Well the laptop originally comes with linux but I wanted ubuntu..
I had some problems and solved them after googeling a lot..
WLAN
run this command and wlan will work
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-jaunty
I think this is not the best solution.. but it works
Compile own WLAN
at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=874097
I can't say it's better/worser..
I did it .. but i can't see any improvement..
compared to linux-backports-modules-jaunty
Sound 1
DONT USE THIS ! USE SOUND 2 !
Sound is more work
Get the ALSA updater script from:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810
Extract it .. and make it executable ! and run it
Code:
sudo ./AlsaUpgrade-1.0.x-rev-1.17.sh -di
-di will download and install newest ALSA
Then run this script: (found at https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubun...23/comments/38)
Code:
sudo -s
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/misc/hda-verb/hda-verb-0.3.tar.gz
tar xf hda-verb-0.3.tar.gz
cd hda-verb-0.3
make
cp hda-verb /usr/bin
gedit /etc/rc.local
And add this line before "exit 0"
Code:
hda-verb /dev/snd/hwC0D0 0x1c SET_EAPD_BTLENABLE PCM
Reboot and your sound will work
Sound 2
Code:
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
tar xf alsa-driver-unstable-snapshot.tar.gz
cd alsa-driver-unstable
./configure --with-cards=hda-intel
make
sudo make install
Reboot and it will work
If you used Sound 1 ! Don't forget to change back the edited /etc/rc.local file !
Sound problems
Executing wine stops the sound play back, no idea why.. just restart VLC,Rythmox
or what ever you use..and it will work again..
Sound crackles:
I upgraded my ext3 to ext4 .. and sound was crackeling..
look at the attached image, make sure PCM is at 100%
After every boot PCM is a 0%
Do this:
Code:
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
and add before "exit 0" this:
and/or also add it into the autostart (Session-manager) !
Webcam (flip)
Found at: http://radu.cotescu.com/2009/07/31/r...ams-in-ubuntu/
And for copy and past:
Code:
sudo -s
cd /bin/
wget http://codebin.cotescu.com/uvcvideo/flip_webcam
chmod +x flip_webcam
flip_webcam 1
And it will be done..
After a kernel update run again:
If left and right is also wrong.. then use the "2"
LCD brightness FN-Keys
(also solves flickering)
Code:
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst

# defoptions=quit splash acpi_backlight=vendor
save and do:
Reboot.. and it will work
