Toshiba HW in Ubuntu installation?

Hello

I use a Toshiba Satellite L655. It came with a Win7. The first thing I did after buying was to annihilate Win7 and install ubuntu 10.10 on the entire hard drive (not a dual boot or Wubi install). Now I want to try ubuntu 11.04 beta from a live usb, and I'm changing the boot order. The laptop does not start from the USB key. I'm unable to access the BIOS. I tried pressing ESC, F2 etc while turning on the laptop. So far, I have not been able to access the BIOS Setup.

I tried Googling and I read on laptops from Toshiba "without inheritance. But do not know if mine is such a. Now, I have Win nothing in my laptop. I have only ubuntu 10.10. I need to access the BIOS Setup and change the boot order so that my laptop boot on the USB. How can I do this?

Toshiba has developed hw to Win. There is a similar one for Linux?

Any advice would be welcome.

At first, I must say that Toshiba doesn't support Linux and doesn't provide any tool or utility for Linux OS.
Anyway, it doesn't matter what operating system you have installed, you should be able to enter the BIOS settings and it must be F2 at startup.

When you start your laptop Toshiba welcome screen will appear and at the bottom, you will see little info line where is written press F2 to enter the BIOS or F12 to get into the boot menu.

You can enter menu STARTING using F12 at startup?

  • Toshiba, make Linux - Ubuntu drivers for USB bluetooth

    Toshiba, please make good Linux - Ubuntu drivers for your USB bluetooth. I was unpleasantly surprised noting that there is no driver available for Ubuntu. Please could someone explain THE reason for such a policy failed to Ubuntu users?

    The problem is Ubuntu here. The Bluetooth adapter is directly connected to the USB bus, so it should work without any problems if the OS is delivered with the appropriate software to Bluez. Try to update your Ubuntu installation (apt - get update). Make sure bluez is correctly installed.

  • Satellite L855D-10J - 13.04 along Windows 8 Ubuntu Installation

    Hello

    the laptop came with a 64-bit OS of Windows 8 to address preinstalled.

    I wanted to also install Linux Ubuntu 13.04. 64-bit office.

    At the start of the installation of Ubuntu, is not giving me the opportunity to install Ubuntu with Windows 8. It is said, that it has not detected a different OS (called OS) on the disk. But there are 8 Windows installed!

    I am not competent in Linux operating system installations, I like fooling around with manual installation.

    In BIOS it is selected "UEFI Boot" and "Secure Boot" is disabled.

    The installation procedure has worked, but why he recognizes that there are already Windows 8 is installed.

    See you soon.

    Hello

    It seems that Ubuntu has problems to install alongside Win8.
    I've seen several posts in the various bodies in this regard.

    I have no solution 1 button for you. In fact, I have no real solution at all.
    Instead, I'd like to direct you to a (global) guide that may be helpful.
    But I suggest you to keep that you:

    (1) create a recovery media for Win8! In case things go wrong, you can freely download Ubuntu as many times as you want. WIN8 recovery media will cost you money in case where you have not created them.
    (2) make backups of your important data!

  • I want to buy Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu and windows

    I want to buy a new laptop.
    I don't want to pay 300 quid for yet another stupid Windows (if they are just a version properly, people don't need to keep buying new... oh wait... they make more money...).

    Others don't offer laptops with Ubuntu (and not windows).

    I find myself here, and Toshiba appear also does not provide laptops without windows.
    Why? Why Toshiba offer laptops with pre-installed Ubuntu with no windows?

    I use Ubuntu for 3 years, and altogether, he transformed my daily calculation. No more bloody virus, not 5 minutes log-ins/closures, no more program - crashing down the entire system. It is faster, safer, more flexible and * free *.

    But because Toshiba do not appear to offer it, they can't get my habit (I'm in Ireland, so Toshiba options open to me may be different in other countries).

    Hello

    First of all it s a forum from user to user and you get no response from Toshiba here in the forum.

