HP Pavilion t3560.uk (Desktop)
Pentium D 945 3.4GHz, 2GiB memory
Ubuntu 10.04 (Kernel 2.6.32-33-generic-pae; Gnome 2.30.2)

For about 3 months, I have been using an IronKey Personal S200, 2GB (https://www.ironkey.com/files/datasheets/ironkey-personal-s200.pdf).

I found the behaviour rather more automatic than suggested by the instructions that came with my IronKey (IK). Under Ubuntu 10.4 and 11.04, inserting the IK into a USB port automatically produces an entry in the Places menu and an IronKey icon on the desktop. If your system is configured to automatically open removable media when inserted, then you will also get a Nautilus window with a view of the IK's files.

This instance of the IK is an interim one, a partition that does not contain your secure files. To unlock the IK and reach your secure files, open the linux folder and then the ironkey file within that folder. This prompts you for your IK password, and after supplying it, you will see your files in the secure partition of the IK. From here on, you can transfer material to and from the IK as you would for any other USB storage device.

When finished, right-click the IK icon on the desktop and select safely remove drive. This both locks the secure IK partition and then unmounts the IK.

As detailed in the manufacturer's description of the IronKey, the on-board applications do not work under Linux. This is not a serious loss for me, since when I've used the IK on the PCs of my local library, the only permitted web browsing is by using the Internet Explorer provided on their Windows XP platform.

Various other functions, such as initialising the IK and changing its password, you must do from a command shell. All this is well described in the IK user guide, but of course a simple graphical interface into these functions for Linux users would be nice: not everyone lives in a command shell.

Hardware: IBM Thinkpad
RAM: 2048 MB
Ubuntu Version: EDGY EFT

No problems with any services. Everything works out of the box.

[DunZH]

I just got a custom made system, a real cheap box with hopefully enough power. So far its working great!

Here are the specs:

M4A88TD-M Asus mobo + Athlon II X4 640 with core unlocker, turboV EVO, and crossfireX support

3.0 Gighertz Quad Core
Socket AM3
Southbridge is 880G SB850
2 gigs of memory
Realtec ALC892
Realtec 8111E

The 850 southbridge is important to avoid the buggy 7.1 or 7.5 southbridge from AMD. I got the best processor I could for the money. I do wish I had gotten a bit better processor, with better caching. This thing has 2.0 MB total cache :|

I had to clear out my alsa and sound settings, but finally the sound is fine. I used the FGLRX graphics drivers cuz I am just using the on-board video, ATI Radeon HD 4250. Yeah, the video sucks. Almost seemed like the video driver screwed up the sound, but its all good now. Oh, yeah, this is Natty 11.04.

And I had one weird bug, my time was wrong and the dialog would just crash when I tried to change it. But that suddenly fixed itself perfectly...

[Gs Dewd]

I Want to update my specs.

Version = Ubuntu 11.04
Mainboard = Epox KRAI-pro mb (via kt880 chipset)

Graphics Card = Visiontek Radeon x1550 XGE
Harddrive = Maxtor 80 gb ATA 133
Optical Drive = Lite-on Cdrw

No issue with any of the on-board devices, (sound, nic, USB, etc)

For wireless net access I am using a Linksys wusb54gc USB Wifi adapter.

And everything works right out of the box just as it did with the other releases I have used. Very pleased.:P

[sleepingdragon]

OS - Ubuntu 11.04, no special mods.

Medion E4600 DualCore2 Duo @ 2.4Ghz, 2Gb RAM and 500Gb Seagate and 500Gb W.Digital.

Switched the ATi HD3450 card - (no hope) over to an Asus/nVidia EN210 Silent 512Mb DDR2 running on the 270.xx drivers.

Everything runs 100%, full-screen Flash video is smooth, higher settings possible in 3D games, plus all known desktop compositing modes.

Be warned though, the E4600 has a slightly odd motherboard - the PCI-e slot is next to the 20+4-pin socket, making it a close fit for any graphics card. Bigger cards with large fan arrangements may not fit. Graphics cards with double-height requirements will NOT fit. Since the nVidia 210 has no fan, but came with a double mount plate (don't ask me why), it took five minutes of creative fun with a hacksaw to make it fit - don't try this at home kids!

Also had an issue with the location of the drives being very close to the tower case. Removing the side panel snapped one of my SATA power plugs! Turns out it is part of the case panel runners that gets in the way of the SATA plugs. Again, five minutes with a hacksaw removed the offeding section.

Overall, performance is solid, and makes for a very stable Ubuntu box, but the weird hardware layout can put a few people off.

I'm not going to post all my hardware as it's old and out of production, but I will post something I got as a gift two days ago:

- Logitech MK520 wireless mouse/keyboard combo

It works just about perfectly* in Ubuntu Linux 11.10 32-bit. No drivers to download, no configuration required, just plug and play. And both the mouse and keyboard are quite nice.

Even the extra and multimedia keys on the top work almost perfectly.

* well 3 of the six multimedia keys should work but don't: the play, previous track and next track buttons. They're trying to do something as a big "no" symbol comes up on the screen but I can't configure them. I'll make a forum post but this issue is quite minor.

