= Tested and Verified on Fedora 11 =

Information in this section has been tested and verified using Fedora 11, including the pre-release (post-beta) version. The development version of Fedora 11 (rawhide) is quite stable and even suitable for day-to-day use, if you are a bit brave. You will be automatically switched over to the release version of Fedora 11 if you keep everything up to date.

== Installation ==

Installation is straight forward; you can follow the generic Fedora install instructions.

== Configuration ==

=== X Server (Intel)===
Basic X server functionality should work out of the box on the ThinkPad LCD (LVDS), as long as no external displays are attached at boot.

Fedora 11 uses KMS (Kernel Mode Setting) by default, which for now has some up and down sides for external displays.

For the moment external displays do not work. When you boot with an external display attached, you will get a non-optimal resolution on the external display, and the LVDS will be off. When you logon the system will hang, and you will have a black display, but with functioning mouse cursor. Attaching a display afterwards also freezes the system when you try to active extended desktop.

Another down side is that currently mirror mode is very limited as the ThinkPad LCD (LVDS) is limited to one single display mode, so only if the external display supports this same mode can you activate mirror mode. On the other hand with KMS enabled the maximum virtual display size is now 4096x4096 (2048x2048 without KMS) meaning you can have an extended desktop.

A workaround to the single mode problem is to add the modes manually with xrandr. Below is a script I created that adds the most common modes for a 1400x1050 LCD ThinkPad

<pre>
#!/bin/bash
#
# modelines created with "gtf 640 480 60"
#
xrandr --newmode "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --newmode "1024x768_60.00" 64.11 1024 1080 1184 1344 768 769 772 795 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --newmode "800x600_60.00" 38.22 800 832 912 1024 600 601 604 622 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --newmode "640x480_60.00" 23.86 640 656 720 800 480 481 484 497 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode LVDS1 "1280x1024_60.00"
xrandr --addmode LVDS1 "1024x768_60.00"
xrandr --addmode LVDS1 "800x600_60.00"
xrandr --addmode LVDS1 "640x480_60.00"
</pre>

=== X Server (ATI)===
On a T60p, displays work well, with multiple mirrored and non-mirrored displays and even with one of the displays being rotated! This may also work on a base T60, as there has been a lot of effort put into getting this to work right.

One thing that still doesn't work quite right is screensavers and screen blanking. There is something wrong with the timers, which may result in your screen blanking while you are typing. Recovery is a simple as waiting until the screen is completely blank and then type or click to wake up the screen.

Another thing that doesn't work quite right is screen resolution when booting with multiple screens. If one screen doesn't not have a preferred resolution, a poor resolution may be used for both screens during the booting process. Everything works fine after login, however.

==== Desktop Effects ====
Compiz (wobbly windows, desktops on a cube) seems to work. Direct display of video may be problematic with Compiz, however.

=== dpi ===
On the 1400x1050 (and 1600x1200) LCD Fedora comes up with a DPI of 124 (or higher). While this is correct for the physical screen size, it waists a lot of screen real estate.

To change to the more typical 96 DPI, go to System -> Preferences -> Appearance. Now in Appearance Preferences select the Fonts tab and press the "Details ..." button. Here you can change the dots per inch to 96. Of course, many things will shrink, but that is what you wanted, after all.

=== Wireless Network ===

Both the Intel and Atheros wireless should work out of the box.
====Atheros WiFi====
Atheros was tested and works, but you may encounter occasional disconnects and reconnects. In addition you might have problems after a suspend cycle. It seems the Atheros chip can get stuck sometimes, require a shutdown (not just a reboot) before the driver can initialize the chip again. Also the WiFi LED remains off.

As a test I tried the 2.6.31-0.21.rc0.git18.fc12 kernel from rawhide, but it does not seem to make any big difference. Still disconnects, but at least the WiFi activity LED works.

====Intel WiFi====
Intel wireless was tested and works.

=== ThinkPad keys ===
ThinkPad keys are handled by a mixture of the thinkpad_acpi, acpi button, acpi dock and acpi video drivers.
{{NOTE|Due to Xorg limitations, some keys that cause HAL events work with Xorg and others do not (Fn-Space). This is a known limitation that should be fixed with the next major Xorg (v1.7) release.}}

=== Ultrabay ===

The Ultrabay has some glitches out of the box with respect to hotswapping. It is possible to lock the machine when pulling out devices, even the CD/DVD device.

The culprit is that the Ultrabay pre-eject switch is not hooked into anything useful. It does cause udev events, but nothing is listening for them. When a device that has a mounted partition or CD is actually pulled out it is too late to do the right thing. Fedora 11 will usually just complain, sometimes bitterly, but may also lock up for some unknown reason, even if just pulling out a CD/DVD device with a mounted CD.

Manually unmounting before removal will help. Manual powering down may also be required for correct performance.

A better solution is to set up a udev rule and script to handle the pre-eject switch event for Ultrabay devices that have mountable things in them as in [How to hotswap Ultrabay devices].

The revised solution here works well. Pushing the pre-eject switch either does the unmounting and powering off and then emits a low beep, or fails and then emits a triple beep. After success the device can be safely removed or the eject lever can be pushed back and everything will be remounted. After failure pushing the eject lever back in does nothing, permitting continuing as if nothing happened or allowing changes to be made before the next attempt to remove.

Unfortunately the code below is complex and may be fragile. A better solution would be very useful.

To set this solution up, first
create the file {{path|/etc/udev/rules.d/50-thinkpad-ultrabay.rules}} with the following content

ENV{BAY_EVENT}=="3", ACTION=="change", SUBSYSTEM=="scsi", RUN+="/usr/local/sbin/ultrabay_eject"
Make sure it is owned by root and has the right selinux security context
chown root:root /etc/udev/rules.d/50-thinkpad-ultrabay.rules
chmod 644 /etc/udev/rules.d/50-thinkpad-ultrabay.rules
chcon system_u:object_r:etc_runtime_t:s0 /etc/udev/rules.d/50-thinkpad-ultrabay.rules

Then create the executable file {{path|/usr/local/sbin/ultrabay_eject}} with the following content
<pre>
#!/bin/bash

ULTRABAY_SYSDIR=/sys$DEVPATH
shopt -s nullglob
logger ultrabay_eject storage device $DEVPATH

exit 1;
}

echo 1 > $ULTRABAY_SYSDIR/delete
else

exit 1

sleep 1

</pre>
Then make sure ownership and permissions are set correct
chown root:root /usr/local/sbin/ultrabay_eject
chmod 555 /usr/local/sbin/ultrabay_eject

===IrDA===
IrDA is detected, but does not work. Part of the problem is that the default Fedora configuration expects to find the IrDA port at /dev/ttyS2, while it should use /dev/ircomm0 instead. This can be fixed in {{path|/etc/sysconfig/irda}} after which the irda service can be started ({{cmdroot|service irda start}}).

However, even after this communication with other devices fails. irdadump does not show any output when something like a mobile phone with IrDA is sending data.
== Untested on Fedora 11 ==

The Fingerprint reader and the WWAN options have not been tested yet. If you tried them with Fedora 11, please update the table.

Talk:Installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad 560E

2009-06-24T18:34:53Z

Whizkid: Works with 9.04

I just got this to work again. I used the 386 version of the netboot image for 9.04, although the regular (non-386) version might have worked. --[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 18:34, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad 560E

2009-06-24T18:33:50Z

Whizkid: Minor update

=Introduction=
The 560E is a capable ultra-portable machine, but lacks booting options. I used a PCMCIA CF card reader and a PCMCIA wired network card to install Ubuntu. A bare minimum install of Ubuntu requires 32MB RAM. Consider adding a 64MB stick to your 560E to fully load it with 80MB RAM.

2GB of disk space is required for a typical install. The 560E can handle drives at least up to 8GB and possibly larger.

=Preparation=
* Get an Ubuntu netboot image
* Insert card reader into another Linux laptop
dd if=boot.img of=/dev/sdb
* Change boot order on 560E to PCMCIA then hard disk
* Insert card reader and network card and start machine

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2009-06-08T22:42:56Z

Whizkid: /* Verizon EVDO */

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is mostly current for Fedora 10. Fedora 11 pre-release has just been released, in a little under a month it will go gold.

