This definitely works on both ways.

I was just trying to install Ubuntu 16.04 which worked fine a couple of months ago. The thing is, the entire thing does format but when I try to log into my Account only the cursor works and nothing else, I cannot open a terminal or anything for that matter.

I don't know what happened, but only recently I found that there is a webcam issue! I cant access webcam through cheese. Windows is just fine! It's all about Ubuntu.

I'm testing 18.04 with Wayland and I have needed to do a couple of changes:

• xrandr does not work on Wayland, but this works great: https://github.com/udifuchs/icc-brightness (found here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=97883)
• Using "Windows 2012" instead of "Windows 2009" in grub gets my brightness controls and suspend working when using intel graphics (i.e. nouveau is blacklisted, nvidia not installed for now).
• With nvidia drivers installed but blacklisted, "Windows 2012" fails to suspend and "Windows 2009" fails to control brightness. Removing acpi_osi from the config gets both brightness and suspend working, but causes the lspci freeze.
• Using acpi_rev_override=5 (from Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee#764) instead of acpi_osi gets brightness, suspend, and bbswitch working without freeze. lspci still fails with the GPU off and suspend fails with the GPU turned on fails, but I find this to be tolerable.

Small and can be figured out fairly easily, but you have eDP1 and it should be eDP-1.

Thanks for taking the time to document your experiences and tips though!

Has anybody information regarding this problem? We should push for a fix that is independent of the operating system.

Open a terminal and type the following:

sudo nano /etc/systemd/system/wifi-resume.service
Now paste the script in there with a right click. Exit with CTRL + X and press Y to save. Now to activate it: sudo systemctl enable wifi-resume.service

Script:

#/etc/systemd/system/wifi-resume.service
#sudo systemctl enable wifi-resume.service

Mine is a 2016 R3 with 960m. But the bios does not show the option of USB boot, just NIC boot. Any idea what might cause the problem?

did you found a way to controll the lights of your r13 on ubuntu?

I've installed Ubuntu LTS today using your guide, with the 367 drivers that you recommended (before the update bit).
However these give issues with recovering from suspension.

A colleague used 378, and did not have this issue.
After updating myself, the issue has also disappeared.

It might be best to update the guide to use 378 as the recommended version?

Hi, thanks a lot for this guide. I still had issues getting Ubuntu installed on my 13 R3 (installer refused to recognize my second m.2 drive), no matter what BIOS settings I picked, so I just want to mention that Pop OS from System76 works amazingly for me.

Literally all I did was turn off Secure Boot in the BIOS and turn on Legacy Boot Options (left everything else stock, including SATA/RAID settings) and clicked through the install wizard. It immediately recognized my second drive & allowed me to install to it.

Everything works out of the box: Nvidia video card, Suspend, all keyboard buttons, etc. One exception is brightness, but I'm using Redshift for that. Been running this setup for about a week now.

I know there are a ton of other Ubuntu flavors out there, but since most (none?) of them support Nvidia without a lot of jankiness, thought it worth mentioning. It's been amazing to have everything work this well, this easily...maybe it's worth a mention in the doc for others struggling through getting Ubuntu installed on their R3 :)

I also need to add blacklist for WLAN like this:

rfkill list then what I saw is soft blocked and hard blocked are yes.
So, I need to add `blacklist dell-rbtn' into /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
