First of all, sorry for not having blogged lately. I’ve been quite busy recently due to a good load of work & study. (alasan… ahaks)

d00d, I am now running Ubuntu Linux on my IBM Thinkpad. It is easy to use & r0x my life. Here’s the latest screenshot. Everything worked very well and I now have a Dapper Drake running. The most interesting things from my personal of view:

1. I dont have a single piece of hardware in my computer that doesn’t run out of the box with Ubuntu.
2. Hibernate works well which gave me quite a lot of trouble on Fedora.
3. no root?
4. the human theme is gorgeous. yay~

F: are u “buntu”?
Q: Kalau menemui jalan buntu atau kesukaran dalam sesuatu perundingan, hendaklah berusaha untuk mengatasinya.

    Ubuntu Edgy and Thinkpad R51e doesn’t work for me.
    Booting without kernel parameter noapic causes my complete usb-hub including mouse to quit function after ca. 3 minutes.
    ACPI isn’t working from the very beginning on. Therefore maybe Hibernation isn’t working. During boot process I get these errors without the noapic option:

    …
    ACPI Error (evgpe-0711): No handler or method for GPE[16], disabling event [20060707]
    …
    …
    …

    I already checked the DSDT but it’s all ok.

    Before Ubuntu Edgy I had FC5 installed on this notebook. Similiar problems…

    Any Suggestions?
    Maybe you can help me with these???

    Hi David,

    I upgraded dapper to edgy without a problem. Perhaps you might try to install dapper first, then upgrade it to edgy. Hope it works for you.u
