I tried all 4.14 till 4.14.8 on which i’ve experienced the Touchpad not initializing at startup. Then i tried the 4.15-rc4 and i experienced the Touchpad freeze for the first time. I figured that 4.14.3 was the one working the best for me.

This is my result:

Since i went back to the 4.14.3 the Touchpad has always worked. For your interest, there’s a very good offer for the laptop on gearbest selling at 205 euros if you buy it from the Chinese warehouse, 70 pieces left.

While on the 4.14.8, the Trackpad disappeared again on reboot. I tried another shutdown and another reboot and still no Trackpad. I then tried what i had done before which was to unplug the power cord and then Shutdown the computer and i can confirm that it made the Trackpad reinitialized again. I’m gonna go back to 4.14.3 to see if it happens.

Because this comupter belong to one of my customers. She asked me to find a cheap computer with Ubuntu and i advised her to buy this one. She then brought it to me so that i make the SSD and Ubuntu install. She’ll take it back in a day or two. But now i want one 🙂

Also, i just installed your Kernel but i don’t know how to boot from it in rEFInd ?

I am reading that rEFInd uses the most recent timestamp when choosing kernels in the /boot folder. I don’t understand because my 3.14.3 should have the most recent one ?

For those reading this wanting to install and test a new kernel i used UKUU which has a GUI. To then boot from it apply what i did in my below edit.

Edit : So what i did is “cd /boot” then “stat *” to see the different kernels and their timestamps. Then i did “sudo touch vmlinuz-4.14.3-041403-generic” to update its timestamp to the current date and time and bingo, i booted on the 4.14.3

Edit 2 : i just installed the last kernel available the 4.15.0-041500rc4-generic and so far so good, the Touchpad is still working. I just have a weird CUPS daemon error at startup but it now seems to happen whatever kernel i use. A “sudo apt-get update && upgrade” just resolved my error.

Edit 3 : Something very interesting just happened! While on 4.15.0 rc4 kernel the Trackpad just froze for the first time. And i did manage to make it work again without rebooting, i did “sudo rmmod i2c_hid” and then “sudo modprobe i2c_hid” to relaunch it and boom the mouse moved again. I’m still gonna revert to 4.14.8 to see if a froze happen. I won’t have this computer for long so i’m trying everything i can to find answers.

Nice Brad.

The Trackpad failed again and it was not going up anymore even after a shutdown or a reboot. So what i tried is to unplug the Power Cord et shutdown again, and it reworked just after (never needed to reset the bios). Also, i had forgot that i had set Fastboot in the bios which i disabled again.

I now tried to restart or shutdown 20 times and it has always worked. I’m not upgrade to the same kernel Brad, the 4.14.3-1 and will keep you updated.

Thanks for the infos.

Thanks Brad,

Tho i had put all the links, now people won’t find them, they still can find my attached instruction in the before yours if they need the links. Just now the Trackpad was not working. I simply rebooted and it worked again. I’m sure the fix on this is really a simple setting but i don’t know which as i didn’t applied any patch, i can’t set the milliseconds for the trackpad initialization.

It seems i can’t post a comment with some links. The Trackpad works nearly every times for me. I uploaded the instructions in an odt file format as i couldn’t post them directly on the forum (maybe detected as spam?).

Yes good idea. Xjesus, your  xjubuntab gives me an error with the “mipi sequence block v3+” which is required by my screen (vi8 plus). I have read here and there that the patch was included in must recent kernels and I thought that your release had one of those, the 4.4.4 if I’m not mistaken. Do you know what I could do? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Sorry for having taken So long but i had personal issues. I can see that the thread has grown a lot. So I read it all and decided to try xjubuntab from xjesus on my Vi8 Plus (cherry trail 8300). Sadly the live is not booting, I arrive at a black screen. I have tried acpi=off alone and nomodeset alone without luck but when I put both acpi=off and nomodeset (as I was doing for other distros when I was testing), I can get to the Desktop. The problem is that I don’t have Any touch screen working it seemed very very slow. Any clue ?

Thanks for all your work

 

EDIT: i didn’t managed to boot successfully to the desktop. I tried every parameters I had tried before so that’s a complete mystery.

The error I can see is:

DRM:Intel_bios_init Unable to parse MIPI sequence block v3+

Failed to own the pwm ch IP

Perfect!

Could you host the different files and link to it ? i could try it on the vi8 plus and attempt to get the wifi working. I had also thought about putting Unity instead, very good idea. And i was thinking, imagine Beryl/Compiz on it,with something that uses the accelerometer to turn the cube, like, turn a bit on the left and you get to see the desktop on the left side of the cube,. This is only a thought i’ve had for years, maybe totally useless, but very cool i’m sure.

Thanks,

Guillaume

So, you absolutely need that file, you’ll then manage to boot on your key. No, there’s no hard reset to go back to original state. I don’t have a vi8 but a vi8 plus with only Windows, but i do know how this works. I uploaded you the bootia32.efi, place it in the right folder and try again + follow tutorials to restore the system you want.

So the problem is that you don’t know how to boot on your usb key right ? This bios is weird but the thing you have to remember is that you need a bootia32.efi file in the /efi/boot/ folder of your usb boot drive. Also, f7 during boot should get you to the boot selection menu. If you select your key and it does not work then your key is faulty, verify that the efi folder has the bootia32.efi file.

If you don’t have the boot menu by pressing f7,  you should be able to boot on the key even via the bios by selecting override boot in the last tab.

Keep me updated.
