Ubuntu Installation
Ubuntu is now fully installed on my HP nx6325.
To do this I needed to boot the live CD with the no-apic switch. Thanks to this guide for the nx6125.
- The caddy has ext3 file system
- Windows has ext3 drivers to access caddy and ubuntu's partition (U:)
- /home/martin is mapped to be the same folder as My Documents
- Ubuntu has full read/write NTFS drivers for accessing C:
- Flash and java are installed
- Kopete is installed and webcam is working both ways (albeit with a very dark picture - why won't they make some proper drivers)
- Outlook and Thunderbird both connect to the mail servers via IMAP so they both contain the same data
- All MP3, DVD, WMA codecs are installed and working
- Wireless networking is working at 11mbit (I can see Bursary8 exists)
- OpenOffice has a Access Database plugin that doesnt quite work
- SSH and SFTP to the Thom Lab at uni are set up and my home folder in the Thom Lab is mounted as a network drive
- Wine Windows API layer installed
