Install Zorin on Intel Atom Z3735f

Hi, i want to install Zorin OS 12 lite on a laptop with the Intel Atom Z3735f (CPU x64). The BIOS support only the UEFI-32bits, not Legacy 32/64bits or UEFI-64Bits. We can only install Windows 8.1/10 x86 UEFI on this laptop and Ubuntu 18.04 modified (x64) to work on laptops with the bay trail processors with wifi/bluetooth/GPU/touchscreen driver...

Help me pls ! When i insert the bootia32.efi file on the USB installation, i have an error in the installation:
the 'grub-efi-amd64-signed' package failed to install into /target/. Without the GRUB boot loader, the installed system will not boot.

Hi Axel7

it looks the EFI System Partition might be corrupt.

Have look on link below under 'answers' to sort out your mess

cheers

Hi (and sorry for the late),
I tried the method, but it doesn't work too. I have the same error message, when I tried Ubuntu 18.04 Linuxium Edition (Linuxium is an ISO of Ubuntu with drivers and compatibilites-optimizations for Atom Tablets). But I want Zorin OS, how can I install Zorin on Atom Z3735F ? Devs of Zorin can't make ZorinOS compatible with UEFI-32Bit devices?

Hopefully, this thread should sort you out?:

Hi and thanks for the answer!
I already viewed this thread, but it doesn't work, I found this: https://medium.com/@realzedgoat/a-sorta ... 9b1d1961ec
I'm currently trying this.

Zorin OS is now installed ! But idk why, but Zorin is very slow on this Tablet-Laptop-PC (Atom Z3735F x64 4 Cores - 2GB RAM - Intel HD Graphics). Animations are slow, and when I open Chrome for example, it takes 30 seconds to open-it. Is it because I installed Zorin OS Ultimate ? If I install Zorin OS Core, it can be more faster than Ultimate? (I don't like the Lite version, because animations and the User Interface are not like the Core/Ultimate).

Hi,
great news - here you find the system requirements

The Z3735F has 4 physical cores that are initially clocked at 1.33GHz, which may go up to 1.833GHz across 2 cores or 1.58GHz across all 4 cores.

ZORIN OS 12 ULTIMATE, BUSINESS AND CORE
CPU 1 GHz Single Core
RAM 1.5 GB
Storage 10 GB (Core) or 20 GB (Ultimate)
Display 800 × 600 resolution

ZORIN OS 12 LITE
CPU 700 MHz Single Core
RAM 512 MB
Storage 8 GB
Display 640 × 480 resolution

your gear should behave not that slow which laptop brand?

It's Dell Venue 10 Pro 5055. It's a Tablet/Laptop computer. It's very fast with Win8.1, but when I install Ubuntu (or Zorin), it's very slow. I tried Deepin 15.7, and it was more fast than Zorin/Ubuntu, but I can't add the WIFI Driver on Deepin.

PS: I can't modify the luminosity of the screen on Zorin.

Venue 10 Pro (5055) with the Intel Atom Z3735F, 2GB of DDR3, 32GB eMMC, Win 8.1 Pro, dual band wireless a/b/b/n (Broadcom chipset), with the 10.1 inch 1280x800 multi-touch IPS display.

bad bad - checking further - Swarfendor437 (global mod) may comment on the configuration

So? Zorin is not compatible with this tablet?

Hi Axel, now that eMMC has reared its ugly head that is probably the main sticking point - you may have enough space etc., but let's remember that eMMC hardware is not designed to be modified - It's a throwaway device like a Chromebook - as soon as anything goes on those beasties you can bin it as literally everything is soldered on to the motherboard, memory, storage, etc. If you really want to run GNU/Linux on a new piece of kit you need to consider purchasing 'grey machine' or building one yourself, or purchase dedicated kit from any of the following suppliers. As I don't know where you are based I'll point you to all possible suppliers:

Mhm, ok. So, I will try the Core edition and the Lite. If it doesn't work, I will install Window$ 8.1. Oh, and is not possible to install Zorin Desktop on Ubuntu ? Like Deepin ?

You could using VirtualBox or DualBoot but on this particular kit you will have major problems due to lack of space (storage of 32 Gb really isn't a viable option. You could attempt to put on external drive which you connect to an ordinary computer, minus the hard drive, then you could attempt to put EasyBCD by NeoSmart on to boot to the external drive - but suspect that everything will be UEFI enabled on this kit so you could be on a hiding to nothing. I would be tempted to trade it in against a reasonably priced i3.

Mhm, I understand. I installed Windows 8.1. Is it possible to install Zorin on a micro SD Card?

Hi

is yr SD card found under Zorin?
multiple issues see here
