Linux Success?

[fleamourian]

Hi

I am running Lucid Xubuntu after an in place upgrade from Karmic. Almost everything works apart from sound not being present after hibernation/sleep. I have to enter

Code: Select all

sudo alsa force-reload

at the terminal in order to get sound after hibernation/sleep.

As long as your of the mindset to boot afresh each time, it'll boot way faster than 2k/XP, then it is a small price to pay for a modern OS & browser (Chrome.)

What distros are other people running? And with what success/any bugz? Any other T2* users out there?

Never used a T2* with Linux, but I've been running several Ubuntu distros since I had my T30. Allways with success, alltough I just use them for web and Emailing, nothing else complex.

Currently I've installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx in my T43p (see hardware details in my sig) and I'm really happy with it. It boots in 35 seconds (up to the desktop and connected to wireless) and works very snappy.

look into /etc/acpi/resume.d/ -- scripts that get called when it comes out of suspend/sleep. at least you wouldn't have to type it manually anymore. (not positive if scripts in that dir also apply to hibernation, but I think they do...)
