This page maintains a database of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_Management_Interface DMI] information which can be used to identify ThinkPad models. It is intended as an aid for driver development.
{{HELP|We need more information about older models, especially those released before 2004. Please [[#Adding_entries|add your model]] to the database.}}
{{NOTE|If your ThinkPad is not using the [[BIOS Upgrade Downloads|latest BIOS]], and you would be willing to [[BIOS Upgrade|upgrade your BIOS]], please add your ThinkPad to this table twice: '''before''' and '''after''' the BIOS upgrade. This information helps us a great deal, so your contribution would be very appreciated.}}

Installing Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) on an X301

2008-12-21T05:52:06Z

Jacob: /* Install Intel xorg drivers from the Driver Testing Archive */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Overview==

Now that Intrepid is out the door, get it while it's fresh!

==Keyboard==

pretty much all of the fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)
tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

==Ethernet==

Works OOB

==Wireless==

Works OOB: The Ubuntu 8.10 Kernel (2.6.27) ships with support for the IWL5100 (''iwlagn'' driver)

==Fan==

Works fine. It is spinning lightly almost all the time, but acceptable (like in windows)

==Power Mgmt==

Seems to work fine. The gnome power manager reports ~3h30 which sounds about right. The [Fn] + [F3] combination even causes the applet to pop up info :)

==Display==

Works fine OOB

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Closing the lid puts the machine to sleep, i often managed to resume from ram but i also got frozen (mouse moveable but switching to console doesn't work, screen remains black except for the pointer (i have a black screensaver)) - caution here (solution below) -
The [[Installing_Debian_(stable)_on_an_X300#Suspend_.26_Hibernate]] article suggests removing the e1000e module which i haven't tried but may help.
The 2.6.28-rc3-git1 kernel features a suspend fix for the iwl-agn (wireless) driver, so if that was an issue, it might be gone with the next kernel (not shipped with ubuntu 8.10)

[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959712&page=2 This script] offers a solution to the black-freeze-on-resume problem. my suspend now works flawlessly

==Sound==

Works out of the box on the generic kernel, i've run into some trouble with my custom kernel - feel free to report on what i'm missing.
alsamixer reports the Conexant chip being used so i've selected that one in the snd-hda-intel driver (selecting them all didn't help either)

i haven't extensively tested this feature untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)
* microphone
* headphone

-works correct so far with pulseaudio

-headphone port works

==Camera==

works fine in ekiga (green LED lights up as well)
if it doesn't work you might want to try
sudo adduser youruser video

==Graphics Chipset and Driver Information==

'''GM45'''

The chipset is called: [http://support.intel.com/Products/Notebook/Chipsets/GM45/GM45-overview.htm Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset]

It was initially referred to as IGD_GM "Intel Integrated Graphics Device" in the Intel driver

Next, support for G4X "Intel 4 series chipsets" was added

IGD_GM was then renamed to it's official name GM45

Finally, the defines IS_GM45 were merged into IS_G4X because they are identical as at 2008-11-06.

'''Direct Rendering Infrastructure'''

DRI is supported with the package libgl1-mesa-dri

The DRI driver is i965 [http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Intel http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Intel]

$ grep AIGLX:\ Loaded /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so

The DRM driver is i915

$ lsmod | grep drm
drm 110304 3 i915

==External Displays==

vga port works as expected. you can activate it through xrandr or the screen resolution preferences.

with xrandr HDMI-1 shows up as well, but i couldn't test it yet (no adaptor/displayport device)

untested:
* displayport

Display port may not yet be supported by the intel driver: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/037375.html.
There have however been commits since then mentioning displayport.

The follow xorg.conf works with an external 24" dell display connected via VGA:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel GM45 Express"
Driver "intel"
Option "monitor-VGA" "DELL2407WFPHC"
Option "monitor-LVDS" "Laptop"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"

Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
# Option "Left Of" "Laptop" # causes crash on intel 2.5
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Laptop"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"

Option "Ignore" "true"

SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 3360 2100
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
EndSection

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works OOB, requires p

The Intel i965 driver supports 8192x8192 resolution in the Intrepid packages, however the mesa dri driver libgl1-mesa-dri currently only supports 2048x2048. This means is your combined resolution is greater than that (i.e you have an external display attached), mesa eyecandy will be disabled.

Bug link: [https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146298 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146298]

$ glxinfo -l | grep 2048
GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE = 2048

There is crude patch which has had mostly positive feedback, but no-one seems to be sure: [http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034707.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034707.html]. I've not tested it yet. It's also not clear when it will be fixed upstream.

==Boot time==

* 12sec from power to GRUB
* 22sec to GDM, 18sec with tweaked readahead
* 29sec from GDM into fully loaded session, 28sec with readahead (seems awfully slow to me.. fluxbox takes like 2sec..)

===Improvements===

====Native Upstart boot====

Since i'm using this one i even ditched boot-readahead (still using desktop-readahead though)
[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6158642&postcount=38 Described here]

====Concurent loading====

edit ''/etc/init.d/rc'' set ''CONCURRENCY'' from ''none'' to ''shell''
CONCURRENCY=shell

note that after some testing i've switched back to the ''none'' value, as some startups weren't clean

====Readahead====

install readahead
sudo apt-get install readahead

profile your GNOME login (instructions: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=565651], then filter out all files under 100kb (guessed number, feel free to experiment).
i filtered out small files since access times on SSD is very good, throughput not.
The linked page states about loading in ''Xsession.d'', forget about that and put your profiled files in ''/etc/readahead/boot'' and ''/etc/readahead/desktop''. This will cause the boot process to profit and the desktop-files to load earlier (before X starts)
to create a ''boot'' file, append "profile" to the GRUB prompt

filter out the small files
boot file:
cat boot | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > boot.sorted
now delete any line below the wanted threshold from the sorted file (i took "dash" as masker with 104kb)
since the boot file is ordered, we want to keep that order
cat boot | while read line; do grep "$line" boot.sorted >> boot.new; done;

same for the desktop file:
cat desktop | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > desktop.sorted
remove lines from sorted file...
cat desktop | while read line; do grep "$line" desktop.sorted >> desktop.new; done;

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AthenTec and not a Thompson chip.

==Minimalistic installation instructions==

The system you are installing when following these instructions will be a good starting point if you want a clean ubuntu system without all the bloat (which you may of course add yourself). For a simple installation just download and install the desktop version of ubuntu 8.10 (beta)

Boot from the ''Ubuntu Server'' AMD64 Disc (32bit also works, but what a waste)
select ''Install Ubuntu Server''

Choose language and country
Select Keyboard layout

Don't worry about network interface right now.. (only ubuntu 8.10 ''Beta'')
choose your hostname then username and password
change your proxy settings

At the software selection select:
* OpenSSH server
you might want the Samba Server if you're sharing files on a mixed network

wait for the install to complete (5 min)

Reboot without the CD

login to you new system and switch to root
sudo -s

if you're using the beta and your network, download a newer kernel (amd64) from (this will require a second machine or other OS if you have)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
copy it to usb stick

on the X301 mount usb stick with
mkdir /mnt/usb && mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usb

install kernel with
dpkg -i /mnt/usb/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.12_amd64.deb
umount /mnt/usb
reboot

if networking still doesn't work (try with ping google.com) edit the interfaces
nano /etc/network/interfaces

and add the line
iface eth0 inet dhcp

use [CTRL]+[X], [Y] to save and quite and start the interface
ifup eth0
it should now be ok...

now let's loose some fat:
apt-get remove --purge linux-image-server linux-image-2.6.27-4-server

<pre>
apt-get remove --purge apparmor update-motd landscape-common installation-report \
libapparmor* libgpm2 memtest86+ ppp pppconfig pppoeconf reiserfsprogs \
strace tasksel tasksel-data ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-serverguide

rm -rf /var/log/landscape
</pre>

and update the system with the newest upstream package catalog:
apt-get update

install sound:
apt-get install alsa

..and X
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

gdm:
apt-get install gnome-session gdm

and the network manager:
apt-get install network-manager-gnome

now upgrade the base system with:
apt-get dist-upgrade

if you added the line to fix networking, it is now time to remove it again from ''/etc/network/interfaces'' as NetworkManager will do that for us

reboot the machine
reboot

gdm should now appear and you may log in to X/Gnome

start synaptic from the gnome menu, you might want to add additional filters like

* Installed: check only "Installed"
* Upgradable: check only "Upgradable" (shows also upgradable packages which aren't upgraded to a new upstream version (i.e. only featuring ubuntu-specific patches)
* Residual Config: "Residual config"
* Orphaned: check only "Orphaned" (install deborphan package to use this)
* Autoremove: check only "Automatic removable"

if you know you'll need one of the following packages, don't delete it or just reinstall it later on.. they should all be safe to delete (at least my system still works)

select the "Installed" filter and remove (right click, then mark for complete removal):

