everything worked well on 11.10, but the only problems I've had thus far is the following:

• Headphone jack - but was RESOLVED more info link
• nVidia Optimus video card switching - only thing I'm struggling with, I've tried many things but haven't got it to work. more info link

everything else is flawless, 11.10 run so well on this laptop its amazing. I'm really using the power by using all 4 desktops, and in the one desktop I've got a VM running another OS.

Works wonderfully, including the ability to get 7+ hours on the battery. Note: I am NOT using switchable graphics, it's just too quirky. Full details here.

1) 11.10
2) Dell
3) Inspiron 17r (N7010)

After a week from installing, no problems as of yet. Even the ATI 5400 works good with the 11.8 driver. I just connected my HP Photosmart D610 wireless printer and it works great with the HPLIP program.

1. 10.04 (Lucid)
2. Dell
3. Latitude E6410

needed boot parameter acpi=off

1. 10.10
2. Apple
3. IBook G4

Pretty awesome. Installed nice. Ubuntu fixed the "loud hard-drive" of this machine. Now I need to get the wifi working and customize.

Thanks Ubuntu! I'm trying to learn enough to help.

1. 11.10 Oneiric (64 bit)
2. Dell
3. Alienware M17x R3 w/NVidia 3d bundle
4. 1TB SATA RAID0 from factory w/Windows 7 64bit

Factory installed with SATA RAID0
had to use the Alternate CD install, Live CD fails.
In Alternate install mode, had to investigate Dell's partitioning scheme and to find the correct /dev/mapper/(what ever identifier) to load grub bootloader to create the dual boot environment.

After install, no sound. Had to manually add
options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=alienware
to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf file to get it working

NVidia 3D Vision does not work, required software not available from them for Linux

Had to use AlienFX Lite to get illuminated keyboard customization, instructions here:

All in all, completely satisfied with the results. WARNING: not for the faint of heart. Took me a few hours to get this thing humming! but it does hum!

11.04 works flawlessly on the Acer Aspire One ZG5 (with 1.5GB ram).

Only exceptions are the mic must be configured to be on the left channel to work, and a card must be in the card reader at startup to be hot-pluggable.

I have 10.10 running on an Aspire One 110-ZG5 with 1.0 Gig RAM (8 Gig solid state drive plus an 8 Gig memory card). I also found the same fix for the internal mic (on another forum here).

Just today I discovered the post quoted above. I still hesitate to upgrade to 11.04 because at least one other person has reported problems installing 11.04 (in a post in the Installation and Upgrades forum; I posted a note there 2 weeks ago asking if others have tried; no reply yet). I don't have enough experience with Ubuntu to be confident that I could fix it if I have problems.

So I thought I would try in this forum. Has anyone else had success (or problems) installing either 11.04 or 11.10 on an AO110-ZG5?

Thanks in advance,
Paul

1)11.10 Oneiric Ocelot
2)Toshiba
3)Satellite L45-S4687

Works perfectly right out of the box after unmuting the audio. That's always been the one little glitch with the system that I haven't been able to figure out. The hotkeys work, and the volume is set to a decent level, just muted upon first boot.
