As first time user , I wanna ask whether my laptop is compatible or not for ubuntu 14.04 32 bit
with : Toshiba L645 Core i3
Ram 6GB
It works well with windows 7 ultimate 32bit OS but during installation of ubuntukylin 14.04 32 bit after entering the welcome screen it reboot itself.
I am running 14.1 on a Samsung QX410 Notebook. Everything works w/o issue.

- I had to update to the latest BIOS before installation of Ubuntu.
- I erased the entire hard disk and had Ubuntu auto configure the partitioning.
- Installed correctly with default BIOS settings.
- The TRACKPAD works with touch and gestures but does NOT work with "push-to-click"
- Everything else works. I've been running it for a week.
- Sleep and SUSPEND work.
- Boot to desktop time of about 30 secs with no tweaks.
- BATTERY life about 7 hours on full charge.
- SOUND works.
- DISPLAY is fine.
- KEYBOARD and all function keys working.
- Runs all my APPLICATIONS sufficiently, examples of tested software: Firefox, Chromium, Midori, geany, PyRoom, xfe, PCManFM, Synaptic, Unity Tweak, LibreOffice,
- The one APPLICATION that gave me some trouble was AbiWord, but I'm not sure if that was hardware related.

big problems with Nvidia drivers when installed in EFI mode (system boots to blank screen) install in legacy/bios mode and you will be fine.
Note: Hard drive will run in IDE mode not AHCI (reduced read/write speeds and computer runs alittle hot)
Track Pad SUCKS REALLY BAD (SUPER SLOW) research MTRACK alternitive driver and tweak as needed.
MTRACK
After alot of tweaking my system actaully runs very well GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!:p
and If anyone else has any tips on getting AHCI mode to run I would really apriciate it! PLEASE PM ME IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS
Try the 64 bit version. With 6GB of RAM the computer likely (as in almost certainly if it came with that much RAM from the factory) has a 64 bit processor. Newer UEFI versions will not work with a 32 bit OS without a complicated work-around. Also, only 3.2GB of your RAM would be usable with a 32bit OS anyway.

Hi Ziktofel,
I also have a Lenovo Z580 laptop. Have you upgraded Linux Mint? Did you encounter the boot-up-time bug? On my laptop, due to a bios bug in the Z580s, it takes 30 minutes to boot up using Ubuntu 13.04. I haven't tried a newer version.
After originally posting in the 'Incompatibility' List, I'm now moving to the 'Compatibility' List.
1) Hardware: 2002 Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop.
2) O/S: Xubuntu 14.04.2 LTS
3) Stats: 1 GB RAM, 20 GB HDD, Intel Celeron 2.2 GHz single-core CPU (P4 generation).
Originally, the problem was that upon installation, the display would be jammed into the top left-hand corner of the screen. Tried many fixes, including 'nomodeset' in /etc/default/grub...this at least moved it into the centre of the screen.
Quite by chance I came upon this post by LukeM (#16 on this page):-

Changed
toCode:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="persistent"
and then ranCode:GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=792"
.....rebooted.....and everything's all right with the world! I'd been searching for a 'fix' for this for nearly a year; hats off to LukeM for this nugget of advice. Xubuntu works PERFECTLY, if a little slowly (more due to the Celeron's tiny L2 cache than anything else). This should be considerably improved by a planned 2.6 GHz P4 upgrade in the next fortnight.Code:sudo update-grub
I'm using a TP-Link WN725N 'nano' wireless adapter, as the Dell only has Ethernet as standard. Configured it once; it now auto-connects at every boot with no fuss at all. Excellent!
Battery gives about 3.5 hours on a full charge. The original battery was replaced two years ago with a high-capacity version. Some of you may be horrified at this, but the Dell was fitted with a full-size desktop CPU which pulls nearly 60W; in those days, the current generation of ultra-low power mobile CPUs weren't even on the drawing board, much less a reality. I believe the first of the current type wouldn't appear for another 5-6 years.....
Most impressed!
Regards,
Mike. :)
I have a Dell Inspiron i3542 running Ubuntu 14.04. Installed flawlessly and everything seems to work out of the box.
