Re: [ubuntu-studio-users] Problem with Asus FX505 Tuf Gaming laptop after installing 20.04

2020-10-27 Thread David King
Despite the Kubuntu installer saying it failed, I was able to boot into 
Kubuntu.


It is using the nouveau driver and so far seems to work without freezing 
for at least 1 hour.


However, currently I have no sound.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll download Kubuntu and try that.

Maybe you could try installing Kubuntu and then installing the Ubuntu 
Studio Desktop?


That works fine for me. HTH.

Nvidia hardware is "GeForce 940M".

No problems.

I'm not doing anything really complex, the usual home stuff but no 
gaming (D using VTT and discord, but nothing very taxing to the 
system).


Installation was from the DVD, nothing other than the usual items 
asked for during the installation.

It came with Windows 10. I booted from USB to live Ubuntu Studio 
20.04 and installed it after repartitioning.


I can boot into Ubuntu Studio, but after a few minutes, everything 
except the mouse freezes. I can move the mouse around, but not 
click on anything, not drag anything. Key presses do nothing. I 
could press CTRL ALT F1 for a terminal and do things there, but 
since I updated the kernel to 5.8.0-23-lowlatency, even that no 
longer works after booting.


I would really like to get Ubuntu Studio working on this laptop, as 
Windows 10 sucks. I can revert it all back to just Windows 10 if 
necessary, but would rather use Linux.


Any ideas on what is wrong?

Some websites suggest the graphics driver. I have the Nvidia 
proprietary driver installed and selected, originally the 
Xorg-nouveau driver was in use, but I removed this as some say it 
is buggy.

Update:
I fixed the sound issue, by this:

Edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf as root and add options 
snd-hda-intel dmic_detect=0 at the end of this file.
