Laptop: Toshiba A70
Model number: PSA70C RX100E
OS: Ubuntu 7.04 (has run 6.10, 6.06, 5.10)
CPU: Pentium® 4 supporting Hyper-Threading 3.20 GHz
Video: ATI 9100 IGP RS300M, 64MB-128MB shared memory
Screen: 15.4 inch wide (aka short) screen, 1280X800
Sound: ATI IXP AC97 / Realtek ACL202
Modem: ATI IXP AC97 Modem
Ethernet: Realtek RTL8101L
Wireless: Atheros AR5212 802.11abg
Firewire: Texas Instruments TSB43AB21
Cardbus: ENE Technology CB-710/2/4
RAM: 1.0Gb DDR
DVD/CD: Matsushita DVD-RAM UJ-820S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM
HDD: Samsung HM120JC ATA 5400rpm (replaced original Toshiba)
Touchpad: AlpsPS/2 GlidePoint

I have not tested / used:
- the Firewire or Cardbus capabilities;
- suspend/resume capabilities;
- the modem.

Both sound and wireless worked fine right from the install with 6.06, 6.10, and 7.04. I recall having some difficulties with wireless in 5.10, but can't recall what they were. Also, in 6.10 it was difficult to connect to a new wireless service.

The graphics card is not well-supported by the proprietary ATI drivers, so I use the Radeon free driver. This seems reasonably fast - glxgears gives ~ 660 fps with no tuning. Compiz works fine, except that there seems to be a known bug involving the interaction between Java 5 and Compiz - nothing shows up in Java windows with the desktop effects enabled. This is not a problem with the desktop effects disabled.

I had a huge problem, since 6.10, with the window system hanging, reported as bug #98999. In Feisty I noted a boot message about "8254 timer not connected", which seems to have been noted before, reported it as well. After inserting "noapic" in # defoptions in /boot/grub/menu.lst the hanging problem seems to be gone.

For my purposes, now that the hanging thing seems to be gone :) I really enjoy this laptop again - it was great in Breezy and Dapper too. The monitor is very bright, though 1280 X 800 is a bit too low-resolution for my taste, and the keyboard has a pleasant amount of feedback. I really disklike the touchpad, and use a nice USB optical mouse designed / imported by Chameleon. In terms of processing, the machine is very fast.

Feisty 7.04
Toshiba A100 Laptop
Celeron M1.46
ATI Radeon Xpress 200M
Realtek AC97 sound
Atheros AR5211 wireless
Epson CX3810 All-in-one

Sound was down on startup so I did this:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils
sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils gdm ubuntu-desktop ubuntu-minimal
sudo rmmod snd-hda-intel
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel probe_mask=8 model=auto
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
and add "options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=8 model=auto" to the end of the file

Network Manager worked great, my Atheros wireless worked out of the gate with the ath0 driver Feisty installed. To get wep working I had to check my router settings to 'Open Key' not managed or otherwise.

Video is an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M and worked at 1280 on startup and after checking the box in the 'Restricted Drivers' box it was off to the 3d races, very nice.

Printer is an Epson CX3810 All-in-one. The built-in driver prints beautifully, but scanning was a challenge. So, I found http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/dl_scan.html for scanner drivers (printers too apparently). And did this to make it work:
install sane libsane-backends then uninstall libsane-backends (weird yes, need pieces, but it then had trouble overwriting the backend driver, and this worked) *shrug*
install iscan *.deb
make menu item for iscan
I love that scanner driver, it's beautiful, simple, and makes nice scans.

The Big One! Suspend-to-ram with the ATI fglrx drivers (your mileage may vary, I doubt I can help more, but here's how I did it)
sudo gedit /etc/acpi/sleep.sh
On second line put: sudo chvt 1
sudo gedit /etc/acpi/lid.sh
On second line put: sudo chvt 1
sudo gedit /etc/acpi/resume.sh
On last line put: sudo chvt 7
sudo gedit /etc/default/acpi-support
Edit lines thusly:
MODULES_WHITELIST="fglrx"
SAVE_VBE_STATE=false
POST_VIDEO=false
DOUBLE_CONSOLE_SWITCH=true

OK, I now have suspend working with AC plugged in, plus closing the lid works for suspend. But, on battery power it gets stuck going down to suspend, and comes to the locked screen and will not take keyboard input. But it does work!!

Feisty 7.04
Toshiba A135
Intel Core Duo 1.7 GHz
Intel 945 graphic Card
1 GB RAM

The sound was down, I followed the step-by-step guide.
It worked after this:
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, added "hda-intel" at the end of the file.

The wired network worked find. I have a static IP and I used a proxy server.
Didn't test the WLAN yet.
Didn't test the modem.

The suspend and hibernate options are working fine too.
3D desktop working great :)

That's all I tested till now, I'm new a Linux user by the way.

Sony Vaio VGN-FE41Z & Feisty/Gutsy/Hardy/Intrepid
http://sp.sony-europe.com/media/18/8618 (http://vaio.sony.co.uk/view/ShowProduct.action?product=VGN-FE41Z&site=voe_en_GB_cons&category=VN+FE+Series)

Updated for Gutsy, Hardy, and Intrepid

I was pleased to find that Feisty supports all the hardware on this laptop without any hassles. There are issues with suspend and hibernate. Suspend/Resume will mostly work but sometimes isn't reliable. These can usually be traced back to a known bug with the uvcvideo driver. The solution is to have it unloaded before suspend. The way to so that is to add the module name to the MODULES="" setting in /etc/default/acpi-support, e.g

MODULES="iwl3945 uvcvideo r5u870"

If using Compiz/Desktop Effects the Compiz option 'sync to vblank' should be disabled otherwise the Gnome desktop won't be displayed on resume. A bug in Feisty's 2.6.20 kernel will cause the HDA audio to loop and crackle after resume. This is caused by an overwrite of the HDA PCI register TCSEL when the 2nd core of the CPU is started. I have published a patch to fix this against the bug snd-hda-intel: distorted sound after resume, until the module is reloaded (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/100114). I've found that more than one resume causes the screensaver to loose keyboard input, and any attempt to restart gdm leads to an Nvidia driver failure that requires a restart to fix. Gutsy, Hardy and Intrepid seem fine.

The alternative Fn-blue function keys are not currently supported by the sonypi module. It appears they are managed by the newer Sony Notebook Control ACPI device via the Embedded Controller (EC) hardware. This is being actively worked on - see the Calling All Vaio Owners thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=465491) for how you can help the new sony-laptop kernel driver support all the custom hardware options on Vaios: Programmable S1 S2 keys, Fn keys, radio power for WiFi and Bluetooth, power for LAN, Audio, Camera and CD, Screen brightness, contrast, and switching to external displays.

Vaio Gnome panel applet. I am writing an easy-to-use control applet that will allow users to easily configure all functions of the Sony Notebook Control, Sony PI, and EC. It is a multi-tabbed applet with controls grouped logically. It will ensure your preferences are saved and applied at startup.

The external ExpressCard/34 5-in-1 Flash card reader adapter works with SD cards. I've not had chance to test it with MMC, xD, or MemoryStick Pro. With SD cards there is sometimes a problem with older cards that are physically just slightly thicker than usual. This prevents the contacts from touching the pins in the adapter unless you put it under physical pressure which is not a workable solution, so ensure you're using thin cards.

The internal Texas Instruments 5-in-1 Flash card chip-set that is connected to the internal MemoryStick 2 slot is also recognised. However, the kernel modules to support MemoryStick or xD cards on the TI chip-set are in the early stages (http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=TI_FlashMedia_xx12/xx21_driver) and not available unless you build them yourself. As on Intrepid the tifm and memstick modules will be available as they are in the mainline kernel. I'm working on an Ubuntu DKMS package to backport them to Hardy LTS.

The Nvidia proprietary drivers work fine driving both the DFT, as well as external VGA and S-Video displays. TwinView with the desktop spanning both displays works fine. With the NVIDIA X Server Settings utility (Applications -> System Tools) choose X Server Display configuration and then press Detect Displays. When the display appears in the Layout window choose it and then press Configure... and choose TwinView. After unplugging a display press Detect Displays again to return to a single screen.

I've tested the VGN-FE41Z with 32-bit and 64-bit Feisty/Gutsy/Hardy/Intrepid Desktop and found no problems due to Ubuntu.

Originally I kept the existing disk partitions (sda1=Sony Vista Recovery, sda2=Vista Home Premium) and added swap (2GB) partition in sda3, sda4 is an extended partition for sda5=/boot (256MB), sda6=/ (32-bit 9GB), sda7=/ (64-bit 9GB), sda8=/home. Now, I've removed Sony Vista Recovery, moved and shrunk Vista Home Premium, and put all but /boot in an encrypted LVM volume that requires a USB key to unlock (no password is assigned).

Note: The easy way to shrink the Vista partition is to use Vista itself. Unlike XP, Vista can shrink its own partitions! Go to Control Panel, System Administration, Disk Management, select the Vista partition, right-click, and choose Shrink. I made it 27GB.

The only devices not supported immediately are the Intel High Definition Audio HSF V92 SoftModem and the built-in Motion Eye video camera. The camera has a Ricoh chip-set and Alex Hixon now maintains the r5u870 driver (originally by Sam Revitch). Project details can be found at R5U870 driver (http://wiki.mediati.org/R5u870) and Ubuntu packages for Gutsy/Hardy/Intrepid are available from my PPA[url].

Until you install the drivers you'd not notice the modem in Hardware Information at all. Linuxant have created [url=http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hsf/index.php]proprietary drivers for the Intel HDA HSF V92 software modem (https://launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive). The driver is available as a $19.99 fully capable driver or a free 14,400 baud speed-limited version. The installation process was smooth (I used the automatic Internet installation method). The big drawback is it conflicts badly with the Intel HDA sound driver and generates a lot of spurious messages to the log files which show it is not entirely production-quality. I'd avoid it unless it is essential.

I have created a Gnome panel applet to control the Nvidia display brightness because it isn't supported by the default tools. You can get SmartDimmer here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=451781). Again, packages for Feisty/Gutsy/Hardy/Intrepid are available from my PPA[url].

The FE41Z has the Intel Core 2 Duo T7200, a CPU that supports VMX (Virtualisation). Unfortunately Sony do not provide a BIOS option to enable VMX and the BIOS locks the MSR register 0x3A, preventing other software from doing so. I'm hoping Sony will eventually provide the option but I'm also working on a BIOS hack so that VMX is available - it was a prime reason why I chose this model!

I finally managed to manually re-program the NV-RAM settings using a DOS utility called symcmos, once I'd identified which tokens to alter. Unfortunately these token locations change in different BIOS versions so there is no universal way to enable VMX across models and BIOSes. [url="http://tjworld.net/wiki/Sony/Vaio/FE41Z/HackingBiosNvram"]Details of my research (https://launchpad.net/~intuitivenipple/+archive).

During my snc module investigations I discovered an ACPI battery bug in the Differentiated System Description Table (DSDT) in the BIOSes of every Sony Vaio model we've seen so far. You can read about it here (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2855943&postcount=55) and find a fix for it in the thread ACPI: battery-technology reported as non-rechargeable (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=475801).

Compaq Presario laptop with
Processor: AMD Turion 64 bit, 2.0 GHz, 512 KB cache
Nvidia GeForce 6150 on board graphics card
512 MB RAM
DVD writer
80 GB SATA HDD
integrated SD/MMC card reader
integrated WiFi, LAN 100Mbps

OS: Xubuntu Feisty fawn 7.04 64 bit AMD dual boot with Windows XP

I had problems installing the standard Ubuntu 64 bit ( the installer seemed to hang while partitioning the drives), but the Xubuntu installer worked flawlessly. it detects most of my harware automatically, even the card reader! However there are some issues:

1. The laptop function keys do not work. I guess other laptop users face a similar problem.. it's been reported

2. laptop screen brightness cannot be adjusted. smartdimmer doesn't work... gives "init_nvclock() failed!" message.

3. hibernate is quite slow .... as compared to windows XP. switch user tends to hang sometimes

4.nvidia driver doesn't get installed; i still have to use the Nv driver (tried apt-get)

Otherwise, it's been a welcome change from XP, much faster! (except for the internet speed)

Hi there,

I have not been able to find any info if Feisty works fine with Sony Vaio VGN-TX3XP. Does anone know? The graphics card (Mobile intel 945GM Express Chipset Family) gave me a lot of problems with Fedora Core 6.

Thanks in advance.. (Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this question)

Ubuntu 6.10
ASUS A9Rp Laptop
1.8 Ghz Celeron,ATI Radeon Xpress 200M,ZyDAS 1211B Wireless,Realtek HDA Audio

Every thing is detected but WIRELSS,Audio(Built in speakers are OK but the 3.5 mm jack has weak sound),Modem

I could solve audio and wireless problems:D, users follow the instructions bellow:

1-Download and install kernel sources, I copied it to /usr/src/

2-Get this patch for audio and decompress to your kernel source root folder, mine is:/usr/src/linux-2.6.21-5
ftp://ftp.alsa-project.org/pub/kernel-patches/alsa-git-2007-05-03.patch.gz
so, you should have alsa-git-2007-05-03.patch in your linux kernel source folder

3-Open console and run:
patch -p1 <alsa-git-2007-05-03.patch
OK, Now kernel is patched for audio, we proceed to wireless.

4-Say your kernel source folder is like mine, /usr/src/linux-2.6.21-5, open this file:
/usr/src/linux-2.6.21-5/drivers/net/wireless/zd_usb.c and add this line to the ZD1211-B section:
{ USB_DEVICE(0x0b05, 0x171b), .driver_info = DEVICE_ZD1211B },
Save the file.

5-Now you should download this file and decompress the content into /lib/firmware/zd1211(if this directory does not exist, create it)
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=129083

OK,we are almost done!Now, you should compile the new kernel and install it.You can open /usr/src/linux-2.6.21-5/README.txt to find out how to do so. what I did:

cd /usr/src/linux-2.6.21-5
Make oldconfig
Make
Make modules_install
Make install

If using GRUB, you are done!Reboot and enjoy:)
If using LILO, reinstall LILO and reboot and enjoy!

The above procedures should work with other versions of ubuntu as well as other distributions. One of my friends has done it in OpenSUSE 10.2 without any problem.

Update (29th May 2007):
[INDENT]I've created a custom BIOS that enables VMX. It turns out that module BIOSCODE6 already includes the instruction to set the VMX bit, but that it is jumped-over because a check of the user's Setup configuration says VMX is disabled (the user never gets the chance to enable it!). For this custom BIOS I simply over-write the jump instruction with 2 no-op (NOP) op-codes so the instruction that sets bit 2 of MSR 0x3A is executed.
Unfortunately, the tool from Phoenix that allows the BIOS to have its modules extracted and re-catenated, BIOS Editor Pro v2.2, isn't totally reliable and can corrupt the resulting BIOS image such that when it is programmed by Phoenix WinPhlash the PC becomes a brick.

can u share your custom BIOS with other sony viao user?

Core 2 Du0 E6700 2.6Ghz, (overclocked slightly to about 2.71Ghz to see if it could be done)
ASRock 775i65G (rev 2.0) Motherboard. AMI BIOS, (Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2)
1Gb OCZ Voltage Extreme DDR (PC400) RAM

2x Seagate ST3320620A Barracuda 7200.10 (320GB Ultra ATA) hard drives.

I love ASRock boards, cheap, and rock solid. No problems at all expect Grub hates ATI cards, add "nosplash" to you boot line, to get around the splash freeze problem. However the 32bit 7.04 boot CD has no problems with the splash image.

This setup works very well for an inexpensive XP/Feisty duel boot with no repartitioning risk:

E-Machines T3828
Celeron D Processor
512 MG RAM
two Western Digital 80 Gig Hard drives.
Embarq 100Mb/s Ethernet box, E100 driver.
Ubuntu 7.04

Starting with a normal XP-box, make existing XP-drive Slave, install new blank drive as Master. Install Ubuntu to Master drive, GRUB will load with Ubuntu, no changes made to XP drive. A useful setup for a desktop that requires XP for work. No risk to Windows files.

Hi,

I've installed Feisty (Ubuntu 7.04) on my company-laptop this weekend.

It worked mostly out of the box :guitar:.

The only thing I had to customize was the resolution; it booted with 1280x1024.
To switch to native 1280x800 I installed 915resolution and set the mode to 1280x800 16bit

$sudo 915resolution 38 1280 800

Custom steps:
- Resized existing windows-partition using gparted.

Works fine. Suspend works. Hibernate works too. Like the rest of the A135 series you need to compile your ALSA drivers to get the sound to turn off on the laptop when you plugin a headset.

It's "Dual Core" but won't run 64-bit. Battery seems to last about 2 hours and a half.
Very good buy.

Western Digital 80GB IDE HD
Seagate 200GB IDE HD
Creative Soundblaster Live! 24-bit PCI
Philips DVD-R/RW drive
Dell FP1707 17" LCD monitor

the first time i installed Ubuntu Feisty, (nearly) everything worked great and even the ATI card used native resolution of the monitor (1024x768 ) without any extra configuration. had a little trouble enabling the sound correctly on the SB Live! card, mostly because there's 4 different CA1086 items listed with no indicator as to which is what. in spite of that, i was able to get sound output from the hardware. had some trouble with VLC player not putting out sound, but that's a software issue.

after hacking around with different stuff, installing Fedora onto the same drive (and over the top of Ubuntu by accident), i formatted and re-installed Feisty again last night. now ATI card only goes to 800x600 res. not sure about anything else yet; haven't had much time to look at it more in-depth.

the holy grail for me on this computer is to be able to use the TV-Out on the ATI card to play stuff on my HDTV from Ubuntu. currently i do that with Catalyst Control Center in Windows XP via S-Video (this is dual-boot machine.) if i can do that via the DVI port to HDMI, that would be the best, but i'd settle for S-Video *if* it works correctly from w/in ubuntu.

This install started as a 6.06 but I have upgraded it to 7.10 through apt-get over the past couple months. It was actually in a Dell E521 pc with the same parts as above except the mobo / cpu / ram, but I just plugged it into this new system and it booted right up. No complaints, and the ONLY thing I had to fix was the time. works perfectly.

The only thing that I don't know works is the onboard soundcard (cmedia?) as I haven't tried it. It probably will though.

Fortron Source 300W Green PSU [82% efficiency]

overall performance is great, i've only used 64bit to date however, i dual boot with winblows for other apps that aren't available in linux that i use.

i have no trouble with Ubuntu, but other distros i've tried have only worked in VMWare, outside of that they don't work...not sure what to think about that.

just don't make the mistake of running dual channel ram in single channel mode...it hindered my performance until i realized it.
---------
i'm about to look into dual display graphics cards, any suggestions on ATi or nVidia [i realize i will most likely have to reinstall the OS for it].

Hiyawl,

Since mine is a home brew computer (it's about 3 years old, so I'll try to remember what I put in it), this might help a few:

Athlon 64 3000+
Gigabyte KV8M (or something similar - it has a VIA chipset and video driver)
DVD Burner (I painted it, so I can't remember) but I've had an Optorite work on another machine, sorry found it - it is an LG. I bought a pioneer on the advice of a computer mag and it shat itself (with very little use too) within a couple of months and took down the IDE on the previous boardto this one (The gigabyte is a replacement board- cost about $50 AUD) I digress
Sapphire ATI (I know, I bought it when I was still a windblower) 9550 - 256mb RAM

I am a definite newbie to Linux and especially to Ubuntu. I've attempted various distros in the past and am so far fairly impressed with Feisty Fawn (I'm using Ubuntu Ultimate). So, the hardware list: 1) Asus motherboard about 3 years old - I forget which model - with onboard sound, 2) Sapphire Radeon 9200 128Mb video, 3) USRobotics wireless USB network adapter, 4) two IDE hard drives.

Ubuntu detected all my hardware and even the wireless adapter works right off the bat. The only thing with the wireless is it will give me a WPA option, only WEP.

I've gotten Compiz-fusion to work, although it has a problem similar to Beryl in that it won't work on more than one user at a time, even if you log off the first user where it was running. Example: I log into my user and run Compiz it is fine. I log off and log into another user and run Compiz then I get blank windows. This is with version 0.5.1.

The only thing I haven't gotten to work yet is setting up a printer.:(

Hiya all.
We have installed 7.04 The Fawn. Works very well. Quick and consistent. We are very happy with our switch from Mandriva; which we ran for the last 5 years or so.

PIII 1700 500M ram nividia TNT card. Two 20gb HDs. Dual boot w/ neutered XP(for the 5 mins here and there) on Master and /home on slave.

Haven't gotten around to installing our Brother printer yet though....

Thanks to all who put in the hard work to make Ubuntu what it is!

Newly built system two weeks ago (07/30/07). Dual booting Vista Home Premium and Feisty.

Intel D975XBX2 motherboard
Intel Core Due E6600 2.4 Ghz processor
2GB Kingston DDR2800 (PC2 6400) KVR800D2K2 RAM
320 GB Western Digital SATA II WD3200AAKS Hard Drive
Radeon Sapphire 512MB X1650PRO PCI-e x16 video card
PCTEL 789T HSP MicroModem 56K (cheap spare one I had lying around - used for faxing)
Mitsumi FA404M combination 1.44mb floppy drive/USB card reader
Philips 20X SPD2413BD DVD Burner

Booted right up on the first try! All hardware except winmodem worked right "out of the box" - even the video card which I had expected I would have some difficulty with before loading restricted ATI drivers. After loading ATI's proprietary restricted graphics driver and compiling the modem drivers, performance is excellent. Bear in mind, though, that I am not a gamer.

Everything but wireless detected out of the box. I got wireless working with ndiswrapper using a guide found here. The best functionality of wireless is with the actual drivers for my computer that I got on hp's homepage. I got the latest supported graphics driver from alberto milone's Envy script which also compiled a kernel for complete stability. I recommend this over the standard ubuntu restricted driver install of the driver.

Overall I am very pleased with the functionality of Feisty on my laptop. Everything works perfectly...just wish I had a better computer...oh well.

All works fine, except for M/B sensors,which recognized by lm-sensors, but they don't have any drivers for it yet, so I'm unable to monitor and change FAN speed, and Voltage.
Intel's Core2Duo CPU has it's own temp sensors and works under Linux.

No special adjustments were needed, everything worked out of the box.

Ubuntu worked on installation, with the following changes, I had to add Synaptics Touchpad driver [gsynaptic] to get the small square scroll button between the left and right buttons to work correctly AND to be able to turn OFF the tap feature. Secondly I had to install the Intel video driver [xserver-xorg-video-intel] using the Synaptic package manager. The Intel install was very easy and now my screen resolution is correct (which appears very clear). By the way all I did is to add the Intel driver and the system did every thing else to make the changes.

The SD card reader worked without any changes, the WiFi worked without any changes, after getting the needed codecs the DVD player plays movies, and CD music.

Update: I was able to rip a CD and then burn a blank with the ripped material, using Sound Juicer + Serpentine.

Easy Launch Keys: The keys for e-mail and web browser work for me using Thunderbird and Firefox, respectively. Had to set each application to check if it was the default when they started, and hit the check now button to make sure they were before they would launch with the buttons. Have not found a way to set the other two buttons (Acer Empowering Technology- the "e" button, and the "P" user programmable button) yet. If anyone knows how please post it somewhere and let me know.

Everything seems to work just fine and im quite satisfied with ubuntu, the only drawback im having is getting the raid device to install and bootup correctly. The other drawback is the ATI card not wanting to work correctly. I recommend not getting the x1650 for it has been a pain in linux for me, and i will have another post (in another section) on my x1650 card and what seems to be the problem.

what does not:
1. Dell TrueMobile 1150 is not supported by http://bcm43xx.berlios.de/

Notes:
Install encountered problems with xserver. Turns out I needed a new BIOS (A32). If you are thinking of installing UBUNTU on this machine, flash the BIOS from Windows first - it's the easiest way, especially if you only have one computer. Otherwise you will have to create a bootable DOS CD with the executable for the BIOS loaded.

Any X11 configuration will NOT work if BIOS is not at least A32.
Better write your xorg.conf file and follow the one posted on this site:

2) Type Of Hardware - Inkjet printer

3) Hardware Maker - HP

4) Hardware Model - Deskjet 6988

Gutsy recognized this printer when I plugged in the USB cable and made the necessary entry in the "Printer Configuration" dialog. The HPIJS driver was selected and worked fine.

I tried to use the HPLIP Toolbox, but it reported device not found, even though it did show the printer. I corrected this by upgrading to HPLIP 2.7.9, which is the most current version on the HPLIP website.

Ubuntu Feisty arch = i686

Hardware: KONICA-MINOLTA magicolor 2430 DL

Printer supported natively by Feisty.

Only caveat: There are TWO magicolor 2430 DL. Older one made by Minolta-QMM and newer one made by KONICA-MINOLTA.

I have KONICA-MINOLTA newer model. The native support, though is for the Minolta-QMM version.

However, the drivers installed work OK, but do as follows:

1. Install straightforward via System/Administration/Printing

2. In the case of the KONICA-MINOLTA, it wil be detected as KONICA-MINOLTA at the USB-port where it is plugged into, and of course printer is to be ready.

