Installing OpenSUSE Leap 42.2 on a ThinkPad T500

2017-04-16T12:19:55Z

Johnny: Added initial installation instruction for openSUSE Leap 42.2.

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{T500}} 2056-Y4R, BIOS 6FET93WW (3.23), ECP 7VHT16WW (1.06)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} Leap 42.2 DVD installation using KDE. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older {{Install|OpenSUSE| 13.2| T500}} for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here. However, almost everything seems to work fine.

== Graphics ==
Since the default BIOS settings [[Switchable Graphics]] caused high power consumption in the past, I changed the BIOS settings from Switchable to Internal graphics ''before'' installation. Please read [[Switchable Graphics]] for the pros and cons. Note that I did ''not'' test the ATI graphics.
{{NOTE|Any time you change the BIOS setting after installation, you may have to execute {{cmdroot|mkinitrd}} in order to prevent loading of unnecessary modules.}}

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. Note that I neither tested Switchable Graphics nor Suspend to Disk.

Installation instructions for the ThinkPad T500

Johnny: /* openSUSE */ Added installation instruction for Leap 42.2 and T500

Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad {{T500}}.

==General Notes==
T61 is running out of life and had a very good linux support. {{T500}} is one of the follow-ups with a new and more performant hardware. Can it stay up with the linux Compability of the T61 series?

== Good News ==

Ubuntu 9.10 works great on my T500, with suspend, hibernate, sound, wifi, out of the box. I'm amazed.

== LCD Brightness Buttons ==
The LCD brightness buttons stopped working because of a change in the 3.7 kernel. Adding {{bootparm|acpi_osi|\"!Windows 2012\"}} as a kernel boot parameter using YaST reverts to the old kernel behavior. However, there is no on-screen display feedback in KDE.

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. Unfortunately, the ThinkPad often reboots instead of shutting down. Installing the [[Laptop-mode-tools]] might help.[https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848889] But thereby [[How_to_reduce_power_consumption#SATA_Link_Power_Management|SATA Link Power Management]] will be activated by default and the Intel SSD 520 with 180 GB and 240 GB could time out on heavy I/O load. There is a "beta" firmware update (LB3i) from Lenovo, but yet only for windows.[http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/x230-SATA-errors-with-180GB-Intel-520-SSD-under-heavy-write-load/m-p/1540734#M57711] Without the update, you have to set {{bootparm|INTEL_SATA_POWER|"0"}} in {{path|/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/intel-sata-powermgmt.conf}}.

However, there seems to be no need to install [[Laptop-mode-tools]] but to only set the PCI power management of the Ethernet controller

== Network ==

=== Bluetooth: Broadcom BCM20702 ===
The non-persistent firmware of this Bluetooth 4.0 adapter (USB ID 05ac:21e6) can be updated by the kernel. The kernel needs the firmware patch file {{path|/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e6.hcd}}. To get this file, download the current {{LNVDOCURL|DS103428|ThinkPad Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software for Windows 10}} installer and extract it using [https://software.opensuse.org/package/innoextract innoextract]. Then, convert the Windows firmware hex file {{path|app/Win64/BCM20702A1_001.002.014.1443.1453.hex}} using {{cmd|hex2hcd|}} from [https://software.opensuse.org/package/bluez bluez] and move the resulting hcd file to the location mentioned above.

{{HINT|
If you have a different Broadcom adapter, check the kernel log lines containing <tt>BCM</tt> for the name of the firmware patch file and the USB ID. Then, search for your USB ID (05ac:21e6 would be written as <tt>USB\VID_0A5C&PID_21E6</tt>) in {{path|app/Win64/bcbtums-win8x64-brcm.inf}} of the extracted Windows installer. The first part of this line will define a <tt>DeviceDesc</tt> like <tt>BlueRAMUSB21E6</tt>. Search again for a section containing this string that defines <tt>CopyFiles</tt> like <tt>RAMUSB21E6.CopyList</tt>. Then search for the section named like this string, it contains the correct name of the firmware hex file.}}

=== GPS ===
The [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module|Ericsson HSPA+ WWAN Minicard (H5321gw)]] must be configured every time before it emits GPS data, see [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module#GPS|H5321gw GPS]].

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{T500}} 2056-Y4R, BIOS 6FET92WW (3.22), ECP 7VHT16WW (1.06)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} 13.2 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older {{Install|OpenSUSE| 12.3| T500}} for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here. However, almost everything seems to work fine.

== Graphics ==
Since the default BIOS settings [[Switchable Graphics]] caused high power consumption in the past, I changed the BIOS settings from Switchable to Internal graphics ''before'' installation. Please read [[Switchable Graphics]] for the pros and cons. Note that I did ''not'' test the ATI graphics.
{{NOTE|Any time you change the BIOS setting after installation, you may have to execute {{cmdroot|mkinitrd}} in order to prevent loading of unnecessary modules.}}

== Network ==

If you enable autofs, the system will not boot correctly anymore. [https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=905639] If you do not mind users logging in before the autofs mounts are available, use this workaround: disable autofs.service, copy {{path|/usr/lib/systemd/system/autofs.service}} to {{path|/etc/systemd/system/autofs.service}}, remove the line <tt>Before=systemd-logind.service</tt> from {{path|/etc/systemd/system/autofs.service}}, enable autofs.service.

