Edit - HardwareSupport/Machines/Netbooks wiki page

1) 17.04 but most likely any
2) MSI
3) Apache Pro
4) Can't install via usb with dualboot on windows. I think there are no enough rights to install Grub. it fails after the install is done and it tries to implement boot loader or something

18.04
HP-Pavilion-13-x360 hp-pavilion-13-a200-x360-convertible-pc requires 2 parameters to be passed to kernel.

secure boot=off from BIOS so your wireless will load driver.

Grub (Linux) parameters.

acpi_osi=
(yes, nothing after equal sign)
So it doesn't claim to be Windows messing up everything&freezing hard on boot (brick like if you are coming from Android)
pci=biosirq (not absolutely sure that is needed after acpi runs but does cause no harm)

After these settings, even a Live USB will boot fine, requiring only wired connection for updates&internet. You will need broadcom-wl-dkms for wireless.

I'm seeing posts on the internet where people have gotten that machine to work. I recommend starting a support thread for getting it working.

1) Version Of Ubuntu: 18.04 LTS
2) Laptop Maker: Lenovo
3) Laptop Model: Ideapad 330
4) Issue(s): I`ve been using Ubuntu for a few weeks, no too intensively though; so far I have problem only with the keyboard, but a very frustrating one, particularly if you type a lot of text:
The combination "Shift" + "Home" / "End" for selecting text doesn`t work in any text editor unless I press NumLock first. When asked to save a file, pressing "Shift" + "Home" / "End" behaves as if pressed only "Home"/"End": it only moves the cursor at the beginning/end of the text without selecting any text.

NOTE: I have used Ubuntu 14.04 briefly on a Fujitsu Siemens Notebook (Amilo series, I don`t remember the exact name of the model) and then I had the same problem, even worse: "Shift" + "Home" / "End" did not work at all. However, when I logged in as a Guest User, the keyboard functioned properly.