3. The installation will offer other models, none being for the 2430 DL. Don't choose any of those.

4. Instead, click tab to CHANGE MANUFACTURER and change it to "Minolta".

5. Under the manufacturer "Minolta" the 2430 will indeed show-up. Click on that one. Click proceed. Do not install any drivers.

6. Printer will be correctly installed.

7. Double click on resulting icon (PROPERTIES) to make it DEFAULT printer.

8. It if by default 'monochrome'. Change it to print in color, where would hereby recoomend:

9. Do not use icm files. Set it for Color Photos and Text, and Calorimet ric Intent.
Why? That's what got me the best match of color. However, verify for yourself, under the caveat that under SOME choices, the printer MIGHT NOT PRINT.

Also, a resolution of 2400 points is there, but not in the printer. Choosing THAT resolution the printer still printed. I set my resolution to 600 x 600, though, and noticed no eye differencce.

Good luck.

Hardware: Clevo M550SE basic build without wireless networking, modem, card reader or camera.
processor: x86 Family 6 Model 14 Stepping 12 Genuine Intel ~1729 Mhz DUAL
RAM: 1GB 667MHz (highest amount possible for the single slot)
BIOS Version/Date Phoenix Technologies LTD 6.00, 16/08/2007
Manufacturer's web page for specs
http://www.clevo.com.tw/en/products/prodinfo_2.asp?productid=26

Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 live CD kernel 15 install as dual boot with Win XP Pro - done as a comparison between each OS out-of-the-box (without proprietary drivers and without extra Ubuntu drivers).

All basics work first up, with about 30s to boot. A bios bug and a memory resource allocation error message flash by, but don't influence booting. Will probably need to be tracked down for fine video resolution later on, but it looks like there's enough memory to run all kinds of video.
Screen resolution defaults to a slightly too anamorphic 1024x768 at 61hz, ( and the resolution can't be changed with the Gnome UI) but it is a better read than the default Win XP Pro "safe"-like resolution out of the box. And even with the proprietary drivers, the Win experience is underwhelming. The Gnome desktop has just so much more clarity and reading-friendliness on these small lcds.

Battery management is as desired, with hibernation smoothly enabled in the prefs and with all function keys for screen power responding as expected. This includes default screen off with lid closing.
NOTE that the default power applet misreports the power source in the narrative balloon, even though the system prefs respond correctly. AND the screen doesn't automatically dim when battery power is chosen.
There are fewer power management options in the Win out of the box.

Audio works as a muted compromise driver for all application outputs, the mixer hasn't been tried to increase the volume of output or for recording from the inbuilt mic, nor has the spid interface been tried.
With the Win XPPr0 SP2 (up to date) out of the box, zero audio.

Optical drive plays basic discs on default apps. Of course, there aren't enough default codecs for a good range of read operations.

After applying all Ubuntu auto updates - to kernel version 16 - the installation remains stable, but with no extra fine function added so far.

The machine has been acquired as a basically un-networked book reader for a disabled user.
Ten out of ten for the functionality overall.
8 out of ten for a few fine tunings, and it looks as though Gutsy will have those answers without the user needing to do too much manual driver installation.

Also had some trouble with the install, same problem with 7.04. It would boot the live CD, start the install. Hit about 70%, installing locales and it would hang without fail. I finally found some help on here, sorry I can't find the original post.
They suggested pressing Esc at the live CD prompt, pressing ok. then typing:
live acpi = off
The system installed without crashing until I rebooted.
I had to edit the first line of the grub boot loader and added
acpi = off
as the second last line.

I use the system for playing/streaming media, hosting my Django powered website and everything else I need a computer for.

FYI, I've been running Ubuntu 7.10 on my laptop for a couple weeks now. I needed to be print some things so I went to Best Buy and purchased a HP C4385 PhotoSmart Printer. I went through the setup, plugged the USB into my laptop and Ubuntu recognized it and automatically installed the HP C4200 Foomatic driver. I printed my stuff immediately and it worked flawlessly. Pretty cool. I haven't tried the scanner yet. I think that might be a bit more challenging.

Worked perfect out of the box - literally. I plugged in the USB (even though the instructions for Mac & Windows say to install their software first) and after about 30 seconds Gutsy recognized the printer and I got to test it out. It couldn't find the specific PPD file even though it was on a CD loaded and mounted in my CD drive, but it worked with the generic PPD driver just fine. Since I had the specific driver provided by Brother, I went ahead and installed it when prompted by Gutsy to replace the generic one. All is well. Now I have to try to install this thing for XP........

With the Vesa driver, widescreen modes are not available. Once the ATI proprietary driver is correctly installed, the screen can operate correctly in widescreen nodes. I had to do the driver installation manually (the APT installation was unsuccessful)

See manual installation of ATI driver (http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Method_2:_Install_ the_8.42.3_Driver_Manually) for the procedure that worked for me.

Installing Ubuntu 7.10 went without any problem on this laptop. After installation I got a notice to enable the restricted driver for the video card; after doing this and rebooting again, Compiz desktop effects work. All hardware including wireless networking and the webcam work out of the box.

There is only one thing that does not work: the internal microphone. This is a known bug: bug #147682 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell/+bug/147682).
*edit*: I see that there is a fix available for the internal microphone. I installed it and now it works.

I think these computers are 8 years old (1999 vintage)

Intel SE440BX2 Motherboard Revision 17 BIOS / P3 850Mhz / 500Mhz / 450Mhz processors / 512 MB PC100 SDRAM on each computer

nVidia FX 5200 video cards
Linksys LNE100TX cards

only needed the restricted reponsitory for the nVidla drivers

got a small 16 computer Edubuntu network running with a single HP2500 Color LaserJet Ethernet (using JetDirect) network printer all with Internet Access

They run much better under Edubuntu than they did under Win2000 and I was very much surprised how easy and fast it was to set up. (Compared to getting all of them working under Windows, then installing Office onto each one.)

Works fine as a network printer too. The printer itself is small but a bit noisy (compared to my old monster of a Lexmark).

Comments:

The installer may select the intel driver for the integrated graphics, be sure to use the i810 driver instead. The change can be easily done using:

gksu displayconfig-gtk

The tested computer came with a Conexant HSF 56k Data/Fax Modem, the Dell driver can be used:

2) The main parts of my Acer Aspire 7220 are working but I still have to configure some others :

The video card is a geforce 7000M

Make sure the restricted driver is installed (nvidia-glx-new)
execute
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
Open Restricted Drivers Manager and enable the nVidia driver.
reboot and it should be OKWireless (Atheros AR9006EG lspci id : 168c : 001c)

mkdir /tmp/wifi
cd /tmp/wifi

tar -xvzf madwifi-ng-r2756+ar5007.tar.gz
cd madwifi...
make
sudo make install

Sound card
Download : linux-backports-modules
And edit this file : /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
To add the following line :
options snd-hda-intel model=acer

My next step is the webcam : Acer Crystal Eye Webcam (recognized but doesn't seem to work)
And then bluetooth (not tested), memory card reader (not tested neither)...

DFI Ultra M2 Motherboard

After install I would get a black screen when I tried to boot into the OS. I found a post that showed me how to fix the problem, and i wish i remember which one it is, but alas, i do not... I fixed it by booting into recovery mode and doing this:

lower the splash screen resolution to 1024x768

sudo nano /etc/usplash.conf

edited the kernel line in the grub boot config:

sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
1) remove quiet splash and add nosplash noapic nolapic
2) add vga=791 to the end

then i made one more change before i rebooted:

sudo update-initramfs -u -k `uname -r`

Overall, though. I do like Gutsy.

I have the same problem when I try to activate the ATI drivers for my ATI Radeon x1600 pro, do you think that this could have been the same problem you were having?

If that doesn't work you need to install xgamma from the repos.

broadcom 4310 wireless card
soundmax hd audio

6.10 worked alright, Feisty worked well, and Gutsy works awesomely.
upon clean install gutsy automatically installs correct video card driver, no messing with xorg.conf required. it also installs sound card perfectly, so that the control buttons for volume work and the headphones jack turns off the speakers when its hot plugged.
the wireless is a bit tricky. i have to uninstall network-manager-gnome which is the network applet that tells you what network youre on, and lets you change networks with the gui on the taskbar. this is no big deal to me becuase theres another different applet you can put on the taskbar that tells you the same thing, and you can change your networks manually by doing
sudo network-admin

Please pay attention that my video adapter is officially blacklisted by compiz developers - you may have it to work with some magic, but there will be no ability for video playback with 3d desktop enabled (I can't get it work).

Internet threads says that wlan works as usual, nevertheless I can't get it work properly still (the problem is in my arms, I'm afraid ') I hope that the solution for Intel X3100 Graphics chipset will be available soon...

Also there are some problems with ACPI (attempts of suspend and hibernation modes causes system hang-ups from time to time)

Ubuntu 7.10

Hardware:
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 rev 2.1
Intel E6750
2x1G Kingston Value RAM (KVR800D2N5K2)
200GB Western Digital IDE HDD (WDC WD20 00JB-00K)
160gb Seagate IDE HDD (ST316002)
Gigabyte 8600GT 512MB GDDR2 (NX86T512H)
LG SATA DVD Burner (GH20NS10)

Had problems with the DVD Burner not able to read some DVDs. Same DVDs read fine in Windows XP.
Have a weird problem with the 200GB WD HDD where windows fails to install if the HDD has multiple partitions. Sometimes it won't load into the windows first part of setup. Sometimes I get through that and then get disk read errors or ntloader not found once rebooting after setup files have been copied to the HD. I managed to install Windows by removing all the partitions.
Need to get me some SATA HDD's when I gets money.

Hi folks - a bit of positive feedback.

I just bought a Samsung Colour Laser Printer CLP-350N. (the N suffix indicates that it has a network connection port)

Setup on Ubuntu (7.10 Gutsy) was easy as a postscript printer

1- plug printer into my router
2- add printer in admin-->printing
3- printer found on network
4- install printer using PPD file on disk supplied (smc350.ppd)
job done. seems to produce perfect prints from Firefox, GIMP, Openoffice etc

there is also a proprietry linux driver on the disk, but I didn't bother with this

Only one complaint - doesn't come with either a USB lead or a RJ45 network lead - I had a spare one but it would be very annoying if I hadn't!

Very very relieved that my post here wasn't a cry for help!!!

Take it steady folks
Cheers

Matt

1) Connect your printer.

2) Install driver via 'sudo apt-get install hplip'.

3) GO to System > Printing. Let it your printer, then select it from the list.

4) Test it with the HP-Toolbox by typing hp-toolbox at the shell prompt.

5) Also try printing a page form something some other program.

February 18th, 2008, 08:39 PM

Two Brother HL2030 laser printers (monochrome) using Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper, each on a 2.8GHz PC.

I bought one printer about a year ago for the first PC and found it so easy to instal and it worked so well that I have bought the same model printer for a second PC. The HL2030 is 16 pages per minute, 8MB memory, 2400 x 600 dpi and connects via USB 2 cable.

I have just bought the second one from Amazon UK for £60.85 plus VAT (and a USB cable at £2.55 plus VAT). [Make sure you are buying direct from Amazon and you can use "Supersaver" to get free delivery in the UK.]

I downloaded drivers from the Brother Linux printer driver pages. Instal the LPR driver first from:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_drivers.html
The method is here:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/lpr_install.html

Then the CUPS driver from:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_drivers.html
The method is here:
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/sol/printer/linux/cups_wrapper_install3.html

Check in Systems | Administration | Printing to make sure the printer is shown.

Connect the printer to the power and switch on. Connect the USB cable to the PC, then to the printer. Press the "Go" button on the printer to print a test page

Happy printing! :)

thanks man

Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy)
External Hard Drive
Seagate
FreeAgent Go 160 GB

Comes formatted as NTFS, but can easily be changed to ext3 with GParted or similar tools. Actual capacity is about 6 or 7 GBs less than 160 due to the way memory is calculated (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabyte#Consumer_confusion). Also comes with preloaded software, incompatible with Linux, which can be easily erased from the drive.

I've heard several people complain about power issues with the USB ports, but so far I have not experienced this. With just one USB cord plugged in, I backed up my 26 GB home folder with no problems.

Boot as to have "pci=noacpi noapic" as options.

Bugs:
Boot was very long, corrected with changing the usplash screen size.[Solved]

PCMCIA wireless cards have some bug that are corrected with "pci=noacpi" on boot as option.[Solved]

On boot there is an error corrected with "noapic" on boot as option.[Solved]

No video/movie display due to Hardware bug on the ATI wich ACER never corrected with a BIOS update
So the only video/movie compatible drivers are the Catalyst 4.1 (the ones on their site) or below,
anything over that wont show video/movies. (if anyone know some linux drivers based on cat4.1 let me know :p )

Accessories:

Canon ZR830 DV Camera using Firewire IEEE1394a Cardbus and RAW1394 from the repository.

This was a bit taxing being relatively green to Linux. I had a hard time finding the proper info in one place to get Ubuntu to show from behind the blank screen. Once I put it all together it took no time at all.

*if you need to downgrade your BIOS you'll need a windows machine then download the driver from ftp://ftp.dell.com/bios/I2600A08.exe , create a boot floppy per instructions provided by the .exe when executed. You can also create a bootable CD that wll emulate your A:/ drive by downloading an .ISO image and using Nero to burn it. Get that here (http://www.bay-wolf.com/flashbios.htm). It should be noted that flashing your BIOS can be tricky so caution should be used in doing so.If you have a floppy handy use that. It's a lot easier.

Info regarding xorg.conf can be found here (http://www.apfrod.com/works/2008/03/15/ubuntu_8_04_hardy_heron_on_dell_inspiron_2600).

Ubuntu v7.10

HP / Compaq 8510p Laptop
Radeon 2600HD Video Card
Intel Gb Internal NIC
Bluetooth
WiFi (Broadcom?) - using driver: iwl4965
Dual booting with WinXP SP1
HP Colour LaserJet 4650dn works 100% over the network (haven't tried local printing).
USB tested with a small USB drive - works perfectly.

What worked:
Basic installation went without issue.
My NTFS Partition (WinXP) was easily and safely resized. I left it so that the WinXP/Bootloader wasn't overwritten (Grub went directly onto the partition, not the MBR).
Gb NIC works.
Wifi works (see note)
Sound works.
DVD/CD Player works
Bluetooth Works (see note)
Graphics Work (2d, no hw acceleration or 3d)

What I had problems with:
Sound works fine but not recording. Haven't looked at this yet, so it may be something simple.

Neither Suspend nor Hibernate appear to work. However, I haven't looked at this in depth and it also may be because I'm dual booting?

Problems with the Radeon 2600 HD video card.
This is the single biggest problem I'm having with Ubuntu on this particular laptop. I just can't seem to get the 3d drivers from ATI (or OpenSource equivalents) to work. There are so many forum threads and lots of people saying that they've solved their problem, but either the solutions are quite specific to some hardware (and therefore don't work for me) or I'm just doing something dumb.
The initial problems I had were that my laptop seemed stuck in 1280x1024 (compared to my normal 1680x1050) and I couldn't get the desktop to use some of the better 'Visual Effects' (it was stuck on 'None')
The resolution problem was solved by going into 'System | Administration | Screen and Graphics' and changing the model from 'plug-n-play' to 'LCD Panel 1680x1050'. I still can't get that actual resolution, but I can now get up to 1400x1050. I'm guessing that the resolution (no pun intended) to this problem is the video driver - when I get the correct driver installed, I'll have all the features including the highest resolution that my screen can do.
Essentially, the things I've tried are to select a new graphics card manually (Screen and Graphics), choosing by model, selecting various ATI Radeon options, trying both 'opensource' and 'proprietary'. Either nothing happens or I get an error and, upon logging back in, it's reset itself to the default (Vesa - Generic VESA-compliant video driver).
I've also downloaded the driver from ATI, followed the instructions and the package then created the Debian/Ubuntu 7.1 specific packages. I installed them (and that seemed to go ok) but no change - I'm still stuck with the VESA driver. I get this feeling from some forum posts that I need to remove some of the fglrx (what is that?) drivers, but Synaptic sees all the dependencies and it suggests that I have to uninstall Gnome and X to remove it all (which kind of defeats the purpose??).

Some problems that I had because I'm a noob:
Screen Brightness on Battery - I couldn't get the screen to stay 'bright' when on battery. I right-clicked on the battery icon and selected preferences. The tabs (AC, Battery, General) are familiar to people from Windows. There is a slider on the AC page that says display brightness and it's all the way to 100%. I clicked on the Battery tab, looked for a similar slide bar and saw that it was set to 75% (or something). I slid the bar to 100% because I wanted it to be 100% (just like the AC setting), but it didn't make the screen any brighter. Why? On the AC tab, the slider relates to brightness (100% = max), but on the battery tab, the slider actually means "what %'age should I dim the screen, when on battery". *If* I'd read the text rather than making an assumption, I wouldn't have got it wrong - so I made a mistake. However, having similar sliders acting in different ways is counter-intuitive and there's no real reason for it. It's a bit like having a sentence in a book with double negatives; it can be read correctly and it can make sense, but it does complicate the sentence and adds little value.... I got it wrong (1st and foremost) but the app could be more intuitive.

Wifi - Booted up the laptop without Wifi enabled, and logged in. I wanted to see if Wifi worked, even if the hardware wasn't enabled when Linux was booting - and it did. I clicked on the network icon (top right), selected my wifi network, entered the passkey and it connected perfectly. Next time I rebooted, I got an error about the Gnome Keyring manager - "Enter password for default keyring to unlock. The application nm-applet wants access to the default keyring, but it is locked.". I tried my user password and the root password, but had no joy. I didn't (don't) yet know what the keyring manager is, but assume it's some sort of Password / SSO DB. After giving up on that prompt (had to click 'Deny'), I had to manually enter the Wifi key again. And enter it again each time I rebooted... The fix was to click on the Network Icon (top right), select Manual and then, in the Wireless Connection section, Select 'Enable Roaming mode', select my Wifi network from the drop down box, enter the passkey, select DHCP and then click OK. The passkey is now remembered. Clearly, this is what I should have done, but when I wasn't connected to any network, I got a nice easy to understand list of possible networks and clicking on 'my' one and entering the passkey seemed to be the obvious way to connect (it was easy). Perhaps there should be a 'remember passkey' option? I'm not sure how this is going to work when I'm in a different location and do want to make an ad-hoc connection to another WiFi provider...

Bluetooth appears to work. My phone sees my laptop. However, as Bluetooth on my phone is a bit cranky (with everything) I haven't actually tested transferring files etc.

Rather than clog up this thread, if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, if they are mailed to me (ubuntu [at] lennington.co.uk) then I'll just edit this post and add in the comments.

Also, if I make any progress myself (miracles may happen) then I'll obviously update this post as well.

I have been a Ubuntu user on my work desktop and my laptop since the 5.0x days, and was disapointed when I got my new laptop and I couldn't get 7.10 to install due to problems with the graphics card not being recognized. :( Since I couldn't get the current version to load, I gave the new beta a try, and have been very happy with the results. :)

Just installed Ubuntu.
Celeron 366
256 Ram (maxed out)
30GB Hd
Wireless was the trick. Hawking Technologies HWC54G (ti chipset)

1. Install from add/remove programs, "windows wireless drivers"
2. Copy driver files to a folder the program can see.
3. Insert card.
4. Start program, it should see the card.
5. Copy driver files to a folder the program can see.
6. Find driver files from program.
7. Set up network manually from program, roaming doesn't work.
8. Reboot with card out.
9. After restart, insert card, wait a few seconds the green activity light will flash with activity.
10. You are ready to go with some really slow internet access. old computer.
11. The net work icon in the top panel will not indicate any type of activity or signal strength.

for some reason the machine will not boot with the card in, no problem just leave it out, boot then put it in and start browsing.

Hope this helps, I don't know how to code and can't understand it, learning disability, so I have to find other ways to get these things to work with Linux.

No hardware problems on either of these two machines (except the nvidia drivers are a little erratic - still not happy with overall graphics performance. nv is very stable for me (when glx isn't required)). Ethernet on both fine. Wireless on box 1 worked straight off, but drops connection once in a while - haven't worked out why yet...

installed fine, ethernet, graphics, video (iSight), all out-of-the-box...but;
no sound
no wireless
no trackpad extras (multi-finger/tapping)
no brighness control
suspend to RAM works fine, but screen is almost black on restore (and no brightness settings!) so the X server needs to be restarted, which kinda defeats the point of suspend...
what works runs well and useable as a dual-boot (useful enough for me to persist!), but until the many driver issues are sorted, definitely not a hardware I would recommend as a primary Ubuntu machine.

Caveats:
Switching from spare battery in hotbay to DVD drive works ok. The OS picks up the switch and works fine. Switching from DVD drive to battery locks up the laptop - everytime without fail.

Install went very easy but had a few small problems. Needed restricted ATI driver to get fglx working. Installed Ubuntu Studio on top and needed to change input and output devices in Jack from default to hw:0,0 ATI IXP AC97 to get MIDI working.

Got most of the effects in Compiz Fusion working but no cube, so a little dissapointed about that. Tried Envy but no help.

Overall I am very satisfied and glad to be back using Linux again after so many years. Far easier than Linux 1.2 I can tell you that.

Everything seems to work okay -- volume, touchpad (though you need to add the "SHMConfig" line to xorg.conf), though video seems to be dithering, as if it's only showing up in 16-bit instead of 24 (32?) like it used to under 7.10. No compiz, either, since it seems to be using the opensource "nv" drivers.

Notebook Dell Latitude D505 - Ubuntu Version 8.04

1. WLAN -> Intel Pro Wireless 2200BG : Works out-of-the-box. Driver name "ipw2200".

2. Graphics card -> Intel 855-Chipset. Works out-of-the-box. Without the following modification in xorg.conf, the X-server, when using the "intel"-driver, repeatedly crashes after logging out :

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel"
Busid "PCI:0:2:0"
Driver "intel"
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "true"
Option "ForceEnablePipeA" "true"
Option "FramebufferCompression" "on"
Option "Tiling" "on"
EndSection

The "i810"-driver needs the package "i915-resolution" to support the native resolution "1400x1050" of my notebook.

3. Soundcard -> See above chipset. Works out-of-the-box.

4. Bluetooth -> Dell Truemobile 300. Works out-of-the-box. One important tip : Turn on the bluetooth-radio under Windows (Blue light must be on!). Otherwise the dongle does not work correctly under Hardy (The radio is turned off and no connection is possible).

5. Suspend and Hibernate : Suspend works out-of-the box. No changes are needed. Hibernate fails for me, but because i don't use it, i never tried to fix it.

6. Misc :

- Downgrade BIOS-Version to A09. All above versions (A10 and A11) will corrupt the display under X11.

- Append "hpet=force" to kernel-line in /boot/grub/menu.lst to enable HPET (High Precision Event Timers). This will increase battery life and decrease heat output significantly.

Hi, I have submitted this as an "Ask Slashdot" question. Not sure if it will be published. I use Ubuntu, so I thought this may be also good to ask here.

All the hardware I am using works with Linux. None of it comes with "Linux compatible" stamp on it. The information on compatibility has to be looked up on message boards or specialized web sites.
Why the vendors are afraid of confirming the compatibility?

I have heard that vendors do not want to confirm that their hardware works with Linux because they do not see it economical to offer Linux support line. Linux users market is still too small and the OS is too fractured. Well, if the hardware does work with Linux, why not state it and just let users know, that they may not count with customer support yet? This would be a great help for Linux users already.

I can imagine the main problem here is to legally exclude support while stating compatibility. Wouldn't it be a high time for Linux community to set up a framework legalese to lower the barriers for the vendors?

I am sure this is related to this thread but may still be off-topic. I have not found a suitable forum yet. Should it be deleted, could you please advise per personal message where to post it?

I don't know if this is the real model name of it. What I do know is that it's the part that goes into the usb port and about 2/3 cm sticking out. No special configuration needed.

Just got a Logitech MX 5000 Laser package for my birthday. . . wireless keyboard and mouse. So far everything works great!!

Plugged in the bluetooth dongle, installed batteries in the keyboard, charged up the mouse and it all works. Press the e-mail button, and Evolution pops up. The media sliders on the side all work. I'm sure I will soon figure out how to program all of the other keys on the keyboard.

So far, I'm very happy with this package.

Oh yeah,

Hey Buddy... can you (*or anyone else) comment at all on the ability to use the bluetooth dongle for other devices? I'm thinking of getting this so I can also connect my blackberry over bluetooth to Ubuntu.

Thanks a lot.

Ubuntu 8.04/i386 (not brave enough yet for the 64-bit)
All updates current

First attempt didn't get past pressing Enter to start the install process: just hung there with a black screen and a cursor blinking in the upper left corner. I tried falling back on upgrading my current Windows XP workstation to Ubuntu and using the new machine as my Windows system, but that would have boxed me into the corner of having to use the Vista that came installed on the machine instead of XP, and besides, things weren't working well in Windows, either.

