The UX305 is an ultrabook that can run Linux (google for discussion). So I bought a couple when the Canadian Microsoft Store had a great Boxing Day sale.
(Boxing Day in Canada and the rest of the Commonwealth is a sale day like the US Black Friday. It is the day after Christmas.) It turns out that the UX305C (or UX305CA -- both names are used to describe this notebook) has a newer processor (Skylake) than the other writeups have covered. This newer processor and support chip cause some problems. I was able to install Fedora 23 on it, but there were several issues. All serious problems went away when I installed the Rawhide kernel after installing Fedora 23. While installing, the trackpad won't work. So you should use an external mouse for the installation procedure. I found that my USB / ethernet dongle would not work during installation. Wireless did work. After installation and applying all updates, I followed this to install the Rawhide kernel: <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RawhideKernelNodebug> You need to turn off Secure Boot to boot the Rawhide kernel. Here are relevant bugzilla entries: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1281990> <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1292615> Even after this fix, the airplane mode light (in the keycap) is on but I'm not in airplane mode. I haven't tried other Fn-* key combinations: I assume that they are not working. I haven't tried to fix them. Others have gotten Arch Linux, debian, and Ubuntu working on the UX305C. All due to the work described in bz 1281990. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
