I ended up using 6a and 7a in the instructions and seem to have a really stable build now with the type cover working. Was a pain at the start but now it's easy after having done it so many times. There's plenty of sites with instructions how to do that. Booting would just take me to UEFI screen so had to use the liveCD and then recreate the grub menu. I reinstalled probably 6 times, had to reinstall the grub menu because it disappeared whenever I did a clean install. Sometimes the system would just freeze but every time at this point the SP4 would no longer restart or shutdown, just sat on the Ubuntu logo and the little dots stopped moving indicating it had stopped. The site recommends to use fridgecow's kernel but I'd get as far 7b in the instructions and then have issues. If Secure Boot also cannot be disabled for whatever reason, such computers will likely only be able to install Win 10/8.1 = under M$’s full control.I'm brand new to Ubuntu and I got my SP4 working with Ubuntu 16.04LTS using the instructions here As such, systems that support Connected Standby are incapable of booting Legacy BIOS operating systems. Furthermore, if the computer supports the “Connected Standby” feature of Windows 8 (which allows devices to have power management comparable to smartphones, with an almost instantaneous return from standby mode), then the firmware is not permitted to contain a Compatibility Support Module (CSM). With the release of Windows 8 in October 2012, Microsoft’s certification requirements now require that computers include firmware that implements the UEFI specification. Likely, the unreliability of Surface devices is because most of them have been configured by M$ with the “Connected Standby” feature, which is like mobile smartphones, eg able to pre-fetch emails from the Internet even after being switched off.Ĭomputers with “Connected Standby” are prohibited by M$ from having the Legacy BIOS/CSM setting = must use UEFI mode for booting an OS/software.
