The script is called 'isorespin.sh' and works with all official desktop 64-bit Ubuntu (http://releases.ubuntu.com) and Ubuntu flavoured ISOs (https://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu-flavours), Linux Mint ISOs (https://www.linuxmint.com/download.php), KDE neon ISOs (https://neon.kde.org/download), elementary OS ISOs (https://elementary.io), Peppermint OS (https://peppermintos.com/) and BackBox Linux (https://backbox.org/). And whilst Kali is not directly supported the Kali Metapackages (https://tools.kali.org/kali-metapackages) can be added when respinning an ISO. isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-18.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso --apollo Update the ISO with the latest mainline kernel
Respinng an ISO is controlled by either running the script with flags and arguments (CLI) or selection options and values (GUI) and briefly these are as follows: -h or --help will display the 'usage' message. -v or --version displays the version of the script. --check if the version of the script is the latest or can be upgraded. -i or --iso must be specified and is the name (including the full or relative path) of the ISO to be respun. -u or --update will update the kernel to the latest Ubuntu Kernel Team kernel builds located at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline. -k or --kernel replaces the kernel with the version specified by the argument or value which can be any of the Ubuntu Kernel Team kernel builds located at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline and is passed as the directory or folder name without the trailing '/' (e.g. '--kernel v4.11-rc7'). --rolling-list shows what new kernels are available for the kernel types of release, proposed, testing and unstable and which can be installed using the '--rolling-' option. --rolling-release will update the kernel to the latest kernel for that specific release. --rolling-release-hwe updates the kernel to the latest HWE (Hardware Enablement) or LTS Enablement Stack kernel for an LTS release. --rolling-release-hwe-edge updates the kernel to the upcoming HWE Stack kernel if available. --rolling-proposed updates the kernel to the proposed next release kernel from the proposed repository if available. --rolling-proposed-hwe updates the kernel to the proposed next LTS HWE kernel from the proposed repository if available. --rolling-proposed-hwe-edge updates to the proposed next upcoming LTS HWE kernel from the proposed repository if available. --rolling-testing updates the kernel with the latest kernel from the pre-release and test kernel repository if available. --rolling-testing-hwe updates the kernel with the latest LTS HWE kernel from the pre-release and test kernel repository if available. --rolling-testing-hwe-edge updates the kernel with the latest upcoming LTS HWE kernel from the pre-release and test kernel repository if available. --rolling-unstable updates the kernel with the latest kernel from the unstable repository. --rolling-unstable-hwe updates the kernel with the latest LTS HWE kernel from the unstable repository if available. --rolling-unstable-hwe-edge updates the kernel with the latest upcoming LTS HWE kernel from the unstable repository if available. -r or --repository adds the specified repository to the respun ISO. -p or --package will install a single package or a set of packages (if enclosed in quotes) that are available to the ISO and would typically be installed using the 'apt-get install <package>' command. This option is very useful in preseeding your ISO with packages you always normally install immediately after booting and will help resolve the issue of the ISO running out of space as a result of multiple installations. For example I typically include "ssh openssh-server inxi" when respinning an ISO for personal use. -l or --local allows local Debian binary packages to be installed within the respun ISO. Care must be taken in specifying the order of multiple packages to preserve any dependencies and of course all dependencies must be met for the packages to be successfully installed. -f or --file will copy either the specified files or directories to the respun ISO under '/usr/local/bin'. Although intended to allow local binaries or shell scripts to be saved on the respun ISO there is no limitation on the actual type of file that can be added. -s or --storage adds a specified amount of persistent storage to the respun ISO. A size must be specified although there is some flexibility on how much is allocated. The minimum size is 128MB which keeps the size of the ISO down but means that once a USB is created the persistence partition needs to be manually resized for normal usage. Alternatively a larger size can be specified to avoid the immediate need to resize as this can always be performed later. It is recommended to use a realistic amount somewhere between 1GB and 2GB to maintain the balance between a practical but usable ISO. When creating a respun ISO with persistence the rEFInd boot manager will automatically be selected for booting the ISO although it will also