Let's aim to make an easy way to get this working! E.g. a zip file to overwrite etc...
  • WTF HP, why is the UEFI firmware in 32bit on a 64bit system? Why is it not 64bit firmware, so that it supports the 64bit EFI bootloaders like what most linux distribution support???????

  • UEFI?? WTF, why do you need to have specific 32bit or 64bit EFI. BIOS didn't need this weirdness!!!???

  • Touch screen doesn't work. Don't think wifi works yet.

Add a 32bit compatible grub EFI bootloader file:

Add bootia32.efi to the /EFI/BOOT directory (File source is https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta )

Modify the loopback.cfg and grub.cfg config files:

Screen Rez: 1280x800

thus replace splash with video=VGA-1:800x1280e reboot=pci,force

e.g. quite splash -- with quite video=VGA-1:800x1280e reboot=pci,force --

e.g. :

from original ubuntu settings:

it may help to turn off 'fast startup' in windows 8 to prevent conflict with ubuntu install

Once you got a booting usb drive...

You can follow 'Dual Boot Ubuntu 14.10/Windows Install Procedure for the HP Stream tablet'.

Main thing to note, you need to ensure that you shrink your current windows partition. So you can fit ubuntu in it. Or you could just wipe windows out, but not recommended as there is no stable ubuntu for slate 8 yet.

I was able to install, but can't get the resulting installation to boot however...
