RE: Bay Trail-D motherboards and linux. - ckrles01 - 2014-05-28

Hello, everyone. I would like to build a small computer for my wife's business and I was planning on using linux, ubuntu 12.04 lts or ubuntu 14.04 lts. I have serached the Internet but I couldn't find the info anywhere else. This is my question.

Could you tell me your experience using the j1800 and j1900 mother boards and linux (ubuntu)?

I am concerned that these mother boards could be kind of locked to only installing windows 8. Is that true? Those of you having any of them, did you have any difficulties installing ubuntu or any ubuntu based distribution? I'd like to install zorin 6 based on ubuntu 12.04 until zorin 9 (ubuntu 14.04) is released.

The problem is I'm kind of a noob in linux (user since 2012) and I don't/can't wanna start fiddling with BIOS updates. I remember reading a user who updated the bios on his gigabyte j1800 to F3, and he didn't recommend gigabyte J1800 for linux.

Is there any J1800 or J1900 mother board where ubuntu can be install directly? (J1800 is preferred).

I was considering MSI J1800I, Asus J1800I-C. Any more suggestions?

All experiences are most welcome. I hope it works out of the box.

Thank you very much.

Plenty of posters in this thread have shared their positive Windows 7, OpenELEC and Linux experiences. The thread is worth a read. The hassle was mostly confined to the first released Gigabyte J1800 board.

I'd spend the extra $10 or whatever it is and get the ASRock Q1900B-ITX. Your wife will appreciate it Smile

RE: Bay Trail-D motherboards - fritsch - 2014-05-28

You won't have any luck with Ubuntu 12.04. libva too old, gpu drivers too old, no hw acceleration. Kernel too old, no hd audio.

Not sure what "zorin" does differently this time (most likely a fancy wallpaper), which is not relevant for a htpc installation. Use a minimal 14.04 with all updates.

RE: Bay Trail-D motherboards - Mark142 - 2014-05-28

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 no problem on the j1800 but can't find a use for it at the moment. So reverted back to openelec. You have to upgrade the bios. But it installed fine. I'm UK based and the as rock Q1900 is not a available hence why I went with the j1800

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS installed and works out of the box on my Q1900-ITX just fine (XBMCbuntu too). Same applies to Windows 7 64bit. No BIOS or any other fiddling required, pretty much plug and play.
I have not tried Windows 8 but pretty sure it would work out of the box too.

I read the whole thread, but since I wasn't totally sure about compatibility I wanned to ask you. The point is that only gigabyte states (in red fonts) Linux support on its website. That was my doubt. So, which j1800 or J1900 board would you recommend? Asrock, msi, gigabyte, biostar, asus? Perhaps biostar and msi would be the cheapest.

Could you recommend me one arranging them in order of preference?
Thank you very much.

Being the Asroc Q1900-ITX user I can really recommend it - it offers some features that other BayTrail mobos do not, such as 16gb ram support, 1.5V ram support, s/pdif out, 4 SATA ports and so on. The price is also very good. I have not had any BIOS or other issues with it so far.

Lewzer, what os are you running? Ubuntu 14.04 lts. Is there any that doesn't work well in ubuntu?

I intend to buy it from my local shop. In case I can't get it, do the other j1800 and j1900 (except gigabyte prior to bios update) allow us to install ubuntu 14.04 lts?

Thank you. It is good to know that 12.04 won't provide the expected results with this mobo. I'll go for 14.04.

I don't know what zorin does, I just like the interface with my favourite theme. I only know that zorin 6 iso is about 500mb larger than ubuntu 12.04. I don't know why.

At the moment I'm running XBMCbuntu (Ubuntu 14.04LTS + XBMC built in). Everything works perfectly when it comes to Ubuntu and XBMC. I use both Ubuntu and XBMC. Web browsing on ubuntu via chrome is perfect, 1080p youtube plays just fine, everything is very responsive, same thing goes to XBMC as well. Overall I'm very happy with, does everything that I ask it to do.

EDIT: I've also tried OpenELEC and Windows 7 64bit. Both ran without any issues out of the box.
