Just wanted to say thanks a lot for this! Really happy to be up-and-running with Ubuntu on my Yoga Slim 7x so quickly. Also really nice to see the community interaction and feedback on here too.

after I clicked try on install ubuntu I received this message:

Attempt interactive netboot from a URL?
yes no (default yes):
How can i fix it? I use Asus Vivobook s15
Try using a USB-C port instead. I think your device might not yet support USB-A.
As tobhe said, USB-A is still not supported for the vivobook, only USB-C for now.
But if you’re already using USB-C and are having the same issue, wait 5-10 seconds after the Ubuntu logo shows up, then unplug the USB and plug it in again. For some reason it doesn’t get detected until you do that.
.37 kernel upgrade gives me very dark backlight that I can’t turn up to be useable. When switching back to .35 boot I get normal control again and it shows backlight was very low set and I can adjust again to normal brightness. So something weird happened there in .37. Dell XPS 13 - OLED.
Just installed the newest build onto my ThinkPad T14s and immediately noticed that neither the trackpad TrackPad works now after reinstall nor the speakers work. I have installed the firmware files - GPU, battery percentage, etc. work fine.
But what I can say after testing everything and even trying Half-Life 2 through FEX is: I’m really impressed that this kind of performance is already possible and I may even try using it when my speakers and trackpad work. But overall great work everyone, it really is amazing seeing Ubuntu run on this little ThinkPad.
Edit: after enabling pipewire and pipewire-pulse using systemctl I get a dummy output but still no audio working

Hello, I have bought a Xiaomi book S and I am waiting to receive it. Would there be a way to disable secure boot? I wanted to try to contribute to all your efforts.

Hello,
First of all, thank you for your efforts to make work Linux Ubuntu on all new SnapDragon X Elite hardwares.
I have bought a Microsoft Surface Copilot, ref ZYT-00032 with below configuration:
I have installed the ISO on a USB Disk Type C throw BallenaEtcher. When I boot on USB, the grub appears and the keyboard is not working. So the laptop restarts again and again.
I hope that you will provide a fix, I am waiting for a version of Linux that is working on my laptop since few weeks. So I wanted to contribute in your efforts with my experience.

I’ve been playing with this on a t14s Gen 6, and the dual-boot install and qcom-firmware-extract worked perfectly. I’m really impressed with the performance and ease of use for such a new release. My only issue is that LVM/LUKS installs throw a black screen after GRUB. If I remove quiet splash, I see the exact same error that bubbleshack screenshotted.
In my case, I’ve dual-booted normally, extracted the firmware, pulled off the .deb, wiped everything, and re-installed with LVM/LUKS. After a couple re-installs, it won’t boot past GRUB. Any ideas?

There is a kernel patch from last week which enables sound support: https://lkml.org/lkml/2024/10/25/1244
This is looking good!

Great stuff! I got linux running on my HP Omnibook X 14!
Windows-on-arm still boots (now via grub), Debian boots, Laptop-Display, Keyboard and Touchpad work. I’m a bit struggling with a missing dependency of “sudo apt install qcom-firmware-extract” due to a missing dependency - but this challenge is already addressed above.
My detailed installation steps (as far as I could document these) are listed here: http://wiki.andreaswarnke.de/index.php?title=X1E-78-100

Should be fixed now, let me know if there are still issues.
Thanks! I think we are close to getting that one working. Your device should be a Surface 7 so you can look here to track our progress.
Hey, great to hear it works. Can you tell me more about the missing dependency? I don’t think I have seen this before or maybe I missed a previous report of the same problem.
Is there a list of things that currently do not work without extracting/installing firmware?
- accelerated graphics
- battery gauge
- sound
- USB type-c orientation switching and dp altmode (not sure, but would expect it to be this way)

Awesome!! Really looking forward to it
Is it possible to get double monitors with the lid closed?
Tested this again on a T14s.
Aside from the intermittent grub issues, it’s looking great. Good job!

After updating I am now also experiencing this and the system is completely unable to boot to Ubuntu 
Is there already a bug report for this?
Update: The fix for me seems to be going into UEFI first and then booting to Ubuntu, for whatever reason that works. Thought the Absolute Persistence Module might have something to do with it but it looks like I was wrong
