<giesen_> Can anyone here help me with a suspend issue? Every time my laptop comes out of suspend
<giesen_> My volume control dies (presumably because alsa is unloaded on suspend)
<Nailor_> You could try whitelisting alsa
<Nailor_> in /etc/default/acpi-support (os something similiar)

<yonkeltron> hello
<yonkeltron> i just installed Kubuntu on my new ThinkPad T60 and everything works except for the built in brightness adjustment keys
<yonkeltron> could anyone advise a course of action?
<yonkeltron> ThinkWiki advises to disable video.o in accordance with this workaround: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
<yonkeltron> 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
<yonkeltron> sorry...
<yonkeltron> i meant this workaround: http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-acpi-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg00092.html
<yonkeltron> but it seems like video.o is important...
<yonkeltron> supposedly this has been fixed: http://www.mail-archive.com/ibm-acpi-devel%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg00091.html
<yonkeltron> (also, i understand this is not a support channel but everyone refers me here)
<Woodrag> i have a problem with my soundcard... it does not work... ;-( Can anybody help me out? I have a Acer Aspire 5050 Laptop with a Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SB450 HDA Audio (rev 01)......
<Woodrag> Support aint what it was anymore.....
<Woodrag> Most of the times i don't get any response anymore....

<StFS> hello... is there any concensus on what laptops are generally most compatable with ubuntu now?
<kristofernathan> have their been any fixes for hp pavilion dv6000 series using broadcom wifi?
<kristofernathan> my card is still disabled :(
#ubuntu-laptop 2008-04-17
<crimsun> kristofernathan: it works fine here in gutsy and hardy (though much better in the latter)
<kristofernathan> i needed to use ndiswrapper
<kristofernathan> i was using fwcutter
<crimsun> I use the native driver
<kristofernathan> maybe yours is magic
<crimsun> ...no; it's a bcm4311 rev01
<crimsun> (I have a dv6205us)
<kristofernathan> finally got everything running smoothly.  anyone have problems with the screen flickering in and out?  i'm using a laptop with geforce go 7000 series
<SeanyD> hello all
<SeanyD> I have a support ?
<SeanyD> I just installed kubuntu 8.04 on my toshiba a75 laptop
<SeanyD> and it ran for couple days but today when I tried to restart, it said something about media drive failure, and now it won't boot
<SeanyD> when I press the power button I get a 1 second shot, sometimes I'll hear the hdd start up, but it only lasts at most 2 secs
<SeanyD> any ideas?
<hubuntu> hello... I have a contact at Zepto who could be up to let me test some machines with Ubuntu. I'm thnking of finding an automatized way to do this (using the Live CD, shoot some script, test what works and what does not , get on to the next machine). this guys sell computers originally build by Compal (same as System76, and many other Laptop "manufacturers"/re-branders)
<hubuntu> would you recommend using the https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingDataScraper ?
<hubuntu> I mean is there some script that I could Use in order to grab the machines specs or will a lshw do the trick?
<hubuntu> a dumpp of lshw...
<hubuntu> www.zepto.dk
<simira> hubuntu: try talking to Matthew Garret
<hubuntu> Simira: I'll give it a shoot. Thanks
<hubuntu> simira: og om du kan/vil/har tid/orker ikke glem mailen ang kommentaren pÃ¥ wikien. Det er greit ogsÃ¥ om du glemmer den, bare sÃ¥ det er sagt. R
<simira> hubuntu: jeg har lagt inn en kommentar. NÃ¥r er det du skal opp pÃ¥ mÃ¸te?
<simira> (let's keep it in en, when are you going through the community meeting to become an ubuntu member?)
<hubuntu> the thing I was up the 15th, but the changed the way they approve members...
<hubuntu> so I think i'm hopefully up the 6th of may, but it's done by the regional teams
<simira> hm, ok?
<simira> so you're up by Ubuntu-no LoCo? :P
<simira> we'll have to have a meeting, then :P
<hubuntu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommunityCouncilAgenda#head-9568db92a70c8ca165f94b052c02f5050faa6c54
<hubuntu> I do not really know, as part of both the ubuntu-no and ubuntu-ec (as contact member) I guess booth count ;)
<hubuntu> but I dunno which team (Americas or Europe/Asia/Africa9 will take the "test"
<hubuntu> will see
<hubuntu> Any activities planned for hardy?
<hubuntu> Thanks for the comment simira, I read it first now :)
<simira> didn't you start to organize a releaseparty/installfest?
<simira> I've heard nothing since the post on forum.ubuntu.no
<hubuntu> I did take contact with some people, but we got a big NO from  everybody
<hubuntu> people is very active here in Norwya (think of Translations and FLOSS use in general) but there is not much of a community, beyond the virtual one and well the InstallFest which are very good once in a while, inded
<pihhan> hello

<wydd> Hi. How do I switch on/off the CRT-out of my notebook without (not-working) hotkeys? Proc?
#ubuntu-laptop 2008-04-19
<Idan> Hey all.
<pihhan> hello
<pihhan> is there support for mmc/SD driver for correct behaviour?
<pihhan> after sleep, it does weird things, unless i manually remove it
<pihhan> anyone is present?
<pihhan> what topics is this room for?
<Coggz> anyone about?
<repley> hi all
<Coggz> hi
<Coggz> can you add stuff to the laptop pages?
<repley> i'm a newbie user, not op
<repley> i am here to begging an answer ;)
<Coggz> go on,
<repley> is there an alternative of 'file -i /example/path' to know the mime-type of a file?
<Coggz> !file
<repley> With 'file -i ./favicon.ico' (for example try: 'wget http://www.ubuntu-it.org/favicon.ico; file -i ./favicon.ico') i obtain: 'application/octet-stream' instead of 'image/x-icon' (or 'image/x-ico'. I don't know which is right, nautilus show ''image/x-ico', but in my unmodified '/etc/mime.types' i have: 'image/x-icon ico'
<Coggz> no idea, sorry
<repley> no problem, thank you
<Coggz> why do you need to know? for ico
<repley> 'application/octet-stream' for an .ico file is right? i think no
<pihhan> repley: no, that means file utility did not found it is ico file
<pihhan> repley: ico file does not have good header to recognize format it seems
<repley> but nautilus show me the right mime-type in the properties tab
<Coggz> maybe it is built in
<Coggz> anybody know how to do acer hotkeys here?
<pihhan> because nautilus falls back to suffix recognition
<pihhan> it does know ico file because it have got .ico suffix. Try rename it and see if it does still recognize it
<pihhan> file utility is low level utility, it should not return mime-type based on filename
<pihhan> Coggz: what hotkeys are you missing?
<repley> if i rename a bash-script with *.ico nautilus show the right mime-type: application/x-shellscript
<Coggz> volume, wifi/bluetooth P1, P2, Mail and web(planet)
<repley> pihhan: yes, is a low level utility, but the favicon.ico file is in my filesytem, 'file' can open and check it, but fail
<pihhan> repley: ico file does not have good format to check what type of file it is, it is like generic data, and file does report it looks like generic data
<repley> pihhan: i understand. thank you
<pihhan> repley: i tested it on random file from windows, it guessed it as MPEG sequence :)
<repley> pihhan: ahahahha :) *.ico is a bad beast!
