    Hi - thanks to all of you for digging that up, I've bounced it across to the team that handles it.

    Since we'are not talking about some complicated programming/algorithm issue, but about config-value bug is there any roadmap for the hotfix (day, week, month)?

    Thanks.

    Hey gang,

    Thanks for the heads-up. I've updated the ilg-config.cfg file hosted on download.01.org to point to the https URL. It may take a while for this change to propagate, but so far as I can tell here it's now fixed.

    Cheers

    When attempting to install I get a unicode error

    UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0x92 in position 579: invalid start byte
     
    Occurs on the upgrading system page when "listing packages". Seems to have broken apt / aptdaemon for  some reason.
     
    Have tried reinstall, reinstalled apt and aptdaemon - despite this same error each time
     
    Any clues?

    What's the difference between install driver by "Linux Graphic Installer" or just install this packages already present in Ubuntu Universe Repository?:

        i965-va-driver:amd64 (1.3.0-1ubuntu1)
        libva-drm1:amd64 (1.3.0-2)
        libva-egl1:amd64 (1.3.0-2)
        libva-glx1:amd64 (1.3.0-2)
        libva-intel-vaapi-driver:all (1.3.0-1ubuntu1)
        libva-tpi1:amd64 (1.3.0-2)
        libva-wayland1:amd64 (1.3.0-2)
        libva-x11-1:amd64 (1.3.0-2)
        vainfo:amd64 (1.3.0-2)

    I don't insert "intel-gpu-tools:amd64 (1.6-1)" package because is the only one with different version between installer (v1.6-1) and repository (v. 1.3.0-2), also I read this is just a debugger so I think it is not necessary.

    I've installed the 64-bit GNU/Linux XUbuntu 14.04 LTS operating system into my mother's laptop (a 15.6" Acer Aspire notebook model number E1-571-6854, which uses a Intel Core i5-3230M processor with Intel Graphics HD 4000) and have just installed and ran the Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.5 (14 May 2014) for Linux Ubuntu 14.04, 64-bit.

    All the installation process ocurred without any trouble. However, like some other guys I'm too wondering if any of the installed files were really necessary. Also, I am not sure if the driver was installed correctly. Apparently, the i965 driver should've replaced the i915 one. Assuming that this is a true statement, the O.S. indicates that such replacement didn't happen, otherwise the output of the lshw -c video command wouldn't be this:

    Also, the command modinfo i965 gives me this output:
     
    modinfo: ERROR: Module i965 not found.
     
    ...while the modinfo i915 command outputs this:

    I've also ran the sudo updatedb && locate i965 command: no i965.ko file is present anywhere in the system.
     
    Finally, the command lspci -vvvknn -s 00:02.0 returned me the following:

    I can't help wondering what change the version 1.0.5 of the Intel Graphics Installer effectively provides. It seems that no driver was updated.

    Hi,

     

    I'm thinking / getting the same result as you on this.  Did you ever get a response or come to a conclusion on this?

    thanks,

    In a nutshell: the i915 driver is your graphics device driver and the i965 driver deals with the video acceleration part (it's called Intel VA-API, meaning "Intel's Video Acceleration Application Programming Interface"). If your system is Ubuntu 14.04, then it already had the 1.0.5 version of i915 and hence all that the IGI (Intel Graphics Installer) did was to install the VA-API (the i965 driver plus all the other VA-API-related files).

    For a little more info, please read this post.