need to be selected through the '-b' option if requiring the ISO to also install rEFInd. When using the GUI the persistence partition size can be defined using the slider which limits the size between 128MB and 2048MB. -b or --boot will add either the 32-bit GRUB boot loader (which is added by default) the rEFInd boot manager or a Linuxium bootscript which currently is required for booting on a lot of the current Intel Apollo Lake devices. To leave the default 64-bit GRUB boot loader unchanged the 'GRUB-64' parameter value should be specified. -w or --work-directory is used to specify where the ISO will be respun. This is primarily for overcoming the lack of space associated with mini PCs and allows the respinning to be run on temporarily connected external storage media such as a drive or USB. Once the storage has been connected and mounted it can be passed as a parameter. Likewise if a directory is then created on the mounted storage this can be passed as the argument or value for this option to ensure there is sufficient space (i.e. at least 10 GB) for the script to run. -d or --download will download Debian binary packages from the respun ISO using the 'apt-get download' command and save them under '/usr/src'. If combined with the '-o' option the Debian binary package will be accessible after respinning the ISO. -e or --erase will remove Debian binary packages from the respun ISO using the 'apt-get purge' command. -c or --command will execute the supplied argument as a 'bash' command. Care must be taken when embedding single or double quotes within the argument as they are subject to interpretation. For more complex commands it is often both advisable and easier to write a simple shell script and use the '-c' option to execute it as part of respinning. If the command includes an 'update-initramfs' then the ISO's boot kernel and/or initramfs will be updated to the latest currently installed versions on the ISO. This advanced functionality allows a kernel and/or initramfs to be both updated and then booted using commands rather than through kernel package installation requiring the use of '-u', '-k', '-p', '-l' or '--rolling' options. -o or --output will save either the specified files or directories to an output directory called 'isorespin'. This is very useful when wanting to extract files or packages that have been created or downloaded as part of respinning the ISO. -g or --grub will add the specified kernel boot parameters both to the GRUB/rEFInd boot menu and to the default GRUB settings or if an empty ("") argument is specified then the the ISO's initial kernel boot parameters will be removed. -t or --template will add the contents of the specified file as respinning options. --atom include the flags, packages, scripts and commands that I recommend when respinning an ISO for a device with an Intel Atom (Bay Trail or Cherry Trail) processor and mirrors the manual invocations of '-l rtl8723bX_4.12.0_amd64.deb -f linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -f wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -f linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh -f wrapper-linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh -c wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -c wrapper-linuxium-install-broadcom-drivers.sh'. --apollo include the flags, packages, scripts and commands that I recommend when respinning an ISO for a device with an Intel Apollo Lake processor and mirrors the manual invocations of '-b Linuxium -p binutils -f update-modules'. --server creates a pseudo server ISO by removes the 'ubuntu-desktop' task and installing 'ubuntu-server' as well as creating 'ubuntu' as the default user without a password and downloading the latest version of 'linservin.sh' to '/usr/local/bin' for convenience when installing. The '--server' option is only supported with Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 desktop ISOs at the moment and as a CLI option. --key adds GPG keys to the APT keyring on the respun ISO. Only available as a CLI option. --upgrade performs an 'apt-get upgrade' on the ISO's packages. Only available as a CLI option. --dist-upgrade performs an 'apt-get dist-upgrade' on the ISO's packages. Only available as a CLI option. --interactive allows you to manually enter commands to modify the ISO. Only available as a CLI option. --debug redirects the output from executing the commands behind an option to the log file. Only available as a CLI option. The script can either be run as a local script or it can be installed by copying the script to '/usr/local/bin' where it will be accessible for all users after the script has been made executable using the 'chmod' command ('sudo chmod 755 isorespin.sh'). Depending on the options and their complexity the respinning will take quite a few minutes and the script provides updates on its progress whilst running. The respun ISO is created with a new name derived from the original ISO name and includes indicators of the options used like 'persistence' or the kernel version for example with full details being written to the log file.
