Working:

• Displays work fine with 3d effects and everything (dual monitor with and without docking station) (Intel HD Graphics 3000)
• Built in speakers and headphone jack both work
• Built-in mic and web-cam both work - I used skype and google hangouts and both worked flawlessly.
• wireless worked with my open network connection (I haven't yet tried it on secure networks)
• Bay battery seems to work.

Not Working:

• Audio output on docking station
• Dual Displays sometimes reset to showing the same image on both rather than two seperate displays. This has always been fixed by reseting the settings in the Monitor configuration page.

I am impressed with how flawless the install was. I was dreading it because last time I did this on my last laptop 4 years ago, I spent a few hours getting everything in working order. So far I have not yet had to do any custom installation. Everything that I needed working, worked out of the box!

Let me know if you want me to test anything out and I'll try if I can.

OSError: [errno 13] permission denied

I found the solution here:

add the following line to your fstab and reboot:

none /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0

If you don't want to reboot, a temporary fix might be:

sudo chgrp $GROUP /dev/shm
sudo chmod g+w /dev/shm

That last part might not be the best way to do it, but it worked for me.

I had a lot of trouble getting this card to work. Here is how I finally got it.

I am running 2.6.32-30-generic-pae #59-Ubuntu SMP
running "lsusb" shows the following line for my device: 0cf3:9271 Atheros Communications, Inc.

I tried a bunch of different compat-wireless versions and this one finally did it. At the time, it was the latest stable release. The daily snapshots were causing kernel panics ... Download it, decompress it and build it:


$ tar xvf compat-wireless-2.6.38.2-2.tar.bz2
$ cd compat-wireless-2.6.38.2-2
$ ./scripts/driver-select ath9k_htc
$ sudo make
$ sudo make install


I had to download version 1.2 of htc_9271.fw the firmware from here and copied the file to /lib/firmware.

I was getting wlan%d instead of something reasonable like wlan0. Running sudo ifconfig wlan%d showed me the mac address which I could use to add an entry to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Heres the entry I added: (note that the browser adds newlines here, but you should add just two lines: one for the comment, and one for the rule)


# USB device 0x0cf3:0x9271 (usb)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="54:e6:fc:94:91:35", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="wlan*", NAME="wlan2"


reload the drivers by running:

sudo modprobe ath9k_htc


Now plug in the device. There were a lot of other steps that I followed while trying to get this to work, so I may have left something out.

The problem was with apparmor. It was restricting mysql from reading and writing to /home/mysql. To correct this I edited the file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.mysqld and added:


/home/mysql r,
/home/mysql** rwk,


to the end of the file. Then restarted apparmor:


sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor restart


and then restarted apache with no problem

TOLUA = tolua++5.1
 
tolua_%.cpp tolua_%.h : %.pkg
	$(TOLUA) -o $(@:%.h=%.cpp) -H $(@:%.cpp=%.h) $<

this will generate tolua_file.cpp and tolua_file.h files from corresponding file.pkg files anytime they the .cpp or .h file is depended on somewhere else in the file. In my case I just added tolua_file.o to my list of objects. Here is the full makefile for the project which required this - for reference:

download

download:

• pyclutter-0.8.2
• clutter-0.8.4
• clutter-gst-0.8.0
• clutter-cairo-0.8.2
• clutter-gtk-0.8.2

also make sure you have python-cairo-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev installed. There may be more required, but these were the only ones I didn't already have installed.

For some reason I had to configure all of these libraries with --prefix /usr to get pycluster to see all of them.

Also, configure pycluster with --enable-docs if you want any documentation.

have fun!