So after a couple of days going back and forth with HP support, I decided the machine must be a lemon. Took it back to the store, swapped it for another of the same model and started over. Smoothest installation of any operating system I've ever installed. Graphics came right up into the monitor's native 1920x1200, sound worked perfectly, wireless worked without any hand-holding whatsover (other than plugging in the WEP key), DVD burner worked flawlessly. Wireless has a little hum if the sound is turned up, but I don't plan to use the wireless on this system anyway. One moment of panic came when I looked at the output from `cat /proc/cpuinfo` which gave bogomips of only 2000 per CPU (running at 1GHz) but with a little research I found that this is just the energy saving feature preventing the system from using more juice than is necessary when you're not asking it to do any real work.

In short, looks like a success story after the first couple of days. (I do wish I had the 4GB of memory they accidentally installed in the first machine, but maybe that was part of the problem.)

Ubuntu Hardy Heron 8.04 (amd64)

Lenovo Thinkpad T61P type 6457-BQG

Intel Core 2 Duo (Penryn) 2.6ghz - WORKING both CPU cores / Power Management.
4gb RAM - WORKING with amd64 install.
200gb Full Disk Encryption HDD - WORKING

Windows Vista 32bit Ulitmate pre-install - WORKING /PART - Re-sizing vista works from within Vista BUT still takes up 100gb disk space + ThinkVantage Utility Partition. - Wiping Vista and Thinkvantage off altogether works the best! :twisted:Vista will only use 3gb ram.

NVidia Quadro FX 570m - WORKING / Propriatory Drivers Optimal - Doing an install with VESA driver selected will work, the packaged nv driver will not start. After getting the machine running with VESA driver running the ENVY application will install the Nvidia drivers and will work. The VESA driver will not support compiz-fusion but the Nvida propriatory driver works great.:popcorn:

Screen 15.4" WUXGA - WORKING, screen is excellent and works fine, though changing the brightness in the bios is recommended as it is dull.

Intel 4965agn WORKING / Part -Works fine from DVD install, software update seems to fix regular disconnection issue but disables LED indicator.

Modem - UNKNOWN / Probably broken.

Ethernet - WORKING out of the box (tested at 100mbps)

Soundcard - WORKING out of the box

Fingerprint reader - WORKING / Part (supposed) search for THINKFINGER, seems to only use one fingerprint rather than multi-finger enroll in vista. Also crashed my machine badly.

Touchpad etc, WORKING fine, both red "nipple" and Touchpad, right side of touchpad scrolls vertically, buttons fine.

DVD - WORKING - seems to prefer +RW's not -RW's

Buttons - Volume WORKING fine. Thinkvantage - Broken Function Keys [LOCK] works [Battery] Display battery info, [SLEEP] works - see below, [RADIO] operates bluetooth, upsets sound, [SCREEN] external monitor not working from O/S only on hard boot from bios [brightness and Keyboard light] Working [others] working.

Suspend / Hibernate - Was working out of the BOX but I broke it, therefore it depends on the software installed.

PCMCIA / CARDBUS - UNKOWN wouldn't recognise my PCMCIA modem, but probably not the busses fault.

USB - WORKING / Firewire - Unknown

Battery life - Not Great, if you need longer life buy 2 :biggrin:

seriously use powertop to sort out your apps and you can enable powersaving of the wireless card, subscribe to linux-thinkpad for more info.

Accessories

Virgin Media (uk) - If you subscribe you might not be able to complete the registration that you get as soon as you fire up the web browser. If this happens call them and tell THEM to complete the registration online because there servers are crap and don't want to support linux. They will say that Linux is not supported and that it won't work or some b/s, tell them your not paying for the phonecall and ask for the manager, when you find someone who knows what their doing it will be sorted.

Samsung CLP-300n - WORKING / Part out of the box. USB operation is flawless. When using with X-sane text may appear too dark / large. Network functionality seems a misnomer.

Cannon Lide 25 - WORKING out of the box with Xsane.

56K ITU V.92 ready Fax/Modem (RJ-11 port)
AC '97 2.3 Compliant audio

I initially started Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) on this machine as a live CD and did install directly from the live CD but I had problems with
- the audio (no sound)
- the wireless
- the display (the desktop didn't fit on the display and there were about 10-15% of real estate missing to the right and bottom.

I got wireless working when using a PCI card but I couldn't get the integrated wireless to work.

After a while banging my head I re-installed Ubuntu, this time without going though the live CD but using the second option on the DVD to install Ubuntu - et voila, the graphics what recognized.

The audio worked after pushing a couple of buttons in the Alsa mixer.
The external wireless (Linksys 802.11g PCI) worked right away after installing the driver.
The internal wireless worked after using the patch and instructions from
http://willdaniels.co.uk/articles/howto-guides/10-howto/12-r8180-hardy
The graphics worked but only at a resolution of 800x600. By using the vesa driver and selecting a resolution of 1280x768 though, this problem was resolved as well.

HOW can they label this thread as a "hardware compatibility LISTING", when the only way that you could possibly find if a particular piece of hardware is compatible with Ubuntu, is to read EVERY word in over 250 different posts ?

And even then, I am not sure that you would have a definitive answer !!!

If someone wants to make an actual LISTING, only then should they label that thread as a listing.

Thanks.

Samsung SH-S203N DVD burner
Avermedia A180 tuner card
Microsoft Media Center Keyboard

Overall, worked great out of the box with standard install (nice work folks!) I even got a friend to build a system based on this mobo and he got it up and running without ever having touched a linux box. XVideo, Gigabit LAN, sound over SPDIF and analog, media card reader; you name it and it works. There has been some grumbling about sound over hdmi, but I've never tried it.

The tuner card and keyboard require a little work to get running, which must be repeated when a new kernel is released, but it's otherwise been a relatively easy box to keep running. (Is there any plan to pull lirc_mod_mce into the standard distro? You already support the remote)

The video is pretty good. I have XVideo running and I've watched HD programming with no problem. Well, one problem: there is some tearing. I tried the newest ATI drivers and the tearing is gone in GL, but still not in XV. They caused all kinds of other headaches, however (looks like some sort of buffer issue - the screen sometimes doesn't redraw correctly when you move stuff) so I'm back to whatever's supported (partimage rocks!).

I currently give the box an "A" that will be changed to an "A+" when ATI gets their drivers worked out.

Haven't tested the LAN port since I'm using a wireless card, but it was recognised correctly.
Only minor thing so far is that after installing the (restricted) nvidia drivers, it no longer recognised my monitor (Iiyama S900MT1 CRT) so defaults to 1280x1024 rather than 1600x1200.
(edit an hour later) - Installing the "NVIDIA X Server Settings" package from the "System Tools" section of "Add/Remove" allowed me to select the correct resolution.

I am using the Newest Ubuntu Available at the moment.

I am running an old Gateway GP6-350, and the CD-ROM will not load the CD's that are Put into drive. This Problem started just after Ubuntu v.7.10 Install.

Now the CD-ROM will not load any cd's. I tried to reinstall Ubuntu, but the Ubuntu v.8.04 won't allow the disk to be read.

Please Help.

NOTES:
This is my first Linux box, built out of old components. It seem to be working fine (SAMBA file serving, Apache, MySQL serving, MyPHPAdmin), but being a noob, I can’t say if I’ve overlooked a test or something is not working right.

All parts have been stored in a basement for several years – no changes to them have been made (i.e., still the same CMOS battery). They are all circa 1999-2000. I have updated Ubuntu, but no individual drivers.

Ubuntu 7.10 - the Gutsy Gibbon
PRINTER
Hewlett Packard
(HP) DJD 4260

Printer only (no fax, scan, or copy)
Prints Color and Black/White
Connection: USB
Ink cartridges: 2 (single black, single color combo) cost approx $30.00
Install: Put in ink cartridges and paper,
Plug in power cord.
Turn printer on. Let printer configure itself.
Connect USB cord.

Setup: Open the Printer Configuration Window: System -> Administration -> Printing
Select: New Printer
Enter devise URI as: HP DJD 4260 (press Forward)
Select Printer from Database: HP (forward)

At the New Printer configuration window
Select
MODEL: Deskjet D4200
Drivers: HP Deskjet D4200 Foomatic/hpijs (recommended)
(Forward)
Printer Name: (should fill in automatically)
Description: HP DJD 4260
Printer Location: Anywhere
Note: Location must have an entry. It cannot be left blank.
Click Apply.

Once the system has finished configuring use the Policies, Access Control, Printer and Job Options tabs in the Printer Configuration Window to set personal preferences for printer policy, user sharing, paper type, print quality, and job control. Other than selecting printer sharing, paper type, print quality I used the default settings in this area.

To test the installation click on the Settings tab:
Select: Print Test Page. Print Self-Test Page and/or Clean Print Heads.

This little printer works GREAT! Couldn't beat the $39.00 sale cost either. I think the regular price was around 59 to 69 dollars.

Note: Couldn't get my $400.00 All-in-One Lexmark to work. Couldn't get my near $200.00 All-in-One Brother to work. Couldn't get my $50.00 Dell to work. But this little $39.00 HP DJD 4260 works like a charm, has a good print, and installed without a hitch.

Except for the IDE devices the Asus M3N78-EH does work. It doesn't work with the 2.6.24-16 kernel that was shipped with 8.10. However, it does at least work with 2.6.24-20; I'm not sure about previous versions though.

Mine was set the the default parallel port address (0x378 ), and although the scanner was recognized, SANE couldn't use it. Changing that to "*" fixed the problem.

Edit #2 - just ran some updates which included the kernel. Maybe that date is when the kernel was compiled?

Hi guys,
I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04. I have got issues regarding hibernating/Suspend modes...i.e Resuming after a selection made to any of the two modes is resulting in certain messages.

I tried suspending...and this is the message i am getting
[103.736770] EXT3_fs error (device sdb1): ext3_find_entry: reading directory # 3088386 offset 0

Could someone help me out with this..:)

Ubuntu 8.04 on Jetway 7F2WE1G Mini-ITX board. Worked OOB. Removed CPU fan, case fan is sufficient to keep CPU a few degrees above ambient (idle). This is my seventh Linux system so far, and caused the least issues or problems :mrgreen: That said, this box is very basic, just 80 gig SATA disk, no video effects. Just browsing and downloading. And webserver. This box replaced an aging Via Epia (800 MHz C3) which was getting too slow. The Epia ran 7.04 with also few issues.

Dual boot for now due to a CAD program I use in college that requires M$.
I also have a Xerox Phaser 6180 that Ubuntu recognized right off the bat with no problem.

This machine and Hardy seem to be a great match. I have tried various flavors of Linux in the past and always grew tired of configuring hardware. It is because of this match that I have become a Ubuntu follower. I was amazed how easy it was to get a wireless connection with Linux or that it was even possible considering my past experience.
I would definitely recommend this laptop and Ubuntu.
On a side note I spent days and days trying to get mac mini loaded with Linux with no joy. It has 10.3 loaded and the firmware that just will not coroperate. After the ease of the install on this HP I was a little spoiled and have since sworn off Apple because they now seem just like M$ and just want your money. Plus Ubuntu is now making life for the beginning programmer and want to be Linux user a whole lot easier.

Could not enable hardware 3D graphics, would cause frequent freezes and lockups, found the solution to problem at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24/+bug/164589. Solution prevents the graphics card from going into power saving mode so battery life is not very good.

Although the wifi button works, the wifi LED doesn't turn on.

VGA-out has some problems. The screen on external monitor blanks out (turns black) when i move the mouse. When I stop moving the mouse, the screen comes back.

OS#: Ubuntu 8.04.1 Hardy Heron kernel version: 2.6.24-21-generic

Memory: 2GB DDR2 Kingston Ram

Graphics:Integrated Intel seemed to work fine the little bit I tested it. I also have an XFX Nvidia 8600 GT. It works beautifully in here.

CPU: Intel Core2Duo E6420 @ 2.21 ghz (I believe it is overclocked a tiny bit, stock is 2.13 I think)

Motherboard: ASUS P5B-VM SE

Sound:Integrated works fine, but to achieve 5.1 digital (I actually think I can only get 5.0 digital (no center)), it requires a bit of tweaking, but basically works fine, Turtle beach Riveira.

No problems, runs perfectly other than what's noted. I did notice one weird thing, however, after resuming from standby in Hardy(by turning on my computer), my CD Drive will eject immediately and then go back in real quick. I have no idea what this is caused by, maybe a BIOS setting or BIOS confliction? I don't know, but it scared the **** out of me the first time it happened, because I have one of those case doors, so it flung it open.

I also used 2 adapters to convert 2 old hard drive from IDE to the SATA motherboard, works fine with every OS, so it most certainly wouldn't be prob with Ubuntu.

Worked out of the box for me. Sound, networking etc.

I spent a good amount of time searching for other people who might have tried this particular motherboard (or rather, the chipset) in Ubuntu, but I was unsuccessful.

Everything works pretty much out of the box. Internal speaker doesn't work. Front audio jack works fine. I haven't tested the rear. Everything else seems to work so far. Have not tested the DVI/HDMI ports yet. Going to add a Radeon 3450 video card for future Crossfire (I also want s-video out for my tv).

Okay new simple desktop.

Asus M2N-MX-SE Motherboard
2Gb Kingston DDR2 (running in single channel mode)
Asus EAH3450 (ATI HD3450)
Running Hardy 8.0.4.1

Issues with the ATI propriety driver, if I install it and run with it, my desktop just freezes and thats it. I can reset back to not using the driver and it works fine, albiet slow.

Odd too because I've read reports on this topic stating it works fine, heh :) Run memcheck too and it comes up good!

All the basics worked after installation apart from ethernet and wireless. I had to download and install the latest Madwifi drivers and then enable them via System>Administration>Hardware Drivers to get the wireless working and it's working fine now. Ethernet is not working but I haven't tried to get it working yet.

I haven't tried connecting a display via the VGA port or using the microphone jack yet.
update: Audio jack works fine with headphones.

Canon iP2000 inkjet printer
Canon CanoScan LiDE20 flatbed scanner
Both of these just worked in both 7.10 and 8.04
No setup was necessary, I just connected them to the PC, and printing via all applications I tried and scanning via xscan worked fine.

Creative ZEN 8Gb
Didn't work automatically in 7.10, I found instructions here (http://tiagoboldt.net/blog/creative-zen-linux/) that worked.
Worked automatically in 8.04 just by plugging it in and opening Banshee to import songs.

Converted an Win98 system two days ago with 8.04 LTS Live CD. I knew the system well, I built it from parts back in 1990.

Intel SE440BX-2 Motherboard with Math Co-Processor installed next to Intel PIII 450Mhz CPU. 384 Ram (maxxed out)
Yamaha DS-XG built on the motherboard provides great sound.
ATI Rage Pro graphics card (release 6112) the stable one.
Seagate 6 Gig Hard Drive (that was as big as I could get back then... Yes it's slow.)
Memorex 48x CDR (burns DV-CDs)
and a
HP CD-writer Plus 9100 (burns CDs that even MS-DOS understands)
I have a brand new Linksys Ethernet card (there wasn't one originally)
And I have a old Creative ModemBlaster 56 II ISA voice/fax/modem.

It actually runs faster NOW than when I put it together.
Oh and as an added bonus I can actually get it to sync with MyPDA (an old Palm IIIe)

I never could get the call attendant software or the caller id to work on the modem (Now the caller ID works, but the fax will ONLY send not Receive.

I'm happy enough I might break down and buy a different modem (probably used because I need the older chipsets so they talk nice to my two MinoltaFax 's (the 2600 one is connected to a Netgear print server.)

Oh and I installed "wine" so I don't have to give up cold turkey on that huge library of Win98 software. http://ubuntuforums.org/images/smilies/new_popcornsmiley.gif

Ubuntu 8.10

Board: Gigabyte GA-MA78GPM-DS2H (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?ProductID=2859)
CPU: AMD 4850e (http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=426) (Chipset AMD780G)

Graphics: on-board ATI Radeon HD3200 (RS780)
I shared this problem (click!) (http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6030745&postcount=10) first, even with 8.10 final (not 8.10rc), and fiddled a lot with drivers. Good thing is, if things go wrong, revert to standard xorg.conf or restore backup, you'll always have highres framebuffer graphics and never drop to textmode or lowres available (like in early Linux days)
Must read Wiki-pages: RadeonDriver (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver), RadeonHD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD), RadeonHD (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI) (fglrx)
For ATI-newbies (like myself): yes, there are three ATI-drivers. Two Open-Source, one from ATI itself (fglrx). Good start to aquire knowledge about differences: Radeon vs. RadeonHD Drivers In H1'08 (http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=radeon_vs_radeonhd&num=1). And there are some tons of forum discussions and articles around, everywhere.
At some point, the Ubuntu-On-board fglrx drivers worked out: enable restricted drivers, activate - you win.

drawback: even with the latest 8.10-bundled catalyst 8.54-drivers, Hardware-Accelleration seems to be limited or instable. I tried EVE-Online for curiosity, and it does not work (uses some customized cedega).

Current status for me: 2D and softrendering fine, 3D .. well .. I gotta try some Linux shooters.

Sound: on-board (southbridge SB700)
Works out of the box. 5.1 surround, mic. Don't have working SP/DIF-out yet, though. My AC3-Decoder gets some Dolby Stereo signal, but is quiet :-(

DVB-T/USB2: MSI Digi Vox mini II (chipset em28xx)
Running and shows up as restricted driver, just like the ATI fglrx drivers. Takes some manual work, though. You wanna read: MSI DigiVox mini II V3.0 (http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/MSI_DigiVox_mini_II_V3.0), em28xx driver compilation in Intrepid (Beta) (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=956353&highlight=dvb-t+usb), DVB-T USB-Devices (http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/DVB-T_USB_Devices) and probably use the ubuntu installation package from here (http://www.digittrade.de/shop/shop_content.php/coID/9) (I suceeded using the guides at the given URLs).
Switching channels regularly results in graphics going mad. Restarting the TV app is a workaround. Probably due to beta-fglrx-drivers (see previous paragraph on on-board-graphics).

Notice that I did it in the same way I would do it in Windows - while the system was running.

Need a wireless card for your desktop computer or HTPC?

Try the D-Link DWA-556. It's a PCI Express desktop adapter. Works in x1, x4, x8, or x16 slots. Supports Wireless N (draft) and of course Wireless G.

http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=549

This card worked beautifully for me out of box. No configuration was required. None. Even the Live CD was able to make use of it. It connects to wireless networks in seconds. Probably the most flawless piece of expansion hardware in my setup. I'm thrilled with it.

It is also FAST, even with my wireless G router. Web pages load seemingly faster than on my other computers which are hooked up via Ethernet and run Windows.

I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu - Intrepid Ibex.

Yea, I had thought so. I have heard a lot of people had trouble installing those in intrepid (but I'm not sure if those people were upgrading from Hardy). It worked for you no problem? I am assuming you installed the Driver from the repos/Restricted Drivers screen.

"[ubuntu-in] Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10 works very well on Acer Aspire 4730z laptop"

Hello,

Just another post (so that others might find it by search) about an
Ubuntu smooth run.
Will be useful I guess for anyone looking to purchase an
Ubuntu-friendly laptop...

Installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex (amd64 desktop edition but 32bit
should be fine too) Linux on
a coworker's new Acer Aspire 4730z laptop.

Installation went fine and *everything* (LAN, video, sound, wifi,
special buttons, trackpad, compiz
effects etc) worked out of the box upon first reboot with absolutely
no additional configuration/tinkering :-)

Just wasn't able to try the card reader and the webcam was showing
all-green picture in ekiga... I ran an update but wasnt
able to reboot to check whether webcam might work better since we
(coworker and I) were leaving for the day.

Very impressed with this Intel-Montevina-based laptop... onboard Intel
graphics (compiz effects work) and Atheros based wifi.

- Vishal

PS: Also saw on a tech forum post that Hardy 8.04 worked fine on this
same laptop model.

The video card - the OpenGL version of the G71 core as used on 7900GTX - is not recognised, shown as an 'unknown device 029a', but runs at native resolution and full color depth. Adding the NVIDIA-supplied binary driver enables full OpenGL support which works well.

1)Version Of Ubuntu : 8.04 Hardy Heron and 7.04 Feisty Fawn, Gnome

2)Type Of Hardware : Laptop

3)Hardware Maker : Benq

4)Hardware Model : Joybook 7000

With Feisty every thing worked very well (thanks a lot)

With Hardy verything works ok but the temperature. The computer gets very hot because the fans don't start soon enough and i cant find a fan controller. I have an ATI MOBILITY RADEON 9700 with opensource x.org drivers and i can use the sensors and cpu scalling monitor applets to see the temperature. I have look in internet and in previous kernels it was possible to make a script to control fan speed through acpi but new kernels doesnt allow to write. I read that the ati propietary driver can control the fan but i much prefer to suport free software. I hope that in next realeases you can give us a solution. also, i detected that scrolling firefox 3.0.4 makes the computer very very hot but using other programs as kino (video) not (thanks again for theses os)

- Intel Wireless Card (a/b/g/n)

I got Ubuntu 8.10 to work completely:
- Install from live CD
- Uninstall compiz and compiz core (caused problems installing raedon driver for me)
sudo apt-get autoremove compiz
- Get updates
sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install upgrade
- Reboot (maybe not necessary, but I always do after updates)
- Get/Install envyNG (use to install raedon driver)
sudo apt-get install envyng-core
- Install Raedon driver with envy
envyng -t
- Reboot (again, maybe not necessary)
- Re-install compiz if desired
sudo apt-get install compiz
- Reboot one last time just to make sure everything is set up properly

Now you should be running Ubuntu 8.10 :)

Kensington Slimblade mouse

All standard and special functions work out of the box, without any drivers or configuration.

The middle button is correctly emulated by chording the left and right buttons together (there is no physical middle button on this mouse), vertical and horizontal scrolling via the trackball both work.

The media buttons on the back of the mouse correspond to the XF86 keyboard shortcut keys for volume up, volume down, play/pause, previous track, and next track, and accordingly they integrate neatly into most media player programs. The volume buttons control the system volume from any program.

Hello, this is not strictly a compatibility issue nor is it only restricted to laptops. I encountered the problem on a laptop which is why I am posting it here.

The "difficulty" was encountered after a Ubuntu 8.04 install and was intermittant. I tried previous Ubuntus (I have them back to 5.04 but did not go that far) with the same maddening failure. The machine would hang usually working with OOo. Much head scratching led me to suspect a hardware failure so I ran a memory test (Memtest86+ v 1.70) but all was OK and since I have a Hitachi drive I ran Hitachi's drive fitness test (DFT). Of course the laptop manufacturer's diagnostics revealed nothing and the machine was out of warranty.

Still the problem persisted so I went looking for other tests. Among my search I discovered that there is an upgrade to Memtest86+; the current version is 2.11 and is more thorough than version 1.70 included in Ubuntu. I tried it and BINGO! after running it for ~5 1/2 hours I got memory errors. Replacing the SODIMM cured my problem.

I hope that this might be useful to someone and is also a plea to the folks at Canonical to replace Memtest86+ v 1.70 with the newer v 2.11 in future distributions.

K/Ubuntu - 8.10
Asus F3Ka
GFX Card - Radeon HD2600 Mobility (512 Meg)

Issue: The live CD will not boot.

Solution: Download the alternate CD and one you have everything installed let the system try to boot then press ctrl+alt+f1 to get to a terminal login once you are logged in and at a console screen run the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade (I am not sure if it is needed but at this point I would always reboot the laptop and relog in) Once you are logged in again run the following lines:
sudo apt-get install build-essential xorg-driver-fglrx
sudo aticonfig --initial -f After that finishes reboot boot once more and you should now have a login window :)

________

Ubuntu - 8.10
Asus G1Sn
GFX Card - nVidia 9500M GS (256 Meg)

Works like a charm so long as you have 2 gigs of ram or less.

Comments:
All hardware works flawlessly without having to hunt down drivers. The Audio sounds fantastic, and this setup is fast.

BIOS SATA configuration is set by default to IDE compatability which needs to be set to AHCI in order to take advantage of the high speed SATA 3 Gb/s interface. This board comes with a fall back BIOS chip (redundant) and needed to set the BIOS to Keep Last Setting.

Both cores of the CPU where recognized as well as all 8 Gig of RAM. I'm running a guest OS Windows XP as a virtual machine (Virtualbox 64 bit) and is the reason I decided on 8 Gig. I have a need for my Sony Visual Studio software that seems to run better as a virtual machine than natively in Windows.

There was one issue I noticed with the Radeon card; the video flickered during playback in VLC with Compiz enabled. This was fixed by setting VLC to use X11 as its output mode.

I think it works better than Windows. Faster if i don't run Compiz-Fusion.

Ubuntu version: Tested on Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10

Hardware: Brother DCP-7030 all-in-one B&W printer and scanner

Works well, with the following installation procedure and restrictions:

1. Installation:
Simply follow the instructions given at the Brother website:
- http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html
- Be sure to follow all instructions, including the "Pre-required procedures" (for 8.04 & 8.10: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/before.html#002)
- Installed printer first (Cups, Cupswrapper Driver Install), then scanner, and finally Scan-key
- You may get 2 DCP-7030 printers by the end of the installation. Just delete the one with the wrong URI (Should be: "usb://Brother/DCP-7030")

2. Restrictions:
- As in many cases, Linux drivers are not as optimized as Windows ones. Slower and less functions (eg Poster function unavailable under Linux).
- Attention: I have encountered problems with printing of files over 100-200KB when Scan-key is activated. How to stop Scan-key: terminal command "brscan-skey -t" (See: http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_u … html#Inst2). And if you decide to un-install Scan-key, make sure you stop it before, or you may still have the printing problems after un-install. Once Scan-key is stopped, everything works perfect again.

