Hello,

I would encourage you to review this tutorial article named How to configure Quick Sync accelerated encoding on Linux.

Hello,

We cannot guarantee that the latest kernel is supported, as the latest kernel may not have the correct hooks. At this point, to guarantee support, we suggest that you adhere to the support document with Ubuntu Server version 12.04.
