CoreCtrl added to Debian Unstable/Ubuntu 23.04 repos
**ADDENDUM**: Ubuntu doesn't apply security patches to packages from the Universe repository unless you have an Ubuntu Pro subscription (it costs money after you use it on 5 systems, as I understand it). Consider this if you want to do compute things with Intel Arc on Ubuntu and Ubuntu derived distros.
hi, do you have some tips of how getting encoders and rt working on opensuse? i running up to date tumbleweed and i cant get rt working on cyberpunk 2077 and only software encoders are avaliable on obs
To get OBS-Studio to record with Arc's AV1 Encoder, you have to use a newer version of OBS-Studio. IIRC, the latest version isn't available from the main repo (if at all). I am using 30.2.3-11.1, a version that supports VAAPI-AV1 that I found on OBS (Open Build Service). I'm hesitant to recommend the repo I used because you should do your own diligence and decide on your own if you want to use one of these repos and whether you find any of these repos safe to use. With all of that said, you could just look into if things work with the flatpak version(I should try that out soon). If all else fails, maybe try Fedora. Are you using the version from the Packman Repo? Also, I have been testing to see if Ray Tracing works since December and I'm waiting with bated breath. If you look in the Intel repo, there's a new package for ray tracing, but I think that maybe something like Embree (which is useful for the likes of Blender). It seems the driver developers are working on ray tracing support for Battlemage, so hopefully when that support is enabled, Alchemist will get ray tracing support on Linux, too.
@@CompellingBytes i've tried nobara (fedora based) and it gave me poor performance and even artifacts on cyberpunk, cachy os (arch based) gave poor performance but runned fine, ubuntu 23.04 had a error trying to install the driver from intel site, only opensuse seems to run fine with good performance and no artifacts
@@Klaus_Stotebecker Cyberpunk also is a bit flakey game-play wise on Linux+Intel Arc, in part because it's a DX12 game. There's been a lot of progress with the Xe2/Battlemage support in the past few months, so I'd say give the drivers a month or two to see if Cyberpunk finally runs well on the Arc Linux combo.
@@Klaus_Stotebecker *Update*: I Just tried Cyberpunk with Mesa 24.2.1, which isn't out yet, but should be soon, and it looks REALLY good, though I can't get mangohud+goverlay to work easily. That should be showing up in the OpenSUSE repo in a few weeks. Also, the game strangely has ray tracing enabled by default (and still looks pretty good), but it seems it runs even better with Ray Tracing disabled, for now.
thanks man, I was confused because my programs, games, and computer generally was running like crap after swapping from Ubuntu lmao.
I have, on Linux Mint Wilma (based on Ubuntu LTS Noble) libmfx-dev - Intel Media SDK -- development files libmfx-gen-dev - Intel oneVPL GPU Runtime -- development files libmfx-gen1.2 - Intel oneVPL GPU Runtime -- shared library libmfx-tools - Intel Media SDK -- tools libmfx1 - Intel Media SDK -- shared library
Because you have an arc card in a system with a something like a 6th generation core cpu, iirc. Also, did you get things to work? Anyway, since you have the A310, I'd would try libmfx-gen1.2 first and see what happens. Your Arc card supports way more codecs/standards than your cpu and if you can, rely on the Arc card. Of course, theres the question of how the Arc card will handle media when it doesn't have REBAR to assist it.
@@CompellingBytes No, 12-gen CPU - Lenovo Ideapad Slim 7i with Arc - I am just listing the package descriptions, did not have the media libraries installed, but I find the media vaapi is active, I am still investigating.
- result of "apt-cache search libmfx" descriptions, I just had wanted to point out that the name of the library in the Noble distribution was altered from the Intel name - libmfx-gen1.2 versus libmfxgen1 in Intel repositories. My findings so far are that "intel-media-va-driver" actually works, but for now, opencl sees only the Arc (it had seen the CPU, Iris Xe IGP, and the Arc originally)

Thank you, and thanks for watching!
cant wait for the amd equivalent of this video
As long as you (or someone else) is sending me a Ryzen system, sure.
