    1)Version Of Ubuntu: 10.10
    2)Laptop Maker: HP
    3)Laptop Model: G60 214em
    4)Known Issue: Wireless! Complete pain to get running. Only solution I've found that keeps the wireless working, is to set up as a dual boot system and not use Windows.
    I'd demand a refund, if I were you!

    1: Version: Maverick Meerkat 10.10
    2: Laptop Maker: Toshiba
    3: Model: Satellite A215 S5849 (rebuild)

    Issues: As this laptop was originally set up with Vista Home Premium, I thought to start fresh, as it were.
    The HDD in it was failing anyway, so I swapped in a new 160 GB Seagate blank drive. Installed UBUNTU 10.10, and for the most part, everything looks fine. I then begin to install games I had, getting the necessary linux files to use (Neverwinter Nights 1 comes with a Linux client for the game). However, issues arise as the video driver files (ATi Radeon Mobility X1200 motherboard graphics) for linux are both old and difficult to install.

    newly learning and re-learning Linux/Unix shell commands are a pain. Jut looking for less pain.

    1. Ubuntu 10.10
    2. Acer
    3. Aspire One D260

    These are not major problems but sometimes create problems (mostly while writing) OSD of Wi-Fi and Caps and Num Locks are not shown.

    PS: Card reader is not working!

    Ubuntu version: 10.10 netbook remix
    Manufacturer: HP
    Model: tm2t

    Problems:
    * No right click on touch pad. Touch pad also stays on when typing.
    * No switching between the two graphics cards the computer has. Is always running on ATI card. Kills battery too quickly.
    *Black screen error on next start up if I install ATI driver.
    *No screen rotation when I put the computer in tablet mode.

    Re: Laptop INCOMPATABILITY List.

    1)Version Of Ubuntu - Anything above 9.04
    2)Laptop Maker - Toshiba
    3)Laptop Model - Satellite A135
    4)Known Issue - It will NOT accept any version above 9.04.
    I can load and reload and install all other versions. I can only update it so far and it fails again.
    Desktop - Dell Inspiron 4700, Intel P4 3ghz, 768gb RAM, 80gb HDD Running 10.04
    Laptop - Toshiba Satellite A135 Intel CeleronM 1.6ghz, 512mb RAM, 80gb HDD Running 9.04

    Because the Laptop won't accept any upgrade...

    Re: Laptop INCOMPATABILITY List.

    OS: Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook version
    Manufacturer: Dialogue
    Model: Flybook A33i

    Known issues: after logging in, just after some screen sections (the panels) load, all the windows and sections in the screen dissapear, and they reappear after a few seconds only to dissapear once again and so on...

    Apparently it has something to do with the video card drivers (the device has an old ATI Mobility Radeon.

    Purchased acer aspire 5252-v518 laptop.
    Installed UBUNTU 10.04.1 with all updates
    Cannot enable wireless using fn + f3 key.
    Wireless enabeled automatically with *******7

    Get the following error:
    Code:
     atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0x93 on isa0060/serio0).
    Code:
     atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e013 <keycode>' to make it known.
    *Selected acer laptop for keyboard layout in user preferences
    *upgraded to the latest bios version 2.04
    *installed wicd

    This is result of lshw -C network

    Code:
    *-network UNCLAIMED

           configuration: latency=0
           resources: memory:d1000000-d1003fff
    I'm assuming that's my wireless adapter.
    Is there anything else I can try, or is wireless hopeless with this model?

    Re: Laptop INCOMPATABILITY List.

    Computer: Acer Aspire AS5252-V518 Laptop Computer
    Operating System: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (32-bit)
    Processor: AMD V-Series Processor V-140
    Processor Speed: 2.3GHz
    Level 2 Cache: 512KB Level 2 Cache
    Front Side Bus: 1066MHz Frontside Bus
    RAM: 3GB DDR3 SDRAM

    Issue:
    Wireless antenna enabled on Windows boot-up; disabled on Ubuntu boot-up. Built-in wireless antenna cannot be enabled within Ubuntu. It seems to be a key code issue. Supposedly Windows is required to trigger the Fn + F3 toggle. Requires additional wireless adapter to access the Internet wirelessly. Wired Internet access works properly.
