Linux Mint/Ubuntu touchpad drivers u410

Hi, can one of the lenovo reps provide, or explain why they are not providing touchpad drivers for the u410 in linux. I have a bit of a hack going that allows tapping on a certain area of the touchpad to register as a right click, but depressing the clicker to the right of the marking just does a normal left click.
Any method of registering a right depress of the touchpad as a right click will do me.
Thanks.

create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/51-clickpad.conf
(i had to create the xorg.conf.d folder)
put the following text into it, log off and log on:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Default clickpad buttons"
MatchDriver "synaptics"
Option "SoftButtonAreas" "50% 0 82% 0 0 0 0 0"
EndSection
I intend on playing with that 82% value, perhaps changing it down to 62%, because the height that the right button responds from isn't the same as the left button with the above solution.
What way did you set up the hard drives with the u410? I wiped both, put mint 13 on the SDD and have the HDD for data. Do you know if that's a sane idea? I've heard SDDs might not last very long, but then I've also heard info to the contrary. Also think the mic doesn't work out of the box. Did you set up the nvidia card with bumblebee? Nice laptop really, have had to reinstall linux 4 or 5 times to get to this (finally stable) state though, given all my attempted twickery. Had intended on putting ubuntu studio on it, but it kept freezing (as did mint). Would love any info on moving the home folder (and anything else that makes sense) to the HDD. From Galway... Out

  • Broadcom Wireless Driver - LINUX (for Ubuntu LTS Slipstream)

    Hello,
    I'm looking to build a slipstream ISO for Ubuntu LTS. The current LTS ISO comes with the wired NIC driver but not the wireless - can someone point me to the place to find the driver? I know I can plug in a wired connection and then do an update within Ubuntu but I'm trying to avoid that or at least have the wireless NIC work from the start.
    Thx.

    which broadcom chip do you have? im pretty sure the 4313 broadcom chip has the same driver as my atheros chip in my b570 which the driver is already on linux mint, ubuntu and a few others you just need to do a little command line stuff.
    to get mine working i had to type:
    sudo service network-manager stop
    sudo rmmod acer_wmi
    sudo modprobe acer_wmi
    sudo rfkill unblock all
    sudo service network-manager start
    sudo rmmod -f acer_wmi
    that would get it working, then you type this to get it to stick past reboots:
    sudo su
    echo "blacklist acer_wmi" >> /etc?modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
    after that you will have a fully working wifi connection that will last through reboots, although wicd seems to work better than network manager so i would recomend swapping them out after you get everything working.

  • Linux Mint on Z580

    Hi every one,
    I need support for installing Linux Mint on a Z580...
    I just bought a Lenovo Z580 with following specs:
    Intel® Core™ i7-3632QM (up to 3.2 GHz), Quad-Core
    15" HD 16:9 LED Display (glänzend), Webcam
    8 GB RAM, 1 TB disc ,
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M graphics (2048 MB), HDMI, USB 3.0, WLAN-n, BT
    The laptop came with freedos installed on it.I need both Windows7/ Linux on the system as a dual boot system. Linux Mint/ Ubuntu preferred.
    I first turned off UEFI boot in order to easily install linux on the system. Windows 7 was my first step: Installed windows from DVD, no problem. Next step: Installing Ubuntu 12.10 for dualboot with the following partition setup (additionally to windows partion): on one logical drive, containing /boot (100MB), /swap (8 GB), / (100GB), and /home (100GB). Grub Loader installed to /boot. Installation without problems, Windows Boot Manager installed for linking to /boot partition. No problem when booting, when selecting Ubuntu in Boot Manager I get into Grub.
    However, booting Ubuntu was successful in about 1 out of 4 tries. Just freezing after grub. So, I thought it might be related to Ubuntu issues, and tried out Linux Mint. Same installation routine as for Ubuntu--same result. Just instable and unpredictable, whether booting will freeze or success.
    So, next thought was it might be a dual-booting problem. Kicked windows7 out, installed linux mint from the scratch--same result. Sometimes booting, sometimes not. Same for Ubuntu 12.10.
    Reinstalled windows again, tested SUSE (a distribution I actually do not like, but for testing) for dual boot. Here it works; coming up with failures in booting (but too quick gone to read), but booting and working properly. But as I said, I do not want SUSE but Linux Mint or Ubuntu.
    Last thought I had was the issues with optimus and NVidia. So, turned off optimus in BIOS, reinstalled Linux Mint; same as above.
    So my question is: Has anyone succesfully mint working on a z580 with the above specs? And any suggestions for solutions -- I am really desperate at that point!
    Thanks a lot, Jens

    I have a Z580 that is working with Ubuntu 12.04, but it has one problem that at first I had the same diagnosis as you.
    The problem is that with newer linux kernel, it takes about 15 minutes to boot.  At first I also thought it booted randomly because 15 minutes is way past the "give up" point.  Searching the web, I see several others have the problem and it started with kernels after 3.2.0-29 or maybe 3.2.0-30.  I did use kernel 3.2.0-29 for a while and it did not have the problem but opted to suffer the slow boot and use the latest available for my distribution.  Being a laptop that is not necessarily the best workaround for others.
    My Z580 is a different configuration (i3) than yours but as I said, I've seen others with the same problem.  If you can get booted, run a terminal and enter "dmesg | less".  Scroll down, watching the times on the left of each line.  Look for a big jump in the times.  Here is example from mine:
    [ 3.690130] usb 3-3: new high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
    [ 3.786170] usb 1-1.2: new low-speed USB device number 3 using ehci_hcd

    [ 241.204290] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
    If you see this, you are almost certainly having the same problem.  Later on you will see the "final retry" (or something) before it just goes on to boot:
    [ 840.311681] INFO: task swapper/0:1 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

  • Firefox running under Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12 (KDE) won't install extensions for Firefox

    Linux Mint (based on Ubuntu) 12, KDE desktop
    Firefox 10.0
    Started up Firefox right after Mint was installed. On the add-ons page video download helper was shown as a featured extension and I installed it, then rebooted when prompted. After that, Firefox would never install another extension again. Just gives download error.
    I google searched and in a forum I found a post about uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. I tried it. First time I started it up, it installed video download helper again, but then would not install any other extension after that. I tried numerous extensions I '''KNOW''' are working in Firefox 10.0 because they are working in Firefox over on my Win 7. Everytime I get a download error, either from the addons site or from the Add-ons Manager in Firefox.
    Someone told me on the Mint forums that I needed to add a subdirectory on a certain directory, so I did that. Didn't work.
    It seems Ubuntu disables the root, or cripples it, and I guess Mint does too. You can still use sudo when doing things in Ubuntu (and Mint I would assume, since it's based on Ubuntu) but you can't get true 'superuser' access as I understand it. But, I don't think this would have any bearing on the problem, or my search of the Mint forums would have come up with all kinds of threads screaming about this.

    Problem solved - it was caused by an add-on called "PDF Download 3.0.0.2)
    To fix - in Firefox :
    Click on '''Tools''' command (top of screen)
    Select '''Extensions'''
    click on "'''disable''' button beside '''PDF Download'''
    Close Firefox and restart it.
    Clicking on any pdf file should open a new tab now and the document will appear there.

  • EFI partition deleted after removal of dual boot of OSX10.8 and Ubuntu/Linux Mint - using rEFIt

    so, i recently installed ubuntu to check out the advances in the linux world since i last looked into them 10+ years ago... very impressed, but when i tried to delete ubuntu and remove the various partitions (which i was able to do just fine using gparted) reFIT still displayed the **** linux logo from the install i deleted....
    OSX still boots fine... a install of Linux Mint i have on another partition(s) still boots fine ... everything appears to work... but i want to know what the possible issues are so i can be prepared...
    this is frustrating...
    so i went in and looked around with the remaining partitions and noticed the EFI partition which hadn't shown before i mistakenly tried to install another distro over ubuntu after wiping the partition it was on...
    so i erased the EFI partition hoping that this would remove the g-damned hold out linux boot logo in reFIT... it didn't... now i suppose i can go back in and create a new EFI partition through gparted but that stupid linux logo will still be there... and i'll have another problem of getting the proper information back onto the EFI partition, which i am unsure of how to do, or where to even dig up the proper information...
    i want to edit my boot mbr or grub or whatever the eff apple comps use as a boot record so that (or i am using as a boot record since i'm using reFIT) to get rid of this **** logo, so i can install another distro of linux and probably windows without having the **** supernumerary logo...
    i would rather not wipe the whole drive (aka the primary partition the recovery partition) and do a fresh new install of os x (mountain lion) because i have OSX set up just the way i want it for personal use and work use... all my various tools and so on...
    i don't use time machine and can't do a "restore" from a previous back up...
    some one please help me out here, what are my options? am i going to have to bite the bullet and do a wipe of the entire drive and all its partitions to get my MBP back to 'normal'???

