- Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit
- Toshiba
- Satellite U845 Ultrabook
The live cd/usb stick works out of the box, but it does not detect the hard drive(s). After following instructions in these forums to break the fake raid and disable quick boot (or something like that) in the BIOS, I was able to install Ubuntu to the 32 GB SSD and make roughly half of the 500 GB hard drive my home directory.
I also decided to make the SSD bootable, so now I have two bootable drives I can choose from in BIOS if need be (hard drive straight to Windows, SSD straight to Linux).
The function keys work, but the special keys assigned to the function keys do not. Other than that, everything works great.
EDIT: More Info...
After a while I started to experience freezes that could only be remedied by holding the power button. This was the case before and after tweaking the BIOS. I then tried opensuse using an identical setup (regarding the two bootable drives/partitions) and the only problem I'm having is the lack of special functions on function keys.
