Step-by-step instructions: Ubuntu installation for your Intel QC71 gaming laptop

 

Here you can learn step-by-step how to install Ubuntu 20.04 on your Intel QC71 notebook. These instructions are also valid for other Linux distributions based on Ubuntu, like Kubuntu, Xubuntu or Linux Mint.

1. If you haven't done already, download your desired installation file (.iso) from the official Ubuntu website and create a bootable medium (e.g. USB stick). You can find instructions here.

 

2. Connect your Ubuntu boot stick to your Intel QC71 notebook, turn it on and immediately press the F10 key repeatedly until a small blue window for selecting the boot medium appears. Select your Ubuntu stick with your arrow keys and confirm the selection with the Enter key. Now your notebook will not be booted as usual from your built-in SSD, but from your Ubuntu boot stick.

 

3. A black screen will then appear with several selection options. Use your arrow keys to select "Install Ubuntu (safe graphics)" and press Enter again.

 

4. Follow the Ubuntu installation instructions and install the operating system on your notebook. Please make sure to activate both options "Download updates while installing Ubuntu" and "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware and additional media formats" !

 

5. After completing the installation, please download the following TUXEDO driver packages, which will be installed quickly and automatically by double-clicking. Please install according to the following order!

5.1 tuxedo-keyboard
5.2 tuxedo-keyboard-ite
5.3 tuxedo-tomte
5.4 tuxedo-control-center

Please note: If there are more than one .deb installation files in one directory, please download the latest file.

 

6. After installing these 4 packages, please reboot your system and you are done!
Your XMG FUSION 15, Eluktronics Mag-15, Aftershock Vapor 15 etc. is now TUXEDO-approved for a flawless Linux use. Have fun!

Contact

We are personally there for you Monday to Friday from 9 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 5 pm (German time). But also outside these times you can contact our team with your request by e-mail. Please include your customer number, the model name of your laptop or PC and as detailed a description of your request as possible. The more details you give us, the faster we can process your request!

We might not be able to answer questions about third party hardware or software. For questions about popular open source software (Thunderbird, Filezilla...) please contact a forum e.g. ubuntuforums.org. The research effort for application specific setup is immense and not manageable at the current time. Basic compatibility questions e.g. are of course still welcome!

For orders outside the EU there might be additional duties, taxes or charges needed to be paid by the customer. These don't have to be paid to the supplier, but to local authorities. Please check for any details with your local customs or tax authorities before ordering! But as a benefit you don't have to pay German taxes, this means you save up to 19%!
Due to the Brexit and the associated changes, there may be delays of several days in customs clearance on site for deliveries to the UK. This is not within our sphere of influence, so we ask for your understanding.