Everything worked perfectly except for those problems :
Laptop speaker stops working a few minutes after the computer is turned on (under all versions of ubuntu; did not have this problem with Fedora or OpenSUSE) but the earphone jack works fine

Never could get any kind of sound recording, either Mic or Line-in
Installing the ATI driver under Intrepid amd64 was a little tricky : Bottom line you must, at FIRST boot, update you system and then install ATI's driver BEFORE any reboot

Other hardware that works fine :

Printer : Samsumg ML-1210 Laser printer : Works without any effort, shared with a few *nix clients and Windows clients without problem

Printer : Brother HL-2040 Laser (Driver : foomatic for HL-2060) Shared perfectly among *nix clients, for windows XP/Vista, use the HL-2060 and in the settings, turn off "advanced printing features" if printing seams to "hang"

Printer :
Epson CX4450 : Well... The printer works but I never could get the scanner to work under Hardy. I never tried it with intrepid because I threw the thing away; it's the worst printer I've ever seen.

External hard drive :
WD MyBook Premium 500 GB, using the USB interface (just never tried the firewire). Works perfect. 20MB/s writing, 25 MB/s reading, quite the same as under windows. (Half NTFS, Half Ext3)

WD MyBook Home edition : 1TB using the USB interface, never tried firewire or eSATA. Works perfect. 20-25MB/s writing, 25-30 MB/s reading, quite the same as under windows. (XFS)

For both external hard drives, you won't get the capacity gauge working because you need a program that doesn't exist for Linux (feel free to try WINE if you can't live without another led flashing around your desktop...). Personally, I don't even install these on Windows boxes.

Have fun !

Ubuntu 8.10
Laptop
Dell C400
PIII 1.2Ghz
768MB Ram
20GB HD
Intel 2200 wifi card added (non-standard equipment, taken from a D5xx Dell laptop)

I had to disable COMPIZ otherwise it wouldn't boot after installation.

New Quick Fix
Hit Esc at Grub boot menu
Boot recovery mode
Goto command prompt and run "Xorg -configure" (case sensitive capital "X")
/root/xorg.config.new will be generated
Take ONLY the settings for the "device" section(s) from xorg.config.new and overwrite the "device" section in /etc/X11/xorg.config
reboot

Old Fix (takes a long time)
To boot to console and have a wired network connection working I had to do the following:
Hit Esc at Grub boot menu
Hit e to edit default boot option
Highlight "kernel blah blah..." and hit e to edit
Remove splash and type vga=773 then press enter
Press b to boot
At login prompt hit ctrl-alt-F1 to get console login
To fix COMPIZ issue at the console I ran following commands:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

This took a long time to download and install, I went out to dinner and it had rebooted and was working properly by the time I got back.

Results
There are still some minor video issues but it works. As per Ubuntu 8.10 release notes there are bugs in the intel video driver for these old chipsets. Via the GUI menus System -> Preferences -> Appearances -> Visual Effects Tab -> "None" is the setting you want to disable the COMPIZ effects.

I just needed GParted to examine/wipe a hd I want to throw away, so on a whim I put in the CD; I'm surprised at how well the OS runs. I don't plan on installing Ubuntu on that machine, but it looks like I could if I wanted to.

The recommended resolution on the monitor is 1920x1080, but if I try to set it as such using the ATI drivers I downloaded it doesn't fill the whole monitor, and leaves black space around the edges. I have to use 1680x1050 for it to fill the whole screen. It's a long term problem I'd like to fix.

This system acts as a satellite receiver and media centre.

The system is based on an HP D530 small form factor PC with a microATX mainboard. The board is socket 478, supports 2 SATA devices, one low profile AGPx8 graphics card and has a PCI riser that supports two full height PCI cards. The system uses an 185W PSU, which is pretty amazing considering that the TDP for the CPU is 89 watts.

OS: Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 32 bit/Myth TV
CPU: P4 Prescott 2.8Ghz
HD: Samsung SpinPoint F1 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache – OEM
RAM: 1 Gb, 2x PC2700 sticks
Graphics: PNY GeForce 6200 256MB Low Profile AGP Graphics Card (passively cooled)
DVD: Pioneer DVR-215DBK 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black) – OEM
Receiver card: Hauppauge WinTV Nova S Plus
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 2233BW 22”
Networking: Netgear WG311 54Mbps Wireless Desktop PCI Network Adapter
Keyboard/mouse: Keysonic Wireless Keyboard/Touchpad ACK-540RF

I'm still trying to get the remote to work properly (surprise surprise) and need to replace the RAM to better complement the CPU.

Hi have you tried your new monitor with a dvi or hdmi cable? I am about to get this monitor and was wondering what your experience has been. Thanks a lot.

If you are refering to the Samsung 2233BW, it only has D-Sub and DVI, it has no dedicated hdmi connector. However I do use the DBI and its fine, native resolution is correctly detected, desktop is fine, movies look fine too, though not as good as they would appear on a dedicated TV. It's far to bright out of the box though.

Thanks Kevoc for the reply. That helps a lot. I am also considering the Asus VH226H. Here's the link. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236051 Do you think this would be much better?

Presuming that you have a graphics card that will support the 1080p resolution then it looks like a good buy. It certainly gets good ratings on Newegg, and it also has a hdmi connector. I was tempted to go for a 1080p monitor myself but wasn't sure if my graphics card would support it. I did know that my GF 6200 would do 1680*1050 so I went for a monitor that would do that. Nice sized desktop, but I do get a slightly compromised TV experience, though it's not too annoying.

Note that this has two different things in it, hope you dont mind.

This is my laptop.
Ubuntu 8.10
Notebook
Lenovo
3000 N100 | Screen 1680x1050 | AuthenTec AES2501 fingerprint reader | Broadcom bcm43xx wireless N card | dvd/dvdrw drive | Synaptic Touchpad | Ricoh ms/mspro/sd/mmc/xd card reader | digital audio | intel core 2 duo 2.2ghz | nvidia geforce go 7300 | bluetooth | 120gb sata drive | webcam | microphone

Things that work without drivers: DVD drive, Touchpad, SD card reader, Audio, bluetooth*
Things that work with drivers installable by the restricted drivers tool, add/remove or synaptic: Wireless card (no need to backup bcmwl5.sys) Nvidia card, Fingerprint reader, microphone**
Things that work with other drivers: Webcam (Get the microdia driver, it works great!)
Things not working: MS/MSPRO/xD card reader.
*Note: the built in bluetooth radio was recognized out of the box, but I had to install gnome-obex-server to receive files.
**Note: I had to install the Gnome ALSA mixer settings to get it working.

This is just for a keyboard/mouse combo.
Version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 8.04/8.10
Type: Wireless Keyboard/Mouse Combo
Manufacturer: Microsoft 0.o
Model: Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000/Wireless Laser Keyboard 6000 v2.0

Features that work (will update frequently as I test these out):

Mouse:
mouse has 5 mouse buttons (doesnt work so far)

Keyboard:
25 hotkeys, including but not limited to: Browser fwd/back, home, documents, mail, zoom in/out, media controls, bookmark keys (Good luck configuring all of them)

I noticed the keyboard and mouse worked even before windows loads, so I thought it should work on Linux plug and play, which it does.

I previously tried 8.04 on my HP Pavilion TX1000 laptop. It came with Vista Home Premium. When I tried to downgrade to XP Pro I found that the "NVIDIA GeForce Go 6150" was somehow not one because the NVIDIA drivers didn't recognize it. In conjunction with the integration for AMD Turion, it was altered!

Ubuntu 8.04 did not recognize it.

It also would not work with the Broadcom wireless adapter b,g, (pre)N (a 4302 chipset I think)

Without video or wireless, I abandoned Ubuntu, going on to similar failure with Knoppix, and Mandriva -- nothing seems to support this thing.

I wanted to check here to see if anyone had any luck with 8.10.

A friend told me that the virtualization is really good -- much better than VMware, so I'll probably give 8.10 a try on my main desktop.

Is there a hardware compat. list?

Thanks,

as a warning i been told that the model i have is a upgraded model and the original model that is used as base for these models is not working with linux due to some of the components in them. it was a matter of both sound and video card as i remeber it.
however this configuration as mine has works perfect with ubuntu.

Laptop
Sony
VAIO VGN-TT11M/N

To my surprise I've become an "alpha tester" of the upcoming release. "Jaunty" installed and runs well enough "out-of-the-box" on this Vaio. Only small niggles so far, but I haven't checked all hardware compatibility yet :D

Dual-booting with Vista OK.

Good work Ubuntu team!

Info:
I tried the three previous releases of Ubuntu on this laptop but all were unsuccessful! Each of the earlier releases exhibited some sort of display incompatibility (scrambled content) even when attempting to install in safe mode. Similarly using the "live" CD mode the display was useless. I also tried a text-only install of "Intrepid" but this fell-over at the partitioner stage.

Ubuntu installed a generic driver upon plugging the MP460 into my usb port. I was prompted to search for a better driver and it brought up the list of manufacturers. I selected Canon and the PIXMA MP160. The MP460 was not listed but I have read in posts from last year (2008 ) that the MP160 driver works.
I have not tried to scan anything yet, but the printing is perfect.

uberlinux,
I have the same box and have been living in xorg hell for the last few days. Would you mind terribly disclosing what kind of graphics resolution and monitor you have that's working?

I have a Westinghouse LCM22W2 that I'm trying to configure to 1680x1050. Under Ubuntu 8.10, 1368x768 (16:9) is the closest I can get. I installed OpenSuSE 11.1 so I could access a tool (SaX2) other than VI :D to generate settings. I'm running at 1600x1200 which still isn't right.

If I could get a working xorg.conf, I could flip back to Ubuntu and get on with my life.

Any information you could furnish would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Everything works with Kubuntu 8.10 x86_64, except for a few special keys (brightness). The touchpad does work after pressing Fn and F6 twice (instead of once for Vista). I haven't tried hibernating.

It does take some effort to get sound working; see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810#post6589810 for updating Alsa

Added on 4-4-2009: wireless works out of the box. However, when downloading big files, f.e. from my NAS, it stalls. The remedy is to install the latest version of the wireless drivers, as described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=792092&page=26

Kubuntu 9.04 x86_64 installs as well, only this has to be added in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

I have an everex laptop the gbook VA1500V with gOS on it it mostly has via parts inside of it it has a chrom 9 igp graphics chip and ubuntu 7.10 works but uses the generic driver for it ubuntu 8.04 uses openchrome it is very buggy and doesnt work well, and 8.10 freezes unless i install in safe graphics mode. And also the audio jack doesnt work but the built in speaker works. But so far thats been the only bad computer ive ever put ubuntu on. All the other computers ive put it on have worked out of the box and done fine.

there are only two factory configurations for this model. I got the upgraded version. Everything works out of the box as they say. The one small issue is the "onekey" and "user defined" keys are not recognized at all.

I installed the Sun xVM and then installed Ubuntu 8.04 as a virtual box. Sun xVM setup the networking automatically using the wired controller Realtek card routing to the Windows Broadcom wireless and my home network was available. I can connect to my local computers and to the internet. No fussing or fighting with Broadcom wireless incompatiblity in Linux.

I did the same using my HP Pavilion dv9008nr and my HP Pavilion dv9205nr. However, the Sun xVM on those uses the Broadcom wireless as the nic; these setup without any problems and run fine. Infact, Ubuntu runs faster under the Sun xVM box on my HP Pavilion dv9008nr than with Ubuntu installed directly on the harddrive as the main OS.

I also installed the Sun xVM on my desktop, a homemade unit with an AMD Phenom 9600 on an Asus M3A78 motherboard. I have Ubuntu 8.10 and Sun OpenSolaris under Sun XVM. I had tried Microsoft Virtual Box software, but it did not allow any USB connections through to Ubuntu; Sun xVM does.

A colleague at work gave me the old, defective laptop of her kid-son, saying I could keep it for free if I could get it to work.
It just needed a new harddrive: it still works fine :-)

-oo-

Ubuntu version: Xubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron)
Type of Hardware: Laptop
Hardware maker, model: Compaq "Armada", E500

CPU: Pentium III, 500 MHz
CHIPSET: Intel 440BX/ZX/DX
GPU: Ati Rage Mobility, 8 MB RAM
RAM: 2 x 128 MB SDRAM (PC100)
HDD: WesternDigital Scorpio, E-IDE, 160 Gb (3 partitions: /root, /home, swap)
CDROM: 24x slimline CD-rom
AUDIO: Maestro 2E soundchip (ES1978 )
PCMCIA: Texas Instruments PCI1225
- PCMCIA 1: a 2-port USB 2.0-card (NEC Corp.)
- PCMCIA 2: a wired network card (brand Belkin, model F5D-5010)

All works fine (except for the screen, which turns black after about every minute, unless I use the keyboard/type, and for which I am searching the forums at this moment...).

I now use this laptop only for surfing and some simple word processing.

I had installed XP Pro "Corporate Edition" (...) on it, but that goes abit (too) slow on this old machine. I decided to try Xubuntu, hoping things would go (much) faster, but I am not really that impressed by the speed of Xubuntu (compared to XP Pro).
Still, I may keep Xubuntu on it.

Oh, btw, Ubuntu (7.10), on my desktop PC, rocks!!! OpenSUSE (10.3) on the other hand, in triple-boot with Ubuntu and XP Home, is crap... soon going to be replaced by Kubuntu.

No propitiatory drivers available (none work), open source drivers do not completely support 3-d, bad performance.

Following this article -

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver

Will take you to the command line (i.e. ruin the graphs drivers completely).

Reconfiguring xorg.conf will bring back the GUI but after that the GUI works extremely slow and enhanced effects will not get enabled.

1) Ubuntu 9.04 desktop.

2) Netgear WG511 (ver.1) wireless 802.11g PCMCIA adapter.

IBM Thinkpad T23, with onboard wireless 802.11b adapter.

Ubuntu does not detect the Netgear WG511 (version 1) at installation or bootup. Ubuntu does detect and configure the onboard 802.11b adapter.

Netgear WG511 (version 1) is activated from a terminal with: sudo modprobe prism54 This command (modprobe prism54) can later be added to /etc/rc.local to automatically start the card at boot.

Onboard IBM Thinkpad T23 wireless B adapter seems to interfere with Netgear WG511 card's ability to route. The onboard wireless adapter can be disabled by blacklisting the two modules orinoco_pci and hostap_pci in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf and then rebooting.

This is plug and play in Ubuntu 9.10 i386 Desktop, I plug it in to the usb port icon appears on desktop I double click on icon it takes a few seconds to do its thing then brings up nautilus windows with a 1Tb hard drive working and ready to go.

I have formated this with the gparted cd to fat32 for compatibility, it does come formatted to NTFS out of the box.

I can boot the pc with the drive plugged in with no problems either.IT does go onto standby mode to save power and i have had no problems with it coming out of that mode, it just spins back up no problems.

Have also tested with success in Linux mint 5 i386 Desktop which is based on Ubuntu 8.10 LTS, works just as it does in ubutu 9.04 Except it 8.10 does seem to not want to eject the volume manually it jsut says Error ejecting volume waits a few secons and mounts it again. ON this note i have installed pysdm storage device manager from synaptic and this allows me to unmount.

What does NOT work:
*The buildt-inn Ralink card(2860 i belive), nor have i managed to get it to work
*It sounds like a jet engine(its however a bit more quiet than under 8.x), the hotkey for "downclocking" is not working either

What works:
*Hotkeys except downclock and wlan and LCD light controlls
*All ports work, yet to test the SDcard reader thoo
*Grapics(also got the correct resolution outofthebox)
*everything else

Edit: Installing the restricted ATI drivers WILL kill the system, or put another way: The screen remains black after GRUB.

I have a vista home basic enabled laptop which was corrupted by the virtumonde virus and i couldnt get it to bootup. So i decided to install linux. I took a iso file of ubuntu 8.04 LTS to my friends XP machine and created a bootable Live USB using unetbootin. Install went perfectly, no hickups.This is my first linux install on a real computer and so far, i am amazed at how simple it is. Being from a windows background made me think i would have to deal with cryptic command lines and still not get anything working. But letme tell you, it all freaking works right out of the box. Here's my configuration

Compaq Presario V3702AU Laptop

AMD Turion 64 X2, 1.9GHz
1 x 1GB, DDR2-667 Samsung
160 GB, 4200 rpm HDD Western Digital
Nvidia Geforce 7150M GS graphics card (287 MB shared RAM)
Nvidia MCP67M Chipset (Nforce 630M)
Integrated WLAN 802.11b/g Broadcom
Connexant HD Audio
SD Card Reader
Built In webcam 1.3 Mpixel

Installation took 15 minutes + 1.5 hrs to download/install updates. Then it prompted me to download and install propriotory drivers for wlan and gfx which i did and they work smooth. Then i installed compiz+emerald for 3d desktop.

I got the following hardware up and running out of box.
Audio, SD card reader, Webcam, Bluetooth, Volume up/down/mute buttons, Media player buttons play/pause/next/prev etc, Brightness up/down, hibernate button, inbuilt and external microphones, all led indicator lights.

Yet to check out the following:
External monitor, PCI-express slot, firewire, s- video port, quick launch button, HDSOFT Data/Audio modem

I hope this helps other Compaq V3702X users out there who want to migrate to Linux.

Installed without a problem. (I have had problems with other Distros with this Notebook.)

WLAN works well. Only had to activate proprietary driver (sorry !!) for WLAN using System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and enabling the use of the driver. Small problem - WLAN on/off switch does NOT work and WLAN light is RED whether WLAN is ON or OFF.

I hate touchpads whic default to 'tap for mouse click'. You can turn it off from System -> Preferences -> Mouse -> Touchpad and disabling 'mouse clicks with touchpad'.

I tried running from battery and the Battery Indicator (when made 'always on') showed 100% for well over 1 hour operation. Forum search has not found a solution yet.

Installation was straightforward. Bluetooth works, wireless works. Compiz works, display is bright. Display brightness keys do not work, but sound keys do. Not sure if the lid latch puts the laptop to sleep properly, as I had it fully charged overnight and unplugged it before going to work, but when I came home today the battery was drained. I'll check on that and try to report back ASAP. Anything else you want checked please let me know :P

It works fine with the proprietary Nvidia drivers. With the open source nv driver, the fan is stuck on 100%.

Also, when booting up (before GDM is loaded), the fan is always on 100%. I suppose this is a VESA bug?.

My latest system:

Motherboard: Asus M3N-HT Deluxe HDMI
Processor: AMD Phenom II 940 3.0GHz Black Edition (Deneb)
Video Card: XFX nVidia GeForce 260 896MB Black Edition
RAM: OCZ Reaper 4GB 1066 2.2V
Power Supply: Thermaltake Toughpower 850W, Modular
HD0: Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 500GB
/* This drive is partitioned four times, with WinXP SP3 (32-bit) as the primary, then Ubuntu Jaunty (64-bit), a third one with Windows Vista Ultimate (64-bit), and the 4th is a swap space. */
HD1: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB
//Storage

This hardware configuration gave me a lot of difficulty with 8.10 Intrepid. All kinds of Buffer I/O errors when I was trying to install, and after I finally got it installed, the system speaker would beep constantly at me, and my monitor would go to sleep during boot and shutdown, which was especially annoying when FSCK decided to run, because I couldn't see it to tell what was going on.

9.04 Jaunty seems to have fixed all these glitches. I did a fresh install over my Intrepid installation, had video the whole time and and zero Buffer I/O errors. I continue to have video during every boot and shutdown now as well. I can't say for sure if Jaunty fixed the system speaker beep, because I haven't plugged it back in yet, but I believe that it has. Previously, as it was booting, the system beep would quickly, only for a second, sound over my external speakers when the system speaker was unhooked. This has not happened yet in Jaunty.

VERY happy with Jaunty, as it seems to have fixed all of my hardware incompatibility problems. :)

Type : Laptop
Model : Lenovo-IBM ThinkPad SL400 (14'')

OS: Ubuntu 9.04 32bit (ext4 install)

CPU : Intel Core2Duo T5870 2.0GHz
RAM : 3GB DDR-2
Graphics : Intel 4500
Wireless : Intel 5100 (Centrino)

CPU scaling works fine

Wireless works fine. No issues so far. Speeds are decent and signal strength is good.

Graphics work fine. Default screen resolution was set to 800x600 on first boot, but changing it to 1280x800 once in the Display Manager sorted it out. There seems to be slight tearing when playing videos on MPlayer and VLC, but I know this is a well documented issue with the Intel drivers and am confident updated drivers will fix the problem in the near future. Compiz seems to run fine. Played the Linux version of Bioware's Neverwinter Nights and it ran quite smoothly.

Sound works well. Volume levels are very good with headphones on (pretty good bass reproduction if plugged to good headphones).

USB ports work and transfer speeds are excellent. Tested with pendrives and Hitachi, Lacie and Transcend external drives.

DVD-RW works fine. Only problem I had was audio CD's I burned failed to play in my car CD player, but switching to GnomeBaker instead of the included Brasero solved that issue.

Webcam works with Cheese (not tested with Skype yet)

Card reader works with SD and SDHC cards (tested up to 4GB Sandisk Extreme III)

Trackpoint works and sensitivity is decent. Trackpoint center scroll button works as well. Touchpad works well with good sensitivity.

I get between 170 - 210 minutes of battery life with WiFi turned on, depending on what apps I run and whether I have a USB mouse and headphones attached. Pretty decent, considering the manufacturer rated battery life under Windows is said to be 3 hours. It came with a 6-cell battery as standard.

Wired LAN connection works. Not sure if the 56k modem works or not (I don't need it). Not tested Firewire, HDMI and ExpressCard slots yet.

System boots in around 25 seconds (maybe less) with concurrency enabled.

Suspend works well with very fast wake up time. Hibernate works but it takes rather long to wake up. I don't bother with hibernate anymore since it boots up so fast anyway.

System stays cool throughout heavy use. Fans hardly come on (or their very quiet when on, I dunno)

Minor niggles:
Volume buttons don't work (my main gripe).
Some FN key combinations don't work.
FN screen brightness control only seems to be able to change between 2 levels.
There's this very loud beep that occurs when I Shut Down or Restart. I've already turned off system sounds, but it's still there. (PC Beep type sound)

I'm pretty happy with the way this ThinkPad performs with Jaunty 9.04. Hope the small issues I stated above get resolved with future updates.

Cheers~

Okay, I'm very happy with Ubuntu. I will say, this is a viable alternative to Windows, even for people who don't know computers. This is the house we built, and we built it bigger. It is superior to Windows XP and Vista, and it looks better than Windows 7 could dream of looking. It's also bulletproof, I have blue screened my XP installation accidentally multiple times, I can't crash this when trying.

My system is as followed:

Acer Aspire One ZG5
Ubuntu 9.04 (no Netbook Remix just the default install)
Intel Atom 1.6GHz, 32-bit, I can't remember the model number atm
1GB 667MHz DRR2 RAM
Atheros AR5BXB63 Wireless
I can't remember my NIC, but it works
Sound works great, albeit it's a bit quite it seems, but I think it's just me
Webcam works on default install
Integrated graphics work fine.

There's no reason to use restricted drivers, NDISwrapper, anything really.. Ubuntu just works, I mean, the boot time is even faster than Windows. Thanks for proving the whole "*Nix takes longer to boot than Windows/DOS-like systems" myth wrong. With Windows XP on an NTFS drive, my boot time would be about 2 minutes. With this, I can be rocking out to my NOFX albums in about 30 seconds. Great job! The only thing I don't like is the little light on the wireless thing don't come on, and the on/off switch doesn't notify me. I'm not really compaining though..

The only issue I had was when I installed from Windows, the wireless drivers didn't work. At first, it would detect the hardware, but wouldn't connect, and after I chose to use the restricted drivers, it didn't work at all. I even tryed NDISWrapper to no avail, the drivers "worked" but the hardware wasn't detected. It does work however, on my old Thinkpad with the Linksys WPC54G v3.1 PCMCIA card though, and that's great. I ran Xubuntu on the Thinkpad, I will mention. Even the el weirdo flash drive I bought works.

So yes.. I'm very happy with Ubuntu 9.04, in my opinion, the years of the Linux desktop start here. I am encouraging Windows users to upgrade to this, mainly by helping them install it face to face. Wish me luck, I will publish my results here once I'm done doing this.

Sound, desktop effects working perfectly

Issues are all linked with the radeon opensource drivers
Problem with video overlay (OpenGL) applications like google Earth or (runs smoothly without Compiz)
Some games (foobillard, yo frankie and in some cases nexuiz) lock the system - in these cases i was able to log in via ssh and reboot the system (killing the Xorg, gdm or the game processes didnt work, only the reboot command)
Some games (Enemy territory, Regnum Online) wont even start.

