Installing Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) on a ThinkPad T61

2009-11-27T07:17:02Z

Fixedd:

{{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):''' 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
{{HELP|Fn-F4 The sleep button does not work out of the box.}}

'''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].

{{HELP|Not working for me.}}

=== 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>

=== 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}}

Installing Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on a ThinkPad T61

2009-03-04T01:21:52Z

Fixedd: removing Bluetooth... I stopped having problems with it

NOTE: I copied the 8.04 document and created this one with the information. Please help to update it so it accurately reflects 8.10.

== Items that work out of the box ==

'''Intel Video:''' 2D and 3D acceleration works

'''Nvidia Video:''' 2D and 3D acceleration works . 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 requires updated Nvidia driver 180.29 .

'''Wireless:''' Intel cards tested. Atheros cards also works.

'''Wireless WAN:''' Cingular/AT&T card tested.

'''Network Card:''' Intel 10/100/1000 tested

'''Wireless switch:''' Tested (Only has an effect over the bluetooth, wifi is unaffected)

'''Webcam:''' Tested with cheese and skype.

'''Headphones:''' Works out of the box

'''Microphone:''' Just needs to be activated, see section [[#Audio|below]]

'''Keyboard Shortcuts:''' Most of them work out of the box, some need to be activated, see section [[#Multimedia_Keys|below]]

'''Fingerprint Reader:''' With ThinkFinger, not as functional after upgrade (need to hit 'Enter'), see below

== Items that need (some) tweaking to obtain full functionality ==
=== Sound (too quiet) ===
{{NOTE|Note: This seems to have been fixed in a recent update. Following these instructions will actually dampen sound if your sound is already at the appropriate volume. Only apply if necessary.}}
Sound works "out of the box", but is too quiet for many people. To fix this you need to do the following:
<pre>
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
</pre>
and add
<pre>
options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad
</pre>
to the very end of the file ({{path|/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base}}).

=== Open Source Intel Wi-Fi Driver ===
The following information is important if you are upgrading from a previous version (2007 or earlier) of Ubuntu to 8.10.

Intel has created a new Linux Wi-Fi driver project for Intel Wireless cards, "[[Iwlwifi]]". This driver is Open Source and no longer requires the Intel daemon to run in addition. This project will support the [[:Category:T61 | T61]]'s Wi-Fi [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter | Intel 3945ABG network adapter]] and [[Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Mini-PCI Express Adapter| Intel 4965AGN network adapter]].

An automatic migration will occur when upgrading from [[Installing Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on a ThinkPad T61|Ubuntu 7.10]] to Ubuntu 8.04. However, there is a caveat to be aware of:
* The new driver wants to name the interface wlan0 (by default -- you can rename it to anything you want), and requires a different entry in {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules}}, which handles the naming of interfaces. Simply edit this file and delete your old entry for the ipw3945 driver, then unload/reload the new driver, or simply reboot. A new entry will automatically be created that is appropriate for the new driver. Here's an example of the lines to delete:
<pre>
# PCI device 0x8086:0x4227 (ipw3945)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1b:77:a4:0e:2f", NAME="eth1"
</pre>

If you need to perform a manual migration, the Ubuntu Help Community has written some [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy documentation] that will make this very easy to do.

An additional note
'''System lock-ups with Intel 4965 wireless'''

The version of the iwlagn wireless driver for Intel 4965 wireless chipsets included in Linux kernel version 2.6.27 causes kernel panics when used with 802.11n or 802.11g networks. Users affected by this issue can install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package, to install a newer version of this driver that corrects the bug. (Because the known fix requires a new version of the driver, it is not expected to be possible to include this fix in the main kernel package.)
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810

==== To enable the Wi-Fi LED with the Atheros cards ====

First check if this solution works on your computer. Open a terminal and run this commands:

sysctl dev.wifi0.ledpin=1
sysctl dev.wifi0.softled=3

Now connect to a wireless network and the LED should start working. If so and you want to make the changes permanent then, on a Debian-based system, add
<pre>
dev.wifi0.ledpin=1
dev.wifi0.softled=1

=== Emulate Wheel (Middle-click scrolling) ===
[http://mvogt.wordpress.com/2008/08/15/xorg-evdev-and-emulatewheel/ Michael Vogt described] how to get middle-click scrolling to work again in Intrepid. Xorg.conf is not used to configure mice and keyboards anymore, but evdev is. This makes the configuration of middle-click scrolling a little bit different than previous versions of Ubuntu. In terminal:
<pre>
sudo gedit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/mouse-wheel.fdi
</pre>
Past and save the following code, which will give vertical wheel emulation only:

=== Suspend/Hibernate ===
==== Nvidia drivers ====
One of the many problems associated with the Thinkpad *61 series and '''nvidia''' is the suspend/hibernate feature being broken.

If you have such a problem then try this fix.

First of all make sure that you use '''nvidia''' drivers. System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers and there the activate the latest one.

Then create file /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi

With contents:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>

<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>
Reboot and check suspend and hibernation.

'''Update and success 1 March 2009'''
I didn't have success with above alone. After editing loads of hal files I cam across a suggestion that early versions of the nvidia 180 drivers dont do suspend/resume. It was also said that from 180.25 on they worked. So I manually upgraded to the using the documentation on the Ubuntu wiki - but basically it's a matter of removing anything that was installed by ubuntu (like getting rid of /lib/modules/2.6.27-11-generic/updates/dkms/nvidia.ko) and then running the nvidia installer, rebooting and you have the newer version - in my case 180.29. Now suspend to ram works!

===== Nvidia driver upgrade to latest version (180.29 currently) =====

Follow these instructions: http://adammichaelroach.com/blog/021809/installing-nvidia-18029-drivers-intrepid

Without 180.29 version Firefox and X.org will stall with these error messages in the log file:

Installing Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) on a ThinkPad T61

2009-02-26T22:46:51Z

Fixedd: Added bluetooth section

NOTE: I copied the 8.04 document and created this one with the information. Please help to update it so it accurately reflects 8.10.

== Items that work out of the box ==

'''Intel Video:''' 2D and 3D acceleration works

'''Nvidia Video:''' 2D and 3D acceleration works

'''Wireless:''' Intel cards tested. Atheros cards also works.

'''Wireless WAN:''' Cingular/AT&T card tested.

