After looking for quite a while for suitable Ultrabook to run Linux, I decided to go with Asus UX305CA. My first attempt included installing latest Fedora (24), however, this was not without problems.
The following issues were encountered so far: 1. LIVE USB: - Booting from Live USB works fine, except the touchpad did not work. - Workaround: if I connected USB mouse before booting to live USB, then *both* USB mouse and touchpad did work 2. Default F24 WS (immediately after installation) - touchpad started working also without mouse 3. F24 WS with the latest updates as of 2016-07-10 (and with Kernel 4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64 #1 SMP): Issue 1: Fedora boot hangs (only power off helps) after selecting kernel 4.6 from grub, producing only a blank screen. Something to do with graphics mode switching? - Workaround: hit ESC a few times immediately after choosing kernel 4.6 from grub => screen changes to text mode and shows '^[' => LUKS (graphical) password prompt appears after a while => after entering password the boot continues as usual working just fine. - Note: tested entering password into the blank screen (i.e. without hitting esc) several times, in case the luks password prompt was there and not displayed, but the boot would not continue Issue 2: Fedora FN+F5/F6 (brightness keys) did not work. - Fix: edit grub default configuration + install & enable acpid -- edit /etc/default/grub and append acpi_osi= at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUsudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfgX_DEFAULT (as in http://askubuntu.com/questions/471847/brightness-fn-key-shortcut-doesnt-work-on-asus-laptop) -- update grub (sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg) -- reboot -- install and enable acpid -- sudo dnf install acpid -- sudo systemctl start acpid -- sudo systemctl enable acpid -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
