Logitech Bluetooth Desktop MX5000 (combination keyboard&mouse) is partially incompatible.
It will work in legacy HID mode, but then all other bluetooth functionality (pairing with bluetooth phone) is disabled.
You can get the dongle in HCI mode, but then the keyboard and mouse stop working.
It is impossible to use keyboard&mouse and at the same time use any other bluetooth devices.

ENE CB-712/4 (rev 10) 5-in-1 card reader
None of the cards I have tried show up nor do i see any system events when they are inserted.

Wireless Card
In Dapper showed up as Broadcom 4319
In Edgy shows up as Broadcom Corporation Dell Wireless 1470 Dual Band WLAN (even thought my laptop is from Lenovo and does not use Dell parts)
It kind of works using the BCM43xx drivers with the wl_apsta.o firmware package however it will ocasionally cause X to lock up solid and I often have to disconnect and reconnect to networks because it will randomly stop communicating.

Motherboard Asus Commando, 0803 BIOS with SATA (AHCI) enabled.

Live CD boots into GUI from IDE CD-drive but further installation is not possible because no HDs are detected. I suspect this has something to do with lacking ICH8R support in kernel.

Completely new to Linux and (K)ubuntu.
On my laptop IBM T40, I have been able to run the LiveCD 7.04 - though it felt very slow.
But when installing, the boot would always hang before getting to the login screen using 7.04

The Diamond GL 1 AGP video card does not work. The 6.06 LTS Live CD will not boot with the card present. This is an older (circa 1999) video card so maybe not a issue for anyone else. (BTW, I plugged in another AGP video card and install completed -- no problems.)

Also, the Xsane Scanner support does not include the Nikon Coolscan V ED (aka 50 ED).

Same here with a 8500 GT. There is a workaround, installing the beta drivers from NVIDIA site and then starting in recovery mode. Changing driver in xorg.conf to nv, startx and the exit it again, change xorg.conf back to nvidia and start gdm.

But I'll wait until it hits the repos and use my onboard till then.

Tried the following CDs:

xubuntu 7.04 desktop, xubuntu 7.04 alternate:
The boot screen shows as expected. After starting the install (both standard install and safe graphics mode) it appears to initiate the install process (some green text and some dots at top edge of the screen) then screens turns black with a blinking dash in top left corner and nothing happens.

ubnutu 7.04 desktop:
The boot screen shows as expected. After starting the install (both standard install and safe graphics mode) it appears to initiate the install process (as above) then (with the menu still visible) it stops reporting in green text at top of screen "invalid or corrupt kernel image". When selecting one of the menus it reports "Could not find kernel image".

ubuntu 7.04 alternate
The boot screen shows as expected. After starting the installation the screen blinks a few times and it reboots (returning to the boot screen).

Installed Xubuntu 6.10 without a hitch, then upgraded to xubuntu 7.04 with kernel 2.6.20-16, which resulted in the laptop constantly rebooting (without any user interaction).

So the conclusion is that this laptop does not work with feisty!

Using Fiesty Fawn and Dell printer model 725. Can't detect printer or driver.

I can not get my Epson Stylus C59 printer to work correctly. I am using the driver for the C50 printer, it works perfect for black but other colors are offset and simply do not display correctly. This is a VERY popular printer in most of the third world, millions have been sold, the same target market as Ubuntu, so it would be very important to get this driver working for everyone, I think that only slight modifications from the C50 driver would be needed to get this working. I tried at it for 2 hours but I have no clue what I am doing so it did not get better.

Sound card (shows up as HDA ATI SB) not detected; solved by adding file /etc/modprobe.d/sound with the following contents (requires reboot):

alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0 probe_mask=3 position_fix=3

ENE Technology Inc ENE PCI Memory Stick Card Reader Controller: This doesn't work and I don't know how to fix it. It seems like it might be bound to /dev/hda; however, even when a card is inserted, the sudo mount command indicates that no mountable media is present.

WiFi chipset (shows up as Atheros Unknown device 001c (rev 01) -- shows up as a 5007EG in Windows) not detected; solved by adding blacklist ath_pci to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist (requires restart) and compiling new ndiswrapper (1.47) for use with appropriate Win XP drivers (net5211.inf, ar5211.sys). The card is unsupported by the ath_pci module set.

Installation from Alternate CD hangs if the card is in. If I take the card out, installation succeeds and the OS starts up as expected, but then hangs the moment I put the card in again.

Note: the Ubuntu wiki lists this card as supported. It also works on Windows XP professional on the same computer.

When attempting to run the graphical installer, I get:

And then it drops to a BusyBox shell. Two other people in this thread have had this same problem, albeit with laptops. Any ideas on how to fix it?

EDIT:
I've isolated what was causing my problem, and serenityUK on the Freenode Ubuntu channel provided me with a work-around. By looking at /casper.log I was able to determine that the installer simply couldn't see the Live FileSystem on the CD, because the IDE-based CD/DVD drive wasn't detected by the OS, even though the SATA hard drive was. serenityUK told me about the boot option "generic.all_generic_ide=1", which I applied to the "Safe Graphics" boot option to get things rolling.

it will then start, but X does not seem to recognize my touchpad. It works fine in feisty, but i can't get a mouse to work in gusty unless I actually attach a ps2 mouse..

chipset: intel i815

7.10 installed using acpi=off in the safe grafics installation.
The live session loaded, but not withthe correct screen size.
It made a little "box" in the center of the display that was the "screen" while the rest of it was black.
it still displayed, though it did not resize the install windows, and hid the buttons on the bottom of the install menus so that I had to use keyboard navigation blindly in order to install it.
Upon reboot, the display was black, exactly like the 7.04 problem.
Using the grub menu to boot in safe settings, I could see the initial loading text, and then:
black! in flickered once or twice before this and then Black.

There is a bug reported on this matter.

* Issue
My Monitor is not supported, i can's see him in the monitor list, can't put refresh rate higher than 85 hz (i need 100hz,and yes in windows all works perfect) That's the only reason i don't use ubuntu for the moment. tried everything.

[loquela]

I'm having problems trying to run v7.10 on a couple of configurations:

1. IBM Thinkpad R30 laptop

getting a string of errors on boot like [618.124000] Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0 then presented with BusyBox v1.1.3 shell

2. ACPI x86 based PC with
RADION XPRESS 200 Series graphics

Get the loading screen but eventually screen just goes blank and seems to disconnect

Could someone please point me in the right direction to learn how to get linux installed on these (old) machines?

Many thanks

Hi everyone!

I've been using Ubuntu for some time now and have been really happy with it! But I can't install Gutsy. Every variant of the 7.10 Ubuntu I can't install it.

ACPI: DMI BIOS year==0, assuming ACPI-capable machine

This is the error displayed, and after that the Live CD won't do anything. It looks like it's loading but after some time, it starts to display some errors. I have tried with:
Ubuntu 7.10
Xubuntu 7.10
Fluxbuntu 7.10
gOS (based on Ubuntu 7.10)

I have once attempted to do a roundabout of this by upgrading to 7.10 with the Internet updates, but the result is the same. The installer was successful, but I wouldn't start Ubuntu.
However, If in the GRUB boot options I'd choose the earlier version of Ubuntu (Feisty) then it would start normally with no problems.

On Edgy, and Feisty I have never encountered any problems of this sort. Can anyone help me with this?

I have already disabled ACPI in the BIOS but it made no difference.

-Lenovo Thinkpad T60 running 7.10 with all current updates as of this post.
(Intel Core 2 Duo 2GHz, 2GB RAM, ATI X1400 graphics, etc)
- Installed ATI's restricted driver for Compiz-Fusion (this could be the issue)

Issue #1
Will not come out of Standby. Just get a black screen with a curser blinking

Issue #2
Will not come out of Hibernate. Same thing.

Issue #3
Cannot dim/brighten the screen with the hardware keyboard controls. It doesn't work when its plugged in OR when its unplugged. This even worked in Feisty.

Issue #4
Cannot use the middle mouse button to scroll through documents (such as Firefox)
This is resolved by adding the following two lines to xorg.conf under "Section InputDevice":
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

EDIT: I reverted back to the non-ati drivers and it fixed issue #1 and #2 but not #3.

[Blake Morgan]

I am in the process of building an HTPC, and was attempting to use the LinuxMCE, which is based on Kubuntu 7.4. The core of this system is an Asus M2A-VM HDMI motherboard with an AMD Athlon X2 4400+ 64bit CPU and 2 gig DDR2 RAM. All of the Ubuntu variants listed below are referring to AMD 64bit CPU compatible versions.

The initial attempt to load the LinuxMCE distribution got hung on the point where live CD gets to "loading/booting/something at /etc/rc.local and the system just hangs. I also tried Mythbuntu with the same result and Ubuntu 7.10, straight (no weird MCE stuff); same problem. I also tried loading several other OSs such as Fedora 8, DSL-Linux, and straight up Debian Sarge. Nothing would install from any of those either.

The shipped BIOS version was 0502, and I flashed the latest BIOS, 1603, and repeated the same sequence of operating systems as above. None of the Ubuntu variants would take, and all of them hung at the same spot: loading /etc/rc.local. I did eventually get Fedora Core 8 installed without a single hiccup.

I have installed all of these OS (barring the MCEs) at one time and currently run most of them on various machines in my house, including an openMosix based cluster in my basement (recodes mps to flac like and renders vid like crazy). I have never had this much trouble installing an operating system on a piece of hardware EVER. It is doubly sad, because of all these systems, I enjoy using the Gutsy Gibbon machine over all the rest. Run away from this board as if a horde of pirates was at your stern. (It does run Fedora 8 hella fast though, but the frustration is not worth it.)

Atheros Wireless AR5212/AR5213 cannot connect to any secured network, even with restricted driver. Also, randomly connects/disconnects unless roaming mode is enabled. Only solution is unsecured wifi.
Also, unit randomly disconnects from AC adapter when it gets warm, screen flashes, and it says it is now on battery, but this isn't a problem with the jack. Seems as though unit doesn't like my lap. Only fix is to unplug, then plug back in. Does it even when lid is closed and no open proceses.

But it did fix my usb controller problem windows kept harping on about. Bonus there I suppose.

The culprit here is the Atheros 5416 Chipset (Atheros 5008 Series). The windows drivers can't be used with ndiswrapper, they cause a kernel crash. the madwifi project is working in a solution to this but there is not a stable driver yet. Here's a previous post about Atheros 5008 series chipsets.

Propriatory drivers installer pops up but does not actually install nv or nvidia correctly as still runs in low gfx mode with no fancy features. Did reinstall and tried envy ... does not solve video issue. No problems with lan or drive access. Have not tested USB yet so may or may not work. Seems newer drivers needed from nvidia for nforce aspect. In hardware many many bits show up as unspoorted/unknown. System however does run and updates as per normal, not usuable as main system until sound, video resolved

*Edit*: Suspend doesn't work, either. This is very important to me because I use sleep on Vista A LOT and with ubuntu it just blacks the screen, the lights flash, and then nothing happens. To get it open again, I have to reset the entire system. I might as well shut it down!

These problems are EXTREMELY important to me because I use all of these things VERY OFTEN on my Vista partition and I was hoping to do the same with ubuntu, along with ubuntu's other benefits.


Idk if this is supposed to happen, but ubuntu takes up to a full minute to start up, and this is a pretty nice laptop. Ubuntu should be up and running in 30 seconds or less! I think macs can do that, Ubuntu should be the magic that allows this to happen on almost any hardware

Also, this laptop is less than a year old. When can I expect my laptop hardware to be fully supported?

ATI mobility radeon HD2400: Installed it using the info in this post http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide#Installation . At first seemed to work, (using the manual procedure), it even had some funny visual effects, openGL did not worked right however (openGL using applications appear all broken and pixeled). After some reboots the cool visual effects were gone altogether, was not able to get them back even though I reinstalled the drivers.

Chicony webcam: did not work.

No microphone.

Sound seems to work right.

Resuming, some important aspects of the ubuntu gutsy installation (wifi and video acceleration) on this machine seem to degrade over time, even if at first they seem to work right, I have double boot with vista, but I don't know if this is supposed to affect the ubuntu installation,

Intel has this nice little "Via killer" Mini-ITX board, called D201GLY2. I installed 8.04 beta, but the graphics adapter is not really cooperating. In its initial resolution (1200*900 or something, I could not make it out) the display was cut up in narrow vertical stripes. Mouse pointer OK. Setting it to 1024*768 solved that but anything higher is marred by static (fine patterning and stripes) across the display. Of course Intel does not provide any Linux drivers and there seem to be no "restricted" drivers. Maybe the chipset is just too new. I'll play with it a bit more, I was able to get a nice image with Knoppix 5.0.1 and I'm sure Billy Gatez' Quality Product will install just fine. Performance as such of this board seems pretty decent, certainly the 1.2 GHz Celeron CPU (passive cooling!) is much faster than my Via Epia C3 at 800 MHz.

Edit: This thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=463077) provides a solution. Have yet to try it, but it looks promising.

Widescreen mode is not supported.
2. When i set the highest resoulution mode i.e. 1440x900 screen shrinks to half of the width . and in ubuntu "screens and resoultion" dialog box shows 1440x900 is set @56hz.
3.Working Resoultion modes 1280x1024 @ 60hz 1024x768 @75hz.
3. Even lower widescreen modes are not set.

And BTW hard ware if fine as all the available modes work fine with WinXp

Thanks. please reply.

My hardware is: (old) IBM Thinkpad Laptop model 380Z
Xubuntu version 7.10 (or also with Beta 8.04)

The problems are:
--> No sound other than speaker 'beep'. The sound chip is on the EISA bus; haven't been able to successfully recognize the chipset using the normal sound configuration tools.
--> This laptop does not have a built-in Ethernet interface but the infrared port is (erroneously?) bound to an Ethernet device 'irda0'
--> During initial installation process, the USB to Ethernet adapter (with ASIX chipset) is not found at all. However, the correct linux driver seems to be assigned to the ASIX chipset and the Ethernet 'link' LED is on. (I've tried automatic configuration with Network GUI, manual configuration and both static and dynamic IP schemes.)
--> I have not been able to get any Ethernet functionality to work at all. Exact same setup _does_ work with MS Windows 95 and MS Windows ME OS.

