X301 and ubuntu, or RHEL 5x

Hello, a quick search does not return much about linux on x301, so I am going ahead and ask.
I am pondering about purchasing a x301, and I am somewhat concerned by the few reports
found online, that would seem to suggest that there are a handful of issues, and in general
it would seem necessary to go "bleeding edge" on linux.
Some complains about the ALPS touchpad, many about wifi, even wired ethernet.
Ideally I'd like to be able to run RedHat EL.
Supposedly the x301 is "certified" to work with it, check this and this (@lenovo itself).
Does anybody have any good report, or knowledge about my question?
Thanks a lot,
-GF

from my 5 minutes of research, RHEL 5.2 has kernel 2.6.18 which got released at september 2006 and updated to 2.6.18.8 at february 2007. RHEL likes to freeze the kernel version for a long time for stability purposes. Remember, RHEL is intended for servers mostly. It is the same main kernel release that Debian Etch uses. Your x301 is a GM45 chipset (like my sl300), which came out this summer in 2008. All the kinks have still not been worked out on this chipset platform in even the most bleeding edge distributions (which employ linux kernel 2.6.27). It most definitely will fail or be troublesome to get working as the developers didn't know much about the hardware at the time RHEL 5 was released. you might get by using an fbdev X driver... then you still have to worry about stuff like ethernet and wireless lan.
If you really need it, I think virtualization with something like virtualbox is your only hope, and I wouldn't attempt to get such an old os running natively on such a new box. To make it work, you'd probably have to recompile your own kernel or install fedora rpms for kernel, Xorg and drivers and such. It'd definitely be a hassle. don't do it.
Vbox from windows is pretty easy... you could get the setup done in like 5 mins... and then you install RHEL from an iso image or cd just like a normal machine. Plenty of documentation online, and you won't have to worry about stuff like wireless.
my 2 cents.

Could use help dual booting windows 8 and ubuntu 13.04

I have a Lenovo G580 with windows 8 + Ubuntu 13.04 installed. I've been trying to get Dual-boot to work for the past few hours with no success. I've been following this guide. After setting up the partitions similar to the ones in the guide i downloaded easyBCD on windows 8. I then added Ubuntu 13.04 to the grub menu. When i restart my laptop i get the menu with lenovo recovery, windows 8, and Ubuntu(not Ubuntu 13.04 like i labeled) when clicking Ubuntu it says windows failed to load, insert media for recovery. I can't do anything to access Ubuntu at this point. I don't know what it is i'm doing wrong but could use some help. Below are some pictures of the process. I'll post any needed info that i may have forgotten. When choosing OS it's in uefi mode.

T430s fingerprint reader fails in both windows 7 (64 bit) and ubuntu.

Hi,
I have 4 months with my new t430s, and so far so good, I created a partition to instal ubuntu and I was able to have the finger print reader work in it.
The last week I left the laptop's battery to drain completely, but I did not notice it... I tried to wake it up but my fingerprint would not turn it on... I plug the charger on and the laptop started working again but now, my fingerprint log on was disabled, I had to type my pasword to log in...
From that moment on, this issue consistently occurs in both windows & and ubuntu...
The funny thing is that I can still turn on the laptop with my finger, the fingerprint reader indicator leds are working but the device only works to start the laptop. I have tried to delete the fingerprint data from teh BIOS, but I can still start the laptop, so I dont think this clear data command on the BIOS is doing anything...
I have tried re-installing the device, updating the driver, etc and nothing works, the device appears as unnavailable on the windows biometric devices section of my control panel, so I cannot enroll any new finger print using the lenovo fingerprint software since I get these 3 errors in any attempt:
E7210005 Cannot enroll user.
E7210005 Cannot update passport.
E7210005 Cannot find fingerprint sensor device.
Any ideas?
Is there a way to reset my device from the BIOS so al its data and its state is cleared?
Thanks!
Roberto O.

I have heard of this exact situation one other time, where fingerprint sensor stops working properly after PC unexpectedly turns off due to low battery. I think your fingerprint sensor has malfunctioned and needs replacement under warranty. Currently, I do not know of any other solution.
But can you please tell me:
1. how many fingers do you have enrolled?
2. do you use any BIOS passwords (such as administrator password, power-on password, or HDD password)?