== Installation Methods ==
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

== Pre-installation ==
Fedora 10 supports shrinking NTFS partitions during installation. But be aware that windows needs to have done a clean shutdown, and cannot be in hibernation mode as otherwise you cannot shrink the filesystem.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

== Installation Steps ==
For any disc, I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. Anaconda is the name of Fedora's installer program.
=== Installation DVD ===
*Boot the DVD. Skip ahead to '''Anaconda'''.
=== Live CD ===
*Boot the CD. After some initialization, you are eventually presented with the login screen. Click '''Fedora Live''' or wait 60 seconds. You are presented with the GNOME desktop. Double-click the icon titled '''Install to Hard Drive'''. Continue to the next section.
=== Anaconda ===
*You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're here for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next. (Not presented if using LiveCD. It uses the current language.)
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.
If you selected advanced option configuration, you are asked where the boot loader should be installed. Select the first sector of the boot partition, not the MBR, if you want ThinkVantage to work at startup, or if you want another OS to manage the boot process. Click Next.
*You are asked whether the wired Ethernet controller should be active on boot. Since I use mine with WiFi most of the time, I turn that off and set the hostname manually. Click Next. Click Continue to confirm no network devices at boot if asked.
*Select your time zone, choose whether or not the clock uses UTC and click Next.
*Enter your root password. Do it again. Click Next.
*If using the DVD, the installer looks for common installation packages. Since everything is out of date already, I turn off all options and customize later. Click Next. The installer checks dependencies.
*You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive with the DVD, or about 6 minutes using the LiveCD.

== First Boot ==
*A welcome screen is presented. Your screen should now be in its native resolution. Click Forward.
*A license information screen is presented. Click Forward.
*Set your local date and time. Click Forward.
*Your hardware profile is shown. If you opt in and send your profile, your machine is counted by the Fedora team to get an idea of the population on which Fedora runs. Consider opting in to let them know we have these machines and want Fedora to run well on them. Click Forward.
*Create a user. Click Finish. Done!

== Get Updates ==
Get a network connection going and get all recent updates. Reboot if a new kernel is installed. I like to use NetworkManager.

=== Configuring NetworkManager ===
NetworkManager is not perfect, but it's a convenient way to connect to different networks, especially wireless networks.

Your wired network will automatically connect (if there is link) and your wireless networks should now be visible.
To connect to a wireless network, click the NetworkManager notification icon and click the network to join.

Shortly after you connect to the internet, you should be notified that there are updates available. If you are asked for the install media, you can disable that repository.

== Device Configuration ==
=== Audio ===
The [[Intel 82801G HDA]] (ICH7 chipset) High Definition Audio Controller is identified and enabled automatically. The AD198x Analog PCM device works for audio. The Digital PCM device does not seem to work. Could it be that it only works in a dock?

{{NOTE|Analog audio seems to work fine in F10. I have a dock, but no digital audio devices to test if it works}}
=== Video Chip ===
==== ATI X1300 and ATI X1400 ====
{{NOTE| Updated for F10}}
Fedora includes the ''radeon'' driver that works with this card. Accelerated 2D works, including desktop effects. 3D works, but can exhibit artifacts with some software. Once Fedora is installed, add "nomodeset" to the end of your kernel line in grub.conf. Here's an example:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet nomodeset

The RadeonHD driver is recommended by Fedora team members are only useful for testing.

{{NOTE| This section is current for F8. Please update if you have more recent knowledge.}}
ATI's proprietary [[fglrx]] driver now works very well for the T60. The easiest way to get the driver and have automatic updates is to use the Livna repository.
* Click the Fedora 8 repository from the front page of [http://rpm.livna.org].
* Let the Fedora package installer install the RPM package.
* Select Applications->Add/Remove Software.
* Under RPM Fusion - Nonfree, check Hardware Support.
* Click Optional packages.
* Check '''xorg-x11-drv-fglrx''', close and Apply.
* Reboot the machine and log in. (Logging out is not sufficient.)
At this point, you should have 2D and 3D acceleration working. This is while using the vesa driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (...)
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
And while using the fglrx driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
To disable the '''fglrx''' driver and use '''vesa''':
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display disable
and reboot. Use '''enable''' to switch back to the fglrx driver.
Fedora does not install any 3D software by default, but several titles are available in the repositories. Other third-party applications work well too, including Google Earth.
To get desktop effects (transparent titles, wobbly windows, etc.) to work, install and run a 3D application such as Neverputt. Then select System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Desktop Effects and click '''Enable Desktop Effects'''.

==== Intel video ====
on T60 models with Intel video (i945), F10 detects the chip and ThinkPad display fine. And after updating to the latest RPM updates it automatically enabled clone mode on my external DVI display (connected through the Dock). I have not tested VGA.

What not works is extended desktop as the virtual display size cannot exceed 2048x2048 (HW limitation on Intel chips before the i965). This is a known problem [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10479]. Specifying a larger virtual desktop in xorg.conf just causes the Xserver to lockup.

Also the gnome display manager gets confused when you boot with external (only DVI tested) display attached. Clone mode is automatically enabled, but it cannot be disabled in display manager and it puts the location tag for the external display (Samsung 21" in my case) on both displays.
=== WiFi ===
==== Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG ====
The [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter]] is detected and enabled automatically. The activity indicator LED now works with the standard driver.

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2009-06-08T22:40:02Z

Whizkid: Updated for F10

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is mostly current for Fedora 10. Fedora 11 pre-release has just been released, in a little under a month it will go gold.

== Installation Methods ==
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

== Pre-installation ==
Fedora 10 supports shrinking NTFS partitions during installation. But be aware that windows needs to have done a clean shutdown, and cannot be in hibernation mode as otherwise you cannot shrink the filesystem.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

== Installation Steps ==
For any disc, I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. Anaconda is the name of Fedora's installer program.
=== Installation DVD ===
*Boot the DVD. Skip ahead to '''Anaconda'''.
=== Live CD ===
*Boot the CD. After some initialization, you are eventually presented with the login screen. Click '''Fedora Live''' or wait 60 seconds. You are presented with the GNOME desktop. Double-click the icon titled '''Install to Hard Drive'''. Continue to the next section.
=== Anaconda ===
*You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're here for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next. (Not presented if using LiveCD. It uses the current language.)
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.
If you selected advanced option configuration, you are asked where the boot loader should be installed. Select the first sector of the boot partition, not the MBR, if you want ThinkVantage to work at startup, or if you want another OS to manage the boot process. Click Next.
*You are asked whether the wired Ethernet controller should be active on boot. Since I use mine with WiFi most of the time, I turn that off and set the hostname manually. Click Next. Click Continue to confirm no network devices at boot if asked.
*Select your time zone, choose whether or not the clock uses UTC and click Next.
*Enter your root password. Do it again. Click Next.
*If using the DVD, the installer looks for common installation packages. Since everything is out of date already, I turn off all options and customize later. Click Next. The installer checks dependencies.
*You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive with the DVD, or about 6 minutes using the LiveCD.

== First Boot ==
*A welcome screen is presented. Your screen should now be in its native resolution. Click Forward.
*A license information screen is presented. Click Forward.
*Set your local date and time. Click Forward.
*Your hardware profile is shown. If you opt in and send your profile, your machine is counted by the Fedora team to get an idea of the population on which Fedora runs. Consider opting in to let them know we have these machines and want Fedora to run well on them. Click Forward.
*Create a user. Click Finish. Done!

== Get Updates ==
Get a network connection going and get all recent updates. Reboot if a new kernel is installed. I like to use NetworkManager.

=== Configuring NetworkManager ===
NetworkManager is not perfect, but it's a convenient way to connect to different networks, especially wireless networks.

Your wired network will automatically connect (if there is link) and your wireless networks should now be visible.
To connect to a wireless network, click the NetworkManager notification icon and click the network to join.

Shortly after you connect to the internet, you should be notified that there are updates available. If you are asked for the install media, you can disable that repository.

== Device Configuration ==
=== Audio ===
The [[Intel 82801G HDA]] (ICH7 chipset) High Definition Audio Controller is identified and enabled automatically. The AD198x Analog PCM device works for audio. The Digital PCM device does not seem to work. Could it be that it only works in a dock?

{{NOTE|Analog audio seems to work fine in F10. I have a dock, but no digital audio devices to test if it works}}
=== Video Chip ===
==== ATI X1300 and ATI X1400 ====
{{NOTE| Updated for F10}}
Fedora includes the ''radeon'' driver that works with this card. Accelerated 2D works, including desktop effects. 3D works, but can exhibit artifacts with some software. Once Fedora is installed, add "nomodeset" to the end of your kernel line in grub.conf. Here's an example:
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet nomodeset

The RadeonHD driver is recommended by Fedora team members are only useful for testing.

{{NOTE| This section is current for F8. Please update if you have more recent knowledge.}}
ATI's proprietary [[fglrx]] driver now works very well for the T60. The easiest way to get the driver and have automatic updates is to use the Livna repository.
* Click the Fedora 8 repository from the front page of [http://rpm.livna.org].
* Let the Fedora package installer install the RPM package.
* Select Applications->Add/Remove Software.
* Under RPM Fusion - Nonfree, check Hardware Support.
* Click Optional packages.
* Check '''xorg-x11-drv-fglrx''', close and Apply.
* Reboot the machine and log in. (Logging out is not sufficient.)
At this point, you should have 2D and 3D acceleration working. This is while using the vesa driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (...)
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
And while using the fglrx driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
To disable the '''fglrx''' driver and use '''vesa''':
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display disable
and reboot. Use '''enable''' to switch back to the fglrx driver.
Fedora does not install any 3D software by default, but several titles are available in the repositories. Other third-party applications work well too, including Google Earth.
To get desktop effects (transparent titles, wobbly windows, etc.) to work, install and run a 3D application such as Neverputt. Then select System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Desktop Effects and click '''Enable Desktop Effects'''.