    Your disk is already partitionned so you don’t have to choose between GPT or MBR, the choice is already made.
    You don’t partition “C:”, that is the name of a Windows partition. You partition a drive.
    Grub or syslinux, use whatever the beginners guide tells you to. Personally I think syslinux is simpler which is why I’m using it (but I’m not dual-booting, if that matters).
    You’re not saying what your problem is with partitionning, so it’s hard to help.
    Thanks for getting back to me, I'm not sure if I just create one large partition for Archlinux or if I have to create multiple? Where I'm also confused is with the Creating Filesystems part of the guide. I don't understand how I'd do this in Windows, or what /dev/sda1 is referring to.
    As for the bootloader part, the Beginner's Guide gives you a choice between syslinux and grub, what I'm not sure about is which to use considering I'm dualbooting. How it will affect my windows bootloader, do I disregard that and use GRUB now? I'm unclear on how that works.
    I'm also aware I need to disable Secure Boot, I just searched my BIOS options and couldn't find anything remotely relating to that, so I'm assuming it's not an issue since this computer was originally on Windows 7 anyway?
    Thanks again, Expi.

  • DVD/CD drive not working on linux - ubuntu or linux mint

    CD/DVD drive doesn't work with linux mint or ubuntu. Tried mounting it manually but fails.

    Hi there,
    Is the drive being detected when you click Computer or My computer ?
    if not, you can try the following.
    Run Regedit then go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    look for upper and lower filters ; Right click both of them and delete it.
    alternatively you go to this link and download the patch:
    http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do;jsessionid=78DE0C1BFF71FB71B290A830E7E71 A5D?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=445782xml& sliceId=&dialogID=47618490&stateId=0%200%204798466 7
    If all else fails, then you might need to try booting on the recovery cd. since it will isolate wether if your problem is software related. if it still fails, then you might already need to have a CD replacement.

  • How do I install Linux Mint 17 from USB on Flex 10?

    Hello everybody,
    I want to install Linux Mint 17 on my Lenovo Flex 10 device.
    I tried to make two different bootable installation USB sticks using the Rufus software but when I try to boot from them, the boot menu show only Windows. It seems that Flex 10 doesn't like my USB sticks. One is former Mandriva USB, the other is ADATA S102/8GB USB 3.0. Should I try another USB stick?
    I've read several threads relating to this; someone suceeded, more people didn't get any answer.
    One suspicious thing is that Rufus says that I need an EFI ISO image when I choose the UEFI MBR or UEFI GPT partition scheme. Isn't the Mint ISO an EFI ISO image? So the only option that remains is "BIOS or UEFI" scheme. I think that should work but it doesn't. They say that Mint 16 already supports UEFI. So Mint 17 should too.
    Other thing is that there might be an issue with 32/64bit UEFI. How do I switch between 32 and 64 bit UEFI?
    Am I missing something? What am I doing wrong?
    --CIgydd Bach
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    So I'm going to answer my question myself. * Edit: An ironic note to Lenovo removed. They don't deserve it. *
    For everybody who wants to boot or install Linux to Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 10:
    Flex 10 has a 64-bit processor but a 32-bit EFI (UEFI) firmware!
    Therefore I guess most of us have 32-bit Windows pre-installed for it.
    Because Microsoft is so poor that they cannot provide us with a 64-bit system with a 32-bit bootloader. Oops, they cannot provide Lenovo with that combination.
    And Lenovo, you guys prepared me a hell solving the riddle why only my Flex 10 doen't boot Linux, neither 32-bit distros nor the 64-bit ones.
    * Edit: Not removing this one. Yes, you prepared me a hell but it was also a big fun solving the riddle. *
    Because the 32-bit distros don't count with UEFI at all (they suppose older firmware, so called BIOS) and the 64-bit ones don't count with a 32-bit UEFI.
    So I had to download a bootloader one guy precompiled for others to boot the USB with the installation ISO image for Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit. Here is the bootloader file:
    https://github.com/jfwells/linux-asus-t100ta/blob/master/boot/bootia32.efi
    The next post was very helpful to me. There I discovered that I have to download or compile a 32-bit UEFI bootloader:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Linux-Discussion/Flex-10-the-installation-of-Linux/td-p/1516596/page/2
    And here I finally followed the instructions how to boot to the USB stick and it helped me a lot in the overall process and progress:
    http://www.jfwhome.com/2014/03/07/perfect-ubuntu-or-other-linux-on-the-asus-transformer-book-t100/
    There you will see that you have to follow these steps:
    Shrink your C drive in Windows and create a new partition to be deleted and re-used by Linux (Windows doesn't like surprises).
    Turn off the Windows Fast Boot option (or Windows could damage your Linux partitions). 
    Compile or download (see above) a bootloader for the USB stick.
    Boot the stick, make sure the live image runs.
    Run the installation from the live system and install your Linux to the space you created previously (by deleting the new partition and creating root, home and swap partitions there).
    Boot to the newly installed system using the USB stick (you still aren!t able to boot to Linux from disk).
    You can skip the step of compiling WiFi drivers. On Flex 10, they work perfectly out of the box.
    Following the instructions on the last linked page, compile Grub for 32-bit EFI and install it onto your disk. Here I suggest a slight change against the instructions. Don't name the compiled Grub "grubx64.efi" but leave the name "grubia32.efi". I don't know why but after leaving this name, my Flex started to boot Ubuntu from disk.
    Edit: You don't have to compile Grub. In your newly installed system, issue the three following commands (this will install the Grub version for 32-bit UEFI, remove the 64-bit UEFI version, and clean up possible mess caused by removing it):
    sudo apt-get install grub-efi-ia32
    sudo apt-get remove grub-efi-amd64
    sudo grub-install
    Don't forget to change Grub settings in /etc/default/grub. Also do not forget to run the command "sudo upgrade-grub".
    You can skip the step with compiling new kernel with Flex. Hardware support seems already pretty good (except of touchpad).
    The touchpad interprets a single tap with a finger as a right click. You can disable tapping and get used to the buttons as a temporary solution. It doesn't swap the buttons if you set so. If you are left-handed as me, you can force the swap of the buttons by issuing xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" from a terminal or from a script that you can run automatically on startup.
    I followed exactly the same steps with Linux Mint with a full success.
    On the start, I thought that Linux installation on Flex 10 was impossible.
    As you can see, it is possible. And if you want, you will succeed and reach that goal.

