Installing Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a ThinkPad X61

2009-11-19T17:08:06Z

Adding the tp-smapi module:

New page

[[User:Jdthood|I]] installed Ubuntu 9.10 on the same ThinkPad {{X61}} model [[7673-CTO]] that [[Installing Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on a ThinkPad X61|I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on last year]].

This time I installed from DVD+R using the [[Ultrabay Slim Multi-Burner III Drive]] in the [[UltraBase X6]].

In the coming days I will test various features and extend this page.

== DMI info for this model ==
<pre>
# dmidecode -s system-manufacturer
LENOVO
# dmidecode -s system-product-name
7673CTO
# dmidecode -s system-version
ThinkPad X61
</pre>

== Kernel misdetects memory ==
Right at the beginning there was an important obstacle to overcome. The installed kernel would panic on boot.

I ran <tt>memtest+</tt> from the installation disc to see if I had a memory problem. It reported errors above 4 GiB. That's odd, because I only have 4 GiB of RAM installed.

I surmised that the new kernel, version 2.6.31-14-generic-pae, errs in reckoning the amount of installed RAM. And indeed, the
solution to the kernel panic was to add <tt>mem=4096M</tt> to the kernel boot parameter list.

== Adding the <tt>tp-smapi</tt> module ==
$ sudo aptitude install tp-smapi-source
$ sudo module-assistant build tp-smapi-source
$ sudo module-assistant install tp-smapi-source
$ sudo modprobe thinkpad_ec tp_smapi hdaps

Edit the file <tt>/etc/modules</tt> to add these lines:

thinkpad_ec
tp_smapi
hdaps

Ubuntu 9.10 contains version 0.40 of <tt>tp-smapi</tt>.

There is currently (19 November 2009) no hdaps-utils package in Karmic and so no <tt>hdaps-gl</tt> application.

== Increasing battery life ==

To make the battery last longer by reducing the number and depth of charge cycles, edit <tt>/etc/sysfs.conf</tt> to add the lines:

# Make battery live longer
devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh = 50
devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh = 90

To effect the change either reboot or do:

$ sudo su
# echo 50 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/start_charge_thresh
# echo 90 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/stop_charge_thresh

How to configure the TrackPoint

		+	Most recent distributions like Ubuntu 9.10 switch from HAL (being deprecated) to DevKit. Hence, the HAL configurations explained underneath, fail to work.
		+
		+	The easiest way to configure your touchpad and trackpoint with DevKit is by using the [http://live.gnome.org/GPointingDeviceSettings GPointingDeviceSettings] panel that fully supports the hardware. You can easily download the panel by installing {{cmduser\| gpointing-device-settings}} through e.g. {{cmduser\| apt-get}} on Ubuntu.
		+
		+	Launch the UI through the {{cmduser\| gpointing-device-settings}} command, but you can also add a menu entry to your System / Preferences menu for easier access to the UI panel.

		+	?? thinkpad_acpi is certainly not removed from the kernel. ibm_acpi is though, or rather has been renamed to thinkpad_acpi. Having said that some of the functionality thinkpad_acpi used to provide (bays and docks) has been recently stripped from the driver, and is now the responsibility of the generic ACPI bay and dock drivers. Also on newer thinkpads (T60 and such), thinkpad_acpi is no longer used for backlight, which instead is now handled by the generic acpi video driver. --[[User:Tonko\|Tonko]] 08:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

= Tested and Verified on Fedora 12 =

Information in this section has been tested and verified using Fedora 12.

== Installation ==

Installation is straight forward; you can follow the generic Fedora install instructions.

== Configuration ==
=== Kernel ===
It is recommended to edit {{path|/boot/grub/grub.conf}} and add {{bootparm|hpet|force}} to the kernel line. This will activate HPET (High Precision Event Timer), which will allow the CPU to sleep for longer periods and save power.
=== X Server - Intel 855GM ===
It seems that KMS has improved a lot with this release of Fedora. Both LVDS and VGA displays work in mirror and extended desktop mode, although extended desktop is rather limited as the Intel graphics chip is limited to just a 2048x2048 desktop size.

Compiz seems to work (needs more testing)

=== WiFi ===

Both the Intel 2200BG and Atheros wireless should work out of the box.

I did limited tested with the Intel 2200BG and it seemed to worked.

Atheros WiFi was not tested.

=== ThinkPad Extra keys ===
ThinkPad keys are handled by a mixture of the thinkpad_acpi, acpi button and acpi dock drivers.

=== Ultrabay ===
Ultrabay eject is not handled properly by default. Since there is no undock udev handler. This udev rule and eject script works for me: [[How to hotswap Ultrabay devices]]

Problems with fglrx

X-specific issues:

	As of version 8.37.6, this issue is solved. No more binary hacking needed.		As of version 8.37.6, this issue is solved. No more binary hacking needed.
		+
		+	==== X server gives an error "Invalid video BIOS signature" after installing fglrx ====
		+	In cases where you get an X error containing the following lines:<br>
		+	fglrx(0): Invalid video BIOS signature!<br>
		+	fglrx(0): GetBIOSParameter failed<br>
		+	fglrx(0): PreInitConfig failed<br>
		+
		+	A solution is to go into '''BIOS''', and set the option under '''Config > Display > Graphics Device''' from Switchable to Discrete. This will allow X to detect your Mobility Radeon graphics card, instead of incorrectly detecting only your integrated Intel chipset graphics.
		+
		+	You should also set the option ''''OS Detection for Switchable Graphics'''' to disabled, so that BIOS won't revert to 'Switchable' after each boot.

		+	# sRGB Mode is a method applied in some BOE-Hydis TFTs to re-map colors from the native (non-calibrated) TFT color space into a color space within a scaled down sRGB color triangle, thus with sides parallel to the sRGB color triangle. This means that the color gamut is not 72% of NTSC like normal sRGB, but it is still in the range of 45-55%. By sRGB mode one gains the benefit of a completely calibrated LCD (in sRGB terms) within the possible color gamut the color filters allow it to display.
