Supported devices

  • This guide is valid for Airtop, Airtop2

Prepare installation media

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:
$ product_name=$(cat /sys/class/dmi/id/product_name)
$ wget http://www.fit-pc2.com/download/airtop/$product_name/airtop-fpsvc_systemd.deb
$ sudo dpkg -i airtop-fpsvc_systemd.deb
...
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

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:
