[07:08] <DonLorenzo> anybody wanna talk about sound on a Toshiba P200-ST2071? ... The alleged chip is Intel 82801G. No sound at all.
[07:08] <DonLorenzo> Anybody at home?
[07:09] <crimsun> this is not a support channel.  And you need model=laptop-eapd
[07:10] <crimsun> it's already addressed in alsa-driver hg.
[07:10] <DonLorenzo> hmmm. I know about alsa-driver. what's the hg part?
[07:11] <crimsun> read the bottom of the download page linked from the ALSA home page.
[07:11] <DonLorenzo> thanks
[01:13] <kensho> hello
[04:24] <roel_> Question, I will be buying a laptop somewhere the coming few weeks. It should be a strong laptop, because I will be doing a lot of heavy stuff like c++ development, VHDL synthesis, etc.
[04:24] <roel_> However, it should also be ubuntu-friendly and support wifi etc.
[04:24] <roel_> What brands and models should I look out for?
[04:40] <roel_> No ideas?
[05:53] <crimsun> I would avoid toshibas, but that's about it.
[06:23] <Nailor> Intel has generally good support on their chips
[06:24] <Nailor> So if you don't want any hi performance graphics, I'd stick in the intel graahics adapter (+wifi and other from Intel too)
[07:06] <roel_> dell is well supported then?
[07:06] <Nailor> Should be =)
[07:09] <roel_> k thx
[07:10] <roel_> any idea what dell models are supposed to get ubuntu preinstalled?
