Needs Tweaks
- Video
- Nvidia drivers can be loaded by installing the envyng-core package and running envyng -t. I Chose the recommended 180 version and 3D acceleration appears to be working properly.
- Sound In:
- Must be unmuted in Volume Control (Click on volume tray icon, click on Volume Control, select Capture: HDA Intel - AD198x)
- Internal mic is very quiet relative to line in, so you may have to turn it above 100% using the Manager utility from the padevchooser package.
- ThinkFinger
Append following line to '/etc/apt/sources.list': deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jon-oberheide/ubuntu jaunty main Execute: sudo apt-get install thinkfinger-tools libpam-thinkfinger libthinkfinger0 Restart Execute: tf-tool --acquire && tf-tool --verify
Doesn't Work
- ACPI
- Suspend to Disk (tested with LVM encryption): Successfully unlocks encrypted volume and starts "waking up stage." Video then becomes corrupted and computer locks up.
Untested
- Sound card
- Audio in
- fingerprint reader
Other Issues
Compared to 8.10
Improvements
Bugs and Regressions
As mentioned, the restricted Nvidia driver does not load by default. However, the driver can be loaded by enabling the restricted repository and running the following command:
sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-180