isorespin.sh -h The version of the script can either be displayed by entering: isorespin.sh -v or it can be seen from the top of the script's 'main' menu:
The script can be run using the CLI by specifying options with arguments in any order. If the script is started without any parameters it first checks to see if it can run the GUI and if so starts with the main selection menu where all required options should be selected. As seen above the GUI uses two menus with the first being a main menu of most frequently used options and an optional additional menu of the more advance options. For each option selected, a sub-menu will appear to allow the choice or value to be entered. isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso
isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso -u
isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso -k v4.11.6
isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso -u -l rtl8723bs_4.12.0_amd64.deb -f linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -f wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh -c wrapper-linuxium-install-UCM-files.sh
To simplify the creation of a server ISO by respinning an Ubuntu desktop ISO you can use the option '--server'. This option is compatible with existing options so you can create a server ISO that works on both 32-bit and 64-bit bootloaders found on various low cost Intel Atom mini PCs or one that works on the more recent Apollo and Gemini Lake mini PCs. Invocation is as simple as adding '--server' to your 'isorespin.sh' command. For example to create a 'vanilla' server ISO from an Ubuntu 18.04.4 desktop ISO enter: isorespin.sh -i ubuntu/ubuntu-18.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso --server The '--server' option is only supported with Ubuntu 18.04 and 20.04 desktop ISOs at the moment. This is because whilst removing the 'ubuntu-desktop' task essentially creates the base for a server ISO, it still leaves a small number of residual packages that need purging. This new option removes the bulk of these and those that are left are really insignificant.
linuxium@LINUXIUM:~$ linservin.sh -hUsage: /usr/local/bin/linservin.sh [ OPTIONS ]where OPTIONS include '-h' for 'help''-v' for 'version''-c' for 'check' (version)'-y' run automatically with best guessed values (dangerous)linuxium@LINUXIUM:~$ which are self explanatory.
Persistence isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso -u -s 2GB
isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso -g "" -g "i915.fastboot=1 fbcon=rotate:1"
The options have been included in the GUI:
isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso --atom -t wifi.tpl Templates can also be combined. Another example might be when a specific set of packages is required such as for 'ssh' so if the template file 'ssh.tpl' contained '-p "ssh openssh.server"' then respinning with both 'wifi' and 'ssh' is as simple as: isorespin.sh -i ubuntu18.04.desktop.iso --atom -t wifi.tpl -t ssh.tpl There actually is no reason why the '--atom' option cannot be included within a template however it would make sense to call the template something meaningful e.g. 'atom-wifi.tpl'. isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso -t gpd.tpl Taken to an even further level the ISO can be specified as a template e.g. 'bionic.tpl' containing '-i ubuntu-18.04-desktop-amd64.iso' isorespin.sh -t bionic.tpl -t gpd.tpl
where '/<path>/' is the full path to the specified file. Besides using the template file as a base for further individual templates you can also simply recreate the last respun ISO by rerunning with the last generated template: isorespin.sh -i <ISO> -t isorespin.tpl Interactively updating an ISO Sometimes trying to respin an ISO using complex option combinations fails as typically the consequences of running certain commands or their effect on the ISO are not fully known or easily predictable. In these circumstances respinning interactively would be easier and hence the option '--interactive'. This option simply drops you into a 'root' shell where you can manually enter commands to modify the ISO: Simply press 'control-D' when finished to return to respinning the ISO. This option uses the 'script' command to record the interactive session so that it can be included in the log file in full if the '--debug' option is used in conjunction or manipulated to just show a summary of the commands entered for inclusion into the default log file. This command summary is also included in the 'README.isorespin' file that is added to the respun ISO. As a result 'isorespin.sh' now depends on the package 'bsdutils' being installed which should already be the case in most situations. Because 'script' makes a typescript of everything displayed on the terminal it also includes temporary progress text together with cursor movement control codes and colour control codes which may become visible depending on how the log file is viewed. This may not be ideal in every circumstance however it is a compromise believed to be worthwhile