Toshiba Satellite a 50 & Ubuntu

Hello!

I have the Toshiba Satellite A50-120 portable, and I want to install Ubuntu 5.04!

It works on my laptop?

Thanks for the replies!

Hello

If I understand you right you two laptops and Ubuntu works on one of them. I can't give you a correct information, but if you have experience, you can try to install it on your Satellite A50.

Please let us know if it works correctly and it will be very nice to share your experience with other users of the forum.

Good bye

  • Ubuntu on Toshiba Satellite U940 - startup of: SSD

    Hi guys,.

    I think buy Toshiba Satellite U940. The reason is that he a dimmable-up ultrabook so I'll buy 16 GB of ram and a 120 GB of msata SSD. I'm going to install ubuntu. But because I'm not sure that two important things, I would ask you first.

    1. can you the msata SSD was seen directly from the bios? I want to install ubuntu on it and also to have my case start and all programs there. I ask this question because I read somewhere msata SSD it is only for the purpose of the cache and cannot be seen directly because it is in RAID mode. So can we get around this thing from the bios? I just only to manipulate the msata SSD as a disk driver normal in my bones. It is this possible?

    2 are all drivers for Toshiba Satellite available for ubuntu linux U940?

    Thank you guys for your time.

    Hi Harry

    Good to hear about your projects!

    I can't answer your question exactly since I don't have the necessary information to do so.
    However, I can tell you some things that can help!

    The RAID configuration is purely software-rendering. So it can be removed from f.ex Ubuntu disk-tool.
    I installed Fedora on the U840 and U940 that have the same RAID on an internal SSD flash drive and internal HARD drive.

    The RAID can easily be removed and that make storage devices appears as installation targets unique (e.g. SDA and SDB).

    However, I can't tell you if any data 3' rd party SSD will work in the U940.

    My Setup was when I used the 32 GB SSD as a target for the OS - which is actually a LOT of space for an OS Lnux.
    The internal HARD disk has been mounted as HOME.
    In this way, I had the speed of the SSD for all operations of the system (boot, updates...) while having massive storage HARD drive for personal data.

    Regarding the drivers, I think in addition to the basic features should work (WiFi, screen, sound, etc).
    In my tests, I noticed (but is no intensive testing is) no problem don't except the backlight on the keypad was not working on older kernels.

  • Sound on Toshiba Satellite L755 - 1J9 PSK2YE problems

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L755-1J9 PSK2YE maybe it's coincidence but was upgraded to Windows 10 and stopped working the audio.
    Thinking that it was Windows 10, Formate of the computer and install Windows 7 but still the same, the sound works for 5 minutes and cut until you put another video.
    If I connect a headphone or Audio HDMI is not cut ever.

    I noticed it happened to most Toshiba laptops, but I found no solution. Anyone know any solution?

    I got into ubuntu to test the audio and the same thing, to five minutes run out sound until you put another video.

    Hi Klöber

    As you probably know Toshiba doesn't support Linux OS if you won't find it on Toshiba support page. If no one here will be able to help, I recommend you to visit some forums of Linux and Linux experts ask if they can help you with this.

  • Toshiba Satellite A105-s2236 recovery problems

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-s2236, which crashed by some kind of virus.  I did a recovery for her disc, but he lost and must have the computer for the class.  I installed Ubuntu 9.04 on thinking that if I got the recovery disc, I would be able to go back.  Long story short, no recovery disk.  It came with windows Vista Home Basic and I have the product key.  What choices do I have?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Contact Toshiba and see if they can send you another set of recovery disks (it can be a light load, but it's cheaper than a new operating system).  Some systems allow you to make the recovery partition recovery disks - I don't know if you can do what you are currently Setup, but it is possible - again once you need to talk to Toshiba about.  Other PC still allows a system reinstall recovery partition by pressing a certain combination of keyboard during startup - I don't know if this applies to you, but Toshiba knows.

    Another option is to borrow a disk to install Windows Vista genuine of ANYONE and allows it to proceed with the installation (they are not protected against copying).  You must use your own product key and that would determine which version of Vista has been installed.  Here's how to do a clean install with Windows Vista (which must be modified slightly if you use the discs recovery or partition of recovery of the manufacturer according to their instructions): http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/winvista_install_03.asp.

    I hope this helps.
