Installing Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a ThinkPad T61

2010-04-20T20:25:20Z

Andypiper: /* Enabling multi-touch touchpad */ updated to explain why this only works on some models.

{{HELP|We need help testing the remaining hardware}}

= General Information =
Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was released on 29 October 2009.

= Hardware Support Details =

== Untested ==
'''Modem:''' unknown

'''FireWire (IEEE1394): works by default''' unknown

== Tested: Worked "out of the box" ==
'''Webcam:''' works

'''Video 2D/3D '''
* '''NVidia (Quadro NVS 140M):''' works (needs proprietary driver for hardware acceleration)
* '''Intel (GMA X3100):''' works

'''WiFi'''
* '''Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN:''' works
* '''Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG:''' works
* '''ThinkPad 11a/b/g (Atheros):''' works with ath5k driver (in upgrade from 9.04, had to add ath5k module to /etc/modules for autoloading). When upgrading from 9.04, the ath5k driver may be blacklisted and hence will not load the driver for the wireless card. To fix this, open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-ath_pci.conf in your favorite editor and comment out the line "blacklist ath5k"
* '''ThinkPad 11a/b/g/n (Atheros):''' PRO/Wireless 4965 AG tested and works by default
* '''Front switch (airplane mode):''' works by default

'''Ethernet (Intel Gigabit):''' works

'''Special Keys (volume, Fn-, {{ibmkey|ThinkVantage|#495988}}):'''
* ThinkVantage button: go to ''System'' -> ''Preferences'' -> ''Keyboard Shortcuts'' and assign a task to it.
*Fn-F5 (Wireless/Bluetooth): works by default
*Fn-F8 (Enable/Disable touchpad): works by default
*Fn.F4 (Sleep button) works by default with Ubuntu and proprietary NVidia driver
{{HELP|Fn-F4 The sleep button does still does not under Kubuntu Jaunty 9.10. The setup below does not seem to work.}}
*Fn-F4 (Sleep button): To get sleep button working create {{path|/etc/acpi/events/lenovo-sleep}} and add the following to it:
<pre>
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001004
action=/etc/acpi/sleep.sh
</pre>

'''Touchpad:''' works

'''Touchpoint:''' works but see below for scrolling

'''ACPI'''
* '''Suspend:''' works running the restricted 185 nvidia driver, and on intel
* '''Hibernate:''' works, though not as smoothly as in previous releases
{{HELP|Some machines are requiring a double-resume from suspend. If the machine suspends while plugged in then is resumed while unplugged it will go back to sleep and have to be resumed again. Suggestions?}}

'''Bluetooth:''' works by default

'''DVD Drive'''
* '''Ultrabay Slim Super Multi-Burner Drive :''' works
* '''Ultrabay Slim DVD-ROM Drive:''' works
* '''Ultrabay Slim CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo II Drive:''' burning and reading CD's works. Untested on reading DVD

'''Audio (AD1984 HD)''': works
* '''Headphones:''' works
* '''Microphone:''' works

'''Card Reader:''' works but Ubuntu will not suspend (the screen blanks and it hangs) if a SD card mounted. This didn't happen w/ Jaunty.

== Tested: Needed tweaking to obtain full functionality ==
=== Enabling Trackpoint scrolling ===
To get vertical/horizontal scrolling working create {{path|/etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi}} and add the following to it:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.product" string="TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint">
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheel" type="string">true</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateWheelButton" type="string">2</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.ZAxsisMapping" type="string">4 5</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.Emulate3Buttons" type="string">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>
You then have to restart either X or GDM. Restarting HAL didn't work for me, a restart did the trick though.

=== Enabling multi-touch touchpad ===
To get get the multi-touch on the touchpad working (two-finger scrolling, etc) create {{path|/etc/hal/fdi/policy/11-x11-synaptics.fdi}} and add the following to it:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.capabilities" contains="input.touchpad">
<merge key="input.x11_driver" type="string">synaptics</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.SHMConfig" type="string">On</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.EmulateTwoFingerMinZ" type="string">90</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.VertTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.HorizTwoFingerScroll" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton1" type="string">1</merge>
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton2" type="string">3</merge> 
<merge key="input.x11_options.TapButton3" type="string">2</merge> 
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>
Then restart HAL with:

{{cmduser|sudo service hal restart}}

Instructions courtesy of [http://ubuntu-snippets.blogspot.com/2009/03/multi-touch-for-anyall-synaptics.html ubuntu snippets].

This will only work if your touchpad has multitouch capabilities (some of of the T6x series do not appear to have these capabilities). To check, check Xorg.0.log for the line "(II) SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad: buttons: left right middle". If this line includes double and/or triple, your touchpad supports multitouch. You can run:

{{cmduser|synclient -m 100}}

Look in the column marked f and put different combinations of fingers on the touchpad. If the number shows more than zero or one, multitouch is working.

=== Enabling the fingerprint reader ===

Install the ''thinkfinger-tools'' and ''libpam-thinkfinger'' packages then execute:

{{cmduser|sudo /usr/lib/pam-thinkfinger/pam-thinkfinger-enable}}

to enable the fingerprint reader. To capture the user's fingerprint run:

{{cmduser|tf-tool --acquire $USERNAME}}

you can then verify it with:

{{cmduser|tf-tool --verify}}

=== Fix for fingerprint reader getting too hot ===

Use the last script from [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_enable_the_fingerprint_reader_with_ThinkFinger#Fix_for_the_fingerprint_reader_getting_too_hot here], but note that in Karmic, the correct path is: {{path|/sys/class/usbmon/usbmon*/device/usb*/*}}

=== Install HDAPS - IBM Active Protection System Linux Driver ===
To install the Active Protection System execute the following commands:

{{cmduser|sudo cp /etc/modules /etc/modules_backup}}

{{cmduser|sudo aptitude install tp-smapi-source}}

{{cmduser|sudo module-assistant prepare tp-smapi}}

{{cmduser|sudo module-assistant auto-install tp-smapi}}

{{cmduser|sudo modprobe tp-smapi}}

{{cmduser|sudo aptitude install hdapsd}}

{{cmduser|echo 'tp-smapi' <nowiki>|</nowiki> sudo tee -a /etc/modules}}

=== Popping Sound with Intel sound card ===
You might be hearing a popping sound with an Intel sound card. A temporary solution exists for this [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/433782 known bug].

Open a terminal:

{{cmduser|sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf}}

And comment the last line called "options snd-hda-intel power_save=10". Basically, this is how the line should look after editing it:

<pre>
#options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N
</pre>

=== Hibernate ===
Suspend and hibernate work for me unless I have an sdcard mounted in the built-in card reader. To fix, create a file in /etc/pm/sleep.d called 10_unmountdisks. (Make sure its executable) In it put:
<pre>
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin
case "${1}" in
suspend|hibernate)
for i in `ls /media`; do
/usr/bin/gvfs-mount -u "/media/$i"
done
;;
resume|thaw)
# nothing
;;
esac
</pre>