@@CompellingBytes yeah sure i will need 2 years to save up for another pc
@@Florennum_ 😁 Also, RDNA cards are a MASSIVE hassle trying to get compute things on Linux to work on them, atm, though I've seen talk that DaVinci Resolve may start to work on AMD GPUs soon, so I might look into that. I have an older (than RDNA3) AMD card I would like to try some things with soon, though.
Holy moly, what a clusterF... and people wonder why some people won't switch to Linux.
It's just some packages to install. Nvidia's proprietary drivers causes windows on my monitor (at least) to black out, and AMD doesn't really support compute for most of their consumer GPUs... unless you're paying north of 400 dollars for one. I made this video with the hopes that the process could be less of a clusterF--- Anyway, thanks for watching
@@CompellingBytes Yeah, but it's multiple of them, and they don't seem intuitive, at least at my first glance from your video. Hopefully one day a distro will make a metapackage, but we'll probably need for Intel ARC to be more popular. Which needs Battlemage. And don't get me wrong, your video certainly helps in dealing with the clusterF, as you directly listed what's needed. I was commenting on the need to have something like this in the first place. Something tells me you didn't research and found out all of this in a mere 30 or 60 minutes.
@@Winnetou17 Yes, Intel Arc needs to be more popular, assuming it continues to exist, especially after whats been happening at Intel recently. And yes, I think Battlemage's success will be crucial. openSUSE has this cool package feature called 'patterns, ' where you can check a given 'pattern' in YAST (**edit**: Right, there are meta packages lol) and install a library of packages for a given task. It would be great if YAST offered compute patterns for the gpu/cpu lines from the various vendors, and it would also be great if other Distros had something like "patterns." It will take Linux becoming more popular, and gpu compute being something that more end users, whether curious tinkerers, or those doing those tasks on Windows, or just some 'k*ller app' making it cool to do something compute oriented on LInux, or maybe Davinci Resolve support for Intel Arc on Linux, to maybe incentivize making this whole process intuitive.
@@CompellingBytes "Failure" I believe, contrary to people who don't look at numbers, will take the form of no "gamer" cards, only professional cards - Intel cards are too powerful at computing fp64, but sort of lame at graphics, for them to do otherwise.
@@VicariousAdventurer I'm not totally sure what you're getting at because you're a bit unclear what you're referring to, but if I understand you correctly, I've been kinda wondering if Alchemist started off only as a professional card, and if the idea of making it a consumer gaming card was shoehorned in after its architecture was drawn out.... especially with the missing silicon that would've accelerated whatever in Unreal Engine games. I've seen grumblings that Intel could end Arc consumer cards and continue their GPU program as a compute only platform, and I think that would be a failure, at least pr wise. Even if you're making less $$$ on the consumer side, its important to have a presence with consumers. That seems to be something Nvidia cares less and less about as time goes on. Anyway, this is something I've been thinking about making a video about so forgive me for not spilling all of my thoughts in a youtube comment.
Thanks again for all the Linux Intel Arc videos!
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!

Does perfmon work on Linux ? You know, that opensource monitoring tool that Intel contributed significantly to, that was featured on Gamer's Nexus a few months ago, as it received an update, allowing you to see if it's CPU bottleneck or GPU bottleneck and in general more low level details. I'm curious if your A380 was actually 100% utilized. Because it's hard to say, given how pretty weak and also not on max power, if that isn't its actual capability.
@@Winnetou17 if you look on the upper right corner of screen captures, you’ll see the utilization percentage of the gpu. The numbers I saw suggested that there was a cpu bottleneck because the GPU wasn’t hitting 100%. To answer your question about perfmon, I don’t believe thats supported on Linux, and its only a recent development that the driver developers for Linux are wiring up access to that data. Another thing to remember is that the Forza Horizon games don’t run as well on Linux as they do on Windows.
