Install Windows 7 And Ubuntu Dual Boot' title='Install Windows 7 And Ubuntu Dual Boot' />If you dont trust random downloaded files from the Internet and you shouldnt, you can find the instructions for building it yourself here. Booting the Live Image. As before, ensure Secure. Boot is disabled and boot to the USB stick see the old post for detailed instructions if you dont know how. You can jump straight to Install Ubuntu once the Grub menu pops up no need to edit anything any more. The Ubuntu installer. In the installer, the partitioning scheme you choose is up to you but you will need to preserve the EFI partition, so dont 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 create the additional partitions, or just delete the Windows partition altogether if you dont need it. Its up to you if you want to blow away Windows or not. The installer might fail when installing the bootloader. That doesnt matter even if it didnt fail, it wouldnt work. When the installer completes, reboot, leaving the USB stick in. First boot. Ubuntu wont boot yet. Well need to install the bootloader properly. So well have to manually bootstrap Ubuntu the first time. Boot back to the Grub welcome screen on the USB stick. Hit c to drop to a Grub command line. Youll need to provide Grub with the path to your kernel and initrd to boot. These are both in your boot directory. First, the path to the kernel linux hd. Here, hd. 2, gpt. Partition numbering begins at 1 and disk numbering begins at 0. This will vary depending on how you installed and your T1. On my 3. 2GB model, Grub assigns the USB stick as hd. Fortunately, grub has good auto completion features, so you can hit twice as you type, and grub will list possible completions for you just keep trying until you see the various vmlinuz kernels. The rootdevmmcblk. It will be your root partition. Unfortunately this cant be auto completed, so if you cant remember your partition setup, youll need to try by trial and error. Only the number after the p will change and it will probably be p. To complete the line, press Enter. The Thanos Imperative. Then you need to specify the location of your initrd. This is easy, its in the same place as the kernel initrd hd. Then Enter. Then boot with boot. With luck after hitting Enter, youll boot through to Ubuntu. If it boots but you get dropped to a Busybox prompt, you got everything correct apart from the root location. Dont be disheartened keep trying. Enabling wifi To get further, well need wifi. This is much, much easier than before the driver is included with stock Ubuntu. We just need to copy across an nvram file from our firmware to the driver firmware, so open a terminal and type replace XXXXXX with the real name just press tab to autocomplete sudo cp sysfirmwareefiefivarsnvram XXXXXX libfirmwarebrcmbrcmfmac. Just a year ago we were custom compiling whole kernels just to get those efivars mounted, how times have changedThen reload the brcmfmac driver sudo modprobe r brcmfmacsudo modprobe brcmfmac. And your wifi should come up. Completing the installation. Time to fix the bootloader. To do this, we can just install grub efi ia. We need to add a line to the kernel boot options to prevent disk corruption. Edit the grub configuration file sudo nano etcdefaultgrub. Find the line starting GRUBCMDLINELINUXDEFAULT and add intelidle. Then ctrl o, ctrl x to save exit, and type sudo update grub to update Grub. Remove the USB stick and reboot, and you should now have a self sufficient booting system. Sound. I killed my speakers playing with early sound drivers fortunately I replaced them with speakers that came along when I had to replace a broken touch screen. Things are much better now though. The driver is already loaded and working in stock ubuntu, we just need to load an Alsa state file Grab the file here, and copy it to varlibalsaasound. Load the state file into alsa with sudo alsactl restore. Sound should start working. Upgrading to a newer kernel. To get backlight, hotkeys, tablet keys, etc working, well need a newer, patched kernel. I havent played too much with the latest kernels yet, but there seem to be a few regressions. I found the this, compiled kernel to be the best available. The usual warnings apply about trusting stuff other people have compiled. Download the amd. Other scripts. I have made andor borrowed some additional support scripts to improve usability. Download and save all the raw files somewhere I put mine in scripts. Set them all to be executable chmod ugox scripts. Onboard on screen keyboard when you undockdock the tablet. Set up the onscreen keyboard first in System Settings Accessibility or type onboard in the terminal, and set it to automatically run on system start, then the scripts will enabledisable they keyboard for text fields. A nice notification is also displayed when the dock status is changed. Add it to your users startup scripts type Startup Applications in the dash so it runs on login. Dont add it to etcrc. Kirill Belyaev auto rotates the screentouchscreen. Again, add it to Startup Applications NOT etcrc. Ensure the light sensor driver is loaded sudo modprobe cm. Test it by shining a torch on the light sensor. And thats it by this point, you should have a fairly workable installation, provided you avoid using suspend and hibernation, and dont need to use the webcam.
