Current Issues (Hoary)

  • dmesg output informs me that I have to turn off the killswitch to run wireless but setup insists on having the killswitch turned on

  • Does not associate with AP
  • 1024x768 resolution is unstable; screen is fuzzy. Switching from another resolution works, but going back getting a clear 1024 seems to be a hit or miss issue.

Current Issues (Breezy)

  • It is a struggle to run Breezy on this unit; I've burned and tested at least 5 Colony 3 CDs as well as the daily build (08222005) and I still get consistent failures on installing at Stage 2 (tty4 shows its trying to install some OOo and Mozilla packs)
  • Won't reboot after Stage 1 of installation, had to pull out battery [http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13882 #13882]

  • Won't reboot after doing sudo shutdown -r now, had to pull out battery [http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13882 #13882]

  • Fan doesn't seem to work (uh-oh) - runs on Hoary though