considering the functionality gained. For example respinning an ISO and first performing an ''apt update' and then installing the 'ethtool' package interactively: the 'cat' command displays the log file created using the '--debug' option without distractions: Because when performing the 'apt update' command various 'source' files are needed to be downloaded which result in progress text temporarily being displayed on the screen, when the command 'more' is used to display the log file it interprets the 'script' text in the log file differently and shows this colour-highlighted progress text: Using the command 'view' to examine the log file shows all the text and all the control characters so consequently may not be the best way to view the log file: For this particular example the summary of the '--interactive' commands that is also included in README.isorespin: is similar to how this '--interactive' option is documented in the default log file without an additional '--debug' option: Upgrading an ISO vs 'dist-upgrade' The difference between '--upgrade' and '--dist-upgrade' options is best described by the 'man' entry for the commands used by the two options: upgrade upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in /etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without changing the install status of another package will be left at their current version. ... dist-upgrade dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the expense of less important ones if necessary. The dist-upgrade command may therefore remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package files. ...To illustrate the difference we can look at respinning an ISO (Ubuntu 18.04.3) first with the '--upgrade' option together with the '--debug' option which shows that the kernel meta packages are held back: However using the '--dist-upgrade' option with the '--debug' options shows that new kernel packages will be installed as a result of upgrading the kernel meta packages: This example again highlights the usefulness of the '--debug' option in understanding what happens as part of respinning an ISO. Kali Metapackages
Lubuntu is also supported:
dd if=linuxium-v4.12-rc6-ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=4M
sudo systemctl start rtl8723bsbt.service
sudo systemctl start brcmbt.service
and then continue with the resizing:
type efibootmgr 5. If the 'efibootmgr' is not installed enter: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y efibootmgr 6. Next remove any boot entries that may have been created through the earlier installs by entering: for BOOTENTRY in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 do sudo efibootmgr -b ${BOOTENTRY} -B done 7. Now create an Ubuntu boot entry by entering: sudo efibootmgr -c -d /dev/mmcblk0 -p 1 -l \\EFI\\ubuntu\\grubx64.efi -L Ubuntu 8. Remove the LiveUSB and reboot from the newly created Ubuntu entry. Note: If you have a dual boot installation then the ESP partition may be the second partition so modify the '-p 1' in the command above to '-p 2' or to whatever the ESP partition is. Likewise for some devices the eMMC is '/dev/mmcblk1' and not '/dev/mmcblk0' so again modify the command as appropriate. If your device uses a 32-bootloader then use 'bootia32.efi' rather than 'grubx64.efi' in the command. It also sometimes doesn't work first time and requires all the steps to be repeated which should then fix the issue. Intel Apollo Lake devices not booting after installation When installing respun Ubuntu or similar distros on Intel Apollo devices using the '--apollo' option (or '-b Linuxium') one issue that might be encountered is where the EFI partition isn't large enough to store the bootable EFI file. Some Windows installations only create a 60MB partition which after installing the Windows EFI files leaves only around 30MB free. With the later Linux kernel releases the size and number of modules have increased and the generated bootable EFI file is now quite large (over 50MB) and if there is insufficient space for it the resultant installation will not boot. The solution is to increase the size of the EFI partition by following the instructions posted here. Additional information regarding the script Minimizing repeated downloads The rEFInd boot manager (http://www.rodsbooks.com/refind) can be downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/refind/files into the same directory as the script is run from to prevent unnecessary repeated downloads if this is a concern and will make processing quicker. Avoiding new windows opening when respinning To prevent the file manager opening a window each time the script mounts a temporary file system I have run the command 'gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.media-handling automount-open false' first on my system. Lock file The script creates a lock file '.isorespin.sh.lock' in the directory where it is run from in order to ensure exclusive access to the run-time environment. If the script or machine crashes this lock file may need to be removed