tar xf sklgucver43.tar.bz2
cd skl_guc_ver4_3/ ; sudo ./install.sh
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all

Kernel - 4.6.X

  • 4.6 kernel from the Ubuntu kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.6-yakkety seems very stable with no system hangs/video freeze.

  • Some graphic glitches remain which are fixed by adding Option "XVideo" "Disable" in the Extensions Section of your xorg.conf file.

  • Installation:

    • Download and install linux-headers-4.6.0-xxx_all.deb , linux-headers-4.6.0-xxx-generic_xxx_i386/amd64.deb

      with sudo apt-mark hold linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic

Kernel - 4.7.6

  • 4.7.6 kernel from kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7.6/ fixed all issues that I had with video on Ubuntu 16.04. All other solutions described here didn't work for me.

  • Installation:

    • Download and install linux-headers-4.7.6-xxx_all.deb , linux-headers-4.7.6-xxx-generic_xxx_i386/amd64.deb and linux-image-4.7.6-xxx-generic_xxx_i386/amd64.deb from kernel-ppa/mainline/v4.7.6
