Install Linux On Asus Transformer Tf101 Tablet
GLXGears in tablet mode Unfortunately Linux support right now is quite rudimentary, and installing it requires us to jump through a few hoops. The situation is improving rapidly however. So I will keep updating this How-to as new drivers become available and things improve.. Warning Eventually I expect hardware support for the T100 will be excellent, but we are not there yet. In order to get the best support possible, we will be using bleeding-edge builds and the latest Linux kernels. If you’d just prefer an easy life, come back in October and just install Ubuntu 14.10. That said, this little convertible is a lovely machine, and Ubuntu/unity works very nicely on it — finally Unity has a purpose!
The more people get on for the ride now, the quicker we can test and iron out bugs. *** This post will constantly be updated as in-kernel support improves *** Current status (updated ) I’ll update this whenever I manage to get new things working. I will only add items to the How-to below that are confirmed to work well. • Graphics: Working with accelerated (3D) graphics 7/10 • Wifi: Working, but often drops connection [working on improving this] 6/10 • Touchscreen: Working, with multi-touch out of the box 10/10 • Sound: Working, with patches 8/10 • SD card reader: Working, some configuration needed (thanks akira) 9/10 • Battery monitoring: Working, with patches 8/10 • Tablet keys (Volume up/down etc): Not yet working 0/10 • Power management (Suspend/resume): Not yet working 0/10 • Orientation sensor: Not yet working [currently testing] 0/10 • Backlight & ambient light sensor: Backlight not adjustable. Light sensor works with custom driver 5/10 • Touchpad: Working, no multitouch yet 8/10 • Shutdown / reboot: Working, with patches 9/10 1.

First steps: Preparing for the Ubuntu Install First things first, update using Asus LiveUpdate to the latest “BIOS” available. At the time of writing, that is v304. Do any backing up of Windows / recovery partitions.
I’ll leave the details of that up to you. Before we attempt to boot Linux on the T100, we need to do some preparation, so start in Windows. Download the latest daily AMD64 build of Ubuntu 14.04 from. Mario Party 7 Rom Zip.
Download the USB bootable image creator, and “burn” your downloaded ISO to a spare USB stick. In Rufus, for “Partition scheme and target system type”, choose “GPT partition scheme for UEFI computer”.
For “File System”, choose “FAT32″, and leave the rest at default. At the bottom, check “Create a bootable disk using: ISO Image” and select your downloaded Ubuntu image, then hit “Start”. When your USB stick is ready, close Rufus. It should now be browseable in Windows. Browse to the EFI Boot directory, and place (named bootia32.efi) there. This bootloader was compiled from source using the latest Grub2. If you don’t trust random downloaded files from the Internet (and you shouldn’t), you can find the instructions for building it yourself.
Booting the Live Image Now, insert the USB stick and reboot to the firmware (BIOS). You can do this in Windows by holding shift when pressing “restart”, then touching Troubleshoot → Advanced Options → UEFI Firmware Settings → Restart. Once there, disable SecureBoot, then visit the boot options, and ensure the USB stick is the first in the list. Press F10 to save settings, and after a few seconds you will be in the GRUB bootloader. Before the timeout, immediately hit CTRL-ALT-DEL.
This will reboot the computer again, but this time you will have the laptop’s native resolution (rather than being stuck at 800×600 from the “bios”). In the GRUB menu, highlight “Try Ubuntu”, and press “e” to edit it. In the editing screen, scroll down to the command line options, where it says “quiet splash”.
Hpc Server 2008 Crackers. Delete “splash” and replace it with: video=VGA-1:1368x768e reboot=pci,force Then press F10 to boot. You should get all the way to the Desktop. Installing the distro Click the “Install Ubuntu” desktop icon to install Ubuntu permanently. The partitioning scheme you choose is up to you — but you will need to preserve the EFI partition, so don’t just partition the entire disk for Ubuntu. In addition to the EFI partition, I prefer separate /, /home and /boot mount points; but that is up to you. You could squish down the Windows partition and created the additional partition(s), or just delete the Windows partition altogether if you don’t need it.
