<div>This page describes issues and solutions for getting Ubuntu 9.04 working on a T61p.<br />
<br />
=Hardware=<br />
==Works Out of the Box==<br />
*Wireless (Intel 3945ABG or 4965AGN)<br />
*Touchpoint<br />
*Trackpad<br />
**Trackpad scrolling<br />
*Sound card<br />
**Volume up/down/mute buttons<br />
**Audio out<br />
*FN keys<br />
**numlock<br />
**Lock computer<br />
**Battery information<br />
**Screen brightness control<br />
**Thinklight control<br />
**sleep<br />
**WLAN/BT on/off toggle<br />
**Media player control<br />
*Wired LAN<br />
*ultranav scrolling<br />
*Optical drive<br />
*SD/MMC Memory card reader<br />
*ACPI<br />
**Battery status, power graphs, and history<br />
**Lid open/close<br />
**Suspend to RAM (with lvm encryption, but this shouldn't matter)<br />
<br />
==Needs Tweaks==<br />
*Video<br />
**Nvidia drivers can be loaded by either:<br />
***Enabling the restricted repository and running {{cmduser|sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180}}<br />
***Installing the envyng-core package and running {{cmduser|envyng -t}}<br />
*Sound In:<br />
**Must be unmuted in Volume Control (Click on volume tray icon, click on Volume Control, select Capture: HDA Intel - AD198x)<br />
**Internal mic is very quiet relative to line in, so you may have to turn it above 100% using the Manager utility from the padevchooser package.<br />
*ThinkFinger<br />
Append following line to '/etc/apt/sources.list':<br />
<nowiki>deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-oberheide/ubuntu jaunty main</nowiki><br />
Execute:<br />
<nowiki>sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger libthinkfinger0</nowiki><br />
Restart<br />
Execute:<br />
<nowiki>tf-tool --acquire && tf-tool --verify</nowiki><br />
*Card Reader<br />
Append the following to '/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf':<br />
<nowiki><br />
# Seems the ricoh_mmc driver screws up the internal card reader so we'll blacklist it until it's fixed<br />
blacklist ricoh_mmc<br />
</nowiki><br />
<br />
==Doesn't Work==<br />
*ACPI<br />
**Suspend to Disk (tested with LVM encryption): Successfully unlocks encrypted volume and starts "waking up stage." Video then becomes corrupted and computer locks up.<br />
==Untested==<br />
*fingerprint reader<br />
<br />
=Other Issues=<br />
=Compared to 8.10=<br />
==Improvements==<br />
==Bugs and Regressions==<br />
*Restricted Driver panel does not immediately suggest the installation of the Nvidia binary driver as it did in previous releases. See fixes in Tweaks section.<br />
*Card Reader doesn't work with latest Jaunty kernels. Fix mentioned above in Tweaks section</div>Kslaterhttps://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Installing_Ubuntu_9.04_(Jaunty_Jackalope)_on_a_ThinkPad_T61p&diff=44033Installing Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) on a ThinkPad T61p2009-09-01T14:37:08Z<p>Kslater: /* Bugs and Regressions */</p>
