MS Surface Pro 7 - Error Communicating to TMP Chip
Vinc098 opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi, I need your help. I'm tried everything to run Linux (Ubuntu 19.10, other OS' doesn't work either) on my surface pro 7. The live-usb-Stick works (tried it on my desktop PC).
In UEFI the Secure-Boot is off + TMP Chip is on. (Tried it with TMP off, than it doesn't boot, too. Does anyone knows a workaround?
Please explain it more detailed, because I'm new with Grub/booting Linux.
PS: My Windows 10 (same SSD other partition) is encrypted with Bitlocker.
Thanks.
That's a known issue, see for example jakeday/linux-surface#592 (comment). Specifically:
- Kernel parameter
modprobe.blacklist=intel_lpss_pci
, otherwise system hangs asintel-lpss
loads.
Meaning, you have to edit the kernel parameters before booting into the live image (see e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions under "Changing the CD Boot Option Configuration Line") and add modprobe.blacklist=intel_lpss_pci
at the end.
Thank you so much. It worked.
Do you know any kernel (Debian) that supports touch input/pen input for the surface pro 7?
tried out some mentioned here on github without luck.
See #22 for the status on that. I'm not aware of any other project trying to support IPTS devices on the newer kernels.
Closing as main issue is resolved.
