Comment 37 for bug 1514102

Hi Christopher,

Good news! An Intel graphics specific kernel arrived and I installed it. So
far, the graphics are working fine. However, I must point out that more
testing is required.

Here are the details of the files involved etc:-

linux-headers-4.3.0-997-generic_4.3.0-997.201511202100_amd64.deb
linux-image-4.3.0-997-generic_4.3.0-997.201511202100_amd64.deb

Files from:-
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-intel-next/current/

This error message whilst running sudo dpkg -i *.deb