==== Intel video ====
on T60 models with Intel video (i945), F10 detects the chip and ThinkPad display fine. And after updating to the latest RPM updates it automatically enabled clone mode on my external DVI display (connected through the Dock). I have not tested VGA.

What not works is extended desktop as the virtual display size cannot exceed 2048x2048 (HW limitation on Intel chips before the i965). This is a known problem [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10479]. Specifying a larger virtual desktop in xorg.conf just causes the Xserver to lockup.

Also the gnome display manager gets confused when you boot with external (only DVI tested) display attached. Clone mode is automatically enabled, but it cannot be disabled in display manager and it puts the location tag for the external display (Samsung 21" in my case) on both displays.
=== WiFi ===
==== Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG ====
The [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter]] is detected and enabled automatically. The activity indicator LED now works with the standard driver.

==== Atheros WiFi ====
The integrated WiFi gets automatically detected by the ath5k driver. However the driver is unstable, and I could only maintain network connectivity for ~15min before loosing the connection after which a reboot is required to get the driver working again (unload/reload of the driver does not work as the chip is locked up). This is a known problem [http://bugzilla.kernel.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=&content=ath5k] and might be resolved by using the latest [http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Download compat-wireless] package, but I have not tested it yet.

Currently, Fedora does not include a driver specific to this card. It selects the '''vesa''' driver, which works fine, but performance is slow. The RadeonHD driver is in progress but also has no accelerated video modes, so is not a recommended option at this time.
ATI's proprietary [[fglrx]] driver now works very well for the T60. The easiest way to get the driver and have automatic updates is to use the Livna repository.

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2008-07-17T19:42:05Z

Whizkid: Changed Category

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is current for Fedora 8. Fedora 9 Alhpa 1 has just been released, but we have a few months before that goes gold.

== Installation Methods ==
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

== Pre-installation ==
Fedora 8 does not have a method to shrink NTFS partitions during installation. You can use Knoppix or other LiveCD's to do that if you want to dual-boot. Links to pages on how to do that would be nice right about.... here.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

== Installation Steps ==
For any disc, I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. Anaconda is the name of Fedora's installer program.
=== Installation DVD ===
*Boot the DVD. Skip ahead to '''Anaconda'''.
=== Live CD ===
*Boot the CD. After some initialization, you are eventually presented with the login screen. Click '''Fedora Live''' or wait 60 seconds. You are presented with the GNOME desktop. Double-click the icon titled '''Install to Hard Drive'''. Continue to the next section.
=== Anaconda ===
*You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're here for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next. (Not presented if using LiveCD. It uses the current language.)
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.
If you selected advanced option configuration, you are asked where the boot loader should be installed. Select the first sector of the boot partition, not the MBR, if you want ThinkVantage to work at startup, or if you want another OS to manage the boot process. Click Next.
*You are asked whether the wired Ethernet controller should be active on boot. Since I use mine with WiFi most of the time, I turn that off and set the hostname manually. Click Next. Click Continue to confirm no network devices at boot if asked.
*Select your time zone, choose whether or not the clock uses UTC and click Next.
*Enter your root password. Do it again. Click Next.
*If using the DVD, the installer looks for common installation packages. Since everything is out of date already, I turn off all options and customize later. Click Next. The installer checks dependencies.
*You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive with the DVD, or about 6 minutes using the LiveCD.

== First Boot ==
During the first boot, the system may wait a long time while trying to connect to a WiFi access point, even though your WiFi card may not have been detected by the installer.
*A welcome screen is presented. Your screen should now be in its native resolution. Click Forward.
*A license information screen is presented. Click Forward.
*Firewall configuration is presented. Configure as you like. Click Forward.
*SELinux setting is presented. Click Forward.
*Set your local date and time. Click Forward.
*Your hardware profile is shown. If you opt in and send your profile, your machine is counted by the Fedora team to get an idea of the population on which Fedora runs. Consider opting in to let them know we have these machines and want Fedora to run well on them. Click Forward.
*Create a user. Click Finish. Done!

== Get Updates ==
Get a network connection going and get all recent updates. Reboot if a new kernel is installed. I like to use NetworkManager.

=== Configuring NetworkManager ===
This section does not apply if you login using network authentication. NetworkManager is not perfect, and requires you to enter a keyring password at times, but it's a convenient way to connect to different networks, especially wireless networks.
*First make sure neither network device is enabled at boot time. Network devices that are enabled at boot time will attempt to get an IP address using DHCP by default. If you are near a secured WiFi hotspot, you will not get an IP address and the system will wait until it times out. Select System->Administration->Network. For each device listed, double-click it and turn off '''Activate device when computer starts'''. You may wish to enable '''Allow all users to enable and disable the device'''. Save changes and quit.
*Select System->Administration->Services. Check NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher and start each one. Save the configuration.
Your wired network will automatically connect and your wireless networks should now be visible.
To connect to a wireless network, click the NetworkManager notification icon and click the network to join.

Shortly after you connect to the internet, you should be notified that there are updates available. If you are asked for the install media, you can disable that repository.

== Device Configuration ==
=== Audio ===
The [[Intel 82801G HDA]] (ICH7 chipset) High Definition Audio Controller is identified and enabled automatically. The AD198x Analog PCM device works for audio. The Digital PCM device does not seem to work. Could it be that it only works in a dock?

=== Video Chip ===
==== ATI X1300 and ATI X1400 ====
Currently, Fedora does not include a driver specific to this card. It selects the '''vesa''' driver, which works fine, but performance is slow. The RadeonHD driver is in progress but also has no accelerated video modes, so is not a recommended option at this time.
ATI's proprietary [[fglrx]] driver now works very well for the T60. The easiest way to get the driver and have automatic updates is to use the Livna repository.
* Click the Fedora 8 repository from the front page of [http://rpm.livna.org].
* Let the Fedora package installer install the RPM package.
* Select Applications->Add/Remove Software.
* Under RPM Fusion - Nonfree, check Hardware Support.
* Click Optional packages.
* Check '''xorg-x11-drv-fglrx''', close and Apply.
* Reboot the machine and log in. (Logging out is not sufficient.)
At this point, you should have 2D and 3D acceleration working. This is while using the vesa driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (...)
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
And while using the fglrx driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
To disable the '''fglrx''' driver and use '''vesa''':
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display disable
and reboot. Use '''enable''' to switch back to the fglrx driver.
Fedora does not install any 3D software by default, but several titles are available in the repositories. Other third-party applications work well too, including Google Earth.
To get desktop effects (transparent titles, wobbly windows, etc.) to work, install and run a 3D application such as Neverputt. Then select System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Desktop Effects and click '''Enable Desktop Effects'''.

==== Intel video ====
=== WiFi ===
==== Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG ====
The [[Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Mini-PCI Express Adapter]] is detected and enabled automatically. The activity indicator LED doesn't work with the standard driver. That appears to have been fixed in the latest version of the driver, but that is not yet in Fedora.

=== Pointing Devices ===
==== TrackPoint ====
The TrackPoint pointing device works automatically. Information on getting the middle button to act as a scroll wheel goes here.
==== Touch Pad ====
The touch pad is enabled and works automatically. Press-to-select is enabled by default.

=== Bluetooth ===
=== Fingerprint Reader ===
=== WWAN ===
==== Verizon EVDO ====
=== Special Keys ===
==== Fn+F2 Lock Screen ====
==== Fn+F3 Sleep ====
==== Fn+F4 Suspend to RAM (Standby) ====
Suspend to RAM works automatically. Closing the lid also put the machine into the same standby mode.

==== Fn+F5 Radio Control ====
==== Fn+F7 Display Selection ====
==== Fn+F8 Pointing Devices ====
==== Fn+F9 Eject ====
==== Fn+F12 Suspend to Disk (Hibernate) ====
Suspend to disk works automatically.

==== Fn+Home/End Brightness ====
Brightness control works automatically. GNOME's on-screen display for brightness works. When on AC, brightness is dimmed by default. To disable this, click System->Preferences->System->Power Management. Click the On Battery Power tab, and set the Dim display brightness by: slider to the desired amount.
==== Volume ====
Volume up, volume down and volume mute work automatically, as does the on-screen display.
==== ThinkVantage ====
This button doesn't do anything by default, and it's not obvious what it should do when running Linux, if anything.

