Linx 1010 10.1-Inch Tablet - Black (Intel Atom Z3735F 1.33 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB Storage, WLAN, Bluetooth, Camera, Windows 10) (Renewed)

Product Information

Still, small niggles aside, the Linx 10 is a well-designed – but not particularly inspired – budget tablet. Specifications If you’re having to run that script on 20.04.3 anyway I’d try using 22.04 instead. Everything works out of the box (apart from the cameras and needing to run that script to install grub32). Sound is flaky though hence I suggest your try it rather than giving you a hard recommendation ;)

Install the 32-bit version of grub by executing the following from a terminal: sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32 grub-efi-ia32-binWhen I selected not to continue I got an option to report the bug to Fedora, which I did. I also was able to see and copy the installation log file as below. Whether you dual-boot with Windows or wipe out Windows completely and just use Linux is up to you. Linux is now suitable for daily use on this tablet, so I’ve wiped off Windows completely. If you’re not sure, you can dual-boot for a while—but note that if you have two operating systems on the tablet, both operating systems will be very limited in the amount of space available to them.

I’m typing from the booted USB of 21.10 :-) I’d chrooted into it, nano /etc/default/grub and in the hope of seeing more boot stuff, commented out Do you know which part of the install it got to when you received these errors (for either operating system)? Other note, I had to use safe graphics or the screen would blank & the install would stop, scroll down to the “Troubleshooting” entry in the initial grub menu to get to safe/basic graphics If you’re using a non-standard setup, some of the following sections might provide some useful information and code to fix problems you may have. From here on, we assume a reasonable level of knowledge with Linux, disk partitioning etc. Screen Rotation

Linx 10 - Technical Overview

Two main builds of Chrome/Chromium OS exist for installation on generic PCs – ChromeOS Flex and Arnold the Bat. Auto-rotate screen was working in the installer, but not here in the installed system. That may be due to my setting rotate in grub. If you aren’t using GNOME or KDE, it’s a good idea to run “Onboard” (an on-screen keyboard) and configure it to your liking. (You may also prefer it to the GNOME on-screen keyboard anyway!) The following settings make it behave a lot like the Windows keyboard:

The Fedora installer is reasonably easy to use. Firstly it will prompt you to select your keyboard layout; after that it will present the “Installation Summary” menu. Set the root partition on the disk used by Linux. This example is *only* # correct for Ubuntu with standard install options and no dual-boot! On # Fedora for example, this should be /dev/mmcblk1p3 root =/dev/mmcblk1p2 It’s worth saying that during my test there was a part where I lost connection to the Internet but I believe this is more related to BT Openzone that I was using during these tests.

Restart the tablet without the Live USB inserted, and hopefully you get into your proper installed OS. Manually Install 32-bit Grub (Without chroot) These are more recent releases of Ubuntu than the recommended version, 20.04.3. However, they seem to have a regression in terms of their support for Bay Trail tablets in the installer, and they does not correctly set up 32-bit EFI and grub. If you install from an Ubuntu 20.10, 21.04 or 21.10 image or even the updated .4 release of the 20.04 LTS, you will likely find that you will boot to a grub rescue prompt and can’t get into your new installation.
