Perfect? I wonder if the author tried installing it on a MacBook Pro.
WiFi won't work without the proprietary BroadComm drivers. But jockey (the program which detects which drivers you need and installs them for you) won't work without an internet connection. So if you don't have a usable ethernet connection handy, you're a bit stuck.
It's possible to install the drivers manually, but it's a pretty convoluted process (which still involves downloading things - go figure). I've not yet had any luck with it.
The irony is that it clearly has the drivers somewhere in the .iso, because when you run it in LiveCD mode it's able to install them, no internet connection required.
Overall it felt like a trip back to the bad old days of linux, where you had to spend a week editing config files before you got a usable system
Not what I'd call perfect.
- Zak 16y agoI'd like to have working suspend/resume on my Thinkpad while using Compiz and the FireGL. I'm going to blame this one on ATI, rather than anything under Ubuntu's control, but it's still short of perfect.
- Estragon 16y agoI have a Lenovo T61. There is no suspend option in the power management menu, but from the command line, pm-suspend-hibernate seems to do the right thing.
- Zak 16y agoWhat video card does it have? The problem I'm having is specific to ATI's proprietary driver when used together with Compiz.
