1.) Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS 64 bit Lucid Lynx

2.) Toshiba Satellite L755-S5258 laptop - (Sandy Bridge intel i5-2410M dual core, x4 HTT, 2.3 - 2.9 GHz)

3.) intel HD 3000 on-die graphics

Boots, audio works, fairly stable, stuck at nasty 1024 x 768 screen resolution. Blurry. Won't go to native 1366 x 768. Installed all updates via Synaptic.

No go with 11.04 64 bit.

11.04 64 bit seems to install perfectly, finds wifi, immediately gets connected. Great. Gnome desktop during install is gorgeous, 1366x768, then after install completes and reboots, no splash screen, and login screen is nothing but vertical white stripes. Cannot make anything out. Tried virtual consoles <Ctrl><Alt> F1 thru F7, got blank screens.

Comments:
Everything works, with one exception:

The "smart" trackpad only functions as a regular "dumb" trackpad. The "pinch to zoom out" and "spread fingers to zoom in" (sort of like Apple's touch interfaces) features don't work. It appears these features are only supported with the Windows-only drivers for the trackpad.

Aside from that I have not seen any problems. Wireless and wired NICs, display, sound, etc. all worked out-of-the-box. Haven't tested special "function" keys (e.g. volume control buttons) extensively yet.

eta:
Ubuntu estimated ~3 hr. battery life. About the same as in Windows. Hibernate and Sleep functions also work.

Mult-boot can be complicated. The included Samsung backup software for Windows 7 appears to rely on a naive, legacy GRUB-like partition numbering scheme to identify its recovery partition. So if you want to dual-boot Windows 7 and Ubuntu, and still use the Samsung backup software, use Gparted to shrink the Windows volume, then put your Ubuntu install *after* the recovery partition.

Laptop: Dell Studio 1555
even the wireless drivers got automatically installed on the first wired connection to the internet. Still have no clue how to make a projector display from the laptop. special keys which along with fn keys work. Brightness, sound, play/pause, next/previous track, wireless/bluetooth switch, cd/dvd eject work. Only the projector key doesnt work. Fan control is amazing, i can see the fan revving up when i start off a load on the system.

[webjack]

if there are already 4 partitions, you can't make any new partition where you can install ubuntu as the system restricts the no. of partitions in an hard disk to 4. So, best bet, install it in windows only using wubi. Do try to mess with the partitions with Gparted utility if u dont know what u r doing. It can leave some parts of ur hard disk corrupted. So, wubi is the way to go for you!

Latitude Dell D630 is just perfect with all distros
HP pavilion dv2000 so so

[Winelord]

Ubuntu Version: 10.04

Works fine apart from occasional screen flicker (integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator).

Ubuntu 11.04 works perfectly with same hardware.
