How to install intel drivers on Fedora 24
So Fedora 24 came out recently and just like me you ran and did yourself a fresh install. Now you want those video drivers and Intel Graphics installer tells you that your distribution is not supported.
To fix all we need to do is fool the installer into believing that we are still on fedora 23.
If you don’t already have it installed
for 64 bit
wget https://download.01.org/gfx/fedora/23/x86_64/intel-linux-graphics-installer-1.4.0-23.intel20161.x86_64.rpm
for 32 bit
https://download.01.org/gfx/fedora/23/i686/intel-linux-graphics-installer-1.4.0-23.intel20161.i686.rpm
then install with
sudo dnf install ./intel-linux-graphics-installer-1.4.0-23.intel20161.x86_64.rpm
Now to edit the file that tells the installer which version we are running
edit /etc/fedora-release with either nano or vim
vim /etc/fedora-release
and change
Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)
to
Fedora release 23 (Twenty Three)
now we can run the installer with
sudo intel-linux-graphics-installer
it should detect Fedora 23. install the necessary files and ask to restart.
Restart, and on the next boot change your /fedora-release file back to the original
Fedora release 24 (Twenty Four)
Works for me. Enjoy!
Thanks, it worked for me too, but somthing happened after I edited back the fedora-release file, tried dosbox and emulated doom good, but after the next reboot the game was sluggish again, ubuntu doesnt have that problem (16.04)
Any ideas on why?
odd, sounds like the driver disables itself upon reboot. It doesn’t seem to be a problem for me… As a temporary fix (at least until a proper version for 24 is out) you can try leaving the release file as 23.
Hey Buddy, I’ve thank you for the help
Thanks ^^
wow, its working, thanks
Awesome. Works well. Thanks so much!
I think I’ll wait for the official package :).

what can i do for resolve this problem? tnx
Installing seems to work like “git”. Anyway, 01.org doesn’t let me in with the following message:
“Sichere Verbindung fehlgeschlagen
Ein Fehler ist während einer Verbindung mit 01.org aufgetreten. Sichere Kommunikation mit der Gegenstelle ist nicht möglich: Keine gemeinsamen Verschlüsselungsalgorithmen. (Fehlercode: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)”
I’m running Fedora 20 KDE and my default resolution is not
available, even not with xrandr.
