Since September 2018, Surface Book 2 WiFi may power off during use. Requires the installation of the linux-firmware-marvell package for the wireless network interface to be recognized by the kernel. See Advanced Linux Sound Architecture#Disabling auto mute on startup for the fix. Surface Book 2 devices exhibit a hissing noise at times. It is recognized as a mouse click otherwise. Only works in a Window Manager or Desktop Environment that has full support for it. Using terminus-font with 32pt looks good on Surface Book 2 on the vconsole (add FONT=ter-m32n to /etc/nf after installing). The cause is that, apparently, the fan cannot be controlled automatically, nor through nvidia-smi or nvidia-settings, even when the Coolbits option is set to 8.īecause of the screen's resolution, the console font is barely readable - refer to Linux console#Fonts on how to change them. The reason, as reported by nvidia-smi, is software thermal throttling. Without the kernel ( linux-surface), there was a bug which causes it to be effectively useless because when a load is put on the Nvidia graphics hardware, it immediately and severely throttles down to around 139MHz. The Nvidia 10 cards in the Surface Book 2 Performance Base are recognized by the kernel and supported by nvidia and nvidia-dkms drivers. The standard xf86-video-intel driver works with the Surface Book devices. The "Enable Boot from USB devices" UEFI option needs to be enabled in order to boot to the installer. The UEFI menu will appear within a few seconds.īooting from USB is possible by reordering boot devices in the UEFI setup or by holding the volume down button while booting. When you see the Surface logo, release the volume-up button.Press and hold the volume-up button on your Surface, and, at the same time, press and release the power button.Shut down your Surface and wait about 10 seconds to be sure it is off.refind and systemd-boot work well.ĭisabling Secure Boot is not necessary, but makes things easier.įollow the manufacturer's directions for accessing UEFI setup: The information in Boot loaders applies here.