=== Infrared ===

== Tuning ==
This section details how to tune your system for performance or battery life.
=== Powertop ===
Powertop is a program from Intel that monitors interrupts and shows how much time the CPU spends in each of its power states. It can suggest ways to keep the CPU idle unless necessary, which can save a lot of energy and increase your battery life. These two commands will get you started. Use '''visudoers''' to add accounts to the sudoers file.
sudo yum install powertop
sudo powertop

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2008-03-02T14:06:53Z

Whizkid: /* ATI X1300 and ATI X1400 */ Desktop effects

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is current for Fedora 8. Fedora 9 Alhpa 1 has just been released, but we have a few months before that goes gold.

== Installation Methods ==
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

== Pre-installation ==
Fedora 8 does not have a method to shrink NTFS partitions during installation. You can use Knoppix or other LiveCD's to do that if you want to dual-boot. Links to pages on how to do that would be nice right about.... here.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

== Installation Steps ==
For any disc, I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. Anaconda is the name of Fedora's installer program.
=== Installation DVD ===
*Boot the DVD. Skip ahead to '''Anaconda'''.
=== Live CD ===
*Boot the CD. After some initialization, you are eventually presented with the login screen. Click '''Fedora Live''' or wait 60 seconds. You are presented with the GNOME desktop. Double-click the icon titled '''Install to Hard Drive'''. Continue to the next section.
=== Anaconda ===
*You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're here for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next. (Not presented if using LiveCD. It uses the current language.)
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.

*You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive with the DVD, or about 6 minutes using the LiveCD.

=First Boot=
During the first boot, the system may wait a long time while trying to connect to a WiFi access point, even though your WiFi card may not have been detected by the installer.
*A welcome screen is presented. Your screen should now be in its native resolution. Click Forward.
*A license information screen is presented. Click Forward.
*Firewall configuration is presented. Configure as you like. Click Forward.
*SELinux setting is presented. Click Forward.
*Set your local date and time. Click Forward.
*Your hardware profile is shown. If you opt in and send your profile, your machine is counted by the Fedora team to get an idea of the population on which Fedora runs. Consider opting in to let them know we have these machines and want Fedora to run well on them. Click Forward.
*Create a user. Click Finish. Done!

=Get Updates=
Get a network connection going and get all recent updates. Reboot if a new kernel is installed. I like to use NetworkManager.
==Configuring NetworkManager==
This section does not apply if you login using network authentication. NetworkManager is not perfect, and requires you to enter a keyring password at times, but it's a convenient way to connect to different networks, especially wireless networks.
*First make sure neither network device is enabled at boot time. Network devices that are enabled at boot time will attempt to get an IP address using DHCP by default. If you are near a secured WiFi hotspot, you will not get an IP address and the system will wait until it times out. Select System->Administration->Network. For each device listed, double-click it and turn off '''Activate device when computer starts'''. You may wish to enable '''Allow all users to enable and disable the device'''. Save changes and quit.
*Select System->Administration->Services. Check NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher and start each one. Save the configuration.
Your wired network will automatically connect and your wireless networks should now be visible.
To connect to a wireless network, click the NetworkManager notification icon and click the network to join.

Shortly after you connect to the internet, you should be notified that there are updates available. If you are asked for the install media, you can disable that repository.

=Device Configuration=
==Audio==
The Intel 82801G (ICH7) High Definition Audio Controller is identified and enabled automatically. The AD198x Analog PCM device works for audio. The Digital PCM device does not seem to work. Could it be that it only works in a dock?
==Video Chip==
===ATI X1300 and ATI X1400===
Currently, Fedora does not include a driver specific to this card. It selects the '''vesa''' driver, which works fine, but performance is slow. The RadeonHD driver is in progress but also has no accelerated video modes, so is not a recommended option at this time.
ATI's proprietary '''fglrx''' driver now works very well for the T60. The easiest way to get the driver and have automatic updates is to use the Livna repository.
* Click the Fedora 8 repository from the front page of [http://rpm.livna.org].
* Let the Fedora package installer install the RPM package.
* Select Applications->Add/Remove Software.
* Under RPM Fusion - Nonfree, check Hardware Support.
* Click Optional packages.
* Check '''xorg-x11-drv-fglrx''', close and Apply.
* Reboot the machine and log in. (Logging out is not sufficient.)
At this point, you should have 2D and 3D acceleration working. This is while using the vesa driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (...)
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
And while using the fglrx driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
To disable the '''fglrx''' driver and use '''vesa''':
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display disable
and reboot. Use '''enable''' to switch back to the fglrx driver.
Fedora does not install any 3D software by default, but several titles are available in the repositories. Other third-party applications work well too, including Google Earth.

===Intel video===
==WiFi==
===Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG===
This card is detected and enabled automatically. The activity indicator LED doesn't work with the standard driver. That appears to have been fixed in the latest version of the driver, but that is not yet in Fedora.

==Pointing Devices==
===TrackPoint===
The TrackPoint pointing device works automatically. Information on getting the middle button to act as a scroll wheel goes here.
===Touch Pad===
The touch pad is enabled and works automatically. Press-to-select is enabled by default.

==Bluetooth==

===Fn+F7 Display Selection===
===Fn+F8 Pointing Devices===
===Fn+F9 Eject===
===Fn+F12 Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)===
Suspend to disk works automatically.

===Fn+Home/End Brightness===
Brightness control works automatically. GNOME's on-screen display for brightness works. When on AC, brightness is dimmed by default. To disable this, click System->Preferences->System->Power Management. Click the On Battery Power tab, and set the Dim display brightness by: slider to the desired amount.
===Volume===
Volume up, volume down and volume mute work automatically, as does the on-screen display.
===ThinkVantage===
This button doesn't do anything by default, and it's not obvious what it should do when running Linux, if anything.

==Infrared==

=Tuning=

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2008-02-21T16:52:43Z

Whizkid: /* Configuring NetworkManager */ Better wording.

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is current for Fedora 8. Fedora 9 Alhpa 1 has just been released, but we have a few months before that goes gold.

=Installation Methods=
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

=Pre-installation=
Fedora 8 does not have a method to shrink NTFS partitions during installation. You can use Knoppix or other LiveCD's to do that if you want to dual-boot. Links to pages on how to do that would be nice right about.... here.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

=Installation Steps=
For any disc, I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. Anaconda is the name of Fedora's installer program.
==Installation DVD==
*Boot the DVD. Skip ahead to '''Anaconda'''.
==Live CD==
*Boot the CD. After some initialization, you are eventually presented with the login screen. Click '''Fedora Live''' or wait 60 seconds. You are presented with the GNOME desktop. Double-click the icon titled '''Install to Hard Drive'''. Continue to the next section.
==Anaconda==
*You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're here for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next. (Not presented if using LiveCD. It uses the current language.)
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.
If you selected advanced option configuration, you are asked where the boot loader should be installed. Select the first sector of the boot partition, not the MBR, if you want ThinkVantage to work at startup, or if you want another OS to manage the boot process. Click Next.
*You are asked whether the wired Ethernet controller should be active on boot. Since I use mine with WiFi most of the time, I turn that off and set the hostname manually. Click Next. Click Continue to confirm no network devices at boot if asked.
*Select your time zone, choose whether or not the clock uses UTC and click Next.
*Enter your root password. Do it again. Click Next.
*If using the DVD, the installer looks for common installation packages. Since everything is out of date already, I turn off all options and customize later. Click Next. The installer checks dependencies.
*You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive with the DVD, or about 6 minutes using the LiveCD.

$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (...)

And while using the fglrx driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
Fedora does not install any 3D games by default. Neverputt (included in Neverball) is listed in Add/Remove Software under Applications, Games and Entertainment, Optional Packages and is not a huge download.
To disable the '''fglrx''' driver and use '''vesa''':
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display disable
and reboot. Use '''enable''' to switch back to the fglrx driver.

Whizkid: Update

The blank page is a scary thing...

Hi. I'm Chris. My first PC (after an Apple //c) was a ThinkPad 750P purchased new. I sold that, and after a few years, the friend I sold it to gave it back to me. I have had many ThinkPads over the years, and never any other laptop. I also have a couple IBM servers in the house. Awesome machines, each one.

Latest status:
* 750P - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS installed. No GUI attempted as of yet.
* 600X - Used sometimes for testing latest distributions.
* T60 - Daily use running Fedora 8 for web development, and Windows Vista for games.
* 560E and 570 just sit around collecting dust at the moment.

ThinkPads in the family I maintain:
* X22, 600E, A30

Linux still doesn't work perfectly on any of my ThinkPads, but I hope to get there some day.

You can check current BIOS and Embedded Controller versions using <b>dmidecode</b> command line tool. For example:
bash# dmidecode -s bios-version && dmidecode -t11
1RETDRWW (3.23 )
# dmidecode 2.9
SMBIOS 2.33 present.
Handle 0x0029, DMI type 11, 5 bytes
OEM Strings
String 1: IBM ThinkPad Embedded Controller -[1RHT71WW-3.04 ]-

The following table lists direct links to BIOS updates for most Thinkpad Models. Refer to [[BIOS Upgrade]] for instructions on how to perform a BIOS upgrade.