'''Network Card:''' Intel 10/100/1000 tested

'''Wireless switch:''' Tested (Only has an effect over the bluetooth, wifi is unaffected)

'''Webcam:''' Tested with cheese and skype.

'''Headphones:''' Works out of the box

'''Microphone:''' Just needs to be activated, see section [[#Audio|below]]

'''Keyboard Shortcuts:''' Most of them work out of the box, some need to be activated, see section [[#Multimedia_Keys|below]]

'''Fingerprint Reader:''' With ThinkFinger, not as functional after upgrade (need to hit 'Enter'), see below

== Items that need (some) tweaking to obtain full functionality ==
=== Sound (too quiet) ===
{{NOTE|Note: This seems to have been fixed in a recent update. Following these instructions will actually dampen sound if your sound is already at the appropriate volume. Only apply if necessary.}}
Sound works "out of the box", but is too quiet for many people. To fix this you need to do the following:
<pre>
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
</pre>
and add
<pre>
options snd-hda-intel model=thinkpad
</pre>
to the very end of the file ({{path|/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base}}).

=== Open Source Intel Wi-Fi Driver ===
The following information is important if you are upgrading from a previous version (2007 or earlier) of Ubuntu to 8.10.

Intel has created a new Linux Wi-Fi driver project for Intel Wireless cards, "[[Iwlwifi]]". This driver is Open Source and no longer requires the Intel daemon to run in addition. This project will support the [[:Category:T61 | T61]]'s Wi-Fi [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter | Intel 3945ABG network adapter]] and [[Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Mini-PCI Express Adapter| Intel 4965AGN network adapter]].

An automatic migration will occur when upgrading from [[Installing Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on a ThinkPad T61|Ubuntu 7.10]] to Ubuntu 8.04. However, there is a caveat to be aware of:
* The new driver wants to name the interface wlan0 (by default -- you can rename it to anything you want), and requires a different entry in {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules}}, which handles the naming of interfaces. Simply edit this file and delete your old entry for the ipw3945 driver, then unload/reload the new driver, or simply reboot. A new entry will automatically be created that is appropriate for the new driver. Here's an example of the lines to delete:
<pre>
# PCI device 0x8086:0x4227 (ipw3945)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1b:77:a4:0e:2f", NAME="eth1"
</pre>

If you need to perform a manual migration, the Ubuntu Help Community has written some [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy documentation] that will make this very easy to do.

An additional note
'''System lock-ups with Intel 4965 wireless'''

The version of the iwlagn wireless driver for Intel 4965 wireless chipsets included in Linux kernel version 2.6.27 causes kernel panics when used with 802.11n or 802.11g networks. Users affected by this issue can install the linux-backports-modules-intrepid package, to install a newer version of this driver that corrects the bug. (Because the known fix requires a new version of the driver, it is not expected to be possible to include this fix in the main kernel package.)
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810

==== To enable the Wi-Fi LED with the Atheros cards ====

First check if this solution works on your computer. Open a terminal and run this commands:

sysctl dev.wifi0.ledpin=1
sysctl dev.wifi0.softled=3

Now connect to a wireless network and the LED should start working. If so and you want to make the changes permanent then, on a Debian-based system, add
<pre>
dev.wifi0.ledpin=1
dev.wifi0.softled=1
</pre>
to the file /etc/sysctl.conf. If your distribution doesn't have a sysctl.conf file then you can add the two sysctl commands to an initscript.

=== Network connection after suspend/resume ===
Networking may not work after a suspend or resume operation, this is because of the ath_pci driver and can be worked around by creating the file {{path|/etc/pm/config.d/madwifi}} and adding the single line

Fixedd: /* Suspend / Hibernate Problems */

Have you tried connecting an external monitor? I'm trying to get dual monitor working. I tried enabling it thru nvidia-settings tool, but it didn't work (I think there's a documented bug).

== Missing information: how to activate microphone ==

The text says
Microphone: Just needs to be activated, see section below
But there is no "below" (or #audio, respectively)

== Better description of the fingerprint reader problem ==
I think this will be the same on a T61 (but since i have a T61p i cannot verify, not exactly sure where the differences are!)

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Install_Ubuntu_Intrepid_Ibex_on_a_T61p#Fingerprint_Reader

== Suspend / Hibernate Problems ==
I'm having serious problems with hibernate (didn't work in Hardy either).
Also, sometimes when I suspend (sleep) my machine when it comes back sound won't work until I do a full reboot.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any proposed solutions?

I can confirm the hibernate problem, sleep seems ok though. [[User:Fixedd|Fixedd]] 20:28, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

=== Compiz and XV Playback on Intel GM965/GL960 ===

With Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) you currently have to choose between using Compiz and working video playback using XV. On 8.04 (Hardy Heron) alpha 5 you can play videos using XV under compiz, it works right out of the box using the Live-CD.

=== Suspend with Nv140m ===
Suspend may not work even after editing acpi-support. Enable bluetooth (Fn+F5) may result in a successful suspend. NOTE: that although the wifi led does not change when Fn+F5 is used, the wifi is still toggled by this key.

'''Hal "S3 BIOS" parameter issue!'''

After doing the changes to the /etc/default/acpi-support file (described [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_(Gutsy_Gibbon)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#How_to_Suspend_with_nVidia_140m.2F570m here]), I for one, managed to have '''stable''' suspend support by creating a new file called: '''/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi''' with the following contents:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>
{{NOTE|The problem (after reading the HAL and pm-utils documentations) is the fact that (as far as I can tell) the T61 Lenovo doesn't allow the S3 BIOS to be called *during* suspend/resume, which HAL seems to do by default (who knows, maybe there are T61s out there that do work with this default)!

This did not seem to be necessary for previous versions of Ubuntu. Also note that I have an NVIDIA card so I have no idea what to do for Intel versions.The change should also be resistant to HAL and pm-utils upgrades.}}

'''Still no suspend with nvs140m? Got Modell 6460?'''

