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

During the partitioning yes indeed it was set to dev/mmcblk1 and now running the install again on the partitions I can see /dev/mmcblk1p1 as efi and mmcblkp2 as ex4 with ubuntu on it. Hello Ian, I chose to erase disk and install the ubuntu on the installation but after everything is complete when I turn on the linx 1010 i get that blue screen from windows saying Recovery —- Your PC/Device needs to be repaired. Perhaps not quite ready for daily use, but functioning quite well. Battery management needs work, and I’m getting occasional WiFi problems. They may be related to power-saving with tlp. When the GUI appears, press once on the workspace, then press the “Install to Hard Drive” button. The initial window will disappear, but just wait—the installer will appear after a minute or so. Installing Fedora

If you have installed a version of Linux (such as Ubuntu 20.10, 21.04 or 21.04) which installs a 64-bit grub despite the 32-bit EFI and thus doesn’t boot, you may be able to make your installation bootable by following this procedure, provided by Damien in the comments. It may also work for very old versions (pre-18.04) where grub installation fails; if not, see the next section.

I did however find an Ubuntu 21.04 PPA for Gnome 40, which I installed following these instructions. The result isn’t perfect—as you can see in this picture there are some strange visual artifacts when using the new Activities view—but I’m not sure that’s specific to the Linx tablet, more likely it’s just due to the software not being fully supported on Ubuntu yet. Touch screen, rotation etc. work fine. Instead I’ve opted for the Novatech Universal Bluetooth keyboard with touch pad which I have say works very well indeed. I’ve followed this to the letter on Ubuntu 20.04.1 and it’s worked! I’m 99% sure I would have put the bootia32.efi file in when I tried previously. I tried it so many times so many different ways, I just can’t believe I would have omitted it so many times. I ran into problems with screen rotation - landscape was fine, but portrait was inverted. It appears that the accelerometer used on the device is from some sensor supplier in China called MiraMEMS. The drivers seem to be common to some other sensors, but there wasn’t any mapping for these in the system hardware database. I’ve submitted a PR which has been merged, so assuming that arrives downstream, everyone will get a fix eventually. With a full-size USB port, the Linx 10V32 lets you connect all your external devices wihtout the need for additional hubs or cables. Whether you need files from your external HDD, prefer to use a mouse when working, or just want to plug in your Windows Xbox controller for a better gaming experience, the Linx 10V32 lets you work and play the way you want to.

Connectivity is provided through micro-USB and Mini-HDMI connections along with WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0.Thanks for all the useful info. I got a 1010L cheaply a while ago as the windows 10 updates wouldnt fit on the smaller 16gb storage. Ive managed to use it quite well with xubuntu apart from one thing that has never worked: Shutting down! 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

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 have also tried Cinnamon, MATE and XFCE on the tablet. These are generally less demanding and therefore faster and more responsive than GNOME or KDE. However, they also don’t fully cater for tablets in the way that the bigger desktop environments. For example, when I last tested them, none of the three support automatic rotation of the screen based on the accelerometer, or automatic rotation of touch inputs. That means you’ll have to set your screen rotation to landscape manually if you want to use it in that orientation, and if you want to use the touchscreen in landscape orientation, you’ll need to rotate it using the command-line scripts shown here. No other errors displayed... but it doesn't work on reboot, going straight to windows boot loader instead. Have you any suggestions? My Linx 1010b Tablet only boots to bios screen even when I try to boot from USB POWER + Vol Up, it recognise the USB, and the software, but it just won't boot from it. I a so called bootable USB that I got from Linx. But NOTHING. It still works, charges up but not past the six box BIOS screen. HELP ME Please!!!!! Note: I believe this should be the right kernel version that gets installed with Ubuntu 15.10. If it doesn’t boot at all, when you try to boot from GRUB in a moment, press C and enter the linux and initrd commands yourself, using tab completion to find the right versions.I've also previously recommended Rufus for use with Fedora images, due to issues with Fedora Media Writer. As of December 2022 (Fedora Workstation 37), Fedora Media Writer seems to have improved in reliability, so I now recommend it as it's easier to use than Rufus. I can't seem to get past a message saying 'Preparing Automatic Repair', 'Diagnosing your PC' and 'Automatic Repair'..It goes to repeat this whatever I do. Ian, thanks for a really comprehensive and accurate guide. I get all the way to the last step - installing the boot loader. I got on error running update-grub saying that GRUB_TIMEOUT can't be set if GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT is also set. So I commented out the latter. You’ll also be asked which disk/partition to install GRUB too — just leave this as the default as it won’t work anyway. We’ll fix that later.