X301 and Windows 7

Hello,
I installed Windows 7 on my X301 and have problems with three hardware devices.
One is the fingerprint reader. It is shown in the device manager but I cannot find a vaild driver.
The other two hardware devices I am not able to identify.
Is there a solution for these problems? When will drivers be available for windows 7? (I read the driver announcement post)
Regards,
Mathias
Solved!

Dell's fingerprint suit can be set-up on X301 instead of lenovo's package - works perfect!
now fo Wimedia device (that is wireless LAN) use the one from System Update (it show 2 Wireless LAN packages) that has "64 bit" in the name and ignore the second...
Install Auto features from Sysem Update - that wil properly enable microphone
Don't install registry patches and Vista Component updates...
Good luck....
P.S. I assume that You running 64bit version of OS... there is no reason to use 32bit on any hardware that allows to run 64bit....

IdeaPad Z370 and Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit - problem with volume buttons

I recently bought my new Lenovo IdeaPad Z370 without operating system and installed Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit (the pre-installed system was FreeDOS which I decided to remove).
Nearly all is working fine. The only exception are the volume keys: pressing them does start adjusting the volume, but causes a system problem. If I press sound up, the speakers move to immediately to the maximum volume and behave as it I was continuing to press the button.
The same happens when pressing the volume down or sound off buttons. It is then not possible any more to use the keyboard or type anyting, nor change the volume using the touchpad and Ubuntu's speaker symbol. It is also not possible any more to shut down the computer using Ubuntu's virtual shutdown button, but with the real button on the computer.
The touchpad is still working and after putting the computer briefly into standby the problem is solved to the degree that it is possible to use the keyboard etc. again, and the sound volume can be adjusted again with Ubuntu's speaker symbol.
I guess this must be a driver issue that ubuntu 11.1 does not support the buttons.
As well, the one-key-theatre button and the thermal-management button do not work. Pressing them, just nothing happens (except that the light up).
I should mention that installing Ubuntu apparently deleted the partitions including the one-key recovery button. At least this key does now only work like a second power-button. Unfortunately I did not receive the User-guide with the computer but only downloaded from the internet after installing Ubuntu.
I wonder whether apart from adjusting the volume buttons, it might be possible to get the one-key-theatre button and thermal-management-button operational for ubuntu too, and whether the one-key-recovery button could work under ubuntu too. Gparted tells me that I have 2 small partitions of 3.9 GiB each, labeled "extended" and "windows swap", and one of 1.02 GiB which is not in use apart from the main drive of course.

The issue you are encountering is due to driver absence in Linux.
The driver for Linux is not available. Hope, Ubuntu new version have more applications and drivers.

Tanuj

Dual booting Arch and Ubuntu

Hi, I would like to dual boot Arch and Ubuntu using GRUB2.
I already have Arch, set up as it's described in the Beginner's Guide, with GRUB2 installed. How would I go about dual booting Ubuntu, preferably without overwriting the existing bootloader?
I haven't tried anything yet, but the problem that I can see is resizing my /home; is this possible on the Ubuntu liveDVD? If not, would I be able to resize /home with my gParted liveCD?
Unfortunately, I have no backup media to use, so I wouldn't be able to transfer anything away as a backup.
Here is my partition table:
%lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931.5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 30G 0 part /
├─sda2 8:2 0 12G 0 part [SWAP]
├─sda3 8:3 0 5M 0 part
└─sda4 8:4 0 889.5G 0 part /home
sda1 is my root partition, sda2 is swap, sda3 is GRUB's boot partition, which I was told that I needed in the guide, and sda4 (/home) occupies the "rest of the disk".
I am using a GPT-partitioned drive, as I read this has many advantages and I do not plan to triple-boot Windows.
So, can someone tell me what I do if I want to dual boot Ubuntu? I'm very sorry if this should have been posted on the Ubuntu forums, but I'm just more familiar with Arch, and I already have it installed. Please ask if you need any other files like my fstab. I have my Ubuntu liveDVD, GParted live CD (and Arch CD) at hand.
Thanks in advance, rberyl.
(Also, does anyone else think it's a bit of a backwards thing to put the output of "date -u +%W$(uname)|sha256sum|sed 's/\W//g'" as a sign-up question? )
Last edited by rberyl (2012-12-29 11:45:23)

Hi rberyl,
You can change your partitions using an inbuilt tool like cfdisk, or if you'd prefer a GUI gparted can be installed from the Arch repos. This will allow you to shrink sda4, and set up the new partitions for your Ubuntu OS. Although this shouldn't cause any data loss, its best practice to back up just in case.
When installing Ubuntu, be sure to opt-out of bootloader creation. I think you have to use the alternate installation media to get this option. You can add your Ubuntu partition to the existing bootloader by running osprober (available from the repos) and then running grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg . Alternatively, you can manually edit your GRUB config. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … NU.2FLinux for instructions.
Good luck!

