How To Fix intel-virtual-output: command not found in Ubuntu / Debian / Kali Linux / Raspbian

In Ubuntu intel-virtual-output is provided by xserver-xorg-video-intel package.

This package provides the driver for the Intel i8xx and i9xx family of chipsets, including i810, i815, i830, i845, i855, i865, i915, i945 and i965 series chips.

This package also provides XvMC (XVideo Motion Compensation) drivers for i810/i815 and i9xx and newer chipsets.

This package is built from the X.org xf86-video-intel driver module.
