XPS 9370 Ubuntu image

Hi,

installin windows 10 dual boot on xps developer edition I have accidentally deleted also recovery partition. I'd like to recover the original patition schema and start over again but is impossible to download the ubuntu image from dell support center!

Or the download never start or it complete in a couple of second and the iso file is corrupted....

With the installation iso can i restore the disk at the factory state?

How can i download that iso?

 

Thank you

If under warranty, you will need to contact Dell.

The link works for me and after giving the laptop ST, it shows "Ubuntu16.04 ISO for XPS 9370 2.07 GB" and a download button but when I click on download I get this error message:

No driver found. We're sorry. We couldn't find the file you are looking for. It may be that the link you followed to get here is not working. Try checking the URL/address for errors or visit the Support page and select your product to begin a new search.

I have the same issue as 4m1rk

It shows the correct ISO for the right product but the download link simply does not work.

Cannonical Non-dell customised UBUNTU 18.04 Bionic LTS (stable)

Link with latest updates pre-installed:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/bionic/daily-live/

 

U will see a folder with today's date, open it (DONT OPEN YESTERDAY"S FOLDER)

 

 

Download file : bionic-desktop-amd64.iso

 

These are generic ISOs released by Canonical, and works pretty well on  my system.

 

Dell customised Ubuntu images are not listed in their servers, hence u will be unable to dwnld ( even if u had ubuntu out of the box)

 

I am in contact with Advanced Resolution Team & they're on it!!

 

For now, satisfy ur thirst with the link I gave^

First of all, thanx.

I've just installed vanilla Ubuntu 18.04 LTS on Dell XPS 13 9370 (i forgot to mark full disk encryption earlier).

Did i miss something?  from Dell Ubuntu ISO... there were some Dell apps for battery optimisation etc. ? something else ?

There is support but its not free.

Support is through the Ubuntu Advantage support plan. Prices start at $150 per year per server and $250 per year with a minimum of 10 virtual servers. The latter plan includes work week online and phone technical support. There's also a desktop plan, which will run you $150 per year per desktop with a minimum order of 50 desktops.

The generic 18.04.2 seems to be fine.

http://releases.ubuntu.com/18.04/ubuntu-18.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso

You will want to install extras that are not there by default.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes/ChangeSummary/18.04.2

 

sudo apt install libdvdcss2 libdvdread4 libdvdnav4 ubuntu-restricted-extras

 

sudo apt install libdvd-pkg

you need to configure the package using dpkg so that it installs the required dependencies.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure libdvd-pkg

This will configure libdvdcss2

you’ll be asked whether you want automatic updates for libdvdcss2 say yes with enter on keyboard

Brasero and VLC is also useful

sudo apt-get install brasero

sudo apt-get install vlc

sudo apt-get install exfat-fuse exfat-utils

Setting the region on the drive may also be necessary

sudo apt-get install regionset

 

I use an external Blueray USB drive and everything runs as I expect.
