How to ASUS K50IJ - Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty

[mutrax]

Running lucid since the beta.. no issues whatsoever now you mention it... Well some software related glitches that got ironed out in the final release.

Running Lucid on mine as well. I installed a slightly older Atheros wifi card before installing, I keep a couple extra that I know work flawlessly in Linux.

I am having the speaker problem though. When I plug in my headphones, the speakers still play

im really wanting to try Lucid, but am a little timid. has anyone else run into issues yet? aside from the headphones not working?

maybe there arent enough of us asus k50ij people out there

It's been really good for me so far. Installation was super smooth. Haven't tried headphones, but an annoying sound issue I had with Firefox seems to have cleared up. One of my favorite things about Ubuntu is things generally get better with each release.

With Lucid my screen keeps flickering a little bit.
Everything else works out of the box.

I have the "BestBuy" version of this laptop, and everything works fine except when I plug in headphones, the sound still comes out of the speakers in the laptop too; the speakers don't mute when headphones are plugged in.

any suggestions?

btw im using Ubuntu 10.04

I'm having the same issue's with the screen bugging out and the sound playing through the headphones and the main speakers in 10.4 on my k5oij, i've been searching for fix's but none of them appear to pertain to this model or version. If anyone has a link to a relevant thread i would be most pleased.

You need to give permission to that file to be executable.

man chmod
