Ubuntu 24.10 Concept ♥️ Snapdragon X Elite

Thanks for the report. I’ll see if I can make this work out of the box

25.04 is the first release that uses BTI for most libraries and executables, so there will probably be a few related bugs. I’ve hit one, which makes Yelp not work on the 25.04 iso:

My Device Is Asus vivobook s15 s5507qa , I Installed Ubuntu 25.04 and Use qcom-firmware-extract to extract drivers , after reboot my battery still 0% and not detected . kernel of 25.04 is 6.14 , How Can Fix This ?

Hi, are there any updates on Purwa? Been a few months since I’ve checked in.

Found your ISO, good work! I’ll make a discussion thread on your github repo, since the image doesn’t seem to work 100%. Also to be clear, this iso still allows dualbooting yes? Like the ISO won’t just wipe the NVME on its own

Asking since I was immediately prompted for username info before being prompted for partitioning.

Hi all,
I just did a clean install of Ubuntu 25.04 on the Elitebook G1Q and after running qcom-firmware-extract I still don’t have the battery load indication. Anyone observed a similar behavior?
Dmesg shows:

Thanks a lot in advance,

Which dtb did you use to install the Elitebook? I’d expect you had to load one manually since there isn’t an official one for this device yet? The dtb defines the firmware search path so you need to make sure that it picked the right one. You can have a look at /usr/sbin/qcom-firmware-extract, it is a simple shell script and should be easy enough to modify by hand.

Could you run apt-list --installed | grep qcom-x1e-firmware-extracted so see if it worked and installed a firmware package and then dpkg -L $name on the package name it returned to list the files in there?

It will not install to nvme or anything like that. However, for your next try please:

  • ensure secure boot is off, and Windows partition is unencrypted
  • burn the image anew (you won’t get out of the error).

Hi, I’ve reflashed the image and it works! It boots without issues, just runs quite slowly because of my USB’s dismal speeds. Is there any way that I can move the rootfs onto a secondary partition on my NVME drive? That way I can do some longer tests, because the OS doesn’t run at a sluggish pace

Congratulations! Well, now Acer Swift Go 14 is among the working devices :grin: I’m writing up a revised transplantation routine, will be on the discussion thread later in the day.

I had a similar issue. Installing ubuntu-x1e-settings fixed it for me.

I also noticed that though installing ubuntu-x1e-settings also switches the gnome-42-2204 snap to adreno/stable, that version still doesn’t have a new enough Mesa for Firefox to use the GPU for rendering. Though that problem will go away eventually since the Firefox snap seems to be moving to gnome-46-2404.

EDIT: Seems that snap refresh --channel=latest/candidate/core24 firefox fixes the Firefox issue.

Thank you very much for your help. your solution worked for me and my problem is solved.

I’ve had this thread open for many weeks now and now I feel like pulling the trigger to try Ubuntu 25.04 on my Lenovo Slim 7x. I’m not very experienced with linux, so I feel anxious to give this a try. Would it be a good testing path to launch a VM in windows hyper-v and go through an installation from the iso? Will the installer-experience be the same as direct installation on the bare metal?

Thanks for investigating this! Which laptop did you hit this with? The ubuntu-x1e-settings package SHOULD get installed by the installer. Can you also show the contents of /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias which is used to detect if ubuntu-x1e-settings should be installed. Do you maybe remember if you selected the install additional drivers option in the installer?

Thanks for the feedback, to help use get this fixed could you also provide the info I asked for in Ubuntu 24.10 Concept ♥️ Snapdragon X Elite - #877 by tobhe
In particular /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/modalias

I’m pretty sure I had the option to install additional drivers selected, and I did the installation offline since wifi wasn’t working (I remember it did work for the 24.10 concept images…)

I also checked the additional drivers in installation time

Thanks, filed a bug for the issue at Bug #2107692 “[SRU] Asus Vivobook S15 hwe-qcom-x1e-meta modsign...” : Bugs : ubuntu-x1e-settings package : Ubuntu

I recklessly deleted Windows and installed Ubuntu Concept on my ThinkPad. Now I’m back to Windows. After the release of Ubuntu 25.04, I’m wondering what to install — Concept or 25.04? Where will new features appear faster now