Fix above didn't work for me on a 15.4 wide T61 Modell 6460 with nv140m. Bios is updated to 2.14 but didn't change anything, except the usb bug is fix. Suspend seems to work fine, but resume gives me a black screen (backlight off - no reaction to brightness up) and I can hear 2 beeps. Most of the time I can reboot with ctrl+alt+delete but the screen stays dark until bios.

follow the instructions above but create the new file called: '''/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi''' with the following contents instead:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>

Also you want to set the following parameter in

{{path|/etc/default/acpi-support}}
<pre>
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true
</pre>

{{NOTE|This works for me with mode 6460, except for one problem: You may get a white screen in xorg after resume when using compiz. If you don't have a 6460 with nvidia this file may break things for you because it doesn't care about the modell and sets the parameter for any lenovo product}}
{{HELP|Anyone with more knowledge of hal and acpi-support is welcome to clean this up. I also don't know why this setting can be done via hal and in acpi-support.
See below!}}

'''Working on hardy final'''

After trying out all these recipes on my 6457CTO waking up from suspend still did not work. Finally I came across a blog entry which pointed out the right way: [[http://david.goodlad.ca/2008/3/14/suspend-hibernate-on-lenovo-t61 David Goodlad's blog]]. I realized that all the fixes proposing editing the acpi-support file or adding a kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s3_mode must be wrong because since hardy gnome-power-manager gets its information solely from hal. So setting up correct hal information is the right way but the proposed solution (creating a /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi file) did not work for me. Ok, but now step by step:

# Revert ALL the proposed fixes from above. I found out that at least the lenovo.fdi solution is actually breaking the real fix. So for sure delete /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi
# Find out about the excact hal name of your machine: <pre>hal-device |grep 6457</pre> where 6457 is the model number of my t61, replace it with your own. In my case it spits out something like this: system.hardware.product = '6457CTO'. So now I know that hal identifies my machine as 6457CTO.
# <pre>sudo gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi</pre> and add a section to the end of the file, just above the </device> tag and replace 6457CTO with your hal device name:
<pre>

<match key="system.hardware.product" string="6457CTO">

<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

Now save and reboot. Now you might run into the problem of coming back from resume into a completely white screen where normally should be the password dialog. Entering your password blindly is not nice but at least you can resume.

{{NOTE|Somehow I couldn't make the wildcard matching work as they did in the lenovo.fdi solution, but that might be due to my shortcomings on that syntax. Anyway matching the device by its full name worked for me. Probably somebody who knows more about the matching could make that wildcard thing work to have a more general solution. Because hal also knows the xorg driver name (info.linux.driver) there should be a way to set up the quirks depending on the driver.}}

[[Category: T61]]

=== TrackPoint ===
The [[TrackPoint]] works out of the box, but does not scroll nor does the tap-clicking (press to select) feature work. Therefor see: [[#tap-to-click feature]] To enable using the middle mouse button to scroll, replace the "Configured Mouse" section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} with the following:
<pre>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Trackpoint"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
</pre>

=== Audio ===

Works great out of the box, just the microphone has to be activated, it is considered a generic capture source and is muted by default.

To unmute the microphone:

*Right Click on the volume icon next to the clock and click on "Open Volume Control"

*Click Edit -> Preferences. A list of devices will be displayed, you should check the following (Do not uncheck any existing items):

Input Source
Capture

*Click Close and there should be two additional tabs "Recording" and "Options". -

*Click Recording and click on the microphone under the Capture slider so that it no longer has a red line through it, and put the slider up as it may be deactivated.

*Click Options and under capture source select internal mic.

To test your mic using Sound Recorder select Capture as the sound source.

This solution has been tested with Sound Recorder and Skype.

To get the volume controls working:

*add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, then reboot

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad

{{NOTE|The volume controls worked fine for me out of the box on a 6460.}}

=== Multimedia Keys ===

Most Multimedia Keys work out of the box, just the play, forward and stop buttons need to be adjusted, therefore, press alt + F2 and type in gnome-keybinding-properties. Then everything works as followed:

* Fn-PgUp activates/deactivates the thinklight
* Fn-Up will trigger stop on a media player
* Fn-Down will toggle pause and play on a media player
* Fn-Left/Right go to prev/next tracks on a media player
* Fn-F2 properly locks the screen
* Fn-F3 shows remaining battery >>does not work on all machines<<
* Fn-F4 suspends (to ram)
* Fn-F9 ejects cds >>does not work on all machines, I think this is supposed to eject from a "dock"<<
* Fn-F12 hibernates (to disk)
* PrtSc opens the screenshot dialog

To enable the back, forward, and the menu keys you'll need to teach XKB what they are.

* Check the '''XkbLayout''' option (under '''InputDevice''') in your {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} file to determine which keyboard layout Ubuntu is using (I'll use 'us' for the example).
* Navigate to {{path|/etc/X11/xkb/symbols}} and, as root, open the appropriate layout file (as determined above) in your favorite editor.
{{cmduser|cd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols}}
{{cmduser|sudo gedit us}}
* In the '''xkb_symbols "basic"''' section after the '''name[Group1]= "x";''' (where x is a country name, or similar) line add the following:
key <I63> { [ Menu ] };
key <I69> { [ XF86Forward ] };
key <I6A> { [ XF86Back ] };
* Now log out and back in and all three of the buttons should function.

=== Thinkpad Button ===

Paste the following into /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk
setkeycodes e017 148 # thinkpad button
You can also just type this into a terminal, to test it for the time of the current session.

Paste the following into the right file in /usr/share/xmodmap (check your country code)
keycode 159 = XF86Terminal
For immediate availability of the button, reload the file by executing
xmodmap <xmodmap.file>

Then use the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tool under "Preferences".

== Items that don't work (a.k.a.: items that need more intense tweaking to get fixed)==

=== tap-to-click feature ===

For the tap-to-click feature (taping the stick instead of using the left mouse button) i used a configure trackpoint utility: [http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/configure-trackpoint.html] there is a package for ubuntu 7.04 i386, but i compiled it by myself (using amd64):

1.) download the .tar.gz file

2.) unpack it

3.) install libgnomeui-dev

{{cmduser|sudo aptitude install libgnomeui-dev}}

4.) in the folder, do:

{{cmduser|./configure}}

if everything worked fine:

{{cmduser|make}}

then install it:

{{cmduser|sudo make install}}

5.) Open it: System > configure trackpoint, and configure on your needs

=== Hotswapping ===

{{HELP|We need someone who is able to get hotswaping to work properly, this is not the right was to do this!}}
With the new kernel, bay-drivers changed, so if you remove the ultrabay it will freeze your system! You can hack it with a simple comand, first you have to look where the device is:

{{cmduser|less /sys/class/scsi_device/(x)\:0\:0\:0/device/model}}

for (x) first put in 0, if it tells you DVD or the name of the model you want to hotswap youre right. if not, go on with 1, 2 or 3...

then, once you are sure (I deactivated my harddisk like that) you put in:

{{cmduser|echo 1 {{!}} sudo tee /sys/class/scsi_device/(x)\:0\:0\:0/device/delete}}

Now you should be able to remove the device.

