Intel ARC i915 not loading/not booting on Ubuntu 24.0

[bizmate]

As posted in a comment related to a VM, https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/Intel-ARC-driver-not-loaded-in-Ubuntu-24-04-VM/m-p/1635128/highlight/true#M134830 , my problem is actually with a dualboot installation.

I am opening a separate post as the other comment, in the post at link above, has not been answered and I wanted to ensure it could be picked up .

I have looked at the drivers pages for Arc i915 support for Linux but I cannot find it as officially supported yet, it mentions only up to 23.04.

I have installed Ubuntu 24.04 and so far i had to apply several workaround to get the system to be accessible, link to more details on this forum post https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2500132 


The forum post has a name that seems to be actually unrelated to the real underlying issue but there are no explicit messages printed out by the kernel journal as I assume the Ubuntu 24.04 kernel does not get any specific information back from the Intel  hardware as it should be.

I have seen a page with Arc drivers but it does not mention support for Ubuntu 24.04 or ARC i915 as far as I can see https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/747008/intel-arc-graphics-driver-ubuntu.html .

I also posted on Launchpad but it has been set to private so I assume you wont be able to ready it, i ll print it as PDF https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/2081636 . The laptop is a asus-zenbook-ux3405ma-14-inch-touchscreen

Can I please ask directions in terms of compatibility and troubleshooting of the problem? Is Intel going to add compatibility or has it already added it?
