Ubuntu Feisty Fawn Installation


May 12, 2007
 

Well we just installed Feisty Fawn on one of the laptops here in the office. Everything seems to be running smoothly. I'm going to be posting some basic "reminders" for myself for the next time I do an install, so these might help someone, or they might not.

  1. Make sure you get the latest aptitude (apt-get) stuff...
    1. sudo aptitude update
    2. sudo aptitude upgrade
  2. Add a script to startup
    1. Write the script in the /etc/init.d/ directory
    2. update-rc.d filename defaults
    3. chmod +x filename
  3. Turn on the wireless led for an Acer CL56 (might put this in a startup script
    1. sudo modprobe acerhk
    2. echo 1 > /proc/driver/acerhk/wirelessled
  4. Install Alien
    1. sudo aptitude install alien
  5. Install Automatix

That should at least cover the basic install stuff. Please do NOT ask any Ubuntu related questions in the comments section. They will not be posted. If you have questions, go to the Ubuntu forum.

A great article for 13 things to do once you install ubuntu. http://daily-web.blogspot.com/2007/12/13-things-to-do-immediately-after.html

Filter, If you had a bios prior to verion 1.4 for the CL56 it doesn´t automatically start the hardware switch (which effectively prevents it from starting up in the default ubuntu install). There are actually a lot of laptops that need the acerhk to "turn on" their wireless card switch/led so that they can connect to the Interent.

It´s a little bit curious. Why do you have to enable wlan card´s LED by hand. Did´nt it work without this measure or is it for "optical" purposes only?
