Laptop COMPATIBILITY List.

[Nutria]

1. Lubuntu 11.10
2. Sharp
3. AV-18

Neither Lubuntu or Xbuntu 12.04 successfully install onto this ancient machine, but Lubuntu 11.10 and earlier versions do. Subsequent dist upgrade to most current l1.10 packages then to 12.04 works fine.

[Nutria]

1. Xbuntu 12.04
2. Asus
3. X101-EU17-BK

Everything seems to work perfectly. Lubuntu 12.04 failed during install.

[phaedrix]

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64 bit
Lenovo
T400 C2D 2.4 GHz

8GB DDR3
SanDisk Extreme SSD
Advanced Dock

Everything works and is very fast.

Minor issues:
The screen brightness control skips a few increments.
Could not access ******* network with default smb.conf (unlike 11.10)

Not sure anyone is interested in a little netbook but...

HP Mini 210-4000
2 GB RAM
Intel® Atom™ CPU N2800 @ 1.86GHz × 4
VESA: Intel®XX Graphics
497.4 GB

I love this little thing - everything works, right out of the box with Ubuntu 12.04 - Skype, wireless, camera, video... no glitches at all, and it's quite fast -- definitely much faster than the Windows it shipped with... so sorry I paid for it.

1)Version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 11.10 / Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
2)Laptop Maker: HP
3)Laptop Model: Pavilion DV7
Installs and runs smoothly.
Not Working:
-Fingerprint Sensor
-Touchpad works fine, but for some reason the right-click button doesn't work. User should tap the touchpad using two fingers in order to perform a "right-click".

1)Version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 11.10 / Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
2)Laptop Maker: HP
3)Laptop Model: Mini 10.1'
Installs and runs smoothly. Wifi doesn't work directly after install, the system asks the user to download the proprietary driver. User should connect to the internet though an ethernet cable, download the driver, and then enjoy an amazing Ubuntu experience!

1)Version of Ubuntu: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
2)Laptop Maker: HP
3)Laptop Model: HDX 16 1140-US

Installs fine, would run smoother if I were not using a full install on a 32 GB USB pen drive. Haven't tried my video card with the proprietary drivers yet but with Nouveau it works fine so long as you choose Ubnutu2D at login. Don't use Ubuntu when logging in or else the computer will freeze over time. I'm not sure why that happens.

What's not working:

a) Fingerprint Sensor
- haven't found any Linux drivers for it yet; not sure if there's a way to use the Windows drivers for it and I don't know if Ubuntu has fingerprint reader support to begin with

What somewhat works

a) LED Panel
- most of the buttons are recognized with the exception of the CD Drive Open, Bass/Treble, MediaSmart, and player control buttons; I could never get any of those to work right in Windows 7 UE 64-bit and the B/T buttons were always unreliable from the day I first got this computer
- The Wireless button LED flashes between blue and orange; in Windows, orange means that the card is off and blue means the card is on

b) Touchpad
- works normally, but I can't use the more advanced features of it because there doesn't seem to be software to let it do that (ex. Click Zones) the way that it can in Windows

c) Sound Card
- works fine except that when I shut down or restart there's a weird boom noise before it turns off

[Uncle Spellbinder]

Ubuntu Version: 12.04 (LTS)

[Lingadharini]

Ubuntu 10.04(lucid lynx) works good on Hp compaq presario CQ40 425TU but the display gets some problems when trying to use compiz.

[Yano1969]

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Sony
VAIO VPCEB4S1E

Everything works perfectly out of the box, but it is necessary to install AMD graphics driver ( jockey flgrx is OK !!! ) and Jupiter to control power management.
