I installed Kubuntu 7.10 into my ex-girlfriend's laptop, Acer Extensa 5220. Not the easiest job for a beginner. ["LaptopTestingTeam/AcerExtensa5220"]

Now I'm working on my girlfriend's laptop, HP Pavilion dv6000. ["LaptopTestingTeam/HPPaviliondv6000"]

Acer Extensa 5220

My experiences so far with this laptop and Kubuntu:

  • Lesson 1. Install Kubuntu with net-availability. It actually does make life easier, and things actually works afterwards.

For "easy install", this is simple to-do-list:

  1. Install using english. This should prevent any language-set based bugs striking in (yet).
  2. Make single upgrade for starters (I used Adept): upgrade libqt3-mt alone. If it fails, then use terminal with command "sudo dpkg --configure -a" (you never use braces around whole commands in console, right?) and finish upgrading it that way.
  3. Install rest of the upgrades.
  4. Enable wlan.
  5. Open MP3 file with Amarok. This will help with installing some useful codecs. Some are used by Kaffeine (DVD, avi), but installation done with Amarok just helps with this.
  6. Install Firefox.
  7. Install some general fonts.

Vóila. Then I just need to call my ex that she can come and get her laptop (after several weeks of waiting, shame on me).

Current problems

  1. Cannot connect internet thru wlan, while Windoze does it without problems - without any manual setting.

    Fixed: When shutting down, requires root-password. This problem appeared after I tried to create second user-account (which failed: couldn't login - forced to shut down with pressing power-button 5 secs). -- I was able to fix this problem, I just don't remember how. Merely removing the second (not working) user-account might have done it.

HP Pavilion dv6000

Current problems

  1. To boot the liveCD, have to do some tricks (noapic nolapic).
