Installation, Thinkpad 520, Ubuntu 11.10 tips

I have a Thinkpad with Intel + NVidia graphics.

Can anyone offer advice on what to do during the initial installation? Should I disable or activate the NVidea/Intel/Optimus graphics? I believe that there is an option in the BIOS.

I read on the project of Ironhide (former bourdon). Is it worth a try?

Unless you want to venture out on the way to Bumblebee, your best bet may be simply set the display on discrete graphics device in BIOS-> Config-> display configuration. Ubuntu 11.10 should install and run reasonably OK using a 32-bit kernel (see a recent thread on the W520 and 64-bit kernels). If you don't mind installing the NVIDIA drivers, you can try the. You will probably get a little better performance out of them, but you need to address to re - install these drivers, whenever the kernel is updated. This Debian wiki page and some of its links children have a good discussion on this topic would be a good place to read: http://wiki.debian.org/NvidiaGraphicsDrivers you may encounter this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/699802 if you have a separate/boot partition, but it should be easily bypassed for now.

  • Installation of OpenVPN Ubuntu Build

    I wanted to set up remote access with Open VPN and found a construction made for VMWare.

    http://OpenVPN.NET/index.php/access-server/download-OpenVPN-as/164.html?osFamily=virtual%20Appliance%20%28VMWare%29 & ex = 1

    I downloaded the file and created a virtual machine.  I set up the CD on ESXi player to open an ISO file and traveled to this file.  It will not be open for my NFS share because I think that it is not in ISO format.  I have to open with "all files" instead of "ISO".

    I need to load Ubuntu it self first, then install the Open VPN.  I thought that since she had the VMWare version, it could be all grouped.

    Thank you

    John.

    You posted in the VMware Workstation forum...

    Next, you need to transfer the customer to the ESXi server via the VMware Converter Standalone (the only way I know how). It's free:

  • Create native installer RPM under Ubuntu

    Hi all

    I create the native installers .deb on an Ubuntu machine from a .air file successfully. I use AIR 2.6 SDK.

    On the same machine I tried to create .rpm packages leave the same .air file, but without success.

    It seems that the .rpm package is corrupted. After some tests it turned out that the .rpm is just a renamed .deb package.

    Should I build the package under another distribution that supports the .rpm or maybe I did something wrong?

    Thanks for any help,

    Paolo

    Hi Paolo,.

    This is the expected behavior. In order to create native installers for a particular distribution, you must create in native mode on this machine. for example, on Windows, you can create an exe on Mac a dmg on a .deb Debian distributions and so forth. (You can rename any other extensions, but it won't work)

    For example, to generate an rpm file, you must be in native mode on a distribution that supports the RPM (supported RPM distributions are Opensuse and Fedora)

    I hope this helps.

  • AC adapter - 90 units of safe to use with Thinkpad Helix W?

    The power adapter supplied with my Helix 45W unit, model ADLX45NLC2A. There the rectangular yellow tip.

    I also have some maps for carbon Thinkpad X 1 (90W, same tip) and I have a Lenovo Ultraslim 90W travel adapter with rectangular yellow end (which I use to load a carbon X 1).

    I need a spare adapter for my Helix, but I now have a bunch of cards to yellow tip the propeller in good form physics. Can I use the adapter 90W Ultraslim and carbon X 1 on my Helix adapters?

    Thank you

    Yes you can use it. The propeller will automatically sense the power rating of the adapter, it will not increase the use of voltage (so underway, given that the voltage remains unchanged) which is required by the machine.

  • How can I get rid of the title bar?

    When I installed Firefox on my new computer Windows 8, I got a style in which there is no title bar. The tabs are up there with a Firefox orange button on the left. It allows to access the menu items. I like that. However, I tried the function of my profile on a Windows 7 computer. (A lot of stuff in there). When I installed that, it put me in a situation where there is a title bar to waste unnecessarily vertical screen space. In this profile of Windows 7, I used the Tiny Menu addon to compress menu items on a single button. It is on a line with the address bar and the search bar. The tabs are below. I can't understand what is set in the profile of my Windows 7 to get the appearance I like in the 8 Windows Installer.

    I tried the tips here: http://www.squidoo.com/hide-firefox-title-bar
    I see no label on the higher setting and browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar is already set to true. When I turn off the Menu bar and title bar goes away and the legs are up there with the orange button in Firefox; However, I lose the address bar and the search quite bar.

    There must be a way to solve this problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    I doubt that there are those who might say why you could not install SP3.
    Fact is that the installation of SP3 should functions and it s any laptop you are using. It is not in the laptop!

    In your case, I recommend to clean the BONES and the registry using CCleaner.
    Then you must download the full pack of SP3 and it need to store on the HARD drive.

    As long as your computer came with windows 8, you need not enter the product key for windows 8, such that it is integrated with the system board. Also, before wipe you your HARD drive, it has a recovery disk partition that is hidden on your hard drive. You can create your recovery media, which includes the operating system of it.
