Delete or rename the Ubuntu live USB /EFI directory, it will not support the Stream tablet's 32-bit UEFI.

Ubuntu audio loopback iso#

Also download a current 64-bit Fedora ISO file (since it contains the 32-bit EFI bootloader missing in Ubuntu). I used UNetbootin to create the live USB since it needs to be writable. It seems better to use lighter weight flavors such as Xubuntu or Lubuntu on the Stream.

I tried regular Ubuntu 19.04 but the installation hung from some reason. Download Ubuntu and burn it to a USB drive, I used Xubuntu 19.04. Installation instructions for Ubuntu 19.04 on the HP Stream tabletД¬reate a Ubuntu live USB to boot on the Stream's 32-bit UEFI firmware Ubuntu installs very easily on the Stream, as easily as it would on any other computer once the live USB is modified to accommodate booting on the Stream's 32-bit UEFI firmware: All devices that I know of are working now with the exception of the cameras.

Ubuntu audio loopback Bluetooth#

Bluetooth works natively now and audio (including automatic headphone detection) works without copying additional files. U buntu 19.04 is working well on my 2014 HP Stream 7 Bay Trail tablet, there is new device support enabled with the 5.0 kernel. The installation instructions are the same as for 19.04 below.

All devices are supported except for the cameras. I tested Xu buntu 19.10 on my Stream 7 and it is working well. There is also a GNOME desktop version which successfully enabled auto screen rotation on the Stream. It was hard to gauge since the battery indicator did not work. One bonus was the battery life seemed much longer with Debian unless I was just imagining it. I did use the 'non-free' image which includes the firmware but apparently not all. Even with its 5.3 kernel however, Bluetooth and the battery indicator were not working on my Stream 7 so possibly all required firmware is not included.

There are solutions for this online, I found one here that eventually worked.Дebian 10.2.0 has a 32-bit version available and also has one big advantage, the 32-bit bootloader is already included in the live image so the live USB will boot on the Stream's 32-bit UEFI without modification. Also, the Xfce desktop version is the lightest weight and probably best suited for the Stream but it gave me this additional audio error: ' Connection to Pulseaudio failed. The 'Audio Firmware installation' instructions below will have to be followed after installation. It is based on Ubuntu 18.04 however so it does not include the firmware for the Stream's audio. Mint 19.3 has a 32-bit version available with the 5.0 kernel so there is kernel support for all devices now. They use the same installer as Ubuntu so the installation procedures are mostly the same: I tested them briefly and included some observations below. They do however introduce some difficulties getting all the devices to work. There are some recent 32-bit alternatives to Ubuntu's 64-bit images that save memory utilization on the Stream's 1 GB of RAM.

Ubuntu audio loopback install#

I could then run the installation from either the desktop Install icon or reboot the Live USB and select the Install option from the boot menu and the installation completed successfully. I then went to System => GParted and deleted all of the partitions on the internal eMMC disk. I was able to fix it for now by deleting all partitions using the ' Try without installing' option from the Live USB boot menu to boot to the live desktop. The new bug seems to be reported here so a fix may be forthcoming. This is a new grub error, different from the long-standing grub installation error mentioned here when there is no internet connection. Executing 'grub-install /dev/mmcblk1' failed. The new error appears near the end of the installation with a popup box: ' Unable to install GRUB in /dev/mmcblk1. I fixed it by deleting all partitions off the internal eMMC disk before beginning the installation. The installation instructions are the same as 19.04 below with the exception that a new grub installation error has been introduced when doing a fresh installation.

I tested Xu buntu 20.04 on my Stream 7 and it is working well.

Ubuntu audio loopback update#

Update - 30 April 2020 - Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Xubuntu 20.04 LTS is the long-term support version so I will probably just stick with that for now, the installation instructions are below. I think it would be possible to install the necessary grub files manually but I did not pursue it. It only creates the directory structure as far as /boot/efi and that directory is empty. I tested Xu buntu 20.10 on my Stream 7, the installation completed without error but the Stream does not boot, the installation does not create the /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu directory containing the necessary grubia32.efi file.
