Installing Linux on Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 13" that comes with Android

Hello all,
has anyone yet tried to install a Linux distribution on the Tablet 2 Pro 13" to replace the Android it comes with? Does the Android version of this tablet even boot from USB media, or is locked in some way?
That tablet with Linux would just be perfect for my needs, and unfortunately the Windows variant of it is not really an option (heavier, not yet available in Europe)...
Thanks,
Daniel

I've experienced something very simliar. I plugged the tablet (Yoga Tablet 2 Pro 13.3) into a computer USB port by accident, then quickly disconnected while the PC was trying to install driver. After that, I could not get the tablet to charge from high power AC adapters, including one shipped with the tablet. The only way I could get the device to charge was to use a lowly Amazon Kindle AC adapter - but it was so slow I estimated it would have taken 40 hours. I reset to factory, tried all these different "tricks" from this forum, but to no avail. Just when I was ready to send it back, a firmware update was issued. I thought I would give it a go.. After the update, everything is now back to normal. But it was such an upleasant experience for otherwise an excellent device.

    Hi shldr2thewheel,
         it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
    Sincerely in need of help once again,
    Kim

  • HT5639 Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Can I use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook Pro?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    Boot Camp wasn't designed to install Linux. Apart from that, the Boot Camp version included in OS X Mountain Lion will ask you to insert a Windows 7 or Windows 8 DVD in order to run Boot Camp, as far as I know.
    Apple doesn't support Linux on Macs, but it works properly on Macs. There are a lot of how-to's in the Internet about the steps to install Linux and the different possibilities you have. Also, what distribution do you want to install on the computer? You should also consider the option to install Linux on a virtual machine

  • Request to Mods. re: Yoga Tablet pro 2 not wakeable after it goes to sleep

    We have a number of posts regarding the Yoga Tablet Pro 2 going to sleep and not waking up.  Can we get some kind of confirmation that this is actively being worked on or passed along?  I feel most of us have tried to do a factory reset, for some it's worked for a time, others (such as myself) this has not worked at all.   It is not a battery issue because when you hard power off the device and repower it back on, the battery still shows maybe a few percent less than when the device went to sleep. 
    I do know this is frustrating me and I'm tempted to walk away from this tablet for that reason. 
    Perhaps we can get a confirmation that this has been passed up the chain or any kind of other "official" recommendations to try.  It's not fun having to come back to my tablet after it goes to sleep and having to hard power it off and then repower it back on - every 5th or 6th time.
    Thank you,
    Dan

    I am bumping this.  I'd like to see one thread or a sticky on this topic.  There are too many threads on this issue and some of us are repeating the same information.  I'd also like to know if any work is being done by Lenovo on this issue.  The Factory reset seemed to work for a 2 weeks and now my tablet is back to sleeping and not waking. 
    If someone stumbles on this, the North American Number for Lenovo Tech Support  is:
    877-453-8686
    If you call, Remind them that the Factory reset does not work.
    Dont forget to be courteous!

  • I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    I just bought a 15" macbook pro, do the cds that come with the mac have the drivers i need to update windows after installing windows using boot camp?

    What DVDs are this ?
    If it is OSX Snow Leopard Installation DVD then yes this disc contains the BootCamp Drivers version 3.x and is needed after the installation of Windows to install the BootCamp Drivers.
    With OSX Lion BootCamp is at version 4.x and the BootCamp Drivers have to be downloaded during use of the BootCamp Assistant in OSX.

  • Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6?

    Well its been a long time visiting the discussions for me, just after the new format, and I still hate it and it does seem painfully slow, but have a question. Now to figure out How to Post it.
    Can a New MacBook Pro that comes with 10.7 run 10.6 ? Hate losing Rosetta. Whoops, search came up with this.
    Actually you can, at this time, downgrade the new MBPs to SL if you have the correct version od SL. You need at least 10.6.7 for it to work on the current run of MBPs. Once they come out with a newer, 2012, MBPs I have no idea if SL could be installed.
    Guess I better hurry.
    Anyone disagree? It use to be you would get a msg saying No. But from looking I see some places in the states selling them with 10.6 installed and a free upgrade to 10.7. Not that option here.
    So where is that enter key to post

    Then what is this?
    MBP Model 8.2 i7 2.2 SMC version 1.69f3.
    Really I don't lie and I am getting tired of people calling me a lier.
    Thanks.
    I'm reluctant to wade into this but I noticed that if Mactracker is to be believed, the Early and Late MacBook Pro have the same Model Identifier, which would suggest that the SL installer for the Early MBP might see the Late MBP, which came with Lion, as close enough for government work. While the SL installer wouldn't necessarily be 100% suitable for the Lion Machine and probably wouldn't allow installing over the existing Lion partition, I can imagine it working on a clean partition or external USB or Firewire drive. A 10.6.8 combo updater could then configure the SL installation for the MBP it's actually on.

