installing Ubuntu on Sony SZ laptops
A year ago I bought a sony sz370 laptop, which is quite Linux-compatible. I put different versions of ubuntu, as a result, I stopped at version 8.04, which seemed to me the most optimal file for stability and doping. And so start from scratch.
I installed the system with an activated intel card (stamina position).
After successful installation and loading of the new system, you should update the entire system by first adding several repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list:
and add the lines:
back in the synaptic (System-> Adminitration-> Package Manager Synaptic-> Settings-> Repositories) it is necessary to check all standard repositories. I think this problem should not arise. Now we are ready for a complete system upgrade.
')
For the new kernel (2.6.24-23) to take effect, it is necessary to overload the system. So, we have a fresh system with the latest updates for today. The camera does not work out of the box, there is no wi-fi indicator, a memorystick reader (the one on the left), WWAN.
Let's start with the camera. In the arakhne repository, there are still no modules for the last kernel, but it’s not at all difficult to assemble them yourself:
The camera can be checked in the same skype.
now let's deal with the card reader, again open the console:
Now we have modules for the card reader.
let's deal with the built-in GPRS-modem now:
for sony laptops, I only needed one kernel module, and when I boot the system, the old sonypi is loaded, which is not required, especially since the new sony-laptop is already included in the kernel (it seems, just from 2.6.24) and successfully copes with its responsibilities. So:
and comment on the line
now running commands
You can see that the WWAN indicator has turned on, but it still needs to be initialized at each boot.
Typing
and add a line to the end of the file
make a symbolic link so that it is hooked by gnome-ppp:
Now the final steps:
and add udev-rule to the end of the file:
and create a handler file for this rule:
and write to it:
If we have a PIN installed on the SIM card, the last line must be uncommented.
Making our file executable:
Despite the fact that WWAN starts and works, sometimes the system hangs tight when I initialize it, I can not understand what the problem is.
It now remains to deal with the switch graphics. The laptop is equipped with two cards: intel 945 and nvidia 7400go and in order for them to start up normally, we need to determine which card is present in the system at the boot stage. First, install the modules for the nvidia card:
I spent a lot of time with cards. In the end, I’ll just bring configs for them.
xorg.conf.intel and xorg.conf.nvidia
these files just need to be copied to / etc / X11 /
And now the magic file for defining the card:
we write to it:
Now the final steps that will help run the compise on both cards:
and another optimization can be done for the intel card by adding to the end of the / etc / environment file
compare the output of glxgears with this command and without))

sudo apt-get upgradeFor the new kernel (2.6.24-23) to take effect, it is necessary to overload the system. So, we have a fresh system with the latest updates for today. The camera does not work out of the box, there is no wi-fi indicator, a memorystick reader (the one on the left), WWAN.
Let's start with the camera. In the arakhne repository, there are still no modules for the last kernel, but it’s not at all difficult to assemble them yourself:
wget download.tuxfamily.org/arakhne/pool/r/ricoh-webcam-r5u870/ricoh-webcam-r5u870_0.11.1-1arakhne1.tar.gz
tar

cd ricoh-webcam-r5u870-0.11.1/
sudo ./buildpackage
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i ricoh*.debThe camera can be checked in the same skype.
now let's deal with the card reader, again open the console:
svn co -r155 svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/tifmxx/trunk/driver
cd driver/
wget www.sw83.de/misc/tifm_ms.patch

sudo make installNow we have modules for the card reader.
let's deal with the built-in GPRS-modem now:

sudo gedit /etc/init.d/hotkey-setupand comment on the line

sudo su
echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/sony-laptop/wwanpowerYou can see that the WWAN indicator has turned on, but it still needs to be initialized at each boot.

sudo gedit /etc/modulesand add a line to the end of the file

usbserial vendor=0xfce product=0xd019make a symbolic link so that it is hooked by gnome-ppp:
sudo ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/modemNow the final steps:
sudo gedit /etc/udev/rules.d/60-symlinks.rulesand add udev-rule to the end of the file:
#Sony Ericsson EGPRS Radio initialization
BUS=="usb", SYSFS{idVendor}=="0fce", SYSFS{idProduct}=="d019", RUN+="/etc/udev/scripts/gprs_modem_setup.sh /dev/%k"and create a handler file for this rule:

#/bin/echo -en "AT+CPIN=pin_code\r\n" > $1If we have a PIN installed on the SIM card, the last line must be uncommented.
Making our file executable:
sudo chmod a+x /etc/udev/scripts/gprs_modem_setup.shDespite the fact that WWAN starts and works, sometimes the system hangs tight when I initialize it, I can not understand what the problem is.

these files just need to be copied to / etc / X11 /
And now the magic file for defining the card:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/vaiowe write to it:

if [ "$VIDEO" = 1 ]; then