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. Note that I neither tested Switchable Graphics nor Suspend to Disk.

Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad {{T500}}.

==General Notes==
T61 is running out of life and had a very good linux support. {{T500}} is one of the follow-ups with a new and more performant hardware. Can it stay up with the linux Compability of the T61 series?

__TOC__

== Lenovo Partnumbers ==
* FRU 0A36319

== Overview ==
Using
for n in `ls /sys/class/*/*{ACM,wdm}*/device/interface`;do echo $(echo $n|awk -F '/' '{print $5}') : $(cat $n);done
the card identifies it's interfaces as
ttyACM0 : H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Modem
ttyACM1 : H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Data Modem
ttyACM2 : H5321 gw Mobile Broadband GPS Port
cdc-wdm0 : H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Device Management
cdc-wdm1 : H5321 gw Mobile Broadband USIM Port

==Wireless Modem==
The card works out of the box with the cdc_acm driver using NetworkManager tested on openSUSE 12.2, 12.3, and 13.1 (cdc_acm, cdc_wdm, cdc_ncm).

== GPS ==

Basically, the NMEA stream can be activated the same way as described in [[Ericsson F3507g Mobile Broadband Module#Using the card as a GPS receiver]]. E.g., to configure the GPS receiver to update every second and turn DGPS on, do {{cmdroot|echo -e "AT*E2GPSCTL{{{|=}}}1,1,1\r" >/dev/ttyACM1}}. Then, the NMEA stream on <tt>/dev/ttyACM2</tt> is activated by {{cmdroot|echo -e "AT*E2GPSNPD\r" >/dev/ttyACM2}}. However, the stream ends as soon as the <tt>/dev/ttyACM2</tt> device file is no longer opened.

=== gpsd ===
{{cmdroot|gpsd /dev/ttyACM2}} will wait for a client, e.g. {{cmduser|xgps}}, before opening the <tt>/dev/ttyACM2</tt> device file and polling GPS. Therefore, {{cmdroot|echo -e "AT*E2GPSNPD\r" >/dev/ttyACM2}} is needed '''after''' the first client connects. When the last client is closed, the device file will be closed and the NMEA stream stops.

=== Mobile Broadband Modules ===
There is an unmaintained project [http://mbm.sourceforge.net/ Mobile Broadband Modules] created by Ericsson. It does not support the H5321 gw, the daemon won't start using modern kernels [https://github.com/mkotsbak/Mbm-gpsd/issues/2] and the GUI won't compile with latest glib.

Here is someone who seems to have got something to work recently [http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?set=custom&viewmonth=&viewday=&forum_name=mbm-devel&style=nested&max_rows=50&submit=Change+View]

Using a recent distribution, it is possible to get the mbm-gpsd compiling and running. You need to install basic C development packages. Using openSUSE 12.3, the following additional packages are needed: dbus-1-devel, dbus-1-glib-devel, libudev-devel, libnl-1, mozilla-nss-devel, mozilla-nspr-devel, gtk-doc, docbook-dsssl-stylesheets, docbook-xsl-stylesheets, docbook_3, docbook_4, iso_ent, libsource-hightlight4, libxslt-tools, openjade, source-highlight, and xmlcharent. Furthermore, you must add "--disable-more-warnings" to the autogen.sh command line and modify the provided udev rule to support the H5321 gw.

Installing OpenSUSE 13.1 on a ThinkPad T430s

2014-05-11T14:09:05Z

Johnny: /* Power Management */ Removed link to unrelated bug report.

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{T430s}} 2356-LPG, BIOS G7ET90WW (2.50), ECP G7HT36WW (1.12)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} 13.1 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager.

== Graphics ==
Using the default BIOS settings, the [[Switchable Graphics]] with [[Intel HD Graphics]] and [[NVIDIA Optimus]] may cause high power consumption. Thus, if you do not need the NVIDIA Optimus graphics, change the BIOS settings from Switchable to Internal graphics ''before'' installation. Please read [[Switchable Graphics]] for the pros and cons. Note that I did ''not'' test the NVIDIA Optimus graphics.
{{NOTE|Any time you change the BIOS setting after installation, you may have to execute {{cmdroot|mkinitrd}} in order to prevent loading of unnecessary modules.}}

== Network ==

=== GPS ===
The [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module|Ericsson HSPA+ WWAN Minicard (H5321gw)]] must be configured every time before it emits GPS data, see [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module#GPS|H5321gw GPS]].

== LCD Brightness Buttons ==
The LCD brightness buttons stopped working because of a change in the 3.7 kernel. Adding {{bootparm|acpi_osi|\"!Windows 2012\"}} as a kernel boot parameter using YaST reverts to the old kernel behavior. However, there is no on-screen display feedback in KDE.

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. Unfortunately, the ThinkPad often reboots instead of shutting down. Installing the [[Laptop-mode-tools]] might help.[https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=848889] But thereby [[How_to_reduce_power_consumption#SATA_Link_Power_Management|SATA Link Power Management]] will be activated by default and the Intel SSD 520 with 180 GB and 240 GB could time out on heavy I/O load.

