<div>== Installing Gutsy Gibbon (7.10) on a T61p ==<br />
<br />
<br />
== Introduction ==<br />
<br />
This document outlines configuring Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on your Thinkpad T61p. Most items will work out of the box and a base install will provide you with an almost completely working system. Due to the modular nature of the T61 there are many different configuration, please read carefully and only make the changes specific to your system.<br />
<br />
Feel free to update this Wiki with your information however please ask questions on the Talk page.<br />
<br />
== Installation Notes ==<br />
<br />
*Booting with the live CD not tested; there are no problems with graphics during install with the 'alternate' cd <br />
<br />
*fix no x session on first reboot after install <br />
<br />
On lenovo t61p thinkpad with nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M graphics card the installer fails to create a usable xorg.conf file and the system reboots into an unusable black screen as x refuses to start. The installer selects the nv driver, which does not support this card.<br />
<br />
fix: reboot into rescue mode and hand-edit xorg.conf to use vesa driver until the restricted nvidia driver is enabled.<br />
<br />
If you have a Ubuntu 7.10 DVD, you could use the same to first launch a live CD version of Ubuntu. When the live CD boots up it asks for the installation of restricted nVidia drivers (internet connection required). Once the restricted drivers are installed. Use the "Install" option from the live CD session to start the installation of Ubuntu.<br />
<br />
== Display/Video ==<br />
<br />
The '''nv''' driver does not support the Nvidia 570M card at all. To enable accelerated 3D support click System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager {{NOTE| If the Restricted Drivers Manager fails to install the driver you can use the Envy tool from: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html. This tool is unsupported and the only supported method of installing the Nvidia drivers is via Synaptics and the Restricted Drivers Manager}}<br />
<br />
== Brightness ==<br />
source: [[ Installing Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on a ThinkPad T61 ]]<br />
====Nvidia Quadro N140 and 570M:====<br />
The brightness controls do not work, however you can switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) increase or decrease the brightness and then switch back to X (ctrl+alt+F7) without disrupting the running applications. In a few rare cases switching back to X (ctrl+alt+7) may freeze your computer with a black screen so save any open documents before switching out.<br />
<br />
When using the '''vesa''' driver the brightness controls do work. So this problem seems to be related to the '''nvidia''' driver.<br />
<br />
== Audio ==<br />
*fix sound buttons:<br />
source: [[Installing Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on a ThinkPad T61|Installing Ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) on a ThinkPad T61]]<br />
<br />
the volume control hotkeys are configured to control microphone volume out of the box.<br />
<br />
fix: If you're using Gnome, from the System menu, click Preferences -> Sound, and in the Default Mixer Tracks field, choose PCM.<br />
<br />
*fix volume control applet:<br />
<br />
the volume control applet is configured to control microphone volume out of the box.<br />
<br />
fix: If you're using Gnome, right-click the applet > preferences > Select the device and track to control <br />
<br />
**do not change device (s/b HDA Intel)<br />
**change track from Microphone to PCM<br />
<br />
== Network/Internet ==<br />
<br />
Internet connectivity (wired and wireless) is slower on Ubuntu 7.10.<br />
{{NOTE|There is a workaround to improve connectivity for Firefox. On the Firefox address bar type '''about:config''' and look for '''network.dns.disableIPv6''' and change its value to '''true'''[[Image:Ubuntu710_Firefox_Fix.png]].}}<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Solution ===<br />
:<br />
Type the following in the terminal<br />
{{cmduser|sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases}}. The system may as you to provide the Super User password. Once the file is opened, search for the following string, '''alias net-pf-10 ipv6'''.<br />
Comment this line by prefixing a {{cmdresult|#}}. Now add a new line just below the commented line, '''alias net-pf-10 off'''.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Update_to_Aliases.png]]<br />
<br />
Now, save the file and restart Ubuntu.<br />

The '''nv''' driver does not support the Nvidia 570M card at all. To enable accelerated 3D support click System->Administration->Restricted Drivers Manager {{NOTE| If the Restricted Drivers Manager fails to install the driver you can use the Envy tool from: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html. This tool is unsupported and the only supported method of installing the Nvidia drivers is via Synaptics and the Restricted Drivers Manager}}<br />

The brightness controls do not work, however you can switch to a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) increase or decrease the brightness and then switch back to X (ctrl+alt+F7) without disrupting the running applications. In a few rare cases switching back to X (ctrl+alt+7) may freeze your computer with a black screen so save any open documents before switching out.<br />
<br />
When using the '''vesa''' driver the brightness controls do work. So this problem seems to be related to the '''nvidia''' driver.<br />

=== Introduction ===<br />
<br />
This document outlines configuring Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on your Thinkpad T61p. Most items will work out of the box and a base install will provide you with an almost completely working system. Due to the modular nature of the T61 there are many different configuration, please read carefully and only make the changes specific to your system.<br />
<br />
Feel free to update this Wiki with your information however please ask questions on the Talk page.<br />
<br />
=== Installation Notes ===<br />
<br />
*Booting with the live CD not tested; there are no problems with graphics during install with the 'alternate' cd <br />
<br />
*fix no x session on first reboot after install <br />
<br />
On lenovo t61p thinkpad with nVidia Corporation Quadro FX 570M graphics card the installer fails to create a usable xorg.conf file and the system reboots into an unusable black screen as x refuses to start. The installer selects the nv driver, which does not support this card.<br />
<br />
fix: reboot into rescue mode and hand-edit xorg.conf to use vesa driver until the restricted nvidia driver is enabled.<br />
<br />
If you have a Ubuntu 7.10 DVD, you could use the same to first launch a live CD version of Ubuntu. When the live CD boots up it asks for the installation of restricted nVidia drivers (internet connection required). Once the restricted drivers are installed. Use the "Install" option from the live CD session to start the installation of Ubuntu.<br />