@@CompellingBytes Oh, I can't believe I didn't saw that in the upper right corner, lol. With perfmon, I was hoping that being open source it can be built anywhere, but you're right if the drivers don't expose data, then it doesn't have what to show. The road to games running perfectly on Linux sure is looong.
A shame the current Intel drivers for Linux are so bad still. Hopefully the new Xe driver will be actually good so I can start considering buying an Arc graphics card for my PC.
It seems that a lot of Xe development is focused on Battlemage, so we'll have to wait til Battlemage.
@@CompellingBytes will it improve my iris igpu? 12th gen
@@NebulosityNexus You're probably better off sticking with your current driver, i915, at the moment.
Intel just got back to me and pretty much said they don't know why my A310 doesn't work with Linux Mint. Works fine on Windows, black screen on mint. I just move my DP cable to igpu.
Are you using Mint Edge? The new version is coming out in maybe a week, so maybe try it then...
@@CompellingBytes No, but it will be a huge hassle to switch right now, as I run my Emby server on this computer. I will, however, look into it, thanks.
@@safn1949 you may know this, but in the coming weeks the newest version of Linux Mint will be out and maybe over the next couple of months, at most, you should be able to run a distro upgrade via the commandline.

If you're getting bad results no matter what prompt/negative prompt you use, make sure you're using the correct image dimensions for the particular model that you're using. For example, the XL and PonyXL models work best with the following dimensions: 1024 x 1024 640 x 1536 768 x 1344 832 x 1216 896 x 1152 1152 x 896 1216 x 832 1344 x 768 1536 x 640
I'm running a pair of A310's on 2 HP small form factors, works great on Windows but my HP 800 G4, Linux mint boots to the Linux splash screen, then black. Upgraded Mesa and Linux kernel.
Can you get into the terminal/tty? s this a new install? What version of Linux Mint? I'm assuming you were previously using your igpu for video output? Are you using a riser cable? Is it a fresh or established install? Did you get the kernel through the Ubuntu Mainline app? I can't guarantee an answer but I'll give it a shot. Oh and have you tried disabling your cpu's igpu?
Mint uses a very old kernel. Default 5.15 is incompatible. """bleeding"""" kernel for Mint is 6.5 and is still very old. Try a different distro or the Edge ISO as the newest kernel is already 6.10
@@connivingkhajiit They can get Mint 22 right now, thought they may have to wait a bit to Distro upgrade. Mint 22 will have a newer kernel and MESA. From what I've heard, Mint wants to keep up with kernels this go around. Iirc, this person has a Linux Mint instance that they don't want to delete, so the best thing they could do is updating to 22. Things should work, assuming they aren't using LDME.
@@CompellingBytes hopefully that would fix it, cause if its booting the mint splash, its not hardware. Dont know what else it could be besides kernel... Though now that I recall, my A770 worked on Mint with 6.5 before I moved to Fedora.
@@connivingkhajiit It's why I asked all of those questions. I'm wondering if he switched gpus or something. Arc should be plug and play but I've had situations where I had to dabble with stuff after swapping between a 6700xt and A770. I figure it could be some sort of lagged configuration change in a file somewhere.
Went crazy and get a a770 for my good’old x99 (my Chinese x99 has rebar support)
Hi. Did you have any problems running Blender 4.1.1 of Ubuntu 24.04? I am, I think, because Blender 4.1.1 uses python 3.11 and the Ubuntu 24.04 package is 3.12.3
4.1.1 should work. It seems 3.6.0 performs the best with Intel Arc, though
@@CompellingBytesThanks, I'll try that version. Blender runs fine, but menu options with python behind 'em fail. In my case, it's an add-on's export data functionality.
@@noelkelly4354 Interesting, iirc, I used python on openSUSE Tumbleweed to learn how to make graphs and to build the benchmark graphs. openSUSE Tumbleweed is rolling, so the python version probably changes often, though... Are you familiar with PyEnv? It allows you to run different versions of python within an environment. You can set it globally, or you can set it within a directory. If you haven't already, I would try running the downloaded instance of Blender in a directory configured to run under a given version's environment. If you need help setting up pyenv, real python has a good guide on the topic.
