Ubuntu :: Installing Xubuntu 10.4 On Panasonic Toughbook CF-29
May 27, 2010
I'm trying to install Xubuntu 10.4 on a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 (Pentium M 1.4, 768MB ram). I downloaded the i386 desktop iso and burned it to a disk to install. When I go to install it freezes though. I tried it a couple times and one time when it froze I hit ALT-F1 and I saw this error message about squashfs repeating over and over. I thought maybe it was a bad disk at first so I burned another one and tried, same issue though. Then I thought maybe the ISO was bad so I downloaded another one from a different server.
Burned another disk same issue. Ran md5sum util on the ISO it is is definitely good. Was able to try one of the disks in another computer and it was able to work as a live cd (which it would not on the toughbook). This toughbook is known to be good because I have a Ubuntu 9.10 live CD that runs on it and I tried installing XP on it and that worked. I don't think there is any problem with the computer. So, I'm stuck. It looks like I have a good disk and a good computer. Why won't the two cooperate with eachother? How to get this to work?

I have a Toughbook CF-74 with a "Fujitsu USB Touch Panel" (how lsusb used to enumerate it). It used to work fairly well up until Karmic (couldn't get the calibration perfect around the edges), but it's just not there anymore in 10.04. I can only assume it's a kernel thing, because I tried some test installs of Debian Testing and OpenSUSE 11.3 (both with newer kernels than Lucid) and it's not there either.
I tried to manually load a kernel module for a different Fujitsu touch screen (from an actual Fujitsu laptop), but it didn't seem to detect anything.
There's not a whole lot of info out there about running Linux on a CF-74, so I think I'm in kind of in uncharted territory with some of this stuff.

I have an MSI netbook with a non-functioning version of Ubuntu (the GUI is GNOME, and currently not working) and I'm trying to replace that with xubuntu. For whatever reason, I cannot get the system to mount the USB key, which currently has nothing on it except for the xubuntu .iso file. My computer is encrypted with sda5_crypt, which comes up and demands a password just after the MSI boot screen. I assume I need to press some kind of key before the sda5_crypt screen, but I'm not sure which button that is. There is an option of pressing F11 for "boot menu", and from there I can select "flash card", but it doesn't do me any good to do that.

early yesterday morning, my windows 7 laptop died. the connection that accepts power from the ac adapter died. in response, i put back together my super-old desktop computer and installed the copy of xubuntu 8.04. i had laying around. i have been using windows' os's for my entire life and this is my first run on a linux based machine.
the problem i have is this: i can't install exaile as my media player. after watching videos on videos, googling until i've gone insane and trying plain old trial and error i absolutely cannot figure out how to install it. i downloaded the tar.gz from their website and have it extracted to my desktop. that's as far as i've gotten. this is ridiculously frustrating for me because i feel like i should be able to do this.

that didn't go so well. This is a Panasonic Toughbook CF-29 H3 model. Non-touchscreen, Pentium 1.4 M, 1.5 GB RAM, 40 GB HD, CD-ROM drive.
The machine boots off of the Ubuntu NBE 10.04 CD-ROM, goes to the splash-screen (the Ubuntu Logo and 4 orange/grey dots) and after a few seconds the splash screen clears, the screen goes blank, and the CD-ROM drive stops reading. That's it. I ran the Check CD-ROM utility from the boot menu of the cd-rom and it checked good. I ran the check RAM (MemTest) utility and that was good as well. I put the CD-ROM in my Dell Inspiron and it ran just fine letting me into the LiveCD environment.
I've tried Alt-Ctl-F1 to see if there's a command prompt, but that doesn't work. I can't find any special key combination that does anything for me.
I also burned a copy of Puppy Linux 5.0, and that meets with pretty much the same results. It gets to "Setting up the layered filesystem... Done" and then "Performing a 'switch_root' to the layered filesystem...Kernel Panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
And that's the end of the show... she will go no further.
The thing has Win XP installed on it and functional, so the machine works...

It seems I am having the same problem, but on a Toughbook CF-28. I tried searching the forum for a solution, and Google, but to no avail. Here is the run down:Installed Debian 6.0 from the NetInst (i386) CD, and all went well. Re-started the laptop, and all booted up fine (got the code lines). When the login screen should appear, all I get ilackscreen.CF-28 Hardware:RAM: 512MB. CPU: Pentium III Mobile 800 MHz (Im guessing from Google) Searches) Not sure what else it has, no information came with the laptop. I do know it has an ethernet port, which worked durininstall, has no wireless, does have a touch screen.I apologize for my noobness, but I am uber new to Linux. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

I've been running Xubuntu 9.04 for the past couple of months but have difficulty installing my Canon MX-860 wireless printer. Everything else works perfectly and connects wirelessly to internet. Since I run a couple of other Win based computers, printing from the Toshiba 1100 laptop hasn't been a problem. It would be an advantage. I tried to install the latest Xubuntu distro on the Toshiba and it installed but could not connect to the wireless Atheros card. Where should I start? get Distro 10.04 working first or try and install the printer with the existing distro?