How to install Windows7 and Ubuntu 14.04 on a T440a

First of all, sorry for my poor English.
I am a new owner of a Thinkpad T440s which was delivered without an operation system. I want to install Windows 7 and Ubuntu 14.04 for dual boot.
I am going to install windows first, followed by the installation of ubuntu. - That is the recommended way, isn't it? Which settings are necessary in bios/uefi for that purpose?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

Lightning is a problem for you because it hooks into Thunderbird at a low level and you need a version compiled for the platform Thunderbird is running on. So you can't do the preferred solution, which is to put your whole profile in a shared folder and have both instances of Thunderbird reference the same profile. (Ditto for Enigmail). Lightning may become an integral part of Thunderbird in an upcoming release, at which point this limitation due to Lightning should disappear.
And if you can't use a shared profile, you can't set your Lightning, or your Address Book, to share a common set of files. Put another way, the linkage from Thunderbird to its address book files and calendar data is hard-coded, and not exposed where we can adjust it. :-(
The halfway house is to place your mail stores in a shared place, and use the Local Directory setting in each account's settings to connect to it. They don't need to be in the profile; what's more important in your case is that they are in a folder accessible to both operating systems.
Look in your profile; everything under Mail and ImapMail needs to be moved out to a shared folder. Note the entries in Thunderbird under Local Directory before you do this, and reconstruct those pathnames in Thunderbird, but adjusted to suit their new locations.
(You can see here that you need to make many adjustments, one per account, in each instance of Thunderbird, so it's a high-maintenance solution and this is why we don't recommend it when the alternative, moving the whole profile, is possible.)
I share address books and calendars between Thunderbirds on various computers (and my phone and tablet) by syncing to something in the cloud; Google Contacts and Google Calendar are my choices, using gContactSync and CalDav.
Having made the break myself some years ago, I'd recommend you break away from Windows. ;-)

4GB Flash Drive not loading on Mac (but on Windows and Ubuntu)

Hello,
I have a 4GB flash drive (probably from LG) that I bought about 3 years ago. It was working just fine all this time but now, all of a sudden, it's gone. Not working, showing up neither in Finder nor in Disk Utility. But it works just fine on Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Files are even readable there. I tried re-formatting it on Ubuntu in FAT-32 but it still won't show up on a Mac.
Any other flash drive is showing up on my computer (tested with 2 different ones).
Any clue?

I don't claim to know the solution to your problem, but in your situation I would try either or both administrator install methods: 1) Right-click the downloaded install file, choose "Run as Administrator" and install the software as usual. 2) Try using a different Windows account that you are positively certain has full administrator rights or the actual Administrator login name, install with that account.
Also, make sure you empty the browser cache before retrying the http pages. What about other browser settings, like security or privacy settings? Any add-ons or antivirus browser helper objects?
Do you only use Internet Explorer, or is this issue the same in Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari?
Good luck, hope you get the error fixed.

5130 Connectivity and Ubuntu

Hi,
I'm hoping somebody can help me.
I have been using a Sony Ericsson W900i with my Dell Mini-9 Netbook that runs with Ubuntu 8.04LTS, all I had to do was connect the USB cable to the netbook and handset and Ubuntu saw it as a network connection, was able to browse, send/receive email etc.
I have just "upgraded" to a Nokia 5130 and it's not working in this way.
On the Ubuntu forums I did find this:
connect Nokia to USB & select "PC Suite" mode
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ lsusb
Bus 003 Device 008: ID 0AAA:00BB Nokia Mobile Phones
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
--> vendor id = 0xAAA
--> device id = 0xBB
sudo /sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0xAAA product=0xBB
wvdialconf create
sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf
below adapt Baud & Init3 depending on modem & cell Internet Provider APN
you can find world APN lists on internet or ask your cell operator
Phone field maybe adapt too
[Dialer Defaults]
Modem = /dev/ttyACM0
0Baud = 460800
Init1 = ATZ
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","your_APN","",0,0
ISDN = 0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
Phone = *99#
Username = find it for your APN
Password = find it for your APN
Stupid Mode = 1
then type :
sudo wvdial
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo wvdial
--> WvDial: Internet dialer version
--> Modem initialized.
--> Sending: ATDT*99#
--> Waiting for carrier.
ATDT*99#
CONNECT
--> local IP address bla.bla.bla.bla
So I know I can "force" a connection, but it is far from user friendly to do this everytime I want to use the Nokia. I'm looking and rolling out a lot of netbooks and mobile phones to field staff so need to find a solution at present my solution is not to use Nokia

