How to reinstall Ubuntu Linux

Contents

Ubuntu Linux is supported on most OnLogic PCs and can be installed using a USB flash drive. We rely on the drivers built into the kernel. Additional driver packages are not needed. Technical support for any Ubuntu related issues should be directed to ubuntuforums.org

Prerequisites

A 4GB or larger flash drive (USB 3.0 model recommended for speed)
A PC running Windows 10

Downloads

Download the Rufus tool from rufus.ie

Download the correct Ubuntu ISO image for your system (based on the CPU).
Most newer systems such as the K400 series, K800 series, and platforms with 11th Gen CPUs or newer with require Ubuntu for Intel IoT.
Other platforms can use the latest standard LTS version, such as 22.04 in this example.
Older versions can be downloaded from this page. download the file ending in -desktop-amd64.iso

Creating the flash drive

Download the ISO file and Rufus tool, linked above
Insert your flash drive and run Rufus

Click Select and choose the ISO file you just downloaded.

Most systems will use the Partition Scheme set to GPT.

For older Systems (2018 or older): Set the Partition Scheme to MBR

For context, GPT = UEFI and MBR = Legacy for the Boot Option in the BIOS.

Click START

Click OK. This will erase your flash drive and turn it into an Ubuntu installer.
Wait for Rufus to complete.

Safely eject the flash drive and unplug it from the PC.

Installing Ubuntu

Connect your newly created flash drive to the OnLogic PC and boot to it.
Press F2 or Delete to access the BIOS. Under the Boot tab, make it the first boot device.
Exact boot instructions vary by model. If you need assistance, contact support@onlogic.com.
