Installing Ubuntu 12.10 on the Lenovo Twist ultrabook

==Overview==
===Specs===
*Lenovo Twist - S230u (model 3347-CTO)
*Ubuntu 12.10 - 64bit (ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso) 

{{Todo|DMESG etc to follow}}

===What Works===
*Touch screen - single touch only {{Fixme|Needs review.  Multitouch worked for me --[[User:Shane|Shane]] 03:20, 29 January 2013 (CET)}}
*Sound, WLAN, camera, SSD works
*WWAN works

===What Does Not Work===
*GPS does not work

==Install==
{{WARN|Since this device ships with the BIOS set to boot from '''UEFI only'''.  You must enable '''Legacy''' boot option in the BIOS before you can begin installing Ubuntu.}}
# Enable Legacy boot in BIOS
# Plug in USB drive containing Ubuntu 12.10 install image
# Turn power on
# Proceed through install
# Reboot when done
# Log in and install any available updates (rebooting as needed)

==Customize==

===Additional Packages===
Much of what follows depends on some additional tools.  You can run the following command to install them all at once:

 $ sudo apt-get install \
 mesa-utils               # resolves "Graphics Unknown" reported in system info \
 input-utils              # Misc tools to assist in detecting and configuring special HW keys/events

===Graphics===
====Fix "unknown" graphics adapter====
Install mesa-utils, which adds glxinfo, used by system info to report the "friendly" graphics device name
{{cmduser|sudo apt-get install mesa-utils}}
====Enable SNA====
To enable SNA (vs. default UXA) in X, create an Xorg config option file (/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-enable-sna.conf) as follows:
 # cat <<EOF > /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-enable-sna.conf
 Section "Device"
     Identifier "Card0"
     Driver "intel"
     Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
 EndSection
 EOF
===Key Bindings===

===Toggling TouchPad===
One of the very annoying things about the available settings in 12.10 is that there no longer appears to be a way to completely disable the Synaptics TouchPad device from the UI.  Also, no touchpad indicator applet appears to be available in the standard repos.

Related to this, is the very poor interaction between the TouchPad and the TouchScreen (Atmel maXTouch Digitizer) when the screen is folded into tablet mode.  The result is the cursor begins to jump around and get "twitchy".

So, to solve this, there are two things to address:
# How to disable/enable the TouchPad on demand (hotkey event or other keybinding)
# How to disable/enable the TouchPad automatically when tablet mode is enabled/disabled
====On Demand====
To add new, custom, key bindings, launch the "'''Keyboard'''" editor:

{{cmduser|gnome-control-center keyboard}}

Then navigate to the "'''Shortcuts'''" tab, select the "'''Custom Shortcuts'''" and then click the "'''+'''" button and provide the name and command for your binding.  For example:

[[Image:Add-custom-keybinding.png]]

In this example, I tell it to invoke the script <tt>~/toggle-touchpad.sh</tt>, which you can create like this:

 cat <<EOF > ~/toggle-touchpad.sh
 #!/bin/bash
 declare -A TOGGLE=([true]=false [false]=true)
 SCHEMA="org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad"
 KEY="touchpad-enabled"
 gsettings set $SCHEMA $KEY ${TOGGLE[$(gsettings get $SCHEMA $KEY)]}
 EOF

Or, use this one-line version directly in the "Command:" field:

 /bin/bash -c 'declare -A TOGGLE=([true]=false [false]=true) && \
     SCHEMA="org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad" && \
     KEY="touchpad-enabled" && \
     gsettings set $SCHEMA $KEY ${TOGGLE[$(gsettings get $SCHEMA $KEY)]}' 

Finally, click the word "'''disabled'''" on the newly added custom shortcut and hit the button or key combination you want to use for toggling the TouchPads enabled state.

====Automatic====
To solve the "jitter" problem with the mouse when the Twist is in tablet mode, a few additions to the acpi events handlers is all that's required.  The following need to be run as root, or via sudo.

First, we need to configure acpid to recognize the events triggered when the Twist changes tablet mode state:

 cat <<EOF > /etc/acpi/events/twist-tablet-enabled
 # /etc/acpi/events/twist-tablet-enabled
 # This is called when the lid is placed in tablet position on
 # Lenovo Twist ThinkPads
 
 event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 00005009
 action=/etc/acpi/twist-tabletmode.sh 1
 EOF
 
 cat <<EOF > /etc/acpi/events/twist-tablet-disabled
 # /etc/acpi/events/twist-tablet-disabled
 # This is called when the lid is placed in normal position on
 # Lenovo Twist ThinkPads
 
 event=ibm/hotkey HKEY 00000080 0000500a
 action=/etc/acpi/twist-tabletmode.sh 0
 EOF
 
 # Now, restart acpid so it can re-read the event filters, including the ones you just added
 killall -SIGHUP acpid

Second, create the referenced action script (<tt>/etc/acpi/twist-tabletmode.sh</tt>):

 cat <<EOF > /etc/acpi/twist-tabletmode.sh
 #!/bin/bash
 [ -f /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs ] || exit 0 
 
