Installation :: Ubuntu 10.10 Won't Run On Lenovo Laptop / Get It To Work?
Jan 24, 2011
I have a problem that Ubuntu 10.10 won't run on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop. I have managed to install it over ethernet a few weeks ago an it worked fine, but whenever I try to install it from a cd, installation completes successfully, but the Ubuntu won't start. A black screen with a lot of text on it and then everything freeze.
I have tried it without installing and it worked (live cd). I have also tried to install it on my desktop machine and it worked fine.
On my laptop, I already have a Windows 7 (64 bit) on another partition.
Did anyone have a similar problem?

I have installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop Lenovo T60. The problem is i can't make extended monitor in that way: laptop 1024x768 and Monitor LG L1952HQ 1280x1024. If i make this configuration, screens appear black and i can't go back without restarting. Presently system support only: laptop 1024x768 and LG L1952HQ 800x600. This configuration (laptop 1024x768 and LG L1952HQ 1280x1024) worked well previously with the same ubuntu 9.10 before reinstallation. I guess i should reinstall ore change to other video drivers? The refresh rate is set on 60 Hz.

I'm new to Linux and I'm still trying to make my linux work on an external drive. I think I have found how, but I need to use the pipe symbol in a command line and I don't have it on my keyboard.I've tried different settings for my keyboard and different language, but nothing seems to do; I try all the keys, with shift or alt, but nothing works.I'm working on Debian, Lenny, with a Lenovo 3000 v100 Laptop. Nowhere on my keyboard do I have the symbol I am looking for. I have the vertical bar divided in two, but not the continous one.Do I need somehow to remap my keyboard or add a function to a key?

I loaded Fedora 10 onto my Lenovo T60 last week. everyday i boot it up and it works fine for a few minutes, then freezes. to the point of powering off. my mouse still works but nothing else. i power back up and it generally stays up after that.
Before i had Fedora i was useing PCLinux 2009 and it worked just fine. i get a kernel error alert every once in a while. i finally submitted it to Fedora to be reported. also a flash plugin says it is needed at times but most media plays.
Is there something i'm missing here? like i need to add an additional update? i already updated/installed most Fedora 10 updates.

I try to make a small AVR-Board boot a Linux from my Lenovo laptop, which is configured as NFS server (running nfs-kernel-server). Everything is configured correctly and it should work, but it doesn't.I just installed another laptop (from ASUS) with the same configuration (OS, tools, settings) and there it works immediately.
So I wondered, what's going on on eth0 ? I checked with Wireshark and here are the things I found out.On both laptops, the following paket arrives:

I've just joined the linux gang(or I am trying to) I have
-downloaded desktop/netbook edtion
-burned to dvd using infrarecord
-changed bios settings to boot from cd
-didn't work
-used the override feature that gives a bootlist at splash screen but cd drive not listed so I assume the cd is not recognised as a boot disk
-tried the usb/cd maker that comes with in the rar but its looking for the cd image...an .iso file, but I can't find one in folder.
ubuntu says I can run a trial from the cd alongside vista but when I open the executable it just offers intall, no try and if selected starts to install I think I can do the partition thing if I have to but I don't want any vista running on my machine.

I have at office dual booting Fedora14 + Windows 7 in Laptop Lenovo G550. I am using it regularly for work. Recently it stopped normal shut down. It showed some panic message first time and i have to force shut down.It boots normally. Now it does not give any message during Shut down but it does not shut down properly. Every time i have to force shut down.I am ready to follow instructions from forum members. I want to know that how much serious this panic is. Will it result in corruption of installation?

I have a laptop lenovo T410s, using RHEL 5.6, 2.6.18-238. I'm trying use the external monitor as dual head using the system-config-display tool, but the generated xorg.conf fails:
Monitor autoprobe results
Monitor autoprobe failed.
And if I boot up with the monitor attached using the old single head valid xorg.conf, both screens stay blank. It works only with the external monitor cable disconnected. I don't know what else to try.

I just put Fedora 11 on my Lenovo Thinkpad t400. I selected the integrated (lousy, but Intel (supported)) graphics device in the BIOS, but I really hate the lower performance than the discrete graphics device. However, this device requires fglrx or radeonhd for DRI. RPMFusion has not released an (a)kmod-fglrx, so I can't use that. I have heard radeonhd has some stability issues though, and I don't know how to install. I was wondering how I could completely change my graphics configuration (change chipsets in the BIOS) and get the X Server in Fedora 11 working with the new driver and chipset. Is it a good idea to use radeonhd, or should I wait for the fglrx?
Even then, how would I completely change my graphics configuration so it would work with a different card & driver? I don't want to do a fresh install because I've done a lot of work & customization with the F11.I don't know anything about radeonhd, so any information about this kind of thing would be useful.Finally, should I just suck it up and deal with the Intel graphics? Is anything of this sort really worth my time? (I'm willing to spend quite a bit, trust me!)