in order to rerun the script and you will be prompted should this occur. However it is not recommended to run the script in parallel from multiple directories as it is both CPU and I/O intensive and severe performance degradation would occur. Permissions If when running the script you get the error: bash: ./isorespin.sh: Permission denied it means that the script needs to be made executable which can be achieved using the 'chmod' command ('sudo chmod 755 isorespin.sh'). Restrictions You cannot respin an ISO on an OS that doesn't support 'systemd' if you want to use either the '--apollo' or the '-b Linuxium' options. Also you cannot respin an ISO if it doesn't support 'systemd' when using the '--atom', '--apollo' or '-b Linuxium' options: linuxium@LINUXIUMONE:~$ isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso --atom Extracting ISO ... Parallel unsquashfs: Using 4 processors 166333 inodes (175651 blocks) to write [===========================================================/] 175651/175651 100% created 105294 files created 16104 directories created 60921 symlinks created 82 devices created 0 fifos /usr/local/bin/isorespin.sh: The '--atom' option is only compatible with an ISO that uses 'systemd'. linuxium@LINUXIUMONE:~$ You cannot respin an ISO that is EOL (End Of Life): linuxium@LINUXIUMONE:~$ isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso --atom Extracting ISO ... /usr/local/bin/isorespin.sh: ISO is EOL. linuxium@LINUXIUMONE:~$ You cannot run the script on a 32-bit OS: linuxium@LINUXIUMONE:~$ isorespin.sh -i ubuntu-17.10.1-desktop-amd64.iso --apollo /usr/local/bin/isorespin.sh: This script can only be run on a 64-bit (amd64 or x86_64) OS. linuxium@LINUXIUMONE:~$ First download and install Oracle's VirtualBox on Windows and then create a Linux VM from a standard Ubuntu 64-bit desktop ISO and install to a VDI of fixed size (minimum 20GB). Start the new Ubuntu VM and install 'Oracle VM VirtualBox Extension Pack'. You can then download my 'isorespin.sh' script to respin the Ubuntu-based ISO of choice. By installing the extension pack you will also be able to write the respun ISO to a USB using 'dd' from within the Ubuntu VM. Unfortunately 'Bash on Ubuntu on Windows' using 'Windows Subsystem for Linux' does not support 'loop' devices which are required by my script so an Ubuntu VM is the only working alternative at this time. Running the script on Arch Linux Running the script on Arch Linux requires a modified PATH. The simplest way is to run the script as follows: PATH=/usr/sbin:/sbin:/bin:$PATH ./isorespin.sh Additionally to install the required packages it may be necessary to run: sudo pacman -S cdrkit bc libisoburn squashfs-tools dosfstools or similar depending on which packages are missing from you environment. The Linux mainline kernel It is worth noting that certain releases of the mainline kernel include specific core functionality: v4.9 includes the eMMC v5.0 driver required for accessing the internal storage in many devices. v4.11 includes the HDMI audio driver. v4.12 includes the RTL8723BS driver although you will still need the wifi/bt firmware. Kernel freezes Well known and well documented without a permanent fix or so it seems. Kernels after v3.16 seem to include something that caused them to randomly freeze on Intel Atom devices and then the whole system hangs. Subsequently an accepted workaround was recommended to limit the processor (CPU) to a certain power state or 'C-state' and if freezes are encountered then to pass 'intel_idle.max_cstate=1' as a boot parameter. Later kernels have included patches and the current state seems to be reliable enough to ignore the workaround. If however freezes still occur the easiest way to implement the workaround on an installed system is to edit the file '/boot/grub/grub.cfg' and modify to look like: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_idle.max_cstate=1" Alternatively the following command can be entered: sudo sed -i 's/\(GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=\)""/\1"intel_idle.max_cstate=1"/' /etc/default/grubfollowed by: sudo update-gruband then a reboot as the change only needs to be made once typically following installation. Micro SD card issues Whilst micro SD cards have worked on Intel Atom Bay Trail devices it is only since the v4.7.2 kernel that Intel Atom Cherry Trail devices have had any form of success. The typical error encountered is: mmc1: error -110 whilst initialising SD card mmc1: card never left busy state and although most Class 10 and below cards from any manufacturer except Sandisk work now without problem some UHS cards still fail. I've found Samsung UHS Speed Class 3 and UHS Speed Class 1 work whereas similar Sandisk cards fail crashing the device sometimes when inserting or removing the card. It may be necessary to first use the speaker controls to select the audio output before sound works. For audio on Lubuntu this will also require installing the package 'pavucontrol': sudo apt-get install -y pavucontrol and then using it to select