[STICKY] Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.6 for ZorinOS 9

UPDATED FOR 1.0.6
thanks goto Madvineger and Gizmuntu for their posts on this .
I took snippets from both and modified for the new 1.0.5 driver

If you surely know that your computer has an Intel graphic card and you’re
running Ubuntu 14.04 > Zorin OS 9, continue below to learn how to install this package,
Some users have had issues with their systems after installing and configuring
the driver package, so you should be cautious and backup your system before
installing.
Check here first to see if your card is supported

1. Create a backup of your lsb-release file. In terminal:

Code:

sudo mv /etc/lsb-release /etc/lsb-release_backup

2. Create a new lsb-release file:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/lsb-release

inside the file we copy/paste the following:

Code:

  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04
  DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04"

We save the file, exit and then we reboot.

Code:

sudo reboot

After you run the intel installer and the installation is complete,DON'T REBOOT,
revert back to your old lsb-release file by doing the following in terminal:

sudo rm /etc/lsb-release
sudo mv /etc/lsb-release_backup /etc/lsb-release

sudo reboot

when I do this I get several errors. I seem to have quite a few missing dependencies. I'm still pretty new to linux and I'm not sure how to get these or to get around this. I launched from term

Hi jonas99, thought your efforts were worthy of making this post a true [STICKY] so that it gets to the top of the tree and because of a lot of discussion on the subject of late! 60 blue jewels to you sir!

Hi spiderobert as per Wolfman in you other post. Intel has dropped support for all previous of its linux driver. so Zorin OS 8 is no longer supported.you need to upgrade to Zorin OS 9 for this to work.
use this link to help update as per wolfmans suggestion.
http://www.zoringroup.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4848

So Intel Graphic Installer 1.0.5 will not work for Zorin 8 and below
Intel Graphic installer 1.0.4 for linux is still avail for now and it supports Zorin 8
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads/2014/intelr-graphics-installer-1.0.4-linux
so substitute the 1.0.5 files with the 1.0.4 files.

Hi
I was trying to install the new intel driver for os9 and i got to the step where you add the driver and when i put the command to add the 32 bit driver i get the following message

noway@zorinos9:~$ cd /tmp && wget https://download.01.org/gfx/ubuntu/14.0 ... 1_i386.deb

As of now my comptuer is still running but i have no idea what to do now or if any thing happened to my comptuer.

What should i do now so i can complete the installtion of the new intel driver.

Thanks in advance

Hi
I was trying to install the Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.5 for ZorinOS 9 and when I got to step where to install the 32 bit version I got a Error 404 message. So I went and did a Google search about it and I found out that a new version came out on 8/4/2014 Intel Graphics Installer 1.0.6 for ZorinOS 9 you can find it here
https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads

I went and installed 1.0.6 and then updated my the graphic driver and for my graphic card which is a
Mobile Intel(R) 4 Series Express Chipset Family I had no problems (at least not yet lol).

I just thought I let you guys know so maybe the guide above can be updated for the new version that is out now because if anyone tries to use the 1.0.5 guide it you will get a Error 404 message (just a suggestion).

Thanks

Great find BarryF - 120 blue jewels to you sir!

@jonas99 - any chance you could do the updated information?

Done--

Great job jonas99! Another 120 blue jewels for your efforts!

Hello, first THANK YOU. This was amazing and it helped so much. But I some how messed up the backup and now it is playing the ubuntu start up every time I reset my computer. Is this a big deal? Is there a way to fix it?

Never mind, it seems to have fixed itself.
