Supported devices
- This guide is valid for Airtop, Airtop2
Prepare installation media
- A USB DVD-ROM drive or a USB Flash drive of at least 2GB should be used as installation media
- Download Linux Mint 19 "Tara" - Cinnamon (64-bit)"
- For installation with a USB DVD-ROM - flash the downloaded image directly onto a DVD
- For installation with a USB Flash drive, please follow How to install Linux Mint via USB tutorial
Base installation of Linux Mint
- Follow the standard Linux Mint installation procedure - choose timezone, partitions, username, password etc.
- Disconnect the installation media and reboot.
- Login using previously selected username and password.
I3M Panel
- Integrated interactive information monitor I3M is a GUI system integrated in the front panel of Airtop
- Download and install the package for Airtop or Airtop2:
# for Airtop2 $ wget http://www.fit-pc2.com/download/airtop/airtop2/airtop-fpsvc_systemd.deb # for Airtop1 $ wget http://www.fit-pc2.com/download/airtop/airtop1/airtop-fpsvc_systemd.deb $ sudo dpkg -i airtop-fpsvc_systemd.deb ... Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-4.15.0-23-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-4.15.0-23-generic Adding boot menu entry for EFI firmware configuration done Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/airtop-fpsvc.service → /lib/systemd/system/airtop-fpsvc.service. Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/gpu-thermald.service → /lib/systemd/system/gpu-thermald.service.
- Note, the package adds "acpi_enforce_resources=lax" string to the kernel boot line
- Reboot the Airtop after installation
- Now you can navigate through menus between multiple screens of the I3M that display system information, temperatures, power consumption and notifications
Intel video acceleration graphic drivers
$ sudo apt update $ sudo apt install mint-meta-codecs i965-va-driver gstreamer1.0-vaapi vainfo
Then run vainfo command, you should see list of supported profiles, for example on Airtop2:
$ vainfo libva info: VA-API version 1.1.0 libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_1 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.1 (libva 2.1.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Kaby Lake - 2.1.0 vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264StereoHigh : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointEncPicture VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVP9Profile2 : VAEntrypointVLD
Nvidia graphics card drivers
$ sudo apt update $ nvidia_driver=$(apt-cache search "nvidia-driver-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" | grep -o "nvidia-driver-[0-9][0-9][0-9]" | sort | tail -1) $ sudo apt install $nvidia_driver vdpauinfo mesa-vdpau-drivers vdpau-va-driver --install-recommends
Then run nvidia-smi command, you should see current NVIDIA card status:
$ watch -n1 nvidia-smi Thu Jul 12 02:31:03 2018 +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | NVIDIA-SMI 390.48 Driver Version: 390.48 | |-------------------------------+----------------------+----------------------+ | GPU Name Persistence-M| Bus-Id Disp.A | Volatile Uncorr.

MPV media player
- Well known free and open-source multimedia player
- Supports GPU accelerated video decoding and gives excellent playback quality
- Compatible with the most popular video formats
$ sudo apt install mpv youtube-dl
For example, Airtop2 with GeForce GTX 1060 is capable to play 4K UHD using CUDA video decoding without significant system load:
$ mpv -fs --hwdec=cuda ~/Videos/jellyfish/jellyfish-140-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv Playing: ~/Videos/jellyfish/jellyfish-140-mbps-4k-uhd-hevc-10bit.mkv (+) Video --vid=1 (*) (hevc 3840x2160 29.970fps) (+) Audio --aid=1 (*) (truehd 6ch 48000Hz) AO: [pulse] 48000Hz 5.1(side) 6ch s32 Using hardware decoding (cuda).
