Plus 2: Unable to boot UEFI partition ?

[Daniél Lecoq]

It has to do with using a 32-bit UEFI in a 64-bit system.
Have a look at this thread…

Linux on Atom based devices

Thx for replying !

I saw the thread but the live linux usb I installed is a 64bits… why I can boot on a live 64bits but not on a fixed one ?!

I have read elsewhere, that you can only boot WinPE UDFI system from USB drive, not grub2 or other linux, this is BIOS limitation. Not verified this though.

Just curious. How is the touch support on lubuntu? I tried Gnome on another 2-in-1 and felt that the effort wasn’t worthwhile.

Andy: I thought so too but :
– Lubuntu created with “LinuxLive USB creator” on windows: Works, I can boot it
– Lubuntu installed on a USB key in UEFI mode: Doesn’t work, I cannot boot it

It’s quite weird.

In native mode, I don’t have any touch support on lubuntu. I was about to do it with the installed lubuntu if I could boot it.

The only one difference I see is the UEFI partition. On the installed linux, I have a 250MB UEFI partition while linux live usb or winPE or anything else don’t contain UEFI partition, only the main one.

The stock one is 100Mo, it shouldn’t change anything but I’ll try to install a new linux with an UEFI partition size at 100Mo.

See this custom distro built and tested on/for your tablet I think: http://xjesus.net/xjubuntu/xjubuntab-tablet-customizedcustomizable-distro-based-on-xubuntu-14-04-64-bits/

[Jason]

I don’t want to install a new distribution, I want to boot on my usb key with already my distribution installed. (don’t care about touchscreen support etc…)

It’s UEFI, BIOS etc… it’s a norm, not supposed to be dependent on the distribution.
