Snapdragon x elite Lenovo

Hi, I can install any ARM version in Lenovo yoga slim with snapdragon x elite? I tried but the laptop don’t show the booteable USB with KDE / Gnome ARM in the bios.

It’s possible that you prepared the USB in msdos/mbr mode instead of UEFI. It’s also possible that the USB is damaged in another way.

These are only vague guesses, as we can’t help without you providing much more information. System information might be a good start:

inxi --admin --verbosity=8 --filter --no-host --width

If you don’t know how to properly format this information in a scrollable preformatted textbox, please read below.


Hi @devy1451 and welcome to the Manjaro community.

As a new forum user, please take some time to familiarise yourself with Forum requirements; in particular, the many ways to use the forum to your benefit.

To that end, some or all these links may be invaluable:

Last, but not least, the Update Announcements, which you should check frequently for important update related information.

An issue may be directly related to a particular update; these announcements should generally be checked before posting a request for support.

I hope this is helpful.

Cheers.

Hi, thanks man but the problem isn’t in usb, I tried it with Rufus and BalenaEtcher but it’s not working, manjaro kde x86 boot yes it works, the bios recognize the usb.

The BIOS would also not recognise the USB if it were badly written, or if the USB was damaged.

However, nobody here is a mind-reader; we still need system information, at least. Unless someone has that very same hardware, it’s unlikely anyone can magically pull a cure from thin air.

Now, you seem to be saying that it is being recognised… Which is it?

Maybe someone else can help.

Good luck.

For snapdragon support you need an arm OS with 6.11 or better 6.12.

Manjaro ARM relies on upstream support for various devices and does not yet support these systems - and there is no timeline for adding support.
