{{cmduser|sudo apt-get update}}

==Kernel support==
How to get the correct kernel:
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install linux-686}}

===Kernel modules===
{{Todo|Load the different kernel modules, and their configuration}}

ibm_acpi module:

Turning on experimental features:

{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe}}:
options ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1

Starting with wireless off:
{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ipw2100.modprobe}}:
options ipw2100 disable=1

====ibm_acpi modules compilation====
Kernel 2.6.12-9 included in Breezy only included ibm_acpi version 0.8. However a version 0.11 is available, and included in 2.6.13.

[http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947 http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947]

===ACPI===
{{Todo|Hibernate, suspend, buttons, lid, speedstep}}

Because of "options ipw2100 disable=1" the wireless lan is initially turned off by a software feature.
The default script in Breezy does not turn on the software part.
Modification to turn on wireless:
{{path|/etc/acpi/wireless.sh}}:
#!/bin/bash
# Find and enable/disable wireless devices

for DEVICE in /sys/class/net/*; do
if [ -d $DEVICE/wireless ]; then
# $DEVICE is a wireless device. Check if it's powered on:
if [ `cat $DEVICE/device/power/state` = 0 ]; then
# It's powered on. Switch it off.
echo -n 3 > $DEVICE/device/power/state;
echo 0
else
# It's powered off. Switch it on.
echo -n 0 > $DEVICE/device/power/state;
'''echo -n 0 > $DEVICE/device/rf_kill;'''
echo 1
fi
fi
done

==== Using Fn-F6 to enable/disable Bluetooth ====

First, to make sure Fn-F6 is available as a hotkey, either do

echo 0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

(this will work until next reboot or suspend), or change the mask in /etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe.

Next, create a shell script /etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# Enable/disable builtin Bluetooth on IBM Thinkpads
if grep -q enabled /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth; then
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
else
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
fi

Next, create an event file /etc/acpi/events/ibm-bluetooth

# This is called when the user presses Fn-F6 button and calls
# /etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh for further processing.
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001006
action=/etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh

You might need to restart acpid for it to start working.

==Initng==
Very great initiative for optimizing the boot process. [http://initng.thinktux.net/index.php/Main_Page Initng]

Dep packages can be found:
[http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-initng/ http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-initng/]

Installation:
{{cmduser|sudo dpkg -i initng_0.3.3-2_i386.deb}}

To run nice a few things and scripts need modification as follows:

====Load modules on startup====
Unfortunately it seems not all relevant modules are loaded automaticly when using InitNG.

Please help finding the proper scripts to do this.

Just add the proper modules to {{path|/etc/modules}}.

This is my list:
lp
mousedev
psmouse

#Additional ACPI features
ibm_acpi

#Frequency scaling
cpufreq_userspace
cpufreq_powersave
speedstep_centrino

====Grub kernel options====

To enable initng an option must be appended to the kernel load command in grub.

{{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-686 root=/dev/hda9 ro quiet splash video=radeonfb '''init=/sbin/initng'''

====Runlevel====
Add bootitems to the default bootlevel:

Ex: {{cmduser|sudo ng-update add daemon/powernowd default}}

This is my {{path|/etc/initng/default.runlevel}}:
system
daemon/acpid
daemon/dbus
daemon/hald
daemon/vixie-cron
daemon/ifplugd
system/alsasound
system/speedstep
system/laptop-mode
daemon/syslogd
daemon/klogd
daemon/gdm
daemon/cupsd
daemon/powernowd

Coldplug is not added to the system.runlevel. We need this to automatically load modules, like sound and wireless.
Add coldplug to the system runlevel {{path|/etc/initng/system.runlevel}}:

{{cmduser|sudo ng-update add system/coldplug system}}

===Scripts===
====dbus.i====
{{path|daemon/dbus.i}} has a few faults, on Ubuntu it is "dbus" not "dbus-1"!
service daemon/dbus {
need = system/initial system/mountfs system/bootmisc

pid_file = /var/run/dbus/pid
daemon {
'''DAEMON=/usr/bin/dbus-daemon'''
'''NAME=dbus'''
DAEMONUSER=messagebus

}
}

mkdir -p $PIDDIR
chown $DAEMONUSER:$DAEMONUSER $PIDDIR
fi

echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
$DAEMON --daemon=no $DAEMON_OPTS
echo "$NAME."
}
}

====gdm.i====

{{path|daemon/gdm.i}}, to add locale support to the GDM login screen:
service daemon/gdm {
need = system/initial system/mountfs system/hostname net/lo system/modules system/bootmisc
use = daemon/xfs system/static-modules system/coldplug system/netmount
# daemon = /usr/sbin/gdm
# daemon = /usr/bin/gdm
# daemon_args = -nodaemon
daemon {
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
if [ -r /etc/default/gdm ]; then
. /etc/default/gdm
if [ -z "$LANG" ]; then
:
else
export LANG
fi
fi

gdm -nodaemon
}
#pid_file = /var/run/gdm.pid
}

====cupsd.i====
Somethings wrong in the way the initNG scripts loads cups with hplip.

I did an ugly hack: {{path|daemon/cupsd}}
service daemon/cupsd {
need = system/initial system/mountroot net/lo
# use = daemon/printconf daemon/hpiod daemon/hpssd
# daemon = /usr/sbin/cupsd
# daemon_args = -f
daemon {
/etc/init.d/hplip start
/etc/init.d/cupsys start
}
}

==Helpfull tools==
===Rovclock===
Utility to overclock and underclock the ATI radeon chip.
Can be used to underclock to reduce power, especialy when on batteries.

Get it from: [http://www.hasw.net/linux/ http://www.hasw.net/linux/]

Stable clock speeds:
Core: 100MHz
Memory: 120Mhz for LCP only, 180Mhz when using DVI out on port replicator.

Ex:
{{cmduser|sudo rovclock -c 100 -m 120}}

===noflushd===
Noflushd is a daemon that spins down disks that have not been read from
after a certain amount of time, and then prevents disk writes from
spinning them back up. It's targeted for laptops but can be used on any
computer with IDE disks. The effect is that the hard disk actually spins
down, saving you battery power, and shutting off the loudest component of
most computers.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install noflushd}}

===ifplugd===
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your
ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically
unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with
onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface
when a cable is really connected.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install ifplugd}}

{{path|/etc/default/ifplugd}}:
INTERFACES="'''eth0'''"
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="'''eth0'''"
ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I '''-b'''"
SUSPEND_ACTION="stop"

===gnubiff===

gnubiff is a mail notification program that checks for mail and displays headers when new mail has arrived. Has a tray icon for gnome. Supports SSL which I needed.
[http://gnubiff.sourceforge.net/ http://gnubiff.sourceforge.net/]

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install gnubiff}}

How to make use of Graphics Chips Power Management features

2005-10-24T17:30:02Z

Johannes: /* DynamicClocks in the Radeon Xorg driver */

==Power Saving With A Framebuffer Console==
In order to use the dynamic GPU clock-scaling similar to what X.org has, you need to use the radeonfb kernel module. You'll need to enable the '''CONFIG_FB_RADEON''' in your kernel configuration. If setup correctly you should see something like the following in your kernel log:
radeonfb: Dynamic Clock Power Management enabled

==DynamicClocks in the Radeon Xorg driver==
The xorg X server has support for a power saving feature from ATI called PowerPlay. Xorg calls this feature DynamicClocks. It can be enabled in the server by adding '''Option "DynamicClocks" "on"''' in the '''Device''' section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "IBM Thinkpad"
BoardName "ATI Radeon Mobility M9"
'''Option "DynamicClocks" "on"'''
EndSection

With this option enabled, the X11 server should print ({{path|/var/log/Xorg.0.log}}):

(**) RADEON(0): Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
(II) RADEON(0): Dynamic Clock Scaling Enabled

{{NOTE|Enabling DynamicClocks crashes some models. If the CPU is entering one of the lower power states (C3 or lower) during Xorg startup the display may stay black. As a workaround disable DynamicClocks in Xorg and use [[Rovclock]] instead. But it does not scale the clocks to match the workload.}}

==How to use it==
After enabling it, my first question was how do I control it? After reading about it, the answer is: you don't have to, it manages the power consumption for you.\

==X.org on Debian==
Because debian doesn't have X.org yet - [http://incubator.vislab.usyd.edu.au/roller/page/Steve/20040909 Installing a non-intrusive X.org server on Debian].

'''Update:''' X.org has made it into Debian. See: [http://packages.debian.org/unstable/x11/xserver-xorg]

There are also sarge backports available [http://www.backports.org/ here] or [http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xorg-x11/ here].

Add the following line to your repository list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xorg-x11/ sarge main

Additional options for the radeon driver

2005-10-24T17:27:42Z

Johannes: /* Dynamic Clock scaling */

Options for the radeon driver are documented on the radeon(4x) man page.

==External Monitors==
You can use '''MergedFB''' to provide dualhead '''Xinerama''' like setups - the folowing (partial) '''Xorg''' config will make the Radeon card use '''1024x768''' on the internal lcd display and '''1280x1024''' on the external ('''Note''': only one screen/monitor section is needed (it controls the setup of the internal monitor) even though we have two displays):
'''N.B.:''' Modes used in the ''MetaModes'' also have to be present in the ''screen'' modes section.

Section "Device"
Identifier "ATI"
Driver "radeon"
'''# accelration'''
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "EnablePageFlip" "on"
Option "RenderAccel" "on"
'''# enable PowerPlay features'''
Option "DynamicClocks" "on"
'''# use bios hot keys on thinkpad (aka fn+f7)'''
Option "BIOSHotkeys" "on"
'''# enable radeon specific xinerama'''
Option "MergedFB" "true"
Option "CRT2Position" "RightOf"
Option "CRT2Hsync" "50-75"
Option "CRT2VRefresh" "30-82"
Option "MetaModes" "1024x768-1280x1024"
Option "MergedNonRectangular" "true"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "InternalLCD"
Option "DPMS"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "ATI"
Monitor "InternalLCD"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x768"
EndSubSection
EndSection

Note: The '''CRT2''' directives always applies for the external monitore regardless of type (LCD, CRT...). The option '''MergedNonRectangular''' is needed to force the screens into two different sizes.

===External Monitors and Docking Stations/Port Replicators===
I seams that '''Xorg''' incorectly discovers the external displays when connected to a docking station/port replicator - the only solution to this problem (atleast that I know of) is to start the laptop (and boot all the way into X) prior to inserting it in the dock.

==AGP speed==

By default, the open source radeon driver forces 1x AGP speed. Quote from the developers:

tuning to the highest speed possible has caused hangs on some boxes, with no
discernable pattern, so we default to 'slow but safe' whilst giving the option
to go fast if the user wants to try it.

Higher speeds can be enabled by adding '''Option "AGPMode" "X"''' (where X is a number) in the '''Device''' section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "IBM Thinkpad"
BoardName "ATIdd Mobility FireGL 7800"
'''Option "AGPMode" "4"'''
EndSection

With this option enabled (set to 4x speed), the X11 server should print ({{path|/var/log/Xorg.0.log}}):

(**) RADEON(0): Option "AGPMode" "4"
(**) RADEON(0): Using AGP 4x mode

==AGP Fast Writes==

By default, the open source radeon driver disables AGP Fast Writes. Fast Writes can be enabled by adding '''Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"''' in the '''Device''' section in {{path|/etc/X11/xorg.conf}}.

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "IBM Thinkpad"
BoardName "ATI Mobility FireGL 7800"
'''Option "AGPFastWrite" "yes"'''
EndSection

==Helpfull tools==
===Rovclock===
Utility to overclock and underclock the ATI radeon chip.
Can be used to underclock to reduce power, especialy when on batteries.

Get it from: [http://www.hasw.net/linux/ http://www.hasw.net/linux/]

Stable clock speeds:
Core: 100MHz
Memory: 120Mhz for LCP only, 180Mhz when using DVI out on port replicator.

Ex:
{{cmduser|sudo rovclock -c 100 -m 120}}

===noflushd===
Noflushd is a daemon that spins down disks that have not been read from
after a certain amount of time, and then prevents disk writes from
spinning them back up. It's targeted for laptops but can be used on any
computer with IDE disks. The effect is that the hard disk actually spins
down, saving you battery power, and shutting off the loudest component of
most computers.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install noflushd}}

===ifplugd===
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your
ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically
unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with
onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface
when a cable is really connected.

{{Todo|Load the different kernel modules, and their configuration}}

ibm_acpi module:

Turning on experimental features:

{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe}}:
options ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1

Starting with wireless off:
{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ipw2100.modprobe}}:
options ipw2100 disable=1

====ibm_acpi modules compilation====
Kernel 2.6.12-9 included in Breezy only included ibm_acpi version 0.8. However a version 0.11 is available, and included in 2.6.13.

[http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947 http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947]

===ACPI===
{{Todo|Hibernate, suspend, buttons, lid, speedstep}}

Because of "options ipw2100 disable=1" the wireless lan is initially turned off by a software feature.
The default script in Breezy does not turn on the software part.
Modification to turn on wireless:
{{path|/etc/acpi/wireless.sh}}:

==Initng==
Very great initiative for optimizing the boot process. [http://initng.thinktux.net/index.php/Main_Page Initng]

Dep packages can be found:
[http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-initng/ http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-initng/]

Installation:
{{cmduser|sudo dpkg -i initng_0.3.3-2_i386.deb}}

To run nice a few things and scripts need modification as follows:

====Load modules on startup====
Unfortunately it seems not all relevant modules are loaded automaticly when using InitNG.

Please help finding the proper scripts to do this.

Just add the proper modules to {{path|/etc/modules}}.

This is my list:
lp
mousedev
psmouse

#Additional ACPI features
ibm_acpi

#Frequency scaling
cpufreq_userspace
cpufreq_powersave
speedstep_centrino

====Grub kernel options====

To enable initng an option must be appended to the kernel load command in grub.

{{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-686 root=/dev/hda9 ro quiet splash video=radeonfb '''init=/sbin/initng'''

====Runlevel====
Add bootitems to the default bootlevel:

{{cmduser|sudo ng-update add system/coldplug default}}

{{path|/etc/initng/default.runlevel}}:
system
daemon/acpid
daemon/dbus
daemon/hald
daemon/vixie-cron
daemon/ifplugd
system/alsasound
system/speedstep
system/laptop-mode
daemon/syslogd
daemon/klogd
daemon/gdm
daemon/cupsd
daemon/powernowd

Coldplug is not added to the system.runlevel. We need this to automatically load modules, like sound and wireless.
Add coldplug to the system runlevel {{path|/etc/initng/system.runlevel}}:
{{cmduser|sudo ng-update add system/coldplug system}}

===Scripts===

Installation:

To run nice a few things and scripts need modification as follows:

====Load modules on startup====
Unfortunately it seems not all relevant modules are loaded automaticly when using InitNG.

Please help finding the proper scripts to do this.

Just add the proper modules to {{path|/etc/modules}}.

===Rovclock===
Utility to overclock and underclock the ATI radeon chip.
Can be used to underclock to reduce power, especialy when on batteries.

Get it from: [http://www.hasw.net/linux/ http://www.hasw.net/linux/]

Stable clock speeds:

===noflushd===
Noflushd is a daemon that spins down disks that have not been read from
after a certain amount of time, and then prevents disk writes from
spinning them back up. It's targeted for laptops but can be used on any
computer with IDE disks. The effect is that the hard disk actually spins
down, saving you battery power, and shutting off the loudest component of
most computers.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get noflushd}}

===ifplugd===
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your
ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically
unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with
onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface
when a cable is really connected.

Installing Ubuntu/Breezy on a ThinkPad T42

2005-10-21T05:16:39Z

Johannes: /* Runlevel */

==General installation==
Here comes installation instructions for {{Ubuntu}} Breezy Badger on
{{T42}} 2374-ZEP.

Get a copy of Ubuntu from [http://www.ubuntulinux.org UbuntuLinux.org].

==Kernel support==
How to get the correct kernel:
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install linux-686}}

===Kernel modules===
{{Todo|Load the different kernel modules, and their configuration}}

ibm_acpi module:

Turning on experimental features:

{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe}}:
options ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1

Starting with wireless off:
{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ipw2100.modprobe}}:
options ipw2100 disable=1

====ibm_acpi modules compilation====
Kernel 2.6.12-9 included in Breezy only included ibm_acpi version 0.8. However a version 0.11 is available, and included in 2.6.13.

[http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947 http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947]

===ACPI===
{{Todo|Hibernate, suspend, buttons, lid, speedstep}}

Because of "options ipw2100 disable=1" the wireless lan is initially turned off by a software feature.
The default script in Breezy does not turn on the software part.

Installing Ubuntu/Breezy on a ThinkPad T42

2005-10-20T06:03:06Z

Johannes: /* Initng */

==General installation==
Here comes installation instructions for {{Ubuntu}} Breezy Badger on
{{T42}} 2374-ZEP.

Get a copy of Ubuntu from [http://www.ubuntulinux.org UbuntuLinux.org].

==Kernel support==
How to get the correct kernel:
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install linux-686}}

===Kernel modules===
{{Todo|Load the different kernel modules, and their configuration}}

ibm_acpi module:

Turning on experimental features:

{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe}}:
options ibm_acpi hotkey=enable,0xffff experimental=1

Starting with wireless off:
{{path|/etc/modprobe.d/ipw2100.modprobe}}:
options ipw2100 disable=1

====ibm_acpi modules compilation====
Kernel 2.6.12-9 included in Breezy only included ibm_acpi version 0.8. However a version 0.11 is available, and included in 2.6.13.

[http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947 http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4947]

===ACPI===
{{Todo|Hibernate, suspend, buttons, lid, speedstep}}

Because of "options ipw2100 disable=1" the wireless lan is initially turned off by a software feature.
The default script in Breezy does not turn on the software part.
Modification to turn on wireless:
{{path|/etc/acpi/wireless.sh}}:
#!/bin/bash
# Find and enable/disable wireless devices

for DEVICE in /sys/class/net/*; do
if [ -d $DEVICE/wireless ]; then
# $DEVICE is a wireless device. Check if it's powered on:
if [ `cat $DEVICE/device/power/state` = 0 ]; then
# It's powered on. Switch it off.
echo -n 3 > $DEVICE/device/power/state;
echo 0
else
# It's powered off. Switch it on.
echo -n 0 > $DEVICE/device/power/state;

==Initng==
Very great initiative for optimizing the boot process. [http://initng.thinktux.net/index.php/Main_Page Initng]

Dep packages can be found:
[http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-initng/ http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-initng/]

Installation:
{{cmduser|sudo dpkg -i initng_0.3.3-2_i386.deb}}

To run nice a few things and scripts need modification as follows:

====Load modules on startup====
Unfortunately it seems not all relevant modules are loaded automaticly when using InitNG.

Please help finding the proper scripts to do this.

Just add the proper modules to {{path|/etc/modules}}.

This is my list:
lp
mousedev
psmouse

#Additional ACPI features
ibm_acpi

#Frequency scaling
cpufreq_userspace
cpufreq_powersave
speedstep_centrino

#Sound
snd-intel8x0
snd-intel8x0m

#Wireless
ipw2100

====Grup kernel options====

To enable initng an option must be appended to the kernel load command in grub.

{{path|/boot/grub/menu.lst}}:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-686 root=/dev/hda9 ro quiet splash video=radeonfb init=/sbin/initng

====Runlevel====
{{path|/etc/initng/default.runlevel}}:
system
daemon/acpid
daemon/dbus
daemon/hald
daemon/vixie-cron
daemon/ifplugd
system/alsasound
system/speedstep
system/laptop-mode
daemon/syslogd
daemon/klogd
daemon/gdm
daemon/cupsd
daemon/powernowd

===Scripts===
====dbus.i====
{{path|daemon/dbus.i}} has a few faults, on Ubuntu it is "dbus" not "dbus-1"!
service daemon/dbus {
need = system/initial system/mountfs system/bootmisc

pid_file = /var/run/dbus/pid
daemon {
DAEMON=/usr/bin/dbus-daemon
NAME=dbus
DAEMONUSER=messagebus
PIDDIR=/var/run/dbus
PIDFILE=$PIDDIR/pid
DESC="system message bus"

if [ -e /etc/default/dbus ]; then
. /etc/default/dbus
fi

if [ ! -d $PIDDIR ]; then
mkdir -p $PIDDIR
chown $DAEMONUSER $PIDDIR
chgrp $DAEMONUSER $PIDDIR
fi
if [ -e $PIDFILE ]; then
PIDDIR=/proc/$(cat $PIDFILE)
if [ -d ${PIDDIR} -a "$(readlink -f ${PIDDIR}/exe)" = "${DAEMON}" ]; then
echo "$DESC already started; not starting."
else
echo "Removing stale PID file $PIDFILE."
rm -f $PIDFILE
fi
fi
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
$DAEMON --system $PARAMS
echo "$NAME."
}
}

====hald.i====
{{path|daemon/hald.i}}
service daemon/hald {
need = system/initial system/mountfs daemon/dbus
# use = daemon/acpid

daemon {
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/hald
PIDDIR=/var/run/hal
NAME=hal
DAEMONUSER=hal
DESC="Hardware abstraction layer"

if [ -f /etc/default/hal ] ; then
. /etc/default/hal
fi

if [ ! -d $PIDDIR ]; then
mkdir -p $PIDDIR
chown $DAEMONUSER:$DAEMONUSER $PIDDIR
fi

echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
$DAEMON --daemon=no $DAEMON_OPTS
echo "$NAME."
}
}

====gdm.i====

{{path|daemon/gdm.i}}, to add locale support to the GDM login screen:
service daemon/gdm {
need = system/initial system/mountfs system/hostname net/lo system/modules system/bootmisc
use = daemon/xfs system/static-modules system/coldplug system/netmount
# daemon = /usr/sbin/gdm
# daemon = /usr/bin/gdm
# daemon_args = -nodaemon
daemon {
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
if [ -r /etc/default/gdm ]; then
. /etc/default/gdm
if [ -z "$LANG" ]; then
:
else
export LANG
fi
fi

gdm -nodaemon
}
#pid_file = /var/run/gdm.pid
}

====cupsd.i====
Somethings wrong in the way the initNG scripts loads cups with hplip.

I did an ugly hack: {{path|daemon/cupsd}}
service daemon/cupsd {
need = system/initial system/mountroot net/lo
# use = daemon/printconf daemon/hpiod daemon/hpssd
# daemon = /usr/sbin/cupsd
# daemon_args = -f
daemon {
/etc/init.d/hplip start
/etc/init.d/cupsys start
}
}

==Helpfull tools==
===Rovclock===
Utility to overclock and underclock the ATI radeon chip.
Can be used to underclock to reduce power, especialy when on batteries.

Get it from: [http://www.hasw.net/linux/ http://www.hasw.net/linux/]

Stable clock speeds:
Core: 100MHz
Memory: 120Mhz for LCP only, 180Mhz when using DVI out on port replicator.