It's for a Lenovo x140e laptop with Jessie. Specs online commonly describe the laptop as having BCM43142 but I ran "lspci -knn | grep -iA2 net" and the output says I have BCM43228. Not sure why there is that discrepancy but I am assuming the latter, BCM43228, is what is actually in my computer.
Anyway, I originally installed "broadcom-sta-common", "module-assistant", and "broadcom-sta-source", but that resulted in nothing happening so I think I am going to "apt-get purge" those and start over.
I know about the Debian wiki "wl" page but it only provides instructions up to Wheezy, not Jessie. And I read many previous threads but they often contain different instructions and mixed results, plus there are many moving parts here (kernel, OS, driver, packages) and the instructions seem to be changing over time.
I was thinking I'd install these:
1) firmware-realtek
2) wireless-tools
3) module-assistant
4) broadcom-sta-common
5) broadcom-sta-dkms
6) broadcom-sta-source
Does the order of install for those above packages matter at all? Do I need the kernel header or not and, if so, how do I use it? Are there any other packages I need? What is the process?
Output of "lspci -knn | grep -iA2 net"

I just got a new T400 and installed Ubuntu. Everything is fine and I'm really impressed by this OS. But seems my wireless network is very unstable. Sometimes it just can't connect.
The wireless interface is:

The mic on my laptop (lenovo g555, Ubuntu 11.04) doesn't work. No matter what application I'm using, it won't register. It worked just fine when I had windows installed. I've checked my sound preferences, and my input isn't muted, and no matter what volume I put the input at, it won't pick anything up.

I just installed the latest ubuntu (10.4 or something) on my computer, and it seems nice, but it won't connect to my wireless internet. Shouldn't it just automatically detect it? It doesn't seem to.
I'm not very computer savvy, but I figured that it may need to have drivers downloaded so it will work with my computer's wireless internet hardware.
But I don't think I can get any drivers if I'm not connected to the internet.
I do have another little USB wireless receiver, but that has an installation disk with an EXE file, which apparently does not work on ubuntu.
Note: My computer is a Dell Inspiron 1525. Ubuntu is installed as the only operating system. It is freshly installed.

I have having trouble getting the WiFi to work on my Gateway laptop model M6752. It has the Marvell Technologies Ethernet card. I am attaching the output of various commands like lpsci - nn, ndiswrapper -l etc. I have followed the instructions from one of the threads and got the driver installed. It even says that the device is present. I don't know why it is not connecting.Also, Under System->Administration->Network Tools, it is showing on Local Loopback and wired eth0 interface. The wireless interface is not showing up there.

I have installed it in multiple machines (servers, desktops, laptops)I have even installed 10.04 beta in several laptops for educational purposes without a single crash. But 10.04 crashes in laptop ASUS X50GL with processor Intel Core 2 Duo T5800.In fresh installation, it hangs always, in ANY 10.04 version, beta or stable, 32 or 64 bit, also from iso image in CD or in usb stick,I have tried all possibilities!Therefore, clever enough, I though let's do it in an indirect way: let's install the 8.04 distro (it works) and later on I will upgrade to 10.04. So I just did.Everything was fine (also the upgrade, without a single warning) until final reboot after upgrade to 10.04.hanged at boot!. There is incompatibility between 10.04 and this firmware, clearly. Unfortunately, 10.04 is not yet stable, I guess.I took a picture of the screen which I attach.

I recently got a lenovo w510 laptop and I installed openSUSE 11.3 KDE on it. the wireless works fine at home (802.11g WPA2) when I go to work I have tried to set up the wifi for the 802.1X PEAP network but it doesn't look like it even tries to connect.
The work network set up is as follows. non-brodcasting SSID (do I need to tell network manager of this? I manually enter the SSID no problem)
Dynamic WEP 802.1X
PEAP
blank anonymous identity
no CA cert (I suspect this might be the problem)
PEAP v 1
MSCHAPv2
I have verified my username and pw several times, as well as the SSID. Just yesterday I helped a co-worker get on the network under ubuntu and it worked like a charm.
The Hardware profile displays the wifi card as a "WiFi Link 6000 Series" It is an intel card.

I am attempting to install Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 within Windows 7. The installation process using WUBI worked as expected. However, after rebooting to finish the installation process, I am stuck at:
Completing the Ubuntu installation.
For more installation boot options, press 'ESC' now...
0_
I'm definitely puzzled on why I'm stuck on this screen. Also attempting to boot from USB will be stuck without an additional command line being inserted. I have come across threads relating to boot issues, but I have found no solutions to this. I'm rather annoyed that this sort of bug has not yet been fixed. Earlier this year I installed an earlier version of Ubuntu Netbook, which was most likely version 9. So I have no idea why 10.10 suddenly will not install on my machine.