Sound, desktop effects working perfectly (the latter a bit smoother maybe then the fglrx on Ubuntu8.10, although the glxgears score went down 30 %)
All in all it seems 9.04 it is a bit more stable then the 8.10 - this computer had some crashes in 8.10 and 8.04 it seems related to the fglrx drivers...

Appears to work without problems though I have not yet tried suspend or hibernate. Compiz works brilliantly, much better than I expected and I have had no difficulties which I thought might happen with the 9.04 Intel graphics incompatibility problem noted at first with 9.04.
Wifi works straight out of the box, no configuration, other than chosing the network from a list of about 5 found.
Webcam works out of the box, even with skype, as does the internal microphone.

Overall a superb buy for ubuntu, especially at the price Curry's (I would not usually use them, but the price!) has it in the UK at the moment, £349.

Hi.

Using the drivers at :
http://solutions.brother.com/linux/en_us/index.html

I have tried installed the HL-5370DW on EVERY combination of these Version/Interfaces

Ubuntu :
Hardy x86
Intrepid x86
Jaunty x86 server
Jaunty amd64

Interface :
USB
Ethernet
WiFi

And it works perfectly except that duplex printing logic is inversed (i.e. if you ask for long side, you get short side, if you ask for short side, you get long side...)

Even if it's quite easy to just inverse you choises, beware that if you're going to pool the printer with others that get the choice right, it might become a problem.

However, burning, or writing to discs on either drives puts alot of strain on the CPU. It didn't in Hardy. So far thats my only issue with Jaunty. Not sure what causes that, or how it can be fixed. Could simply be that my CPU isnt powerful enough, now that Ubuntu has progressed 2 releases

Laptop hardware incompatibility:

I can't seem to get the proper screen resolution. Some menus are hard to use/see because they are bigger than the screen.

My laptop is an HP pavilion dv 2000, not sure if it's the graphics card:

NVIDIA GeForce Go 7150M

or the display:

14.1" WXGA High-Definition BrightView Widescreen Display (1280 x 800)

that is causing the problem.

When I open the 'display preferences' menu, it says the monitor is not recognized.
I've already installed the most recent driver for the graphics card.

Help please?? It's annoying!

I am using a HP Pavillion 753n. I transplanted the motherboard from the original case into an Antec Three Hundred case, and the front-mounted USB ports and everything work fine.

Other than that, using a Logitech Wireless USB Mouse, standard PS/2 keyboard (with multimedia buttons, but I haven't tried using ndiswrapper to make that work since I only recently found the XP driver for it).

I have a HP Photosmart C4480 Printer but I haven't used it quite yet, haven't had to print anything in Kubuntu yet.

No special configuration settings, am plugged in hard-wire to ethernet so I haven't had to setup wireless internet yet, although I do have a D-Link DWL-132 wireless adapter that works fine.

Everything else worked fine, didn't need to install any special driver for the graphics card, as the default one works fine.

The only thing that did not work correctly was the LITE-ON DVDRW LDW-451S (DVD+RW:4x/4x, DVD-RW:4x/2x, DVD-ROM:12x, CD-RW:40x/24x/40x . Will post details in the "hardware incompatibility list".

Two hard drives, a 40 GB with Ubuntu and a 20 GB with Windows 2000
NVIDIA 3DForce FX-5200 128 MB video card (works with both Ubuntu's open source drivers and the proprietary drivers)
Dynex DX-SC51 sound card (mobo sound card had to be deactivated for this to work in Ubuntu)

Ubuntu runs pretty well, although not as fast as Windows 2000. RAM usually sits around 170 MB when idle and it's never peaked 300 MB (however, at it's peak, the swap has gotten up to 250 MB). The processor runs at it's peak when using YouTube and can't seem to handle playing Pandora in the background while doing anything mildly resource intensive. Sound is good quality and the video card/CPU can handle the cube desktop along with most other advanced settings (however, it can crash if too much is going on at the same time). Boot up time is pretty quick but it takes a while to load up GNOME (usually 1.5 to 4 minutes).

Ubuntu, all variants and releases, cannot utilize drivers for PCI video cards. There is no troubleshooting for this anywhere. So as usual, I have to keep windows XP.

Tmobile HUWAI E220 wireless broadband stick worked straight out of the box on my Ubuntu 9.04 powered acer travelmate 201dx (10 years old, surprised it still does anything!). I do however have a "spare" HDD with XP on it so I tried out the stick on that first and used the setup info to facilitate installation on Ubuntu. Must get a drive enclosure for the spare!

HARDWARE:
HP NX-6320 laptop
1.66 core 2 duo
945 graphics chip on Mboard.
2 x 1GB 667ddr2 SDRAM
320 gb HDD
SIL 32 RAID PCI-e card used for ESATA.

UBUNTU VERSION;
super O/S 9.04 running for approx 2 weeks flawlessly.
Prior version was super o/s 8.10 (not so good with motherboard).

BIG HARDWARE PLUSES FOR THIS VERSION;
* Runs instantly + Flawlessly on live USB, + over previous Super_OS.
* All buttons work (volume, wireless etc). - unlike prior version.
* Keeps cool + can hibernate. - unlike last time.

POSSIBLE FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS:
* Battery life's a little better than vista, but not as much as i expected (little effect from dimming screen, scaling down cpu, changing display resolution etc).
* Any Load seems to hardly affect the RAM usage (flat at approx 300MB), instead hitting the CPU.
* The 2 CPU cores appear to be a little less synchronised (lag of approx 1.5 seconds between them).

TIP THAT GOT eSATA CARD WORKING:
* Disable 'native' SATA mode in bios first.
* Transferring between laptop and TB drive (NTFS formats) not as good as vista (CPU + speed).

WATCHING VIDEO IS EXTRAORDINARILY FAST COMPARED TO VISTA. (e.g. 4-5 playing at once smoothly).

THE LIVE USB RUNS VERY VERY NICELY - will do a fresh install instead of putting it on top of version 8.10 partition.

what does not work
1. desktop effects

Does anyone have the answer.

Hardware:
HP DV6934ca laptop
2.0 ghz core 2 duo
Intel onboard graphics (can't recall).
3 gigs ram
320 gb HDD

Current Version:
-9.04 but about to test 9.10 (mint, kubuntu, sabayon, and opensuse all work as well...with their own respective problems)

Works well:
-the HP quicklaunch buttons work Perfectly in ubuntu...no other distro worked out of the box like this!
-sound works fine as well...even on Youtube (which I've had problems with in every other distro I've tried)
-runs incredibly fast! (ext 4)

Not so good:
-Online videos skip around which is most likely due to the intel graphics...to be fixed in 9.10 I hear. Videos I actually have on my computer run perfectly, however (flash issue I believe)

Overall...it's about a Billion times better than Vista!...Just bought a brand new quad-core desktop and right off the bat Vista has frozen almost 10 times in less than a week!! I've never had any problems with freezing or anything related on Ubuntu or Kubuntu.

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Script_for_configuring_the_CS4239_sound_chip_in_Pn P_mode

an installing modconf by synaptic's package manager

Then run modconf from command line adding support for cs4236 and cs46xx which apperrently is blacklisted from start(not mentioned anywhere in ubuntu doc), then find ALSA blacklist conf and remove cs4236 and cs46xx from the list. If still not working then reinstall all to do with ALSA.

Video in 1024x768 works after adding the following to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, otherwise video only works in 800x600:

Upon first boot it seemed fine. After a while the xorg.conf file got a bit jumbled with the new hardware and the nvidia settings. Had to wipe it out, copy an older one into it, do a dpkg-reconfigure and reinstall nvidia settings. Other than that, this setup rolls.

A couple different video cards tested in Ubuntu by me.

Video card compatability - Ubuntu driver compatability status

Video card - ATi Radeon X1950XT

Ubuntu Version ----- Result

Ubuntu 8.XX --------- Pass, drivers available
Ubuntu 9.XX --------- Fail, (card no longer supported by ATi - AMD)

Video card - NVIDIA GeForce2 MX200

Ubuntu 8.XX --------- Pass, drivers available
Ubuntu 9.04 --------- Pass, drivers available
Ubuntu 9.10 --------- Fail, 3D does not work when enabled; screen has messed up colors after reboot. Driver problem standard 96.XX driver.

I will test and post results for more video cards in the near future when I have more time.

Edit 1 : Fixed formatting of text.
Edit 2 : New data about the GeForce2 MX200 compatability. I will retry and post as soon as I retest it with the new driver release from NVIDIA.

Just works. I just replaced the motherboard, switched on, and everything was working (previously i had an ASUS M2V-TVM mobo). I had the proprietary drivers installed for my nvidia GS 7600 PciEx vid card.

I tried it with karmic alpha4 livecd (usb) and it seems the nv driver does not recognise the 8200 IGP - i installed the proprietary drivers in livecd mode and that way it had it working.

If you want to be sure of a printer installing OK, I think the only one you can be sure of is HP .
My HP L7580 installed without a hitch .Plus HPLIP Toolbox available
and have installed it. Makes using the printer very easy. Can check ink available , head info. etc.etc.
Lexmark seems to be bottom of the heap !

Did the bluetooth on your HP L7580 printer work as well?

Does it work? It works.

Here's how I got the Hercules Dualpix HD Webcam (06f8:3003 Guillemot Corp.) webcam camera working in Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackelope.

When I plugged the camera in, lsusb showed it, but there was not a /dev/video0. To get this, I ran

sudo modprobe gspca_ov534Now CHEESE showed the camera, and it worked fine.

When I tried to use it in Skype, the video showed up green. This command fixed that.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skypeI set the ALSA capture to the integrated microphone in gnome-sound-properties. Skype audio worked, but the integrated microphone was not working, even though it worked in other applications. The easy way to get this working was to kill pulseaudio (set its "autospawn = no" in /etc/pulse/client.conf).

pulseaudio -k

Hello Everybody,

Respected mods, Gald to be in Ubuntu forum, as of now i am new to Ubuntu. I am having a dual boot with Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit edition with XP. Always facinated about linux based systems and finally installed ubuntu 9.04 2 weeks back in my Laptop. I want to migrate to Ubuntu completely in a shortwhile.

This is my sytem : Intel Core 2 duo T5750(2Ghz), 1GB RAM, 160GB 5400rpm HD, 14.1in 1280x800 LCD, Intel X3100, CDRW/DVDRW, Broadcom 802.11bg wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 10/100 Ethernet, Touchpad, Camera Built-in, 6c Li-Ion.

Is there any specific drivers for my hardware, if so where is it available?
Everything is working as of now still i have some worries on the performance of the hardware compared to xp. will i get same or more performance with Ubuntu? How it can be achieved?

As of now i have some issues with audio, sometimes it creates some annoying sound. I have an realtek HD hardware with dolby in the system. 256 inbuilt intel graphics.
Bluetooth is working - as in detecting other devices but not able to transfer data.
Anysoftware where in i can switch on the cam in yahoo or any messenger - (Mywebcam is working)

I also want to shift to 64bit edition since my system is 64 bit - Need advice on this too.
Thanks

Give detailed explanations when reporting compatible hardware.

Also Do not post any lspci outputs in this thread as they will be removed with out question.

Please Only List
1)Version Of Ubuntu: 9.04
2)Type Of Hardware: External Optical Drives on Acer Aspire One D150 Netbook
3)Hardware Maker: Acer
4)Hardware Model: Acer Aspire One D150-1165

Ubuntu 9.04 clean installed (replaced Windows XP Home as shipped); System: Intel Atom N270, 1.60GHz, 1 GB RAM, 10.1", 6-cell battery. BIOS name & version: InsydeH2O, v1.05.

Used Synaptic Package Manager and/or Update Manager to update Ubuntu security as well as a myriad of open source apps. D-Link 614+ Home wireless network worked right off the bat, automatically, as did all sound and multimedia (Except for Skype with built-in web cam - no video, no sound input recording, while Ekiga worked automatically! Will be working on this problem.)

External drives worked plug n play:
New Samsung 8x DVD+/-RW slim USB drive, as did an
older Samsung TS-H552 4x DVD+/-RW drive via a Cables-to-go USB 2.0 TO IDE or SATA Drive Adapter

Tested Versions:
Ubuntu 9.04
Ubuntu 9.10
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Ubuntu 8.10

Per version notes:

Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10
Nothing to note, everything works out of the box, wireless card is found and works accordingly. All hardware is recognised, as well as the touch pad. All that doesn't work is the button that enables you to turn off/on the touch pad and the wireless button as they only work with HP proprietary drivers for Vista (only).

Ubuntu 8.10
Same as above, except that wireless does not work.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS
Works fine until I install any video drivers, which means that after booting I have only a black screen, not even the splash comes up.

Everything pretty much works out of the box, except the webcam image is upside down. There is a fix for that somewhere in these forums.
edit: oh right, the ACPI calls seem to not be working perfectly, because the "restart" action does nothing. and you can only suspend the computer once per session.. after that, it just won't work.

Installed 9.10 in an old Gateway 400vtx Laptop 2.0gz mobile p4 1.25 gig ram intel 855 graphics boots and works great. Oddly way better than 9.04! It found all the hardware SD card slots and all the only thing I havn't tested is the modem (but who uses them any more) the only issue I have with this machine is it reboots instead of shutting down, but it does that with every linux build i've tryed in it!!

Ubuntu 9.10 on Lenovo x61 with 1 Gig RAM. New install and everything seems to work great. Not done with testing but main components such as video, sound, wireless and wired Network all works as it should. You can connect, disconnect multiple times from wireless Network and it works. Very simple to add new wireless networks. Very simple to adjust display settings.

So far a very good release. :-)

I'm new to Linux. Installed Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala on my laptop last week. Everything worked upon first boot, except for a few Fn+ key combos. Touchpad sensitivity needs some fiddling, but is mostly good.

I got some popping sounds when using headphones, but they're not there anymore, so I presume it was a glitch the the software updates patched up.

Overall, I'm having a very pleasant experience. Thank you, Ubuntu.

Sony Vaio VGN-SZ4VWN/X

using since 8.04
64 bit version of ubuntu

9.10 sorted out
1. no more issues with build in speakers, sometimes quite silent ticks are comming from built in speakers, but that is not a problem. Ubuntu thank you for fixing this ;o)
2. Memory stick duo slot is recognized and working now.

9.10 screwed up
1. hibernation/sleep -> nvidia module doesn't want to unload resulting in screen locking only
2. webcam. due to different timings in new kernel module doesn't load properly in boot time. Must be reloaded manually. Then it works fine in skype and other apps. There are issues with flash. Video is distorted and once camera deactivated, it is not possible to activate again, you need to reload module in kernel again.

Never worked
1. fingerprint reader. The only driver I found that supports same hardware on other laptops is not workign and not supporting Sony laptops ;o(
2. functional keys (brightness) are not working out of the box, but this can be mapped manually.
3. webcam not working out of the box, you need to build driver module yourself.

Over all good job guys...

Fujitsu Siemens S6120 worked without problem on 9.04x32 but was very slow, with 9.10x32 it run very smooth and nice --> 9.10 must be less hardware demanding

Acer Aspire 4810TG runs perfect on 9.10x64 on Intel Graphics only. The built-in ATI HD4330 doesnt work with the proprietary driver offered in Ubuntu.

2 Monitors samtron 19" and samsung 17" on extended 1280x1024 (2560x1024)

Printer : Epson dx4050 (dx4000 family)

Intro : My "baby" was getting sadder day by day with XP and got worse (a depression) with Windows 7 RC1. I am a "tuxer" since I first encounter MANDRAKE, a redhat distro, in some good old days. Tired of seeing my "baby" going some other way, where 60% of my processor power went to antivirus, antimalware, antispyware and so on, and to firewalls and as I was trying win7 facing the fact my "baby" was going to be a micro$oft zombie (sorry Balmer, no other way to call it !) I decided to go Ubuntu.

Installation: I first tried 9.04 x32 from a dvd and was pleased to see the installation process (I also tried Wubi) was fairly smooth. Then I when 9.10 x64 from a USB bootable (WOW !! nice feature !!).
When choosing a partition, the process was to not so fair. From what I read here most people have already or need to set a separate partition and most do not have it already so for me the options would be :
1- choose type of installation
a) "/", swap
b) "/", "/home", swap
c) "/boot", "/", "/home", swap
D) choose your own
2 - get the space for it
Notes: The color bar should be proportional.
The optional partition manager should be it as it depics the system in a more intelligigle way
3 - show what was chosen and ask al least 5 times if we are certain :)

Working : Everything is working ... and fast ... a "so fast" i was not use to.
The repositories and synaptic is a excelent idea for those who are "graphic" and for those like me that are attending the WA (Windows Anonimous) meetings. Joking !!! This software collections are marvelous and hassle free.

Disks and Partitions : I have already understanding of the mount command that I had to refresh because of the many, many options. In "Places", all my drives appeared but then when going "FSTAB" things started to get somewhat confusing because of label mixup (I gparted and changed some to fit some needs). "Places" went nuts (doubled up) and found "Mtab" to have some disconnected entries, deleted all /dev related and restarted. Because of user priviledges, then found that (root alters root entries and user do not have write access to some /etc) root@nautilus did not match user@nautilus. The mount options "default,user, users" solve some of the problems.
NTFs-3g if awsome and the configuration tool is a dream come true :) - If the hard drive is alright all goes well but if it's starting to fail be aware (not ntfs-3g fault of course) so monitor closely ntfs drives/partitions .

Setting a "/home" partition is also a good idea. In a different partition you can backup some of your system configuration files, data, vmware disks and so on.

Network : Easy to set in no time either using dhcp (default) from a router or modem or setting a static ip.
Internet is more secure than I ever had, firewall does not clog the system, can fully profit from having a broadband connection (thing I was not used to !!!)

Sound : Everything went fine after setting up the 5.1 speakers. (Note to self: need to understand the ALSA and the others) Play all formats without trouble and without background interference like a trully multitask system.

Graphics : After some missapps, (all my bad) and with Nvidia driver (keep up the good work !) my 2 screens are working flawlessly. Only be sure to restart as some settings need at least a session restart, and with the nvidia driver be sure when cool booting to have both monitor turned on.

Virtualbox : WOW ! I tried it in windows but did not harness the power that I get from it on ubuntu. And I have now the perfect windows (f*ck MS system restore!!) just install xp and your apps and tweaks then backup copy the vmware disk and you can system restore. It's not a game machine but you can not have it all. Now I can turn my partition XP professional into from game console (yes I can not stop playing games ... sorry!).
It's awsome to have ubuntu in one monitor and running a vboxed windows XP (windows 7 is lame and heavy!) for some apps that don't run in wine.

Security system (read/write access) : Way simpler and, at first glance, way secure than the windows system. I can easily access from ubuntu to one of my "tight secure" ntfs partition. From Windows to access ext4 partitions I will try Ltools. Also nice to see it that web apps also do not have full system access, it is the biggest problem in windows, being IE6 worsen by IE7, both having more access to the system than a user !!

Printers : This seems to (still!) be the Aquilles heel of Linux, mostly because lack of support from manufacters. I contacted Epson to ask for support for at least one of my Epson printers and all I got a negative response, which I strongly protest. So the way is to sell my Epson printers (and sotp buying consumables) and go Brother that has some support.
in the past, other printers made leave linux behind because of lack of support from OEM's, knowledge and time to learn, but now that is not the main attribut so...
Still In 9.10 it found a compatible printer driver that prints, yet the scanner lacks some of the features.

Graphics : Gimp is very powerful, and for movies there is almost everything (too a little pick at ubuntu studio).

Games : It seems some games are being ported to linux, so that's good news so i can leave the "old windows xp game console" (hey it's better the xbox and it does not melt after a year !)
And playing freeciv makes me return to the old days !
If nvidia is on board what is the problem (and delay ) for harnessing it's gpu power ?

Keyboard and Mouse : All good and compatible. USB works like a charm, plug and unplug mouse and USB keyboard with not trouble. I even can use my full keyboard again as my model is listed !

Burning : Burns cds and dvds like a bushfire, without clogging the system !

Conclusion :
I have 80% pc power to use again;
no crashes, freezzes or "the blues" (windows joke);
can use my whole memory (Me and my disks were seek of swapping !);
feel alot more secure in the internet (can even go to those "you have a virus sites");
Multitasking is real ... not an advertising catch phrase !

Only [non]issue is that the proprietary drivers for the ATI graphics still will not load. Standard drivers work fine, though.

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 from a Compaq Presario C551NR Notebook. It has a standard DVD-ROM drive, with CD-R/RW capabilities. It also has a built in Broadcom wireless card, but the version number escapes me. To make the wireless work properly, you must start with Ubuntu 8.10. This version has the drivers for the wireless card in the system already, and has the immediate ability to enable them after installation. If you go to 9.10 forst thing, you will be able to get the wireless drivers by using the update function in System --> Admin. --> Update Manager. This gives you the drivers, but when you enable them and restart, you discover that the network applet doesn't have the ability to connecto to a wireless network. So if you plan on having the latest and greatest version, start with 8.10. PM for more details if you want. Also, if you are planning on connecting to an Airport Extreme or Express, make sure that you obtain the HEX equivalent of you password, no matter the encryption. Otherwise the password will not register. Again, PM me for details.

96.43.14 and 96.43.13 video drivers.

While Ubuntu recognizes the video card and installs the default drivers, it gives you the option to install the 96.43.13 video drivers. When installing these drivers, you may get the computer to reboot properly in some cases, however in a few cases the screen was displaying a bright bar at the bottom of the screen. These drivers could be harmful to the computer as well as the screen in their default configuration and shouldn't be installed.

I don't know if this is a good question for this forum/thread or it’d be better posted to Tom’s or Anandtech; please forgive me if this is this is in the wrong place.

For absurdly unimportant and irrelevant reasons, I need to build a small Ubuntu file/web server — and I’m about to order in a couple hours.

Requirements are absurdly small. There are only two or three of us in a home office (PCs and Macs), each working on simple documents and the occasional web page. Not a lot of traffic, and nothing more than file sharing and the occasional testing of a web page (all Internet-hosting is done off site; this machine won't ever go beyond the router). The rest of the network’s speed is Gigabit, so onboard LAN is important. I’ll be running it mostly headless, but onboard VGA will help setup and maintenance. I guess the only other thing to consider is that I’m going to be putting two 1.5 TB Seagate Barracuda drives in there in RAID 1.

I have one machine now that I put together, based on an Asus P5KPL-CM. But it took just a bit of hoop-jumping to get it right (among other things, LAN drivers didn’t work out of the box). I can go through a fit of driver installs again, but I’m wondering if there is a simple and tested workhorse combination out there to make this as easy as possible (Linux noob, if that’s not clear).

Thanks,

Rhythm

I've been using the Powercolor video cards (air cooled, no fan).

It's PCIE 16 with 256 mb's of memory. It has all three connectors, D-sub, DVI and HDMI!

Runs cool, silent (no fan) and the graphics look good!

I've done some moderate gaming and it holds up, so it will certainly handle desktop tasks and watching videos.

I'm using it right now, Ubuntu 9.10.

Trust basic wireless keyboard and mouse, Model 16593. Not the best quality kit (no LED's, media buttons) but it's working fine. Had to enable USB Legacy in BIOS (using old k/b) for it to work at grub/boot. No issues with Legacy USB (YET!). I'm now single booting into Ubuntu 9.10 x64 so it's not really an issue for me if I have to disable it at some point.

System : Laptop Samsung R522
Ubuntu : 9.10 first 64 bits, finally downgraded to 32 bits

I will look to complete this post regularly when I have more experience with this PC.

Setup : with install CDROM, install quite straightforward, but I had to manually do the partition, the proposal was to remove completely the system. I wanted to keep a dual boot.

WLAN : could not get the Realtek 8192E integrated WIFI to work with 64bits. Issue seems to get a 64bits XP driver to use with ndiswrapper.
After full reinstall of the 32bits version, network works fine with ndiswrapper. (Also not out of the box...)

Touchpad works fine, including the scroll side.

Fn- keys :
Sound on/off and volume ok
Brightness : nok, will have to figure out how to set them up. (Added brightness applet to the Panel, it works fine: Did not have time to try to map to Fn Keys)
Screen on/off : nok
Battery status : nok
Euro : nok (anyway, I have no clue what this key should be good for as AltGr + E work fines for € symbol)
Touchpad on/off : ok
VerNum : ok
Wifi on off : nok - swithcing wifi on / off via software also have no impact on the wifi status led.
Energy / performance modus : nok

Video : ATI Radeon HD4650.
Working ok, I guess with the fglrx driver from ubuntu. But no 3D, fglrxgears does not run.
Cannot setup desktop effects, I guess this is also due to the fglrx driver.
The proprietary driver option was not proposed first, but after internet connection, I can select it.
fglrx then works, with 1922 fps. Desktop effects are also available.

Webcam
I tryed quickly with Cheese and the webcam works fine out of the box. No futher testing with skype or any similar application.
Fine means as fine as on Windows, as I find that the framerate of the cam is quite low...

USB
- Integrated card reader
- USB Memory stick
This works out of the box, but for some reason after a while running, newly plugged device will not be detected. It seems that if the computer stays on standby for a while, it will work again when coming back from idle. Strange.

