How well is Arch with Thinkpad T43?

I have an old Thinkpad T43 with Opensuse 10.3 installed, as opensuse 10.3 is out of support cycle, I want to try Arch, but not sure if everything is fine, currently all hardwares(modern, suspend/resume, speaker/mic, volume control, etc... everything) are working fine, I also tried latest versions of some distros like Ubuntu 10.04 but there are a few hardwares not working. Is there anyone who have similar experience can tell me how well is it?
Thanks!

I think a T43 even fully supports all tp smapi functions Check the wiki for all possibilities!

  • How well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment ...?

    Hi all,
    I wanted to check abt how well SAP copes with a manufacturing environment where there are many parts for many product lines, with small production quantities being the norm. In this case, you would see many BOMs, High quantity of POs, Supplier invoices etc. This is in addition to the normal needs for Quality inspection forms, WIP movement and valuation. It's intended to be utilise all the modules, ordering, inventory, quality, purchasing, MRP, sales order, invoicing, payments, AR/AP, HR, CRM.

    Hi,
    SAP was built around the manufacturing functionality. I have been implementing SAP into Manufacturing companies for the past 17 years and the size (Big or small) and complexity (simple or complex) has never been an issue.
    In fact, I would say that the companies that benefit the most from SAP are manufacturing companies that have lots of BOMs, lots of POs etc.
    there couldn't be a better fit of functionality.

  • HP Bluetooth Laser Mouse - anyone know how well it works with Leopard?

    I have no doubt that it should connect fine to my Boot Camp Windows XP, but has anyone used this mouse with a MacBook? Is it a good mouse in general? What about Leopard - are all of it's buttons and functions available?
    This is the mouse I am looking at : http://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-Bluetooth-Laser-Mouse-wireless/dp/B0013JX38S/ref=sr11?ie=UTF8&m=A3J0NC2R65XHPW&s=generic&qid=1223575379&sr=1-1

    I got the HP mouse today, it looks very sleek and seems to connect effortlessly in Leopard and Tiger, has a good amount of hand support too. The only immediate concern is that the tracking speed seems to go from average to WOAH THERE!!! with little in between (like the shower that only has two settings - freezing cold or scolding hot). The tracking is very fine though so I guess smaller more refined movements may be in order. Haven't found how to make the scroll wheel sideways button action work yet, but at least I have a scroll wheel again.
    I got this mainly for Windows gaming on the MacBook so the Windows drivers are probably much better and more refined for that purpose.

    Hi,
    Not sure about the scenario - many BOMs for many production line - Is it that there are very high number of material master data which has BOMs or there are lot of BOMs for single material. If it is the second case, concept of variant configuration can be used, where number of BOMs are reduced by using super BOM.
    Regarding high quantity of POs: probably you can exlpore the option of clubbing small POs into a single one for common vendors.

    Hi Usha,
    ...you should have a look at the diffeent best practices offerings (aka. All-in-One). Theree are a lot of offerings there - pre-configured, ready to go - that apply to manufacturing industries like Chemical, Automotive, etc. Go to help.sap.com and you will find details abiout the content of the different best practice solutions.

  • How well does the new Mac mini preform

    Hi, im thinking of picking up the 2014 Mac mini (i5, 2.6ghz, 8gb ram) And I was wondering how well it performs with yosemite,
    thanks

    If I needed a second computer around the house for email, surfing the web, correspondence, and editing family pictures I'd pick one up or look for a good deal on the previous model. Besides the obvious downside of not being upgradable, the internal hard drive (as opposed to the SSD) is a serious bottleneck on performance. Several years ago I said I'd never buy another computer with a hard drive and that was when I had an iMac with a 7200 RPM drive. Now that Apple is installing slow 5400 RPM drives in its base desktops I advise everyone to get an SSD or Fusion Drive. I was frankly surprised how good Intel's Iris integrated graphics is (compared to its previous efforts)

