I reinstalled Kubuntu and installed 2.6.35 kernel from the mainline kernel PPA. Everything is working as expected now! No backlight problems.

Ok, I've installed Linux Mint 9 (10.04 LTS base) and brightness stays the same after suspend. I may just stick with LTS for the time being.

Do the brightness keys work? Try installing "pommed" and see if that helps with being able to adjust the brightness in steps.

I'm running Kubuntu Oneiric on a Macbook2,1. Regardless of whether pommed is running or not, and regardless of whether I've adjusted brightness before going to suspend, brightness is 100% *after*...

Thanks for this. I love fixing problems in Debian by going to Ubuntu forums ;-)

Thank you! Works like a charm under 10.10.

Lubuntu (Maverick), because it's fast as heck (much more so than Xubuntu, in my experience) and is extremely customizable. Replace the kernel with a Tuxonice-enabled one from the PPA for faster...

Thanks... I'd seen that one, couldn't really figure out how to get there from here, if you know what I mean. I ended up just doing a minimal netboot install and installed a "minimal-enough" XFCE...

I'm using lubuntu 10.04 beta 2. I've read wikis on xkb and various other topics related to switching keyboard layouts without the use of a dedicated applet (as lxde doesn't seem to yet have one) and...

Thanks -- I tried out LXDE last night and it was using PCMan instead of Nautilus in Gnome sessions, too. Very annoying.

I just got my external CD drive working with it. It's /dev/sr1 (my internal drive is /dev/sr0) -- I discovered it by trying to play a CD in VLC and seeing how it referenced the drive.

I was more or less happy with Karmic -- had better results with Intel video, etc., and then I discovered something very annoying. My Dynex USB webcam, which worked fine under the Karmic beta, no...

This will fix it. There are 32- and 64-bit versions, too.

Thanks. Somehow "flashplugin-installer" got run -- must have been when I enabled codecs in Amarok.

How would I find out what package installed npwrapper.libflashplayer.so without me asking for it specifically? I did not install flashplugin-nonfree.

Using Kubuntu Karmic Beta (AMD64). Have only...

Sweet. 64-bit Flash plugin has better, smoother video performance now under Linux on my laptop than the 32-bit version did under Vista.

DVD / XviD playback now completely smooth, no tearing...

Thanks!

Just downgraded to Hardy because of Intel video issues in Jaunty. Glad to get my wifi working on this laptop!

Hi all,

I installed 8.04 (AMD64) today and decided to install xubuntu-desktop via apt-get in addition to the default Gnome desktop. I selected XFCE session from the login screen and nothing...
