Opening Notes:
1) This is written for Tribe 2, as development moves forward many of the items listed here will (hopefully) no longer be necessary or no longer apply.
2) Use the Alternative Installer, the Desktop installer installs but fails to boot
3) The system is not incredibly stable, things crash at least once per session so if you are look for stability stay with Feisty.
Hard Disk Controller
When the system boots hit F1 to enter the Bios and under Config->Hard Disk-> Set SATA to compatibility mode
Video:
Intel:
Systems with Intel cards should have no issues
Nvidia:
X will fail to start for users running Nvidia cards. Boot into recovery mode and type:
# dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
Accept all the defaults except change the driver from NV to VESA
Type # telinit 3 to boot into a GUI and use Synaptic to install Build-Essentials
Go to Nvidia.com and download the latest Nvidia Drivers to your desktop
When the download completes hit Ctrl-F1 to drop to a console. Login and type:
# sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
Then type:
# cd Desktop
# sudo sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run
If the file you download is newer that 100.14.11 make sure you modify the command appropriately
Reboot:
# sudo shutdown -r now
After Rebooting Gnome should start normally
Wireless:
The Atheros card should be supported by the drivers built into Gutsy.
The Intel a/b/g/n (IPW4965) card requires the iwlwifi drivers from Intel:
# mkdir wireless
# cd wireless
# wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/mac80211/downloads/mac80211-8.0.1.tgz
# tar xzf mac80211-8.0.1.tgz
# cd mac80211-8.0.1.tgz
# sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.22-7 /lib/modules/2.6.22-7-generic/source
# sudo make patch_kernel
# wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-0.0.34.tgz
# tar xzf iwlwifi-0.0.34.tgz
# cd ../iwlwifi-0.0.34/
# make
# sudo make install
# wget http://intellinuxwireless.org/iwlwifi/downloads/iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.15.tgz
# tar xzf iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.15.tgz
# sudo cp ../iwlwifi-4965-ucode-4.44.15/iwlwifi-4965.ucode
# /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965.ucode
# sudo modprobe iwl4965
Audio:
Audio does not work out of the box, download and install the latest version of Alsa from CVS using the instructions here: https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/wiki/wikka.php?wakka=SourceCodeRepository
