Linux on satellite U920T

Hello

I am considering the purchase of a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite U920t). Does anyone know, if it is consistent with recent distributions of linux (Ubuntu-based)? Is it possible to find the detailed material (model wifi, BT model,...), which can help to decide?

Thanks for all info

Hello

I am writing this reply on a U920T-109 under Ubuntu 64 bit 14.04.
I had an EFI problem that looks like other models - Ubuntu bootable EFI-binary do not find after successful installation.
It's all in fact easily solved by copying the native binary file & folder more generically called those.
Question is can be avoided by setting the boot to the CSM mode if you want to stay on the easy way :) But do it BEFORE installation to avoid confusion between the error message during startup.

One of the above is complete, the device starts and works fine in Ubuntu 14.04.

Webcam WLAN, Bluetooth, touch screen, mouse works fine.
Keyboard shortcuts work in part.
Brightness not possible to order in a standard installation, but should be possible to operate by use of a boot argument (acpi_backlight = vendor).

Overall, I see no reason why you make a U920T a great Linux-PC.

See the output of lsusb and lspci below. Please keep in mind that no matter what U920T you watch may slightly differ in specifications and features!

  • Satellite U920T - touchscreen disabled when viewing is slipped on

    Hi Forum,

    I'm new here and I have a problem that I can't solve by myself, to ask for help.
    I use a Toschiba Satellite U920T-100 for more than a year.

    For about 1 week, once I have drag to the top of the screen to access the keyboard, the touch screen no longer works. When folded (hidden keyboard) touch screen works.
    I downloaded most of the drivers, re-istalled, even made a "go back" to cancel the update of Windows... etc.

    Try to change the settings for the touch screen under control panel, I get the message 'settings touch - and pen are not available. Contact the manufacturer of the pc (error = 0).

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Donkey more, but can not be connected to the problem above: in the Device Manager, entry "INTEL WiUSB" shows a yellow exclamation point.

    Would be great if someone could help me. Thank you!

    See you soon

    This theme on the Satellite U920T touch screen problem has already been discussed in this forum.

    If the reset did not help you, there must be some kind of hardware problem (some types of losing the connection)

    Probably the cable isn't connected properly all backstage display.

    I think it s a job for an engineer of the laptop.

    some details on my laptop:

    Windows 8.1 updated 64-bit.

    Thank you

    Since you mentioned different problems with your laptop, I think that in this case its recommended to get the laptop back to factory settings just to check if all these problems are related to the problem of system.

    Regarding the webcam: Windows 8/8.1 already contains the webcam drivers and therefore additional webcam driver installation isn t possible. Extra webcam driver is not simply.

    From my point of few smells of any description as a bit of a problem of material, the upper part of the slide where the touch screen is part of.
    The key win as well that the two cams are located and there are probably some lose the connection between the two parties (touchscreen and keyboard)

    Anyway, as I said more top, its recommended to recover the laptop to factory settings just to make sure that the system isn t the troublemaker.
    In case of hardware problems, you must get in touch service available in your country.

  • Satellite U920T: Change internal SSD 128 GB to 500 GB of SSD drive

    The internal drive SSD 128 GB of my Toshiba Satellite U920T-101 is to small.
    How can I change the internal SSD 128 GB a new 500 GB SSD drive.
    Is there a manual to change SSD?

    Thank you very much.

    Because of the design specific SSD should be upgraded to authorized service. To have full access to build SSD almost the entire machine must be dismantled, so I recommend you to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and seek advice and they can help you with this.

  • A few problems with the Satellite U920T-100

    Hi guys,.

    my girlfriend ordered a Toshiba Satellite U920T-100 about three months ago and she had problems with it since. We're not quite sure what causes because they seem to happen randomly.

    The questions are:
    -It starts, but it freezes at the Win8 connection with a blue screen (a rather hot blue, no blue screen of death)
    -It starts not at all, only after a few attempts
    -It will not stop
    -It freezes all by organizing files (for example copy of files from A to B, but not yet large amounts of files)

    New: these questions seem to be completely appearing randomly, I wasn't able to reproduce them in any way.

    Also: WLAN connectivity is really bad.
    The laptop is not able to find networks, while my laptop has no problem with it.
    And when he finds them and connect, the connection be lost - once again: no idea why.

    That surprises me the most, because in tests and comments that I've read that connectivity has been praised everywhere.

    I have reset factory?
    Run through some specific tests?
    Or is is hopeless, because there are so many problems with it?

    I'd appreciate your help!

    Hello

    > I should factory reset it?

    I think you should do that because the issue described can be related to system problems, but also hardware problem (HARD drive for example). The resumption of the factory allows you to check if its software or hardware related problem.

    Usually, all the problems of software (System) could be solved by the recovery process. Hardware problems would continue.

    From my point of view, the recovery of the system is the first step, you should try to solve the problem.
    In case this is not enough, a hardware problem (RAM or HARD disk) is possible, and given that the laptop is still under warranty, I recommend you contact the service to check the unit.

    Hope my advice might help you a bit

    I know the 920T-100 have NFC opportunities... but I can't install the drivers from the support page.

    During the attempt, authorize the change appears, Yes, and then nothing happens.
    I unpacked the package with 7zip and started the installation program, it checks the system and its all is ok and it ends with a warning there was a script error.

