I just bought this new IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRU8 (82X7CTO-1WW) laptop, with no OS and the following specs:

Core i3-1305U / 128GB UFS 3.1 on systemboard / Intel UHD Graphics / Intel SoC (System on Chip) platform / 8GB soldered RAM.

This laptop is intended for bedside internet/mail/light stuff and I don't want to keep Windows 11 (It's not even activated).

I failed to install Ubuntu, installed Windows 11 (no issue - updated the UEFI flash BIOS to LTCN27WW) then tried again with Ubuntu, with the same result, but I don't quite understand the issue:

Boot result:

From what I read here, the ACPI error is just a warning.

I take it the issue could be:

  • Boot args (cat/ proc/cmdline)
  • Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
  • UUID=61365d15-0429-49df-93c7-ddd9bbebde80 does not exist

So I'm working on it, loading the "Try it" version.

By the way, when I boot with the USB drive trial, Ubuntu runs fine, everything works as with Windows 11 (well, I didn't try the fingerprint).

Here's a screenshot of GParted:

At Lenovo's BIOS update's website there's also an Intel Management Engine 16.1 Firmware that's advised to update, but the readme says not to, unless you know why, and I don't, so I didn't.

So, from what I found out, there's a lot of things one can try.

Or, maybe the usb key (or the downloaded image) is corrupted. I also read I could try with Ubuntu 23.04 (although it's not an LTS version).

And that's what I did : laptop got rid of Windows 11, Ubuntu 23.04 is running just fine (I kept trying and it seems 22.04 was the issue, not the iso nor the stick).

Addendum : 27c6:550a FingerPrint Driver for Linux is available at : Goodix driver

The procedure worked just fine for me ! (simply follow the Readme.txt)

Elle est pas belle la vie ?