Ex:
{{cmduser|sudo rovclock -c 100 -m 120}}

===noflushd===
Noflushd is a daemon that spins down disks that have not been read from
after a certain amount of time, and then prevents disk writes from
spinning them back up. It's targeted for laptops but can be used on any
computer with IDE disks. The effect is that the hard disk actually spins
down, saving you battery power, and shutting off the loudest component of
most computers.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get noflushd}}

===ifplugd===
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your
ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically
unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with
onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface
when a cable is really connected.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get ifplugd}}

{{path|/etc/default/ifplugd}}:
INTERFACES="eth0"
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth0"
ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I -b"
SUSPEND_ACTION="stop"

===gnubiff===

gnubiff is a mail notification program that checks for mail and displays headers when new mail has arrived. Has a tray icon for gnome. Supports SSL which I needed.
[http://gnubiff.sourceforge.net/ http://gnubiff.sourceforge.net/]

{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install gnubiff}}

Talk:Installing Ubuntu/Breezy on a ThinkPad T42

2005-10-20T05:48:49Z

Johannes: Maybe some answers!

Why is it important to turn off dynamicClocks in radeonfb in kernels before 2.6.14?

What is wrong with the wireless on/off script that comes with Breezy and is mapped to Fn-F5 out of the box? Why replace it?

Why use noflushd when Breezy comes with laptop-mode? Just enable it in /etc/default/acpi-support.

== Using Fn-F6 to enable/disable Bluetooth ==

First, to make sure Fn-F6 is available as a hotkey, either do

echo 0xffff > /proc/acpi/ibm/hotkey

(this will work until next reboot or suspend), or change the mask in /etc/modprobe.d/ibm_acpi.modprobe.

Next, create a shell script /etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh:

#!/bin/bash
# Enable/disable builtin Bluetooth on IBM Thinkpads
if grep -q enabled /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth; then
echo disable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
else
echo enable > /proc/acpi/ibm/bluetooth
fi

Next, create an event file /etc/acpi/events/ibm-bluetooth

# This is called when the user presses Fn-F6 button and calls
# /etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh for further processing.
event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00001006
action=/etc/acpi/bluetooth.sh

You might need to restart acpid for it to start working.

== Maybe some answers! ==

As it seems it is no longer neccesary to turn off dynamicClocks in radeonfb.
radeonfb previously had a the same bug as in Xorg, where dynamicClock locked up some maschines. For radeonfb this lock up came randomly.

xorg has fixed this bug from version 6.8.3... Ubuntu ships 6.8.2.. to bad! [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2187 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2187]

Changing the wireless.sh script is because of the initially ipw2100 off. This is a software off, not handled by the wireless.sh script, which only handles the hardware on/off, therefore we have to turn it "on" in both hw and sw.

The laptop-mode included is old! It doesn't handle hdd powermanagement properly. Noflushd is very easy to install.
[http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools/index.html http://www.xs4all.nl/~bsamwel/laptop_mode/tools/index.html]

Instead of noflushd I suggest you use laptop-mode-tools which is newer and actually works.

Good idea with the bluetooth. Right now Breezy turns both blutooth and wireless on/off with Fn-F5.

==Helpfull tools==
===Rovclock===
Utility to overclock and underclock the ATI radeon chip.
Can be used to underclock to reduce power, especialy when on batteries.

Get it from: [http://www.hasw.net/linux/ http://www.hasw.net/linux/]

Stable clock speeds:
Core: 100MHz
Memory: 120Mhz for LCP only, 180Mhz when using DVI out on port replicator.

Ex:
{{cmduser|sudo rovclock -c 100 -m 120}}

===noflushd===
Noflushd is a daemon that spins down disks that have not been read from
after a certain amount of time, and then prevents disk writes from
spinning them back up. It's targeted for laptops but can be used on any
computer with IDE disks. The effect is that the hard disk actually spins
down, saving you battery power, and shutting off the loudest component of
most computers.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get noflushd}}

===ifplugd===
ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your
ethernet device when a cable is plugged in and automatically
unconfigure it if the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with
onboard network adapters, since it will only configure the interface
when a cable is really connected.
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get ifplugd}}

{{path|/etc/default/ifplugd}}:
INTERFACES="eth0"
HOTPLUG_INTERFACES="eth0"
ARGS="-q -f -u0 -d10 -w -I -b"
