Hi, I just installed Kubuntu 15.04 on my Asus N550JK. I have a number of issues, so I was hoping that others could help and share their solutions?
Not working:
- external subwoofer
- brightness (f5-f6)
- mute, volume up and down (f9-f10-f11)
Nvidia graphic card. (fixed): after the first installation I only got a black screen. To access the system, I needed to:
- when grub shows up, press e and edit the line: remove "quiet splash" and write instead "nomodeset".
- when you are on the desktop, enable the repository "partner" (you can do it from software center muon >> sources)
- then launch the driver manager. A list of drivers will appear, I installed the recommended one. Reboot.
Working out-of-box:
- wifi
- keyboard backlit (f4-f3)
- microphone
- webcam