@@CompellingBytes Thanks. I'll keep digging. I'm a beginner on both the Blender and Python fronts, but am an experienced programmer.

it's June 2024 and Intel Arc can make use of XeSS on Linux (tested in Hogwarts Legacy), but it's doesn't work as good and as fast as on Windows. On Linux XeSS cannot make use of Arc's XMX engines and has to fall back on a worse upscaling model and DP4a instruction. What's on my wishlist is the ability to directly access XMX engines on Linux
At the time I made this video, I think there were two games with XeSS that I could either play, though to be honest I gave up on newer games after I saw Raytracing couldn’t work in Cyberpunk and Control. Theres been signs of life as far as XeSS functionality since the MESA 24.1 (and maybe Kernel6 6.8+) update. Phoronix recently reported that the Linux driver developers just got to working on raytracing, the feature I’ve been waiting for. Still barely any support for Unreal Engine 5, and I’m about to maybe use my 6700xt for Robocop Rogue City 😂😂😂
I don't think I made this clear, but I used Debian Sid/Unstable and Trixie/Testing as a sort of proof of concept. You shouldn't expect Unstable and Testing setups to always work because they are there for testing purposes. What I didn't say in the video was that the correct packages needed for compute with Intel Arc GPUs are being tested for Debian, and hopefuly, they will be available in the stable repo in the coming months/Debian point releases.
Wow, what a clusterf...un :D Regarding that 32bit, you should be able to have both 32bit and 64bit (also called multilib) on your system. Though I can't say the specifics. Steam is notorious for being 32 bit, still. Though, now that I think of, how the hell did they embedded a chromium instance there ? Did they manually made that 32 bit too ? Though it's maybe simply another process. Anyway, I don't know if I said it already, so excuse me if I'm repeating. I feel like with so much hassle, it might be easier to install it from scratch. And using Gentoo or Arch might be easier. I do lean in favor of Gentoo because it has this customization at compile level streamlined. If you remember the problems that OBS had some time ago on Arch and I think on other distros too, because it was packaged differently and some plugins were missing for some ? Yeah, there's no such nonsense in Gentoo, you can choose exactly and easily what you want in or out. So I'm thinking that if Blender for Intel has very specific dependencies, managing them yourself should be easiest. That is, you to install exactly what you need, without hoping that the OS does it for you, and also to hope that the OS doesn't have something bad/uncompatible/subpar and having to bend backwards to change/replace that. That's why I was thinking of Gentoo. But I am well aware that it's not for the faint of heart. And even among those that aren't scared by it, it's still not exactly popular. But it gives the most freedom of customization from the mainstream / popular distros.
So the whole 32bit thing only happens on Ubuntu Jammy (24.xx) and Distro versions derived from Ubuntu Jammy (such as Linux Mint 21.4). This is because, from what I saw, Intel only supported Ubuntu 22.04 as the only non enterprise release with Arc/Xe compute packages, which were put of tree/out of sync from any of Ubuntu’s repos (I warn about this in my OpenVINO Stable Diffusion guide). Ubuntu 24.04 and other distros no longer have this problem, which I’ll talk about in my next video.
@@CompellingBytes Interesting. Also a bit of headache inducing to trace all of this.
@@Winnetou17 up until recently, its made installing a lot of things very painful, even if using that repo didnt result in not being able to install other packages on a system.
Thanks for all the Linux Intel Arc videos!
Any other way to do this i cant get passed the login screen
Hmm, you could do tty, but if you're doing a fresh install, maybe try POPos! and get the image with Nvidia drivers or Ubuntu 24.04 (whose image is supposed to be pretty big because of the included nvidia drivers as well). Mint should be coming out with a new version in a few months. What model/generation Nvidia GPU are you using? If it's a really old gpu, Nvidia may have stopped supporting it...
