Anyone feel like testing this stuff with 12.04?

I've been running nvidia through compatibility mode for a while and everything works fine (minus slow start-up and really slow out of sleep mode...

Anyone want to update with what does/doesn't work on 11.04? (UL30 / UL30VT)

(mine is UL30VT)
I couldn't turn off nvidia without it freezing starting a good while back, so I have switched to...

i just tried a youtube 720 video and it seemed to work alright. Haven't really tried enough to be sure though.

Unfortunately i think the last kernel upgrade or maybe one before (-13 or -14) broke...

So you are running the nouveau driver for the ULX0vt? How is performance? battery life / power drain?

I switched from nvidia drivers back to intel only because of super slow resume from suspend...

It doesn't work after suspend (not sure about hibernation), at least for me. Supposedly there is a way to make it work but I just have the .deb installed and I don't think that version works after...

*bump*

I am on maverick meerkat now too, don't know if that will change anything, but it made the nvidia option unusable with lag and stuff (probably the new driver and the weird gtk glitches...

THANKS!! Didn't have to restart and now watching the same video that in totem/old way took 40-50% cpu only needs 9-10% with mplayer+vdpau. Great :)

I'll try the trackpad fix(es) in a bit. Thanks...

yeah i hadn't thought about compiz off as a useful saving feature. My other major issue with nvidia drivers on is that suspend takes a lot longer to come back from, and startup is possibly...

Thanks again for all the tips.

I have enabled nvidia driver and card on my ul30vt as explained by a previous poster. I then applied most of the power-saving tricks given here (not all the ram...

wow that is amazing news if it works....

couple questions:

does hdmi out then work?

can you turn off the intel card if nvidia is activated?

what kind of battery life with nvidia card...

good to know. It seems to have gotten slightly better (maybe i'm just more used to it).

i guess it's just a good reason to update to meerkat alpha sooner :) or perhaps find someone else's kernel...

Thanks for the script/tips on power saving, I will give it a go. How are you measuring your power consumption btw?

you can use amule to connect to edonkey network which can use any link from verycd.com, search the forums for more info if you need.

you can run xunlei in wine from what I read, but I've never...

To clarify I haven't tried any of the nvidia drivers, but my understanding is that none of them work because you need hybrid drivers of some sort, not just something that will support the g210m (of...

I've gotten brightness controls to work both from my keyboard and from manually inputting brightness levels through the terminal. I did it with the acpi events (also turning touchpad off is a must...

in case hadn't seen it yet: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1366605&highlight=ul30vt

You can switch off the nvidia card (to save power). But there is no way at least in the threads I've...

so I really need 1.8 gigs free to upload? Looks like I am stuck on Jaunty for a while then.... :(

So I have been trying to upgrade for a while now, but thanks to an admittedly complex set of conditions, I have had no success whatsoever.

Basically the upgrade manager always tells me I don't...

Hey Thanks, you're awesome! This was happening to me and seemed so random, searched google and was linked here, I think it is fixed now (crosses fingers). :)

Hello Community,
I recently purchased a cheap "Handwriter," which is some sort of drawing tablet which is specifically made (cheaply, I might add) to input Chinese characters. After a little...

*bump*

Is this really not possible?

Yeah, maybe I wasn't clear enough on my first post.

1.) I don't have a cd-rom drive
2.) I am running Ubuntu, and have no Windows available
3.) I just want to make a bootable usb or sd card to...

I am running Ubuntu on an eeepc and I was wondering if there is a way to get from a windows .iso file to a bootable usb or sd card, using only Ubuntu.

I have seen this question asked a few...