Everything pretty much worked out of the box off a clean Live CD install, with the following exceptions. Multi-gesture touchpad; pinch to zoom, two finger scrolling does not appear to work. Side scrolling, tap to click all work, have not attempted to get pinch to zoom working. Disable touchpad while typing, although enabled in the touchpad preferences, does not appear to work correctly.

Wireless, using Atheros ath9k driver, while working was a bit flaky; poor signal strength, somewhat frequent disconnects/reconnects, having to resubmit WPA passkey, &c. Installing karmic back modules, as described elsewhere in these forums, corrected the issue. Signal strength now very good, no disconnects.

All Fn keys I have attempted to use work, including screen brightness, volume control, sleep, and mute. Suspend and resume on lid closing and opening works as intended.

I was pleasantly surprised with this purchase since I neglected to check out its compatibility beforehand. I am not the main user on this machine. So I don't have all the details.

Everything worked, but I haven't tried the HDMI output. There are only threes things that needed a little adjustment. The rest is straight out of the standard Karmic installation.

08:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01)
NetworkManager didn't like it at all. I switched to wicd, and it worked okay for a week, even though it was kind of slow for an undetermined reason. All of the sudden, it stopped working completely (suspending may be to blame). So I switched to MadWifi (v0.9.4), and it's been working perfectly.

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics]
The default install was usable, but I wanted full 3D. Switching to the restricted ATI drivers under System -> Admin -> Hardware Drivers worked fine.

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
Default installed worked fine, except the microphone stopped inputting after 10-20 seconds. I had to reboot to get it to work again. I did two things to fix this, and I am not sure if one would have done it without the other.

First I installed the linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.31-17-generic package
Second I commented out "options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N" in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

(4) Display card: mother-board integrated nVidia GeForce 6150 LE
(5) Audio card: Sound Blaster Montogomery 3, also integrated
(6) Monitor: Dell E177FPc (17", with an analog interface only)
Works excellently after solving the display car driver problem (See below).

Linux distributions used in history on this PC:
1. Redflag Linux 5 & 6
2. Xubuntu 8.04, Xubuntu 8.10, Ubuntu 9.04
All worked fine.

Problem after installing Ubuntu 9.10: ”cannot display this video mode“ problem with Ubuntu 9.10
Problem Description:
After the basic installation and update (sudo apt-get update), from System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers, there are 3 versions of the proprietary display card drivers: 96, 173, 185, among which version 185 is labeled "[Recommended]". However, using this driver will cause the ”cannot display this video mode“ problem. (There is also another line of text below ”cannot display this video mode“: "optimum resolution 1280x1024 60Hz".)

Solution:
Install version 96 of the display card driver. Both 173 and 185 will bring about the problem just above mentioned.
Use display card driver vesa to start X to modify X configuration with VI if the problem occurs.Only on X can I install version 76. Do not know how to install it under console. If you installed version driver version 173 or 185 and cannot start X, switch to the console mode (Ctrl + Alt + F1, or F2, or, ..., F6), edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf,

Section "Device"
Identifier "Device0"
Driver "nvidia"
...
EndSection

Comment out this line:
# Driver "nvidia"

Add a new line:
Driver "vesa"

(vesa is a pseudo-driver which makes it sure that X window starts correctly though the resolution is not high.)

Problem unsolved: A highly possible mother-board related defect with my PC
However, I'm sure my this PC has a mother-board related defect , which causes the system freeze once or twice a day, several days or one week. I've excluded the possible memory problem by replacing it with several other brand memory chips, but the problem remains all the way from Redflag Linux, Xubuntu and Ubuntu.

Untested: Standby/Hibernate (did NOT work with Mint 7, based on 9.04)

HOWEVER: Exercise caution with kernel updates. I wasn't too careful, installed just about every extra kernel-package (modules-backport, lbm-headers, modules-alsa-backports, etc) and found that wireless went down with kernel versions 2.6.31-15 through -17 - -14 and -19 works just fine. This seems to be related to either backported modules and/or libc-updates. (I'll update this post if I find out in more detail.)

Note: Laptop would only restart when trying to shutdown.
This was fixed after bios 38.01.07 was installed.
I also initially installed a remastersys 8.04.4 image but screensavers never worked even though I had all the correct programs installed.
I had to install Kubuntu 8.04 from scratch in order to get the video and screensavers to work properly.

1) Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala 32bit
2) Presentation Remote
3) Made by Keyspan
4) Presentation Remote Pro (PR-PRO3)

Works flawlessly in Ubuntu, even if only certified for Windows and Mac.
The forward and backward buttons work with no problem. So does the volume up and down keys. F5 works as desired, as does the black screen button.
There is no problems with the mouse nor any of the mouse keys.

Also, as a little review
The remote is amazing. Powerful laser pointer, and amazing quality. Definitely recommend it.

There are some issues but they are fixable:
Brightness > 100% fixable
Wifi - works great! But some ppl say that on battery it tends to lessen the signal. That's fixable too, but have no 100% cure yet).
Mic - some said that they made it work. I can't.

Only thing I've noticed doesn't seem to work is the WIFI LED (the hotkey works to enable/disable, just the light always stays on).
The camera is mounted upside down, I can't remember the fix but found it through a quick google.
The (Elantec) touchpad is incorrectly detected (as a Logitech mouse if I remember right) but all functions including 2 finger scrolling and 3 finger tap (for right click) work correctly.

All hotkeys work, hibernate/suspend/resume all work, Atheros wirless (haven't tested 'n' as I only have a 'g' router) is rock solid anywhere in my house.

I haven't tested the card reader or speaker out/mic in sockets.

Somebody gave me old Compaq Pentium3-500 GHz, with 256mb Ram, 10 GB hard drive. With help from friend we converted it into Ubuntu 8.04. It has been amazingly stable for almost 2 years, just doing updates. . I love it . . Even my wife loves it, . . . never ever a box with a message "you have committed illegal operation, your program will shut down".

Then I converted for my fellow teacher Del Desktop with Intel 2.67 GHz (single core), 500 MB Ram. It works great on Ubuntu 8.04 as well . . :)

okay I'm new to the forums.

I have a laptop this is the specs...

Toshiba satellite l505d-s5965
aamd athlon dual core ql-65
3gb sd ram , 250gb hdd
15.6hd trubrite wide screen
dvd super multi with flash label..

I dunno if either of the burners work, but everything else seems to pan out
EXCEPT. well I guess I should put this.
I'm a windows geek, I've always been keen on the windows fronteer, my friend recommened I try out ubuntu because I hate vista, this came with vista, I put win 7 on it loved it until it went ungenuine, so here I am I have ubuntu 9.10

I put it on my acer netbook as well and it works great minus the sound.

The sound and everything works on here except for my fn key fuctions, but the normal functions work and my touch pad ...

which my touch pad is most important to me, as I have kids, and find myself with in many play places and parks using wifi, i wanna be wireless, not have to carry a mouse with me.

I was wondering if anyone knew how to get the touch pad work, or be able to talk me threw it or what not, I am willing to give out my messenger name, It ried to get on IRC but i can't find where to make a lgo in, to get on irc, so i gave that up i'm hopeing for help on here. then I also have one more issue lol

my battery life is like so much less than what it was before it's abrand new battery i replaced it because I figured it went bad it happenes, and I know it's not the best battery out there but I use to get a good 3-4 hours on it with just typeing as i"m writing a book, and now i'm lucky to pull and hour if that out of the thing. toshiba said it's a driver however they do not support ubuntu so they wont help me lmao warrenty or not. so ubuntu u voided my warrenty lol but thats okay i still love you thus far! I'd love u more with longer battery life and a touch pad, I could care less about the rest of the fn functions i can do those all threw your system manually which is okay with me :)

Sound and onboard ethernet work right away. Graphics fully usable in 2D mode right away (using default open-source driver), and installing the FGLRX driver brings fully-functional 3D acceleration for the integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200 chip. No glitches or issues at all that I have noticed. Hard to ask for a more painless board to use in Ubuntu.

Edit: there seems to be a bug in power management in the 2.6.32 kernels used in Lucid which prevents this machine from hibernating or suspending (it will hang on both) and will not allow the machine to power off when shutdown. Works fine from the Hardy live CD though.

I am a newcomer to Ubuntu, so please bear with me. I know the following is a lot of data. Note the RAM, GPU, HiDef display, second hard drive, optical drives, and OS are not what shipped with the desktop. I initially installed a second hard drive, downloaded the Ubuntu v9.10 ISO, burned a CD, booted from the CD and installed Ubuntu on the second hard drive. The following are issues I had to resolve. I did not have to repeat these when I upgraded to v10.4 LTS beta2.

1. Commercial DVDs would not play. I assume this is true for all new installs due to license issues. I followed the instructions in the Ubuntu Help Center (from the top toolbar) for playing DVDs and now both optical drives work.

2. No sound. I used System/Administration/Sound, tab Hardware to setup for my configuration. The STAC 92xx series has many options for analog and digital outputs, so of course setup depends on attached sound hardware.

3. The could not configure my dual monitors correctly. I used System/Administration/Hardware Drivers to find and install the Nvidia proprietary driver. This also installed System/Administration/NVIDIA X Server Settings, which worked. However, when I selected the button Save to X Configuration File I got a parsing error for the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Every time I logged in I had to reset the monitor configuration. I believed this was a write permission problem as it never asked for a password. With help from the forum I fixed it as follows:

-Made a backup of the configuration file by pressing Alt+F2 and entering "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup". I found out X is a capital letter the hard way.

-Next Alt+F2 and entered "gksudo nvidia-settings" and made my choices. In the left panel selected X Server Display Configuration, in the right panel selected the button Save to X Configuration File, which now worked since I had write permission for root. Voila!

Model NAV50 or 532h-2807. MFG Date: Feb. 2010. Wireless: Atheros AR5B95.
Works very well. Webcam and wireless are no problem at all.
Known Issues:

Touchpad scrolling doesn't work in the latest Beta; neither edge- nor two-finger scrolling.
Touchpad's "disable while typing" also doesn't work. But with a few days of practice it's not much trouble.
Microphone doesn't work out of the box, but setting PULSE_SERVER to localhost before running an application seems to fix it. I.e.: /bin/sh -c "PULSE_SERVER=127.0.0.1 program-name" will launch program-name with full microphone support (program-name can be gnome-sound-recorder, skype, etc.).
Card reader Not found in Ubuntu9.10 also cannot boot from SD at all.

This is a multifunction card slot.

Note:(In Windows 7:SD Card is listed as a Disk Drive(Combo-Drive) on ENE USB Mass Storage Controler

YO!

I found my wife's old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280 laptop and then decided to get it going again. I installed the maximum amount of memory and loaded Xubuntu 10.04.

The specs are:

Xubuntu 10.04

Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280
Intel PIII 500Mhz clock speed
100MHz bus speed
Memory: 320 MB PC100
Graphics: S3 Savage IX, 64 Bit AGP
Hard Disk: IDE, 6 GB 4200rpm Toshiba MK6014MAP

update**
Hard Disk: IDE, 40GB 5400rpm Hitachi HTS541640J9TAT00

Wireless Card: PCMCIA Edimax-7108PCG

I updated the bios to the latest available [2.70-TRAD] from Toshiba's web page.

And it works suprisingly well! The wireless card worked straight away with no mucking about. It took a while to confirm the actual laptop model number [4280] as there's a label at the bottom of screen that says "Satellite Pro 4200 series" - very confusing indeed.

It's got 1 usb port (v1.1), 24x CD player and a floppy disk drive. I would also like to replace the hard disk with something larger and faster as I've only got 1.8 GB space left free.

**update - hard disk now upgraded, see top of post :)

The playback on youtube is choppy [can a 500MHz processor anywhere provide decent frame-rate playback from youtube?] and it cannot switch itself off at the end of the shut-down process.

Except for the flash playback for youtube, this machine can almost do your typical web browsing. Any suggestions or further tweaks that may help?

Please Only List
1)Version Of Ubuntu
2)Type Of Hardware
3)Hardware Maker
4)Hardware Model

1) 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) 64 bit and 9.10 (Karmic Koala) 32 bit
2) Laptop with built-in microphone, webcam, backlit keyboard, etc
3) Dell
4) Studio 1535

My built-in microphone works well in both versions of Ubuntu. My webcam works through a Flash recorder in Firefox, but I can't get it to work in Cheese in my 8.10 version, though it works fine in Cheese in Ubuntu 9.10.
As for my back-lit keyboard, I had problems with it in the past. I think I remember turning it on, and having the whole GUI of Ubuntu freeze up on me, though that was from a much earlier version of Grub and 8.10. I haven't tried that in a while though.
I had a few problems in the past getting various hardware to work in 8.10, but I think I eventually got mostly everything to work on this laptop. I really like ubuntu a lot, and look forward to using future versions of it. :)

runs lucid pretty much out of the box except for one thing...the wireless has a kill on boot command and cant be activated in linux (i Used .vbs in windows to automate it).
This can be cured easily and very simply using a screwdriver and small piece of masking tape to cover the kill signal pin.

The purpose of this thread is for you, the user, to post what hardware/hardware combination works with Ubuntu for you. If you wish, you may post how the hardware works (configuration related), and the steps you took setting it up. These informations will help other users to choose new hardware and it will also help the UDSF archivers to update the Hardware Compatibility Guide.

Everyone is welcome to post here, as long as it is hardware related data. For help with hardware problems, please use the standard procedure of searching the forums, and starting your own thread for assistance if no answer is found.

Give detailed explanations when reporting compatible hardware.

Also Do not post any lspci outputs in this thread as they will be removed with out question.

Please Only List
1)Version Of Ubuntu
2)Type Of Hardware
3)Hardware Maker
4)Hardware Model

*NOTE* This thread is exclusively for the listing of compatible hardware. Any idle chatter or unrelated posts will be moved/removed accordingly. *NOTE*

Thank you.

PS: the old compatibilty list thread can be found here and will remain closed :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=183664

is there a bash command that lists only that info that you mentioned?
I would like to post a positive hardware compatibility experience
Thx

1)10.04
2)Laptop
3)Toshiba
4)F60-00M

All the basic hardware works, though after installing from the install CD I had to get the kernel update before the wireless network would operate correctly. I haven't tried the microphone, but sound output, 3D card, LAN, wireless and webcam all work with the latest updates.

The only thing I know of that doesn't work is restarting: I have to shut down and then press the power button to power up, otherwise the screen goes black and nothing happens.

The computer did come with a MS-DOS partition table and four partitions, so I had to tell the system recovery tool to delete the French copy of the OS to free up a partition to install to.

In reference to this posting for help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1483778

Touchscreen serial.
IBM celeron 2.8ghz
1gig ram
15gig HD
Lucid-lynx 10.04LTS

I had put the WINXP HD back in so I could be sure that the ELO graphics driver would work.
WinXP showed the screen as being a intellitouch 2500S, with this info i sallied forth on another hard drive to try and get Linux to work as seen on some video's.

Out of the box 6.10LTS ELO graphics driver and easily found xorg.conf setting had the touch working (calibration was required but it worked).

I wanted to jump to a later kernel etc so installed Lucid-lynx.
As I believed that xorg.conf in /etc/X11 had been depreciated I googled for help but couldn't find anything.

All the gory details of what my experience is in the above url if you the read needs further help on this.

It's settings where in reference to ELO touchscreen systems and the model 2500S intellitouch.

What did I do?

From the repositories install xserver-xorg-input-elographics.deb
in the folder /user/X11/Xorg.conf.d create a file xorg.conf and enter the lines below

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "ELO Touchscreen"
Driver "elographics"
Option "Device" "/dev/ttyS0"
Option "AlwaysCore"
Option "screenNo" "1"
Option "MinX" "4100"
Option "MinY" "0"
Option "MaxX" "0"
Option "MaxY" "4100"
Option "UntouchDelay" "5"
Option "ReportDelay" "1"
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Xorg configured"
InputDevice "ELO Touchscreen"
EndSection

In /etc/udev/rules.d/ I created this file 69-touchscreen.rules with the text below.

# Elo Touchscreen
KERNEL=="event*", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e7", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0020", SYMLINK+="input/evtouch_event"

This got the touch working now for calibration!

I found from Googling a program call touchcal, I downloaded it (source attached)

Logged out and from the login went to command line (note you must compile it first) and to run the calibration program ./touchcal this being in the source file directory.

the resulting numbers I recorded and then rebooted.
Once back in (I am not as comfortable on the linux command line as some) X I edited the above xorg.conf file so the values where below

Option "MinX" "4026"
Option "MinY" "4026"
Option "MaxX" "0"
Option "MaxY" "-16"

This then got the calibration working for 1024x768 screen resolution.

Hope this helps someone else.

Installed 10.04 on a Dell Studio XPS and dual booting with Windows 7. Everything works fine except the headphone jacks. Plug in the headphones and the speaker sound cuts out but no sound through the headphones. Sound through the speakers is fine though.I`ve googled around and this is a known issue, but so far there is no fix available.

1) Ubuntu Karmic, Ubuntu Lucid (extensively tested both versions)
2) Notebook
3) MSI
4) MSI GX 720

Notes:
It worked out of the box.

Tested devices, ports and interfaces: DVD-ROM, audio (external and internal), webcam, bluetooth, wireless, USB, Ethernet, VGA).

Ports not tested
Firewire, e-SATA, HDMI (i suppose they work fine, only I didn't have any device to use with them)
Modem port (I had problems in the past with laptop MB integrated modem chipsets, particularly as they are usually win-modems and the drivers for them are either proprietary (see Connexant/Linuxant) or not available at all for Linux. In this case (MSI GX 720, I tried using the modem on a fixed telephone line using Efax but it didn't work and I gave up)

Bottom line:
The notebook works wonderfully with Ubuntu.

1a)Version Of Ubuntu 9.10 installed on USB for testing. Worked great
1b)Version Of Ubuntu 10.04 clean install to HDD, dual boot with fresh install of WinXP SP3
2)Type Of Hardware Laptop
3)Hardware Maker HP
4)Hardware Model Pavillion dv8300 (ex177av)

Tested 9.10 for over a month on the USB stick (8GB) with persistence.
Running 10.04 since released.
Both had to install proprietary video drivers (Nvidea)

Formated both hard disks (2 120GB SATA) set 1st to Ext4 Ubuntu 10.04, 2nd set 2 partitions: 1st partition NTFS to Boot WinXP Media Center edition SP3, 2nd partition NTFS but shared data between Linux & Windows. Everything works great so far.

I have not tried burning CD/DVDs in Linux yet, or lightscribe. Also have not tried the TV tuner yet, as I don't have an input for it currently. Some day maybe I'll test it.

I spend probably 95% of my time in Linux, and even use several windows programs via Wine, so I can continue with the familiar software till I get a chance to find and test Linux equivalents that I like. So I only boot into Windows for very few tasks anymore. Once I get those tasks converted I will remove the Windows from my machine forever!:grin:

Recently had over heating issues. But after reading several threads on these forums and installing some monitors on my task bar the over heat is a thing of the past. Linux and the Ubuntu forums, an unbeatable combination!:biggrin:

Mouse incompatibility cherry xero works in windows 7 but stops my bois from starting up so every time i start up i have to remove the mouse then plug it back in once windows has started up but totally refuses to work in ubuntu

there for im guessing its more a problem with the mouse than ubuuntu but it is annoying having to change mice when my old mouse doesn't like my mouse mat and will skip all over the desktop

don't really expect a fix because its not a highly popular mouse

The workstation is home made with a Gigabyte motherboard and Seagate es drives.

I recommend both of these items.

Sound card has problems (ALSA needs to be upgraded, issues/bug with hda_intel module - errors in log file). Works on and off (may work for some time and then stop working) and only Analog Duplex. If Digital duplex sound is on, the mic is not working. Otherwise it works quite fast, but i suggest an inexpencive PCI sound card to be added in order to get propper sound with this Ubuntu release.

320 GB hard drive
4GB DDR3 SDRAM

Installed ubuntu 10.04 (64-bit) in dual-boot configuration with Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium). I used the Windows partition editor to shrink the Windows partition and deleted the HPTOOLS partition (contents saved in Windows). Smallest size Windows would allow was about 150 GB. That left about the same amount of space for ubuntu. After that installation was straightforward.

I added a Logitech laser mouse and Samsung USB DVD drive (shared w/netbook).

Most everything works--minor problem with touch pad not turning off (seen in other HPs).

This is a nice and fast laptop--starts up and shuts down about twice as fast as Windows.

4. SR1411NX

Yes, this was very slow with Windows but not too fast with Ubuntu. There are no drivers for the integrated graphics so don't bother searching for them. I know they don't exist. The OS freezes and at around 30-50 min., it just shows some weird images and stays like that until you force to shut it down. It now has 1GB RAM and I took off the PCI modem and card reader to conserve more power and it also helped in Windows 7 to stop showing me the safely remove hardware dialog for the faulty drivers. The fan gets out of control when the PC is idle. Other than that, the system boots quite fast.

As for the rest of the motherboard specifics, chipset, sound, NIC and whatnot- I'm not sure as this is a pre-assembled machine.

Everything is working out of the box. I have had no issues at all. As for the ATI Radeon, I thought I would have a problem, but so far I've had none. I am using the open source driver, I have not tried to install the proprietary one.

I also am using an HP Officejet 6500 all-in-one usb printer, which is working well. This did NOT work OOB. I had to install CUPS, and pretty much much everything that said "HPLIP" that I could find in synaptic. After that it's all good.

The printer is also working great with my 2 Karmic 9.04 systems as well.

Hi,

I need to install Compiz and emerald to get the 3D Desktop. Could you please send me the link for hte same...and also the instructions on how to install the same

Thanks

I have a vista home basic enabled laptop which was corrupted by the virtumonde virus and i couldnt get it to bootup. So i decided to install linux. I took a iso file of ubuntu 8.04 LTS to my friends XP machine and created a bootable Live USB using unetbootin. Install went perfectly, no hickups.This is my first linux install on a real computer and so far, i am amazed at how simple it is. Being from a windows background made me think i would have to deal with cryptic command lines and still not get anything working. But letme tell you, it all freaking works right out of the box. Here's my configuration

Compaq Presario V3702AU Laptop

AMD Turion 64 X2, 1.9GHz
1 x 1GB, DDR2-667 Samsung
160 GB, 4200 rpm HDD Western Digital
Nvidia Geforce 7150M GS graphics card (287 MB shared RAM)
Nvidia MCP67M Chipset (Nforce 630M)
Integrated WLAN 802.11b/g Broadcom
Connexant HD Audio
SD Card Reader
Built In webcam 1.3 Mpixel

Installation took 15 minutes + 1.5 hrs to download/install updates. Then it prompted me to download and install propriotory drivers for wlan and gfx which i did and they work smooth. Then i installed compiz+emerald for 3d desktop.

I got the following hardware up and running out of box.
Audio, SD card reader, Webcam, Bluetooth, Volume up/down/mute buttons, Media player buttons play/pause/next/prev etc, Brightness up/down, hibernate button, inbuilt and external microphones, all led indicator lights.

Yet to check out the following:
External monitor, PCI-express slot, firewire, s- video port, quick launch button, HDSOFT Data/Audio modem

I hope this helps other Compaq V3702X users out there who want to migrate to Linux.

USB external hard drive
Freecom
Mobile drive Classic II

This is a 250 GB external hard drive and works fine for me.

Out of the box, it has a single (primary) partition, formatted as FAT32. I used Gparted Live (version 0.6.2-2) to:

1) Shrink this original partition to 35 GB.

2) From the free space released, create an extended partition containing 4 (logical) partitions.

3) In each of these new partitions, created an ext4 file system.

4) Add a meaningful label for each partition, since Ubuntu will then use these labels for mount points when I plug in the external USB drive. For example, a new partition labelled "drama(mp3)" will be mounted at /media/drama(mp3). Otherwise, the partitions will have mount points using UUIDs.

Compaq Presario C500 and a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10

Still fighting to understand how it all works but willing to learn.

Lexmark Z32 printer via USB prints SOME lines garbled from Open Office but there seem to be so many different ways to print and I just cannot get a clear overview of them all (CUPS, lp, lpr, lprm, lpq, Red Hat, Ghostscript etc.) I tried the suggestion at http://www.linux.com/learn/tutorials/262243-introduction-to-printing-in-linux where it says to start cups type the following:
/etc/init.d/cups start

Response:-

deltaman@plimsoll:~$ /etc/init.d/cups start
Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
utility, e.g. service cups start

Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start cups
deltaman@plimsoll:~$ service cups start
start: Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.55" (uid=1000 pid=2506 comm="start) interface="com.ubuntu.Upstart0_6.Job" member="Start" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="com.ubuntu.Upstart" (uid=0 pid=1 comm="/sbin/init"))
deltaman@plimsoll:~$

So what did I do wrong....puzzled of Tonbridge.....

Lexmark have no linux drivers despite other Linux forums pointing to some for the Z600 which might be the one I want but they are seemingly not available when I have lookedhttp://ubuntuforums.org/images/icons/icon9.gif

The two lights on the printer flash after each print and then I have to hard boot the printer to do anything else with it. This does not happen on a windows machine with the same cable/printer.

