Installation:
Installing Ubuntu went without any problems, most of the components work immediately after the first run of the system.
was used to install my flash drive on which the recorded image of Ubuntu 10.04 using UNetbootin, which can be downloaded for Windows and Linux here. Because of the poor, already used the CD drive on this laptop, I could not install from a nice plate sent from ShipIt, where you can order a nicely pressed by Canonical plate:)

cooperation with the system hardware:
It is well known that manufacturers cares other systems that are not in the name of the variety of English words windows, but voluntary (and often well paid) job developers on the drivers of most well-known components allows for a great job of hundreds / thousands of different graphics cards, music, chipsets, printers or scanners.
In the case of the laptop does not have to worry about whether it works or not ... Everything works great. Graphics performance in the standard temperature normal.

- Installation IR
Just install two packages: irda-utils and ircp-tray by typing:

sudo apt-get install irda-utils-tray ircp

Then type the following commands and restart the system:

sudo modprobe irda-usb

irattach irda0-s

problems and their solutions:

- Irritating sound when on battery
is a high frequency sound (high-pitch noise) heard it while working on battery life. The cause of this sound is more responsible for the ACPI power and thermal management. More technical details can be found on the pages describing the Intel C-State Architecture.
To get rid of this problem,

edit file / etc / default / grub the rights of root, and change the value in a line containing:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet splash"
the
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT = "quiet pci = bios idle = halt acpi_sleep = s3_bios splash"

- Opening hatch matrix black screen greets us
When running the laptop when we close the hatch and open it again, the screen stop talking to us, it appears be quite well-known problem, apparently the cause of the problem is the BIOS and to our misfortune the last version which will not be repaired by Dell.

Just install the package : dell-lidswitch , which is in my repository .

- Adjusting the speaker volume and headphones at the same time
PulseAudio does not offer more control settings several channels simultaneously. Simply upload the package ubuntu-alsa (requires obmixer )

which is located in my repository .

Notes:

In summer, everyone makes sure that his equipment while it is running (usually in the summer because I go to the beach to sunbathe with a girl;]) are not overheat. In this case, the processor, which is the most warming is part of the laptops.

should

Install packages: i8kutils and gkrellm-i8k to graphical setting and policing the CPU temperature.

After installing the packages to load the module using:

sudo modprobe i8k

And run the program gkrellm on the menu:
Programs -> Tools System -> GKrellM System Monitor
settings and run the plug Dell i8k Plugin.
ładowć To avoid the module and program every time you start the system:
first Please file / etc / modules add i8k prior to entry
second lp Add a startup program Gkrellm menu System -> Preferences -> Startup Programs
PROGRAM GKrellM must be running for our system to manage the fan module i8k system only allows access to "wiercioszka" at the processor.