{{WARN|Do not use it for harddisks, be sure you unmounted it before! This is just a bad hack, if anyone knows how to get it right --> publish!}}

If Ubuntu does not reactivate the device after putting it in again, do:

{{cmduser|echo 0 0 0 {{!}} sudo tee /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan}}

=== Wireless activity LED ===

The LED is not implemented at least in the IWL4965 driver.

A patch posted in this [http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1209 thread] works for me on R61 with IWL4965 card.

{{HELP|A howto is needed showing the process of implementing the patch in Hardy Heron. If anyone knows how to do this, please create a quick howto and either put it here or link to it from this page. Please and thank you.}}

As an alternative, you can install a backported IWL4965 driver that ''may'' fix the LED problem on your system.

To active WiFi LED,

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy

{{NOTE|On some machines, (at least one running IWL3945 & IWL4965) applying the above turns on the LED permanently. It should flicker as data is being transmitted. Also, with the above modification, after turning off wireless and then turning it back on (via the switch on the front of the machine) wireless is not reactivated, so not very helpful}}

=== Hidden SSID ===
It has been reported that users wanting to access Hidden SSIDs have to enter the SSID and password manually in Network Manager to connect. Even after the SSID is saved in Network Manager, it will not reconnect automatically. The user has to connect manually by entering the information as previously described. Please post any fixes here.

=== Hard Disk Parking ===
Getting hard disk parking to work is a 3 step process:

1. Patch your system with tp_smapi.

2. Patch your kernel with the 'protect' patch.

3. Installing the hdapsd daemon which does the actual parking.

See the following link for instructions on implementing Hard Disk Parking:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_protect_the_harddisk_through_APS

{{HELP|Patch is outdated. It won't work under Gutsy kernel due to API changes. Please attach link to working patch. }}

== some other tweaks ==

=== screenblank with {{key|Fn}} + {{key|F3}} ===

Its ok, and might be usefull to get the estimated batterytime when pressing {{key|Fn}}+{{key|F3}}, as it should be. But i dont need that, i find the earlier command for {{key|F3}}, to blank the screen more useful to save batterylife white fast.

For that, you must edit {{path|/etc/acpi/thinkpad-lockbattery.sh}} and replace LENOVO by IBM, and IBM by LENOVO :). Do not forget to copy the file before you change it!

Installing Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) on a ThinkPad T61

2008-05-27T22:19:42Z

Fixedd: /* Multimedia Keys */

== Items that work out of the box ==

'''Intel Video:''' 2D and 3D acceleration works

'''Nvidia Video:''' 2D and 3D acceleration works

'''Wireless:''' Intel cards tested. Atheros cards also works.

'''Wireless WAN:''' Cingular/AT&T card tested.

'''Network Card''' Intel 10/100/1000 tested

'''Wireless switch''' Tested

'''Webcam''' Tested with cheese and skype.

'''Headphones''' Works out of the box

'''Microphone''' Just needs to be activated, see section [[#Audio|below]]

'''Keyboard Shortcuts:''' Most of them work out of the box, some need to be activated, see section [[#Multimedia_Keys|below]]

== Items that need (some) tweaking to obtain full functionality ==

=== Open Source Intel Wifi Driver ===
The following information is important if you are upgrading from a previous version of Ubuntu to 8.04.

Intel has created a new Linux Wifi driver project for Intel Wireless cards, "[[Iwlwifi]]". This driver is Open Source and no longer requires the Intel daemon to run in addition. This project will support the [[:Category:T61 | T61]]'s Wifi [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter | Intel 3945ABG network adapter]] and [[Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Mini-PCI Express Adapter| Intel 4965AGN network adapter]].

An automatic migration will occur when upgrading from [[Installing Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on a ThinkPad T61|Ubuntu 7.10]] to Ubuntu 8.04. However, there is a caveat to be aware of:
* The new driver wants to name the interface wlan0 (by default -- you can rename it to anything you want), and requires a different entry in {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules}}, which handles the naming of interfaces. Simply edit this file and delete your old entry for the ipw3945 driver, then unload/reload the new driver, or simply reboot. A new entry will automatically be created that is appropriate for the new driver. Here's an example of the lines to delete:
<pre>
# PCI device 0x8086:0x4227 (ipw3945)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1b:77:a4:0e:2f", NAME="eth1"
</pre>

If you need to perform a manual migration, the Ubuntu Help Community has written some [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy documentation] that will make this very easy to do.

=== Compiz and XV Playback on Intel GM965/GL960 ===

With Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) you currently have to choose between using Compiz and working video playback using XV. On 8.04 (Hardy Heron) alpha 5 you can play videos using XV under compiz, it works right out of the box using the Live-CD.

=== Suspend with Nv140m ===
Suspend may not work even after editing acpi-support. Enable bluetooth (Fn+F5) may result in a successful suspend. NOTE: that although the wifi led does not change when Fn+F5 is used, the wifi is still toggled by this key.

'''Hal "S3 BIOS" parameter issue!'''

After doing the changes to the /etc/default/acpi-support file (described [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_(Gutsy_Gibbon)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#How_to_Suspend_with_nVidia_140m.2F570m here]), I for one, managed to have '''stable''' suspend support by creating a new file called: '''/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi''' with the following contents:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>
{{NOTE|The problem (after reading the HAL and pm-utils documentations) is the fact that (as far as I can tell) the T61 Lenovo doesn't allow the S3 BIOS to be called *during* suspend/resume, which HAL seems to do by default (who knows, maybe there are T61s out there that do work with this default)!

This did not seem to be necessary for previous versions of Ubuntu. Also note that I have an NVIDIA card so I have no idea what to do for Intel versions.The change should also be resistant to HAL and pm-utils upgrades.}}

'''Still no suspend with nvs140m? Got Modell 6460?'''