  • How to setup grub2 with arch linux and xen, lvm on luks

    OK, so I tried downloading this package from AUR:  https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xen-git/ , but that has patching problems as noted in the comments.  It looks like the packagebuild sets up all the xen stuff for you, but I can't seem to get the package to install because of the error's while patching.  If anyone can point me in the right direction on what all the extra files in the PKGBUILD are for or how to debug problems with PKGBUILDs not working because of patches.
    So next I just tried to compile the latest xen from git://xenbits.xen.org/xen.git (with ./configure, make, make install) and that seemed to go fine, but I'm a bit confused:
    1.  Do I have to do any additional configuration for xen when working with arch linux?  On ubuntu I could just compile the source, update grub, and make sure to start the x services at runtime.
    2.  How do I set up grub to load xen with this setup?  Right now this is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg:
    GRUB_DEFAULT=0
    GRUB_TIMEOUT=5

    I've tried throwing in a line like: XEN_HYPERVISOR_CMDLINE="cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:vgStorage", but nothing new shows up on the grub boot menu.
    First time trying to set up a non-ubuntu system, please help!

    As for XEN.... well you could always try QEMU/KVM or LXC.
    As for the LVM2-on-LUKS/dm-crypt

    Things to note:
    Numerical UUID is the UUID of the ROOT partition.
    Alphabetical UUIS is the BOOT partition
    hd1,msdos2 AND ahci1,msdos2 are how the Grub Bootloader numbers the drives not Linux.
    I have my BOOT partition on a USB stick, and it is the Second partition.
    So, that would make it, Device 2 and Partition 2
    Device numbering starts at 0
    Partition numbering starts at 1
    Oh, and note that you don't need ":allow-discards" ... at all but certainly if you don't have an SSD. Also note that I included the line numbers so it is very clear that I didn't post the whole thing, but instead what I thought was relevant. Finally, I am loading modules that I don't even need, but what the hell... if it ain't broke, don't fix it

  • How to restore Thinkpad T43 or R52 using rescue and recovery CD's

    The genuine IBM Recovery CD Set will re-install your ThinkPad T43 or R52 (listed types only) with the original pre-load factory software, including Windows XP Professional with a legal, valid license, and all the original IBM Drivers and applications.
    1. Set your Laptop to Boot From the CDROM Drive.
    IT MAY ALREADY BE set to boot from CD if a bootable disc is in the drive so try and see if it does first with the disc labed 'rescue and recovery'. If it does then just skip to step 2. If it does not then you will have to enter the computers BIOS setup to tell it to.
    NOTE: When in the BIOS SETUP DONT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE if you are not absolutely sure what you are changing.
    ACCESSING THE BIOS:
     During startup at the first screen (says "IBM Thinkpad") press F12 then F1 to enter the bios setup program.
    Use keys to navigate to 'startup' then to 'boot'. Press enter and following instructions in the right hand panel move the items to make your CD or DVD drive (Atapi CD0) AHEAD of your main hard drive (IDE HDD0). It doesn't matter if 'legacy floppy or USB are ahead of either of them if they are not connected. PRESS F-10 TO SAVE AND EXIT the bios setup program.
    2.Restart the computer with the first disc i.e. Rescue and Recovery CD already in the drive. The recovery program will come up. A smaller window will come up.
    3.Follow the on screen prompts.
    Choose to restore to Factory Specifications to Install OS, Applications and Drivers
     At some point it may ask if there is a supplemental disk. This is the one that says 'Lenovo'.
    4.Follow on screen prompts (i.e. insert disk 1)
    5.The prompts will continue to ask for the discs in numbered order.
    6. Follow the instructions on the screen to restore laptop to factory settings
    7. Do not boot directly to the hard drive until the entire recovery process is complete i.e until you have used all the recovery cds for the set.
    8. During the recovery process the computer will reboot multiple times. Do not do anything to interrupt the process unless you are asked to insert any specific disk.
    AT THE END:
    Promps may ask for the supplemental disc again, follow the on screen prompts.
    Computer will restart, you may see the original recovery screen. BE PATIENT, The files still have to expand. You may not see any prompts for a couple of minutes.
    SOMETIMES: (I dont know why)
    After loading all the discs and after it takes you to the recovery program if nothing happens AFTER A GOOD PERIOD OF TIME, BE PATIENT, remove all discs and click on restore factory contents AGAIN. It will expand all the files (takes a while) and restore your system.
    Afterwards computer will restart multiple times as it continues to load windows, programs and drivers. Follow all the on screen prompts until it is done.
    Once everything is done go to microsoft (All Programs > Windows update) and load all new service packs and updates.
    Partially taken from the internet and written for a customer. Tried and tested. PLEASE ADD TO KNOWLEDGEBASE.
    NOTE: instructions may also be valid for other Model Thinkpads.