    But as much as I know that Toshiba laptops are not delivered with the distributions Linux.
    Of course, you can install Linux if you want, but laptops are delivered with the Windows operating system. As far as I know with win 7 64 bit and 32 bit OS.

  • Ubuntu installation on workstation 5.5.9

    I want to install Linux Ubuntu on workstation 5.5.9 and clarifying some details:

    will be the last 10.04.1desktop ubuntu works well on Wmv 5.5.9? (VMware installed on Cel 2.66 GHz with 2 GB RAM)

    When you create a new virtual machine, it is possible to specify the size of the drive, GB - whose size would be perfect for Ubuntu?

    Also, should I tick boxes 'Allocate all the space now' and 'split the drive into 2 GB files?

    Another question: I currently have a virtual machine that is running Win XP. As I see my virtual network settings, I have two virtual cards installed: VMware Network Adapter VMnet1(Host-only) and VMware Network Adapter VMne8 (NAT) that has been configured by default during the installation, I did not. Should I have allowed this two adapters? Or adapters only need one? (and resources)

    Hello.

    will be the last 10.04.1desktop ubuntu works well on Wmv 5.5.9? (VMware installed on Cel 2.66 GHz with 2 GB RAM)

    The first version of Workstation to officially support Ubuntu 10.04 is Workstation 7.1, there will probably be problems with the old version.

    When you create a new virtual machine, it is possible to specify the size of the drive, GB - whose size would be perfect for Ubuntu?

    Of course, that depends entirely on how much space you will need.  If you are testing just, then as little as 10-15 GB should be fine.

    Also, should I tick boxes 'Allocate all the space now' and 'split the drive into 2 GB files?

    The separation of 2 GB is a good option to use.

    Another question: I currently have a virtual machine that is running Win XP. As I see my virtual network settings, I have two virtual cards installed: VMware Network Adapter VMnet1(Host-only) and VMware Network Adapter VMne8 (NAT) that has been configured by default during the installation, I did not. Should I have allowed this two adapters? Or adapters only need one? (and resources)

    No doubt will be one is enough, you can choose the one that makes the most sense. If you do not need to leave the host with network traffic, use VMnet1.  If you have to go out with network traffic, then use VMnet8 or bridge connection (which is probably VMnet0).

    Good luck!

    Anything else?

    You may have already checked this, but have you turned on VT in the BIOS and then makes a cold reboot after that?  You can use this utility to check if you should be able to run 64-bit guests.  Do you have other running 64-bit guests?

  • Dell Inspiron 13-7352 ubuntu installation?

    Hello.

    I bought this phone today, I put my USB to boot ubuntu, press F12, select USB and Ubuntu install, run, and then the system has been installed.

    When the laptop has rebooted the screen is stay at purple screen :(

    The same memory has been tested in other laptop and work: S

    Why can't I install linux? I need gnu/linux because I am developer and is very important to my work.

    If Dell has no linux support I need change the laptop and buy HP laptop (like my last laptop)

    Kind regards!

    I got it to work! It took a while, but that's exactly what I did. I'll try to enlighten as much the problem as I can.

    Step 1:

    Download Ubuntu LTS 64 bits of Ubuntu.com 14.04.2

    I have not tested the latest version then I would say using the LTS version because it certainly has support for UEFI systems. It MUST be 64-bit. 32-bit has no support for UEFI systems.

    Step 2:

    Download UnetBootin Linux Live USB Creator. This Boot Disk Creator will make bootable using UEFI which is ABSOLUTELY necessary.

    Step 3:

    UnetBootin allows you to create the startup disk.

    Step 4:

    Press the start menu and reboot the PC while now the key [SHIFT]. This will take you to the advanced boot of the windows boot loader menu.

    Step 5:

    In the advanced boot menu, press 'Use of a device' and boot from the USB drive.

    Step 6:

    Select "install Ubuntu along beside the bootloader windows"(or something smilar) installing Ubuntu. "." This will install correctly.

    THEN YOU'RE DONE!

    I hope this helps! Finally, it worked for me!