Fix above didn't work for me on a 15.4 wide T61 Modell 6460 with nv140m. Bios is updated to 2.14 but didn't change anything, except the usb bug is fix. Suspend seems to work fine, but resume gives me a black screen (backlight off - no reaction to brightness up) and I can hear 2 beeps. Most of the time I can reboot with ctrl+alt+delete but the screen stays dark until bios.

follow the instructions above but create the new file called: '''/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi''' with the following contents instead:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>

Also you want to set the following parameter in

{{path|/etc/default/acpi-support}}
<pre>
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true
</pre>

{{NOTE|This works for me with mode 6460, except for one problem: You may get a white screen in xorg after resume when using compiz. If you don't have a 6460 with nvidia this file may break things for you because it doesn't care about the modell and sets the parameter for any lenovo product}}
{{HELP|Anyone with more knowledge of hal and acpi-support is welcome to clean this up. I also don't know why this setting can be done via hal and in acpi-support.
See below!}}

'''Working on hardy final'''

After trying out all these recipes on my 6457CTO waking up from suspend still did not work. Finally I came across a blog entry which pointed out the right way: [[http://david.goodlad.ca/2008/3/14/suspend-hibernate-on-lenovo-t61 David Goodlad's blog]]. I realized that all the fixes proposing editing the acpi-support file or adding a kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s3_mode must be wrong because since hardy gnome-power-manager gets its information solely from hal. So setting up correct hal information is the right way but the proposed solution (creating a /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi file) did not work for me. Ok, but now step by step:

# Revert ALL the proposed fixes from above. I found out that at least the lenovo.fdi solution is actually breaking the real fix. So for sure delete /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi
# Find out about the excact hal name of your machine: <pre>hal-device |grep 6457</pre> where 6457 is the model number of my t61, replace it with your own. In my case it spits out something like this: system.hardware.product = '6457CTO'. So now I know that hal identifies my machine as 6457CTO.
# <pre>sudo gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi</pre> and add a section to the end of the file, just above the </device> tag and replace 6457CTO with your hal device name:
<pre>

<match key="system.hardware.product" string="6457CTO">

<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

Now save and reboot. Now you might run into the problem of coming back from resume into a completely white screen where normally should be the password dialog. Entering your password blindly is not nice but at least you can resume.

{{NOTE|Somehow I couldn't make the wildcard matching work as they did in the lenovo.fdi solution, but that might be due to my shortcomings on that syntax. Anyway matching the device by its full name worked for me. Probably somebody who knows more about the matching could make that wildcard thing work to have a more general solution. Because hal also knows the xorg driver name (info.linux.driver) there should be a way to set up the quirks depending on the driver.}}

[[Category: T61]]

=== TrackPoint ===
The [[TrackPoint]] works out of the box, but does not scroll nor does the tap-clicking (press to select) feature work. Therefor see: [[#tap-to-click feature]] To enable using the middle mouse button to scroll, replace the "Configured Mouse" section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} with the following:
<pre>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Trackpoint"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
</pre>

=== Audio ===

Works great out of the box, just the microphone has to be activated, it is considered a generic capture source and is muted by default.

To unmute the microphone:

*Right Click on the volume icon next to the clock and click on "Open Volume Control"

*Click Edit -> Preferences. A list of devices will be displayed, you should check the following (Do not uncheck any existing items):

Input Source
Capture

*Click Close and there should be two additional tabs "Recording" and "Options". -

*Click Recording and click on the microphone under the Capture slider so that it no longer has a red line through it, and put the slider up as it may be deactivated.

*Click Options and under capture source select internal mic.

To test your mic using Sound Recorder select Capture as the sound source.

This solution has been tested with Sound Recorder and Skype.

To get the volume controls working:

*add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, then reboot

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad

{{NOTE|The volume controls worked fine for me out of the box on a 6460.}}

=== Multimedia Keys ===

Most Multimedia Keys work out of the box, just the play, forward and stop buttons need to be adjusted, therefore, press alt + F2 and type in gnome-keybinding-properties. Then everything works as followed:

* Fn-PgUp activates/deactivates the thinklight
* Fn-Up will trigger stop on a media player
* Fn-Down will toggle pause and play on a media player
* Fn-Left/Right go to prev/next tracks on a media player
* Fn-F2 properly locks the screen
* Fn-F3 shows remaining battery >>does not work on all machines<<
* Fn-F4 suspends (to ram)
* Fn-F9 ejects cds >>does not work on all machines<<
* Fn-F12 hibernates (to disk)
* PrtSc opens the screenshot dialog

To enable the back, forward, and the menu keys you'll need to teach XKB what they are.

* Check the '''XkbLayout''' option (under '''InputDevice''') in your {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} file to determine which keyboard layout Ubuntu is using (I'll use 'us' for the example).
* Navigate to {{path|/etc/X11/xkb/symbols}} and, as root, open the appropriate layout file (as determined above) in your favorite editor.
{{cmduser|cd /etc/X11/xkb/symbols}}
{{cmduser|sudo gedit us}}
* In the '''xkb_symbols "basic"''' section after the '''name[Group1]= "x";''' (where x is a country name, or similar) line add the following:
key <I63> { [ Menu ] };
key <I69> { [ XF86Forward ] };
key <I6A> { [ XF86Back ] };
* Now log out and back in and all three of the buttons should function.

=== Thinkpad Button ===

Paste the following into /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk
setkeycodes e017 148 # thinkpad button
You can also just type this into a terminal, to test it for the time of the current session.

Paste the following into the right file in /usr/share/xmodmap (check your country code)
keycode 159 = XF86Terminal
For immediate availability of the button, reload the file by executing
xmodmap <xmodmap.file>

Then use the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tool under "Preferences".

<pre>

<match key="system.hardware.product" string="6457CTO">

<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

Now save and reboot. Now you might run into the problem of coming back from resume into a completely white screen where normally should be the password dialog. Entering your password blindly is not nice but at least you can resume.

{{NOTE|Somehow I couldn't make the wildcard matching work as they did in the lenovo.fdi solution, but that might be due to my shortcomings on that syntax. Anyway matching the device by its full name worked for me. Probably somebody who knows more about the matching could make that wildcard thing work to have a more general solution. Because hal also knows the xorg driver name (info.linux.driver) there should be a way to set up the quirks depending on the driver.}}

[[Category: T61]]

=== TrackPoint ===
The [[TrackPoint]] works out of the box, but does not scroll nor does the tap-clicking (press to select) feature work. Therefor see: [[#tap-to-click feature]] To enable using the middle mouse button to scroll, replace the "Configured Mouse" section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} with the following:
<pre>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Trackpoint"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
</pre>

=== Audio ===

Works great out of the box, just the microphone has to be activated, it is considered a generic capture source and is muted by default.