The '''FW model''' column is what actually identifies which sort of firmware (BIOS and Embedded Controller) should be installed in a ThinkPad. Machines with the same firmware model use the same BIOS and Embedded Controller firmware. It can also be found as the OEM table ID in the ACPI DSDT. It is formed by the characters "TP-", plus the first two characters from the BIOS/EC update part number.

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2008-02-11T00:08:26Z

Whizkid: /* Tuning */ Added lame powertop table

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is current for Fedora 8. Fedora 9 Alhpa 1 has just been released, but we have a few months before that goes gold.

=Installation Methods=
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

=Pre-installation=
Fedora 8 does not have a method to shrink NTFS partitions during installation. You can use Knoppix or other LiveCD's to do that if you want to dual-boot. Links to pages on how to do that would be nice right about.... here.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

=Installation Steps=
For any disc, I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. Anaconda is the name of Fedora's installer program.
==Installation DVD==
*Boot the DVD. Skip ahead to '''Anaconda'''.
==Live CD==
*Boot the CD. After some initialization, you are eventually presented with the login screen. Click '''Fedora Live''' or wait 60 seconds. You are presented with the GNOME desktop. Double-click the icon titled '''Install to Hard Drive'''. Continue to the next section.
==Anaconda==
*You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're here for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next. (Not presented if using LiveCD. It uses the current language.)
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.
If you selected advanced option configuration, you are asked where the boot loader should be installed. Select the first sector of the boot partition, not the MBR, if you want ThinkVantage to work at startup, or if you want another OS to manage the boot process. Click Next.
*You are asked whether the wired Ethernet controller should be active on boot. Since I use mine with WiFi most of the time, I turn that off and set the hostname manually. Click Next. Click Continue to confirm no network devices at boot if asked.
*Select your time zone, choose whether or not the clock uses UTC and click Next.
*Enter your root password. Do it again. Click Next.
*If using the DVD, the installer looks for common installation packages. Since everything is out of date already, I turn off all options and customize later. Click Next. The installer checks dependencies.
*You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive with the DVD, or about 6 minutes using the LiveCD.

=First Boot=
During the first boot, the system may wait a long time while trying to connect to a WiFi access point, even though your WiFi card may not have been detected by the installer.
*A welcome screen is presented. Your screen should now be in its native resolution. Click Forward.
*A license information screen is presented. Click Forward.
*Firewall configuration is presented. Configure as you like. Click Forward.
*SELinux setting is presented. Click Forward.
*Set your local date and time. Click Forward.
*Your hardware profile is shown. If you opt in and send your profile, your machine is counted by the Fedora team to get an idea of the population on which Fedora runs. Consider opting in to let them know we have these machines and want Fedora to run well on them. Click Forward.
*Create a user. Click Finish. Done!

=Get Updates=
Get a network connection going and get all recent updates. Reboot if a new kernel is installed. I like to use NetworkManager.
==Configuring NetworkManager==
This section does not apply if you login using network authentication.
*First make sure neither network device is enabled at boot time. Select System->Administration->Network. For each device listed, double-click it and turn off '''Activate device when computer starts'''. You may wish to enable '''Allow all users to enable and disable the device'''. Save changes and quit.
*Select System->Administration->Services. Check NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher and start each one. Save the configuration.
Your wired network will automatically connect and your wireless networks should now be visible.
To connect to a wireless network, click the NetworkManager notification icon and click the network to join. NetworkManager is not perfect, and requires you to enter a keyring password at times, but it's a nice way to connect to networks.

Shortly after you connect to the internet, you should be notified that there are updates available. If you are asked for the install media, you can disable that repository.

=Device Configuration=
==Audio==
The Intel 82801G (ICH7) High Definition Audio Controller is identified and enabled automatically. The AD198x Analog PCM device works for audio. The Digital PCM device does not seem to work. Could it be that it only works in a dock?
==Video Chip==
===ATI X1300 and ATI X1400===
Currently, Fedora does not include a driver specific to this card. It selects the '''vesa''' driver, which works fine, but performance is slow. The RadeonHD driver is in progress but also has no accelerated video modes, so is not a recommended option at this time.
ATI's proprietary '''fglrx''' driver now works very well for the T60. The easiest way to get the driver and have automatic updates is to use the Livna repository.
* Click the Fedora 8 repository from the front page of [http://rpm.livna.org].
* Let the Fedora package installer install the RPM package.
* Select Applications->Add/Remove Software.
* Under RPM Fusion - Nonfree, check Hardware Support.
* Click Optional packages.
* Check '''xorg-x11-drv-fglrx''', close and Apply.
* Reboot the machine and log in. (Logging out is not sufficient.)
At this point, you should have 2D and 3D acceleration working. This is while using the vesa driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: No (...)
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
And while using the fglrx driver:
$glxinfo | grep direct
direct rendering: Yes
Fedora does not install any 3D games by default. Neverputt (included in Neverball) is listed in Add/Remove Software under Applications, Games and Entertainment, Optional Packages and is not a huge download.
To disable the '''fglrx''' driver and use '''vesa''':
/usr/sbin/fglrx-config-display disable
and reboot. Use '''enable''' to switch back to the fglrx driver.

===Intel video===
==WiFi==
===Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG===
This card is detected and enabled automatically. The activity indicator LED doesn't work with the standard driver. That appears to have been fixed in the latest version of the driver, but that is not yet in Fedora.

==Pointing Devices==
===TrackPoint===
The TrackPoint pointing device works automatically. Information on getting the middle button to act as a scroll wheel goes here.
===Touch Pad===
The touch pad is enabled and works automatically. Press-to-select is enabled by default.

==Bluetooth==
==Fingerprint Reader==
==WWAN==
===Verizon EVDO===
==Special Keys==
===Fn+F2 Lock Screen===
===Fn+F3 Sleep===
===Fn+F4 Suspend to RAM (Standby) ===
Suspend to RAM works automatically. Closing the lid also put the machine into the same standby mode.

===Fn+F5 Radio Control===
===Fn+F7 Display Selection===
===Fn+F8 Pointing Devices===
===Fn+F9 Eject===
===Fn+F12 Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)===
Suspend to disk works automatically.

===Fn+Home/End Brightness===
Brightness control works automatically. GNOME's on-screen display for brightness works. When on AC, brightness is dimmed by default. To disable this, click System->Preferences->System->Power Management. Click the On Battery Power tab, and set the Dim display brightness by: slider to the desired amount.
===Volume===
Volume up, volume down and volume mute work automatically, as does the on-screen display.
===ThinkVantage===
This button doesn't do anything by default, and it's not obvious what it should do when running Linux, if anything.

==Infrared==

=Tuning=
This section details how to tune your system for performance or battery life. These are the numbers I got from PowerTop (yum install powertop to install this handy tool).

PowerTop didn't help at all this time. I was pretty sure it helped a lot when I installed from DVD. FIXME.

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2008-02-10T18:19:31Z

Whizkid: /* Anaconda */ LiveCD installation time

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is current for Fedora 8. Fedora 9 Alhpa 1 has just been released, but we have a few months before that goes gold.

=Installation Methods=
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

=Pre-installation=
Fedora 8 does not have a method to shrink NTFS partitions during installation. You can use Knoppix or other LiveCD's to do that if you want to dual-boot. Links to pages on how to do that would be nice right about.... here.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

=Installation Steps=
For any disc, I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. Anaconda is the name of Fedora's installer program.
==Installation DVD==
*Boot the DVD. Skip ahead to '''Anaconda'''.
==Live CD==
*Boot the CD. After some initialization, you are eventually presented with the login screen. Click '''Fedora Live''' or wait 60 seconds. You are presented with the GNOME desktop. Double-click the icon titled '''Install to Hard Drive'''. Continue to the next section.
==Anaconda==
*You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're here for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next. (Not presented if using LiveCD. It uses the current language.)
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.
If you selected advanced option configuration, you are asked where the boot loader should be installed. Select the first sector of the boot partition, not the MBR, if you want ThinkVantage to work at startup, or if you want another OS to manage the boot process. Click Next.
*You are asked whether the wired Ethernet controller should be active on boot. Since I use mine with WiFi most of the time, I turn that off and set the hostname manually. Click Next. Click Continue to confirm no network devices at boot if asked.
*Select your time zone, choose whether or not the clock uses UTC and click Next.
*Enter your root password. Do it again. Click Next.
*If using the DVD, the installer looks for common installation packages. Since everything is out of date already, I turn off all options and customize later. Click Next. The installer checks dependencies.
*You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive with the DVD, or about 6 minutes using the LiveCD.

