Current Issues

Issues with kubuntu feisty:

  • xorg-driver-ati does not support graphics chipset (X1250)
  • Harddisk is very slow (some problem with Southbridge SB600)
  • Sound stutters (ATI HDA)
  • WLAN: bcm43xx module doesn't work (some IRQ_XFER error), ndiswrapper works but no WPA

Issues with kubuntu Gutsy:

Installation

Ubuntu Hardy

Hardy Heron 32bit LiveCD works and installs as expected. Be sure to have a wired internet connection after install because it will prompt you to download and install the ATI (video card) and Broadcom (wireless card) proprietary drivers.

Ubuntu Gutsy

Install from 64 bit version of Ubuntu Gutsy, even if you have 32 bit Sempron version, 32 bit Ubuntus do not work on this one.

To avoid number of errors,turn off wlan while install.

After reboot you have only console mode, cause missing ati driver.

Push CTRL+ALT+F4 to login in consolemode.*

Ati Driver Installation in console mode:

killall gdm (kdm)

apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx

depmod -a

aticonfig --initial
  

Reboot

Wlan Installation:

Step 1: All BCM43xx - Install NDISWrapper and Blacklist Native Driver

Open Console:

echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
mkdir ~/bcm43xx; cd ~/bcm43xx

Step 2: sp34152 Driver Download/Extraction

Open Console:

sudo apt-get install cabextract 

wget ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34152.exe  

cabextract sp34152.exe

Configure NDISWrapper

sudo ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
ndiswrapper -l
sudo depmod -a
sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.orig
echo -e 'auto lo\niface lo inet loopback\n' | sudo tee /etc/network/interfaces
sudo ndiswrapper -m
echo 'ndiswrapper' | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
echo 'ENABLED=0' | sudo tee -a /etc/default/wpasupplicant

Reboot

*In Kubuntu install all updates,before you have install Nidiswrapper for Wlan. This way you get wlan works at fine whit updated networkmanager.
