My solution on issues about asus zenbook Ux533 with ubuntu 18.04.
Ux533 is a good laptop, but I guess it is too new for ubuntu 18.04
Frequent crash while installing ubuntu.
It is the problem about the graphic card.
Choose install Ubuntu option (BUT DONT PRESS ENTER)
Press e
Find the line that starts with linux then add
modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
after quiet splash before triple dashes.
Once the installation is done, remove the usb and reboot system
Make sure security boot is disabled (in BIOS)
Boot, select Ubuntu at GRUB (repeat modprobe.blacklist=nouveau step if the screen freezes again).
Once booted successfully, blacklist nouveau permanently
sudo bash -c "echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf"
sudo bash -c "echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf"
cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
You should see:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
then
sudo update-initramfs -u
to activate
then install nvidia driver,
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-xxx (418 or 410 or...)
sudo reboot
once booted
nvidia-smi
to see if you have driver or not, see issue 2 if got purple screen after reboot (especially after update and upgrade)
If no sound from speaker/keyboard backlight notworking but works fine under windows:
reason: kernel 4.15 does not support hardware
solution: update kernel to 4.20
my way:
install ukuu (https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/02/ukuu-easy-way-to-install-mainline-kernel-ubuntu)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:teejee2008/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ukuu
then open ukuu in application (show application, the 3*3 dots icon left lower corner, or use window key, to search ukuu)
then upgrade kernel to 4.20 or higher (4.19.x may work, but 4.19.0 does not,i guess somewhere beween 4.19.1 and 4.20)
after update then boot stuck in purple screen and stuck in loading initial ramdisk with recovery mode
reason: intel update
solution:
in grub, select ubuntu, DO NOT PRESS ENTER ,presse 'e', add
dis_ucode_ldr
after the line that starts with linux, then boot (press F10)
once booted, in terminal:
sudo apt install intel-microcode=3.20180312.0~ubuntu18.04.1
then hold package:
sudo apt-mark hold intel-microcode=3.20180312.0~ubuntu18.04.1
should solve the problem
it sucks, as usual.
- if not boot after install
in grub, select ubuntu, DO NOT PRESS ENTER ,presse 'e', add
modprobe.blacklist=nouveau
to the end of the line that starts with linux (after splash), then boot,
if bootable, then step 2
-
blacklist nouveau
sudo bash -c "echo blacklist nouveau > /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf" sudo bash -c "echo options nouveau modeset=0 >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf" cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nvidia-nouveau.conf
You should see:
blacklist nouveau
options nouveau modeset=0
then
sudo update-initramfs -u
then install cuda driver, see step 3
- install cuda
deb file (with driver) works for me, the following is by my personal 5 years cuda installation summary
download deb file and install should work, if not,
sudo apt-get purge --remove cuda*
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
if the driver is loaded (after reboot), then install through cuda.run file without driver.
if not, then install cuda driver,
sudo apt-get purge --remove nvida*
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-xxx (418 for cuda 10, 410 for cuda 9, ...)
sudo reboot
once rebooted
nvidia-smi
see if driver was installed properly or not, if it does, then
Then download cuda.run file and install cuda without install driver,
If it is still not working, well, a clean install ubuntu may help.
in terminal:
xset dpms force off
permanent: add
alias screenoff='xset dpms force off'
to .bashrc
then in the future, just type 'screenoff' in the terminal
update : just dim the screnn ( fn + f4 ) till complete black.
resaon : 18.04 will use 802.11n but the router may use a/b/g
Check if it works first with:
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
Make it permanent with this command:
echo "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
Fn+Esc is not working out of the box, meaning that Fn keys cannot be locked. This can be easily fixed by updating to kernel version 5.2.3 or higher. See issue #1 for instructions on how to update the kernel.
It is just problem I have with my zenbook, if it destroys your system, well, das Leben ist kein Ponyhof.
If you have other problems, I may be able to help (if the system is not fresh installed,
then the possibitties will be way to high)
