Satellite L50-B-192 with Linux, no compatibility issues?

Hello world

I would buy a new PC, almostly Toshiba Satellite L50-B-192.
In fact, I heard that a lot of people found that it is difficult to install linux, and many could she!, any body have had such an experience?
Would you recommend buy me this model. I'll use for some applications, graphics, programming and development.
Any advice will be highly appreciated.

Hello

I think that you will have a good experience in running a late version of Linux on this model. Just trying to get a 4 core...
The biggest problem I've seen with L50 - B, it's that the maps non - Intel WLAN don't work under Linux yet.
But your model appear to have an Intel WIFI card, so you should be fine.
If you download and install the kernel 4.1 I think even shortcut keys can behave very well.

  • Satellite L50 - Has 1 9 - replacement keyboard compatibility

    My laptop keyboard is broken and I have some difficulties to find a keyboard for the specific model.

    Is there anyone who can tell me other toshiba models that use the same keyboard? Also, can I install a backlit keyboard as in the series s50 (I noticed that there is a connector on my C50 to the source of energy of backlit) even if she had not done this way in the first place.

    Thank you!

    Hi d3mon3l

    The compatible keyboard can be ordered from local Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider)
    But also other keyboards that meet the same requirements of equipment would be compatible.

    It seems to be a common A4 + 10key black standard tile (layout of Toshiba key Standard A4 + 10key type) with a height of keyboard key 4.15 mm and 1.5 mm STROKE.

    I guess you could find this keyboard in internet provided by different computer online dealers.

  • Programs with Watchtower Library compatibility issues

    I have a 2009 Watchtower Library CD-Rom, and I am constantly having to reinstall the cd-rom.  I have a laptop Dell 1545, w / both McAffe and Dell PC tune-up; It is on W7.   She will work for a few minutes to a few hours and then I get an error message: "unable to access Watchtower Library Systems.  Please try to reinstall.  Then I have to uninstall and reinstall, and the whole situation starts all over.   If I leave the program open, I'll be able to access the Conference of disarmament-content KR, but once I have the close then the above error message appears.  Please can / will anyone please help me?  Oh, by the way, I tried to troubleshoot compatibility (several times), but to no avail. Besides, I had also shut down my system of protection Firewall (McAffee) during installation of the CD-Rom; It does not either.   Thanks in advance for any help.

    There are 2 options with this program. One allows to keep the library on the cd (which resembles the option you use). The other allows to load the data on the hard drive - it's the best and fastest option. It should also eliminate your problem.

    I have a dell 1647 and direct this since we got it without problem. Note: I use the library to load to the hard drive option. Let us know how it works.

  • Satellite L50-A-160 does not start after the Bios Update

    Hi, first of all, this is first post.

    I have 2 satellite L50-A-160 with bios 1.1

    Problem: seems to go to sleep after a few minutes, even working on them (even with both)

    So, I found an updated version 1.9, downloaded and running on one of the laptops. the biosupdate tool found matching the BIOS and a race.
    In the middle of flashing, he fell asleep. turned on and not start. What can I do? Recovery options? I guess the same thing will happen with the other too...

    What is the problem with these computers?

    Besides; very poor battery, always shows 0% available and not charging...
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Best regards
    -always in the hope.
    GT

    Have you tried to change in Power Options?

    See screenshot and try to change the ones I marked (it can refresh the settings, just change the values) and see if this solves the problem.

    and for the other laptop with no boot, a laptop sleep by updating the bios will surely mess it.

    what I don't understand is why your sleep laptop BIOS update, as far as I know the sleep settings is active then on windows (since this is controlled by windows)
    He does not sleep while in the BIOS you leave 1 year, sleep settings active only after loading windows.

    have you tried to check the time of processor for your laptop? Maybe its overheating causing auto-off

  • Toggle function key / FN permanent Satellite L50-C-20W - win 10

    Hello

    I recently bought a Satellite L50-C-20W with Windows 10. The default behavior of the function keys is functions like volume, toggle WiFi, etc.. \
    To use F1, F2 etc we need to press the FN key. Very annoying when not used. Display dimming always when I want to change the field (F2).

    How to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance.
    Theo

    Hi Theo,.
    beginning of > applications > TOSHIBA > system settings.
    Select [function keys], here you will find the options [SPECIAL KEY MODE] and [KEY NORMAL MODE].
    With NORMAL MODE KEY (F1 - F12), normal F1... F12 features are turned on without pressing the [FN] key first.

    Pls don't mind if the appellation of the options is a little different, I translated, because I have an installation of the German system.

    I hope I could help, Dieter

  • Satellite L50 - A - 16 G - how to upgrade RAM?

  • SATA on Satellite L50-B-1NL speed

    I would like to replace the 1 TB of HARD drive on my Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NL with an SSD. How fast is the SATA interface?

    It will use most of the SATA 3?
    Thank you

    I think that the laptop supports the HM86 Chipset Mobile Intel as well as Intel Core i3 4005U processor
    Could you confirm this?

    According to the Intel ARK page, the chipset supports 4-port SATA 6 Gb/s (SATA 3).
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/75531

    I think that the HARD disk controller should support the SATA 3
    Anyway, you can check this by using a tool like Sisoft SANDRA or Everest Home Edition freeware

  • My Satellite L50-B-1V9 is unbootable

    Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1V9 with Windows 8.1.

    A few days ago, I noticed that the dvd player does not recognize the disks I put in.

    This morning, I restarted windows. and since my laptop is stuck in an infinite loop apparently doesn't have auto repair.

    Please? Can anyone help?

    Hello

    Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. You will find the recovery option.

    Use this option to display the menu options of recovery and repair Windows 8. Try again with the restoration of the system (advanced options). Maybe this will help.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 1 K 1 - touchpad Linux mint

    I have a Toshiba satellite L50 B 1 k 1, after I installed Linux mint and I can't do the touchpad works, I need to use an external mouse
    Ι tried to press FN + f5 key in order to activate the touchpad, but unfortunately it is combination drives to the DISPLAY mode where normally should come out with the key FN + f4 , any ideas?

    When I go to the control panel mouse and pad touch I can see the external mouse and SynPS/2 Synaptics touchpad recognized by the system... both are enabled, but the touchpad does not work

    Problem, it's that Toshiba does not support Linux so you will not be able to find lots of information about Linux on Toshiba laptops.

    Try to check some Linux forum. You may be able to get a useful tip to other Linux users.

  • Satellite L50-B-166: Webcam + microphone does not work under Linux

    Hello

    I'm under Linux Slackware 14.1 with kernel 4.11 on a Satellite L50-B-166.

    Webcam and microphone are not detected by the system, and I can't find the firmware and the module for them.

    Can someone help me?

    Hello

    I get the Webcam work properly in Fedora 22 core 4.0.6 (Incidentally, kernel 4.11 does not yet exist, so what kernel do you use )
    I suggest therefore that you check the software for the Webcam settings is not simply disabled:

    F2 at the STATION
    Go to advanced > system configuration
    Make sure the Webcam is turned on.
