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

[Jaakan-Shorter]

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.

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.

Hello Jaakan-Shorter, 

Thank you so much for the response.

I will still raise the issue with our engineers so we can determine the exact cause of the issue.

I will post the response on this thread once it is available.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Best regards,