To unmute the microphone:

*Right Click on the volume icon next to the clock and click on "Open Volume Control"

*Click Edit -> Preferences. A list of devices will be displayed, you should check the following (Do not uncheck any existing items):

Input Source
Capture

*Click Close and there should be two additional tabs "Recording" and "Options". -

*Click Recording and click on the microphone under the Capture slider so that it no longer has a red line through it, and put the slider up as it may be deactivated.

*Click Options and under capture source select internal mic.

To test your mic using Sound Recorder select Capture as the sound source.

This solution has been tested with Sound Recorder and Skype.

To get the volume controls working:

*add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, then reboot

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad

{{NOTE|The volume controls worked fine for me out of the box on a 6460.}}

=== Multimedia Keys ===

Most Multimedia Keys work out of the box, just the play, forward and stop buttons need to be adjusted, therefore, press alt + F2 and type in gnome-keybinding-properties. Then everything works as followed:

* Fn-PgUp activates/deactivates the thinklight
* Fn-Up will trigger stop on a media player
* Fn-Down will toggle pause and play on a media player
* Fn-Left/Right go to prev/next tracks on a media player
* Fn-F2 properly locks the screen
* Fn-F3 shows remaining battery >>does not work on all machines<<
* Fn-F4 suspends (to ram)
* Fn-F9 ejects cds
* Fn-F12 hibernates (to disk)
* PrtSc opens the screenshot dialog

{{HELP|The browser back, browser forward, and the context menu keys do not function out of the box.}}

=== Thinkpad Button ===

Paste the following into /usr/share/hotkey-setup/ibm.hk
setkeycodes e017 148 # thinkpad button
You can also just type this into a terminal, to test it for the time of the current session.

Paste the following into the right file in /usr/share/xmodmap (check your country code)
keycode 159 = XF86Terminal
For immediate availability of the button, reload the file by executing
xmodmap <xmodmap.file>

Then use the "Keyboard Shortcuts" tool under "Preferences".

== Items that don't work (a.k.a.: items that need more intense tweaking to get fixed)==

=== tap-to-click feature ===

For the tap-to-click feature (taping the stick instead of using the left mouse button) i used a configure trackpoint utility: [http://tpctl.sourceforge.net/configure-trackpoint.html] there is a package for ubuntu 7.04 i386, but i compiled it by myself (using amd64):

1.) download the .tar.gz file

2.) unpack it

3.) install libgnomeui-dev

{{cmduser|sudo aptitude install libgnomeui-dev}}

4.) in the folder, do:

{{cmduser|./configure}}

if everything worked fine:

{{cmduser|make}}

then install it:

{{cmduser|sudo make install}}

5.) Open it: System > configure trackpoint, and configure on your needs

=== Hotswapping ===

{{HELP|We need someone who is able to get hotswaping to work properly, this is not the right was to do this!}}
With the new kernel, bay-drivers changed, so if you remove the ultrabay it will freeze your system! You can hack it with a simple comand, first you have to look where the device is:

{{cmduser|less /sys/class/scsi_device/(x)\:0\:0\:0/device/model}}

for (x) first put in 0, if it tells you DVD or the name of the model you want to hotswap youre right. if not, go on with 1, 2 or 3...

then, once you are sure (I deactivated my harddisk like that) you put in:

{{cmduser|echo 1 {{!}} sudo tee /sys/class/scsi_device/(x)\:0\:0\:0/device/delete}}

Now you should be able to remove the device.

{{WARN|Do not use it for harddisks, be sure you unmounted it before! This is just a bad hack, if anyone knows how to get it right --> publish!}}

If Ubuntu does not reactivate the device after putting it in again, do:

{{cmduser|echo 0 0 0 {{!}} sudo tee /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan}}

=== Wireless activity LED ===

The LED is not implemented at least in the IWL4965 driver.

A patch posted in this [http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1209 thread] works for me on R61 with IWL4965 card.

{{HELP|A howto is needed showing the process of implementing the patch in Hardy Heron. If anyone knows how to do this, please create a quick howto and either put it here or link to it from this page. Please and thank you.}}

As an alternative, you can install a backported IWL4965 driver that ''may'' fix the LED problem on your system.

To active WiFi LED,

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy

{{NOTE|On some machines, (at least one running IWL3945 & IWL4965) applying the above turns on the LED permanently. It should flicker as data is being transmitted. Also, with the above modification, after turning off wireless and then turning it back on (via the switch on the front of the machine) wireless is not reactivated, so not very helpful}}

=== Hidden SSID ===
It has been reported that users wanting to access Hidden SSIDs have to enter the SSID and password manually in Network Manager to connect. Even after the SSID is saved in Network Manager, it will not reconnect automatically. The user has to connect manually by entering the information as previously described. Please post any fixes here.

=== Hard Disk Parking ===
Getting hard disk parking to work is a 3 step process:

1. Patch your system with tp_smapi.

2. Patch your kernel with the 'protect' patch.

3. Installing the hdapsd daemon which does the actual parking.

See the following link for instructions on implementing Hard Disk Parking:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_protect_the_harddisk_through_APS

{{HELP|Patch is outdated. It won't work under Gutsy kernel due to API changes. Please attach link to working patch. }}

== some other tweaks ==

=== screenblank with {{key|Fn}} + {{key|F3}} ===

Its ok, and might be usefull to get the estimated batterytime when pressing {{key|Fn}}+{{key|F3}}, as it should be. But i dont need that, i find the earlier command for {{key|F3}}, to blank the screen more useful to save batterylife white fast.

For that, you must edit {{path|/etc/acpi/thinkpad-lockbattery.sh}} and replace LENOVO by IBM, and IBM by LENOVO :). Do not forget to copy the file before you change it!

=== Open Source Intel Wifi Driver ===
The following information is important if you are upgrading from a previous version of Ubuntu to 8.04.

Intel has created a new Linux Wifi driver project for Intel Wireless cards, "[[Iwlwifi]]". This driver is Open Source and no longer requires the Intel daemon to run in addition. This project will support the [[:Category:T61 | T61]]'s Wifi [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter | Intel 3945ABG network adapter]] and [[Intel PRO/Wireless 4965AGN Mini-PCI Express Adapter| Intel 4965AGN network adapter]].

