[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Abe.to75:
You are absolutely right :)

These are the steps I followed:

- Minimal installation of Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS

- After reboot, installation the android-libbase package

- Download of the package ubuntu-yb.tar.gz and installation of the linux-image and wireless-regdb packages

- Copied contents of 'rootfs' directory to the root fs.

After that, I have:

- Working keyboard and digitizer

- Screen orientation acting weird but fixed locking the screen

- No sound.

Whenever I suspend the session/reboot, I still have a working keyboard but no light (the keyboard stays black) and no digitizer.

After that, I did:

- Update android-libbase to the last version + required dependencies

- Installed the updated linux-image and the .deb packages for sound and screen

As a result, I lose the keyboard and no attempt to restore to previous condition is successful, so i end up trying with a new installation.

On the other end, the LiveCD image (based on Debian, if I'm not wrong), is working perfectly for me (I find it more responsive than Ubuntu, even if it's a live) but the "Install Debian" function on the live is not working.

So, in the end:

-I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong, but I'm too noob to understand what...

-If there was a simple way to install the live it would be amazing

Any hint?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] jekhor:
First, try to download and install .deb's from here: https://github.com/jekhor/yogabook-linux/releases/tag/livecd-5.10.2

Then try to install touch-keyboard from here: https://github.com/jekhor/chromiumos_touch_keyboard/releases/tag/1.4.1 (it does not depend on android library anymore).

If any .deb (except linux-image) fails to install, try to recompile it from sources (located in the same place as binaries).

I think this should help.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Abe.to75:
Jekhor, tried. Unfortunately no luck with the .deb, once I install the new linux-image I lose the keyboard and find no way to revert back.

The live image is the one I tried and I cannot find a way to install it.

What if I try to Install a standard Debian and then to update the linux-image?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Abe.to75:
UPDATE: after a second reboot the keyboard is back and fully functional. The digitizer is not working thou..anything else I should install?

Plus, every time I suspend the system the keyboard works but doesn't switch on (basically it stays black)

UPDATE 2: started with a clean install of Ubuntu 20.10 (normal install, NOT minimal) and now keyboard and sound work perfectly! :)

Just 1 thing: no way to get the integrated webcam to work, the hardware is not recognized. Is there any trick to make it work?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Abe.to75:
Guys, anybody had success with the integrated webcam? No matter what I do, I found no way to get it recognized by the system.

Привет товарищи. Я новичок в Linux. Хотел Ubuntu 18.04 по йоге. Установлены все пакеты .deb, но клавиатура не работает, горит но не работает. Что я сделал не так? Или на ubuntu 18.04 плохо поставить? Тоже не уверен, но пакет alsa-ucm-conf-yogabook_1.1_all.deb вроде не встал

Вы можете сказать мне, в чем дело?

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Zenvinnie:
Hi,

Im pretty much a novice here but i've tried to follow the steps and I just cant get this working, except when I use the LiveCD, then everything is working perfectly.

Is there any way to use the content of the LiveCD and just install all of that?

Perhaps this is very easy for the experienced but i cannot for the life of me figure out how.

Thanks in advance!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Txori:
Hello, I've been resurrecting my YogaBook recently. Since I want something simple, I installed Fedora 36, and a lot things are working right out of the box:

Screen orientation

Touchscreen

Wifi

Bluetooth

Keyboard lit

Keyboard as a giant touchpad

Pen button to switch on/off keyboard

Sleep / wake up button

Sleep / wake up lid

I am trying to make the touch keyboard working, and I need some help.

So I managed to compile and install Jekhor's Touch Keyboard. But I have some trouble running it afterwards. Here the details about my quest: https://github.com/jekhor/chromiumos_touch_keyboard/issues/8

I would be very thankful if someone could help me with that symlink problem.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] vdelf:
Thanks for the tip! After a bit of fiddeling i even got the halo keyboard working. Very nice!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Txori:
If you have insight on how to make the halo keyboard working on Fedora, I'm listening 😁

Edit: I just saw your response on GitHub. I'll try that!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Txori:
Hello. I just turned on my Yoga Book after a few months, and the last Fedora update added the display of battery percentage.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] JeromeKxda:
I am interested to get your solution please. I do not understand jekhor instructions to compile the kernel he created so Fedora could be my only accessible solution.

EDIT : sorry for asking. I found the Github link you gave earlier.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] JeromeKxda:
I am doing some testing with my Lenovo Yoga Book(s) - Indeed I have two Lenovo Yoga Books Windows :)

Surprisingly, Ubuntu 22.04 (not the last to get the LTS one) though LiveCD looks disorientated, not halo keyboard light and tiny fonts and graphics. On the other hand, Fedora 37 looks much cleaner at LiveCD. I have found that Linux Kernel 5.17 has implemented a lot of x86 tablets improvements including Yoga Books ones. Ubuntu 22.04 is on hernel 5.15 whereas Fedora 37 is on kernel 6. That must be the reason why !

