Basically, you need to reduce your current partition, create a new partition, install Ubuntu and then install a boot loader. The procedures above will show you what you need to do. Read through them and if you have any questions, ask away and I'll do my best to explain.

  • Small question wireless - IdeaPad Y730

    Hello. I just recently received my Lenovo Y730, Vista Home Premium x 64, in the past few days and it works perfectly, alternative for a small hiccup. It is more than an inconvenience, but I am wondering how to fix, or what goes wrong in general.

    I have connected to my router wireless very well, but get shut down or restart? When it comes on the next time it seems have unchecked the "automatically connect" box and turn on automatically when I connect. I have re-checked several times and each time it automatically reconnect.

    Any ideas on the problem? Or a solution? I'll try things with the router itself, but it doesn't seem like it's the problem for me. Can be so bad.

    Your computer comes with installed ReadyComm? If so, try to uninstall it and use Vista built in Wireless Manager.

  • My lenovo ideapad p400 windows touch 8 experiences ghosts by clicking.

    From time to time comes Ghost by clicking on the the right side of my screen and when that happens, I want to close my laptop and then Open again and the ghost by clicking on will disappear but recently it didn't, so I decided to disable the touch screen , until I know what to do to fix. I would really like to know if this ghost clicking is caused by a hardware or software failure. and what are the solutions for this problem. Help please and thank you.

     Good day.

    I would really like to know if this ghost clicking is caused by a hardware or software failure.

    IMO it's hardware, but it also suggests a flaw in the software.  For example the calibration tool is supposed to we can help software take aware of this type of material defects and fit for them or not?

    In addition, instead of disable full touch, simply disable the multi touch driver.  Then you can have at least pen support to use it.

    C.f.

  • Cannot open

    I have a new (1 month) IdeaPad P400.

    Thisd morning, it began to run in slow motion (Veery slow start, loading pages, links, etc.) I searched the knowledge base for this and found a post saying to go to safe mode. Obtained in safemode, without change. Sought the tip link, no. Could not find a way to get out of safe mode and I clicked on a link to "freshen up", not knowing that it was 'restore '.

    After about 45 minutes, he began to do the same thing, so I closed the top.

    About 4-5 hours later, I tried to open it, and when the page where you enter your password was, he said that my account has been locked.
    When I entered my password, I got the message that I had to reset my password and must go to account.live.com/password/reset.

    I did it and who took me to the page reset my Live mail account that I don't want to reset. Also, I don't understand how my Live mail account confusion with my laptop that I don't even have this email account activated on this topic - Google is my default email.

    I do not understand why the laptop has all of a sudden to the South, and now I can't use it.

    Does anyone have a solution?

    Tried to reply to your emails, but he came back as undeliverable.
    I discovered the problem. Microsoft updates

  • Question about IO on A2109 IdeaPad Ports

    Hi all:

    In a few months, I'll be getting a compressed IdeaPad A2109.

    I couldn't find manuals for her on the Lenovo site then I came here and found the links I need thanks these posters forum {s}.

    I ran across these links the service manual and was excited because I couldn't find something on all the connections on the tablet.

    And photos that Lenovo has had on their site while good in general did not in anyway help really identify one of the ports.

    I tried to the best of my ability to understand them there, but in any case I digrise...

    I saw in the manual that it says that the Micro usb port has been used for synchronization on your computer and in charge.

    OK I understand that I can plug my usb keyboard Mini for NP because I already found you might also cahrge the Tablet out of your computer by using one of its usb ports.

    And he also says he has a DC JACK?

    I took like ity with a connection for the normal supply of the cahrging of the Micro usb port.

    But still the diagram gives no. Indication of a separate connector?

    My question is this the IdeaPad A2109 there a place separate plug your power CORD 'NORMAL '?

    Or is the Micro usb port used for the 'NORMAL FOOD' of the Tablet as well?

    I really hope that the CC is separated from the Micro usb port so that I can always plug the strange thing it while still hanging at HQ...

    If this isn't the case, could someone tell me how I could use it for both at the same time?

    Also, let me take this opportunity to thank the poster who responded to a thread about where the Micro SD card is gone, or I would have been pulling my hair out trying to find...

    Consider that the SD card size Max is 32 GB?

    Sorry for all the questions, just try to know everything I can before buying my new tablet.

    Some adapters of angles will block the HDMI port. This isn't a problem for most things, but if you plan to keep your device plugged into the power supply, keyboard etc... You will not be able to access the mini HDMI.

  • Hey, question on my new IdeaPad z50-75 (AMD fx-7500) - cpu not no clock to the top

    Hello everyone

    I just got two or three days old Lenovo IdeaPad z50-75, running on the FX-7500 AMD really happy about some things

    Firstly, I noticed just now that my CPU runs at 1.07 Ghz, before it was always more than 2 Ghz or so that was good... but maybe I've touched something somewhere in the settings powr or something and now it stays on 1.07 same when the cpu used well enough. I put the power plan to high performance and also Energy manager is configured using the high performance and Conservation mode is on... What is the holdup? why it is not itself clock upwards? I think it's slower than before... so any reference to what could cause this.

    Grateful for any advice or ideas.

    StonieMalony

    I do not have a similar unit like yours, but try not to use the mode of conservation in conservation mode and see if you now have what you expect.

  • Windows on Ideapad Y510P ExpressCache question - gel Constant 8.1

    Hello

    I recently bought the laptop Y510p and updated to 8.1 windows

    Since the upgrade, I'm telling gel, which could last 10seconds or 10 minutes.

    Any time I restart the computer, it crashes, and the only way to kill him is to press the button works / stop.

    Checked the eventviewer and I found the following disclaimer appearing every minute:

    After much research, I came to the conclusion that the ExpressCache is the cause.

    at the time wherever I've uninstalled it, issues disappeared.

    System will reboot without any problems, it will not be freez.

    Checked the following article:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?docid=HT074404

    Tried to re - install ExpressCache but the problem started to presist immediately, constant freezing and the message above in Event Viewer.

    Everyone knows the same problem? If you did, did you mange to solve?

    Obviously, I'm happy at this stage that frost has disappeared, but at the same time, I really would like to have full use of the system and would like to get it resolved.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello.

    Talked with Support and unfortunately, this seems to be a matter of HW.

    Given that I've owned only the laptop for less than 31 days I received a full refund/replacement code.

    I would say that anyone having the same problem, contact technical support and advises because that is the question to support him rather than S/F.

    Kind regards

  • Lenovo IdeaPad Z710 questions

    Hello. I have a Lenovo IdeaPad z710. The power jack on the laptop was broken and I had to replace it. When I got the laptop back, I turned on it just to make sure that it is displayed. He made and close the lid. Later that day, I tried to power it up to use it and what he would do when you press the power button is battery light flashes. No fans, display, etc. Any idea on what is happening? Advice would be appreicated.

    Thank you!

    I just wanted to know all it ended up being a bad diet. I tested it with a voltmeter and it was supposed to be of 20 v DC. NA not getting anything out of it. The flashing of the battery just said the battery was dead and could not power the laptop. Works fine now. Thank you very much for the help!