An automatic migration will occur when upgrading from [[Installing Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) on a ThinkPad T61|Ubuntu 7.10]] to Ubuntu 8.04. However, there is a caveat to be aware of:
* The new driver wants to name the interface wlan0 (by default -- you can rename it to anything you want), and requires a different entry in {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules}}, which handles the naming of interfaces. Simply edit this file and delete your old entry for the ipw3945 driver, then unload/reload the new driver, or simply reboot. A new entry will automatically be created that is appropriate for the new driver. Here's an example of the lines to delete:
<pre>
# PCI device 0x8086:0x4227 (ipw3945)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:1b:77:a4:0e:2f", NAME="eth1"
</pre>

If you need to perform a manual migration, the Ubuntu Help Community has written some [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/iwlwifi_Intel_3945_4965/gutsy documentation] that will make this very easy to do.

=== Compiz and XV Playback on Intel GM965/GL960 ===

With Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) you currently have to choose between using Compiz and working video playback using XV. On 8.04 (Hardy Heron) alpha 5 you can play videos using XV under compiz, it works right out of the box using the Live-CD.

=== Suspend with Nv140m ===
Suspend may not work even after editing acpi-support. Enable bluetooth (Fn+F5) may result in a successful suspend. NOTE: that although the wifi led does not change when Fn+F5 is used, the wifi is still toggled by this key.

'''Hal "S3 BIOS" parameter issue!'''

After doing the changes to the /etc/default/acpi-support file (described [http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_7.10_(Gutsy_Gibbon)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61#How_to_Suspend_with_nVidia_140m.2F570m here]), I for one, managed to have '''stable''' suspend support by creating a new file called: '''/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi''' with the following contents:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>
{{NOTE|The problem (after reading the HAL and pm-utils documentations) is the fact that (as far as I can tell) the T61 Lenovo doesn't allow the S3 BIOS to be called *during* suspend/resume, which HAL seems to do by default (who knows, maybe there are T61s out there that do work with this default)!

This did not seem to be necessary for previous versions of Ubuntu. Also note that I have an NVIDIA card so I have no idea what to do for Intel versions.The change should also be resistant to HAL and pm-utils upgrades.}}

'''Still no suspend with nvs140m? Got Modell 6460?'''

Fix above didn't work for me on a 15.4 wide T61 Modell 6460 with nv140m. Bios is updated to 2.14 but didn't change anything, except the usb bug is fix. Suspend seems to work fine, but resume gives me a black screen (backlight off - no reaction to brightness up) and I can hear 2 beeps. Most of the time I can reboot with ctrl+alt+delete but the screen stays dark until bios.

follow the instructions above but create the new file called: '''/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi''' with the following contents instead:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>

Also you want to set the following parameter in

{{path|/etc/default/acpi-support}}
<pre>
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true
</pre>

{{NOTE|This works for me with mode 6460, except for one problem: You may get a white screen in xorg after resume when using compiz. If you don't have a 6460 with nvidia this file may break things for you because it doesn't care about the modell and sets the parameter for any lenovo product}}
{{HELP|Anyone with more knowledge of hal and acpi-support is welcome to clean this up. I also don't know why this setting can be done via hal and in acpi-support.
See below!}}

'''Working on hardy final'''

After trying out all these recipes on my 6457CTO waking up from suspend still did not work. Finally I came across a blog entry which pointed out the right way: [[http://david.goodlad.ca/2008/3/14/suspend-hibernate-on-lenovo-t61 David Goodlad's blog]]. I realized that all the fixes proposing editing the acpi-support file or adding a kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s3_mode must be wrong because since hardy gnome-power-manager gets its information solely from hal. So setting up correct hal information is the right way but the proposed solution (creating a /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi file) did not work for me. Ok, but now step by step:

# Revert ALL the proposed fixes from above. I found out that at least the lenovo.fdi solution is actually breaking the real fix. So for sure delete /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi
# Find out about the excact hal name of your machine: <pre>hal-device |grep 6457</pre> where 6457 is the model number of my t61, replace it with your own. In my case it spits out something like this: system.hardware.product = '6457CTO'. So now I know that hal identifies my machine as 6457CTO.
# <pre>sudo gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi</pre> and add a section to the end of the file, just above the </device> tag and replace 6457CTO with your hal device name:
<pre>

<match key="system.hardware.product" string="6457CTO">

<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

Now save and reboot. Now you might run into the problem of coming back from resume into a completely white screen where normally should be the password dialog. Entering your password blindly is not nice but at least you can resume.

{{NOTE|Somehow I couldn't make the wildcard matching work as they did in the lenovo.fdi solution, but that might be due to my shortcomings on that syntax. Anyway matching the device by its full name worked for me. Probably somebody who knows more about the matching could make that wildcard thing work to have a more general solution. Because hal also knows the xorg driver name (info.linux.driver) there should be a way to set up the quirks depending on the driver.}}

=== TrackPoint ===
The [[TrackPoint]] works out of the box, but does not scroll nor does the tap-clicking (press to select) feature work. Therefor see: [[#tap-to-click feature]] To enable using the middle mouse button to scroll, replace the "Configured Mouse" section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} with the following:

=== Audio ===

Works great out of the box, just the microphone has to be activated, it is considered a generic capture source and is muted by default.

To unmute the microphone:

*Right Click on the volume icon next to the clock and click on "Open Volume Control"

*Click Edit -> Preferences. A list of devices will be displayed, you should check the following (Do not uncheck any existing items):

Fix above didn't work for me on a 15.4 wide T61 Modell 6460 with nv140m. Bios is updated to 2.14 but didn't change anything, except the usb bug is fix. Suspend seems to work fine, but resume gives me a black screen (backlight off - no reaction to brightness up) and I can hear 2 beeps. Most of the time I can reboot with ctrl+alt+delete but the screen stays dark until bios.

follow the instructions above but create the new file called: '''/etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi''' with the following contents instead:
<pre>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="LENOVO">
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
</pre>

Also you want to set the following parameter in

{{path|/etc/default/acpi-support}}
<pre>
SAVE_VIDEO_PCI_STATE=true
</pre>

{{NOTE|This works for me with mode 6460, except for one problem: You may get a white screen in xorg after resume when using compiz. If you don't have a 6460 with nvidia this file may break things for you because it doesn't care about the modell and sets the parameter for any lenovo product}}
{{HELP|Anyone with more knowledge of hal and acpi-support is welcome to clean this up. I also don't know why this setting can be done via hal and in acpi-support}}