  • T410S and Linux Mint 17

    Hello,
    for the past few months, I have been struggling with my T410S improperly loading my touchpad and onboard keyboard, attached is my thread on Linux Mint Forums:
    http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=173213&sid=978fb94f69bd40e470fb328e1cc35bdc
    For a brief period of time I tried Ubuntu14.04.1 LTS, the driver issues most definitely disappeared but I really dislike the Ubuntu distro so I made a jump back to Linux Mint. The problem with my keyboard and touchpad persists.
    I have been looking into understand if possible, to implement the drivers from Ubuntu onto my Mint OS.
    So far I haven't been successful at all. I know how to fix the mouse problem after boot but it's a checkmate when my computer boots without the keyboard.
    I have tried different kernel versions, apparently identical kernel did not solve my problems either.
    I have spoken to a Masters student in Comp-sci and he recommended getting IBM/Lenovo module and modify the kernel which I am very inexperienced in.
    Any help would be much appreciated at this point.
    Thank you for your time

  • W520, Linux Mint, and nvidia card?

    I'm on a W520 with a Quadro 1000m nvidia video card, running Linux Mint 17 xfce (64-bit) Recentley, I came across a situation that required OpenGL 3.3. Best I can tell, my onboard intel card cannot support above 3.1! So I went to try and get the nvidia card working. Quick note for anyone at this point... Apparentley installing the propietary drivers directley from nvidia is the worst thing to do. I went to install the bumblbee drivers (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee) and have ever since been frusterated by a non working nvidia card. I've gone to the bumblebee chat, scourd the web for my issue, tried to re-install on a fresh USB.. Nothing works. Has ANYBODY else been in this situation? What were the steps you took to get a functional nvidia card? Heres an info dump of my issues.

    Why are you trying to install bumblebee ? The optimus stuff is horribly designed and it's a headache in the long run. As others have suggested, use the discrete option and use either nvidia's proprietary drivers or use nouveau. Installing nvidia drivers from their site is a bad idea. Nvidia says so clearly on its website. You need to get the nvidia drivers packaged by ubuntu. You should do the following: 1) Remove the nvidia drivers that you installed manually. This could help. http://askubuntu.com/questions/206283/how-can-i-uninstall-a-nvidia-driver-completely . Make sure that nouveau isn't blacklisted. 2) Switch to the discrete option in the bios. Disable optimus detection as well in the bios.  3) Your laptop should boot normally if nouveau isn't blacklisted. 4) If you have a working system after steps 1-3 , it's not too broken. The only thing that remains is installing nvidia's propreitary drivers if you choose to. The easiest way would be to open jockey (Additional drivers) and select the nvidia driver.   

