Hello I've run into a problem today. I have a TAF which I have been using for quite some time now with not that many issues, but today, after installing some updates and restarting, it seems like I cannot boot anymore. I just have a black screen that says:

Loading Linux 4.11.8.7 ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...


To be honest I still use 4.9.15.3 because I dont use the tablet that much and have often had trouble with newer kernels so I only have 4.9 and 4.11 on the tablet and they both work fine for me. Does anyone know how I can get it to boot again? I've had no trouble in over 1.5 years with this install.

4.14-rc1 is out, it builds but it didn't boot to the desktop for me. Aufs is not supported yet either. The 4.14 patch set will be smaller. Some of Hans de Goede's patches made it into the kernel. I'll post a new patch set once I have something that boots up.

I've seen rumors that 4.14 will be the next LTS kernel series. We'll see.

i tried to install t100tam from scratch with ubuntu16.04 from this group. i can boot with usb stick.

i manually make the partition
/boot/efi
bios grub (unpartitioned)
/
swap

but i cant get the grub right. bios not detecting any boot loader from disk.

so, If i want to use this laptop. i have to plug ny usb stick with 16.04 live cd in it. go to grub cli, then booting it manual from there.
define the vmlinuz and initrd

how can i fix this?or anyone have same problem with me?

I have been unable to get any sound to work. I followed the instruction from John Well's page

"Grab the file here, and copy it to /var/lib/alsa/asound.state .
Load the state file into alsa with:

# sudo alsactl restore."

I also tried the instructions here

# sudo tar xzf linux-firmware-master-intel.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware/intel
# sudo cp t100_B.state /var/lib/alsa/asound.state

lastly I tried these commands

# sudo apt-get remove --purge alsa-base pulseaudio
# sudo apt-get install alsa-base pulseaudio

And force reload Alsa again:

# sudo alsa force-reload

now I'm missing the sound icon from the toolbar on the top and still no sound

Hi, I'm trying to learn some basic web development and decided using Ubuntu 16.04 would be the best option on my Asus T100t. Since there isn't a whole lot of room on my hard drive I'm trying to run it from a live usb (san disk cruzer micro usb 2.0 4gb) but I cant seem to be able to get past the "run ubuntu without installing" grub menu and just end up with a black screen.

I've downloaded the Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit iso for the Asus T100 4.7 and flashed it to my usb with rufus. Booting the usb is no problem it's just not able to run without installing. There is some command prompt text before the black/purple screen after selecting to run without installing but it is so quick I cant read what the code is. Is it because I am using a usb 2.0 (my port is 3.0)? Do I have to add/delete the latest kernel within the usb files? I don't want to install ubuntu as I dont have enough hard drive space rather I want to run it as a live usb and add persistence later so I can save changes.

I'm a bit new to all this so any help would be greatly really appreciated.

how can you adjust the brightness to lower levels. I have run the autobrightness script but still i can't adjust the brightness to lower levels. I also made rc.local executable and still i can't adjust it. I am running 16.04 with 4.13.1 kernel and autobrightness and the ability to lower brightness doesn't work. I am using a t100taf.

Glad I found this group. I recently commandeered a T100TA-C1 after upgrading my wife to a new notebook. Nice to have a machine for field work. But it was marred with that gasp windows stuff, so I had to remedy that.

So I installed Linux Mint 18.2 Xcfe, I followed the guide at http://www.jfwhome.com/2016/01/04/latest-steps-to-install-ubuntu-on-the-asus-t100ta for the most part, I was able to skip step 4 by setting up WiFi in the ISO, installing the grub-efi-ia32, in this way I was able to successfully boot up the new installation with no need to hijack the ISO grub.

PS. Thank you kindly for the guides and the link to the community John Wells.

That being said, I tried to get the audio working via the same guide but with no luck so far, that being said all I've done is as the guide said, replace the alsa state file, reading here I probably need to upgrade the kernel but I've found it a bit confusing with the age of the posts in question vs the discussion on the different kernel versions being used / tested, so I was hoping to find out::

What is the most stable current version of kernel I should use?

is it possible to install ubuntu onto the micro sd card? since my 32gb is basically full due to windows 10. I have about 5 to 6gb and thats after doing the clean disk and system files. I know that with regular laptops and computers you can install ubuntu onto an external hard drive and run it from an external hard drive, so wanted to know if its possible to install ubuntu onto the micro sd card which for me has 40gb of space. I was thinking maybe grub can stay on maybe the 32gb of the t100 since grub doesn't take up much space then, i could tell grub that ubuntu is located on micro sd card and windows is located on 32gb ssd. Please if anyone has experience with this type of setting up of ubuntu to run on the t100 let me know or post links that would help me get to achieving such a set up.

Well it took almost 2.5 days but 4.12.10 soft froze (mouse cursor still moves) on Mint 18.0 (32 bit) filling dmesg with brcmfmac error 110's. This is longest run I've had in months, but it's not good enough for a daily driver. I was able to recover wifi and the UI using "sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac && sudo modprobe brcmfmac", but...

I can't rule out an actual hardware issue with my device, but 4.9.3 did not have this error. Anyone else seeing this fault?