    I tried find the software Intel NFC SDK, but impossible to find.

    Any help for me?

    > as I know the 920T-100 NFC opportunities...
    I found the details on the Satellite U920T-100 and specifications page (it s in German but can be translated) and the NFC is not listed there.

    http://www.Toshiba.de/laptops/satellite/u920t/satellite-u920t-100/

    NFC (near field communication) is provided with certain models of U920T (for example U920T-117), but it looks like its not available for Satellite U920T-100.

    is it a good idea for it?

    Best regards

    All these questions different so let's start with first.

    > simple I can install windows 8 Professional on the current installation?

    Read this FAQ from Toshiba document. It provides all the answers and a detailed instruction.
    [How to change Windows 8 for Windows 8 Pro | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD2B03F20002R01.htm]

    > what driver, software installed and other toshiba?
    Windows 8 uses the same drivers as Pro

    > What about the view when I run the u920t with an external monitor?
    What do you mean exactly? You can use internal display, external display or both at the same time

    > I want to buy the Toshiba PA3927E - 1PRP Dynadock U3
    > which is a good idea for that?

    Why not. Dynadock U3 supports own GPU so you can use 3 monitors at the same time

  • Can I install Linux in Satellite M200?

    Hi all

    I want to install Linux in Satellite M200, but I don't know it's the driver in charge or not, please give me advice.

    Thank you
    Nhanntit

    Of course, you can install Linux on the Toshiba laptop.
    BUT you won't find any driver Toshiba or tools for the Linux operating system.

    Toshiba does not support official Linux and that's why the pilots are not released.
    You will need to use the Linux drivers from chipmaker like Intel IE

    A hint; I use the Knoppix Live CD I n t need to install anything. I boot from this CD and the functional complete using Linux ca ;)

  • Satellite U920T - need help to turn on the WiFi

    Hello!

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite U920T.
    My OS is Windows 8.1 x 64 with all updates.
    There is a challenge with wireless which started after I put in place a flight on charm bar Mode and back fired.

    When I disabled the flight Mode, the switch wireless of charm bar is remained handicapped as shown on the screenshot (sorry, all the screenshots are in Russian, but if something is not clear I'm ready to explain)
    http://bit.LY/12HGayL
    The adapter in Device Manager is Normal
    http://bit.LY/1Gd2ygA
    It is the latest version of the driver installed
    http://bit.LY/1Itn4NO
    The Windows Network Diagnostics Wizard detects that the wireless is turned off.
    http://bit.LY/1w84plz
    When I try to enable wireless using the utility of the farm, he pointed out that I should turn the WiFi hardware button
    http://bit.LY/1ItncNd
    But my laptop is not any material for the WiFi button. Only hokey, but it comes to establish a flight Mode.

    Need your help.

    Sincerely,
    Vadim

    Guess, what, I think that there is a problem between the driver and the system and consequently the system reports that the WiFi network is DISABLED.

    I recommend you to uninstall the Intel Wlan Device Manager driver.
    Then, you must restart the laptop.
    Please perform a complete shutdown (no hybrid closed, standby, etc.)

    After the new reboot, install the Wlan driver and reboot once more.
    It would be really interesting to know if you can activate the WLan after this short driver installation procedure.

  • Satellite U920T - touch screen does not

    The touch screen on my U920T satellite does not work from a few days back.
    I can't find all the settings for touch or any (except the touchpad) touchscreen device in Device Manager.

    I'm not sure exaclty when he started to malfunction.
    I installed the 8.1 Windows a few months ago and had a problem with the card wireless at the beginning, but the problem with the touch screen just appeard this week.

    What driver Toshiba control the touch screen?
    Is it a hardware problem or software?

    Hello

    To be honest there is no special driver to control the touch screen.
    The driver is provided by the Windows System.

    I think you should get the laptop back to factory settings but I fear that this will not solve the problem of Mr. smells like a hardware problem because I found some threads here in this forum about the dysfunction of the touch screen and especially the problem could be solved by service agents.

    By the way: before you run the recovery process try to configure the stylus and touch screen.
    Go to the control panel (Windows key + X-> Control Panel)-> Tablet PC setting.
    The first display tab contains options such as configure screen stylus and touchscreen.
    Here, you should be able to start the installation program and identify the touchscreen.
    The first option must contain 1 internal LCD
    At the bottom, you might find button to calibrate and reset the settings for the internal LCD.

  • Satellite U920T - function keys does not work after update to Win 10

    Hello, good morning / evening...

    I use (U920T satellite) and recently updated my Windows 10 Tablet
    but after that, the function keys, volume, brightness, key FN and even the backlight does not work anymore!

    I tried to restore the system and update the driver software but nothing has worked...

    I use these keyboard shortcuts all the time and now it's really hard without them!

    What is the problem? What should I do?

    The problem is that U920T satellite is not listed as Win 10 support unit and, therefore, drivers earn 10 Toshiba and software that controls the FN keys is not released.
    But as far as I know using the FN keys, system of Toshiba and the Support of Flash Card Utility driver must be installed.

    For all Toshiba units win 10 supported, the drivers can be downloaded from this page:
    http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

    Maybe you can try the drivers released for other models of portable Win 10 supported...
    I'm not sure if the software will be compatible with your model of U920T, but its certainly worth a try...