=First Boot=
During the first boot, the system may wait a long time while trying to connect to a WiFi access point, even though your WiFi card may not have been detected by the installer.
*A welcome screen is presented. Your screen should now be in its native resolution. Click Forward.
*A license information screen is presented. Click Forward.
*Firewall configuration is presented. Configure as you like. Click Forward.
*SELinux setting is presented. Click Forward.
*Set your local date and time. Click Forward.
*Your hardware profile is shown. If you opt in and send your profile, your machine is counted by the Fedora team to get an idea of the population on which Fedora runs. Consider opting in to let them know we have these machines and want Fedora to run well on them. Click Forward.
*Create a user. Click Finish. Done!

=Get Updates=
Get a network connection going and get all recent updates. Reboot if a new kernel is installed. I like to use NetworkManager.
==Configuring NetworkManager==
This section does not apply if you login using network authentication.
*First make sure neither network device is enabled at boot time. Select System->Administration->Network. For each device listed, double-click it and turn off '''Activate device when computer starts'''. You may wish to enable '''Allow all users to enable and disable the device'''. Save changes and quit.
*Select System->Administration->Services. Check NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher and start each one. Save the configuration.
Your wired network will automatically connect and your wireless networks should now be visible.
To connect to a wireless network, click the NetworkManager notification icon and click the network to join. NetworkManager is not perfect, and requires you to enter a keyring password at times, but it's a nice way to connect to networks.

Shortly after you connect to the internet, you should be notified that there are updates available. If you are asked for the install media, you can disable that repository.

=Device Configuration=
==Audio==
The Intel 82801G (ICH7) High Definition Audio Controller is identified and enabled automatically. The AD198x Analog PCM device works for audio. The Digital PCM device does not seem to work. Could it be that it only works in a dock?
==Video Chip==
===ATI X1300 and ATI X1400===
Currently, Fedora does not include a driver specific to this card. It selects the '''vesa''' driver, which works fine, but performance is slow. The RadeonHD driver is in progress but also has no accelerated video modes, so is not a recommended option at this time.
ATI's proprietary '''fglrx''' driver now works very well for the T60. The easiest way to get the driver and have automatic updates is to use the Livna repository.
* Click the Fedora 8 repository from the front page of [http://rpm.livna.org].
* Let the Fedora package installer install the RPM package.
* Select Applications->Add/Remove Software.
* Under RPM Fusion - Nonfree, check Hardware Support.
* Click Optional packages.
* Check '''xorg-x11-drv-fglrx''', close and Apply.
* Reboot the machine and log in. (Logging out is not sufficient.)
At this point, you should have 2D and 3D acceleration working. FIXME: Add a check here to ensure the driver is working properly.
Unfortunately, suspend stops working at this point. Hibernate still does work. FIXME: To fix the suspend issue...?
To disable the '''fglrx''' driver and use '''vesa''':
FIXME
and to use it again
FIXME

===Intel video===
==WiFi==
===Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG===
This card is detected and enabled automatically. The activity indicator LED doesn't work with the standard driver. That appears to have been fixed in the latest version of the driver, but that is not yet in Fedora.

==Pointing Devices==
===TrackPoint===
The TrackPoint pointing device works automatically. Information on getting the middle button to act as a scroll wheel goes here.
===Touch Pad===
The touch pad is enabled and works automatically. Press-to-select is enabled by default.

==Bluetooth==
==Fingerprint Reader==
==WWAN==
===Verizon EVDO===
==Special Keys==
===Fn+F3 Sleep===
===Fn+F4 Suspend to RAM (Standby) ===
Suspend to RAM works automatically. Closing the lid also put the machine into the same standby mode.

===Fn+F5 Radio Control===
===Fn+F7 Display Selection===
===Fn+F8 Pointing Devices===
===Fn+F9 Eject===
===Fn+F12 Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)===
===Fn+Home/End Brightness===
Brightness control works automatically. The on-screen display for brightness works.
===Volume===
Volume up, volume down and volume mute work automatically, as does the on-screen display.
===ThinkVantage===
This button doesn't do anything by default, and it's not obvious what it should do when running Linux, if anything.

==Infrared==

Installing Fedora on a ThinkPad T60

2008-02-10T18:00:41Z

Whizkid: /* Pre-installation */ Added method for setting CDROM high performance.

Creation timestamp: [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 05:00, 6 February 2008 (CET)

This document is meant to be the definitive resource to getting the latest current release of Fedora running on a ThinkPad T60. I welcome improvements to the page, especially for hardware I don't have (video chips, WiFi cards, WWAN devices).

This document is current for Fedora 8. Fedora 9 Alhpa 1 has just been released, but we have a few months before that goes gold.

=Installation Methods=
Every T60 has a drive that can read DVDs. Nothing else is needed during the install, and it's the method I'm documenting first. Other methods of installation are detailed on the Fedora web site. For a smaller download, you can use the LiveCD, but fewer packages are available until you connect to the Internet.

=Pre-installation=
Fedora 8 does not have a method to shrink NTFS partitions during installation. You can use Knoppix or other LiveCD's to do that if you want to dual-boot. Links to pages on how to do that would be nice right about.... here.

Installation tips:
*Set the optical drive mode to High Performance during the installation to speed it up a little. To do that: Get into the BIOS. Select Config->Power->CDROM Speed->High.

=Installation Steps=
*Boot the DVD. I recommend completing the media test at least once on each disc you burn. You are presented with a title screen and no instructions. (That's what we're for!) Click Next.
*Select the installation language. Click Next.
*Select your keyboard language. Click Next. The installer looks for existing installations. You are prompted to choose a clean installation or upgrade. I'm documenting a clean install. Click Next.
*You are asked how to partition your drive. The default is to remove existing Linux partitions. That's a fine choice. Turn on the Review check box to see how it will partition the drive if you're curious. Click Next.
*Confirm that you want to delete partitions.
If you checked the Review box above, you are presented with the new disk layout. Edit as you please then click Next.
*The installer looks for other installed operating systems. You are asked where the boot loader will be installed. If you want to keep ThinkVantage functionality, check '''Configure advanced boot loader options'''. You can change the label of the other operating systems on the drive and select a default OS. Click Next.
If you selected advanced option configuration, you are asked where the boot loader should be installed. Select the first sector of the boot partition, not the MBR, if you want ThinkVantage to work at startup, or if you want another OS to manage the boot process. We may want to add kernel parameters here. Click Next.
*You are asked whether the wired Ethernet controller should be active on boot. Since I use mine with WiFi most of the time, I turn that off and set the hostname manually. Click Next. Click Continue to confirm no network devices at boot if asked.
*Select your time zone, choose whether or not the clock uses UTC and click Next.
*Enter your root password. Do it again. Click Next.
*The installer looks for common installation packages. Since everything is out of date already, I turn off all options and customize later. Click Next.
*The installer checks dependencies. You are asked one last time to confirm installation. Nothing has yet been written to the disk and this is the last point you can abort installation without changing anything on the drive. Click Next.

The partition table is written, partitions are formatted, the install image is copied and packages are installed. The disc is ejected and you are asked to reboot the machine. The process took 17 minutes on my T60 with a 2.0GHz Core Duo and 5400RPM hard drive.

=First Boot=
During the first boot, the system may wait a long time while trying to connect to a WiFi access point, even though your WiFi card may not have been detected by the installer.
*A welcome screen is presented. Your screen should now be in its native resolution. Click Forward.
*A license information screen is presented. Click Forward.
*Firewall configuration is presented. Configure as you like. Click Forward.
*SELinux setting is presented. Click Forward.
*Set your local date and time. Click Forward.
*Your hardware profile is shown. If you opt in and send your profile, your machine is counted by the Fedora team to get an idea of the population on which Fedora runs. Consider opting in to let them know we have these machines and want Fedora to run well on them. Click Forward.
*Create a user. Click Finish. Done!

=Get Updates=
Get a network connection going and get all recent updates. Reboot if a new kernel is installed. I like to use NetworkManager.

Full Disk Encryption (FDE)

2008-02-08T22:35:08Z

Whizkid: /* Full Disk Encryption */ "base(d)

__NOTOC__

=== Full Disk Encryption ===
Lenovo's 'Full Disk Encryption' (FDE) is a technology incorporated into some of Seagate's FDE-ready hard disks. It provides encryption of all of the contents of the hard disk.

{{HINT|This page have been written based on commercial documentation. It should be reviewed based on real life experience}}

=== Features ===
* Multi platform (Linux, Windows).
* Protects the whole disk (including FAT partition...)
* No performance impact.
* Compatible with TPM
* AES (the chip which performs AES encryption has been [http://www.seagate.com/ww/v/index.jsp?locale=en-US&name=null&vgnextoid=ade81f7095904110VgnVCM100000f5ee0a0aRCRD certified] by [http://csrc.nist.gov/cryptval/aes/aesval.html NIST] )
* Wiping the disk (for disposal...) takes just a second.

