    I just goy my X86 and have been working through the setup for Ubuntu. Using the link in the documentation, I downloaded Ubuntu 18.04. When I get to the step of installing the Intel Graphics update tool, a window pops up saying it is obsolete. Are the necessary Intel graphics already included in Ubuntu 18.04 or do I need to download one of the Intel Graphics Stack Recipes? If so, which one?
    Thanks!

    The tool is now redundant. The timeframe between Intel releasing a graphics driver and it becoming available in the Ubuntu distributions is now swifter than when they created the tool to compensate for the time it used to take. As a result, they have now retired the tool.

    Thanks Laura. That makes sense. Is there anything I need to do to load all the graphics and GPU stuff into the X86? I tried running vainfo but it was not there which made me think that the Intel graphics hadn't been installed. So I installed vainfo and ran it -- it seems that most of it is working right. I'm a Linux newb so sorry if I'm asking dumb questions. I was hoping to go through the tutorial and have my X86 all set and ready to go.
    I have a LimeSDR Mini and I am trying to duplicate the demo using the GNU radio fosphor block.

    I'm on my third start-from-scratch attempt - I don't think I had the graphics working properly on my previous attempts so wanted to sort this out before I tried again.

    Thanks!
