Linux installation - Cancellation of guarantee? (Y550)

Hi all. I have just a simple question today. Will install Ubuntu on my Ideapad Y550 void the warranty? (Even though I keep Windows 7 top)? Can I send in for repair, and not have to worry about them not being able to fix, because it runs Linux with Windows?

Thanks in advance.

It will not void the warranty.

  • Tecra S3 RAID-0, the Linux installer does not recognize the hard drive

    Hello

    I've been googleling much and the only one I found is a post on this forum: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=8758

    I have the same problem, the RAID controller is not recognized by one of the distributions of linux in circulation, and so the hard drive is not recognized, so the linux installation is not possible. I tried FC7 and SUSE9. Due to the demands of work, I need to install FC7.

    If there is no driver available for linux, it is possible to disable the RAID controller on the laptop? If so, is that someone could put a guide of how do, or send me to a good link on the subject?

    Thank you
    Alex

    You will be very happy if someone with S3 and Linux will write here. Until you wait for the check you must fill the pages of Linux support:
    http://Linux.Toshiba-DME.co.jp/Linux/index.htm

    Maybe you will find some info here.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Linux installation - I can not find the installation script

    I'm trying to follow the LabVIEW for Linux installation guide, but I have a problem. This post will be long, as I will try to tell you what I've done so far. I am also kind again on Linux, so I don't know there are a lot of things I don't know.

    I try to use http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374718a.html#installing

    and http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/375845d.pdf

    First step of the guide is to insert the installation media "' and run

    # sh. / INSTALL

    and it's pretty easy. Or at least it would be if I had no idea where that sh file is. I requested a copy of the installation discs for my University (I install on one of their computers), and they said that while they do not have any what Linux install disks, they were pretty sure "it's here somewhere," whatever that means. This seems to be the extent of their knowledge about linux.

    On this disc is a folder named slcp10 with the content slcp10.cab, slcp10.mis, and slcp200_mft.cab, which are all of the files of windows and as far as I can tell cannot be run under linux, unless I'm using WINE, which is clearly not the way to go.

    I have also some ISOs from the Department of licensing website, but also, no one seems to know anything about installing Linux. After you mount the ISOs, I see that they contain records Bin, Common, Distributions, licenses and Readme (which is full of all kinds of trivial things). They also contain the files academicsitelicense.html, asladminresource.html, autorun.exe, autorun.inf, nisuite.xml, patents.txt, readme_core.html, setup.ede and suite_md5_1.xml, which none do look promising. Again, I know only how to install .exe files using WINE.

    I have since then turned to the internet to try and download directly from OR and went to http://www.ni.com/download-labview/ and selected ' already own LabVIEW? Download the latest version. From there on, I select the drop-down list for alternative OS and select MAC OS x I read somewhere on the help pages OR that it would work on a linux machine (which seems logical, that the MAC is UNIX-based, right?). Well, it gives me a file dmg (apparently some sort of file mac?) I found a way to use Linux by extracting in 7zip and then ride the hfs file. It always seems to be some sort of evaluation program because it contains LabVIEW2014Evaluation.pkg, readme.html (which takes me to the installation of OSX readme-useless), installation_guide.pdf (again, only for MAC and useless for me), drivers.webloc and Extras files and licenses.

    I'm at the end of the roll, man. I feel that I'm taking crazy pills. I've never had so many badly installed a program before in my life, because technically I haven't yet started the process of installing again, and I'm already about to defenestrate from my computer. Please help me. I don't know what else to do, and I don't know there is a very simple solution that I am too ignorant to see.

    Our lab run us windows, and cake installation. After learning Linux over the last months, I never thought I would say this, but in fact, I would like to have a machine windows right now.

    Well, I managed to get installed it, but only because I found another ISO of site licensing department which had linux install files. Curiously, this unique ISO is a bit 3 GB while there are three other ISOs each come at least 7.5 GB. Are there really that many missing packages on Linux?