Thanks for the reply DeepestBlue. Kinda of ironic that Nokia's tag line is "Connecting People" and yet they seem so slow to actually help people get connected, especially when they were involved in an open source project for bluetooth.
I guess I could create a script and configure sessions in Ubuntu to run it, not a really an ideal solution but thanks for the idea it's an option. My problem is that the field staff will be given the netbooks, which will be configured to run an application when the start up. The vast (95-98%) of the users are non-technical so we have tried to make the system as easy as possible to run, in fact we have removed everything from the desktop and disabled gmone-panel so that they can't accidentally click the wrong thing
I actually tested a 7310 Supernova last night and had the same problem.

Is there a way to dual-boot OS X and Ubuntu on a PC?

Recently, my MacBook Pro was stolen along with my book bag while I was at school. The laptop and bookbag have failed to show up and I don't have the money to replace the Mac with a less expensive used or refurbished Mac. So I'm thinking about getting a Lenovo laptop to replace my MacBook Pro. I was wondering is there any way to dual-boot OS X Snow Leopard and Ubuntu on a PC? The Lenovo laptop has Windows 7 installed by default but I will replace it with Linux to dual-boot OS X alongside Ubuntu.
I was wondering is it possible to run OS X on a non-Mac computer and how would I do this?
I love using Apple products but it stinks when something like this happens and then I have to rethink the situation and try to find a solution. I'm not abandoning Apple because I'd rather run OS X on a linux computer than Windows, but that's just me.

OSX is legal only on Apple hardware. In addition, several who have tried to to load OSX on PC-hardware find the result buggy, or cannot find hardware drivers for the "alien" devices.

Lenovo s12 and Ubuntu 9.10

Any ideas? I am using the live CD and it doesn't work..

Hello to all,
Rather than starting a new topic I decided to hijack this for my questions about S12 ion and Ubuntu.
I've been using Karmic Koala for a while and then I decided to try Linux Mint Helena, based on the same distro.
There are a couple of things that I am yet to come over. These are:
- I run XBMC in Ubuntu, connecting my Leno to an HD LCD via HDMI. Whenever I connect to my tv I have to manually switch to tv out via Leno's hw shortcut and then go to Nvidia settings to adjust the display resolution AND panning. Each time I connect to my tv I have to go thru all these because Nvidia settings won't let me save the configuration. I'd like to know how I can automate this process like in Windows when I connect the hdmi cable the output automatically switches to LCD.
- Likewise, each time I connect to my tv I have to manually go thru audio settings and select hdmi out. I'd also like to know if there is a way to simplify this.
- Because XBMC is not compatible with Compiz, I have to go to System>Appearance>Effects and disable Compiz each time I run XBMC. I'd also like to automate this process.
Other than the above little problems I run into in my daily usage of the netbook, Ubuntu seems to run perfect. Though I have been following Ubuntu since v6 or smt, I can't say that I'm an experienced Linux user but I'd be willing to help as much as I can with your problems. I was lucky to have figured out some of the problems I came across like enabling the unrecognized wireless card, renaming my ntfs partitions and making them auto-mount etc.
Best regards,
Haluk

X301 and F3507G issues in Australia

Hi I have a F3507G wirleess card in my X301 and my service provider is not supported byt eh mobile card software form Lenovo.
I have tried some of the connection attributes talked about on other posts but these seem to turn the F3507G into a dial up modem and that is not what I need or want.
On the inital install I had options to connect over HSDPA and connected successfully once then the software showed the modem as being not available despite it being OK in the hardware profile.
I have the latest versions of Access Connections, Mobile Broadband Connect and the driver for the F3507G is up to date.
My service provider in Sydney in Telstra.
Three months after installing this card I would love to be able to use it more than once and for more than 15 mins.
Please help.

If you are trying to use a F3507G with Telstra BigPond Next G consumer service, you may have a more interesting time, as the BigPond Next G service generally only works readily with a device was supplied by BigPond, as they track the IMEIs of their devices.
Cheers,
Bill