  • HP LaserJet P1102W - no print output in Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon Desktop

    I've just done a default install of Linux Mint 17.1 - as feared, no print output.
    I'm guessing I need to install a driver - but I couldn't find anything easily on HP site, only Windows/Mac OS stuff. Are HP printers generally linux friendly? Where can I download drivers if they are? More over, I'm a total linux newbie, so any drivers need to be easily installed! I'm not currently familiar with Terminal windows and line commands!
    My printer does have wireless enabled, but I have it connected via direct USB also.
    Linux Mint did offer to run a diagnostic tool/debugging tool which gave a great deal of what means nothing to me. Debug output is below if it is helpful, but hoping a simple driver install will cure all ...
    Debug Output:

  • Problems setting up WiFi in Linux Mint 6

    Hey Guys,
    I'm running a 32bit version of Linux Mint 6 on my T60. I need a hand setting up my wireless connection. It boggles my mind, I am able to see the wireless network in my 'available networks' option. I am just not able to connect to it. Anyone else have this problem. I know my Atheros wireless device has caused problems for others...
    Thanks

    Also check whether your wireless router has some security keys like WEP or WPA-PSK, then set that too in your system....

  • Firmware Update for HP Hotspot Laserjet Pro m1218nfs through Linux Mint

    Hi,
    I have tried as many permutations & combinations as possible to fix this, but I am not able to do so.
    I run Linux Mint 16 KDE.
    I have the latest HPLIP Tool installed & working in my system.
    I tried connecting the MFP via USB as well as Wi Fi - printer DOES CONNECT to the system using both methods - I tried Printing the test page, which was succesful.
    However, i get the error "No internet connection" when I try to Enable the HP e-Print via the Web interface of the Printer.
    The supposed solution for this as I saw across the internet fora, was to upgrade the Printer firmware.
    My Printer firmware is dated 20130211. Whereas the latest available is 20130930.
    When I went to the drivers download page on HP, I was asked to select my Printer model & the OS.
    I selected both & was redirected to the HPLIP site to download the drivers. However, there was no Firmware upgrade tool available.
    A bit more researching led me to try the command "hp-firmware" in my Command line box in Linux Mint 16 - this command is meant to upgrade the Printer to the latest firmware.
    However, on running the command, I get the error "No devices that support firmware download found".
    I tried these things via USB as well as Wi Fi. I tried changing the Preferred DNS too, as mentioned in some other HP Help Topics. I tried turning the HP Hotspot On/Off as well.
    To sum up, it seems that I am in a loop. I am not able to use the e-Print function for lack of Firmware upgrade. And I am not able to upgrade the firmware for some totally unkown reasons.
    Please someone help me break the loop somewhere, so that I can start using e-Print.

    Hi @Brent0341,
    I read your post and see that the printer's display is stuck on a blue screen with the HP logo. I will certainly do my best to help you.
    I can send you the correct reset for the printer in a private message.
    In the forum beside your handle name just click on the envelope to view it.

    Thank You. I look forward to hearing from you.

  • AMD Catalyst with Linux Mint

    Dear all,
    I ahve a Lenovo G10 laptop, which has an AMD RADEON R5 M230 graphic card. I have downloaded the linux drivers  AMD Catalyst for my OS (Linux mint 17.1) from their site but when I start the installation process said that "hardware doesnt support the drivers". If anyone has a solution let me know

    It's up to you to decide wheter it's enough or not ! If it works for you...
    As mentioned above you can use vgaswitcheroo to verify. For this you need to enable _early_ KMS. (Forgot the _early_ in above post.)
    What would be the advantage?
    Please learn to use the wiki etc. for your own research before asking! https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ke … de_setting
    Don't forget to mark the thread solved, when this issue is resolved.[1]
    Regards
    [1] Edit: I meant the basic issue from your title. The thing is, I think, we try to have one issue per thread. Feel free to open another thread, when another problem/question arises (Of course after searching and trying hard to solve it by yourself first ).

  • How to disable battery protection mode on Linux Mint

    I did a frest install of Linux Mint on my newly bought U310, everything went well, except -
    I turned on battery protection mode in windows so that the battery never charges above 60% to preserve battery life span,
    But now on linux mint, the charge on the battery still caps at 60% and there are no options to disable it.
    There doesn't seem to be lenovo drivers for linux either.
    Any help is appreciated.
