Onboarding Linux (Ubuntu) Devices to LDM
Lenovo Device Manager allows organization admins to Add Linux (Ubuntu) Edge or PC devices easily. Users can download the provisioning pack with the necessary files and apply to the devices. Any Lenovo Linux (Ubuntu) device can be automatically added to LDM by installing the LDM Provisioning Pack to the device.
The setup is unique for the organization and must not be shared.
Adding a Linux (Ubuntu) Device
- Go to Device Management > Devices page.
- Click the ✚ Onboard Device button.
- Select OS type: Linux
- Choose the onboarding method: Standard or ARM.
- Click Next.

- Open the Terminal window and execute the install.sh shell script with administrative privileges.
- If the execution process is successful, the udc.service will be active and running, and the Lenovo UDC Agent will show a Started state.
