    Hi,

    I have a Toshiba Chromebook 2 and want to use Deepin on it. ChomeOS is nice but nothing beats Linux, especially Deepin ;)
    It al works only I have no sound. After a search on the internet it seems that the drivers for the soundcard are not in the Linux kernel anymore.

    I found some things. On Archlinus there is this package that compile the drivers and load them
    https://github.com/duffydack/linux-max98090

    Is there a way to do the same on Deepin, or can somebody create a package so it will work on Deepin?

    I also GalliumOS (special distro for Chromebooks) and there it works. GalluimOS has its modified kernel. I try to use the GalluimOS kernel,
    but no succes. I could load the kernel on Deepin but still no sound.

    I hope that someone of this community has the knowledge to help me with this.

    Deepin uses an outdated kernel version.
    You could try if it works with the recent one.
    Install it with: sudo apt-get install ukuu
    I don't know if it really cointains your missing driver but it's worth a try.

    Install it wi ...

    The driver is not avaliable since the 4.4 kernel. So it need to be installed manualy. But now idea how to do it. I tried other kernels with ukuu, but that did not help. Need something like what that ArchLinux guy Duffydack is doing in the URL's.

    Download these two files:
    https://github.com/duffydack/lin ... 1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    https://github.com/duffydack/lin ... 1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
    And install them.
    If you don't know how,give me a screenshot of the archives root directory and I will tell you how it works.

    Hi nipos,

    map:
    boot, etc, usr and files .buildinfo .install .mtree .pkginfo

    and headers
    usr and files .buildinfo .mtree .pkginfo

    And no idea what todo now.
    Yes build is, but where to start

    Maybe you can build it? And share it as package??

    Sorry,I don't know.
    I get results how to install .deb files on Arch Linux (probably they know that I'm using Arch) but I don't get results how to install Arch files on Debian (which would work on Deepin,but nobody creates tutorials especially for Deepin)
    I can't build it for you,I don't know how.
    You can install the older kernel which supports these drivers by default.
    That's available as .deb files.
    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel ... 601101930_amd64.deb
    http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel ... 601101930_amd64.deb
    I think you must have only the first link but you should install both because some programs need the second,too.
