NM10 chipset on 10.04 LTS

[darkog]

Hi, I am trying to get an Intel Atom NM10 chipset based desktop to display in full 1920x1080 resolution on a Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS. Does anyone know what driver they were able to get this to work with?

any ideas? anyone? I am not sure if I am asking a question that has been asked many times or asking a question which is not possible. Given that we are using a LTS supported version -- does that not mean there is LTS support for such things?

[Yellow Pasque]

Ubuntu 10.04 is unsupported/EOL. You need a newer kernel to get a non-generic driver that will allow 1920x1080.

Thanks. I am using the 10.04 LTS server edition. According to this its not EOL until mid 2015.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS

Is there a way to get the graphics drivers which come with the newer kernel and inject them into 2.6.32?

[open2reason]

Could you load and run a live 12.04.4lts cd and then note what drivers it selects for you?
You could then search them out and then if at all possible set about amending your system.

[mörgæs]

Since you mention a resolution of 1920x1080 you are runnning the desktop version which is unsupported.

There have been a lot of improvements for the Atoms in the latest releases so I suggest a clean install of 13.10.

No. It's still the server edition. No special new repositories have been added to apt sources. Once I finished installing the OS and patching it, I ran "sudo aptitude install --without-recommends ubuntu-desktop" on the server edition to install Gnome. What are you saying? Once you install Gnome from the server repo it stops being a server edition and does not qualify for LTS support coverage?

If I could do that I would, but the issue is I am installing a python based client which is only supported on 10.04 LTS. I realize that this is pointing to directing questions to the developers of the other application but, Ubuntu is the one who is claiming they offer LTS support well into next year -- not the developers of the other application. So here I am, I have new hardware and am coming to Ubuntu asking to get LTS support on 10.x to try to get it working properly. The reply of, "just go get the latest version" doesn't sound like Long Term Support to me.

I tried that too. It grabs a driver which is in the kernel I think.

Correct. In fact, once you install any desktop environment you will be supported according to the conditions of said environment, that is three years for Gnome.

# Lucid source packages not in this list are unsupported starting Apr 29, 2013

[grahammechanical]

I do not think that the length of support is relevant. It is missing the point. Is there a video driver, open source or proprietary, that works with the 10.04 Linux kernel and the 10.04 Xserver to give the screen resolution that the OP requires?

Other questions. Was such a video driver available for 10.04 desktop? Did Nouveau give a 1920x1080 screen resolution back in 2004?

No.

This is an intel cedarview chip. I'm not sure why you're talking about nouveau...

Thanks to both of you. I didn't know these facts regarding LTS support. I was always under the impression that as long as you installed a server edition and kept to the packages in the official repo for that server edition you wee covered.

I am going to guess there is no simple way to inject a driver from a new kernel into an order kernel?

No (especially when said driver is closed source...).

[mörgæs]

Even if it were, why would you stick to four years old software?
Time to see what the new releases have to offer.
