I'm running an IBM Thinkpad T40, with Ubuntu 7.04 as the operating system.

It works reasonably well, but I'm trying to find solutions to the following questions / problems that would take it from "good" to "great" :

  • How to make the "Access IBM" button open a console / xterm, using hotkey-setup?.
  • The mute button will mute sound, but pressing it again does not unmute. Is it possible to make it do this?
  • After hibernating, the wired Ethernet sometimes stops working. Despite various combinations of ifup / ifdown, editing /etc/network/interfaces, and /etc/init.d/networking restart, sometimes it refuses to work again. Restarting the computer seems to always make it work again. How to make sure that wired networking always works after a hibernate?
  • For other laptop users, the Network Manager Applet in Gnome will display the wireless network strength, and available wireless networks. For me, it only displays the wireless strength. How can I show the available wireless networks in the panel area?

If you have any answers or suggestions, then please edit this page and add them, I would welcome any assistance. -- All the best, Nickj 06:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
