Intel Graphics Driver for Ubuntu 16.10 [closed]

I need to install the Graphics Driver in my Ubuntu 16.10 but when I try to install the Intel Graphics updater I get:

This package is uninstallable

Dependency is not satisfiable: libpackagekit-glib2-16.

Solution 1:

I fiddled around until I got it working, here's what I think the actual steps you need to do to get the existing intel graphics driver working with 16.10 are:

1. Download The deb for libpackagekit-glib2-16 here - http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty/amd64/libpackagekit-glib2-16/download and install that deb using dpkg -i.
2. Download and install the intel-linux-graphics-installer using dpkg -i. Currently it's version 1.4.0: https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads
3. Copy /etc/lsb-release to /etc/lsb-release.backup. $ sudo cp /etc/lsb-release /etc/lsb-release.backup
4. Modify /etc/lsb-release to what it was for xenial: DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=16.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=xenial DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 16.04"
5. Fetch and accept the public key used by the current intel repo: $ sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 56A3DEF863961D39
6. Run the intel linux graphics installer: $ sudo intel-linux-graphics-installer
7. Restore you original /etc/lsb-release file: $ mv /etc/lsb-release.backup /etc/lsb-release

After that, it'll prompt you to reboot. After the reboot I'm running using the intel drivers.

Solution 3:

Uninstall of Intel® Graphics for Linux 2.0.3 to a 16.10 @ skylake.

See the original link below to original post, i just forked this to fit 16.10, https://theclonker.de/removing-the-intel-linux-graphics-driver/

Open a new Terminal (CTRL+Alt+T) and make a new file

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/preferences.d/intel-removal

Paste this code in the File and save it

    Package: *
    Pin: release a=yakkety*
    Pin-Priority: 1001

    Package: *
    Pin: origin download.01.org
    Pin-Priority: -100

Then run in terminal

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

(this will install back the packages you had originally)

Then just some cleaning in terminal

sudo rm /etc/apt/preferences.d/intel-removal
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/intellinuxgraphics.list*
sudo apt-get update

Don’t forget to remove the actual Drivers !

sudo apt-get purge i965-3.6-3.5-dkms intel-linux-graphics-installer

reboot and you are done.
