    What I did:

    /etc/default/grub at the end of the options line (where it says quiet splash) or something to that effect, I added intel_idle.max_cstate=0

    then run update-grub as root.
    for some reason i couldnt mount the partitions with a live cd to fix it..anyways the final release is out is the fix for the problem already there?

    I'm downloading it as we speak .. er type.
    Here is what the release notes say:
    Lenovo S10-3 systems don't boot. Temporary workaround: add "intel_idle.max_cstate=0" as a kernel paremeter at boot (634702). A fix already exists that will be available only at release time (647071).
    So? Someone made as error somewhere.

    what does this mean? isnt release time the final version?? i installed it and am trying to do this that i read inhttps://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...2?comments=all but its not working. they say
    After install successfully, the first rebooting, press "left shift" after BIOS and enter grub prompt.

    Press "e" edit boot parameter, append intel_idle.max_cstate=0 after splash, and press "ctrl-x" to boot.
    but its not working for some reason after i append intel_idle.max_cstate=0 i press CTRL-X and is goes back to initramfs. when i reboot its not there anymore.. for some reason its not saving the intel_idle.max_cstate=0.. what else should i do?

    Well, release time should mean the final release, but I can tell you that the problem still exists in the final. Once you've done the above steps does it let you boot in once at least? Here it is from the top:

    1 - When booting, hold left shift to access the grub menu. (If you have a dual-boot setup, then the menu might show up automatically)

    2 - Highlight the ubuntu entry and press e to edit the options.

    3 - Add 'intel_idle.max_cstate=0' after the words 'quiet splash'

    4 - Hit ctrl-x to boot the computer.

    5 - Once you've booted into ubuntu, press alt-F2 to open a run dialog and enter
    Code:
    gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
    6 - look for the line that reads
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
    this should be the 9th line. Modify it to read:
    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_idle.max_cstate=0"
    7 - Save the file and exit.

    8 - Open a terminal and type the following:
    Code:
    sudo update-grub
    This is all the steps. Now everytime you boot the computer, this option will be active.

    Does anyone else get random freezes (a.k.a. a complete crash, no response) when using the cstate=0 fix? I have SATA set to "Compatability" as well.

    I can't figure out how to tell what's going wrong when the crashes happen, but everything, cursor and all, just freezes every once in a while. Leaving my netbook on for a period of time (for example, on and plugged in while I was at work for four hours) tends to result in a frozen system when I return.

    It seems all of the "fixes" have side effects of some sort, be it worthless battery life or something else. I realize I could just go back to Lucid, but it would be a shame because everything else that's been problematic on this netbook (sound and bluetooth) now work without a hitch.

    Re: Setup Guide:- Toshiba Dynabook UX/ NB200 / NB205

    G'day Everyone,

    I have 10.04 UNE running on my NB200 which works fantastic & just thought I'd share some install notes I've made which I've got from various sources (such as here) & put it all together which may help someone.
    Anyway here it goes.

    # Make sure the BIOS is update to date (Version 2.10 currently) as there were some issues earlier on which I had done via Windows.

    # Install Ubuntu & once installed & running do updates & installing Ubuntu extras from the software centre for MP3, flash etc support.

    Now for fixes

    # No bootup splash screen

    Open the terminal.
    echo FRAMEBUFFER=y | sudo tee /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
    sudo update-initramfs -u


    # How to get the sound working

    Open the terminal.
    sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

    Then add the follow line (below) at the bottom of the file then save & close.

    options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=auto

    Then reboot.

    # How to get bluetooth working

    Open the terminal.

    For the bluetooth icon appear in your system tray.
    sudo modprobe omnibook ectype=12

    Now make it run upon booting your netbook
    sudo nano /etc/modules
    Add the line below and save the file. (Note to save press ctrl o, press the enter key then ctrl x).
    omnibook

    sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/omnibook.conf
    Add this line.
    options omnibook ectype=12

    Save the file (Using the above method). Now when you reboot, the bluetooth icon should show that it is running.

    If you wish bluetooth icon to appear after sleep / hibernate mode then follow below.
    sudo nano /etc/pm/power.d/89bluetooth
    Then add the lines below
    #!/bin/bash
    rmmod -f omnibook
    modprobe omnibook ectype=12


    Save the file (Using the above method).
    To change the permissions so the file can run, type the command below.
    sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/power.d/89bluetooth

    Now after sleep and resume, you should see the bluetooth icon reload in the system tray.

    # Better volume control

    Open the terminal.
    sudo gedit /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths/analog-output.conf.common

    Locate section that looks like below

    [Element PCM]
    switch = mute
    volume = merge
    override-map.1 = all
    override-map.2 = all-left,all-right


    Add two sections to look like this

    [Element Master]
    switch = mute
    volume = ignore

    [Element Headphone]
    switch = mute
    volume = merge

    [Element PCM]
    switch = mute
    volume = merge
    override-map.1 = all
    override-map.2 = all-left,all-right


    Then reboot.


    Hope this helps .
    Cheers.

    P.S. Haven't tried Maverick UNE with Unity as 10.04 UNE works fine & still early days for Unity.

    muffinman, your guide rocks.... but you didn't mention anything about the HUGE stuck problem that every Toshiba NB200 owner has. I gave a try to your solution but no luck for me. Sound not working and whenever you leave the mouse alone, even the system time stack...

    Re: Setup Guide:- Toshiba Dynabook UX/ NB200 / NB205

    A few people have had issues getting their Toshiba's to work on Maverick. Here's the trick I used:
    From a fresh install of Maverick......

    1. Hop into bios and change AHCI to "compatibility" - that gives you a (subjective) 400% increase on disk speed
    2. If you get stuck at the busybox menu when booting, follow this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1592331 (note you'll have to hold down left-shift after you control-x until you see the disk moving)

    Notes:

    • sound, bluetooth, etc, all work
    • I recommend you that you DO NOT encrypt your home disk. (it works but it's slow and disk IO is not very fast on the Tosh)

    Using a lucid kernel w/ muffinman's guide on maverick works fantastic...
