Post-installation setup
This document contains extra steps to perform after installing Dasharo in order to enable full functionality of your device.
Linux
This section covers Linux post-install steps tested on Ubuntu 22.04. It is likely thas similar procedures would for others Linux distributions as well.
Touchpad hotkey enablement
The touchpad hotkey needs extra setup to function correctly under Linux. To enable the touchpad hotkey to work under Linux, follow the steps below:
- Execute fixup script:
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dasharo/dasharo-tools/main/clevo/touchpad-fixup | sudo sh
After executing these steps, it should be possible to enable and disable the touchpad using the touchpad hotkey (Fn+F1) on the keyboard when using GNOME.
Touchpad multi-touch support
On NS7x an additional fix is necessary to enable multi-touch on Linux. Create
a file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-psmouse.conf
with the following contents:
blacklist psmouse
and then run the following commands:
sudo depmod -a
sudo update-initramfs -u
Updated kernel
On Gen 12 (Alder Lake), it's recommended to install the ubuntu-oem kernel which is a newer version than the default Ubuntu kernel. This version contains additional fixes for newer hardware which helps with power management and suspend on Gen 12 laptops. To install the ubuntu-oem kernel, run the following command:
sudo apt install linux-oem-22.04a
and reboot to use the new kernel.
Nvidia drivers
It is only necessary to follow this step if your device has Nvidia GPU
For proper working of the sleep mode on Ubuntu 22.04, it is required to install additional Nvidia drivers.
-
Install drivers by executing the following command in the terminal:
sudo apt install nvidia-driver-515 nvidia-dkms-515
-
Reboot the device to apply changes by executing the following command in the terminal:
sudo reboot
-
(Optional) For power saving while the card is not in use, enable On-Demand mode in NVIDIA Control Panel:
Suspend fix for SATA disks

-
Execute fixup script:
curl -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Dasharo/dasharo-tools/main/clevo/sata-suspend-fixup | sudo sh
Windows 11
Updates and drivers installation

Headset jack fix for NV4x 12th Gen
The headset jack in NV4x 12th Gen (Alder Lake) needs a fix that is available starting with kernel version v6.0 (patch be561ffad708f0cee18aee4231f80ffafaf7a419). If you are using an older kernel, you need to add the fix manually:
