So first off I should just state what I want to accomplish and perhaps someone will let me know if I'm looking in the right place.

Basically I want to have multiple keyboards attached to a single...

Can anyone post approximately how long the battery lasts even with the ACPI/brightness issues mentioned above?

I noticed on Planet Ubuntu that the kernel team has applied a patch to kernels...

Sadly I have to report that upon booting the maverick iso I get a blank screen. I get the boot splash for a little bit then the monitor seems to just shut off. Unfortunately that doesn't leave me...

Hi borsato.luca,

Great to see some interest in this laptop. Overall I like this laptop a lot but it does have some sort comings on Linux. The biggest right now is the battery life which is...

I have an interesting issue with the battery charge state. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue.

After charging the battery fully and unplugging it to use, Ubuntu continues to state that...

You can check out this thread here on the progress from a few of us on using the hp dm4t. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1517749&highlight=dm4t

Overall a very nice laptop and most...

I know you aren't a developer and I am just a hopeful college student. But this page documents the progress of the fingerprint reader in this line of laptops....

Hey I just got mine today. Don't take this the wrong way but you did notice that the lower corners of the trackpad "click" and depress. Running Lucid on my machine the buttons work, albeit it seems...

Well since you were able to compile the program and make the .class file you already have java which lets you run the file. I will presume you know how to run the file from the terminal which is just...

I did some browsing and it seems the above patch was applied to the synaptics driver for the next version of Ubuntu, maverick.

So if you're game, go ahead and install one of these two files, first...

I will try to make this driver for you. Mine is coming Friday hopefully :)

I presume you are running 10.04 but I need to know if you have 32 or 64 bit installed. If you don't know you can run the...

Hey, I just ordered one as well almost as impulse since the specs on this laptop looked so nice. Although now I am seeing several issues but I'm game for working on them once I get mine.

Anyways...

Well now it's working. I can feel the air coming out the side vent so somehow the fan has started working again after sitting in my room collecting dust . . . This is all really weird. I'll see how...

I do not believe it is the battery as the issue still occurs without the battery attached (and the power plug attached). I purchased this about this time last year, so my warranty is probably coming...

Well unfortunately it is still turning off after both of your suggestions. Seems like the next logical thing is that the internal fan isn't working. I am having a hard time telling though since the...

I have hit a strange issue which I have no idea how to deal with. In short as the title says, my starling shuts off after 30 seconds.

So yesterday I was using it and I suspended it, forgot about...

Tart: You see that message about the GPIO polling turning the radio off. Move the switch in the front right once to the right and let it go. Look at the messages again, and it should say GPIO polling...

Yes, I can confirm that the missing gcc dependency was the issue. Running System76-Driver again built the driver and now wireless works great. This is rather a major issue though since all fresh...

Haha, yes I did run restore from the program. After running it in the terminal I noticed that it failed to compile the module. Guess why? No, gcc.

Perhaps gcc should be installed from the repos...

Sadly I have to report that wireless is not working on my starling. I just did a fresh install as I was running 9.04. At first I had a wireless network listing but the connection was too weak to...

Well basically it's saying it can't find the 'nv' driver. I see you get a command line so let's try something simple before doing too much else. Type the following command in, it will rename the...

Yup, all it does is run the tasksel program. Here's the wiki page on all the options it has.

Assuming sudo still works fine for you.


sudo rm ./.sudoers.tmp.sw*

If sudo is messed up so you can't run that, try switching to root.


su root

I am rather confused by your install. Karmic shipped with Evolution as default, not Thunderbird. Are you saying that when you upgraded, Evolution was removed and Thunderbird installed?

As for the...
