Intel 530HD

[bitsnpcs]

Hello,
there are no video drivers shown in additional drivers, only cpu intel or no device, it is on cpu Intel.
I have checked updates.
Currently resolution is 640x480, I would like it 1440x900.
How do I add in drivers for this ?

Based on the following two links, it looks like the video adapter you have depends on an i915 driver that seems to be a part of Ubuntu already.  When I do a search for i915 in Install/Remove Software, I see an entry for "xserver-xorg-video-intel" that is already installed.  If you see that, too, maybe you can try reinstalling it.  Right-click and Mark for Reinstallation.

I have reinstalled "xserver-xorg-video-intel", and entered the command the results are above.

So you have the driver installed, but it isn't showing up on the configuration line of your output.  I'm stumped, and it appears the developers will be busy right now working on the beta for Linux Lite 3.4.  Perhaps others will chime in.  In the meantime, this link might lead to something.  In it, it appears that user's problem was acpi:off related.

Make sure you have recent Systemback restore points, just in case.

One other thing, since the driver's not showing up as part of the configuration, I wonder what would happen if you just uninstalled it (maybe choosing the Completely Remove option), rebooted, and reinstalled it.

I was looking at https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2307528 and was thinking..
Perhaps trying a newer kernel?
I think LL3.2 default is 4.3 with 4.9 being available.. Instruction here: https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/insta...ernel/240/

LL3.2 will update kernel with updates but if I recall correctly only incremental for the series.. 4.4.x  4.4.1 to 4.4.25 etc...
- Its a thought 

Make a SystemBack back up you can revert back easily should something unexpected occur...

**** Torreydale and I were posting simultaneously, you may want to try his 1st...  ;D

**** Update 2 - - Some info in regard to kernel https://github.com/linuxenko/ubuntu-skyl...-video-fix

torreydale - I have made a systemback restore point, first time I've used that.
I have completely removed it , rebooted and reinstalled it, the output is the same.

firenice03 - I have made a Systemback backup, I think, followed Jerry's guide for doing the LL iso to usb, changing the filename to the iso, and the drive as instructed, I haven't burned any discs, or burned iso to usb on Linux before, it says success and 1.5GB, ejected the usb.

I received links from the Ubuntu Team member today, and the Ubuntu Admin yesterday, one of the links says it was solved using this
, the link that had this driver link looks a really complicated process, also it was a grouping of many results on the same page of many different methods, several successful, several not, so its confusing me which is part of which method, as the discussion goes back and forth on the several methods.
Would it be worth trying to install this .deb and where, or will the newer kernel already have this, and its a better to try the newer kernel instead ?

Shall I add the links they gave me to the thread as you, torreydale, and others, will have a better understanding of what you are reading , and may be able to know what is the best order to try things, such as kernel update, drivers grub edits ?

The .iso should be ok = typically I make a restore point, the "Create New" button under point operations, which will add an entry under Restore Points - which checking a restore point and clicking System Restore wil easily revert.

For the which to use.. Its a dice roll... The link you gave for the graphics installer is listed for 15.10, LL is 16.04... Me personally - I would go with a newer kernel to confirm any change then maybe the installer...
The newer kernels may have positive results overall for a system like yours running newer hardware...

If using the restore points.. You can make 1 now for a base, another after updating kernel - if positive results then try the installer - as now you have 2 points to restore to...

firenice03 - I have installed the 4.9.0 kernel, it has popped up a window with options menu (manually typed in thread by flicking between pcs using kvm, if any typos).

A new version (/etc/kernel-image.conf.ucf-new) of configuration file /etc/kernel-image.conf is available, but the version installed currently has been locally modified.

What do you want to do about modified configuration file kernel-image.conf ?

install the package maintainer's version
keep the local version currently installed (this one is highlighted by default)
show the differences between the versions
show a side-by-side difference between the versions
start a new shell to examine the situation

Ok

I am unsure should I install the package maintainers versions, or keep the nomodeset edit that got me to the desktop in current kernel ?

[firenice03]

For kernel updates - assuming you used the link I supplied - Jerry states to ignore any errors.
So I would go with the default - which I believe is the same I chose when I updated...  ;D

*** Update *** Oh you original kernel will be "saved" should 4.9 not boot, choosing advanced from grub will give you kernel options to boot from...
