Graphics Drivers for Ubuntu 25.04 (Linux)

[ayon]

Description

Yesterday, I installed Ubuntu 25.04 and, when I tried to install graphics drivers for my system, I realized there is no installation method yet. When should we expect to get the updates?

By the way, is that documentation open-source? If yes, please share the link.

add-apt-repository -y ppa:kobuk-team/intel-graphics

Hello ayon,

Thank you for posting in Intel community Forum.

For me to further check this, please help provide the following details:

1. Are you using an Intel brand Arc A750?
2. Can you share the link where you downloaded the driver?
3. Aside from the driver installation, are you having other issues on your Arc A750?

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Best regards,

1. Yes
2. I actually shared in my previous message, this was the article/documentation I was talking about: https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/driver/client/overview.html
3. Yeah, I have created another issue in this website about that: https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Arc-A750-and-Linux-Gaming/m-p/1658899/highlight/true#M137858

Hello ayon,

Thank you for the update.

Upon checking, Arc A750 only supports Ubuntu* 22.10. Please refer to the link below:

Intel® Arc™ Graphics – Desktop Quick Start Guide

And even in the drive download link, it is only for Ubuntu* 22.10

Intel® Arc™ A750 Graphics

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Quite frankly, I think you don’t have any idea what you have just said. Or, maybe Intel's support for Linux and Ubuntu so bad that it’s unbelievable. As you have mentioned, Ubuntu* 22.10 is the only operating system that is supported. Then, let me tell you something, this exact version for Ubuntu was released in october 2022 and it reached it's end of life on july 2023. So, the Ubuntu stopped giving updates for this version. But the part I felt the most hilarious was that, the article you have sent me was last reviewed on december 2024.

Now, it's really confusing when one of your webpage says one thing and another saying complete different thing. I wish Intel had provided better and more frequent driver support for its linux users.

Hello ayon,

Thank you for the update.

I understand how you feel. I can have this inquiry checked to see if we still have some recommendations.

Kindly check if you can generate the SSU logs of your system. Please check the link below for the link of Intel SSU for Linux:

Intel® System Support Utility for the Linux* Operating System

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Sorry for the delay, but it's been a week or so since I do not have the mice for my computer. However, I downloaded the ssu.tar.gz and inside that file there was a README file which says my Operating System is not supported. But, I still executed the script with sudo privileges. But the output was almost nothing. And, even if there was anything, I don't know how to upload a file through qutebrowser. 

I'm currently using Arch. Probably, I have to get back to Ubuntu, to be able to generate the ubuntu.txt even though the latest Ubuntu or any Operating Systems are not supported by that that ssu.sh as per the README.

Hello ayon,

Thank you for the update.

I am not aware that you switched to Arch OS.

By the way, let me share this link for the supported OS:

https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000091128/graphics/intel-arc-dedicated-graphics-family.html

Please update me once you switched back to Ubuntu or if you will choose Windows and provide the SSU logs.

For Windows, here is the guide:

Using ssu.sh I have generated the ubuntu.txt which I have linked with this reply. I just realized the question I asked is not related to my system in particular, rather a question in general about Intel's support for Linux. Specifically, when Intel is going to give the support for latest release of Ubuntu 25.04 and that was it.

[Mike_Intel]

Hello ayon,

Thank you for the information provided.  

I will do further research on the support for Ubuntu 25.04 and post the response on this thread once it is available.

Please let us know if you still need assistance.
