This is a document describing how to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on ThinkPad T470s.

- Memory: 24GB DDR4 2133 MHz (8GB Onboard + 16GB)
- SSD: PCIe-NVMe 256G OPAL 2.0
- Wireless: Intel Dual Band Wireless AC (2x2) 8265 Bluetooth 4.1
- Fingerprint Reader
- No Smartcard Reader
Canonical says the pre-installed version of Ubuntu 16.04 works on T470s.
I recommend using Ubuntu 16.04.3 or later to avoid most of the following issues.
If you try using 16.04.1 or earlier, you should use the following command to install the HWE kernel after installation (see this document for more details):
下記の問題が起きる可能性があるので、基本的には公式の 16.04.3 を使ったほうがよい。Ubuntu Japanese Team が提供する日本語 Remix リリースは無印の 16.04 であることに注意。特にイーサネットが使えない問題が面倒だが、このページを参考に4.4 より新しいバージョンのカーネルを USB メモリなどで用意しておくことでも対処できる。
Wifi and Eithernet problem
Ubuntu 16.04 with Linux kernel 4.4 can't recognize wifi and ethernet device on T470s. We can manually install a more recent kernel (such as 4.8) after installation (via USB drive) to solve the issue.
NVMe support
The Linux kernel earlier than 4.11 can't handle power saving of NVMe devices properly. Andy Lutomirski's patch to solve the issue is mereged in 4.10.0-14.16 in Ubuntu and available in the latest HWE Stack for 16.04.
Bluetooth
It is also resolved in the latest HWE kernel.

can mitigate the problem.
Disable Secure Boot
Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, Flash, MP3 and other media
Summary: The following message displayed at startup is unavoidable if you want to use third-party driver, such as NVIDIA graphics driver and VirtualBox driver, and NOT a major issue in most cases.
Booting in insecure mode
Can't unlock LUKS encrypted drive
Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security
Summary: Configure the kernel parameter to change from to when starting the kernel.
TODO
Example:
BIOS setting
If ThinkPad doesn't recognize your mouse and keyboard connected to the dock when reconnect the Thunderbolt 3 cable, changing Security Level of the Thunderbolt 3 setting to No Security would help.
Suspending
Unplug USB-C cable before suspending ThinkPad is recommended because it, unfortunatelly, sometimes crash in resuming.
Ethernet on the dock
4.10 kernel doesn't support ethernet on the dock. You must use 4.13 instead.