    Sorry if someone reads this has similar problems, but the best I can do is tell find Linux installation disc.

  • d5200t NE504AV-ABA HP Update Installation cancelled

    Verifying weekly automatic updates of HP software on my d5200t, he offered several updates for the past few weeks that always communicate Installation cancelled if I try to install them - including the update that was supposed to solve the problem of cancelled Installation.  He just offered me seven different updates. I chose only the two that seemed relevant to the problem of HP software updates, since others cannot install the last few times I tried them.  These two also reported canceled Installation.  Really must my computer model the other updates?  If not, is there a way to exclude them from future controls the necessary updates?

    Note - I do NOT get the same list of updates required if I manually start checking the necessary updates. rarely one for this method.

    I'm using 64-bit Vista Home Premium SP1.

    I'll have to wait at least a week to determine if it also corrects the problem of automatic start of the HP Update program

  • Sharing location for catalogue and RPD on a linux installation

    Hello

    I am planning to do evolve horizontally an OBIEE 11.1.1.1.7 install and need to provide a location for the shared catalog and RPD by the Oracle documentation. Currently, the documentation refers to an example of installation of Windows in which you specify a UNC path in the EM console. All the world did this on a Linux installation? I need to set up a system of local files first to point to our NAS share?

    Any help is appreciated.

    Kind regards

    K.A.

    Yes, you need to mount the NAS between your linux servers, so this way you can place the RPD and the catalog and the cache in a path shared by creating folders and copy these files here, and even set in EM.

  • Linux installation (or other OS) will be empty guarantee?

    It is mentioned that Toshiba does Windows support will be instaallation from another OS as Linus will void the warranty?

    Hi Edgar,

    Short No. guarantee covers material for chess (other than accidental damage etc.), while the software is not included, so you have the recovery CD and the tools/utilities.

    Software problems are covered by Toshiba knowledge base and FAQ and also the participants of these tips forum of course.

    You are free to install any operating system you want on your laptop, but keep in mind that Toshiba will only have tested with Windows and therefore all the tools and the utilities that provide Toshiba are not guaranteed to work on other platforms.

  • Tecra S11 - 11G - Linux installation

    Hello

    I got a Tecra S11 11 G and I want to install Linux Mint on it.
    During installation, I get the error that 'acpi CCP probe failed.
    I googled for the last hour and I discovered that it can be connected to the uefi boot mode.
    But my laptop has uefi?
    Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

    Thank you
    Theboda

    You can run Linux Mint live view? If so, start Linux Mint in direct mode and run GParted. In the GParted menu bar, click view , and then click device information. If the partition table is reported as TPG, the hard disk is partitioned probably for UEFI. Another control, you can do is to search a tagged partition ESP. An ESP partition indicates also that UEFI is in use.

  • Click-Mini satellite L9W - B - Linux installation issues

    Hello

    I try to install linux on a toshiba mini-click L9W - B. Since I was able to boot with the USB (UEFI only) I've got trouble finding drivers to be able to use the card Wifi and the keyboard Dock.

    Ony 8.2 debian is able to start with a touchscreen to work but without network...

    Is anyone have positive results in the deployment of linux on toshiba mini-click L9W - B? Any working linux distribution?

    Thank you
    Best regards, Freddy.

    Given that I have no answer, I will publish my own test results here:

    From my own tests with toshiba mini click, you'll be able start vfat usb key with a well formatted starting efi directory and file (/ efi in your USB). BIOS even in version 5.10 can't start legacy.

    8.1 32-bit Windows usb Windows 8.1 build key is able to start on click mini (ntfs file system) and 64-bit Windows usb key build of Windows 8.1 8.1 64-bit does not start on click mini. I suspect, that chat on the forum of the EU of toshiba, toshiba mini click bios to start using 32-bit efi startup plans on efi/boot/bootia32.efi.

    Here's a way to start any distro of linux of your mini click using a usb key with the vfat file system:
    1 - try to boot with a USB stick to gparted (vfat file system)
    2. get the boot efi files / (including a grub.cfg file)
    3. use the directory/boot/efi on the new USB that you create, you have managed to boot linux change efi/boot/grub.cfg.

