I will give it a try. Why not.? I did read the etiquette, but ignored the bios thing because I thought it was too dangerous. I recommend linking to updating bios if you want someone to do this. If one has windows, it is really easy (on paper).
I researched how to do this and it seems easy enough although dangerous. But I have flashed my tablet many times and I know brick in is a myth. (I am typing on a bricked tablet). For the record, I did try to upgrade the kernel and it crashed on install.., using apt and the standard repositories. Version 30 I think it was. I used that opportunity to install lubuntu. I am still interested in helping ubuntu and I tried to update a usb kernel, but i cannot. So I tried on my lubuntu just for fun.. Rc6 would not install properly BTW. I could recover using advanced options. So I tried many things. I will let you know if the bios update helps the ubuntu clicking. I can test on a usb live ubuntu without worrying about the kernel now. Thanks for your help on ubuntu community. If you need to see the message apt gave on rc6 failed install I can send it. I might file a bug, but rc7 just came out. And I will file the bug using a 4.2 kernel. http://subhuti.withmetta.net http://withmetta.net On Mar 8, 2016 3:36 PM, "Christopher M.
