Rroeto/09:53
Rroetany packard bell users here?09:53
Burgundaviapackard bell? do they still make laptops?09:54
Rroet;)09:54
RroetI have a R3400 and still some issues getting my RaLink rt2500 to work with wpa09:55
Burgundaviahave you looked on LaptopTestingTeam ?09:55
Rroetand I read about the laptop-testing on the ubuntu wiki.09:55
Rroetno r3400 series there09:55
RroetBut I'll digg through the other models09:55
RroetRunning 6.10 atm, cause 6.06 has issues with my chipset.09:56
RroetSince I have an odd laptop there, I'll try to help update the wiki with accurate data about the laptop.09:56
Burgundaviavery cool09:56
Rroetjep. You can install dapper in a way.. but it requires 2 cd's... :(09:57
NailorOh? Why?09:57
RroetWell, the R3400  is a mobile sempron with a ati chipset.09:58
Rroetthe only way to boot the dapper live cd is with a boot parameter acpi=off noapic nolapic09:58
Rroetbut then in finallizing the install (everthing seems to work great) it crashes just before grub is installed.09:58
Rroetso I have a fully installed none-bootable system.09:58
Rroetso I worked arround it by booting / installing breezy then upgrading to dapper09:59
Rroetso 1 cd is enough, but it ain't dapper on that cd ;)09:59

Rroetproblem with the ati chipset it's creating a io error with 8254 timer on IO-APIC .. error message was somewhat like that.10:00
RroetThis error continues throughout the entire selection of dapper kernels btw. I've tried from 2.6.15-23-k7/686 (tried both) till 2.6.15-26-*10:01
NailorUh. 10:01
NailorWell, the K7 kernel should be the one used with that cpu10:01
NailorReally weird problem though10:02
NailorHave you installed fglrx, the propietary ati drivers?10:02
Rroetno, it's even before that.10:02
Rroetthe system won't boot in total10:02
Rroetlet me digg up the error message10:03
Rroet8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC10:03
Rroetthat's the exact message I get right after I select a specific kernel.10:03
Rroetit's a known but with the 2.6.15 kernel.10:04
RroetIt's fixed in 2.6.16 and 2.6.17 though. so don't sweat it.10:04
RroetI read posts on both ubuntu mailinglists/forums about it being fixed in the dapper kernel, yet it doesn't seem to work.10:05
Nailorok :)10:05
RroetThat's why I'm now running edgy on the laptop. Kind of a workarround. Before I ran dapper with a 2.6.16-ck12 kernel10:05
Rroetmy laptop is actually very similar to the R32800 after reading the specs10:18
NailorAre you planning to contribute your knowledge of your laptop to the wiki?10:20
RroetNailor: working on it right now :)10:27
Rroethttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsPackardBell10:27
RroetI'll do a better and complete listing soonish.10:27
=== Rroet is @ work :)
NailorMWah, I have a day off. :)10:33
NailorOh, haven't noticed that kind of list before. Better add my laptop to the Asus list too10:35

Linuturk_codeknot 2*07:38
Linuturk_codeI understand there is a live cd version I can test w/o installing07:38
BurgworkLinuturk_code, yes, last year, to a few community members07:39
Burgworkthe desktop cd07:39
Linuturk_codeI use the Toshiba Satellite R15-S822 Tablet PC07:40
Linuturk_codeand, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/edgy/knot-2/ << would that be the correct release?07:40

=== atomic [n=atomic@54-97.dial.nortenet.pt] has joined #ubuntu-laptop
Linuturk_codeisn't there a form or guideline for submitting test results?07:42
Burgworkyes, at LaptopTestingTeam07:43
Linuturk_codewiki, i'm guessing?07:43
Linuturk_codeand, Tablet PC's fall under the "laptop" category?07:43
Linuturk_codeis there additional work being done specifically for Tablet PC's?07:44
Burgworkyes07:51
Burgworkand somewhat07:51
Linuturk_codeis there a way for me to test those Tablet specific features, and contribute to their development. I'd really like to see some important features in Ubuntu07:52
