Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn
The workaround for the "bad state" issue (kernel < 2.6.20) is no longer necessary. Touchpad "freezes" in (apparently) random intervals, the cursor remains in the upper left corner and is unmovable. Solution: reboot Restricted drivers (ATI) are proposed and work Desktop effects don't work (neither with fglrx)
Azrael's feisty comments
My laptop is:
bios-version:68TT2 Ver. F.02 system-manufacturer:Hewlett-Packard system-product-name:HP Compaq nx6325 (EY349EA#AKD) system-version:F.02
To make my mic work I've added
options snd-hda-intel model=hp position_fix=1 enable=yes
at the end of
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
and then I've set Capture and Mic Boost to the max in Alsa Mixer.
To fix the card reader I've added a small script to execute in runlevels 3-5:
setpci -s 02:04.2 4c=0x22 #if "0x22" doesn't work use "22" instead
You should substitute the number "02:04.2" with the one shown in
lspci |grep storage
To make battery status update properly I had to unload psmouse module before each restart or shutdown or ACPI would get corrupted (see http://home.no/slazz/nx7400/#badstate ). I've added
modprobe -r psmouse
to /etc/init.d/halt and /etc/init.d/reboot just before 'halt' and 'reboot' commands. This also fixes sluggish BIOS startup.
I've also noticed that after I resume from sleep or hibernation, the laptop speakers stay turned on, even when headphones are plugged in. I tried to fix it by putting:
MODULES="snd_hda_intel"
in /etc/default/acpi-support (near "# Add modules to this list to have them removed before suspend and reloaded" line) but it didn't always work.
Kubuntu 7.04 "Feisty Fawn" i386
Przemkus: I've added information about this version of Kubuntu.
My laptop is:
bios-version:68TT2 Ver. F.06 system-manufacturer:Hewlett-Packard system-product-name:HP Compaq nx6325 (EY343EA#AKD) system-version:F.06
Don't use fglrx if it's not necessary, cause it hangs while logging off and the brightness +/- special keys not always work.
You will need to use ndiswrapper to run wireless connection.
There are problems with sleep and hibernation, the cpu fan doesn't start after waking laptop up, so it is necessary to turn the fan on manually by executing this script:
# public domain 2007 - Markus Brechtel (chaotika) <markus@b-r-e-c-h-t-e-l.net> # This script makes the fans wich ran before suspend come up after resume again on HP nx6325. acpi -t cat /proc/acpi/fan/*/* for fanstate in $( ls /proc/acpi/fan/*/state ); do echo 0 > $fanstate; done cat /proc/acpi/fan/*/*
There is a problem (in all linux distros) with non-linear volume scale. All control of volume depends on range about 50%-100% of volume control, so concerning laptop hardware volume control buttons it's quite irritating
Kubuntu "Gutsy Gibbon" release candidate amd64
Przemkus: I've added information about this version of Kubuntu.
My laptop is:
bios-version:68TT2 Ver. F.06 system-manufacturer:Hewlett-Packard system-product-name:HP Compaq nx6325 (EY343EA#AKD) system-version:F.06
While using fglrx the brightness +/- special keys not always work.
Wireless works with open driver, so ndiswrapper is not necessary (however I've heard it is necessary to use WPA encryption -> to be tested)

Azrael's gutsy comments
The desktop cd can't start Gnome (it hangs because of compiz) - you have to choose safe graphics mode at boot. [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/144760 Bug #144760] Alternate cd doesn't work - it gives black screen for unknown reason [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/147250 (Bug #147250).]
In previous Ubuntu releases my wifi card has been reported as Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 UART (rev 01). Gutsy reports it as Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 01) (notice the BCM chip number).
Also the graphics card is now reported as different model - lspci says its a ATI Technologies Inc RS485 [Radeon Xpress 1100 IGP].
My wifi works only with ndiswrapper. Open driver (bcm43xx) does not work. Ironically on Debian Lenny (testing) it's the opposite - ndiswrapper doesn't work while bcm43xx does work.
To make bluetooth fully work you have to install gnome-vfs-obexftp (from universe).
Card reader works out of the box.
Open Ati driver has 3D acceleration but it doesn't work stable - it gives bad rendering on OpenArena 0.7.0 and PlanetPenguinRacer. (see above bugs)
To make mic (both internal and external) work you have to go to the sound mixer, choose "edit > preferences" in the menu, tick "capturing", and then put the capturing slider to the max on the "recording" tab.
If you want to have a longer battery life then you should enable laptop mode - edit /etc/default/acpi-support and change "ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=false" to "ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE=true".
["Touchpad - turned off while typing: no (Ubuntu)" -> did you try [http://gsynaptics.sourceforge.jp GSynaptics] in Gnome? -- [:Przemkus] DateTime]
Yes, and it doesn't have such option - -- AzraelNightwalker DateTime(2007-10-17T07:59:20Z)
Wiki page comments
Please do not add Kubuntu (and other derivatives) when the same Ubuntu version is already added to the table. For example: Kubuntu 7.04 has exactly the same kernel and drivers as Ubuntu 7.04 so everything that works in Ubuntu 7.04 will work in Kubuntu 7.04 and vice versa. Same for things that don't work.
Info about Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10 has been cut out because it's practically obsolete. Only 7.04 and 7.10 should be left. -- AzraelNightwalker DateTime(2007-10-02T11:19:52Z)
