MS Surface Pro 7 - Error Communicating to TMP Chip #25

Closed

Hi, I need your help. I'm tried everything to run Linux (Ubuntu 19.10, other OS' doesn't work either) on my surface pro 7. The live-usb-Stick works (tried it on my desktop PC).
In UEFI the Secure-Boot is off + TMP Chip is on. (Tried it with TMP off, than it doesn't boot, too. Does anyone knows a workaround?
Please explain it more detailed, because I'm new with Grub/booting Linux.

PS: My Windows 10 (same SSD other partition) is encrypted with Bitlocker.

Thanks.

    That's a known issue, see for example jakeday/linux-surface#592 (comment). Specifically:

    • Kernel parameter modprobe.blacklist=intel_lpss_pci, otherwise system hangs as intel-lpss loads.

    Meaning, you have to edit the kernel parameters before booting into the live image (see e.g. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions under "Changing the CD Boot Option Configuration Line") and add modprobe.blacklist=intel_lpss_pci at the end.

    Thank you so much. It worked.

    Do you know any kernel (Debian) that supports touch input/pen input for the surface pro 7?

    tried out some mentioned here on github without luck.

    See #22 for the status on that. I'm not aware of any other project trying to support IPTS devices on the newer kernels.
