Just a quickie! I'm still using this Asus N550 notebook, mainly for <a href="https://neon.kde.org/" target="_blank">KDE Neon</a> (awesome Ubuntu-based distro). I had some issues with headphone jack socket so this is just information for googlers. In case you have issues like this just put following line into your <b>/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf</b>:<p></p></div><p><b></b></p><blockquote><b>options snd-hda-intel model=asus-nx50</b></blockquote><p></p><p>Don't forget to restart your system.. all should work fine now, no need to use other tricks like hdajackretask for example.. :-) If you're using other model in alsa-base.conf like "asus-model4" for example than you should update it too, "asus-nx50" works perfectly well with our notebook. See you around!<br /></p>Pięć pożądańhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156020571290434051noreply@blogger.com05-123 Chotomów, Polska52.410854 20.88509224.100620163821155 -14.271158 80.721087836178839 56.041342tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697648005341642161.post-71808670836071451092014-05-15T18:20:00.001+02:002014-05-15T18:22:50.849+02:00It's alive!!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone!<br />
<br />
Believe or not, but it seems this will be very short blog! I expected definitely more work to run Linux on the notebook that was released recently, however it seems that almost everything works out of the box! <a href="http://linux-on-n550.blogspot.com/p/linux-on-n550jk.html">Please see the page I prepared to check the status of components</a>. If you have different experiences please let me know -- I'll update the page accordingly. Also your suggestions for more tests are welcome.<br />
<br />
Now let me enjoy my so smoothly working N550 notebook with Linux on top of it! :-)Pięć pożądańhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06156020571290434051noreply@blogger.comChotomów, Polska52.416666700000007 20.88333330000000426.894632200000007 -20.425260699999995 77.938701200000011 62.1919273tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2697648005341642161.post-8327398816423916612014-04-30T11:10:00.001+02:002014-05-01T09:26:27.498+02:00Let's keep it here!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi folks!<br />
<br />
I need a brand new notebook. I was considering at first <a href="http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N550JV/" target="_blank">Asus N550JV</a>, however it's being replaced now by <a href="http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N550JK/" target="_blank">Asus N550JK</a> -- it's pretty fresh, no tests, no guides, no reviews available for now.. I gave it a shot - just ordered it yesterday.<br />
<br />
When I was looking for information about <a href="http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N550JV/" target="_blank">Asus N550JV</a> it was quite painful that nobody kept all the information in one place -- I'll try to describe and keep all the information related to Linux on <a href="http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N550JK/" target="_blank">N550JK</a> installation/configuration here! Let me know if you want to contribute, I'm also open to your suggestions - I'm not going to test everything here, because it will be my primary computer for everyday use - but hey, give it a try!<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
I ordered 128 GB SSD / 16 GB RAM / Win 8.1 variant. I want to clone SSD drive for backup purposes, to shrink the windows partition to make a space for Linux filesystem and also to remove optical drive and put on its place HDD caddy with secondary hard drive (traditional, non-SSD) for /home and /swap. I hope it'll work just fine. ;-)<br />
<br />
One of the first things I'll check is SATA controller for optical drive -- I need to be sure in which mode it operates SATA 2 or SATA 3 to choose secondary hard drive properly.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://linux-on-n550.blogspot.com/p/n550jv-issues-and-fixes.html">Here you can find the notes for installation/configuration</a> for <a href="http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/N550JV/" target="_blank">Asus N550JV</a> (thanks for them once again, <a href="http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=770196" target="_blank">Lîtus</a>!) just in case. As my Linux distribution I choose <a href="http://ubuntugnome.org/" target="_blank">Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 LTS</a>. What's yours?<br />
<br />
Cheers!<br />
