How to make an up-to-date installation?

[proofrock]

Hi,
first of all: incredible work. Just incredible. Thanks, I had a big, black, YB1-shaped paperweight, and now I'm beginning to see the light.

I'd like to know, if possible, how to perform a state-of-the-art installation on my YB1; what I tried so far:

• follow the wiki route (Ubuntu), but 2.10 is quite old and the procedure is not aligned to the last release, that doesn't have the ubuntu-yb.tar.gz file

• I tried with 21.04, installing the kernel deb from the latest release - a long shot - but the halo keyboard and sound don't work (the rest does)

• the live CD in the latest release works like a charm, but it's not installable :-(

Can I perhaps dd the live cd on the HDD? Will it persist the data? What would happen if I update the packages of the debian?

Thanks again, and have an happy summer ☀️

Hi, have you made any progress on this in the meanwhile?
I'd like to install an up-to-date installation on my Yoga Book.

Unfortunately not. I tried an install w/ 2.10, it sort of succeeded but many things weren't working (touchscreen, keyboard, wifi, bluetooth, sound). It's gathering dust now.

Ah shucks, thanks anway for the answer.

Hi, I hope to make the new installer in the next day or two.

Oh my! Awesome!! 😍 Feel free to ask for beta testing, it would be a pleasure.

[MasterEvarior]

@jekhor That would be absolutely awesome!

@jekhor , Hello, I'm also interested in linux on yoga book, have you not made an installer yet?
before the update with the cut-out, the installer tried to install, which I did not succeed.

[jekhor]

@V1QR I am sorry, still not :( Life in our region does not add enthusiasm because of the Russia invasion into Ukraine, but I still hope to find strength for this.

Oh my 😟 don't worry and take care, real life always comes first. Good luck!!

@proofrock thanks, I am in relative safe place for now but live in Belarus, the country which is involved in the war in the most shameful way.

[proofrock]

At least the frontline is not near. And I hope this situation ends soon, not only the war (also that), but the need for putting a label to people, because of this war... "russian", "belarusian", "ukrainian", "westerner"... we are just people. 🤨