'''Working on hardy final'''

After trying out all these recipes on my 6457CTO waking up from suspend still did not work. Finally I came across a blog entry which pointed out the right way: [[http://david.goodlad.ca/2008/3/14/suspend-hibernate-on-lenovo-t61 David Goodlad's blog]]. I realized that all the fixes proposing editing the acpi-support file or adding a kernel parameter acpi_sleep=s3_mode must be wrong because since hardy gnome-power-manager gets its information solely from hal. So setting up correct hal information is the right way but the proposed solution (creating a /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi file) did not work for me. Ok, but now step by step:

# Revert ALL the proposed fixes from above. I found out that at least the lenovo.fdi solution is actually breaking the real fix. So for sure delete /etc/hal/fdi/information/lenovo.fdi
# Find out about the excact hal name of your machine: <pre>hal-device |grep 6457</pre> where 6457 is the model number of my t61, replace it with your own. In my case it spits out something like this: system.hardware.product = '6457CTO'. So now I know that hal identifies my machine as 6457CTO.
# <pre>sudo gedit /usr/share/hal/fdi/information/10freedesktop/20-video-quirk-pm-lenovo.fdi</pre> and add a section to the end of the file, just above the </device> tag and replace 6457CTO with your hal device name:
<pre>

<match key="system.hardware.product" string="6457CTO">

<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_mode" type="bool">true</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.s3_bios" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="power_management.quirk.save_pci" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</pre>

Now save and reboot. Now you might run into the problem of coming back from resume into a completely white screen where normally should be the password dialog. Entering your password blindly is not nice but at least you can resume.

{{NOTE|Somehow I couldn't make the wildcard matching work as they did in the lenovo.fdi solution, but that might be due to my shortcomings on that syntax. Anyway matching the device by its full name worked for me. Probably somebody who knows more about the matching could make that wildcard thing work to have a more general solution. Because hal also knows the xorg driver name (info.linux.driver) there should be a way to set up the quirks depending on the driver.}}

[[Category: T61]]

=== TrackPoint ===
The [[TrackPoint]] works out of the box, but does not scroll. To enable using the middle mouse button to scroll, replace the "Configured Mouse" section in
{{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}} with the following:
<pre>
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Trackpoint"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ImPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
Option "EmulateWheel" "true"
Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"
EndSection
</pre>

=== Audio ===

Works great out of the box, just the microphone has to be activated, it is considered a generic capture source and is muted by default.

To unmute the microphone:

*Right Click on the volume icon next to the clock and click on "Open Volume Control"

*Click Edit -> Preferences. A list of devices will be displayed, you should check the following (Do not uncheck any existing items):

Input Source
Capture

*Click Close and there should be two additional tabs "Recording" and "Options". -

*Click Recording and click on the microphone under the Capture slider so that it no longer has a red line through it, and put the slider up as it may be deactivated.

*Click Options and under capture source select internal mic.

To test your mic using Sound Recorder select Capture as the sound source.

This solution has been tested with Sound Recorder and Skype.

To get the volume controls working:

*add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base, then reboot

options snd-hda-intel index=0 model=thinkpad

{{NOTE|The volume controls worked fine for me out of the box on a 6460.}}

=== Multimedia Keys ===

Most Multimedia Keys work out of the box, just the play, forward and stop buttons need to be adjusted, therefore, press alt + F2 and type in gnome-keybinding-properties. Then everything works as followed:

* Fn-PgUp activates/deactivates the thinklight
* Fn-Up will trigger stop on a media player
* Fn-Down will toggle pause and play on a media player
* Fn-Left/Right go to prev/next tracks on a media player
* Fn-F2 properly locks the screen
* Fn-F3 shows remaining battery >>does not work on all machines<<
* Fn-F4 suspends (to ram)
* Fn-F9 ejects cds
* Fn-F12 hibernates (to disk)
* PrtSc opens the screenshot dialog

== Items that don't work (a.k.a.: items that need more intense tweaking to get fixed)==

=== Hotswapping ===

With the new kernel, bay-drivers changed, so if you remove the ultrabay it will freeze your system! You can hack it with a simple comand, first you have to look where the device is:

{{cmduser|less /sys/class/scsi_device/(x)\:0\:0\:0/device/model}}

for (x) first put in 0, if it tells you DVD or the name of the model you want to hotswap youre right. if not, go on with 1, 2 or 3...

then, once you are sure (I deactivated my harddisk like that) you put in:

{{cmduser|echo 1 {{!}} sudo tee /sys/class/scsi_device/(x)\:0\:0\:0/device/delete}}

Now you should be able to remove the device.

{{WARN|Do not use it for harddisks, be sure you unmounted it before! This is just a bad hack, if anyone knows how to get it right --> publish!}}

If Ubuntu does not reactivate the device after putting it in again, do:

{{cmduser|echo 0 0 0 {{!}} sudo tee /sys/class/scsi_host/host1/scan}}

=== Wireless activity LED ===

The LED is not implemented at least in the IWL4965 driver.

A patch posted in this [http://bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1209 thread] works for me on R61 with IWL4965 card.

{{HELP|A howto is needed showing the process of implementing the patch in Hardy Heron. If anyone knows how to do this, please create a quick howto and either put it here or link to it from this page. Please and thank you.}}

As an alternative, you can install a backported IWL4965 driver that ''may'' fix the LED problem on your system.

To active WiFi LED,

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy

{{NOTE|On some machines, (at least one running IWL3945) applying the above turns on the LED permanently. It should flicker as data is being transmitted. Also, with the above modification, after turning off wireless and then turning it back on (via the switch on the front of the machine) wireless is not reactivated.}}

=== Hidden SSID ===
It has been reported that users wanting to access Hidden SSIDs have to enter the SSID and password manually in Network Manager to connect. Even after the SSID is saved in Network Manager, it will not reconnect automatically. The user has to connect manually by entering the information as previously described. Please post any fixes here.

=== Hard Disk Parking ===
Getting hard disk parking to work is a 3 step process:

1. Patch your system with tp_smapi.

2. Patch your kernel with the 'protect' patch.

3. Installing the hdapsd daemon which does the actual parking.

See the following link for instructions on implementing Hard Disk Parking:
http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_protect_the_harddisk_through_APS

{{HELP|Patch is outdated. It won't work under Gutsy kernel due to API changes. Please attach link to working patch. }}