* alacarte
* app-install-data
* aptitude
* apt-xapian-index
* cupsys
* ed
* esound-clients
* gnome-user-guide
* gnome-utils
* libbeagle1
* libmbca0
* ltrace
* mobile-broadband-provider-info
* mtr-tiny
* netcat netcat-traditional
* oss-compat
* parted popularity-contest
* python-beagle python-debian
* python-gnupginterface
* python-openssl
* python-pyopenssl
* python-software-properties
* python-twisted-bin
* python-twisted-core
* python-xapian
* python-zopeinterface
* radeontool
* rsync
* tcpd
* tcpdump
* ufw
* unattended-upgrades
* update-manager-core
* vim-tiny
* xdg-user-dirs
* xserver-xorg-input-all
* xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
* xserver-xorg-input-wacom

right now the system is pretty much stripped down and we can build up from here :)

some things i got from the missing-recommands tabs:
* acpid
* deborphan
* evince
* gnome-screensaver
* gnome-system-tools
* vim

once deborphan is installed:
delete anything from the custom filter ''orphaned''

what i also installed:
* evolution
* firefox
* mesa-utils (for glxgears)
* seahorse
* totem-gstreamer
* mozilla-plugin-gnash

what i still removed:
* gnome-pilot
* gnome-pilot-conduits

You may now want to install following packages:
* gnome-terminal
* gedit
* gcalctool
* cpufrequtils
* powertop
* system-config-printer-gnome (+ your printer driver)
* linux-firmware (or download the firmware yourself from linuxintelwireless.com, or extract iwlan-5000-1.ucode from that package and put it into /lib/firmware)
* libdvdcss from videolan.org/libdvdcss (read legal advices)

And remove those:
* libv4l-0
* libgtksourceview-common
* libgtksourceview1.0-0
* python-gnome2-desktop
* gnome-app-install

==Compiling custom fast-boot-patched kernel==

install these packages:
* libncurses5-dev
* make

Get most recent 2.6.27 kernel from [[http://www.kernel.org]]
untar it..
<pre>
sudo -s
cd /usr/src
tar xjf /home/foo/downloads/linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.27 linux
cd linux
</pre>

apply the [[Fastboot_Patch_2_6_27|Fastboot patch]] (there have been arguments about the implementation of this but it works fine for me)
patch -p1 < fastboot_2_6_27.diff

Get the kernel [[X301_kernel_config|.config file]] and put it inside the root of your kernel source. This will make a good start. Not that i did not include support for IPv6, firewall and PCMCIA so you'll need to add those if wanted.

What's NOT working:
* UUID-root partition

If sound is not working on your user (i.e. ''sudo alsamixer'' shows a device while just ''alsamixer'' (as your default user) doesen't) you'll need to
adduser youruser audio
log out and back into X and you'll have sound.

if you want to change the configuration:
make menuconfig

build the kernel:
make -j3

install kernel and modules:
make install
make modules_install

..adapt your ''/etc/grub/menu.lst'' file to boot the new kernel make sure to switch the ''root=UUID=..'' for ''root=/dev/sda1'' or you'll get a kernel panic when booting
(can someone explain this to me why UUID won't work (because of not using an initrd?))
also remove the initrd line.

mine looks like this:
<pre>
title Ubuntu (development branch), kernel 2.6.27
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 root=/dev/sda1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 ro quiet
quiet
</pre>

==Compiling intel xorg drivers==

Works OOB on ubuntu kernel - THIS IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS YOU'RE COMPILING YOUR OWN 2.4.27+ KERNEL -

With my shiny new kernel i wasn't able to start X as exa was failing.. so after some googling i recompiled the driver.
- this will hopefully be fixed before the final release - (it is fixed in the 2.5.0 driver, ubuntu currently has 2.4.1)

While this will work perfectly fine with the light new kernel, the generic ubuntu kernel displays ugly artifacts in firefox and gnome-terminal. So i'd rather wait if you're considering using the generic kernel.

You revert these changes by reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel and libdrm2 with
apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm2 libdrm-dev

Install these packages from apt
* automake
* xutils-dev
* libtool
* xserver-xorg-dev
* xorg-dev
* pkg-config
* mesa-common-dev
* (libdrm-dev) - currently also has to be compiled from source because of incompatibilities with intel's 2.5.0 driver

===libdrm===
Get the source from git:
<pre>
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm
cd drm
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
</pre>

now edit the "libtool" file and comment out the line with "directory not ending" aswell as the line before it. (won't install to /usr otherwise, only /usr/local)
<pre>
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

===xf86-video-intel===
<pre>
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ xf86-video-intel
cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

==Install Intel xorg drivers from the Driver Testing Archive==

xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2.5.1 is available from the following archive:

[http://ppa.launchpad.net/intel-gfx-testing/ubuntu http://ppa.launchpad.net/intel-gfx-testing/ubuntu]

==Other tweaks==
Don't start the rsync daemon at boot-time:
sudo update-rc.d -f rsync remove

Power-saving settings:
insert these lines into ''/etc/sysctl.conf''
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500

If you have lots of RAM (4Gb):
vm.swappiness=0

with 2Gb i recommand a value of 40 instead of 0

===Switch getty for mingetty===
Install mingetty
apt-get install mingetty
edit ''/etc/event.d/tty1'' through 6 and change the last line to
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
(you could add the ''--noclear'' switch on tty1 to leave the boot-messages)
also comment out the lines starting with
start on ...
if you do not wish to span ttyX (in my case 4..6)

edit ''/etc/default/console-setup'' and change
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-3]"
in my case 3, since i never need more than 3 TTYs

Select Keyboard layout

Don't worry about network interface right now.. (only ubuntu 8.10 ''Beta'')
choose your hostname then username and password
change your proxy settings

At the software selection select:
* OpenSSH server
you might want the Samba Server if you're sharing files on a mixed network

wait for the install to complete (5 min)

Reboot without the CD

login to you new system and switch to root
sudo -s

if you're using the beta and your network, download a newer kernel (amd64) from (this will require a second machine or other OS if you have)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
copy it to usb stick

on the X301 mount usb stick with
mkdir /mnt/usb && mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usb

install kernel with
dpkg -i /mnt/usb/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.12_amd64.deb
umount /mnt/usb
reboot

if networking still doesn't work (try with ping google.com) edit the interfaces
nano /etc/network/interfaces

and add the line
iface eth0 inet dhcp

use [CTRL]+[X], [Y] to save and quite and start the interface
ifup eth0
it should now be ok...

now let's loose some fat:
apt-get remove --purge linux-image-server linux-image-2.6.27-4-server

<pre>
apt-get remove --purge apparmor update-motd landscape-common installation-report \
libapparmor* libgpm2 memtest86+ ppp pppconfig pppoeconf reiserfsprogs \
strace tasksel tasksel-data ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-serverguide

rm -rf /var/log/landscape
</pre>

and update the system with the newest upstream package catalog:
apt-get update

install sound:
apt-get install alsa

..and X
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

gdm:
apt-get install gnome-session gdm

and the network manager:
apt-get install network-manager-gnome

now upgrade the base system with:
apt-get dist-upgrade

if you added the line to fix networking, it is now time to remove it again from ''/etc/network/interfaces'' as NetworkManager will do that for us

reboot the machine
reboot

gdm should now appear and you may log in to X/Gnome

start synaptic from the gnome menu, you might want to add additional filters like

* Installed: check only "Installed"
* Upgradable: check only "Upgradable" (shows also upgradable packages which aren't upgraded to a new upstream version (i.e. only featuring ubuntu-specific patches)
* Residual Config: "Residual config"
* Orphaned: check only "Orphaned" (install deborphan package to use this)
* Autoremove: check only "Automatic removable"

if you know you'll need one of the following packages, don't delete it or just reinstall it later on.. they should all be safe to delete (at least my system still works)

select the "Installed" filter and remove (right click, then mark for complete removal):

* alacarte
* app-install-data
* aptitude
* apt-xapian-index
* cupsys
* ed
* esound-clients
* gnome-user-guide
* gnome-utils
* libbeagle1
* libmbca0
* ltrace
* mobile-broadband-provider-info
* mtr-tiny
* netcat netcat-traditional
* oss-compat
* parted popularity-contest
* python-beagle python-debian
* python-gnupginterface
* python-openssl
* python-pyopenssl
* python-software-properties
* python-twisted-bin
* python-twisted-core
* python-xapian
* python-zopeinterface
* radeontool
* rsync
* tcpd
* tcpdump
* ufw
* unattended-upgrades
* update-manager-core
* vim-tiny
* xdg-user-dirs
* xserver-xorg-input-all
* xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
* xserver-xorg-input-wacom

right now the system is pretty much stripped down and we can build up from here :)

some things i got from the missing-recommands tabs:
* acpid
* deborphan
* evince
* gnome-screensaver
* gnome-system-tools
* vim

once deborphan is installed:
delete anything from the custom filter ''orphaned''

what i also installed:
* evolution
* firefox
* mesa-utils (for glxgears)
* seahorse
* totem-gstreamer
* mozilla-plugin-gnash

what i still removed:
* gnome-pilot
* gnome-pilot-conduits

You may now want to install following packages:
* gnome-terminal
* gedit
* gcalctool
* cpufrequtils
* powertop
* system-config-printer-gnome (+ your printer driver)
* linux-firmware (or download the firmware yourself from linuxintelwireless.com, or extract iwlan-5000-1.ucode from that package and put it into /lib/firmware)
* libdvdcss from videolan.org/libdvdcss (read legal advices)

And remove those:
* libv4l-0
* libgtksourceview-common
* libgtksourceview1.0-0
* python-gnome2-desktop
* gnome-app-install

==Compiling custom fast-boot-patched kernel==

install these packages:
* libncurses5-dev
* make

Get most recent 2.6.27 kernel from [[http://www.kernel.org]]
untar it..
<pre>
sudo -s
cd /usr/src
tar xjf /home/foo/downloads/linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.27 linux
cd linux
</pre>

apply the [[Fastboot_Patch_2_6_27|Fastboot patch]] (there have been arguments about the implementation of this but it works fine for me)
patch -p1 < fastboot_2_6_27.diff

Get the kernel [[X301_kernel_config|.config file]] and put it inside the root of your kernel source. This will make a good start. Not that i did not include support for IPv6, firewall and PCMCIA so you'll need to add those if wanted.

What's NOT working:
* UUID-root partition

If sound is not working on your user (i.e. ''sudo alsamixer'' shows a device while just ''alsamixer'' (as your default user) doesen't) you'll need to
adduser youruser audio
log out and back into X and you'll have sound.

if you want to change the configuration:
make menuconfig

build the kernel:
make -j3

install kernel and modules:
make install
make modules_install

..adapt your ''/etc/grub/menu.lst'' file to boot the new kernel make sure to switch the ''root=UUID=..'' for ''root=/dev/sda1'' or you'll get a kernel panic when booting
(can someone explain this to me why UUID won't work (because of not using an initrd?))
also remove the initrd line.

mine looks like this:
<pre>
title Ubuntu (development branch), kernel 2.6.27
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 root=/dev/sda1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 ro quiet
quiet
</pre>

==Compiling intel xorg drivers==

Works OOB on ubuntu kernel - THIS IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS YOU'RE COMPILING YOUR OWN 2.4.27+ KERNEL -

With my shiny new kernel i wasn't able to start X as exa was failing.. so after some googling i recompiled the driver.
- this will hopefully be fixed before the final release - (it is fixed in the 2.5.0 driver, ubuntu currently has 2.4.1)

While this will work perfectly fine with the light new kernel, the generic ubuntu kernel displays ugly artifacts in firefox and gnome-terminal. So i'd rather wait if you're considering using the generic kernel.

You revert these changes by reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel and libdrm2 with
apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm2 libdrm-dev

Install these packages from apt
* automake
* xutils-dev
* libtool
* xserver-xorg-dev
* xorg-dev
* pkg-config
* mesa-common-dev
* (libdrm-dev) - currently also has to be compiled from source because of incompatibilities with intel's 2.5.0 driver

===libdrm===
Get the source from git:
<pre>
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm
cd drm
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
</pre>

now edit the "libtool" file and comment out the line with "directory not ending" aswell as the line before it. (won't install to /usr otherwise, only /usr/local)
<pre>
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

===xf86-video-intel===
<pre>
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ xf86-video-intel
cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

==Other tweaks==
Don't start the rsync daemon at boot-time:
sudo update-rc.d -f rsync remove

Power-saving settings:
insert these lines into ''/etc/sysctl.conf''
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500

If you have lots of RAM (4Gb):
vm.swappiness=0

with 2Gb i recommand a value of 40 instead of 0

===Switch getty for mingetty===
Install mingetty
apt-get install mingetty
edit ''/etc/event.d/tty1'' through 6 and change the last line to
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
(you could add the ''--noclear'' switch on tty1 to leave the boot-messages)
also comment out the lines starting with
start on ...
if you do not wish to span ttyX (in my case 4..6)

edit ''/etc/default/console-setup'' and change
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-3]"
in my case 3, since i never need more than 3 TTYs

Installing Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) on an X301

2008-12-21T05:43:00Z

Jacob: Added graphics version driver info

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Overview==

Now that Intrepid is out the door, get it while it's fresh!

==Keyboard==

pretty much all of the fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)
tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

==Ethernet==

Works OOB

==Wireless==

Works OOB: The Ubuntu 8.10 Kernel (2.6.27) ships with support for the IWL5100 (''iwlagn'' driver)

==Fan==

Works fine. It is spinning lightly almost all the time, but acceptable (like in windows)

==Power Mgmt==

Seems to work fine. The gnome power manager reports ~3h30 which sounds about right. The [Fn] + [F3] combination even causes the applet to pop up info :)

==Display==

Works fine OOB

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Closing the lid puts the machine to sleep, i often managed to resume from ram but i also got frozen (mouse moveable but switching to console doesn't work, screen remains black except for the pointer (i have a black screensaver)) - caution here (solution below) -
The [[Installing_Debian_(stable)_on_an_X300#Suspend_.26_Hibernate]] article suggests removing the e1000e module which i haven't tried but may help.
The 2.6.28-rc3-git1 kernel features a suspend fix for the iwl-agn (wireless) driver, so if that was an issue, it might be gone with the next kernel (not shipped with ubuntu 8.10)

[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959712&page=2 This script] offers a solution to the black-freeze-on-resume problem. my suspend now works flawlessly

==Sound==

Works out of the box on the generic kernel, i've run into some trouble with my custom kernel - feel free to report on what i'm missing.
alsamixer reports the Conexant chip being used so i've selected that one in the snd-hda-intel driver (selecting them all didn't help either)

i haven't extensively tested this feature untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)
* microphone
* headphone

-works correct so far with pulseaudio

-headphone port works

==Camera==

works fine in ekiga (green LED lights up as well)
if it doesn't work you might want to try
sudo adduser youruser video

==Graphics Chipset and Driver Information==

'''GM45'''

The chipset is called: [http://support.intel.com/Products/Notebook/Chipsets/GM45/GM45-overview.htm Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset]

It was initially referred to as IGD_GM "Intel Integrated Graphics Device" in the Intel driver

Next, support for G4X "Intel 4 series chipsets" was added

IGD_GM was then renamed to it's official name GM45

Finally, the defines IS_GM45 were merged into IS_G4X because they are identical as at 2008-11-06.

'''Direct Rendering Infrastructure'''

DRI is supported with the package libgl1-mesa-dri

The DRI driver is i965 [http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Intel http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Intel]

$ grep AIGLX:\ Loaded /var/log/Xorg.0.log
(II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized /usr/lib/dri/i965_dri.so

The DRM driver is i915

$ lsmod | grep drm
drm 110304 3 i915

==External Displays==

vga port works as expected. you can activate it through xrandr or the screen resolution preferences.

with xrandr HDMI-1 shows up as well, but i couldn't test it yet (no adaptor/displayport device)

untested:
* displayport

Display port may not yet be supported by the intel driver: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/037375.html.
There have however been commits since then mentioning displayport.

The follow xorg.conf works with an external 24" dell display connected via VGA:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel GM45 Express"
Driver "intel"
Option "monitor-VGA" "DELL2407WFPHC"
Option "monitor-LVDS" "Laptop"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DELL2407WFPHC"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
# Option "Left Of" "Laptop" # causes crash on intel 2.5
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Laptop"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI-1"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Intel GM45 Express"
Monitor "Laptop"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 3360 2100
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
EndSection

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works OOB, requires p

The Intel i965 driver supports 8192x8192 resolution in the Intrepid packages, however the mesa dri driver libgl1-mesa-dri currently only supports 2048x2048. This means is your combined resolution is greater than that (i.e you have an external display attached), mesa eyecandy will be disabled.
Bug link: [https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146298 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146298]

There is crude patch which has had mostly positive feedback, but no-one seems to be sure: [http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034707.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034707.html]. I've not tested it yet. It's also not clear when it will be fixed upstream.

==Boot time==

* 12sec from power to GRUB
* 22sec to GDM, 18sec with tweaked readahead
* 29sec from GDM into fully loaded session, 28sec with readahead (seems awfully slow to me.. fluxbox takes like 2sec..)

===Improvements===

====Native Upstart boot====

Since i'm using this one i even ditched boot-readahead (still using desktop-readahead though)
[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6158642&postcount=38 Described here]

====Concurent loading====

edit ''/etc/init.d/rc'' set ''CONCURRENCY'' from ''none'' to ''shell''
CONCURRENCY=shell

note that after some testing i've switched back to the ''none'' value, as some startups weren't clean

====Readahead====

install readahead
sudo apt-get install readahead

profile your GNOME login (instructions: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=565651], then filter out all files under 100kb (guessed number, feel free to experiment).
i filtered out small files since access times on SSD is very good, throughput not.
The linked page states about loading in ''Xsession.d'', forget about that and put your profiled files in ''/etc/readahead/boot'' and ''/etc/readahead/desktop''. This will cause the boot process to profit and the desktop-files to load earlier (before X starts)
to create a ''boot'' file, append "profile" to the GRUB prompt

filter out the small files
boot file:
cat boot | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > boot.sorted
now delete any line below the wanted threshold from the sorted file (i took "dash" as masker with 104kb)
since the boot file is ordered, we want to keep that order
cat boot | while read line; do grep "$line" boot.sorted >> boot.new; done;

same for the desktop file:
cat desktop | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > desktop.sorted
remove lines from sorted file...
cat desktop | while read line; do grep "$line" desktop.sorted >> desktop.new; done;

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AthenTec and not a Thompson chip.

==Minimalistic installation instructions==

The system you are installing when following these instructions will be a good starting point if you want a clean ubuntu system without all the bloat (which you may of course add yourself). For a simple installation just download and install the desktop version of ubuntu 8.10 (beta)

Boot from the ''Ubuntu Server'' AMD64 Disc (32bit also works, but what a waste)
select ''Install Ubuntu Server''

Choose language and country
Select Keyboard layout

Don't worry about network interface right now.. (only ubuntu 8.10 ''Beta'')
choose your hostname then username and password
change your proxy settings

At the software selection select:
* OpenSSH server
you might want the Samba Server if you're sharing files on a mixed network

wait for the install to complete (5 min)

Reboot without the CD

login to you new system and switch to root
sudo -s

if you're using the beta and your network, download a newer kernel (amd64) from (this will require a second machine or other OS if you have)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
copy it to usb stick

on the X301 mount usb stick with
mkdir /mnt/usb && mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usb

install kernel with
dpkg -i /mnt/usb/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.12_amd64.deb
umount /mnt/usb
reboot

if networking still doesn't work (try with ping google.com) edit the interfaces
nano /etc/network/interfaces

and add the line
iface eth0 inet dhcp

use [CTRL]+[X], [Y] to save and quite and start the interface
ifup eth0
it should now be ok...

now let's loose some fat:
apt-get remove --purge linux-image-server linux-image-2.6.27-4-server

<pre>
apt-get remove --purge apparmor update-motd landscape-common installation-report \
libapparmor* libgpm2 memtest86+ ppp pppconfig pppoeconf reiserfsprogs \
strace tasksel tasksel-data ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-serverguide

rm -rf /var/log/landscape
</pre>

and update the system with the newest upstream package catalog:
apt-get update

install sound:
apt-get install alsa

..and X
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

gdm:
apt-get install gnome-session gdm

and the network manager:
apt-get install network-manager-gnome

now upgrade the base system with:
apt-get dist-upgrade

if you added the line to fix networking, it is now time to remove it again from ''/etc/network/interfaces'' as NetworkManager will do that for us

reboot the machine
reboot

gdm should now appear and you may log in to X/Gnome

start synaptic from the gnome menu, you might want to add additional filters like

* Installed: check only "Installed"
* Upgradable: check only "Upgradable" (shows also upgradable packages which aren't upgraded to a new upstream version (i.e. only featuring ubuntu-specific patches)
* Residual Config: "Residual config"
* Orphaned: check only "Orphaned" (install deborphan package to use this)
* Autoremove: check only "Automatic removable"

if you know you'll need one of the following packages, don't delete it or just reinstall it later on.. they should all be safe to delete (at least my system still works)

select the "Installed" filter and remove (right click, then mark for complete removal):

* alacarte
* app-install-data
* aptitude
* apt-xapian-index
* cupsys
* ed
* esound-clients
* gnome-user-guide
* gnome-utils
* libbeagle1
* libmbca0
* ltrace
* mobile-broadband-provider-info
* mtr-tiny
* netcat netcat-traditional
* oss-compat
* parted popularity-contest
* python-beagle python-debian
* python-gnupginterface
* python-openssl
* python-pyopenssl
* python-software-properties
* python-twisted-bin
* python-twisted-core
* python-xapian
* python-zopeinterface
* radeontool
* rsync
* tcpd
* tcpdump
* ufw
* unattended-upgrades
* update-manager-core
* vim-tiny
* xdg-user-dirs
* xserver-xorg-input-all
* xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
* xserver-xorg-input-wacom

right now the system is pretty much stripped down and we can build up from here :)

some things i got from the missing-recommands tabs:
* acpid
* deborphan
* evince
* gnome-screensaver
* gnome-system-tools
* vim

once deborphan is installed:
delete anything from the custom filter ''orphaned''

what i also installed:
* evolution
* firefox
* mesa-utils (for glxgears)
* seahorse
* totem-gstreamer
* mozilla-plugin-gnash

what i still removed:
* gnome-pilot
* gnome-pilot-conduits

You may now want to install following packages:
* gnome-terminal
* gedit
* gcalctool
* cpufrequtils
* powertop
* system-config-printer-gnome (+ your printer driver)
* linux-firmware (or download the firmware yourself from linuxintelwireless.com, or extract iwlan-5000-1.ucode from that package and put it into /lib/firmware)
* libdvdcss from videolan.org/libdvdcss (read legal advices)

And remove those:
* libv4l-0
* libgtksourceview-common
* libgtksourceview1.0-0
* python-gnome2-desktop
* gnome-app-install

==Compiling custom fast-boot-patched kernel==

install these packages:
* libncurses5-dev
* make

Get most recent 2.6.27 kernel from [[http://www.kernel.org]]
untar it..
<pre>
sudo -s
cd /usr/src
tar xjf /home/foo/downloads/linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.27 linux
cd linux
</pre>

apply the [[Fastboot_Patch_2_6_27|Fastboot patch]] (there have been arguments about the implementation of this but it works fine for me)
patch -p1 < fastboot_2_6_27.diff

Get the kernel [[X301_kernel_config|.config file]] and put it inside the root of your kernel source. This will make a good start. Not that i did not include support for IPv6, firewall and PCMCIA so you'll need to add those if wanted.

What's NOT working:
* UUID-root partition

If sound is not working on your user (i.e. ''sudo alsamixer'' shows a device while just ''alsamixer'' (as your default user) doesen't) you'll need to
adduser youruser audio
log out and back into X and you'll have sound.

if you want to change the configuration:
make menuconfig

build the kernel:
make -j3

install kernel and modules:
make install
make modules_install

..adapt your ''/etc/grub/menu.lst'' file to boot the new kernel make sure to switch the ''root=UUID=..'' for ''root=/dev/sda1'' or you'll get a kernel panic when booting
(can someone explain this to me why UUID won't work (because of not using an initrd?))
also remove the initrd line.

mine looks like this:
<pre>
title Ubuntu (development branch), kernel 2.6.27
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 root=/dev/sda1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 ro quiet
quiet
</pre>

==Compiling intel xorg drivers==

Works OOB on ubuntu kernel - THIS IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS YOU'RE COMPILING YOUR OWN 2.4.27+ KERNEL -

* xserver-xorg-dev
* xorg-dev
* pkg-config
* mesa-common-dev

===libdrm===
Get the source from git:
<pre>
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm
cd drm
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
</pre>

now edit the "libtool" file and comment out the line with "directory not ending" aswell as the line before it. (won't install to /usr otherwise, only /usr/local)
<pre>
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

===xf86-video-intel===
<pre>
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ xf86-video-intel
cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

==Other tweaks==
Don't start the rsync daemon at boot-time:
sudo update-rc.d -f rsync remove

Power-saving settings:
insert these lines into ''/etc/sysctl.conf''
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500

If you have lots of RAM (4Gb):
vm.swappiness=0

with 2Gb i recommand a value of 40 instead of 0

===Switch getty for mingetty===
Install mingetty
apt-get install mingetty
edit ''/etc/event.d/tty1'' through 6 and change the last line to
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
(you could add the ''--noclear'' switch on tty1 to leave the boot-messages)

Works OOB: The Ubuntu 8.10 Kernel (2.6.27) ships with support for the IWL5100 (''iwlagn'' driver)

==Fan==

Works fine. It is spinning lightly almost all the time, but acceptable (like in windows)

==Power Mgmt==

Seems to work fine. The gnome power manager reports ~3h30 which sounds about right. The [Fn] + [F3] combination even causes the applet to pop up info :)

==Display==

Works fine OOB

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Closing the lid puts the machine to sleep, i often managed to resume from ram but i also got frozen (mouse moveable but switching to console doesn't work, screen remains black except for the pointer (i have a black screensaver)) - caution here (solution below) -
The [[Installing_Debian_(stable)_on_an_X300#Suspend_.26_Hibernate]] article suggests removing the e1000e module which i haven't tried but may help.
The 2.6.28-rc3-git1 kernel features a suspend fix for the iwl-agn (wireless) driver, so if that was an issue, it might be gone with the next kernel (not shipped with ubuntu 8.10)

[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959712&page=2 This script] offers a solution to the black-freeze-on-resume problem. my suspend now works flawlessly

==Sound==

Works out of the box on the generic kernel, i've run into some trouble with my custom kernel - feel free to report on what i'm missing.
alsamixer reports the Conexant chip being used so i've selected that one in the snd-hda-intel driver (selecting them all didn't help either)

i haven't extensively tested this feature untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)
* microphone
* headphone

-works correct so far with pulseaudio

-headphone port works

==Camera==

works fine in ekiga (green LED lights up as well)
if it doesn't work you might want to try
sudo adduser youruser video

==External Displays==

vga port works as expected. you can activate it through xrandr or the screen resolution preferences.

with xrandr HDMI-1 shows up as well, but i couldn't test it yet (no adaptor/displayport device)

untested:
* displayport

Display port may not yet be supported by the intel driver: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/037375.html.
There have however been commits since then mentioning displayport.

The follow xorg.conf works with an external 24" dell display connected via VGA:

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works OOB, requires p

The Intel i965 driver supports 8192x8192 resolution in the Intrepid packages, however the mesa dri driver libgl1-mesa-dri currently only supports 2048x2048. This means is your combined resolution is greater than that (i.e you have an external display attached), mesa eyecandy will be disabled.
Bug link: [https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146298 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/146298]

There is crude patch which has had mostly positive feedback, but no-one seems to be sure: [http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034707.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-April/034707.html]. I've not tested it yet. It's also not clear when it will be fixed upstream.

==Boot time==

* 12sec from power to GRUB
* 22sec to GDM, 18sec with tweaked readahead
* 29sec from GDM into fully loaded session, 28sec with readahead (seems awfully slow to me.. fluxbox takes like 2sec..)

===Improvements===

====Native Upstart boot====

Since i'm using this one i even ditched boot-readahead (still using desktop-readahead though)
[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6158642&postcount=38 Described here]

====Concurent loading====

edit ''/etc/init.d/rc'' set ''CONCURRENCY'' from ''none'' to ''shell''
CONCURRENCY=shell

note that after some testing i've switched back to the ''none'' value, as some startups weren't clean

====Readahead====

install readahead
sudo apt-get install readahead

profile your GNOME login (instructions: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=565651], then filter out all files under 100kb (guessed number, feel free to experiment).
i filtered out small files since access times on SSD is very good, throughput not.
The linked page states about loading in ''Xsession.d'', forget about that and put your profiled files in ''/etc/readahead/boot'' and ''/etc/readahead/desktop''. This will cause the boot process to profit and the desktop-files to load earlier (before X starts)
to create a ''boot'' file, append "profile" to the GRUB prompt

filter out the small files
boot file:
cat boot | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > boot.sorted
now delete any line below the wanted threshold from the sorted file (i took "dash" as masker with 104kb)
since the boot file is ordered, we want to keep that order
cat boot | while read line; do grep "$line" boot.sorted >> boot.new; done;

same for the desktop file:
cat desktop | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > desktop.sorted
remove lines from sorted file...
cat desktop | while read line; do grep "$line" desktop.sorted >> desktop.new; done;

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AthenTec and not a Thompson chip.

==Minimalistic installation instructions==

The system you are installing when following these instructions will be a good starting point if you want a clean ubuntu system without all the bloat (which you may of course add yourself). For a simple installation just download and install the desktop version of ubuntu 8.10 (beta)

Boot from the ''Ubuntu Server'' AMD64 Disc (32bit also works, but what a waste)
select ''Install Ubuntu Server''

Choose language and country
Select Keyboard layout

Don't worry about network interface right now.. (only ubuntu 8.10 ''Beta'')
choose your hostname then username and password
change your proxy settings

At the software selection select:
* OpenSSH server
you might want the Samba Server if you're sharing files on a mixed network

wait for the install to complete (5 min)

Reboot without the CD

login to you new system and switch to root
sudo -s

if you're using the beta and your network, download a newer kernel (amd64) from (this will require a second machine or other OS if you have)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
copy it to usb stick

on the X301 mount usb stick with
mkdir /mnt/usb && mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usb

install kernel with
dpkg -i /mnt/usb/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.12_amd64.deb
umount /mnt/usb
reboot

if networking still doesn't work (try with ping google.com) edit the interfaces
nano /etc/network/interfaces

and add the line
iface eth0 inet dhcp

use [CTRL]+[X], [Y] to save and quite and start the interface
ifup eth0
it should now be ok...

now let's loose some fat:
apt-get remove --purge linux-image-server linux-image-2.6.27-4-server

<pre>
apt-get remove --purge apparmor update-motd landscape-common installation-report \
libapparmor* libgpm2 memtest86+ ppp pppconfig pppoeconf reiserfsprogs \
strace tasksel tasksel-data ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-serverguide

rm -rf /var/log/landscape
</pre>

and update the system with the newest upstream package catalog:
apt-get update

install sound:
apt-get install alsa

..and X
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

gdm:
apt-get install gnome-session gdm

and the network manager:
apt-get install network-manager-gnome

now upgrade the base system with:
apt-get dist-upgrade

if you added the line to fix networking, it is now time to remove it again from ''/etc/network/interfaces'' as NetworkManager will do that for us

reboot the machine
reboot

gdm should now appear and you may log in to X/Gnome

start synaptic from the gnome menu, you might want to add additional filters like

* Installed: check only "Installed"
* Upgradable: check only "Upgradable" (shows also upgradable packages which aren't upgraded to a new upstream version (i.e. only featuring ubuntu-specific patches)
* Residual Config: "Residual config"
* Orphaned: check only "Orphaned" (install deborphan package to use this)
* Autoremove: check only "Automatic removable"

if you know you'll need one of the following packages, don't delete it or just reinstall it later on.. they should all be safe to delete (at least my system still works)

select the "Installed" filter and remove (right click, then mark for complete removal):

* alacarte
* app-install-data
* aptitude
* apt-xapian-index
* cupsys
* ed
* esound-clients
* gnome-user-guide
* gnome-utils
* libbeagle1
* libmbca0
* ltrace
* mobile-broadband-provider-info
* mtr-tiny
* netcat netcat-traditional
* oss-compat
* parted popularity-contest
* python-beagle python-debian
* python-gnupginterface
* python-openssl
* python-pyopenssl
* python-software-properties
* python-twisted-bin
* python-twisted-core
* python-xapian
* python-zopeinterface
* radeontool
* rsync
* tcpd
* tcpdump
* ufw
* unattended-upgrades
* update-manager-core
* vim-tiny
* xdg-user-dirs
* xserver-xorg-input-all
* xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
* xserver-xorg-input-wacom

right now the system is pretty much stripped down and we can build up from here :)

some things i got from the missing-recommands tabs:
* acpid
* deborphan
* evince
* gnome-screensaver
* gnome-system-tools
* vim

once deborphan is installed:
delete anything from the custom filter ''orphaned''

what i also installed:
* evolution
* firefox
* mesa-utils (for glxgears)
* seahorse
* totem-gstreamer
* mozilla-plugin-gnash

what i still removed:
* gnome-pilot
* gnome-pilot-conduits

You may now want to install following packages:
* gnome-terminal
* gedit
* gcalctool
* cpufrequtils
* powertop
* system-config-printer-gnome (+ your printer driver)
* linux-firmware (or download the firmware yourself from linuxintelwireless.com, or extract iwlan-5000-1.ucode from that package and put it into /lib/firmware)
* libdvdcss from videolan.org/libdvdcss (read legal advices)

And remove those:
* libv4l-0
* libgtksourceview-common
* libgtksourceview1.0-0
* python-gnome2-desktop
* gnome-app-install

==Compiling custom fast-boot-patched kernel==

install these packages:
* libncurses5-dev
* make

Get most recent 2.6.27 kernel from [[http://www.kernel.org]]
untar it..
<pre>
sudo -s
cd /usr/src
tar xjf /home/foo/downloads/linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.27 linux
cd linux
</pre>

apply the [[Fastboot_Patch_2_6_27|Fastboot patch]] (there have been arguments about the implementation of this but it works fine for me)
patch -p1 < fastboot_2_6_27.diff

Get the kernel [[X301_kernel_config|.config file]] and put it inside the root of your kernel source. This will make a good start. Not that i did not include support for IPv6, firewall and PCMCIA so you'll need to add those if wanted.

What's NOT working:
* UUID-root partition

If sound is not working on your user (i.e. ''sudo alsamixer'' shows a device while just ''alsamixer'' (as your default user) doesen't) you'll need to
adduser youruser audio
log out and back into X and you'll have sound.

if you want to change the configuration:
make menuconfig

build the kernel:
make -j3

install kernel and modules:
make install
make modules_install

..adapt your ''/etc/grub/menu.lst'' file to boot the new kernel make sure to switch the ''root=UUID=..'' for ''root=/dev/sda1'' or you'll get a kernel panic when booting
(can someone explain this to me why UUID won't work (because of not using an initrd?))
also remove the initrd line.

mine looks like this:
<pre>
title Ubuntu (development branch), kernel 2.6.27
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 root=/dev/sda1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 ro quiet
quiet
</pre>

==Compiling intel xorg drivers==

Works OOB on ubuntu kernel - THIS IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS YOU'RE COMPILING YOUR OWN 2.4.27+ KERNEL -

With my shiny new kernel i wasn't able to start X as exa was failing.. so after some googling i recompiled the driver.
- this will hopefully be fixed before the final release - (it is fixed in the 2.5.0 driver, ubuntu currently has 2.4.1)

While this will work perfectly fine with the light new kernel, the generic ubuntu kernel displays ugly artifacts in firefox and gnome-terminal. So i'd rather wait if you're considering using the generic kernel.

You revert these changes by reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel and libdrm2 with
apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm2 libdrm-dev

Install these packages from apt
* automake
* xutils-dev
* libtool
* xserver-xorg-dev
* xorg-dev
* pkg-config
* mesa-common-dev
* (libdrm-dev) - currently also has to be compiled from source because of incompatibilities with intel's 2.5.0 driver

===libdrm===
Get the source from git:
<pre>
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm
cd drm
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
</pre>

now edit the "libtool" file and comment out the line with "directory not ending" aswell as the line before it. (won't install to /usr otherwise, only /usr/local)
<pre>
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

===xf86-video-intel===
<pre>
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ xf86-video-intel
cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

==Other tweaks==
Don't start the rsync daemon at boot-time:
sudo update-rc.d -f rsync remove

Power-saving settings:
insert these lines into ''/etc/sysctl.conf''
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500

If you have lots of RAM (4Gb):
vm.swappiness=0

with 2Gb i recommand a value of 40 instead of 0

===Switch getty for mingetty===
Install mingetty
apt-get install mingetty
edit ''/etc/event.d/tty1'' through 6 and change the last line to
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
(you could add the ''--noclear'' switch on tty1 to leave the boot-messages)
also comment out the lines starting with
start on ...
if you do not wish to span ttyX (in my case 4..6)

edit ''/etc/default/console-setup'' and change
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-3]"
in my case 3, since i never need more than 3 TTYs

Installing Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) on an X301

2008-12-21T03:00:00Z

Jacob: /* Compiz / 3D Acceleration */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Overview==

Now that Intrepid is out the door, get it while it's fresh!

==Keyboard==

pretty much all of the fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)
tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

==Ethernet==

Works OOB

==Wireless==

Works OOB: The Ubuntu 8.10 Kernel (2.6.27) ships with support for the IWL5100 (''iwlagn'' driver)

==Fan==

Works fine. It is spinning lightly almost all the time, but acceptable (like in windows)

==Power Mgmt==

Seems to work fine. The gnome power manager reports ~3h30 which sounds about right. The [Fn] + [F3] combination even causes the applet to pop up info :)

==Display==

Works fine OOB

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Closing the lid puts the machine to sleep, i often managed to resume from ram but i also got frozen (mouse moveable but switching to console doesn't work, screen remains black except for the pointer (i have a black screensaver)) - caution here (solution below) -
The [[Installing_Debian_(stable)_on_an_X300#Suspend_.26_Hibernate]] article suggests removing the e1000e module which i haven't tried but may help.
The 2.6.28-rc3-git1 kernel features a suspend fix for the iwl-agn (wireless) driver, so if that was an issue, it might be gone with the next kernel (not shipped with ubuntu 8.10)

[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959712&page=2 This script] offers a solution to the black-freeze-on-resume problem. my suspend now works flawlessly

==Sound==

Works out of the box on the generic kernel, i've run into some trouble with my custom kernel - feel free to report on what i'm missing.
alsamixer reports the Conexant chip being used so i've selected that one in the snd-hda-intel driver (selecting them all didn't help either)

i haven't extensively tested this feature untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)
* microphone
* headphone

-works correct so far with pulseaudio

-headphone port works

==Camera==

works fine in ekiga (green LED lights up as well)
if it doesn't work you might want to try
sudo adduser youruser video

==External Displays==

vga port works as expected. you can activate it through xrandr or the screen resolution preferences.

with xrandr HDMI-1 shows up as well, but i couldn't test it yet (no adaptor/displayport device)

untested:
* displayport

Display port may not yet be supported by the intel driver: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/037375.html.
There have however been commits since then mentioning displayport.

The follow xorg.conf works with an external 24" dell display connected via VGA:

EndSection

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works OOB, requires p

The Intel i965 driver supports 8192x8192 resolution in the Intrepid packages, however the mesa dri driver libgl1-mesa-dri currently only supports 2048x2048. This means is your combined resolution is greater than that (i.e you have an external display attached), mesa eyecandy will be disabled.

* python-gnome2-desktop
* gnome-app-install

==Compiling custom fast-boot-patched kernel==

install these packages:
* libncurses5-dev
* make

Get most recent 2.6.27 kernel from [[http://www.kernel.org]]
untar it..
<pre>
sudo -s
cd /usr/src
tar xjf /home/foo/downloads/linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.27 linux
cd linux
</pre>

apply the [[Fastboot_Patch_2_6_27|Fastboot patch]] (there have been arguments about the implementation of this but it works fine for me)
patch -p1 < fastboot_2_6_27.diff

Get the kernel [[X301_kernel_config|.config file]] and put it inside the root of your kernel source. This will make a good start. Not that i did not include support for IPv6, firewall and PCMCIA so you'll need to add those if wanted.

What's NOT working:
* UUID-root partition

If sound is not working on your user (i.e. ''sudo alsamixer'' shows a device while just ''alsamixer'' (as your default user) doesen't) you'll need to
adduser youruser audio
log out and back into X and you'll have sound.

if you want to change the configuration:
make menuconfig

build the kernel:
make -j3

install kernel and modules:
make install
make modules_install

..adapt your ''/etc/grub/menu.lst'' file to boot the new kernel make sure to switch the ''root=UUID=..'' for ''root=/dev/sda1'' or you'll get a kernel panic when booting
(can someone explain this to me why UUID won't work (because of not using an initrd?))
also remove the initrd line.

mine looks like this:
<pre>
title Ubuntu (development branch), kernel 2.6.27
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 root=/dev/sda1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 ro quiet
quiet
</pre>

==Compiling intel xorg drivers==

Works OOB on ubuntu kernel - THIS IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS YOU'RE COMPILING YOUR OWN 2.4.27+ KERNEL -

With my shiny new kernel i wasn't able to start X as exa was failing.. so after some googling i recompiled the driver.
- this will hopefully be fixed before the final release - (it is fixed in the 2.5.0 driver, ubuntu currently has 2.4.1)

While this will work perfectly fine with the light new kernel, the generic ubuntu kernel displays ugly artifacts in firefox and gnome-terminal. So i'd rather wait if you're considering using the generic kernel.

You revert these changes by reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel and libdrm2 with
apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm2 libdrm-dev

Install these packages from apt
* automake
* xutils-dev
* libtool
* xserver-xorg-dev
* xorg-dev
* pkg-config
* mesa-common-dev
* (libdrm-dev) - currently also has to be compiled from source because of incompatibilities with intel's 2.5.0 driver

===libdrm===
Get the source from git:
<pre>
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm
cd drm
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
</pre>

now edit the "libtool" file and comment out the line with "directory not ending" aswell as the line before it. (won't install to /usr otherwise, only /usr/local)
<pre>
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

===xf86-video-intel===
<pre>
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ xf86-video-intel
cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

==Other tweaks==
Don't start the rsync daemon at boot-time:
sudo update-rc.d -f rsync remove

Power-saving settings:
insert these lines into ''/etc/sysctl.conf''
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500

If you have lots of RAM (4Gb):
vm.swappiness=0

with 2Gb i recommand a value of 40 instead of 0

===Switch getty for mingetty===
Install mingetty
apt-get install mingetty
edit ''/etc/event.d/tty1'' through 6 and change the last line to
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
(you could add the ''--noclear'' switch on tty1 to leave the boot-messages)
also comment out the lines starting with
start on ...
if you do not wish to span ttyX (in my case 4..6)

edit ''/etc/default/console-setup'' and change
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-3]"
in my case 3, since i never need more than 3 TTYs

Installing Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex (8.10) on an X301

2008-12-21T02:03:18Z

Jacob: /* External Displays */

Please improve on this preliminary effort.

==Overview==

Now that Intrepid is out the door, get it while it's fresh!

==Keyboard==

pretty much all of the fn+... keys work (not all tested yet)
tested: lock screen, brightness, sleep, hibernation, battery status, thinklight

==Ethernet==

Works OOB

==Wireless==

Works OOB: The Ubuntu 8.10 Kernel (2.6.27) ships with support for the IWL5100 (''iwlagn'' driver)

==Fan==

Works fine. It is spinning lightly almost all the time, but acceptable (like in windows)

==Power Mgmt==

Seems to work fine. The gnome power manager reports ~3h30 which sounds about right. The [Fn] + [F3] combination even causes the applet to pop up info :)

==Display==

Works fine OOB

==Suspend and Hibernate==

Closing the lid puts the machine to sleep, i often managed to resume from ram but i also got frozen (mouse moveable but switching to console doesn't work, screen remains black except for the pointer (i have a black screensaver)) - caution here (solution below) -
The [[Installing_Debian_(stable)_on_an_X300#Suspend_.26_Hibernate]] article suggests removing the e1000e module which i haven't tried but may help.
The 2.6.28-rc3-git1 kernel features a suspend fix for the iwl-agn (wireless) driver, so if that was an issue, it might be gone with the next kernel (not shipped with ubuntu 8.10)

[http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=959712&page=2 This script] offers a solution to the black-freeze-on-resume problem. my suspend now works flawlessly

==Sound==

Works out of the box on the generic kernel, i've run into some trouble with my custom kernel - feel free to report on what i'm missing.
alsamixer reports the Conexant chip being used so i've selected that one in the snd-hda-intel driver (selecting them all didn't help either)

i haven't extensively tested this feature untested remain:
* usage with a sound server (esd)
* microphone
* headphone

-works correct so far with pulseaudio

-headphone port works

==Camera==

works fine in ekiga (green LED lights up as well)
if it doesn't work you might want to try
sudo adduser youruser video

==External Displays==

vga port works as expected. you can activate it through xrandr or the screen resolution preferences.

with xrandr HDMI-1 shows up as well, but i couldn't test it yet (no adaptor/displayport device)

untested:
* displayport

Display port may not yet be supported by the intel driver: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-July/037375.html.
There have however been commits since then mentioning displayport.

The follow xorg.conf works with an external 24" dell display connected via VGA:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel GM45 Express"
Driver "intel"
Option "monitor-VGA" "DELL2407WFPHC"
Option "monitor-LVDS" "Laptop"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "DELL2407WFPHC"
Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1200"
# Option "Left Of" "Laptop" # causes crash on intel 2.5
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Laptop"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "HDMI-1"
Option "Ignore" "true"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "Intel GM45 Express"
Monitor "Laptop"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Virtual 3360 2100
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
EndSection

==Compiz / 3D Acceleration==

Works OOB, requires p

==Boot time==

* 12sec from power to GRUB
* 22sec to GDM, 18sec with tweaked readahead
* 29sec from GDM into fully loaded session, 28sec with readahead (seems awfully slow to me.. fluxbox takes like 2sec..)

===Improvements===

====Native Upstart boot====

Since i'm using this one i even ditched boot-readahead (still using desktop-readahead though)
[http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6158642&postcount=38 Described here]

====Concurent loading====

edit ''/etc/init.d/rc'' set ''CONCURRENCY'' from ''none'' to ''shell''
CONCURRENCY=shell

note that after some testing i've switched back to the ''none'' value, as some startups weren't clean

====Readahead====

install readahead
sudo apt-get install readahead

profile your GNOME login (instructions: [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=565651], then filter out all files under 100kb (guessed number, feel free to experiment).
i filtered out small files since access times on SSD is very good, throughput not.
The linked page states about loading in ''Xsession.d'', forget about that and put your profiled files in ''/etc/readahead/boot'' and ''/etc/readahead/desktop''. This will cause the boot process to profit and the desktop-files to load earlier (before X starts)
to create a ''boot'' file, append "profile" to the GRUB prompt

filter out the small files
boot file:
cat boot | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > boot.sorted
now delete any line below the wanted threshold from the sorted file (i took "dash" as masker with 104kb)
since the boot file is ordered, we want to keep that order
cat boot | while read line; do grep "$line" boot.sorted >> boot.new; done;

same for the desktop file:
cat desktop | xargs -i ls -lk {} | sort -rn -k +5 | awk "{print(\$8)}" > desktop.sorted
remove lines from sorted file...
cat desktop | while read line; do grep "$line" desktop.sorted >> desktop.new; done;

==Fingerprint Reader==

Doesn't currently work as it's an AthenTec and not a Thompson chip.

==Minimalistic installation instructions==

The system you are installing when following these instructions will be a good starting point if you want a clean ubuntu system without all the bloat (which you may of course add yourself). For a simple installation just download and install the desktop version of ubuntu 8.10 (beta)

Boot from the ''Ubuntu Server'' AMD64 Disc (32bit also works, but what a waste)
select ''Install Ubuntu Server''

Choose language and country
Select Keyboard layout

Don't worry about network interface right now.. (only ubuntu 8.10 ''Beta'')
choose your hostname then username and password
change your proxy settings

At the software selection select:
* OpenSSH server
you might want the Samba Server if you're sharing files on a mixed network

wait for the install to complete (5 min)

Reboot without the CD

login to you new system and switch to root
sudo -s

if you're using the beta and your network, download a newer kernel (amd64) from (this will require a second machine or other OS if you have)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
copy it to usb stick

on the X301 mount usb stick with
mkdir /mnt/usb && mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usb

install kernel with
dpkg -i /mnt/usb/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic_2.6.27-7.12_amd64.deb
umount /mnt/usb
reboot

if networking still doesn't work (try with ping google.com) edit the interfaces
nano /etc/network/interfaces

and add the line
iface eth0 inet dhcp

use [CTRL]+[X], [Y] to save and quite and start the interface
ifup eth0
it should now be ok...

now let's loose some fat:
apt-get remove --purge linux-image-server linux-image-2.6.27-4-server

<pre>
apt-get remove --purge apparmor update-motd landscape-common installation-report \
libapparmor* libgpm2 memtest86+ ppp pppconfig pppoeconf reiserfsprogs \
strace tasksel tasksel-data ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-serverguide

rm -rf /var/log/landscape
</pre>

and update the system with the newest upstream package catalog:
apt-get update

install sound:
apt-get install alsa

..and X
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

gdm:
apt-get install gnome-session gdm

and the network manager:
apt-get install network-manager-gnome

now upgrade the base system with:
apt-get dist-upgrade

if you added the line to fix networking, it is now time to remove it again from ''/etc/network/interfaces'' as NetworkManager will do that for us

reboot the machine
reboot

gdm should now appear and you may log in to X/Gnome

start synaptic from the gnome menu, you might want to add additional filters like

* Installed: check only "Installed"
* Upgradable: check only "Upgradable" (shows also upgradable packages which aren't upgraded to a new upstream version (i.e. only featuring ubuntu-specific patches)
* Residual Config: "Residual config"
* Orphaned: check only "Orphaned" (install deborphan package to use this)
* Autoremove: check only "Automatic removable"

if you know you'll need one of the following packages, don't delete it or just reinstall it later on.. they should all be safe to delete (at least my system still works)

select the "Installed" filter and remove (right click, then mark for complete removal):

* alacarte
* app-install-data
* aptitude
* apt-xapian-index
* cupsys
* ed
* esound-clients
* gnome-user-guide
* gnome-utils
* libbeagle1
* libmbca0
* ltrace
* mobile-broadband-provider-info
* mtr-tiny
* netcat netcat-traditional
* oss-compat
* parted popularity-contest
* python-beagle python-debian
* python-gnupginterface
* python-openssl
* python-pyopenssl
* python-software-properties
* python-twisted-bin
* python-twisted-core
* python-xapian
* python-zopeinterface
* radeontool
* rsync
* tcpd
* tcpdump
* ufw
* unattended-upgrades
* update-manager-core
* vim-tiny
* xdg-user-dirs
* xserver-xorg-input-all
* xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
* xserver-xorg-input-wacom

right now the system is pretty much stripped down and we can build up from here :)

some things i got from the missing-recommands tabs:
* acpid
* deborphan
* evince
* gnome-screensaver
* gnome-system-tools
* vim

once deborphan is installed:
delete anything from the custom filter ''orphaned''

what i also installed:
* evolution
* firefox
* mesa-utils (for glxgears)
* seahorse
* totem-gstreamer
* mozilla-plugin-gnash

what i still removed:
* gnome-pilot
* gnome-pilot-conduits

You may now want to install following packages:
* gnome-terminal
* gedit
* gcalctool
* cpufrequtils
* powertop
* system-config-printer-gnome (+ your printer driver)
* linux-firmware (or download the firmware yourself from linuxintelwireless.com, or extract iwlan-5000-1.ucode from that package and put it into /lib/firmware)
* libdvdcss from videolan.org/libdvdcss (read legal advices)

And remove those:
* libv4l-0
* libgtksourceview-common
* libgtksourceview1.0-0
* python-gnome2-desktop
* gnome-app-install

==Compiling custom fast-boot-patched kernel==

install these packages:
* libncurses5-dev
* make

Get most recent 2.6.27 kernel from [[http://www.kernel.org]]
untar it..
<pre>
sudo -s
cd /usr/src
tar xjf /home/foo/downloads/linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.27 linux
cd linux
</pre>

apply the [[Fastboot_Patch_2_6_27|Fastboot patch]] (there have been arguments about the implementation of this but it works fine for me)
patch -p1 < fastboot_2_6_27.diff

Get the kernel [[X301_kernel_config|.config file]] and put it inside the root of your kernel source. This will make a good start. Not that i did not include support for IPv6, firewall and PCMCIA so you'll need to add those if wanted.

What's NOT working:
* UUID-root partition

If sound is not working on your user (i.e. ''sudo alsamixer'' shows a device while just ''alsamixer'' (as your default user) doesen't) you'll need to
adduser youruser audio
log out and back into X and you'll have sound.

if you want to change the configuration:
make menuconfig

build the kernel:
make -j3

install kernel and modules:
make install
make modules_install

..adapt your ''/etc/grub/menu.lst'' file to boot the new kernel make sure to switch the ''root=UUID=..'' for ''root=/dev/sda1'' or you'll get a kernel panic when booting
(can someone explain this to me why UUID won't work (because of not using an initrd?))
also remove the initrd line.

mine looks like this:
<pre>
title Ubuntu (development branch), kernel 2.6.27
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 root=/dev/sda1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 ro quiet
quiet
</pre>

==Compiling intel xorg drivers==

Works OOB on ubuntu kernel - THIS IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS YOU'RE COMPILING YOUR OWN 2.4.27+ KERNEL -

* xserver-xorg-dev
* xorg-dev
* pkg-config
* mesa-common-dev
* (libdrm-dev) - currently also has to be compiled from source because of incompatibilities with intel's 2.5.0 driver

===libdrm===
Get the source from git:
<pre>
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm
cd drm
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
</pre>

now edit the "libtool" file and comment out the line with "directory not ending" aswell as the line before it. (won't install to /usr otherwise, only /usr/local)
<pre>

cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

==Other tweaks==
Don't start the rsync daemon at boot-time:
sudo update-rc.d -f rsync remove

Power-saving settings:
insert these lines into ''/etc/sysctl.conf''
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500

If you have lots of RAM (4Gb):
vm.swappiness=0

with 2Gb i recommand a value of 40 instead of 0

===Switch getty for mingetty===
Install mingetty
apt-get install mingetty
edit ''/etc/event.d/tty1'' through 6 and change the last line to

now let's loose some fat:
apt-get remove --purge linux-image-server linux-image-2.6.27-4-server

<pre>
apt-get remove --purge apparmor update-motd landscape-common installation-report \
libapparmor* libgpm2 memtest86+ ppp pppconfig pppoeconf reiserfsprogs \
strace tasksel tasksel-data ubuntu-minimal ubuntu-serverguide

rm -rf /var/log/landscape
</pre>

and update the system with the newest upstream package catalog:
apt-get update

install sound:
apt-get install alsa

..and X
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-input-mouse xserver-xorg-input-kbd xserver-xorg-input-synaptics

gdm:
apt-get install gnome-session gdm

and the network manager:
apt-get install network-manager-gnome

now upgrade the base system with:
apt-get dist-upgrade

if you added the line to fix networking, it is now time to remove it again from ''/etc/network/interfaces'' as NetworkManager will do that for us

reboot the machine
reboot

gdm should now appear and you may log in to X/Gnome

start synaptic from the gnome menu, you might want to add additional filters like

* Installed: check only "Installed"
* Upgradable: check only "Upgradable" (shows also upgradable packages which aren't upgraded to a new upstream version (i.e. only featuring ubuntu-specific patches)
* Residual Config: "Residual config"
* Orphaned: check only "Orphaned" (install deborphan package to use this)
* Autoremove: check only "Automatic removable"

if you know you'll need one of the following packages, don't delete it or just reinstall it later on.. they should all be safe to delete (at least my system still works)

select the "Installed" filter and remove (right click, then mark for complete removal):

* alacarte
* app-install-data
* aptitude
* apt-xapian-index
* cupsys
* ed
* esound-clients
* gnome-user-guide
* gnome-utils
* libbeagle1
* libmbca0
* ltrace
* mobile-broadband-provider-info
* mtr-tiny
* netcat netcat-traditional
* oss-compat
* parted popularity-contest
* python-beagle python-debian
* python-gnupginterface
* python-openssl
* python-pyopenssl
* python-software-properties
* python-twisted-bin
* python-twisted-core
* python-xapian
* python-zopeinterface
* radeontool
* rsync
* tcpd
* tcpdump
* ufw
* unattended-upgrades
* update-manager-core
* vim-tiny
* xdg-user-dirs
* xserver-xorg-input-all
* xserver-xorg-input-vmmouse
* xserver-xorg-input-wacom

right now the system is pretty much stripped down and we can build up from here :)

some things i got from the missing-recommands tabs:
* acpid
* deborphan
* evince
* gnome-screensaver
* gnome-system-tools
* vim

once deborphan is installed:
delete anything from the custom filter ''orphaned''

what i also installed:
* evolution
* firefox
* mesa-utils (for glxgears)
* seahorse
* totem-gstreamer
* mozilla-plugin-gnash

what i still removed:
* gnome-pilot
* gnome-pilot-conduits

You may now want to install following packages:
* gnome-terminal
* gedit
* gcalctool
* cpufrequtils
* powertop
* system-config-printer-gnome (+ your printer driver)
* linux-firmware (or download the firmware yourself from linuxintelwireless.com, or extract iwlan-5000-1.ucode from that package and put it into /lib/firmware)
* libdvdcss from videolan.org/libdvdcss (read legal advices)

And remove those:
* libv4l-0
* libgtksourceview-common
* libgtksourceview1.0-0
* python-gnome2-desktop
* gnome-app-install

==Compiling custom fast-boot-patched kernel==

install these packages:
* libncurses5-dev
* make

Get most recent 2.6.27 kernel from [[http://www.kernel.org]]
untar it..
<pre>
sudo -s
cd /usr/src
tar xjf /home/foo/downloads/linux-2.6.27.tar.bz2
ln -s linux-2.6.27 linux
cd linux
</pre>

apply the [[Fastboot_Patch_2_6_27|Fastboot patch]] (there have been arguments about the implementation of this but it works fine for me)
patch -p1 < fastboot_2_6_27.diff

Get the kernel [[X301_kernel_config|.config file]] and put it inside the root of your kernel source. This will make a good start. Not that i did not include support for IPv6, firewall and PCMCIA so you'll need to add those if wanted.

What's NOT working:
* UUID-root partition

If sound is not working on your user (i.e. ''sudo alsamixer'' shows a device while just ''alsamixer'' (as your default user) doesen't) you'll need to
adduser youruser audio
log out and back into X and you'll have sound.

if you want to change the configuration:
make menuconfig

build the kernel:
make -j3

install kernel and modules:
make install
make modules_install

..adapt your ''/etc/grub/menu.lst'' file to boot the new kernel make sure to switch the ''root=UUID=..'' for ''root=/dev/sda1'' or you'll get a kernel panic when booting
(can someone explain this to me why UUID won't work (because of not using an initrd?))
also remove the initrd line.

mine looks like this:
<pre>
title Ubuntu (development branch), kernel 2.6.27
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27 root=/dev/sda1 usbcore.autosuspend=1 ro quiet
quiet
</pre>

==Compiling intel xorg drivers==

Works OOB on ubuntu kernel - THIS IS NOT NEEDED UNLESS YOU'RE COMPILING YOUR OWN 2.4.27+ KERNEL -

With my shiny new kernel i wasn't able to start X as exa was failing.. so after some googling i recompiled the driver.
- this will hopefully be fixed before the final release - (it is fixed in the 2.5.0 driver, ubuntu currently has 2.4.1)

While this will work perfectly fine with the light new kernel, the generic ubuntu kernel displays ugly artifacts in firefox and gnome-terminal. So i'd rather wait if you're considering using the generic kernel.

You revert these changes by reinstalling xserver-xorg-video-intel and libdrm2 with
apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel libdrm2 libdrm-dev

Install these packages from apt
* automake
* xutils-dev
* libtool
* xserver-xorg-dev
* xorg-dev
* pkg-config
* mesa-common-dev
* (libdrm-dev) - currently also has to be compiled from source because of incompatibilities with intel's 2.5.0 driver

===libdrm===
Get the source from git:
<pre>
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm drm
cd drm
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
</pre>

now edit the "libtool" file and comment out the line with "directory not ending" aswell as the line before it. (won't install to /usr otherwise, only /usr/local)
<pre>
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

===xf86-video-intel===
<pre>
git clone git://git.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/ xf86-video-intel
cd xf86-video-intel
./autogen
./configure --prefix=/usr
make -j3
sudo make install
</pre>

==Other tweaks==
Don't start the rsync daemon at boot-time:
sudo update-rc.d -f rsync remove

Power-saving settings:
insert these lines into ''/etc/sysctl.conf''
vm.dirty_writeback_centisecs=1500

If you have lots of RAM (4Gb):
vm.swappiness=0

with 2Gb i recommand a value of 40 instead of 0

===Switch getty for mingetty===
Install mingetty
apt-get install mingetty
edit ''/etc/event.d/tty1'' through 6 and change the last line to
exec /sbin/mingetty tty1
(you could add the ''--noclear'' switch on tty1 to leave the boot-messages)
also comment out the lines starting with
start on ...
if you do not wish to span ttyX (in my case 4..6)

edit ''/etc/default/console-setup'' and change
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-3]"
in my case 3, since i never need more than 3 TTYs
