HOWTO: Get Ubuntu 10.04 working properly on the Toshiba A505 laptop

[GeneBrotherton]

Purelinux, do you think will this method work for the A505 6025 model?

i resolved my issue on post #17 with a bios update . Afterwards i received a update stating "pci 0000:04:00.0: no compatible bridge window for [mem 0xfffe0000-0xffffffff pref] " this error can be fixed if lan is connected or disable lan in bios.

Wonder if its possible to download & install really easy way from package manager...search for linux-image-x.x.x-generic....& uninstall old once after restart & that would update grub by it self too...

???

i get this error

drivers/acpi/acpica/tbxface.c:58: error: conflicting types for ‘acpi_tb_copy_dsdt’
drivers/acpi/acpica/actables.h:112: note: previous declaration of ‘acpi_tb_copy_dsdt’ was here

make[1]: *** [drivers] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.35.2'

or you could just install the 10.10 beta and quit trying to deal with all the problems. 10.10 fixes all the acpi issues and the issues with the graphics card. Im running it right now, with only one minor issue, with the kernel that when i plug in a wifi usb card i cant use it for aireplay-ng cuz it sets it to channel -1 but i think i may have found a patch for that.

Hi Soad6, I still have to set acpi=off when boot with 10.10 beta so only 1 core processor run but wifi & bluetooth work properly

My laptop is Toshiba L510 with intel core i3
Do u have any suggestion for me?

Thanks

andydch, use this instead if still having problems. You will get a few things back probably:

 acpi=copy_dsdt

I have 10.10 running beautifully on brand new Satellite Pro L510 with this command in /etc/default/grub. Only problem now is wireless slipping from 100% perfect to 50% randomly. Fan started behaving immediately and the volume dial on the front started working and showing on the desktop when I moved it.

I am in Australia and have this model: PSLGXA-002002.