Installing OpenSUSE 11.2 on a ThinkPad R61

2014-02-01T21:12:34Z

Johnny: /* Power Management */ Removed TODO.

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{R61}} 8919-6VG, BIOS 7KETC9WW (2.29), ECP 7KHT24WW (1.08)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} 11.2 Final DVD installation using KDE 4.3.5 as window manager. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older {{Install|OpenSUSE| 11.1| R61}} for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here.

== Graphics: NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M ==
To install and configure the NVIDIA driver, follow the instructions of the openSUSE Wiki [http://en.opensuse.org/Nvidia]. As an alternative, add the NVIDIA Repository via Software, Software Repositories, Add, Community Repositories in YaST.

== UltraNav ==

=== TouchPad ===
I do not use the TouchPad, thus, I disabled it in the BIOS settings.

=== TrackPoint ===
The [[TrackPoint]] can be used to perform scrolling, similar to Windows, by holding down the middle button and moving the TrackPoint. Horizontal scrolling is now enabled by default. The Opera browser moves forward and backward in its history instead, see [[How to configure the TrackPoint#Configure Opera for using trackpoint horizontal scrolling|here]] to fix it or disable horizontal scrolling completely by:
xinput set-prop "TPPS/2 IBM TrackPoint" "Evdev Wheel Emulation Axes" 8 -1 -1 4 5

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box.

== Integrated Fingerprint Reader ==
The [[Integrated Fingerprint Reader]] is a UPEK TouchStrip (USB vendor ID 0x147e). But the driver is only included in the development version of libfprint. Since the current release 0.0.6 is provided by the distribution, the reader does not work.

Lenovo Thinkpad {{T430s}} 2356-LPG, BIOS G7ET90WW (2.50), ECP G7HT36WW (1.12)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} 13.1 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager.

== Graphics ==
Using the default BIOS settings, the [[Switchable Graphics]] with [[Intel HD Graphics]] and [[NVIDIA Optimus]] may cause high power consumption. Thus, if you do not need the NVIDIA Optimus graphics, change the BIOS settings from Switchable to Internal graphics ''before'' installation. Please read [[Switchable Graphics]] for the pros and cons. Note that I did ''not'' test the NVIDIA Optimus graphics.
{{NOTE|Any time you change the BIOS setting after installation, you may have to execute {{cmdroot|mkinitrd}} in order to prevent loading of unnecessary modules.}}

== Network ==

=== GPS ===
The [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module|Ericsson HSPA+ WWAN Minicard (H5321gw)]] must be configured every time before it emits GPS data, see [[Ericsson H5321 gw Mobile Broadband Module#GPS|H5321gw GPS]].

== LCD Brightness Buttons ==
The LCD brightness buttons stopped working because of a change in the 3.7 kernel. Adding {{bootparm|acpi_osi|\"!Windows 2012\"}} as a kernel boot parameter using YaST reverts to the old kernel behavior. However, there is no on-screen display feedback in KDE.

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. However, sometimes the ThinkPad reboots instead of shutting down. Installing the [[Laptop-mode-tools]] might help.[https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=853116] But thereby [[How_to_reduce_power_consumption#SATA_Link_Power_Management|SATA Link Power Management]] will be activated by default and the Intel SSD 520 with 180 GB and 240 GB could time out on heavy I/O load. There is no fix from Lenovo, yet.[https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51861][http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T430s-Intel-SSD-520-180GB-issue/td-p/888083] So, you have to set {{bootparm|INTEL_SATA_POWER|"0"}} in {{path|/etc/laptop-mode/conf.d/intel-sata-powermgmt.conf}}

Installing OpenSUSE 12.3 on a ThinkPad T500

2013-08-20T21:33:44Z

Johnny: Added section LCD Brightness Buttons

== Model ==
Lenovo Thinkpad {{T500}} 2056-Y4R, BIOS 6FET92WW (3.22), ECP 7VHT16WW (1.06)

== General ==
This installation instruction describes these parts that do not or do not completely work after my {{OpenSUSE}} 12.3 DVD installation using KDE 4 as window manager. If anything does not work as expected, please have a look at the older {{Install|OpenSUSE| 12.1| T500}} for possible workarounds that I forgot to mention here. However, almost everything seems to work fine.

== Graphics ==
Since the default BIOS settings [[Switchable Graphics]] caused high power consumption in the past, I changed the BIOS settings from Switchable to Internal graphics ''before'' installation. Please read [[Switchable Graphics]] for the pros and cons. Note that I did ''not'' test the ATI graphics.
{{NOTE|Any time you change the BIOS setting after installation, you may have to execute {{cmdroot|mkinitrd}} in order to prevent loading of unnecessary modules.}}

== Power Management ==
Suspend to RAM works out of the box. Note that I neither tested the default Switchable graphics BIOS setting nor Suspend to Disk.

== LCD Brightness Buttons ==
The LCD brightness buttons do actually work, however, there is no on-screen display feedback.
