create profile of my ThinkPad, OS, and unresolved ThinkPad problems.

New page

I'm running an IBM Thinkpad T40, with Ubuntu 7.04 as the operating system.

It works reasonably well, but I'm trying to find solutions to the following questions / problems that would take it from "good" to "great" :
* [[Talk:Tpb#Possible_to_use_hotkey-setup_instead?|How to make the "Access IBM" button open a console / xterm, using hotkey-setup?]].
* The mute button will mute sound, but pressing it again does not unmute. Is it possible to make it do this?
* After hibernating, the wired Ethernet sometimes stops working. Despite various combinations of <code>ifup / ifdown</code>, editing <code>/etc/network/interfaces</code>, and <code>/etc/init.d/networking restart</code>, sometimes it refuses to work again. Restarting the computer seems to always make it work again. How to make sure that wired networking always works after a hibernate?
* For other laptop users, the Network Manager Applet in Gnome will display the wireless network strength, and available wireless networks. For me, it only displays the wireless strength. How can I show the available wireless networks in the panel area?

If you have any answers or suggestions, then please edit this page and add them, I would welcome any assistance. -- All the best, [[User:Nickj|Nickj]] 06:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

	* Sound initially wasn't working. Fix was either to update ALSA, and/or press the volume up or volume down keys.		* Sound initially wasn't working. Fix was either to update ALSA, and/or press the volume up or volume down keys.

 *: Same thing happens with wireless too sometimes, and a reboot is required to make it start working again. Hopefully Ubuntu 7.10 will include a fix for this.
