Intel NUC 13 Pro Video drivers

Hardware Support

Runnin this:
lspci -k | grep -EA3 'VGA|3D|Display'

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device a7a0 (rev 04)
DeviceName: Onboard - Video
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 3037
00:06.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Device a74d

As far as I can tell the driver is not yet in the kernel. I have a fresh install and chose the graphics option on Zorin. I need a bit of help getting the Intel Iris Xe Graphics driver installed.

Ah... Intel Iris Xe... the most Notorious of the Intel Chipsets...

Do you, by chance, know which generation?

That is why I asked. It is currently known that 13th gen lacks support:

Have you tried installing intel-media-va-driver?

We could try a higher kernel.
You might try @AhavaLeaf 's suggestion in another thread of using the zabbly adapted kernel. Install instructions are available here:

If you are Dual Booting Windows and have Secure Boot enabled, then installing the TuxInvader 6.3 kernel may be the way to go:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline

sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-generic-6.03

Will Core have that kernal anytime soon?

Sparkey

Core / Lite / Pro / Education all use the same kernel.

I do not think 6.3 or 6.4 will be on Zorin OS 16 anytime soon.

WIerd they sell the NUC 13 Pro with Zorin Core if you want it preinstalled. Wonder how they traversed the kernal/drivers etc..

I am not sure. Have you tried any of the steps I have suggested above?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline
sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-generic-6.03

Never mind I found it

You can remove with:

sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:tuxinvader/lts-mainline

sudo apt remove linux-generic-6.03

You are only getting Black Screen at boot? Are you using these commands in the Recovery Terminal Prompt?

No sir it just boots says no kernel avail. ill just wait for a year or so maybe 17 has it in it.. the NUC 10 I purchased works well with that and has the intel video drivers fine. You can go back to helping other as I know your a good person and work hard helping others. I just wanted this nuc I got for plex and it cant transcode without video drivers loaded.

You might test an interim like Ubuntu 23.10 or 23.04 to see if it works...
If it does, maybe we can look at what drivers are included.

18

I'll do that. I will follow up here on my findings.
