Intel HD Graphics 530 not working on Ubuntu 15.10

Question

I'm currently trying to setup an Ubuntu 15.10 to run VMs with VGAPassthrough. The to be dedicated graphics card should be my GTX750ti, with the internal graphics chip of the i7-6700k (Intel HD Graphics 530). But it simply won't work. I've done my research and learnt that the Skylake GPUs are kinda funky as they're pretty new.

Symptoms:

When checking with sudo lspci -k | grep -EA2 'VGA|3D the only Graphics card shown is my 750ti

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev a2)
    Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 84ac
    Kernel driver in use: nvidia

I've updated to kernel 4.3.4-040304-generic and still same issue.

So far i

tried kernel flag i915.preliminary_hw_support=1 in kernel 4.2
updated to kernel 4.3.4
tried kernel flag intel_idle.max_cstate=1 in kernel 4.3

Source

Update Still occuring with kernel 4.5.0-040500rc1-generic

Update 2 When setting the CPU Graphics Card as primary display in BIOS, the monitor flickers a bit while loading the kernel, until the monitor turns completely black. Last error before it turns black Propably something related to bus speeds

Update 3 I reviewed the possible duplicate, but the iGPU doesn't get recognized:

[    2.382028] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: failed to add i915 component master (-19)

Do you have any BIOS settings to use the iGPU rather than the discrete video card at boot time? — bain, Jan 26 '16 at 00:32
I set it to iGPU as the primary display, but the kernel crashes with some errors somewhat related to i915 or so... gonna make a pic and link it

Next thing i'll try is propably Ubuntu 16.04 — Matze, Jan 26 '16 at 19:56

iGPU should work as primary display, the error looks like bug #1501260. You should report a bug on freedesktop.org. There is also a patch that might fix the issue (if it does, mention that in the bug report). — bain, Jan 26 '16 at 20:54
snd_hda_intel - that's the audio driver, check this question where the solution was apparently to uninstall the Nvidia drivers. — bain, Jan 26 '16 at 20:57
Installed the intel drivers with the graphical installer from their site before trying the nightly builds, and it seems to work with igpu primary :) the card even gets recognized on the pci bus as a vga comptaible card, only problem left is that now xserver/gnome-shell won't startup — Matze, Jan 27 '16 at 09:03
The last message is [ OK ] Started GNOME Display Manager.... -but nothing happens — Matze, Jan 27 '16 at 09:04
Check /var/log/Xorg.0.log dmesg and /var/log/syslog for errors. — bain, Jan 27 '16 at 09:32

try this one:

sudo apt-get purge nvidia*  
sudo reboot 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-358
sudo reboot

It should work.
