That's pretty disappointing (albeit semi expected) to hear. I was hoping that enough "web" apps had popped up to make a Chromebook a viable option to not replace my Lenovo but at least compliment it....

Any idea which Chromebook available is the best? It sounds like the Samsung is the most popular but the lack of an ethernet port kinda deters me as I still use ethernet when I can. The Acer looks ok....

Cr OS (the first link) I believe is just a skin of Linux and is a completely different experience than Google's ChromeOS.

That Google search brings up Hexxeh's old site, which was the main...

I had tried Chrome OS in the past and would be very curious to see where it's at now. Sounds like it's been maturing substantially.

Does anyone know where to try it out at? hexxeh no longer makes...

Yea, it really sounds like, unless you REALLY REALLY need the new kernel, don't touch it. I can't get over what a difference it made to stay at 3.2.

Unfortunately, I'm at work so I haven't been...

This definitely helped. I also turned off UEFI in the process just to make things simpler. I got it installed finally. I also updated to the new 3.8 kernel.

There's a few things that are a still...

Is anyone else having issues with elementary OS and using a LiveUSB to boot? I get to the grub, pick "Try out..." and it just brings me to a blank black screen. :( To be fair, I had the same issues...

Ironically enough, after updating 13.04 using the Software Update, I was having a terrible time trying to get ubuntu to boot properly. I ended up finally getting it after the 3rd or 4th attempt but...

I went into the BIOS and didn't see any settings for the graphics card. I've never seen an Nvidia card mentioned in reference to my U310 before so I'm fairly certain I'm stuck with Intel HD 4000...

Welp, I reinstalled Ubuntu 13.04 and the second time booting into the new installation, I was greeted with the same exact issue as before (boot up, flashes the magenta/purple screen, and then the...

Ok, I'll disregard the /boot partitions. I still should have two /efi partitions at the start of each drive, right? How big should those be?

Alright, that definitely makes sense. Again, seriously, thanks for your help.

So here's what I'm thinking.

1. Copy all of my personal files onto my Toshiba external drive as well as create a...

I don't really see this whole tablet and phone push as Canonical "ignoring" customers and the desktop; I see it as bringing other devices up to the desktop standard.

I have not. I thought the only video I had in my U310 Touch is the Intel HD 4000 Integrated Graphics.

In regards to that thread, those are actually the instructions that I followed the first time...

I really haven't changed much of anything, which is why I was so surprised when things started getting kinda wonky. I almost wish it was a consistent problem so it was easier to diagnose. I find it...

Could you walk me through these different steps? Would it just be easier for me to run Deja-Dup, make a backup, and then reinstall Ubuntu with the root and EFI partitions on the SSD and the home and...

Thanks for the reply!

I am currently in UEFI mode (I installed Ubuntu in UEFI mode as well).

Here's my boot info: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6001035/

Also, here's a picture on my boot menu:...

Hey everyone,

I recently installed Ubuntu 13.04 on my Lenovo U310 and absolutely love it. I removed Windows 8 so currently, Ubuntu is the only operating system on this computer.

I was never...

Makes sense. Recovery partition is just that; a Windows recovery partition. EFI is your boot info (best not to touch). NTFS is your Windows OS. OEM is probably just some random bloatware.

The...

If you boot into your BIOS, there should be an entry somewhere for Intel Rapid Storage Technology or something similar. Another way to see is to go to Computer, right click and select Manage. Go to...

Alrighty, I just got Ubuntu 13.04 installed, dual booting with Windows 8 in a weird, roundabout sort of way.

First, I went ahead and created a backup of everything on the Windows side. I already...

I know the feeling. My Windows partition has Ableton, Traktor, Komplete 8, etc. There's a lot to lose there!

I'll let you know how it goes tonight and maybe have some pointers.

I've had that happen with other Linux distributions in the past where it's create multiple boot entries in GRUB. Drove me nuts and still never really figured it out.

Anyway, here's what I'm...

First of all, your "wtf" keyword made me laugh pretty hard.

If you don't mind me asking, what "didn't go so well" the first time around? I've got a Lenovo U310 I'm going to try to install Ubuntu...