</div>
|style="vertical-align:top" |
[[image:momentus5400_3_fde_sm_106x106.gif|FDE Hard disk Photo, credits: seagate.com]]
|}

=== Using Segate FDE ===
Using FDE as as easy as setting up the hard disk password (from BIOS). You can choose to have just a user password, or both a user and a master password.
You can export the key to an external storage, for password recovery (you need the password !!)

==== Lost password ====
Three possibilities :
* Use the master password to change the user key.
* Recover the password using the previously exported key.
* Reset the encryption key (which causes the hard disk to be instantly "wiped", and resets the "hard disk password").

==== Wipe the disk ====
Wiping the disk is as easy as reseting the encryption key from the BIOS..

==== TPM ====
It should be possible to use TPM (with fingerprint readers...) not tested yet.

=== Software alternatives ===

It is possible to get similar security, at a very slight performance impact, by using appropriate software-based full disk encryption solutions. For example, under Linux, you can use <tt>dm-crypt</tt> to encrypt the whole disk (including swap and root partitions) except for a bootloader. Numerous tutorials are available on the Internet.

===Fn+F5 Radio Control===
===Fn+F7 Display Selection===
===Fn+F8 Pointing Devices===
===Fn+F9 Eject===
===Fn+F12 Suspend to Disk (Hibernate)===
===Fn+Home/End Brightness===
Brightness control works automatically. The on-screen display for brightness works.
===Volume===
Volume up, volume down and volume mute work automatically, as does the on-screen display.
===ThinkVantage===
This button doesn't do anything by default, and it's not obvious what it should do when running Linux, if anything.

Whizkid: New section: Instructions

How did you measure? - I just checked the value after 2 minutes in idle.
Any better ideas? Maybe a script with min/avg/max values over a time period?

I observed the power_now "counter" provided by tp_smapi over a short period of time (30 seconds, maybe?)

I do it with cat /proc/acpi/battery/BAT[whatever it is]/state

== Instructions ==

It would be great to have explicit, step-by-step instructions for getting the measurements right on the page. I know I could find out how to do it, but it would save a lot of time, make it easier for me to get, and make it more likely that I'll post my results. --[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 18:19, 8 February 2008 (CET)

Whizkid: New section: 600 Series and PCMCIA

== CF slot? ==

I've got a X21, and I would really like to be able to boot off the cf slot. Does anyone else have any information?

== UltraBase/ThinkPad Dock? ==

The footnotes for the X series models regarding the UltraBase made me think that either the definition of Internal HD/FD/CD should be updated to include the UltraBase/ThinkPad Dock or that a few more columns should be added to the table for devices supported in UltraBase/ThinkPad Docks (such as SCSI devices). However, I do not have any experience with the UltraBase or Thinkpad Dock so I am really unsure to what extent they should be included or what boot performance is expected (if internal drives work, will dock devices work?). If you have an UltraBase/ThinkPad Dock and have some thoughts on this issue, please edit the table/definitions to an appropriate state or add a comment here stating what you think. --[[User:Kevinoid|Kevinoid]] 14:03, 10 Oct 2005 (CEST)

== Missing Hardware ==

You might want to add a "N/A" selection for machines that do not have appropriate hardware. The 600 series does not have Firewire, so saying "no" that it will not boot from it seems... odd. The 755 series does not have USB at all.

CardBus appeared (IIRC) on Pentium II models, so older machines have only PC Card slots, not CardBus. -- [[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 16:15, 10 Oct 2005 (CEST)

== Netboot on X23 ==

I have just experienced I can only netboot my X23 if I explicitely disable the boot-from-harddisk in the bios setup (that is, press INS so an ! exclamation mark is in front of it).
Without this, no matter what order the boot devices are in, it always starts up from my harddrive (also when I press F12 and manually select network boot at startup)
--[[User:Vloris|Vloris]] 12:13, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

== 600 Series and PCMCIA ==

I have a 600E and 600X that I'm trying to get to boot from PCMCIA. If anyone has done it, please provide information on how. I have a PCMCIA SD card reader that boots a 560E just fine, but won't boot the 600E or 600X. Thanks. --[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 23:24, 16 January 2008 (CET)

Installation on ThinkPads without CD-ROM drive

2008-01-07T17:50:27Z

Whizkid: Added booting from PCMCIA

{| width="100%"
|style="vertical-align:top;padding-right:20px;width:10px;white-space:nowrap;" | __TOC__
|style="vertical-align:top" |
Some ThinkPads (e.g. the whole X series) come without a CD-ROM drive by default. Even though there are options to buy a solution like the UltraBase, a full dock or simply an external CD-ROM drive{{footnote|1}}, this is not the cheapest option and might not always be necessary. Also, with some external CD-ROMs the problem might arise that the ThinkPad is not able to boot from them. See our [[Supported Boot Devices|List of supported boot devices]] for various ThinkPads.

So the question arises how to get your system of choice onto that precious piece of hardware. This page should tell you about the possible solutions.

Since in most cases the installation base packages come on CD, you'll need a second computer, equipped with a CD-ROM drive, for all of those solutions.

Many older ThinkPads came with only a floppy drive and cannot boot from any CD drive at all. For those machines, booting from floppy is the only option. Then one can install from CD, over a network, or from the hard drive.
|}

==Installation from USB drive==
{{NOTE|Not all ThinkPads have a BIOS that [[Supported_Boot_Devices|supports USB booting]].}}

This is probably the easiest approach:
#Connect the USB drive{{footnote|2}} to the host and format it.
#Get a bootable system and all needed installation files onto the USB drive, i.e. by copying the complete filesystem from your installation CD-ROM to the USB drive. Of course if your USB drive is not big enough for that you'll have to make more sophisticated choices about what to copy and what to leave behind. Here are [http://wiki.debian.org/BootUsb some instructions] (and [https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick instructions for ubuntu])for converting a LiveCD ISO image onto a pen drive, and making it bootable.{{footnote|3}}

#Insert the USB drive into the USB port of your ThinkPad.
#Power on the ThinkPad and press F12 to get to the boot menu. For some models (X24 comes to mind) you need to go into the BIOS and change the boot sequence before USB devices are shown in the boot menu.
#Select the USB drive as boot media and boot.
#Follow the normal installation process.

It seems some ThinkPad BIOSes don't use the code on the master boot record (MBR), or at least skip it when it is blank. These systems will need an [http://www.tsden.org/ryutaroh/extipl/ Extended-IPL boot loader]. Putting this Extended-IPL boot loader onto the disk (such as <tt>sda</tt>) goes something like this:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1 count=446
dd if=/usr/lib/extipl/aldebaran.bin of=/dev/sda

==Booting from a PCMCIA device==
Many ThinkPads, even as old as some original Pentium models, can boot from a PCMCIA slot. The device must appear as a normal hard drive for that to work, and it must have boot code on the first block of the device. PCMCIA hard drives and some PCMCIA card readers (compact flash, SD, memory stick, etc.) will work for this purpose.

If your distribution offers an installation image, just copy it to the device and boot from it. Here's a sample that works with Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon). Insert the card and reader into a laptop running Linux. If the device mounts automatically, unmount it. Run these commands:
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/boot.img.gz
gunzip boot.img.gz
sudo dd if=boot.img of=/dev/sdb (careful!)
Be '''very''' careful when typing that last line. A typo could erase your hard drive. This image installs over a network, but there are other larger images that install the entire system directly.

Put the card reader and any other needed cards (such as a network card). Get into EZSetup and change the boot order to PCMCIA then HDD-1. Reboot and the installation should start.

==Installation via network boot==
Thinkpads support PXE to boot off another system that is connected via [[Ethernet]]. In this case the ThinkPad acts as a network boot client, the other system as server. The idea is to boot a system on the server that the ThinkPad can boot into then by loading all required data directly from that server.

For this to work you will have to either have both the server and the ThinkPad connected in the same subnet of your LAN, or have them connected directly via a crossed Ethernet cable.