    IIRC this was the normal recovery/restore procedure for older ThinkPads.  First the recovery image is installed, then the machine reboots to Rescue and Recovery to use that image to restore the rest of the hard drive. User input is required at that point to select restore.
    Newer machines combine both operations.

  • How well do displays over 20" work with macbook?

    Im thinking of getting a cinema display or similar at about 20" or so. how well does the macbook handle large displays since the gfx card isnt that powerful? im not expecting to play World of Warcraft at full size but will any applications take a hit? i have the lowest macbook model but i put in 2gigs of ram. thanks.

    I just got a macbook and it works fine with my dell 2007fpw. For that matter, my g3 ibook works fine (if a little slow for some operations) with that monitor at full resolution (1600x1050) (after screenspanning doctor). The graphics card may be weak compared to other current laptop offerings, but it is by no means bad, and for any 2d task it is just fine.

  • How well does a Samsung Galaxy (Android) integrate with Mac OS?

    Hi, I'm wondering how well a Samsung Galaxy integrates with Mac OS?
    In terms of:
    -Address Book contacts
    -iCal calendars
    -Mail (dot mac mail account)
    -iTunes Music
    Is it possible to create a seamless experience?  Anyone doing this?

    Smart panel works OK for me on Lion but the printer is CLP325-w. (though only recently updated and Im pretty sure it was ok on the CLP315 too.
    To check status go to system preferences>Print&Scan and the check the options and supplies box. You should be able to see 4 toner levels.
    Also, what happens when you actually choose to print? On mine I get a box appear which actually shows toner levels each time.
    I'm not actually in the office right now so I'll check later and post again if I can add anything.

  • Issue with installing drivers for thinkpad t43

    good evening all.
    i offered to help out a friends son by reinstalling a fresh copy of xp on his t43 as it wouldnt load due to virus's and what not.  everything went fine with the install apart from the fact that i cant seem get certian drivers to register.
    In Device Manager under network adapters it is showing BCM5701 Gigabit ethernet and the device status is stating '' this device cannot start.
    then under other devices its showing: multimedia audio controller, network controller, pci modem and unkown device
    i have downloaded the files specific to the model, OS but can seem to find the fault
    ThinkPad T43 (2668-B12)
    Operating System:Windows XP Service Pack 2  ( it is the xp pro edition)
    is it worth reinstalling again or have others come across this and it is something i have missed?
    thanks in advance.
    JD
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Welcome to the forum!
    Installing drivers on most ThinkPads is a two-step process: after you've ran the downloaded file, you must go into the Win subfolder and run the setup from there.
    For instance, this is the applicable wireless (network controller) driver for that T43:
    http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/6hwc05ww.zip
    After the download, you might have to go into C>Drivers>Win>Wlanint and run the setup.
    Mutimedia audio controller is the sudio driver:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-58599
    C>Drivers>Win>Audio
    I suppose that you're catching the drift by now...
    Before anything else, I'd *strongly* suggest that you install Intel chipset driver, and SATA power management driver.
    Good luck.
