Fail: Pc intel i5 + gnome 3 + debian 7.8


Hi,
I installed Debian 7.8 on a desktop pc and great features gnome 3 did not work, just by turning the classic gnome. The error message was like that when running the first time: "Your hardware or software are not compatible with GNOME 3".

PC DATA:

CORE I5vPro, 8GB RAM

# lsb_release -a
In LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Debian Description: Debian GNU / Linux 7.8 (wheezy) Release: 7.8

Codename: wheezy

# Lspci | grep VGA
00: 02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Haswell Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 06)

COMMANDS TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS:

# apt-get install firmware-linux-free firmware-linux
# apt-get install fglrx-modules-dkms fglrx-driver-fglrx-glx libgl1
# apt-get install intel-gpu-tools

Thank U.

The Haswell graphics in your CPU is simply to new for Debian 7, you will need to use a more recent distribution or try your luck with installing a newer kernel (and if possible libdrm and Mesa) from the Backports repository.
Also, do not install the fglrx stuff, this is for AMD GPUs only.

The fglrx driver is for amd video cards.

Go to intel site.

As @TobiSGD says, you need a newer kernel from the wheezy-backports repository -- I have used this to get wheezy working with my Haswell hardware.