===Using Windows as a server===
To get your Thinkpad to boot over a network, you must set up a DHCP and a TFTP server. For Windows, the freeware program [http://tftpd32.jounin.net TFTPD32] does both. To set up TFTPD32, do the following:
#Create a directory that will contain the PXE boot code.
#Copy the boot code into that directory. (For a Debian Sarge install, for example, you can find code to initiate a network install under <code>debian/dists/sarge/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/</code> from a Debian mirror -- copy files to simulate symlinks for <code>pxelinux.0</code> and <code>pxelinux.cfg/</code>)
#Launch the TFTPD32 program.
#"Browse" to set the current directory to the directory containing the PXE boot code (i.e. the directory you created in the first step, above).
#On the DHCP server tab, set:
##<code>IP pool starting address</code> to something appropriate for your network
##<code>Size of pool</code> to a non-zero value (all you really need is 1)
##<code>Boot file</code> to the PXE boot image (for Debian, the filename is <code>pxelinux.0</code>)
##<code>WINS/DNS Server</code> to the DNS server used by your network
##<code>Default router</code> to the IP of your default gateway
##<code>Mask</code> to your network's netmask
##<code>Domain Name</code> to your network's domain
{{NOTE|Do <em>not</em> under any circumstances run the DHCP server if there are other DHCP servers on your network. There must be only one DHCP server on each network segment. You must either disable the other server or move to another network.}}

On your ThinkPad, do the following:
#Boot your Thinkpad, and press {{key|F12}} to select an alternate boot device
#Use "<code>Intel(R) Boot Agent Version 4.0.17</code>" (or similar -- on the Transnote used to make this guide, "<code>Network Boot</code>" did not work while the "<code>Boot Agent</code>" option did)

The TFTPD32 server window should show activity as the ThinkPad downloads files. Once the first stage has installed and the ThinkPad is ready to boot from its own hard drive, shut down TFTPD32 and re-enable your permanent DHCP server.

===Using [[:Category:Knoppix|Knoppix]] as a Terminal Server===
If a server system is available on the network, it can be used to set up a temporary Terminal Server. Follow these steps to set up the Terminal Server using Knoppix:
#Insert the Knoppix CD into the server and boot it up. Make sure to boot with the 2.6 kernel by giving the <code>kernel26</code> boot option.
#Once your KDE desktop is loaded, look in the K-Menu hierarchy for the link to the terminal server setup. Select this menu option.
#Launch the Terminal Server and make it use the appropriate network device.
Back at your ThinkPad, do the following:
#Power on your ThinkPad and press F12 to get to the boot menu.
#Select the ThinkPad's network adapter as the boot media.
#Reboot. The ThinkPad should now boot from the Knoppix Terminal Server directly.

===Using any Linux on the server side===
{{Todo|needs better formating, maybe a list where to find the kernel/initrd images on other distros and a hint to speed up booting}}

# TFTP Server
#* Download and install an tftp Server
#* Configure it to serve {{path|/tftpboot}}
# Get the kernel and initrd image from your distribution
#* For fedora-core they are in {{path|os/images/pxeboot}}
#* Copy both to {{path|/tftpboot/vmlinuz}} resp. {{path|/tftpboot/initrd.img}}
# [http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/boot/syslinux/ Bootloader]
#* Download the current syslinux-X.YZ.tar.bz2 tarball
#* Copy the included pxelinux.0 to {{path|/tftpboot/pxelinux.0}}
#* Create a directory for the configuration with {{cmdroot|mkdir /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg}}
#* Create the file {{path|/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default}} with the following contents:
DEFAULT install
PROMPT 1
TIMEOUT 0
LABEL install
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img --
# DHCP Server
#* Download and install an DHCP Server
#* Configure it to for your Thinkpad, the following configuration assumes that the MAC-address of your Thinkpad is DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00 and should use the IP 192.168.0.2 with namesever/router/tftpserver 192.168.0.1
allow booting;
allow bootp;
host thinkpad {
hardware ethernet DE:AD:BE:EF:00:00;
fixed-address 192.168.0.2;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
default-lease-time 28800;
filename "pxelinux.0";
next-server 192.168.0.1;
}
#* Now you can boot your thinkpad via lan

==Installation from the internal harddrive==
The idea here is to have all required files already on the internal harddrive when you power up your ThinkPad for installation, including of course a minimal system to boot up and start the installation process.

Convenient, but how do you get the files there?
*One option is to copy them via network boot (see above).
*Some Linux distributions offer ways to download the installation files from a FTP server and to choose this directory as installation source instead of a CD-ROM.
*A second way, if you already have a 'working' copy of DOS or MS Windows installed, is to start the installer from loadlin or GRUB. This is detailed [http://marc.herbert.free.fr/linux/win2linstall.html here].
*Another one is to remove the harddrive from the ThinkPad and connect it to the other machine. Again, this can be achieved in several ways:
**putting the harddrive into an UltraBay secondary HDD adapter of a second ThinkPad
**putting the harddrive into an external casing and connect it to the second machine via USB, PCMCIA or whatever
**connecting the harddrive via a 2.5" (laptop) to 3.5" (desktop) harddrive adapter

Follow one of the following instructions.

===Installing [[:Category:Windows|Windows]] 2000 or XP===
*Attach the harddrive to the host computer and install a minimal bootable DOS system i.e. by booting a Win98 Emergency Boot Disk and performing the command "SYS X:" (where X = the laptop's harddrive).
*Copy FDISK.EXE to the laptop harddrive.
*Return the harddrive to the laptop and boot to DOS. (If you have Win98 installed by default, you can skip the first two steps and simply reboot in Windows to DOS.)
*Run FDISK and set up your new Windows system partition on this laptop. (If you do not do this on the laptop, after reboot you will receive the infamous "NTLDR IS MISSING" error. This error may still occur if the partition is greater than 7.8gb in size)
*Then return the drive to the host and format the drive as FAT32. (DO NOT format as NTFS.)
*Repeat the "SYS X:" step to make the new partition bootable.
*Copy Himem.sys and Config.sys, too. Otherwise SMARTDRIVE.EXE won't run
*Get SMARTDRV.EXE from the internet and copy it to your Thinkpads harddrive.
*Also, from the Win2K or WinXP CD, copy the I386 folder to the harddrive.
*Return the laptop's harddrive to the Thinkpad one final time and boot to DOS.
*Run SMARTDRV.EXE first, then change directories to I386 and run WINNT.EXE, this will allow the installation to begin.
*During installation, choose NOT to format the destination partition, since it contains the installation files. If you want that filesystem to be NTFS you can convert it after installation from within Windows.

==Installation from Diskette==
===Installing from CD===
Many distributions have software on CD that will make a boot floppy that will allow you to install from an unbootable CD drive.

===Installing over a network===
Some distributions have a set of diskettes that will allow you to boot a machine, enable a network device and start installation over a network. For example, {{Slackware}} supports installing via an NFS mount. An unofficial add-on adds an option to install over FTP.

===Installing from floppy===
Some distributions did allow for a complete installation from diskette. As the size of distributions and the number of required diskettes has grown, and the ubiquity of optical storage increased, support for floppy installation has diminished.

However, there are still some Linux distributions that fit on as few as one diskette - with very limited functionality, of course.

==Installation from an ISO image==
Some distributions offer a way of installing directly from the downloadable ISO image, residing on your harddisk. Examples are VectorLinux 5.1 and {{SUSE}} 10. The individual distributions installation manuals will guide you through the process.

==External Sources==

Installing Ubuntu on a ThinkPad 560E

2008-01-07T17:09:14Z

Whizkid: Extremely short version

Work in progress.... --[[User:Whizkid|Whizkid]] 18:09, 7 January 2008 (CET)

=Introduction=
The 560E is a capable ultra-portable machine, but lacks booting options. I used a PCMCIA SD card reader and a PCMCIA wired network card to install Ubuntu. A bare minimum install of Ubuntu requires 32MB RAM. Consider adding a 64MB stick to your 560E to fully load it with 80MB RAM.

2GB of disk space is required for a typical install. The 560E can handle drives at least up to 8GB and possibly larger.

=Preparation=
* Get the Ubuntu netboot image
* Insert card reader into another Linux laptop
dd if=netboot.img of=/dev/sdb
* Change boot order on 560E to PCMCIA then hard disk
* Insert card reader and network card and start machine

#Choosing USB Boot and booting with a USB flash drive plugged in makes boot procedure extremely long (1m30 just to pass the IBM splash screen). However, it ends up booting the OS in the USB drive (assuming one is indeed present).
#Internal CD/FD means the ones in the UltraBase for X series and 570 models.
#Requires an external Floppy drive attached to Port Replicator or Dock
#Requires that the user select the drive from the disk option shown after clicking F12 on the boot sequence.
#Boots from a flash memory drive, i.e. CompactFlash (with PCMCIA adapter).
#It is working with lilo boot loader, however it failed with syslinux.
#Supported by the BIOS configuration, but doesn't seem to work.
#An external FDD connected to the dedicated FDD port

#Choosing USB Boot and booting with a USB flash drive plugged in makes boot procedure extremely long (1m30 just to pass the IBM splash screen). However, it ends up booting the OS in the USB drive (assuming one is indeed present).
#Internal CD/FD means the ones in the UltraBase for X series and 570 models.
#Requires an external Floppy drive attached to Port Replicator or Dock
#Requires that the user select the drive from the disk option shown after clicking F12 on the boot sequence.
#Boots from a flash memory drive, i.e. CompactFlash (with PCMCIA adapter).
#It is working with lilo boot loader, however it failed with syslinux.
#Supported by the BIOS configuration, but doesn't seem to work.
#An external FDD connected to the dedicated FDD port
