Is anyone running Ubuntu Linux on this motherboard? Any issues?

Running freenas (freeBSD) on it without problems. Don't see why Linux would be any problem.

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 Server (so no graphics tested) as a web/file server. No issues.

Yes, I based an Ubuntu (LAMPS) server on this mobo that runs headless (no GUI) to conserve resources. It serves up a complete secure medical records, billing, scheduling and appointment reminder system (OpenEMR v4.1.1) supporting 6 users. It has never missed a beat and has been running continuously for over two years. I don't make use of the sound or HDMI capabilities in this application, so I can't comment on those. hth /r Dave

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, no problems whatsoever. Had a lot of runtime errors with an Asus itx motherboard. Would only work with Windows XP. I think it has do with the BIOS being UEFI. After the initial boot sequence, the computer would run for 2-5 minutes and suddenly lock up and display all sorts of runtime errors. Finally gave up and used Windows XP. Otherwise, this is a much better motherboard. Highly recommended.

Shouldn't be a problem. I know the Asus Z77 Nuvoton chips have some problems with anything older than the 3.10 kernal. I haven't heard anything wrong with the Gigabyte version though. I think Linux Mint has one or two very select issues? But, this was around a year ago when I heard of the problem. The only issue I've had with the board was the fact that I had to update the BIOS firmware to run a newer graphics card. But, you will probably do that anyway. The LED POST display is super useful if you need to troubleshoot something, just drop the number it shoots out into Google.

Not official answer here... but it should be. I'm planning on throwing Linux on it.

I'm running both Win7-64 and Ubuntu 10.04LTS-64 (dual boot). No problems at all. Great little laptop.

with the 64bit OS Windows & Ubuntu Linux, I was able to install 8GB sinngle slot ram into it. No issues. Just make sure it is DDR3 PC3-10600, DDR3 (non-ECC). I bought a corsair.

I'm also looking at this laptop myself. I've been wondering if it will run fine with Linux, and from the input here things are looking good! I'm looking to run Debian, probably the testing branch as it has a little more up-to-date kernel and software, but I'm also considering Arch. That distro is always on the bleeding edge so the most recent software should (hopefully) pick up every piece of hardware on this machine.

Good day. I have an Asus AMD motherboard with 8 gigs of ram, a FX-8320 Eight Core CPU, two AMD Radeon 7800 Series Video Cards and Windows 8.1 and I have no issues at all. Works rather well.

I would say you will be alright. I am running a GA-78LMT-USB3 AM3 with a ASUS GTX760 GPU with no issues.

you shouldn't have a problem, but i strongly suggest you to buy a new motherboard, yours is kinda outdated and mobos aren't that expensive nowadays.

Not sure about Linux Ubuntu or multi-platforms but I do use this for everyday use and gaming.

Yes, overclocks great;update BIOS version if possible,always best to have latest drivers.

As i recall, it didn't actually ship with a version of Linux installed. The first thing I did was install Ubuntu and its been working fine. I bought this laptop a few months ago, though, so I may have forgotten...

It should work, I have installed many Linux distros on this as well as many flavors of windows.

I run mine with the FX-6300 and Gigabyte MB as well. It should work, it's not ultra fast stock.

I'm 99% sure that it needs a bios update to run it. Its super easy to do though, just follow the instructions in the manual.

Hey I actually have the exact same question. I just bought a TR4M to go with this board. What were your findings? I just tried booting it (I'm running Ubuntu off a thumb drive) and the system hung for a while before presenting me with a laundry list of conflicts. I'm curious, did you try this out? What did you end up doing?Thankya!

With out knowing which mother board you have I would first check and see if you can run 64 bit with your motherboard
