How to Install Mesa Drivers on Ubuntu [Latest and Stable]
|
||||
======
|
||||
|
||||
_**This quick tutorial shows the steps to get a newer version of Mesa drivers on Ubuntu, be it stable release or cutting-edge development release.**_
|
||||
|
||||
### What is Mesa?
|
||||
|
||||
[Mesa][1] itself is not a graphics card like Nvidia or AMD. Instead, it provides open source software implementation of [OpenGL][2], [Vulkan][3], and some other graphics API specifications for Intel and AMD graphics hardware. With Mesa, you can play high-end games and use applications that require such graphics libraries.
|
||||
|
||||
More information on Mesa can be found in [this article][4].
|
||||
|
||||
### How to install Mesa on Ubuntu?
|
||||
|
||||
![][5]
|
||||
|
||||
Mesa comes preinstalled on Ubuntu with the open source graphics drivers of Radeon, Intel and Nvidia (sometimes). Though it probably won’t be the latest Mesa version.
|
||||
|
||||
You can check if your system uses Mesa and the installed versions using this command:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
glxinfo | grep Mesa
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If for some reasons (like playing games), you want to install a newer version of Mesa, this tutorial will help you with that. Since, you’ll be using PPA, I highly recommend reading my [in-depth guide on PPA][6].
|
||||
|
||||
Attention!
|
||||
|
||||
Installing new Mesa graphics drivers may also need a newer Linux kernel. It will be a good idea to [enable HWE kernel on Ubuntu][7] to reduce the chances of conflict with the kernel. HWE Kernel gives you the latest stable kernel used by Ubuntu on an older LTS release.
|
||||
|
||||
### Install the latest stable version of Mesa driver in Ubuntu [Latest point release]
|
||||
|
||||
The [Kisak-mesa PPA][8] provides the latest point release of Mesa. You can use it by entering the following commands one by one in the terminal:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt install mesa
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It will give you the latest Mesa point release.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Remove it and go back to original Mesa driver
|
||||
|
||||
If you are facing issues and do not want to use the newer version of Mesa, you can revert to the original version.
|
||||
|
||||
Install PPA Purge tool first:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt install ppa-purge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
And then use it to remove the PPA as well as the Mesa package version installed by this PPA.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo ppa-purge ppa:kisak/kisak-mesa
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Install the latest Mesa graphics drivers in Ubuntu [Bleeding edge]
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the latest Mesa drivers as they are being developed, this is what you need.
|
||||
|
||||
There is this awesome PPA that provides open source graphics drivers packages for Radeon, Intel and Nvidia hardware.
|
||||
|
||||
The best thing here is that all driver packages are automatically built twice a day, when there is an upstream change.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want the absolute latest Mesa drivers on Ubuntu and do not want to take the trouble of installing it from the source code, use this [PPA by Oibaf][9].
|
||||
|
||||
The PPA is available for 20.04, 20.10 and 21.04 at the time of writing this article. It is no longer updated for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
|
||||
|
||||
Open the terminal and use the following commands one by one:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
|
||||
sudo apt update
|
||||
sudo apt install mesa
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will give you the latest Mesa drivers.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Remove it and go back to original Mesa driver
|
||||
|
||||
You can remove the PPA and the installed latest Mesa driver using the ppa-purge tool.
|
||||
|
||||
Install it first:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo apt-get install ppa-purge
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Now use it to disable the PPA you had added and revert the Mesa package to the version provided by Ubuntu officially.
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