I got the same problem some time ago. It can be fixed by changing the refresh rate.

I had this:
1280x800 @ 59Hz - The real resolution was 1024x768, shrinked (like yours)
then I changed to:
1280x800 @ 60Hz - Perfect!

I still don't understand why it happens, but it works that way..

Graphics Card
manufacturer: Intel
Model: Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 (CGC) chipset controller (rev 03)

Issue: I am Currently running Ubuntu 7.10 Gusty with a screen resolution of 800X600, my original install of Edgy worked with many other resolutions to make my desktop screen larger and give me more room to see my windows and work.

I am requesting support for my graphics card or any drivers that i may require that could possibly be provided. if not by the newest release, then by individual files.

with 800X600 i simply cannot operate as efficiently as i would otherwise. So far i have found nothing on this particular hardware issue. Hopefully the new release of Hardy will correct this issue. if not however, i still need it resolved.
*EDIT: i found the issue, its my Compaq MV540 monitor that does not work well with 7.10 nor 8.04 (my graphics card sucks) but i need a fix for this.

Acer Aspire 5002WLMi laptop running Hardy 8.04

Only current major problem: internal Broadcom wireless adapter does work with current b43 driver in 2.6.24-16-Generic kernel. HOWEVER the current b43 driver is like the previous bcm43xx driver n which it generates ton's of APIC errors (about 1 every 2 seconds approximately). This over time bogs down the system and eventually causes a hard crash regardless of system load.

The wireless does work 100% flawlessly with the old 2.6.22-14-Generic Kernel and ndiswrapper in Hardy (temp work around I'm using for the time being). While ndiswrapper does load under 2.6.16-Generic Kernel, ndiswrapper will not load the actual ******* Broadcom driver (debugging).


Oddities: Touchpad also stopped working after upgrade to Hardy, but suddenly started working perfectly after running *******. USB used to stall during transfers with Kodak cameras unless a self powered hub was used (Drapper, Fiesty & Gusty) - no longer the case with Hardy. Everything else (from ACPI hibernate/sleep modes right down to the internal data/fax modem) works 100% flawlessly (SiS video adapter drivers needed to be tweaked slightly).

On Feisty Fawn:
ALC662 - microphone remains silent, as yet no solution found.
I've tried compiling ALSA 1.0.16rc2 (including lib and utils (rc1 here, though)) myself but this only made it worse (read "no sound").

On Hardy Heron:
I was very happy when I tried the 8.04 (Hardy Heron) LiveCD and heard myself tapping the microphone .. now that I've had it installed for a couple of weeks and have been experimenting some more I'm sad to say : it still doesn't really work.
The ASRock/ALiveNF6 motherboard comes with 2 seperate jacks - front & back - for speakers and microphone ... I /can/ hear input coming through when jacked into either and having set the sound-settings appropriately.
But the quality is terrible and if I just try to use the audio-recorder to check capturing it only captures silence - yes, I've set the input to "Mic" (or "Mic Front") and have the channels un-muted and at full amp.
I've also tried running mumble (actually I did this first) .. but nobody could hear me ... it seems the microphone is still not configured properly :-/
Maybe some ~/.asoundrc stuff could help .. but sound-under-linux has never been easy for me to get to work .. and scourging the ALSA-site (http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel) didn't really help at all.

BusLogic Flashpoint SCSI adapters on 64-bit platforms

The BusLogic module loads but then fails to do anything because Flashpoint support is not enabled. (This CANNOT be rectified with a custom kernel as the code is not 64-bit clean -- and is unmaintained).

The same probably applies to big-endian platforms.

The card works just fine on 32-bit X86 architectures.

ATI proprietary driver implements 3D through mesa causing slow fps ~500-900. When using xserver-xgl to enable compiz fps slows to 90-150 making use impossible. Xv also has low fps. Xorg.0.log claims 2D acceleration is enabled but that is difficult to believe.

No 3D from any available driver.

Any Broadcom wireless (not supported by Vendor at all)

Any HP laptop based on AMD + NVidia + Broadcom wireless
(has glitchy ACPI, will not boot Ubuntu right out the box, needs some work around)

Guys, don't buy any hardware from Vendors who officially do not support Open Source.

The only that doesen't work on my laptop is:
Atheros AR5007EG Wireless Network Adapter
I cannot get it working on my ubuntu 8.04 os But i can get it working on my vista home premium os (i used wubi)

My laptop is a acer Aspire 5715-4740

Get Intel Wireless Card for $30 and replace it (it worked for me :) )