I was thinking of creating an extremely minimal version of Xubuntu using XFCE. I have a Dell Mini 9, a netbook that uses a wireless-g card requiring bcmwl-kernel-source to work.What I would like to do is use either the alternate CD or mini.iso minimal install file to perform a command line install-style installation of the system.So far, what I am thinking (from reading this [url].... article:
HTML Code:
http:[url].....is to start off with these packages to begin with:
xorg
slim (if possible with 9.10, unsure if it is still available. in short, i want to use a lightweight display manager)
xfce4
xfce4-goodies
xubuntu-default-settings
bcmwl-kernel-source
aptitude
My opening questions are: Should I go with mini.iso or the Xubuntu Alternate Install CD (or the Ubuntu one)? If so, which one? What additional packages will I need to make the hardware accessible and fully functional? All I can think of so far would be sound (I'd like to stay away from PulseAudio if possible, it wreaks havoc with my computer), my webcam, and the memory card slot, if additional packages are needed for it?What other "core" packages should I include in this list? Should I include Synaptic, or other packages, and why?What do I need to take into consideration, since this is both a directly- and battery-powered computer?

using ubuntu 9.10 quick summary: need to set my tv resolution to 1840x1036 to see the whole desktop without cropping i just got a panasonic plasma tv and am trying to use it to watch movies from my computer. I hooked it up using my graphic card's dvi out. Since the TV came with a dvi to hdmi adapter I just had to buy a hdmi cable and now its set up to run under 1080p input. So I got 1920x1080 resolution for the tv. The problem is that the resolution does not fit exactly into the tv's screen. I am missing about 30 pixels top & bottom and some on the sides too. This results in me seeing my desktop on my tv, but the top panel with the applications menu etc is just out of bounds.
Under windows xp I have the same problem, but the nvidia control panel there has an option to "Adjust desktop size and position" which kind of works. Well you can resize but you cant position the picture. Resizing makes my actual resolution 1840x1036 pixels. With that resolution my left rigth top and bottom edges are all inside the TVs screen. Now i tried to do this in ubuntu using nvidia-settings and manually editing xorg.conf, but I am having no success at all. Nvidia or the x server or something is totally ignoring any modlines I include for my second screen (tv), and always shows 1920x1080 ... I have no way to scale the picture from the tv menu so I need to scale it in ubuntu. Does anyone know how to do this ?

I have a problem printing to a Panasonic Photocopier in my department that is also used as an ethernet printer. The printer model is DP-4530 and is used by everyone from windows 7 without problems.
I am trying to setup all the new machines with ubuntu instead of windows but this problem is really a show stopper.

Is there a driver or way to get a Panasonic Multifunction laser KX-FLB756 working with Ubuntu? When i so the 'add printer' thing this model is not mentioned in the list. Also when it searches it is doing it for a parallel port and not usb. This machine has both connections but i haven't found my parallel cable to try and see if that will make Ubuntu see the printer. So i am saying i have it connected via usb. I know the usb port on the computer is working as i have been using another laser printer via that usb port.

I have a Panasonic G1 digital camera this outputs raw files in Panasonic's own format (suffix .rw2). UfRaw and RawTherapee can both read these so I can work on them in ubuntu (though ufraw displays a very overexposed image at first). f-spot has problems and displays a funny pinkish mess.
Can I get F-spot to display .rw2 thumbnails?
I would actually like to get Gnome to be able to display panasonic raw thumbnails as well. Is this possible?
As an aside it would be one in the eye for windoz as Panasonic have not released a codec for XP, only for Vista and 7 (and it seams to have a nasty hook in it according to dp review)

I installed Ubuntu 11.04 about a week ago and everything has been fine except that Ubuntu thinks my monitor has a resolution of 1024x768, while the actual resolution is 1366x768. I can't set a higher resolution through the visual interface (my monitor is detected as "unknown") Are there commands I can issue through the terminal to sort this out?

I'm trying to use a Panasonic DVCPro HD camera as a webcam to stream live video from the camera to services like ustream.tv. Currently, the only way I can find to connect the camera to my computer puts the camera into a special pc connect mode (which does not allow recording) and makes the cameras p2 cards detected as drives. Obviously, this doesn't help me do live streaming (I don't even need to record on the camera).I've seen that on Mac OS X a program called camtwist can be used to do what I want, but it would be nice to find an ubuntu/linux solution.

I've managed to install Centos 5.3 (with Gnome) from a temporary IDE-based CD drive. This has now been removed and, instead, I have added a SCSI-based Panasonic LF-D201 DVD-RAM drive onto channel-B of the Intel SRCU32 (LSI clone) SCSI RAID card.
it seems that Centos cannot see the DVD-RAM drive at all - not even as a simple CD drive.

I have Xubuntu 9.10 64bit and Win7 on the same HDD in a duel boot setup. How do I get Xubuntu to see and use the Win7 partition of the drive? I have some video files that I want to watch from my Win7 partition. Also, have they fixed the login screen issues with Ubuntu 9.10 yet? Mine will never log in and this time I simply got lucky and it worked.

I use Xubuntu 10.10 on a the Asus Eee PC 900 netbook. After using Ubuntu Desktop, UNR, Lubuntu and PcLinuxOS. So you can easily say I tried a lot of Linux Distros.
Now my problem is that I've tried to run a .exe file with WINE. But Xubuntu gives the error that I can't run the file because it is not marked as a executable. Now I saw somewhere in the Ubuntu Documentation that you have to change the permissions with Properties>Permissions. But in Xubuntu I can' t make the file executable, as in Ubuntu.