 . /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
 
 getXconsole
 
 # If passed in a (valid) arg, use it
 [ "$1" ] && [ "$1" = "0" -o "$1" = "1" ] && MODE=${MODE:=${1}}
 
 # Otherwise, use current state from thinkpad acpi sysfs entry, as described at
 # http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/laptops/thinkpad-acpi.txt
 MODE=${MODE:="$(cat /sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/hotkey_tablet_mode)"}
 
 TOUCHPAD_NAME="TouchPad"
 TOUCHPAD_STATES=("enable" "disable")
 TOUCHPAD_CMD=${TOUCHPAD_STATES[$MODE]}
 
 TOUCHSCREEN_NAME="maXTouch"
 TOUCHSCREEN_STATES=("disable" "enable")
 TOUCHSCREEN_CMD=${TOUCHSCREEN_STATES[$MODE]}
 
 # Get xinput ids for the TouchPad and TouchScreen devices
 TOUCHPAD_ID=$(xinput list --id-only "$(xinput list --name-only|grep -m1 $TOUCHPAD_NAME)")
 TOUCHSCREEN_ID=$(xinput list --id-only "$(xinput list --name-only|grep -m1 $TOUCHSCREEN_NAME)")
  
 # Get users configured TouchPad state preference and honor it.
 TOUCHPAD_ENABLED=$(sudo -iu $user gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled)
  
 # Only change TouchPad state if touchpad-enabled=true and a device was found
 [ ${#TOUCHPAD_ID} -gt 0 -a "$TOUCHPAD_ENABLED" = "true" ] && xinput $TOUCHPAD_CMD $TOUCHPAD_ID
  
 # Only change TouchScreen state if a device was found
 [ ${#TOUCHSCREEN_ID} -gt 0 ] && xinput $TOUCHSCREEN_CMD $TOUCHSCREEN_ID
   
 EOF
 
 # Make it executable...
 chmod +x /etc/acpi/twist-tabletmode.sh

That's it!!!  Time to test it out by converting the Twist into tablet mode.  You can crack the lid about 1&frac12; inches before the Twist will exit tablet mode.  While in tablet mode, crack the lid and confirm that touching the TouchPad has no effect.

====More Detail====
Initially, I pursued this as an XInput issue, only to discover later after digging through this to solve the automatice use case during tablet mode changes, that there is a GSettings key that also is at play here.  As I soon discovered, the GSettings key will actually determine if any changes vi xinput will be honored.

=====XInput Method=====
First, determine the xinput device id for the TouchPad

{{cmduser|xinput list --name-only|grep -im1 TouchPad}}<br>
{{cmdresult|SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad}}

Next, using this name, get the xinput device id for it

{{cmduser|xinput list --id-only "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad"}}<br>
{{cmdresult|12}}

Now, to disable and then enable it, simply run

{{cmduser|xinput disable 12}}<br>
{{cmduser|xinput enable 12}}

=====GSettings Method=====
There is a GSettings key in the <tt>org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad</tt> schema called <tt>touchpad-enabled</tt>.  To get and set this key, you use the <tt>gsettings</tt> command from a terminal that is associated with your active user session:

Get the current value of touchpad-enabled

{{cmduser|gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled}}<br>
{{cmdresult|true}}

To disable the TouchPad, set touchpad-enabled to false

{{cmduser|gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled false}}

Now check the value of touchpad-enabled, should be false...

{{cmduser|gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchpad touchpad-enabled}}<br>
{{cmdresult|false}}

===Think Light Control===
You can control red the LED in the "i" of the "ThinkPad" logo as follows

Turn on the LED...

{{cmdroot|echo 0 on > /proc/acpi/ibm/led}}
 
Turn off the LED...

{{cmdroot|echo 0 off > /proc/acpi/ibm/led}}

Blink the LED

{{cmdroot|echo 0 blink > /proc/acpi/ibm/led}}

===Headphone Plug Events===
On the Twist, when I was testing this, /dev/input/event12 was where Headphone jack plug and unplug events were being reported

Install the input-utils package and then run:

 # input-events 12
 /dev/input/event12
    bustype : (null)
    vendor  : 0x0
    product : 0x0
    version : 0
    name    : "HDA Intel PCH Headphone"
    phys    : "ALSA"
    bits ev : EV_SYN EV_SW
 
 waiting for events
 11:54:14.257360: EV_SW SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT 1
 11:54:14.257361: EV_SYN code=0 value=0
 11:54:14.587882: EV_SW SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT 0
 11:54:14.587883: EV_SYN code=0 value=0

{{NOTE|
<tt>'''SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT''' 1</tt> represents the "'''plug'''" event<br>
<tt>'''SW_HEADPHONE_INSERT''' 0</tt> represents the "'''unplug'''" event
}}
