From roger at rcgibson.plus.com Fri Feb 7 17:42:22 2014 From: roger at rcgibson.plus.com (Roger Gibson) Date: Fri, 07 Feb 2014 17:42:22 -0000 Subject: [Chester LUG] Asus X102BA Touchscreen Netbook on Linux and Windoze 7 Message-ID: <52F51ACC.1000807@rcgibson.plus.com> My Samsung NF 110 has intermittent problems sometimes when booting up (screen scrambles). PC World (Knowhow) have given up trying to fix it and offering me choice of what is equivalent out there as Samsung is now obsolete. Attractive are the ASUS X102BA Touchscreen Netbook and the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 10-e011sa. However when I ask about multibooting with Linux and Windoze 7, neithewr PC World, nor ASUS/HP seem able to help. Looking through the blogs, I spotted 'Paul of Meols' who seems happy with his ASUS X102BA now he has loaded Linux. Is this our Paul Williams? I would be grateful for any comments anyone has about these or any other 10.1" notebooks, (Chrome etc is no good as my Broadband is pathetic when working, and prone to problems, and anyway, I don't trust it!), especially Paul if he has one. I've never tried multibooting on EFI or fastboot. Have any issues been sorted now. What about drivers? Any help or recommendations gratefully received.

Did it get through the system? Any advice or warnings about multi-booting a Windows 8 Touch Screen notebook most gratefully received. Ubuntu sounds OK, but I've seen warnings about Linux Mint. A 10" machine with proper keyboard and 500GB HD plus all the trimmings weighing 1.1kg sounds pretty OK and portable, provided I can turn convert it to a decent fast OS. Must come along one Thursday soon - Roger. On 07/02/2014 17:41, Roger Gibson wrote: > My Samsung NF 110 has intermittent problems sometimes when booting up > (screen scrambles).

Yep, it did get through; mailing lists usually have archives that you can browse (possibly members-only, possibly messages not from today), the LUG website has a link to ours -- http://mailman.lug.org.uk/pipermail/chester/ I assume that no-one has a fancy touchscreen laptop! Maybe the usual advice of trying live distros with whatever methods are possible.