Canon lide25 scanner will do a rudimentary scan but cannot be associated with a GUI seemingly.
Canon told me to go away, so I WILL go away to HP who have scanner support for Linux.

Getting my Vodafone mobile connect dongle has taken some time to make work, and all is now ok apart from being unable to see how much of my 5GB limit I have used without calling and asking Vodfone!!!

WHilst highly delighted with Ubuntu for speed in general and many features too numerous to mention, I seem to be caught in an upgrade loop similar to that experienced when moving from ******* XP to Vista where I had to buy a scanner which would fit in with the OS rather than the other way around....

Fuji camera FJ-100 was recognised and catered for with no problems.

Motherboard - no idea
Display - 32' Vizio xtreme tech HDTV
Graphics card - Whatever was built in..

It's a compaq presario.

Is there a terminal command to pull some of my hardware info? Id really like to know...

By far the easiest router to install once isp user name entered it largely set itself up. The setup software is impressive.
And since it is one of the cheapest I have been delighted.

The purpose of this thread is for you, the user, to post what hardware/hardware combination works with Ubuntu for you. If you wish, you may post how the hardware works (configuration related), and the steps you took setting it up. These informations will help other users to choose new hardware and it will also help the UDSF archivers to update the Hardware Compatibility Guide.

How about a link to the UDSF Hardware Compatibility Guide? I searched but could not find anything other than dead links dating back years.

Also... The particular search I'm involved in at the moment is desktop motherboards known to suspend/resume. If you're posting "everything works" please indicate if you've tried this and please give it a try!

many thanks,
hank

Edit: I found the UDSF:https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UDSF

Searching for "hardware Compatibility Guide" gets me:

Your search query "hardware Compatibility Guide" didn't return any results. Please change some terms and refer to HelpOnSearching for more information.
Info (!) Consider performing a full-text search with your search terms. I did that and found lots of apparently obsolete references to laptop compatibility but no hint of an actual guide. :(

I'm not covered by any embargo, and I bought these off a retail store... so

Intel Core i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz
MSI P67A-GD55 mainboard, Intel P67, Sata-6G. I used only the 3G ports, USB3 untested, no USB3 stuff lying around.
4GB of cheap Kingston DDR3 RAM
Intel 160GB G2 SSD
ATI 5770

Works fine, works well so far. Networking works as expected.

Recent upgrade

Gigabyte MA785GA-US2H
AMD AthlonII X2 240
Nvidia GeForce 8400GS
1 stick 2 GB crucial PC-6400 DRAM

Not a firebreathing gaming rig but it seems very stable and all the hardware seems to work properly. It suspends and resumes reliably. I had the Nvidia card and Nvidia has a good record with Ubuntu so I chose to not use the onboard ATI video. This replaced a 6 year old Gigabyte board whose SATA ports were occasionally uncooperative. I'll add a second identical stick of RAM soon so I can experiment with virtualization. The MoBo has 4 DRAM slots which doesn't seem common on MicroATX boards.

I picked up a Lenovo H320-4041GU (http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/328254/Lenovo-H320-4041-1GU-Desktop-Computer/) from Office Depot the other day, and I've been very impressed with it. Lots of features packed into a small, fast, powerful package. It's nice!

And what's even nicer is that installing Ubuntu Studio 10.10 (AMD64) went flawlessly. Sound and video "just worked" with a base install. The wireless card (Atheros AR928X, according to lspci) worked fine after I installed wicd. JACK worked without any tinkering, which was another major plus. Basically, everything works the way it's supposed to. I've been using the install for a few days and I haven't noticed any strange quirks or lacks of functionality.

Some things I haven't been able to test:

- The HDMI port
- The multi-card reader

I had a hard time finding anything useful on the Internet about this particular model of computer, so I figured I'd mention it here. In sum, the Lenovo H320 appears to run Ubuntu 10.10 quite reliably.

My current configuration of my desktop is:
motherboard: Intel HD55HC
processor: Intel i5-750
ram: 8Gib (4*2Gib modules, type: OCZ3G1333LV2G)

i'm running Maverick 64bit and i cannot get the whole 8Gib of ram to be utilized (lshw can see all 8Gib, the system utilizes only 4Gib).

The problem is also present if i try to use only two ram modules in dual channel mode, then the system utilizes only 2Gib, unless i set them so, that the modules are in single channel mode, than the system utilizes 4Gib.

Conclusion - "dual channel" does not work, maybe the second channel cannot be used.

Hardware: Logitech MK320 Wireless Keyboard and Mouse combo

OS: Ubuntu Studio 10.10 (AMD64)

Functionality: Plug and play; works straight out of the box. Most of the hotkeys (volume up/down/mute, calculator, mail, sleep) work as well. A few of the hotkeys (Internet, lock screen) do not, but that's just a matter of configuration, I'm sure.

Overall, I was very impressed! A good product made excellent by the fact that it plays so nicely with Linux.

Here's my complete system setup, and it all works out the box. Will list driver version where possible.

I've got Ubuntu 10.10 64bit installed on a dual-boot with Win7. As of posting, the kernel is 2.6.35-24-generic, with Gnome 2.32.0.

Asus P7P55 LX motherboard - so far just don't use any IDE drives as there's still Linux booting issues with the IDE controller for some reason.

Intel Core i5 760

4GB of memory being recognised as 3.9GiB. Not sure if that's actually 4GB as GiB is different to GB.

Samsung hard drive. Not sure what model, but it's a 1TB drive.

Creative 5.1 speakers. All speakers work fine through the sound testing, but haven't been able to test through any other means.

Samsung DVD Writer. Works fine reading disks, not tried writing to any yet.

Nvidia GeForce GTS450. Using 260.19.06 drivers which is the minimum version required for this card.

Samsung SynMaster 943 monitor. Yep, this works as well, even at higher resolutions than Win7 would allow.

Microsoft Natural Ergonic 4000. All the basic buttons work out the box. Not bothered about the extra features.

Logitech MX-400. Works perfectly out the box.

Ubuntu 10.04 on laptop Axer Extensa 5220

This worked nearly straight out of the box. I installed it on the backup partition that Acer had created and the GRUB dual boot routine worked excellently.

Only the wireless network did not work straight away. The acer has a built in Broadcom wireless. To get it working I just plugged it in to a router and clicked from the menu in the top bar System> Administration> Hardware Drivers... and let Ubuntu search for drivers. It came up with some combination of a wrapper and a driver. I selected them both and it worked from then on.

The wireless connection did seem to drop out occasionally but that seemed do fix itself,possibly as a result of downloading updates.

The only thing that is wrong is that sometimes after going into sleep mode, it fails to wake and I have to force it off and reboot it. Not a big problem.

I am currently running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid and am having fantastic results with it.
I recently purchase an IOGear Bluetooth USB Micro Adapter GBU421WM. I plugged it in went to PREFERENCES -> BLUETOOTH and set it up so I could send pics from my phone to my computer.
That was all I did and it works great.
I don't get to help much on here but if I run into something that I can add, I'm doing it.
Thank you Ubuntu for a fantastic OS: 10.04 Lucid.

Hi, just want to share my sys info :)

motherboard: Gygabite EP45-UD3LR
everything works without any problems with every linux that I've used !
suspend and hibernate (and recovery from..) is very good, no problems occured. used it with ubuntu since ubuntu 8.04 now with 11.04 (everything between :D) ; and tested with various linux live cd, all worked.

CPU: INTEL CORE2DUO E8400 (3GHZ) -what to say, one of the best at that time (that is to say 2 years ago :) )

ram: 4GO DDR2

other:
webcam: logitec UVC webcam 10€ The cheapest ! works with everything (with flash too! for videoconference with service like tokbox or koowy.
Video quality is equal to as that we can have with windows. One rule to follow with webcam is to buy UVC standart ( universal video class ).

apm multicard reader : of course works out/ob :)

Grabbed hplip-gui from the archives, which is from HP Linux Imaging and Printing (http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/index.html) , and it all pretty much installed itself, very easy.

HP Pavilion t3560.uk (Desktop)
Pentium D 945 3.4GHz, 2GiB memory
Ubuntu 10.04 (Kernel 2.6.32-33-generic-pae; Gnome 2.30.2)

For about 3 months, I have been using an IronKey Personal S200, 2GB (https://www.ironkey.com/files/datasheets/ironkey-personal-s200.pdf).

I found the behaviour rather more automatic than suggested by the instructions that came with my IronKey (IK). Under Ubuntu 10.4 and 11.04, inserting the IK into a USB port automatically produces an entry in the Places menu and an IronKey icon on the desktop. If your system is configured to automatically open removable media when inserted, then you will also get a Nautilus window with a view of the IK's files.

This instance of the IK is an interim one, a partition that does not contain your secure files. To unlock the IK and reach your secure files, open the linux folder and then the ironkey file within that folder. This prompts you for your IK password, and after supplying it, you will see your files in the secure partition of the IK. From here on, you can transfer material to and from the IK as you would for any other USB storage device.

When finished, right-click the IK icon on the desktop and select safely remove drive. This both locks the secure IK partition and then unmounts the IK.

As detailed in the manufacturer's description of the IronKey, the on-board applications do not work under Linux. This is not a serious loss for me, since when I've used the IK on the PCs of my local library, the only permitted web browsing is by using the Internet Explorer provided on their Windows XP platform.

Various other functions, such as initialising the IK and changing its password, you must do from a command shell. All this is well described in the IK user guide, but of course a simple graphical interface into these functions for Linux users would be nice: not everyone lives in a command shell.

I just got a custom made system, a real cheap box with hopefully enough power. So far its working great!

Here are the specs:

M4A88TD-M Asus mobo + Athlon II X4 640 with core unlocker, turboV EVO, and crossfireX support

3.0 Gighertz Quad Core
Socket AM3
Southbridge is 880G SB850
2 gigs of memory
Realtec ALC892
Realtec 8111E

The 850 southbridge is important to avoid the buggy 7.1 or 7.5 southbridge from AMD. I got the best processor I could for the money. I do wish I had gotten a bit better processor, with better caching. This thing has 2.0 MB total cache :|

I had to clear out my alsa and sound settings, but finally the sound is fine. I used the FGLRX graphics drivers cuz I am just using the on-board video, ATI Radeon HD 4250. Yeah, the video sucks. Almost seemed like the video driver screwed up the sound, but its all good now. Oh, yeah, this is Natty 11.04.

And I had one weird bug, my time was wrong and the dialog would just crash when I tried to change it. But that suddenly fixed itself perfectly...

OS - Ubuntu 11.04, no special mods.

Medion E4600 DualCore2 Duo @ 2.4Ghz, 2Gb RAM and 500Gb Seagate and 500Gb W.Digital.

Switched the ATi HD3450 card - (no hope) over to an Asus/nVidia EN210 Silent 512Mb DDR2 running on the 270.xx drivers.

Everything runs 100%, full-screen Flash video is smooth, higher settings possible in 3D games, plus all known desktop compositing modes.

Be warned though, the E4600 has a slightly odd motherboard - the PCI-e slot is next to the 20+4-pin socket, making it a close fit for any graphics card. Bigger cards with large fan arrangements may not fit. Graphics cards with double-height requirements will NOT fit. Since the nVidia 210 has no fan, but came with a double mount plate (don't ask me why), it took five minutes of creative fun with a hacksaw to make it fit - don't try this at home kids!

Also had an issue with the location of the drives being very close to the tower case. Removing the side panel snapped one of my SATA power plugs! Turns out it is part of the case panel runners that gets in the way of the SATA plugs. Again, five minutes with a hacksaw removed the offeding section.

Overall, performance is solid, and makes for a very stable Ubuntu box, but the weird hardware layout can put a few people off.

It works just about perfectly* in Ubuntu Linux 11.10 32-bit. No drivers to download, no configuration required, just plug and play. And both the mouse and keyboard are quite nice.

Even the extra and multimedia keys on the top work almost perfectly.

* well 3 of the six multimedia keys should work but don't: the play, previous track and next track buttons. They're trying to do something as a big "no" symbol comes up on the screen but I can't configure them. I'll make a forum post but this issue is quite minor.

My old WD Raptor hard drive was failing (it almost went completely a few days ago) and I wanted to upgrade to an SSD but my motherboard with its rather unique VIA SATA I controller couldn't handle a new SATA III device. Yes, they're supposed to be backwards-compatible but this is the only controller that isn't.

So I got a new(ish) motherboard along with a new SSD. I installed Ubuntu 11.10 on it, it's now running fine:

MSI G31TM-P21
Crucial M4 64 GB SSD

This works great as an OS drive, there's lots and lots of space - still about 55 GB free! Incidentally it's also very very fast even on the SATA II controller on this board. Splash screen to desktop...5 seconds.

I'm very pleased.

Type Of Hardware: webcam
Hardware Maker: Philips
Hardware Model: SPZ2000 and SPC900NC

Both has worked flawlessly out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 10.10, with Cheese, Skype and Flash +10. I only had to add the env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so before the commands, but it was a single modification to the menu and it was all. I have used gstreamer-properties to test the cams, which also worked at once, no frills, from the first time (with the benefit of telling me they were V4L1/L2 compatible.)

Although I have tested those webcams with a Dell L520, they also worked fine with Brazillian local makers Positivo and Itautec, both with Ubuntu 10.04.

Downloaded the video driver direct from nvidia website, works great, downloaded the realtek driver from their site, was a piece of cake, clear audio.

At first I tried to install 11.10, and it did NOT install at all, the installation hung consistently at one point. I don't know why, and I hope that I can install 12.04 later, after they get most of the bugs worked out of it. But thats not a big worry for me.

This is a fairly cheap system and very fast, I overloaded the RAM to be sure it would fly using the pae kernel.

Thought I'd add my new webcam to this list. Own brand from Asda (Walmart).

Princely sum of £7.95 for 1300k pixels and built in mono-microphone.

Video fine on Camorama webcam viewer

Video & Audio works fine in http://meetings.io/ and http://tinychat.com/

Video fine on Google+ Hangouts but no audio - a quick Google reveals a number of users having same issue.

Haven't got Skype so not checked.

Also, all hardware in my sig below works fine.

Cheers

The system would hang on shutdown until latest driver from AMD was installed,
After the last update, I could not boot into GUI until driver was removed and replaced with driver in Ubuntu repository.

At first I posted this in the incompatibility list since when I initially plug it in it does not work. However after some extensive testing I can get it to work: plug the USB cable in, power up the drive, unplug and replug the USB cable. After that it works fine provided the power is maintained.

Works all the time in USB 2.0 mode, in USB 3.0 this little rain dance is required.

Everything seems to work out of the box with 2 minor exceptions:

1. The display is corrupted with graphical artifacts on boot - http://i49.tinypic.com/4l4l6a.png - but resolves itself after switching resolutions then reverting back. Sometimes requires more than one attempt (have not tested Bumblebee).

2. The WiFi card stops working and is unable to recover after going into standby.

Hope this helps!

Everything is just fine, but the monitor. As TerryMasters' prob, I often got my monitor be like this http://i.imgur.com/HFksc.png or http://i.imgur.com/5wo55.png

But it can be solved by maximizing the window, and revert it back (restore). If the error stay still, I just do maximize-restore till it's gone.

@Raphial Hebert: Everything up to and including 10.10 (apart from 10.04 LTS) has reached end of life and no longer supported. 11.04 only lasts until October. Perhaps not great having a no longer supported release on a server. LTS releases are best and advised for server and production machines. ;)

I am fully aware that these, below 11.04, are officially unsupported, but I really dislike Unity, and the Gnome desktop on these versions are completely different, making these distros really inconvenient for me, as well as a lot of others I've noticed.

Plugged the Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse combo USB dongle into the laptop and the keyboard and mouse were immediately recognised and operational, no drivers or tweaking required. They just worked 'out of the box'. ;)

And the numeric-pad? I also use 10.04 on a Packard Bell I5 desktop, but the numeric-pad just moves the cursor no matter if I press numlock on or off....:confused:
When I log in, the numeric-pad seems to generate the numbers well, but after login, the numeric-pad doesn't work except for moving the cursor.

Maybe someone has a bright idea what to do???

In gstreamer-properties it is detected and used as a Video4Linux2 device and I'm pretty sure the webcam just follows the UVC standard.

Both video and audio from the device are fine.

Installed Skype 4.0.0.8 64-bit from its official web site and both the webcam's video and audio worked correctly with no additional configuration on my part in a call to a Windows XP machine.

Dell Optiplex gx150 (Intel Celeron 1 GHz, 512 MB memory, from 2001).

Everything works with Lubuntu 12.04 when using the alternate ISO.

First the BIOS (http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails?driverId=R89211) should be upgraded to A11.

During installation some combinations of boot options (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions) are needed, for example nolapic and acpi=off. This is done from the F6-menu.

After installation: If you see a garbled screen after applying all updates and rebooting, the boot options can be replaced with

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="vga=791"

(more about VGA codes here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VESA_BIOS_Extensions#Linux_video_mode_numbers)). Don't be afraid of editing the GRUB 2 configuration, it is no big deal.

The computer does not serve any useful purpose by today's standard. Installing was mostly done for the challenge of it.

Is there a Hardware Compatibility List for SLED somewhere? I think I saw
someone link it once but I can't find it. I'm specifically interested in
printers and scanners. (I.e. if someone buys [device] is it going to
work or cause me no end of grief.)

I found this 'NOVELL: Partner Product Guide: SUSE Linux Enterprise
Desktop' (http://www.novell.com/partnerguide/section/676.html) but
that's not really any use since there's only one printer listed there.
(I guess hardware's only going to get YES certification if the
manufacture makes the effort to get it and most won't.)

I found this 'HCL:Scanners - openSUSE'
(http://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Scanners#Scanjet_3970c) but it only refers
to openSUSE and is inevitably far from definitive.

HP dc7800 Convertible Mini-Tower Business PC

Ubuntu 12.04

I don't want to talk about the dc7800 so much as what I added to it. I wanted to modernize the unit and make data transfers between HDD's more convenient.

Bought a Kingwin KF-253 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817990016) from newegg. It looks cool, and provides hot swap bays for big desktop HDD's and little notebook HDD's. It also has two USB 3.0 ports.

The dc7800 doesn't have any USB 3.0 capability. So I bought a Silverstone SST-ECO4-P (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815256004) at the same time as the Kingwin.

I didn't really know if any of this was gonna work or not...

Your PC has to be configured to AHCI in BIOS, or the Kingwin hot-swap bays won't work. And you can't just change an existing install to AHCI from the old-school IDE emulation. Your OS (Windows or Linux) has to be installed after BIOS is set to AHCI.

The Silverstone ECO4 needs a separate power supply, provided via Molex. I had some Molex fan extenders laying around, so that was no big deal.

I don't have any USB 3.0 device, so I can't provide any USB 3.0 speed test results. With the Kingwin USB cable connected to the Silverstone, the USB ports on the face of the Kingwin read USB 2.0 thumb drives.

Ubuntu picks up any 2.5" or 3.5" HDD inserted into the Kingwin. A word of caution here - I nudge the HDD in as far as I can with a finger. At first I just set the HDD in the opening and used the Kingwin's bay door to insert the HDD fully, but it felt like the door was gonna tear right off so I stopped doing that.

I like the card because it has a header for most of the new cases you get with USB 3.0. If it works let me know..

Alsa version: 1.0.25

Works out of the box, you only need to fire up alsamixer and increase volume (Meridian Clock Selector, Meridian Clock Selector 1)

Don't know how to achieve a higher sampling rate, even if playing FLAC only the first LED light is on.

The same goes for Ubuntu 12.10 and Kernel 3.8.x of Ubuntu Raring

Meridian says Alsa version should be >= 1.0.23. I suspect it could play better than it does now for me. Or I need better headphones (have Shure SE315 and RHA MA450i)

EDIT: The Meridian website now says that Alsa has to only be >= 1.0.23 (it used to say >= 1.0.32)

I have Ubuntu 12.10 running on a ZBOX-ID80 with an Intel® Atom™ CPU D2700 @ 2.13GHz dual core with hyperthreading. It has 2GB of memory and a 320 GiB hard drive. This is a basic system (there is NO keyboard, NO mouse and No display - I have accumulated a lot of mice and KBs and an extra display over the years due to the virus laden, slow Microsoft machines I had been buying so I had spares). The system I described costs me $300-$25 (rebate) = $275. It runs awesome and gives me a very small form factor PC that meets my needs. It fits nicely behind the display on my desk. I don't have to climb around under my desk and route cables. I simply can't recommend it enough. I just took the system out of the box and plugged in a CD RW drive with an Ubuntu 12.10 disk that I burned with my Dell mini 9 running Ubuntu 12.10 too. The ZBOX immediately found the 12.10 OS and installed without any issues. This is so much better than any windows machine (period!).

According to Slashgear, in fact Microsoft has integrated hardware detection capabilities in Windows RT with a lot of other devices, from printers, scanners, mice, keyboards and other devices using the USB port.

And according to Microsoft, the number of hardware devices that the company has integrated the ability to identify the Windows RT up to 420 million devices.

I recently bought myself a new desktop pre-installed with WIndows 8 that I've dual booted with Kubuntu 12.10 and now Ubuntu 12.10.

Components
Main-board: MS-7798
Main-board firmware: MSI ClickBios II (UEFI)
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3550 CPU @ 3.30GHz
GPU (integrated): Xeon E3-1200 v2/3rd Gen Core processor Graphics Controller (HD2500)
Audio: 7 Series/C210 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller

Added components
USB wireless brand and type: Conceptronic C300RU Wireless N
USB wireless chipset: Ralink Technology, Corp. RT3072

Compatibility
Kubuntu 12.10
Graphical glitches on the desktop, disappear when changing rendering to Xrender in stead of OpenGL. Wireless works ootb. Installs fine.

Ubuntu 12.04.2
Live session works fine, Wireless ootb. Installer fails to install GRUB in separate /boot partition though.

Ubuntu 12.10
Perfect. Wireless works ootb and the GPU handles Unity fine. Installs and boots fine with separate /boot.

My Installation Procedure

Use the disk management in Windows 8 to make room for Ubuntu (I took ~ 50 GB)
Press <F11> at boot to pick a boot device, pick DVD drive.
Create ext2 partition for /boot in empty space, I gave it 500 MB.
Create swap area the size of your RAM
Create ext4 partition for /root to take the remainign space
Install GRUB in the /boot partition, not MBR!
Finish installation and reboot to Windows.
Install EasyBCD
Add Ubuntu to the boot menu, point EasyBCD to the partition of /boot
Reboot again and see if Ubuntu boots correctly.

Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
Gigabyte H61N-USB3 motherboard
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G2120 @ 3.10GHz
8GB PC1333 RAM
Built-in video (HDMI), audio (HDMI), network (1000baseT)
OCZ-VERTEX PLUS 60GB SSD
Windows MCE-compatible USB infrared remote

Works well except the audio, which has a bit of static. I can only get the HDMI audio to work at all (with static) if I use the MythTV software mixer; everything else results in incomprehensible audio. If I could fix the audio it would be basically perfect for front-end work. The box itself is silent, you cannot even hear the fan from more than a few inches away. I know nothing of how audio works on Linux; any help would be appreciated.

Would like to use the builtin Intel MPEG decoder too, but am using HQ OpenGL for blitting. Works fine.

First of all: This is old and slow hardware. By modern standards it is hardly useful, and some applications like Flash and Chromium are not available for PPC, so one should only install Buntu for the challenge of it.

When using a standard keyboard F12 opens the CD tray. Windows + Alt + o + f gives access to Open Firmware.

My iLamp needed a new CD drive. It takes a little while to disassemble (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ1Y76qfT14‎) the unit, but it is doable.

Download the 12.04 mini ISO for PPC and install from CD. Only a single-use CD worked, neither rewritables nor boot from USB did. Pressing c during power-on boots from CD.

The install works as usual except for some vivid colours, but one might need to enter the package mirror manually.

When booting from hard drive some boot options are needed. Mine (sporting an Nvidia screen card) needed the command

Linux nouveau.modeset=0
or

Linux nomodeset

at the yaboot prompt. Booting without options shows an interesting display of slowly fading colours and patterns.

With the minimal system installed

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

brings rest of it (note to self: Lubuntu would probably have been a better choice than Xubuntu).

Now booting into the system (with the above-mentioned boot options) gives a barely usable desktop in Andy Warhol-ish colours. I didn't find a way to make the default Nouveau driver behave well, but switching to the older nv driver (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2131644) did the trick.

The system is stable, but it might freeze without warning for some time doing regular tasks. Just wait and then wait some more; it will come back to life.

It's a good idea to add System Load Monitor or similar to the top bar to see how the workload is. When updates or another heavy task is going on just leave it for a while.

So the minimum FGLRX driver is 13.10? Do you know if it works with the non-beta driver from the ubuntu repository?

I currently have tested the system really far on ubuntu 13.10, on ubuntu it should work also, but i had some trouble with letting ubuntu detecing my hardware(the videocard mainly).
The prioritary drivers of AMD will give ubuntu the chance to let the card really stretch his legs.
The beta drivers are performing a little bit better on my feels (dem feels)

Would have tried Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS, but the DVD reader is dead, and I was unable to solve bugs with thumb drive boot. Lubuntu fits on a CD, so, it 'won'.
Dual boot with Windows XP is working fine.