    Try Manjaro (ArchLinux) distribution, this distribution has the best material of support right here. 15.04 - Ubuntu or Debian - 8.2 may work in some time, always missing drivers in the installation process.

  • Equium P200: realtek ethernet adapter Linux installation error

    I have an old Equium P200 - 1Ed, who started to play up.

    When I try to install Linux, it gives me an error for realtek ethernet adapter and I studied the problem on the forums.

    Apparently, my hard drive is old and decrepit.

    I tried to reinstall Vista from the default Toshiba CD, just out of curiosity, and installed fine, except, seemed unwilling to connect internet.

    Tried Linux, but still the same problem from realtek.

    Apparently I can download the driver bios flash and try to reinstall the bios... it looks like my last hope.

    Anyone know where I can get the bios driver for P200-1ED?

    Updates to the BIOS, you can find on toshiba BIOS support page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp

    To be honest I don't know if the BIOS update will help with the installation of Linux, but you can try it.

    the problem is that Fedora can not communicate with ATI Radeon HD 5145... the installer crashes just straight up
    sometimes crashes when it tries to run anaconda...

    Now F10 X86_64 was installed normally, but after the first reboot... he become crazy... and started posting garbage... going to init 1 and you try to run the GUI I have X Server error.

    Help please

    Have you tried to visit a few Linux forums and the search for solutions?
    As you know Toshiba doesn't support Linux on the laptop model, and you'll be really lucky if someone has the same model of laptop and the same problems of Linux.

    On Linux forums, you can chat with others about installing Linux on different laptops, but with a similar hardware configuration.

  • Satellite L770D - 10 M: Linux installation cut off my warranty?

    Hello
    I bought a Satellite L770D - 10M and I have "a user of linux opensuse
    Can I reformat the hard disk in order to install opensuse without losing the warranty?
    Thank you

    Of course you can do it. You can do with your computer laptop all you want.
    Before installing Linux create recovery disk. One day if you want to still have factory settings use this disk for the installation of Windows operating system.

    If you install Linux without create recovery DVDs, you can do this but follow Toshiba recommendation on the creation of recovery DVDs.

  • Installation cancelled on all my updates - HP dv6000

    I have a Pavilion dv6000 with Vista.  Whenever the HP updates download installation is cancelled.  It's about on the parameters of the box, and I added some software.  Any help or advice on how to get the updates to install would be great.  Link to the screen if the attachment does not work.

    Mitch

    I was having this same problem, but was able to install the updates. I don't know what makes the difference, but I've done two things differently.

    (1) I turned off the Windows Magnifier.

    (2) the cancellation is always produced when updates have been started automatically. I ran the update manually and updates have been installed successfully this time.  (Start, all programs, HP, HP Update)

    I have Notification set up to automatically check the Web for updates.

    I put it to check for updates every week.

    I have a Pavilion model #: a6750t.

    Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1

    Hope this helps.

  • New installation of XP on Y550 - card reader problem

    I pulled the hard drive a Y550 and put in a new drive. Install XP on CD. Went well.

    Tried to update a driver with one of the drivers downloaded from Lenovo.

    "Not enough place to expand on C:" it turns out that XP is recognizing the card reader, assigning "C:" and assign the hard drive "E:" I tried reassigning 'C:' disk hard by following the instructions on the web site of Ms. This has messed up the license key and the system does not start. Check the BIOS to disable the card reader, but didn't see any option to do so.

    I need XP on this system and the hard drive must be "C:" I guess I could implement a system dual boot, installation of XP on the drive to Win 7, but I'd rather not.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Solved the problem by disabling USB in the BIOS then reinstalling XP. Everything now works even if I had to install the version of Win7 a few things in order to make them work. I can not configure Desktop Navigator (version of Win7, XP version does not) but at least it starts is and that's good enough for now.
