There now seems to be a solution for the sound issue, highlighted above. It is in the link that describes the problem. I want to install Ubuntu on it because it runs Android 4.4.4 and it runs pretty bad and most apps aren’t compatible to this date. I am operating as liveuser@localhost-live, and I am not sure if I am accessing the internal storage. In file manager I can see a device called Anaconda but cannot access it and get the message that /dev/loop1 already mounted or mount point busy. File manager is also showing a 1.9 GB Volume (/run/media/liveuser/disk).

Other note, I had to use safe graphics or the screen would blank & the install would stop, scroll down to the “Troubleshooting” entry in the initial grub menu to get to safe/basic graphics While using the (pre-existing) EFI system partition as your /boot partition is considered a valid choice on many machines, don’t do that on this tablet. It’s only 100 MB and will fill up before your bootloader is properly installed and configured. And since it’s at the start of the disk, it can’t be enlarged unless you completely throw away your Windows volume. You’ll also be asked which disk/partition to install GRUB too — just leave this as the default as it won’t work anyway. We’ll fix that later. Connectivity is provided through micro-USB and Mini-HDMI connections along with WiFi and Bluetooth 4.0. The commonly found Linx 8 driver zip worked on both devices but not before I had removed the Camera and IGD entries in the driver installer config. It seems Linx released an update to the 8 in 2017 and among the updated drivers and bios is a working hm2056 webcam driver - I now have everything working in the latest 20H2 of Win10 on both 7 & 8 tablets.Hi Eli, I have just tried a fresh install of Ubuntu 20.04.3 and I’m afraid I can’t replicate your problem. The screen orientation works correctly for me. It’s possible you could have a faulty unit, did the orientation work correctly on Windows? Hi Ian, I've been messing around with doing this and managed to do this without your tutorial, only found this one when looking into fixing grub XD Typical, i spent 3 days doing what could be done in an hour with this guide XD If you want this to happen automatically when you log in, save both commands to a file (e.g. ~/scripts/rotate), make it executable ( chmod +x ~/scripts/rotate) and add it to your desktop environment’s Startup Applications. I did have a few issues, mainly caused by the tablet only having a single micro USB port so the entire install had to be done on battery, which ran out while the installation process said it was configuring software, but on reboot I was amazed to find Fedora was on there and appears to work I only used to work with old Bios, is UEFI a bit like boot loader in an android phone. Does each OS have its own version UEFI or the UEFI have to be custom made by the hardware manufacture?

I think the keyboard could well be a hardware issue, I often find mine is glitchy as well, usually resolved by removing the tablet from the keyboard and re-inserting it with force! I’m typing from the booted USB of 21.10 :-) I’d chrooted into it, nano /etc/default/grub and in the hope of seeing more boot stuff, commented out Start up the tablet (no need to hold Volume Up any more!), and it should show you GRUB for a few seconds, then start up to the Ubuntu login screen. Hi there, I'm sorry to be reviving teh thread but I just bought a linx 810B with a dead bios flash and I'm in deire need to get my hands on the bios rom. I've searched everywhere but I cant get them, and here the links are dead, can someone help me please?

Very handy, I only just flattened my Linx 7 to do a clean install of windows 8.1 pro and have a few driver issues so these could be a life saver! To enter Boot mode hold together Power + Volume UP button until the LINX logo will show on the screen. I am using 20.04.3, it is really frustrating, I’ve researched the web and as yet not found a solution but I can’t believe it’s that difficult or even uncommon, of course what do I know? :) The bluetooth appears to work but seems flaky. I haven’t spent a lot of time on it but I can’t get it to connect to anything although it does eventually list devices but is much slower than 20.04 at doing this. For those with the screen orientation issue with the 1010L you can edit /usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d/60-sensor.hwdb

Suitable for food and pharmaceutical industries, including clean room and other ‘closed’ environments where solvent fumes cannot vent freely I spoke to support and they said that i needed the original WIN10 build ISO but they no longer have it. To round things off, I then went into Optional Updates and installed the Realtek Bluetooth driver from there. Once installed, Bluetooth started working again—so I believe that’s now a fully functional tablet on the latest Windows 10! It’s strange that the 20.04.3 install doesn’t set up grub properly, that’s normally been the most reliable version! Try press and hold on both power button and volume up button to enter UEFI setup menu so you can boot Windows 10 from USB created by media creation tool.

i have just formatted my linx8 with pro 8.1, and the drivers you provided this helped a lot thanks.
