UPDATES



-Added how to enable upper mouse buttons

- Unfortunately, the two issues below are present in 14.10 as well, both without and with the intel graphics installer(1.08). However, they are significantly rarer and I am using 14.10 happily.

- Upon opening the lid, the screen is sometimes frozen after the laptop has been closed (suspended) for a while. This usually fixes itself after a few seconds and I get redirected to the log in prompt, but once I had to kill X.

- The screen is definitely iffy after suspend. Not necessarily the touch input, but there are graphical glitches and scrolling becomes laggy. I will test with 14.10 and the latest intel drivers when I have more time.



Original Post

Hi everyone,





I thought I would start a thread where we can share tips and tricks on what makes Linux run smoothly on the 12.5" TP Yoga 2nd gen. I installed Ubuntu 14.04 Unity desktop on mine yesterday and it has been running great so far. Below you can take part of what is working (almost everything) and what is not (almost nothing) =). Many of the tips and scripts I include here are from this guy and the previous discussion on running Linux on the first generation TP Yoga and only include minor modifications of my own so credit goes to the original authors. I got the TP Yoga with 8gb of ram, i5, 256GB SSD (samsung evo, upgraded myself, it's easy ), 1080p multitouch screen with active digitizer.
