Setup Guide:- Toshiba Dynabook UX/ NB200 / NB205

[harty83]

We've been discussing similar things here. You can get basic sound working via OSS but as pointed out, the speakers suck by nature so don't expect much when you get it working

I couldn't get hibernate working out of the box for the nb205 and had to use s2disk which works beautifully (and much quicker) than the standard.

I would love for someone to figure out how to get bluetooth working!!

Thanks,
Alan

do you mind if I add the hibernate tip to my list ? I kinda want it to be a one-stop setup thread.

Please do! You are welcome to put the OSS work around as well if you want.

Thanks,

Heads up: Wifi still not working using Linux Mint 7 (based on Ubuntu 9.04). I've completely updated the system and installed the backports AND installed WiCD. At no step has wireless worked. Period. Granted, that's with Mint 7. Since I've got XP working fine on mine, I'll go ahead and try your setup guide using straight Ubuntu.

Hello all,

A bit back I was working on documentation for setting up the NB205 with UNR. I started a (rather plain) wiki page on the Ubuntu documentation wiki directory:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupp...s/ToshibaNB205

It is fairly sparse at the moment, and I would love to see more edits made to it as time is a little lacking on my part. I personally have not tested hibernate, bluetooth, full speaker support, and etc.

I hope that the visibility of the wiki will make the information even easier to access for those in need, and it is in fairly good need of more edits from those who have tried the tweaks I have not.

Happy computing,

Just as a fyi for jaunty, uswsusp installs s2disk, etc in /usr/sbin rather than /sbin.

Thanks,
Alan

Thanks for these fantastic instructions! Worked perfectly for me. I have two remaining issues, and hope someone can help me. I suspect the issue is related to the NB200, but if it needs to be moved into a different thread, I'd kindly ask one of the admins to do so.

* Skype Audio: I can't get skype audio to work. Unfortunately most of my colleagues use skype extensively, and this is a crucial feature for me. In Options -> Sound Devices, I can see my headset is recognised. It lets me choose:

Sennheiser USB Headset (hw:Headset,0)
... or
Sennheiser USB Headset (plughw:Headset,0)

as Sound In, Sound Out, or Other Sound device, but I can't hear anything on the headphones. I did test general audio with the headset before - and can listen to audio.

I am not sure what information to post here in order to make it easier for others to troubleshoot, so please let me know how to find the information you would need to help.

* Less important: Video playback of youtube videos in Firefox is still very very choppy. If I download the files, I can play them at good quality using the standard Totem Movie Player 2.26.1 (Movie Player using GStreamer 0.10.22)

Thanks for any ideas, pointers, comments!
