Blender can't find my GPU now, upgraded to Ubuntu 24.04 from 23.10

Jaakan-Shorter · ‎04-26-2024

I had a feeling I should have waited to upgrade.

This could be Ubuntu bug since I had to switch to nouveau, reboot, switch back to nvidia-driver-XXX(proprietary, tested), and reboot on my GF's daughter's computer after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04. Just in case this not a Ubuntu bug... Maybe The repo is not prep'd for 24.04 yet?

here is how it happened

1. Base install - Ubuntu 23.10 + ARC drivers ( from the intel repo ) + Blender 4.1.1

2. open Blender and go to GPU settings, should find the GPU

3. Upgrade Ubuntu 23.10 to Ubuntu 24.04

4. open Blender and go to GPU settings, GPU is currently missing

I tried sudo apt-get remove --purge '^Intel-.*' and reinstalling but didn't seem to help

I did wipe and install Ubuntu 22 LTS after my post.

My advice for anyone with an ARC GPU and Ubuntu stay on 22 LTS or 23, until the repo gets updated to support Ubuntu 24 LTS.

I do game on Linux but mostly use the ARC GPU for blender.

ACarmona_Intel · ‎05-02-2024

Hello Jaakan-Shorter,

Thank you for posting in our communities.

May we know if wiping and installing Ubuntu 22 LTS resolves the issue?

And if you still want us to investigate the issue, please share your SSU LINUX , as it contains important details about your system that can help us analyze the root cause of the issue. In addition, may we also know what version of Blender you are using?

Thank you, and have a great day ahead!

Best regards,

Installing Ubuntu 22 LTS + Intel GPU repo got everything back to working order. I'm using Blender 4.1.1.

I'm 100% sure the Intel GPU repo hasn't been updated to support Ubuntu 24 LTS yet is the issue.

It wasn't a big deal for me to wipe Ubuntu 24 LTS and install Ubuntu 22 LTS but it might cause a bigger headache for others.

On a secondary note because the following page has not been updated since Nov 2023 it makes it look like the Linux drivers haven't been updated when they have been.

Sorry been busy with work. For you questions I have to answer N/A for most of them, I am using a 1080p display. Blender is of course windowed and the OpenGL games I do play with GPU hardware support I run at full screen.

But the main issue is the Intel Linux gpu drivers repository doesn't support Ubuntu 24.X yet. In terms of applications like Blender's GPU based rendering or gaming using OpenGL / Vulkan with GPU hardware support etc...

And yes wiping and installing Ubuntu 22 LTS fixed my issue.

I can understand only Officially supporting LTS versions so development isn't always a moving target.

I personally really like my ARC A750.

ACarmona_Intel · ‎05-22-2024

Hello Jaakan-Shorter,

We are checking in with you to see if you already have the answers to our questions so we can further isolate our issue.

I am subscrubinh this post since I ahave also issues with Ubuntu 24.04, that the version is not being supported for latest Intel iGPU.

I don't get what moderators say about this issue.
I am so stressed being spaemmed by unrelated answers.

Hello Jaakan-Shorter,

We sincerely appreciate your warm feedback and thorough response.

By the way, is it feasible for you to provide us with your SSU LINUX, which has crucial information about your system? since I will raise our case with our senior engineers for further investigation.

Thank you.

Wouldn't you need me to upgrade my system to Ubuntu 24.04 before running that?

The issue is with https://repositories.intel.com/gpu/
Needing to be updated to support Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

If you already updated it to support that since Ubuntu 24.04 lts came out, the following is out of date either way because I know you have drivers newer than Nov 2023

If you need me to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from 22.04 LTS and run the SSU just say the word.

ACarmona_Intel · ‎05-26-2024

Hello Jaakan-Shorter,

We sincerely appreciate your kind offer. To save your time and effort, there's no need to upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 LTS from 22.04 LTS.

We will wait for your Linux SSU. Thank you.