Halo keayboard was not working on Live Fedora 37. Only switching light with the pen touch works then.

More to come soon.

@jekhor

Hello, Jekhor,

I recently got a YB1 Win10 version, booted your livecd, it's very smooth and verything works out, but one thing if I may ask, is that possible to install livecd to harddisk so I can install and remove packages? Many thanks!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Emirbjz:
I recently tried to switch my X91F to linux using Ubuntu. Tried a lot of thing and nothing worked as need it. Then, after reading this thread and many more, i installed Ubuntu 22.04, the basic things worked, but others didn't i then installed the Jhekor TouchKeyboard Deb and the the halo keyboard worked, but no backlight. A few day later, i tried to upgrade the Kernel using Mainline to 6.4 and the Halo keyboard now works 99% of it, i can even switch to Pen mode. BUT No matter what, i can't make the tablet to output sound, i tried a loooot of things, even the Jhekor debs and nothing, i hope someone can help with this.

As many other, i tried the Live CD from Jhekor Github, and everything works, even the sound, wish i could install that.

Thanks for the Hard work.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Emirbjz:
I was trying more think and in the end i just installed ubuntu 20.10, after that i installed everything that Jekhor github has for his github release 5.10-rc3 (The tar.gz files) using his Wiki (change the repositories before, link almost at the end of this post), disable Wayland and after this, most of the thinks works, so i decided to call the day and that's what im using right now.

Things that works:

-Sound (you just have to manually change from headphones to speakers)

-Halo keyboard (no switch betwen Pen and Keyboard, just keyboard and mouse)

-WIFI

-Bluetooth (no very stable)

Things that are not working:

-Switch betwen Halo Keyboard and pen

-On screen keyboard works sometimes, not very stable.

-Screen Rotation did not work correctly, but after installing Gnome extension, i got an onscreen rotation extension.

Things that i did:

-Using opera browser because supports touchscreen gestures (i also made firefox do this, but is not by default)

- CHANGE THE REPOSITORIES to get some updates as explained here.

-Install ubuntu restricted extras.

-Hold the Kernel update because if the kernes updates to 5.15 or more, the drives broke.

Hope this helps to other people
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] imcfarla2003:
I have recently created a live-build config for Mint LMDE 6 (Faye) on the yogabook with a 6.5.3 kernel with all the code from jekhor's 5.x kernel updated.

Working:

Sound, Keyboard, Pen Button, Wifi, Touchscreen

Needs enabling:

Automatic Scren Rotation (Switch it on in display settings)

Not working:

Camera, Bluetooth

Other software included:

efibootmgr

The git repo can be found here: https://github.com/imcfarla2003/yogabook-livecd-LMDE

You'll need the git version of live-build from https://salsa.debian.org/live-team/live-build.git

I'll try and find somewhere to post the iso but it is a bit big at 1.5Gb

I have included efibootmgr because I have found you can get the yogabook to boot off the SD card by default so no need for installing!

This command seems to do the trick:

$ efibootmgr -o 0000,0001,2001,2002,2003
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] imcfarla2003:
ISOs as promised

Debian (Bookworm) with Gnome ISO - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvNxJp4TWaJKqAVgxRt3SQ2yUfO5?e=7FFBlu

Linux Mint FAYE ISO - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvNxJp4TWaJKqASu7o4ScQ6rJ8T2?e=f7M8Do

I normally use RUFUS to wirte the iso to a microsd card (ensuring to provision some persistent space) and then hold volume up and press power to give me the boot menu.

Choose to boot from the SD Card and winthin a few moment (a minute or so on first boot) you will be in your preferred desktop environment.

You may need to select the "speaker" device rather than "headphones" to hear some sound the first time through.

As stated above I can't get the battery to show yet (not detected in ACPI tables) and the camera doesn't work.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Emirbjz:
This is really good, the downside is that being a live boot you can not customize the desktop or install softwares
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] imcfarla2003:
If you follow my instructions and enable persistence then you can install software and keep it up to date as well.

I've installed Ubuntu 23.10, keyboard is working well with touch-keyboard_1.2.1_amd64.deb. I've installed also alsa-ucm-conf-yogabook_1.1_all.deb but still I get dummy output. Tried with Ubuntu 22 and latest Mint, but sound never works. Any help please?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Emirbjz:
At the moment, you need to use one of the methods above, either using 20.10 and add everything or the live iso shared above, there is no driver included in the newest kernel for the sound card
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] criolf:
Hello all!

