There’s a nice article regarding Mark Shuttleworth/Ubuntu/Canonical in the New York Times that you might find interesting.

It seems my Broadcom wireless card isn’t detected properly in my Dell Studio 1737 on a default Fedora 10 install. Damn, but all is not bad news. Bring on RPM Fusion, a simple
su -c ‘rpm -Uvh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm’
and a
yum install broadcom-wl fixes it all….awsome
Now if only they would fix the bug in the kernel/pulseaudio/snd-intel so i could hear sound on it, that would be fab…..Bug 477954
After joining the Fedora Free media program I thought the next step would be to add myself to the planet…so here i am.
My name is Paul Mellors and i’m currently working tech support for a major ISP web hosting in the UK.
Feel free to drop me a line to say hello.
I’ve noticed a problem with the Dell Studion 1737 and headphones under Ubuntu 8.10, if you plugin the headphones the sound doesn’t mute from the main speakers, pain in the neck if you’re wanting to listen to some tunes at work.
Here’s the fix (that worked for me)
edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
add options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6 to the end of the file
save, reboot and problem fixed
It’s my first day back at work and i’m not really in the correct mindset at the moment, this seems to happen every christmas. I think i need a holiday to get over my holiday.
On the experiment front, i’m using Vista at the moment on my laptop, i couldn’t go the whole hog and just use vista. I needed my linux fix, so WUBI to the rescue, install ubuntu using this and i can use Ubuntu (when i need to) with out the need to partition as it runs on top (ish) of windows.
Hope you all had a good christmas and new year
ps. to the trolls who added stupid “you use windows so you must be a homo” comment, here’s my first “FUCK OFF TWAT” of 2009