Could you also test Vulkan-native games, like Doom, Doom Eternal and Rainbow Six Siege (I think the benchmark would run)
Rainbox Six Siege/Ubisoft games doesn’t/don’t work on Linux, the Doom games raster well enough but raytracing doesn’t yet work on Linux w/ Intel Arc.
If you want to use hardware acceleration on resolve you'll also need to install cuda, which you need to do separately from the driver installation in the driver manager on mint
you should try fedora linux ubuntu is always gonna be behind compared to fedora. it is a good balance of stability and having up to date software. especially considering intel arc is bleeding edge hardware which should always be using intel's latest drivers
Yep, the problem has been that all the arc compute stuff has been exclusively for Ubuntu and Ubuntu derived distros locked away in an Intel repo.
Wow, checked the post on the community too (even though handling the images there is kind of annoying, but still better than nothing I guess). Soo, the results are interesting. In the "doesn't make any sense" way :)) I see that on the Blender page all A770 (not M) results are between 1800 and 2300 points, with the only Linux one being at 1900. 1600 is below, though not by a huge marging. All are using ONEAPI. Is that what you're using too ? Having a better CPU shouldn't help THAT MUCH in this instance. Though I'm just speculating, I don't REALLY know what's happening there. Good luck on the next searches.
Yeah, and every time I run blender I get a new time range of actual rendering. Sometimes it take 45 seconds to render a frame, sometimes it takes 11. Yesterday it took a consistent 14. And yes, I am using oneapi, interesting stuff afoot after the install process if you don’t
Does your A770 constantly blink? Before buying it I saw people claim it was only the HDMI ports, this doesn't seem correct. Every single port on this card does it. Unfortunately I am past the point of return. Kind of regret this card
I haven't experienced any blinking, and I used the HDMI port for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Sorry you're having this experience with your card. You should be covered under Intel's warranty, maybe get in contact with them for an RMA?
Hate to be that guy... but for completeness sake, I have to ask: have you tried with multiple cables AND monitors ?
@@Winnetou17 I sure have! and that's perfectly acceptable to ask Perhaps I could have been more complete in my post there. :) Sometimes I feel when I add details people skip over them and I try to be a little more 'short handed' as a result
Fedora 40 A770 - no issues
@@Fesovika I wish I could say the same because it's certainly doing fine here aside from the blinking
great to see someone using arc for things other than gaming! thanks for the video!
.. and windows.
I added a new community post that supplements this video. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I can link to it (and the graphs that I shared are cut off), so check out the community tab on my channel's page.

Finally straight to the point on how to update the drivers. If I had to follow Nvidia's support page I'd be still reading their txt files. Thank you.
And this is why I made this video… Thanks for watching, I’m glad I could help. Also, if I youre using a Turing or newer Nvidia gpu for gaming, you might want to look into the NVK Nvidia/Vulkan driver
does Starfield work in Linux
I haven't tried it

openSUS
Lol and why do you call openSUSE “sus”?
@@CompellingBytes long time ago I can't pronounce it and I say 'openSus', I just stick with it. 😄
@@GnuChanOS ah, well if youre a non native English speaker and not in the US, “sus” is slang for “suspect” and/or “suspicious.”
Yes The video gets to the heart of the Intel Arc drama, another point for me is even when games don't run is also quite difficult to find solutions. with my old AMD graphics card the vast majority was solved after a visit to Protondb but with Intel Arc I found at best 2 to 3 solution approaches, probably because Arc has hardly any distribution on the market. Good video and I'll leave a subscription there :)
Yes, Protondb is crowd sourced and the information you see there kinda gives a bit of a glimpse into the linux gaming market. Thanks for watching/sharing your thoughts/subscribing!
Thank you so much! 🦾
I actually did a clean install of Tumbleweed recently and a lot of these packages are now in Tumbleweed’s default repository.
hey have you tried loading mods on ? or just vanilla?
I haven’t tried mods yet. I don’t know if I’d do that with Intel Arc right now, I just want to show how games run on Arc in these videos.
