Every time I follow the steps to use it, I click the file I downloaded and it pulls up Ubuntu Software Center with an error: Dependency not satisfiable: libglib2.0-0 (>=2.37.3). Now I thought I might have to download libglib, so I went into the command line and entered the command: sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-0 And boom, downloaded and installed. When it still didn't work I restarted, still same error message. I've tried fifteen different approaches to getting my graphics card to operate like it should in the last hour and a half just trying to circumvent this issue when I couldn't resolve it. Someone please be my hero and just tell me how to make the installer work.

Assuming you downloaded the official genuine not guaranteed to work properly graphics installer from Intel at 01.org, you first do the download, then you go to the dask and type 'intel' at which point the intel-linux-graphics-installer should appear so you can run it, or open a terminal alt+ctrl+t and enter the command

intel-linux-graphics-installer

but before you do this, you should also know how to uninstall the driver should you possibly need to.

From the terminal window that you can get to by pressing alt+ctrl+f1, enter the commands

Try to completely remove your ATI drivers from your system:

sudo apt-get purge fglrx*

Remove your xorg.conf

sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Reinstall xorg completely

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-core libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri

Re-configure Xorg

sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Reboot

If you can't get to the terminal as described above, use the recovery mode, and enter the root mode. Use the command mount -o remount,rw / to get the disk into writeable mode, and enter the commands above.

  • Major issue with that is that I've already messed around with xorg a bunch. I can't figure out why, but no matter what I do I end up with broken packages. Xorg won't work on my machine... one of the issues I also attempted rectifying. So yeah, I've purged and removed and reinstalled a couple times with no results. – Ashton Brown Jul 23 '14 at 01:32
  • @AshtonBrown It's painful. I ended up using the oibaf drivers instead. Faster than the xorg, not as unstable as xorg-edgers. They work really well in my dell laptop with intel graphics. I may see some improvement using the intel driver, but last time I did that it was really, really bad. – Charles Green Jul 23 '14 at 01:35
  • I haven't tried the oibaf drivers yet. If you recommend em' I'll give em a shot. – Ashton Brown Jul 23 '14 at 01:37
  • @AshtonBrown They worked without issue on a dell inspiron 15r, and an HP pavillion dv7-4263, both of which would not do 3d well prior to that. They include instructions to revert to stock drivers via ppa-purge. The repository can be found at launchpad (https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers). I sometimes get a little tearing, but they have updates 2 or 3 times a week. – Charles Green Jul 23 '14 at 01:44