the audio output e.g. HDMI. Unfortunately some devices still require additional audio drivers or specific device quirks that have not been incorporated into the mainline kernel so sound may only work over HDMI and not through internal speakers or via the headphone jack even though the UCM files have been added. This is part of ongoing Linux development and future kernel releases hopefully will include the drivers required for currently non-working devices. Installing without an internet connection on devices with a 32-bit boot loader Unfortunately the standard Ubuntu ISO requires an internet connection when installing on devices with a 32-bit boot loader otherwise the following error is encountered: The 'grub-efi-ia32' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.My script solves this for Ubuntu ISOs as it will now add the required GRUB packages allowing the installation to successfully complete. However other Ubuntu ISOs including the Ubuntu flavours and distros based on Ubuntu (such as Linux Mint) etc. their installation without the internet on 32-bit devices is with varying success. In part it depends on the original ISO installation capability on 64-bit devices without the internet. For example as Lubuntu 17.04 cannot be installed on 64-bit devices without internet as the ISO does not contain '/pool' with required packages so likewise after respinning its installation on 32-bit devices is not possible. However Lubuntu 16.04.2 can be installed on both 64-bit and 32-bit devices after respinning (see http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/16.04.2/release/lubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.list and http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/17.04/release/lubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.list for detailed package information). Also for non-Ubuntu ISOs it depends on the availability of archived package versions as some ISOs are created with earlier GRUB package versions to those currently available. For example with Elementary OS the earlier packages are not available and it is not known where (or if) an archive copy is maintained so installing without the internet on 32-bit devices is not possible. Suspend/Hibernate/Sleep issues Suspend in general has been problematic on Intel Atom devices and while new patches are continually being applied to the mainline kernel it is currently not working or incorrectly working on a number of devices. Brightness issues Unfortunately as I don't have a tablet I cannot advise on the various screen related issues some users experience using Ubuntu. The best command appears to be 'xrandr' although its use is device specific. Many people have commented in previous posts with their solutions and I've included some of these below. Most brightness suggestions include: xrandr --output [device_name] --brightness floating_pvalue (0 <= x <= 1.0) where you can determine your device by entering: xrandr -q | grep "connected" with the primary one being your device. For example: xrandr --output DSI-1 --brightness .${BRIGHTNESS} where the variable BRIGHTNESS can take a value between 3 and 9. Rotation issues Some examples that users have posted include: xrandr --output DSI-1 --rotate right xinput set-prop <Device Touchscreen> 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1 and xrandr -o right xinput set-prop 'Goodix Capacitive TouchScreen' 'Coordinate Transformation Matrix' 0 1 0 -1 0 1 0 0 1 Also others have reported that screen rotation during boot works with 'fbcon=rotate:1'. Touchscreen issues These seem to be related to rotation issues and another example of a solution includes: xinput set-prop "Silead GSLx680 Touchscreen" "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" 1 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 1 which can also be set when matching InputClass section in 'xorg.conf' with: Option "TransformationMatrix" "1 0 0 0 -1 1 0 0 1" Installation on Intel Apollo Lake Devices On Intel Apollo Lake devices you will need to include either the '--apollo' or '-b Linuxium' or '-b rEFInd' option when respinning the ISO to enable booting having first ensured sufficient space is available in the EFI partitions (see Resize EFI partition). Note that the '-b Linuxium' option requires that the package 'bintuils' is installed so if in doubt use the '--apollo' or include the package as another option (i.e. use '-b Linuxium -p binutils'). Reporting issues Comments are welcome but when discussing an issue please include the name of your device and use 'pastebinit' or similar to post a URL to a copy of the output from 'dmesg' (which is basically a log of kernel messages). To use the 'pastebinit' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Pastebinit) first install the command by entering 'sudo apt-get install -y pastebinit' and then to share the kernel messages log enter 'dmesg | pastebinit'. This will paste a copy of the output from 'dmesg' to Ubuntu's Pastebin and provide a URL to access it. So when reporting an issue please include:
