Toshiba Satellite L655

[kachofool]

Hey,

I tried to install Ubuntu on a Toshiba laptop today. When I tried booting with Lynx, threw out a bunch of errors about kernel threads. When I tried Karmic, it would only boot with Safe Graphics (everything else hangs the system), but nothing is ever displayed. I hear the Ubuntu start-up sound but the display stays blank.

Does anyone have any advice on installing Ubuntu on this system?

I recently configured a Toshiba Satellite L655-S5115 laptop for a friend and summarized the hardware issues I encountered here:

The ethernet wasn't immediately recognized in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid 64-bit, so I installed 10.10 Maverick 64-bit. I had already upgraded the Toshiba BIOS to v1.70, and the problems I had were with wireless, audio, and the battery.

If you're still having problems with running Ubuntu on your L655, perhaps a BIOS update would fix or improve the possible ACPI issue.

Good luck!
