This is a draft on how to get Ubuntu 6.04 on the ThinkPad X41

easyubuntu

http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/get.html

Penguin Liberation Front

deb http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ dapper free non-free

deb-src http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/ dapper free non-free

$ apt-get install realplay

FreeNX

deb http://free.linux.hp.com/~brett/seveas/freenx dapper-seveas freenx

http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156019

The proxy package doesn't exist. It's not a problem. I choose to use the FreeNX key.

Swiss keyboard encoding

$ setxkbmap ch (for Swiss German)

$ setxkbmap ch -variant fr (for Swiss French)

blogbridge

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java

sudo mv blogbridge-2.16.tgz /usr/share/

sudo tar xvzf blogbridge-2.16.tgz

mv blogbridge-2.16 blogbridge

Enable TrackPoint middle-button scrolling

To use the blue middle TrackPoint button as a scroll wheel (using the red TrackPoint itself to scroll up and down), do the following. In a terminal, enter these commands:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-original

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

In the editor, find the section headed Section “InputDevice” / Identifier “Configured Mouse” and the following lines above the “EndSection” line:

Option "EmulateWheel" "true"

Option "EmulateWheelButton" "2"

Save the file. Logout, restart X with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace, and log in again. Source for this item: Many ThinkPad-related sites, confirmed by experiment.

WINE

deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main

$ apt-get install wine

$ run winecfg --> Windows2000

Suspend to RAM

BUG: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/50031

You need to install this update:

$ wget http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/acpi-support/acpi-support_0.85_i386.deb

$ dpkg -i acpi-support_0.85_i386.deb

SBB06 (Swiss Railway Timetable)

setup.exe

wine /home/cgaspoz/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/CFF.06/HAFASWIN.EXE

cp SBB/BIN/sbb.ico /usr/share/pixmaps

EndNote

wine /home/cgaspoz/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/EndNote\ 9/EndNote.exe

gdiplus.dll not found? copy GDIPLUS.DLL from a Windows box to .wine/drive_c/windows/system32

Nice templates for Qt (Skype, Eric3, ...)
