Questions[emmc](ubuntu)

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad 1 11ADA05 on which I would like to install Kubuntu. I can boot into the live session just fine, everything works (graphics, WiFi, Sound...). However the installer doesn't see the eMMC this machine has. I've played around with different UEFI settings, secureboot on and off, the thing even has a "setup mode" in the UEFI, but nothing seems to make a difference. A generic non-machine specific Windows10 installation USB stick sees the eMMC and installs fine, so I guess it can't be too exotic?!? Here's a hw-probe out of the live session, I can't even tell if the kernel find's the SD-controller to which the eMMC is supposedly connected, can anyone have a look? https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=5885335d44

It seems to run Kubuntu very nicely and would be a pity if I couldn't install it. The UEFI lists the eMMC as Ramaxel 64GB and furthermore "hard disk" as not installed. I opened the case and found mounting holes to mount an M.2 (I guess), there are also the soldering pads on the PCB but the M.2 socket is not soldered on, so that would only be a last resort solution, if the eMMC can't be used at all...

Looking forward to any hints!

I'm installing Kubuntu onto a laptotp (Acer Aspire ES13) which has an eMMC as storage. Googling, I found out that Linux usually has problems installing on an eMMC... is that true? Will my laptop work? Thank you!

I have a HP Stream 14. It only has a 32 GB hard drive. An eMMC, so,I can’t remove it to upgrade.

Windows took up most of the 32 GB, so I thought to put Linux on it. I’ve made the bootable USB with Ubuntu 18.04,and tried it out.

Now, I want to install it onto my internal drive, but it says it needs 30GB, which seems a bit excessive.

Should I just pick one of the lighter distros, like Mint or Mate? Or can I stick with regular Ubuntu?

I have a Baytrail netbook with 2gb Ram and 32 gb eMMC storage comes with windows 10 32 bit preloaded .But i want to have an Ubuntu based 64 bit distro along with the default OS . I can't completely replace it with Ubuntu since specs doesn't allow 64 bit ubuntu to run smoothly as like win 10 (32bit ) does and manufacturer only support OS that comes preinstalled . How can i overcome the storage space , performance issue ? and help me to choose the correct Ubuntu flavor .

I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 in a Lenovo 310 and I have some problems after some time (the problem usually happens after watching flash videos on the browser) the filesystem gets read-only. For instance when I try to do ls, the following error appears:

bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: Read-only file system

and with dmesg I find the following:

When I reboot, there is a terminal telling me to run fsck and after doing that and rebooting again the system is again fine (for a while).

I have read that this might be a kernel problem, but that might be also be a problem with my hardware.

Could someone help me to discover which is the problem? Which log information can I provide to clarify this?
