Just close the lid for a second and open it again and you should see the login screen NOTE: After the boot, chances are you will be greeted with a black screen.
IMPORTANT: Once you are at the Grub menu again, press e and do exactly the same as we did just above. Once the installation is finished, Reboot your laptop.

I guess you know how to handle the installation. It will go to the normal Ubuntu installation screen. Linux /casper/vmlinuz.efi file=/cdrom/preseed/ed boot=casper quiet splash nomodeset i915.modeset=1 fbcon=rotate:1. So, the resulting screen would look something like this set gfxpayload=keep We need to do this because, otherwise Ubuntu will be in portrait mode.

What nomodeset does is, it tells the kernel not to load the video drivers until the sytem has finished booting.Īlso fbcon=rotate:1 rotates the display clockwise.

The thing is, with the default boot parameters, it just won’t boot in this particular laptop. WARNING!! : In the Grub menu, DO NOT PRESS ENTER YET Boot it up!Ĭonnect the USB, power on the Laptop and press Fn+F12 to get the boot menu. In the BIOS, use the right arrow to go to the Configuration and then disable Secure Boot from there.

If you are not able to get 10GB out, try deleting some files and try to shrink it again. We need at least 10GB of free space in the new partition. The maximum shrinkable size depends on the current usage of the Disk. If you plan to keep Windows 10, boot into it, launch the disk management tool and shrink your C drive. If you rely on this laptop to get things done, I recommend you keep Windows10 until you are sure that the Ubuntu installation works great for you.

It is not a good idea to wipe the disk and install just Linux as things are not pretty yet. Go ahead and download Etcher and prepare the bootable flash drive Making room for our installation I use Etcher which is an amazing open source tool to flash OS images. Now that we have the ISO, we need to write it to a flash drive.
#UBUNTU USB BOOT FLIP DONE TIME OUT ISO#
If you are too lazy to do that, HERE is the direct link to the ISO Make sure you download the 64bit version. Go ahead and download the Ubuntu iso from HERE. Let’s get started Preparing a Bootable USB drive Even with the latest available hardware, we need to do quite some work to get some stuff (like, boot!) working properly. Lenovo Miix 320 was released very recently and because of that, old Kernels doesn’t play nice with the hardware. I chose Ubuntu 18.04 ( as of now, it is still in beta - not a public stable release) because it will have the latest possible Kernel, which means better hardware support. Update: I highly recommend Pop OS! Read the above part if you haven’t already. It should work out of the box Choosing a Linux Distro
But, you don’t need to edit any configuration files. You can use the instructions below to make the bootable disk etc. Surprisingly, everything works out of the box
But, I came across Pop OS by System76 (Someone mentioned it in the comments) and I gave it a shot. It took lot of effort to get the system to a usable state. The original blog post was about installing Ubuntu 18.04 on your Miix 320. But, worry not, I was able to successfully install and use Ubuntu 18.04 on this tiny laptop, and it is pretty neat. It’s an amazing piece of hardware with one major flaw - It comes with Windows 10. Lenovo Miix 320 is a tiny convertible laptop that doesn’t put a hole in your wallet.
