Installing Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on a ThinkPad T30

2008-08-28T21:16:27Z

Bedwyr: /* Slow boot */

= Slow boot =
This is a problem which afflicted at least one T30 machine when the last beta of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) was installed on it. Another user reports not encountering this problem when installing the release version of Hardy; however, it depends on having a [[Cisco Aironet Wireless 802.11b]] card installed in the [[miniPCI slot|mini-PCI slot]].

At first the {{T30}} took three minutes to boot and "ps" showed that several modprobe commands were hung in "D" state. The workaround was to comment out two lines in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/modules.alias:

<pre>

I connect various external monitors on the DVI port of the port expander. In order to spread one desktop over the laptop monitor (1400 x 1050) and the external monitor (e.g., a Samsung 1680 x 1050) I had to edit xorg.conf:
<pre>

</pre>

Interestingly, this causes the following message to appear in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
<pre>
(WW) RADEON(0): Option "RightOf" is not used
</pre>
but this is not true, since omitting this option (from the Monitor section for DVI-0) casues X to start in clone mode instead.

The other errors and warnings in the log file are:

== Synaptics Touchpad ==
Despite what is suggested by the X log output, the touchpad does work. The right side of the touchpad functions as a scroll control.

The last release corrects an old bug: sound volume keys don't change the software mixer.
* Ref: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hotkey-setup/+bug/145769

Another problem that can happen is that the sound card device won't be recognized. ALSA will report no sound cards found. Although seemingly unrelated, the removal of padlock_aes module helped clear this up. In the file ''/lib/modules/2.6.24-19/modules.alias'' make sure these two lines are commented out, then reboot.
#alias aes padlock_aes
#alias aes geode_aes

For the record, the ALSA module is snd-intel8x0.

= Suspend/Resume =
There are a couple of annoying problems with suspend and resume:
* The LCD backlight stays on during suspend
* No sound after resume

== LCD Backlight ==
To force the LCD backlight to turn off when suspending, first ensure radeontool is installed:
<pre>sudo apt-get install radeontool</pre>

Then, as root, save this script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/21radeon:
<pre>
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in
suspend|hibernate)
/usr/sbin/radeontool dac off
/usr/sbin/radeontool light off
;;
esac
</pre>

You must set the script executable:
<pre>sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/21radeon</pre>

== Sound after resume ==
To fix sound after resume, as root, save this script in /etc/pm/sleep.d/99sound:
<pre>
#!/bin/sh

case "$1" in

/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart

Installing Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on a ThinkPad T30

Bedwyr: update

These notes arise from installing the last beta of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) on a ThinkPad T30.

== Slow boot ==
At first the {{T30}} took three minutes to boot and "ps" showed that several modprobe commands were hung in "D" state. The workaround is to comment out two lines in /lib/modules/2.6.24-16-generic/modules.alias:

N.B: This problem does not exist on my T30 with the final release 8.04.

== X ==
I connect various external monitors on the DVI port of the port expander. In order to spread one desktop over the laptop monitor (1400 x 1050) and the external monitor (e.g., a Samsung 1680 x 1050) I had to edit xorg.conf:

As suggested, the touchpad does not work. Investigations are underway.

I needed to add these lines:

Under Section "Device"
Option "OverlayMem" "820000"

Under Section "Screen"
DefaultDepth 16

Subsection_"Display"
Depth 16
Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"

You can run this in 24 bit mode, but it doesn't do a lick of good. The LCD is just not good enough to truly render 24 bit color. And you won't be able to use any program which requires a xv overlay like oKle or Kaffeine or xine. The "OverlayMem" statement is there to allow for allotment of VRAM for the overlay. </td></tr></table>
