Thinkpads Forum

Hi,

How do install my wireless card [smc smc2532w-b] on ibm thinkpad t20 in ubuntu 6.06? I am having a lot of difficulty.

How do I install beryl on ubuntu 6.06?

hello fr0zenmon

Try installing Ubuntu 6.10 and automatix2 instead, it's got better hardware support.

And about Beryl:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BerylOnEdgy

and

Good luck :=)

I just installed ubuntu 6.06, mainly cause i had the cds laying around. I wanted to do 6.10, because of hardware support. How can i install ubuntu without the disc (netinstall) Do I have to reinstall ubuntu for 6.10 to work?

Until my burner is replaced a couple of weeks, i am kinda stuck, right?

alot.

I wanted to add fedora or suse to my laptop aswell. How do i do this?
thanks

However, when i try to run it from the red gem icon andrightclick to switch to beryl my laptop freezes. How should i resolve this?

It sounds like a graphics card issue. Either you don't have the proper drivers installed, or your computer cannot handle it.

I know there used to be a freeze up with a few Nvidia driver builds.

try running beryl from command line and see if you get any meaningful output.

Am new to ubuntu myself but i ran across this, havent tried it myself as i dont see the point of it yet. But maybe it will help you out.
