Software darktable

This is a fresh Ubuntu 24.04.2 install. I don’t know if I have to install proprietary drivers, there are none offered

You need the Intel drivers installed. Do you have those?

No I don’t, because I have no info about this.

Normally Ubuntu offers to install drivers from vendors, like nvidia. But in this case nothing is offered.

Is there a tutorial how to do this?

Where can I download it? Searched for it, but didn’t find the right site.

My kernel is 6.11

4

sudo apt install intel-opencl-icd should do the trick.

The existing repos show:

intel-opencl-icd/noble 23.43.27642.40-1ubuntu3 amd64

I found in the meantime Installing Client GPUs — Intel® software for general purpose GPU capabilities documentation

For Ubuntu 25.04 and 24.04, we offer the intel-graphics Personal Package Archive (PPA).

There are a lot of instructions. what I have to install.

I remember installing a nvidia driver manually can, but must not, be a great challenge, if you do something wrong.

Using Ubuntu 24.04 with Lunar Lake or Battlemage requires your system to be running the hardware enablement (HWE) kernel.

I am writing at another machine, but I think, I do not use a hwe-kernel.

A HWE kernel is not hard to install.

The hwe-kernel was already installed. The question is, if it is used.

~$ dpkg -l | grep linux-image
ii  linux-image-6.11.0-29-generic                  6.11.0-29.29~24.04.1                       amd64        Signed kernel image generic
ii  linux-image-generic-hwe-24.04                  6.11.0-29.29~24.04.1                       amd64        Generic Linux kernel image

It works now somehow, but it should be faster.

Following Installing Client GPUs — Intel® software for general purpose GPU capabilities documentation I did:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:kobuk-team/intel-graphics

sudo apt-get install -y libze-intel-gpu1 libze1 intel-metrics-discovery intel-opencl-icd clinfo intel-gsc

sudo apt-get install -y intel-media-va-driver-non-free libmfx-gen1 libvpl2 libvpl-tools libva-glx2 va-driver-all vainfo

Don’t forget to start Darktable after the installation and check what it says. I had to activate opencli in the settings.

There is something odd. A couple of the modules are using tiles, but your card reports 12gb of memory.

What happens if you set the resources to very fast GPU?

Then do uname -a and you should be able to tell.

Sorry, can’t find this again. The options are in German. Is it posstivle to set the whole interface to English?

Can I change this via ssh? I am doing a lot via ssh, because the machine is 50m away.

This doesn’t show hwe.

Can you tell me how to query if a hwe-kernel is used or how I set the hwe-kernel as default, which is kept after an update.

Maybe I do not use the hwe-kernel, but the normal kernel.

12

Apparently you need to do sudo apt-get install --install-recommends linux-generic-hwe-24.04, then reboot, make sure you select the kernel in GRUB, then you can try hwe-support-status --verbose. I’m not an ubuntu user, so…

Why do you think so. Above I showed that dpkg means, that hwe is installed.

When I try to install the hwe-kernel it says, it is installed already, but beside the normal kernel

~# hwe-support-status --verbose
Your Hardware Enablement Stack (HWE) is supported until Mai 2029.

I think the problem is not, if hwe is installed, but if it is used.

:~$ uname -a
Linux sv.local 6.11.0-29-generic #29~24.04.1-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jun 26 14:16:59 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

That’s what ubuntu says to do. Straight from the ubuntu HWE site. I’d guess that the command should enable the HWE kernel for you too.

the output is not in English, so I tell you what it said, when I tried to install as you posted: “nothing to do, already installed”.

If i try to remove the non-hwe-kernel with apt, it wants to remove the hwe-kernel too, which is not a good idea to remove all kernels :wink:

16

reboot, and select the HWE kernel at the grub boot screen.

This is not possible. There is 1 Ubunut installation with 2 kernels, but no grubmenu.

I thought to modify /etc/default/grub like this:

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

This should work at least for the moment, no idea what happens after a kernel update. But I can’t select the hwe kernel, although it is installed.

Any hint fot the “very fast gpu”-setting?

18

It looks like the hwe-kernel is a metapackage. So the problem is elsewhere.

19

Its in the manual. Preferences…

That’s clear. In which section? I have to translate it from English.