Hibernate does not work. Monitor shuts off, cpu/box does not. I have to hard-reset it to get it out of this state. I think this issue is reported/known for the AMD 64 version.

Edit 2014/04/23: Automatic update to Lubuntu 14.04 went well. I tried Hibernate. It is now disabled, so it's an improvement over the previous version.

ASUS P4P800-VM (BIOS works 100%)
Pentium 4 HT 3.0GHz (HT works good, a little bit on the slow side sometimes)
GeForce FX 5200 (using latest propetiary drivers, sometimes a little bit of graphics glitches)
1.5GB DDR RAM
20GB Matrox hard drive (not much space, so you can't dual-boot but it works fine)

And most if not all is well used original 2003 hardware.

A lot of advice on Canon Pixmas exist, but the quality of said advice varies a lot.

Here's a guide for a Pixma MP610 (and similar printers) running from a 64 bit Lubuntu 13.10.

Without USB cable attached: Reset the printer on the display.

Run
sudo apt-get update and
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade just to make sure that everything is up to speed. Reboot as needed.

After that

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:michael-gruz/canon-trunk
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install cnijfilter-mp610series

Now connect the USB cable.

Go to System -> Printers

Click 'add printer'.

Wait a couple of minutes until you see MP610 in the window to the left.

Select the printer and proceed with next, next, next, finish.

Now printing should work and the same goes for Simple Scan, the built-in scanning application in Lubuntu.

Ubuntu Version: 13.10
Type of Hardware: Wi-fi Adapter
Hardware Manufacturer: Rosewill
Model Number: RNX-N600UBE

It works out-of-the-box with Ubuntu 13.10. It has a nice long USB cord and the actual adapter sits nicely on a level (or nearly level) surface. This is more of a desktop wireless solution because I would prefer just a little dongle if I were using it for portability with a laptop, but for a desktop, especially maybe a tower you put on the floor, the USB cable and separate adapter would be ideal.

Ubuntu Version: 13.10
Type of Hardware: USB 3.0 SATA 3.0 HDD Docking Station
Hardware Manufacturer: Unitek
Model: Y-1072

This docking station works flawlessly with Ubuntu 13.10 via USB 3.0 with a couple of Western Digital 500 GB drives I have, but I have a 1 TB Western Digital drive that would not work with it via USB 3.0, though it would work via USB 2.0. I went through a bunch of troubleshooting, RMA'd the drive, and the replacement also failed to mount. I filed a bug report, then an upstream bug report, and still go no solution that would make the 1 TB drive mount. I got my hands on another external drive enclosure (an Icy Dock Blizzard, see below) and it works fine with the 1 TB drive, so I suspect it is a chipset issue with the Unitek.

Works out-of-the box with Ubuntu 13.10 via USB 3.0. I haven't tried the eSATA connection. I've had issues with three other brands of HDD dock/external enclosures and USB 3.0 in Ubuntu 13.10, and this is the one that works best. I haven't had any problems with it.

Ubuntu Version: 13.10
Type of Hardware: USB 3.0 External HDD Enclosure
Manufacturer: Rosewill
Model: RX35-AT-SU3

I've tried two of these, and neither one will reliably connect to Ubuntu 13.10 via USB 3.0. They occasionally connect, but it's not reliable at all. They do work via USB 2.0, but if you don't have a USB 2.0 connector on your machine you'll need to disable XHCI in your BIOS (if you can) to use the older EHCI controller at USB 2.0 speeds. It's a kludgy workaround at best, and who wants to pay for a USB 3.0 device to get only USB 2.0 speeds?

This wireless card worked out of the box.
It has an Atheros chipset and is using the Ath9K driver.
It is fitted in a Dell Dimension 1100 desktop, (year 2004) Intel Celeron D 2.8Ghz

Note:
I have used TP-Link wireless cards in several Linux computers and found, in my experience, they have good compatibility.

I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and it worked no problems except the graphics weren't good and it was slow because of the shared memory. I installed a Nvidia Geforce FX5200 video card, it installed automatically and works fine and the graphics were great and it ran faster. Then I replaced the 2.2 GHz Celeron with a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 now I have a computer that runs fast like a new machine.

AMD QuadCore Phenom in an Asus M3N-HT Deluxe using the onboard graphics.
I had difficulties installing Ubuntu 12.04.4, the GUI wouldn't come on. After some poking around, it turns out that re-installing WITHOUT allowing the download of updates or 3rd-party things solved the issue.
After a successful login, I performed a complete system update and rebooted, and everything is still fine.
Prolly a 3rd-party driver that isn't really compatible with the hardware, or that wasn't setup properly, or whatever.
Hope this helps somebody somewhere some time.

Works out of the box after charging and plugging in the USB receiver. May need installing the 'joystick' package and possibly 'jstest-gtk' too, for a visual check of operation. 'jstest-gtk' registers all axes and buttons correctly only if a LED (number 1, etc.) on the back of the controller is on. To turn it on/off, press the 'home' button on the gamepad.

Thought I'd add my tuppence-worth (for what it's worth;*Groan...*)

Running a 10 yr old HP-Compaq Presario here. (SR1619UK, model EK335AA)

Just installed 14.04 'Trusty Tahr' (last night, in fact). Install was extremely straight-forward, and very quick: 22 mins in fact from start to finish, including wiping and reformatting. No problems WHATSOEVER.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3200+@2.0 GHz.

**Update** (04/04/2015): Upgraded to Athlon 64 X2 3800+ dual-core@2.0 GHz. Works perfectly on this board, with BIOS update to ensure dual-core support. Essentially two 3200+'s on the same die, the system is snappier, somewhat faster, and FAR more responsive.....and now multitasks even better than before. A worthwhile investment, for £7.90 off eBay.....and a couple of hours work.

MSI MS-7184 mother board. Fellow Presario owners will know this as the 'Amethyst-M'. Due to the above-mentioned BIOS upgrade for the X2, the system now thinks it's an MS-7093..! #-o

http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00378480

.....ATI chipset; RS482- and SB400-based.

3GB DDR1 RAM from Micron (2 x 1GB, 2 x512MB), running in dual-channel configuration.
On-board ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics chipset.
Western Digital Caviar 'Black' 160 GB internal HDD, and Seagate Expansion 500 GB external USB HDD.
**Update** (26/08/15) WD Caviar 'Black' (PATA) now replaced with WD Caviar 'Blue' 500GB (SATA), due to the former developing lots of 'bad' sectors quite recently.....and it's over 10 yrs old, with a lot of hours 'on the clock'!
Dell E151 FPp 15" Plug'n'Play monitor @ 1024x768 (donated by my brother, when he bought his iMac with 'Retina' display; cheers, John!)
Logitech K120 wired USB keyboard.
Logitech Zone Touch T400 wireless mouse (this is brilliant, 'cos in Windows you need to install Logitech's Setpoint software to get the best out of the mouse; at 80 Mb+ it's NOT lightweight). It works perfectly "straight-out-of-the-box", even the sideways scrolling!
CoolerMaster B50 'single-rail' 500W PSU recently (July '15) replaced the original generic 'silver box' PSU of 300W.

Normally use an Ethernet connection, but sometimes use wireless TP-Link WN-725N 'nano' wireless adapter, when I'm running my elderly Dell laptop on the 'net...wireless won't work with that, so RJ45 it is.Haven't even plugged this in yet, so haven't tried it. Will add update when I do..

**Update** (09/06/14); used this for the first time two nights ago; touch wood, no problems so far.

Generic Bluetooth packet dongle, which I use for file transfer between the two computers. This IS recognised, but again, I haven't yet tried it.

**Update** (18/06/14); used this last night, and paired it with the Dell laptop, which is running Lubuntu. Data packet transfer works well, in BOTH directions. Both computers are in fact using identical dongles, so I wouldn't have expected any problems...

Epson Stylus SX218 printer/scanner/all-in-one. Just sorted out the driver for this. It's installed, but I can't try it at the mo, 'cos it's out of ink!!! Again, will add update when I've tried it.

**Update** (14/06/14) Printer working fine; built-in scanner is another matter ENTIRELY!! Will post update if & when sorted.

**Update** (23/07/14) Scanner now working A-OK, after installing separate filter and data packages from Epson's website (data package MUST be installed first).

**Update** (09/01/15) Added HP 2300 1080p webcam. Picture works very well; haven't yet got the sound to behave itself...

**Update** (24/02/15) Added Transcend PCIe USB 3.0 adapter card. This has really speeded up data transfer to the external Seagate, as it, too, is USB 3.0.

This system works perfectly.....despite being a 'Heinz 57'!

Hope this helps. ;)

I used an Ubuntu installer from a USB flash drive. It booted fine, but once Ubuntu started the installer failed with "no medium found." After some googling, I found I needed to enable IOMMU in the BIOS. Did that, was able to install Ubuntu (64 bit, 14.04), but networking wouldn't work. Also a lot of "IO_PAGE_FAULT" messages until I disabled the USB 3.0 controller in the BIOS. I tried flashing the latest BIOS (F2e beta, released 2014/09/01) but no change. I tried various combinations of IOMMU enabled/disabled and kernel options (iommu=soft, iommu=pt, amd_iommu=on) but could never get on the network.

Final solution: Bought a cheap network card. F2e BIOS, IOMMU enabled, USB 3.0 disabled (may not be necessary if you're ok with kernel load errors), no kernel options.

The Dell came with 2 * 150 GiB hard disks in fake-RAID (http://skrypuch.com/raid/). Before installing it's recommended to disable fake-RAID so the two disks are independent.

After that one is free to install on the two drives separately or arranged in software RAID.

A few weeks ago, I was given a free HP Pavilion Elite HPE-112y PC with the following specs:

Memory -- 8 GB
Video graphics -- ATI Radeon HD4350
Sound/Audio -- Integrated Realtec ALC888S Audio

Hard drive -- 1 TB
CD/DVD disc drive -- SuperMulti DVD Burner with LightScribe Technology drive
Blu-ray Player

I wanted to check this hardware before refurbishing it as a Windows desktop PC. I used Ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bit to evaluate this free cast-off hardware. The Ubuntu install worked fine and I could confirm that the video card, sound card, and wireless card operated properly.

I have recently moved to an Acer AXC-605-UR2B, where I am running ubuntu 14.04 LTS 64-bit
Processor: Intel® Core™ i5-4440 CPU @ 3.10GHz × 4
Memory: 3.7 GiB (nominal 4 GiB)
Graphics: Intel® Haswell Desktop

The UPC of this unit was: 8 87899 77823 0 I ordered it from Newegg.com.

I purchased this particular PC because it ships with Windows 7 installed. I am trying to wean myself off Windows, but still use it for some things. I want nothing to do with Windows 8.

This PC has a small case, but still includes an optical drive. It came with a 1 TB hard drive installed. Should I ever want more memory, there is a slot left for expansion.

I had expected the PC to come with UEFI and a GPT partition table. In preparation, I studied up on ubuntu dual-boot installs under UEFI. To my surprise, this PC was set up the old-fashioned way. It boots Windows 7 in the old legacy BIOS mode, does not use Secure Boot (I believe that one is only on Windows 8 anyway), and has the MBR partitioning. That made the ubuntu install easier than I anticipated.

There were 3 partitions on the drive already. Therefore, I had only 1 partition left to add (under MBR rules). That meant I couldn't add a linux swap partition. Using a procedure I found in the https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq , I created a 9 GB swap file in my Linux partition.

So far, this PC is working very well. I recommend it to anyone shopping for a new, small case desktop for ubuntu.

Successful 32-bit Ubuntu Studio v14.04.3 LTS (long-term supported version, successful KXstudio repositories installed on top too):

Computer: HP ENVY 750-116; AMD ~3 GHz quad core; 12 GB RAM; ATI Radeon GPU
Monitor: HP W2082a; 20 inch LED; sVGA
Keyboard: Logitech K120 (Linux-compatible); USB
Mouse: Logitech M100 (Linux-compatible); USB

Audio Interface: Alesis M1Active 320 USB Monitors / Audio Interface; (USB Class Compliant; no drivers needed!)
MIDI Controller: Alesis Q25; 25-Key synth action MIDI keyboard; (USB Class Compliant; no drivers needed!)

Approximately how success was attained (not an exact history but close)...

1) Plugged in all the hardware, including my audio gear (so it would be recognized by default!) and did NOT use the wifi keyboard and mouse that came with the computer.
2) Powered on the computer and pressed ESC several times until the setup menu came up
3) Disabled Secure Boot in order to enable Legacy Mode in order to enable BIOS and hardware Boot Order Options; (several restarts required for settings to be implented via UEFI initital screen)
4) Enabled CD-ROM boot and booted up using the suggested key (I think it was F9 if I remember correctly) to select the CD-ROM instead of the SATA hard drive
5) Powered on using 32-bit Ubuntu Studio v14.04.3 LTS from DVD-R burned at 10x speed using K3B disc burner from an .ISO; chose the option to boot without installing; boot up successful!
6) Formatted/erased the hard drive using gParted from the System menu:

First partition: 4 GB SWAP area; enabled swapon
Second partition: 960 GB formatted as ext3; (extra space reserved/left for other future optional linux os installs)

7) Rebooted from DVD-ROM using the Try Ubuntu Studio Without Installing menu choice.
8) Clicked the Install Ubuntu Studio icon on the desktop to run the installation; chose to do "Something Else" instead of erasing the whole drive (default)
9) Performed the installation off-line without accessing the internet. This was to prevent a documented corrupt install bug.
10) Successfully rebooted into Ubuntu Studio with full hardware recognition and started configuring the sound mixer/volume controls; then continued configuring mouse and keyboard and all Ubuntu settings
11) Created folders and transferred my archived files from a previous installation from USB stick, starting with documentation files; installed the FireFox MAFF plugin so I could read my .MHT documentation
12) Entered my wifi log-in info and started updates and downloads and online installs. I disabled Pre-Releases and UnSupported Ubuntu Sources to maintain stability.
13) Continued configuration and setup and downloads and their configurations; updated the panels with launcher icons; set program associations for filetypes; edited my PulseAudio prefs to match my USB interface
14) Gradually implemented DAW performance optimizations such as ",noatime" in fstab (disable file access logging); disabled unneeded services
15) Installed current Wine and WineGecko following downloaded and internet documentation from WineHQ.com; re-downloaded updated WineGecko and moved it to the correct folder following WineHQ infos
16) Created a launcher for winecfg (Wine Configuration); (Wine stuff is located in "/opt" but it launches as normal; no need to remap launchers).
17) Configured Wine
18) Installed, tested, and configured Windows programs
19) Created panel launchers for Windows programs
20) Installed the KX Studio repositories following the instructions on the KX Studio website; installed a few more programs off the internet; Checked installation integrity for mistakes (none really!); kept everything upgraded; I did NOT install any KX Studio repositories for Lucid since this is Trusty Tahr! Removed the Lucid PPA entries from the Software Updater preferences.
21) Installed backed up FireFox addons from previous installation and upgraded them to newer versions; backed up FireFox configuration with FEBE addon and some addon prefs exports
22) Finished configuring FireFox addons and preferences; backed up FireFox configuration again with FEBE and some addon prefs exports
23) Continued restoring old Reaper and EnergyXT projects from backups; fixed some buggy Image-Line FL Studio plugin/registry issues; upgraded FL Studio plugins
24) Transferred my media library (FLACs, MP3s, and M4As) onto the hard drive via USB backup
25) Updated DeadBeef Portable with my media library folders and backed up DeadBeef

Started enjoying my setup!
Everything is running as expected; no incompatibilities or crashes.

The only thing that's a disappointment is FL Studio still doesn't run as well as I'd like.
I think the problem is that it can only use one CPU core; I don't think multicore support works for that.

But 32-bit Windows EnergyXT v3 beta sees all the CPU cores and runs fine.
And 32-bit Reaper v5.1 runs fine. I had restored my previous configuration from backups, and tweaked it to match the new monitor size.

Minor Issues: There's not much documentation about the HP ENVY 750-116 (made for OfficeDepot) on the HP website. You have to just look up ENVY 750 and find the closest info. There are other versions of that computer with different CPU manufacturer (Intel instead of AMD).

On first computer boot up, it showed a Windows 10 installation error from within Windows 10, it's default installed operating system.
This is not a problem if you have a boot CD-ROM or DVD-ROM with gParted on it. Just erase the entire hard drive and create a system partition with ext3 after you make your SWAP partition.
The other advantage of this is LVM will not be installed, and the SWAP partition won't be within an extended partition.

Because of the BIOS / UEFI steps described above, you can create an MBR partition table first, instead of a GPT one. BIOS / Legacy Mode requires an MS-DOS MBR (master boot record). gParted can do this.
The downside is that MBR can only create a maximum of 4 partitions, including the SWAP one. Just be aware of this and everything will be fine.

Considerations...

The install went pretty OK with me because I have intermediate Linux experience. I have installed Ubuntu Studio Linux in the past as well as other versions of Linux such as Puppy Linux, WattOS, and Lubuntu.
http://distrowatch.org and this site were very helpful. Also linuxaudio.org (?) or is it audiolinux.org (?) has some outdated but helpful info which is still valid on how to disable services on Ubuntu using .override files.

When I chose the computer, I specifically avoided any computers with nVidia video/graphics hardware since it can be incompatible. The HP ENVY model I have has an ATI Radeon video/graphics hardware and ATI hardware is usally well-supported on Linux distributions.

I also chose to disable Bluetooth since it can interfere with DAW computer performance. That's why I didn't use the provided wifi keyboard and mouse that came with the computer.
I haven't even tried to install them at all. I will probably sell them.

At first I thought my monitor colors were off, but it turned out that the colors are more precise and exact than my old laptop's colors. There is actually a wider range of colors on the new monitor, so I see colors I had never noticed before. In particular, neon greenish-yellow is noticeable now within anything yellow. Since not all digital cameras take accurate color photos, some of the older photos might look slightly wierd. But newer camera photos done on a good camera without any aesthetic color filterings look alright.

The monitor actually didn't require any configurations at all! All of it's defaults are just fine.

Summary: 2016 is looking like it will be a great year with this Ubuntu Studio DAW computer. Starting January 1st Iwill no longer have direct internet access; it will be run entirely offline, and everything is running good without internet access. So I am thankful that I got everthing installed, configured, and running. The backups helped a lot.

If you end up seeking this computer, you can get from BestBuy or OfficeMax or OfficeDepot.

PNY NVIDIA Quadro K1200 - ( VCQK1200DP-PB) Video Card working on Ubuntu 15.10 Wily Werewolf
This card did not work right out of the box, I had to install nvidia-352 to get it to work. I have 3 screens (2K) attached via display port dp. With Nvidia-352 drivers randomly screens would start blinking on and off. Maybe after an hour of uptime, every 5 seconds one would go totally blank for 1 second, and then come back. Over and over again. I upgraded the Nvidia driver to 358 and now everything works great for a few weeks now. I use compiz and lots of 3D graphics that work well now.

Kernel Linux 4.2.0-27-generic #32-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 22 04:49:08 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

dpkg -l | grep nvidia-358
ii nvidia-358 358.16-0ubuntu0~gpu15.10.2 amd64 NVIDIA binary driver - version 358.16

I had to install with alternate / minimal iso and after install before reboot select install openssh server. After reboot, I had to ssh in and install the drivers. There's a newer version 361 but I have not tested it because 358 is working perfectly for me.

Last week, I picked up an Inspiron 3655 (AMD processor & graphics) from Dell on sale for ~ $300, free shipping. It came with Windows 10, but that's now gone! I still have it set with secure-boot, running Ubuntu MATE 15.10; Its great! Very fast. Its superior to an older Dell 660 with corei5 running Windows 10, which I also have; I paid about $500 for that one two years ago, roughly.

The 3655 has 8 GB of memory and a 1 TB drive, DVD and all important connectors, free mouse, keyboard. Its a very good deal - I suggest it for anyone looking for a cheap Ubuntu desktop, perfect for the kid's dorm.

2) MINIPC 2.90 1.45 GHZ Atom x5-Z8300 Quad Core, Cherry Trail CR,
3) Sumvision
4) Cyclone Mini Micro Small Multi Media Desktop PC 2

Note, there seem to be several variants of these tiny PCs, using similar or the same motherboard. They are supplied with Win10 installed on the internal 32GB eMMC card. They have sufficient cooling, using static heatsinks, for Windows 10, which I assume uses some sort of CPU throttling to control temperature. They are INSUFFICIENTLY cooled for Ubuntu, in my experience, and overheating causes them to lock up. Maybe there is some CPU heat throttling option in Linux, but I'm not aware of it.

If like me, you really want this to work under Linux, have a great deal of time (I did one week), and don't mind adding a fan, you can end up with a very nice, tiny, cool running, power efficient quadcore desktop computer, running Linux, but before you do, do read my rather lengthy experience of this computer at:
http://digitalanswers.info/2016/07/02/the-desktop/

It now plays videos, will carry out some heavy word processing tasks, and run BOINC at the same time, often the proverbial straw that breaks the camels back, on computers that are prone to overheating and has run continuously, for several days so far, in hot weather.

The chipset is not well supported in Linux. I've had to add an external USB sound dongle: neither blue-tooth nor WiFi work so far either, but it does have USB3.

As more and more Chinese manufacturers are supplying these cheap desktop mini-PCs, I feel that exploring the deployment of Linux on them, is worth pursuing.

Hi there

Happy to report that the Acer Aspire R11 R3-131T full name R3-131T-C1VC model no N15W15 (http://www.fnac.com/PC-Ultra-Portable-Acer-Aspire-R3-131T-C1VC-11-6/a8942595/w-4)

is working just right with 16.10. No proprietary software needed, touchscreeen perfect, shortcut keys and rocker keys for volume works great.
Keyboard is disconnected when in presentation/tablet/tent mode, that's cool.

Bluetooth OK with phone, with JBL loudspeaker but not with cheap mouse.
WiFi OK first try, both 2.4 and 5Ghz

Shortcut keys to brightness unbearably slow, sluggish, to the point you better keep a shortcut to the setting in your sidebar.

Tent Mode doesn't rotate the screen. Some other, less used shortcut keys untested as of now, will update.

For my use, and this install, I just wiped the drive, put the bios boot in Legacy, and installed from USB in one go. Works for me.

I've found that with Linux can be a little finicky with the nVidia GPU cards. You'll need to set the Linux kernel parameter to "nomodeset" or you'll get a black screen when you boot. Also, the nVidia Geforce GTX 9xx series have problems with the nVidia Linux drivers, especially waking from suspend.

Gigabyte Brix Pro 5775 barebones kit.

Moved 16.04.03 to a Gigabyte Brix Pro 5775 (https://www.gigabyte.us/Mini-PcBarebone/GB-BXi7-5775-rev-10). As said in the reviews at Newegg (https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856164036), it makes a LOT of fan noise, but has been up now on this machine for about two weeks without a crash of any kind. ($249.99 US on Cyber Monday, paid for 3 day delivery, took 10 days) It has been rebooted due to kernel upgrade recently. Ran first time on a HD recovered from a laptop with a fried MB thanks to a cup of coffee. The original laptop had an Intel i7 with integrated gpu. Used the memory (Hynix PC3L) from the same HP laptop. Ran without making any changes on my part or difficulty with Linux or the Ubuntu distribution. It quit looking for the laptop's touchpad after the first reboot, which I did immediately after its first boot from the laptop HD (Toshiba 750 GB). Rebooted once since then, after the last kernel update.

I have a JBL Everest 700 Bluetooth headphone and I'm looking for a compatible Bluetooth adapter so I can listen from my PC. I am using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS. Can anyone recommend me a good one that works? :)

I recently went through the same search. I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 as well, and the Panda Bluetooth 4.0 USB Nano Adapter (https://amazon.com/gp/product/B00BCU4TZE/) (can I put an Amazon link in here?) worked out-of-the-box for me with my Bluetooth headset. I have it plugged in one of the front USB 3.0 ports on my desktop, and I get about the 30-foot range they advertise, though it cuts out a bit if I am that far away and there is a wall in between me and the transmitter. I've never had any issues with it being recognized, no need for any extra driver with 18.04, and no problem pairing with my headphones. The really nice thing about 18.04 is that when the headphones are connected, they are automagically selected as the output device. When I turn them off, Ubuntu goes back to my default sound output device.

No graphical issues, the GPU works great (to be expected, thanks AMD). Performs quite good in gaming, just need v-sync in Rocket League because the frame tearing makes the experience worse than it could be. The wifi card is working without any tweaking around. Though I didn't test HDA, only the motherboard audio ports.

I made these changes in In BIOS, but perhaps only Set IOMMU to Disabled is necessary
-Set PSS Support to Enable
-Set USB power delivery in SoftOff to Disable
-Set Serial Port to OFF
-In AMD CBS Set Global C-state control to enable
-In AMD CBS Set Power Supply Idle Control to Low Current Idle
-In AMD CBS Set IOMMU to Disabled
Add "iommu=soft" in the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" in /etc/default/grub
