Re: [Contact] Ubuntu 14.04 no longer supported?

[Michael Burke <michael@gravex.ws>]

Hi Intel Graphics Drivers Team,

Please see my earlier email below regarding the current Intel Drivers Package that is held on the 01.org site.

It doesn't work for my system, which is running Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. The version the website is telling me to download runs on Ubuntu 14.10, but refuses to work on 14.04 as it's an older OS.

As I said in my original email that I don't know if this is a bug with this software package or not, but it's bizarre that the website would take down the 14.04 version when it's still current and used by a large group of people.

Thanks,
Michael

Hi,

I am running Ubuntu 14.04 which is an LTS and still supported by Canonical, and I need to update the graphics drivers on two laptops which both use Intel graphics cards. However, I notice that you have taken down the related graphics drivers for 14.04. Your version for 14.10 (which isn't LTS) refuses to work on 14.04.

What was the reasoning behind this? Or is this just a bug with the driver package you have on your site? Any answer would be brilliant, as I'm struggling with the lack of a decent driver on this system.

Many thanks,
Michael