Wireless did not work with Xubuntu's default driver, the Ralink rt2800pci.
After moving the machine to the router and hardwiring them together, I followed the instructions at http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11624707&postcount=4, which worked. Note that the source code linked in there, is a copy of the code available from the Ralink support site at http://www.ralinktech.com/en/04_support/license.php?sn=5019. The difference is that the config has been pre-modified, as per Ralink's suggestions.

Smooth install and operation. Unity runs great.

My old WD Raptor hard drive was failing (it almost went completely a few days ago) and I wanted to upgrade to an SSD but my motherboard with its rather unique VIA SATA I controller couldn't handle a new SATA III device. Yes, they're supposed to be backwards-compatible but this is the only controller that isn't.

So I got a new(ish) motherboard along with a new SSD. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on it, it's now running fine:

MSI G31TM-P21
Crucial M4 64 GB SSD

This works great as an OS drive, there's lots and lots of space - still about 55 GB free! Incidentally it's also very very fast even on the SATA II controller on this board. Splash screen to desktop...5 seconds.

I'm very pleased.

Philips webcams have been nice with my Dell L520 with Ubuntu 10.10!


Version Of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 10.10, with Macbuntu theme
Type Of Hardware: webcam
Hardware Maker: Philips
Hardware Model: SPZ2000 and SPC900NC

Both has worked flawlessly out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 10.10, with Cheese, Skype and Flash +10. I only had to add the env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so before the commands, but it was a single modification to the menu and it was all. I have used gstreamer-properties to test the cams, which also worked at once, no frills, from the first time (with the benefit of telling me they were V4L1/L2 compatible.)

Although I have tested those webcams with a Dell L520, they also worked fine with Brazillian local makers Positivo and Itautec, both with Ubuntu 10.04.

RAM: 6 GB Kingston
Video Card: GeForce GT 430

Downloaded the video driver direct from nvidia website, works great, downloaded the realtek driver from their site, was a piece of cake, clear audio.

At first I tried to install 11.10, and it did NOT install at all, the installation hung consistently at one point. I don't know why, and I hope that I can install 12.04 later, after they get most of the bugs worked out of it. But thats not a big worry for me.

This is a fairly cheap system and very fast, I overloaded the RAM to be sure it would fly using the pae kernel.

Thought I'd add my new webcam to this list. Own brand from Asda (Walmart).

Princely sum of £7.95 for 1300k pixels and built in mono-microphone.

Video fine on Camorama webcam viewer

Video & Audio works fine in http://meetings.io/ and http://tinychat.com/

Video fine on Google+ Hangouts but no audio - a quick Google reveals a number of users having same issue.

Haven't got Skype so not checked.

Also, all hardware in my sig below works fine.

Cheers
Dave :p

Ubuntu 12.04

Installed:

"Creative I/O PCI Serial ATA Host Controller Card"
Model SA3114

to increase number of installed harddrives. Worked instantly without requiring special drivers.

Haven't tested the card's RAID ability as not required.

Lubuntu 12.04 installed:

Medialink MWN-USB150N Wireless N Adaptor worked right out of the box. Plugged it in, and it fired right up.

Please Only List
1) Ubuntu 12.04
2) Motherboard / GPU
3) Intel / nVidia (Dell)
4) DP67DE + Core i5 2500k overclocked / GeForce 7900 GS

This hardware worked straight out of the install. Also of note is that the motherboard's temperature and fan speed sensors all work as well with lm-sensors.

The Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) identifies hardware (servers, desktop and laptop systems and a selection of peripheral devices) which are compatible with the Oracle Solaris Operating System. The HCL also provides information about available software support.Oracle provides a free download of the Oracle Hardware Certification Test Suite (Oracle HCTS) application to enable Oracle Partners and customers to certify their systems and components with the Oracle Solaris OS on x86 and SPARC platforms. The systems and components that are tested using the Oracle HCTS (http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/hcl/hcts/index.html#steps) can be included in the Oracle Solaris HCL as Certified or Reported to Work, pending the result of the audit of the submission by Oracle. The systems and components that are tested by the end user without going through the Oracle Solaris Hardware Compatibility Program by using Oracle HCTS can also be included in HCL as "Reported to Work".

Check laptop and desktops system compatibility by choosing a manufacturer's name for individual supported models. Not all models in all product lines will be supported.

1)12.04 Ubuntu
2)Intel DH77EB motherboard
3) Intel i7-3770S CPU
4)Gigabyte Nvidia GTX 550ti graphics card

Works Great!
Using allot of graphics crashed the system. The graphics card solved that problem.

1 - Ubuntu 12.04LTS
2 - Motherboard
3 - MSI
4 - 848P Neo-V

Upgraded my motherboard from 1.8gig cpu to 3.2gig cpu. Used the above board. Installed it and had to make no changes to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS already installed. Works as expected.

Re: Desktop Hardware Compatibility List.
1 - Ubuntu 12.04LTS - 64bit
2 - Motherboard (dell studio XPS 435T)
3 - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz 1600.00MHz
4 - AMD Radeon HD 6870 (sapphire)

I had issues with the HD 6870 drivers
The system would hang on shutdown until latest driver from AMD was installed,
After the last update, I could not boot into GUI until driver was removed and replaced with driver in Ubuntu repository.

Everything seems to be working well as of yesterday.
