Sony Vaio T 15 Linux

Hello guys,.

It's time for me to buy a new laptop and as a user of linux full time from the fact that the vast majority of laptops have graphics nvidia cards, I'm left with almost no options. Well that was until I read about the T-15 that seems to capture everything that I need.  However I've just come across a problem: it is not yet sold in the part of the world where I live. And even if every piece of hardware seems to be present in the linux kernel, I can't go into a store and ask them to pop in a cd and run a live cd to see what are the components. I couldn't less care on the touchscreen or keypad touch multi. All I really want is a quad core i7, 8 GB ram and more or less 15-inch screen. A bonus is that it's a vaio and I was very happy with my only current.

If someone experience with the T15 running linux and linux fedora also. And if someone could give it a try as a live cd and check if it works you will get my ethernal love! The simple fact is that I'm stuck with no command option abroad and I cannot risk to spend $1200 + and not knowing if she will be able to serve me

Well after the days of troubling people on youtube and electronic bulletin boards had a guy enough to check on its own vaio. Beck to leave a response here in case someone else faced same issue - the verdict: the laptop looks a safe bet for linux, just to users on all work, with the exception of the screen brightness of the keyboard that has judging by its tests is a problem with this laptop and all linux distributions (up to now ubuntu and fedora which is in general the vast majority). The solution is to change the .bashrc so that you can change/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness and add a keyboard shortcut. Usually it doesn't bother me a lot really because I'll never bother with the contrast of the screen-making who settle on once and that's it. The guy was also kind enough to explain how to solve this problem here: http://www.setera.org/2013/03/03/ubuntu-12-10-screen-brightness-on-sony-vaio-t15/ it comes to ubuntu, but the principle would be the same thing with another distribution.

  • Finger touch several fails on Sony Vaio Duo 11 running Ubuntu 12.10 (N - Trig DuoSense MultiTouch)

    Hello

    I recently bought a Sony Vaio Duo 11 Ultrabook / Windows 8 tablet hybrid. For my work, I need to use this device with Ubuntu Linux operating system. Most of the devices are fully supported by the kernel linux and ubuntu, but I have some problems with the touch screen. While ubuntu and desktop environment Unity support multitouch, and that N-Trig, which is the manufacturer of the tactile device mentions linux as an operating system supported on his web page, I get errors and wrong behaviour with her. I just describe the issue in this bug report on the ubuntu bug tracker (launchpad).

    https://bugs.Launchpad.NET/Ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1121379

    I am aware that the camera comes with windows 8 OS and ubuntu or any other operating system is not officially supported, but I need ubuntu for my work, and it's a shame does not take advantage of all the features of this wonderful harware from Sony, due to a misconfiguration or a bad bug. I'd also like to mention that ubuntu OS is the 3rd most popular operating system worldwide, with continusly increasing adoption by users. It would be good for Sony to be able to verify that his harware is fully functional with ubuntu, as it would be to broaden its base of customers, including those who would like to run ubuntu on Sony computer devices.

    Help, advice or contribution from Sony or any member of the community of sony to study and fix this bug will be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Thanks for your reply biege.

    I already contacted the people at the ubuntu community and watched in ubuntu forums and another ubuntu community support resources. The device is quite new and it seems at the present time there are only a few members of the community have ubuntu. I posted the problem here jump 1. To find other owners of 11 Duo who want to run ubuntu on it and 2. To make Sony associated people aware of the problem, because they may have some technical knowledge than ubuntu and X.org community is missing at the moment and could deal with this issue much easier.

    By the way. A member of the forum who reads this and want to run ubuntu on Duo 11 is required to press the button "Affect me too" on the page of the bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-evdev/+bug/1121379 ). This way we increase the "warmth" of the bug and thus increase the possibility for technicians and developers ubuntu for the note and get to work with her.

  • Sony Vaio Z - improved performance with docking station

    Hello

    I recently bought the sony vaio z at the station and noticed the graphics performance decreases when the docking station is attached. The Windows experience index - I have a rating of 6.5 for the graphics when using the integrated graphics card Intel 4000 and a 6.0 with the graphics card ATI 7000series. Is this good? Is there a setting I should change to fix this? I think that the ATI graphics card is better than the integrated Intel graphics card.

    Thank you.