I've installed the ISO (thank you @imcfarla2003 !) with permanence, biut unfortunately it's extremely limited - no terminal, Firefox doesn't start, no option to install/update it. Can you please add a more complete version or give a solution to fix the current one? Thank you!
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] cesariohomens:
How did @imcfarla2003 compiled the 6.5.3 kernel with sound? It would be great to have ubuntu 23.10 workin in this laptop.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] imcfarla2003:
I have uploaded an ubuntu 22.04.3 iso to https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvNxJp4TWaJKqAgLnnYaY9Aimnxn?e=IIYgbc

This uses the same 6.5.3 kernel I have in the other ISOs.

The live user password is live - I haven't got it to login automatically yet.

The same applies to changing the default output device from headphones to speakers

You also need to change the display from 200% to 100% to go through the initial setup

For space reasons It is a ubuntu-minimal-desktop so to get a full desktop you'll need to open terminal and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-standard
snap install snap-store firefox

The problem with the sound is that the ucm files are going into the wrong folder - I made a symlink from

/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/cht-yogabook to /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/cht-yogabook

and

/usr/share/alsa/ucm2/platforms to /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/platforms
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] imcfarla2003:
if you installed the mint iso the terminal is called zutty and firefox is the esr version
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] imcfarla2003:
I can't get the OV2740 driver in the 6.5.3 kernel to do anything - it seems that they have put it behind the atomisp and that has not yet been updated to support the correct i2c protocols

It would be interesting to see what you have achieved using the udev rule to enable haptic feedback.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] cesariohomens:
@imcfarla2003 I've created the symbolic links

sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/cht-yogabook /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/cht-yogabook

sudo ln -s /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/platforms /usr/share/alsa/ucm2/conf.d/platforms

But still sound is not working :(
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Txori:
Hello guys, it's been a while. I just found my Yogabook again in some obscure drawer. Since I compiled and installed jekhor's keyboard on fedora, I can see that you made great progress with different distros. That's good. So today I tried Chrome OS Flex, for a change.

The installation went nicely, but it's lacking most of the hardware (wifi, bluetooth, sound...).

Right now, it is only working as a tablet, and I have to plug a wifi dongle to have internet. But since the halo keyboard is working as a giant touchpad, I tried to compile and run jekhor's keyboard as I did for Fedora.

So I activated linux and went with the to-do list I wrote at the time:

Download chromiumos_touch_keyboard by jekhor :
[URL]https://github.com/jekhor/chromiumos_touch_keyboard[/URL]

Open csv.h and add this line :
#include <limits>

Install tools to compile :
sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential cmake

Compile project :
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make
sudo make install

Copy compiled binary to /usr/sbin :
sudo cp touch_keyboard_handler /usr/sbin

Copy layout files to /etc/touch_keyboard :
cd ..
sudo mkdir /etc/touch_keyboard
sudo cp touch-hw.csv /etc/touch_keyboard
sudo cp layout-touchpad.csv /etc/touch_keyboard
sudo cp layouts/YB1-X9x-pc105.csv /etc/touch_keyboard/layout.csv

Everything went fine until I discovered there's no /dev/input/ folder to handle the halo input. So I don't know what to symlink to /dev/touch_keyboard for the keyboard to work, and I'm a bit stuck here. Do you have ideas?
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Txori:
So I tried a few silly things, but I guess we can only wait for kernel to be upgraded to 6.5.x

Meanwhile, I'm trying @imcfarla2003 isos. They are fantastic :)

Just curious...what are you looking for specifically that is special/unique that doesn't exist in actual Stock Roms provided monthly by Google? Can't get more stock than actual Stock.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Usually that would be a developer that's based solely on stock that would keep the graphics drivers updated with speed tweaks Etc. But it looks like those days are gone.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
Back in the OG Droid, Droid Razr Maxx days I used to fully invest time and energy to run custom Roms as I also wanted to take advantage of overclocking CPU to maximize the performance of my device (which typically were underclocked by the OEMs). But, I haven't had to go that route in some time. I find the Stock experience provided by Google to be pretty good from a performance standpoint and the Pixel XL experience as far as monthly updates has also been exceptional. If you still have your heart set on having control of CPU clock speed settings and additional custom tweaks not available in the Stock experience - you should look at some of the custom kernels (or Roms) available. I believe there are custom kernels that will run with the true Stock Rom that will provide you greater flexibility.

Good luck.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] LOVE ME PLEASE:
Thanks!

Funny, I am currently running an custom Kernel on top of stock Android. You're absolutely right about Google's stock builds and performance. You gave great information because that's in fact what I am doing to date. Custom ROMs today are becoming too bloated with issues and issues. Again, thanks, and have a great day.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
I have been thinking about at least experimenting with a custom kernel. Out of curiousity - which one are you running and what has been your experience? Why did you opt for the one you chose? (battery life, performance tweaks, customizations, etc...)?

Thanks
