(Linux) Trouble installing Intel drivers Ubuntu 25.04

Greetings! First some specs out of the way:

  • Ubuntu 25.04
  • Ryzen 5 5600x
  • Intel Arc A770 16 GB
  • 6.14.0-15-generic kernel
  • Mesa 25.1.0-rc3

 

I had updated my system to make use of some bleeding-edge features, however I encountered an issue following the instructions provided here.

 

APT cannot locate the packages intel-metrics-discovery, intel-gsc, libmfx1, and libmfx-gen1. It appears they simply do not exist for Ubuntu 25.04 in the repository.

...Ubuntu 25.04 is a non-LTS, pre-release version, and at this stage, Intel’s official driver support (including packages like intel-metrics-discovery, intel-gsc, libmfx1, and libmfx-gen1) may not yet be fully aligned or available through the standard repositories for this version. The packages you're trying to install are typically provided via Intel's official repositories or through the upstream Ubuntu/Mesa stacks. Since 25.04 is still relatively new, these packages may not yet be built or published for this specific release in either the default APT sources or Intel’s PPA (if applicable). Intel's discrete GPU stack is rapidly evolving, and while your Arc A770 is fully supported on Linux with recent Mesa and kernel versions, OS version compatibility with middleware and driver components remains critical especially when operating on the leading edge...

 

1) Intel typically validates and builds packages for LTS releases (e.g., Ubuntu 22.04). I recommend temporarily testing with an LTS base (or a 24.04 environment once officially supported by Intel) for stable support

 

2) Use apt-cache search or dpkg -l to verify if any of the packages were renamed or replaced in this release

 

3) Intel often publishes early driver and middleware builds on 01.org and Intel’s GitHub. You may be able to build some of the components manually (e.g., intel-gsc or metrics-discovery) if you're comfortable compiling from source

 

4) These communities often have early insight into packaging timelines for pre-release Ubuntu versions

 

...hope it helps