    No. You don't need it. But if  you did you could use the freeware ClamXav 2.2.1.

  • How to install the JRE that comes with JME 3.0 to a Windows Mobile device

    From Sun's JME download page:
    Integration with 3rd party emulators and Windows Mobile devices
    The new Java ME Platform SDK architecture allows integration of 3rd party emulators and devices. Java ME Platform SDK comes with Sun's Java runtime environment for Windows Mobile. A user can install this runtime on a Windows Mobile device or a Microsoft device emulator and experience all the on-device features of Java ME Platform SDK.*
    My question is, how can I install the Java runtime environment that comes with Java ME Platform SDK 3.0 to a Windows Mobile device. I am a newbie in this device programming and I'm setting up my development environment. So far, I have installed JME in my computer, and have also installed both the Windows Mobile 5 and Windows Mobile 6 emulator. I've been searching the internet for answers, but it always points me to using a third party java runtime such us Mysaifu, etc. I would like to stick with what is packaged with JME if possible.
    If anybody assist me or direct me to an online documentation on how to do this. All help is greatly appreciated :-)

    I had some success installing on a real Mobile 5 device [http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5344195]
    There is a link to a doc on the main download page, item 5 under How to Install. [http://java.sun.com/javame/downloads/sdk30ea.jsp] I used this for the real device, Treo 700w. Did not try it with an emulator.
    The support looks to be an emulator rather than a JVM per say. But then again I could be wrong on that. I too had poked around looking for a JVM, CrEme, J9, etc..
    I do have a commercial app installed on the Treo that uses IBM's J9, which is seems requires a contact with a sales person to get ahold of. I had hoped to find something that might clue me in on how to "hook up" my own J2ME app with the J9 installed by the commercial package. But I've pretty much decided to get a real J2ME handset rather than continue to waste my time hacking up something with WM. Now the question is which one makes a good reference platform?

  • I purchased Photoshop CC but I already have Lightroom 5.1 installed. Do I need to re-install the Lightroom download that comes with the purchase of Photoshop CC?

    As  you bought the CC plan of Photoshop plus Lightroom, you should uninstall your standalone copy of Lr as it may interfere with the correct working of the CC version, and install the CC version.
    I don't think that's true at the moment; the CC version of LR5 is identical to the stand-alone version, and it will interwork with Photoshop in the same way.
    However, when LR6 is released then that comes free with CC but not with the stand-alone version.  So you might want to follow johnhawk666's advice when LR6 is released, if you haven't done it by then, or you won't get the upgrade to LR6.
    By the way, uninstalling your existing LR5, then installing the CC version (via the CC app) shouldn't alter anything - your settings, catalog etc should be picked up by the new installation.  However, a wise person would back everything up first anyway, just in case!

  • I have an Imac using the old Classic operating system.  The printer I was using died and I need a new printer that will work on the OS 9.1/9.2 operating system.  Does the install disk that comes with the printer allow the computer to communicate with the

    My printer died and I need a printer that is compatable with OS 9.1/9.2.  Some printers say they are compatible with OS 9.1/9.2 but do they need a driver or is it included with the install disk that comes with the printer?

    As long as the printer is accurately described as being compatible with OS 9.1/9.2, if it needs to have software (such as drivers) installed that software should either be included (usual) or downloadable from the net(usually from the manufacyrer's website).
    Not all non-Apple printers need drivers installed. Some, such as many Postscript ones that connect via ethernet, are quite comfortable using the LaserWriter 8 printware that's part of OS 9. Some of those, though, may need to have a model-specific PPD (Postscript Printer Description) installed, a small document that informs the printware of the capabilities of the printer.

    If you still have the receipt or other proof of purchase, you can ask Apple to send you the serial. Otherwise, bad luck mate.. Good news is, you can now buy Logic Pro 9 from App Store for just 199 USD
