Hi @rhythm16 ,
@tobhe has promptly fixed the image, I did a clean install with ISO from 20250703, worked like a charm. Did you download the latest image? There is also no need to disable bitlocker, as 25.04 Ubuntu allows to install next to encrypted volume directly from the installer. You only want to have decryption key to be able to run qcom-firmware-extract on the windows partition, though even that is not needed as you can do something like this (saves time for updates as no need to go to windows, update, go to Ubuntu, update).
@david8271 no hoops in windows are needed, you can press ESC (Asus) / F12 (Dell) during reboot, and one-time-boot-selector menu will appear, you can select USB stick from there.
RE qcom-firmware-extract: its indeed not supposed to be installed by default, and you should get it manually.
RE networking: x1 variant has ath11k WLAN module with boards file that isn’t upstream, I document a solution here.
RE audio: on Zenbook A14 its actually very usable. You would need to additionally follow these steps, and depending on kernel version recompile your own with patches from the repo to enable sound subsystem.
Overall, im daily driving Zenbook A14 with a great success. Known issues:
- HDMI not working (WIP, there seems to be a better solution to mine, but I did not test it yet)
- Camera requires patches from my repo and a number of CAMSS patches for x1e in general, which is why I did not upstream device-tree bits for it yet
- As per latest report, brightness control on LCD / non-OLED variant of X1-26-100 (UX3407QA) did not work, successfully tested solution is available here. I will be submitting it upstream and to Ubuntu’s kernel once get additional confirmation from the user.
