Options snd-hda-intel model=dell-m6 enable=1 index=0 In order to get this functioning I had to add the following to nf found at /etc/modeprobe.d/ Ubuntu doesn't seem to play well with my IDT 92HD73C1. (of note, I needed to disable both hybrid and integrated graphics in bios - or I get a black screen on bootup).Īudio - same problem as 9.04.

I went to command line and installed the new driver from Nvidia, and had no problems on bootup, graphics worked great - recognized both my 260M cards. you can find it here: Īfter completing the upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 as expected my graphics driver went crazy, and did not function - got a blank screen that flickered. So I downloaded the driver before my upgarde. I noticed that Nvidia had relased a new certified driver for linux to support my 260M cards - Nvidia driver version 190.42. I had just been using the generic driver until 9.10 came out.

on my 9.04 installation, I had never succsessfully gotten video drivers from Nvidia to recoginize my graphics (I have two Geforce GTX 260M cards, as well as an integrated Geforce 9400 on the board). Had the following issues, and their resolution: Also picked up proprietary drivers from the 9.04 no problem, so wireless worked. No grub problems like with the clean install. Very painless upgrade - for the most part. So instead of fumbling around for a wireless driver, i wiped the drive, put 9.04 back on, and figure i'd get it set to go and upgarde it to 9.10. No proprietary drivers listed when i go to hardware drivers (the funny thing was, for the desktop live cd, it did give me options for these drivers using live). Just generic Video driver (and no propriety drivers available - although the ones available previously for 9.04 never worked any way - 180 and 173)Ĥ.

No wireless - Broadcom AW1510 WLAN (this sucked, 9.04 install had given me this out of the box on install - and no propriety driver listed or available for it)ģ. Grub did not provide an item to boot my vista drive.Ģ. A few problems once install was complete:ġ. After that, the install went uneventfully. After some fumbling with it at the partition portion of install (going manual vs automatic) I was able to get it to see and install to the second hard drive. So I downloaded the alternate AMD64 install version for 9.10. (I had no such problem with the ubuntu 9.04 install). When I ran the install, it would not find my second hard drive. I dowloaded the iso for the 9.10(AMD64) desktop version. I wiped the second drive before attempting this clean install.
The first drive has win7 running on it, and I have had ubuntu 9.04 running on the second drive.
I have two 500 GB drives, and I'm not running RAID at all with them. I attempted a clean install of 9.10 first, not so succsessful. Well, I've just successfully gotten 9.10 going on my Alienware m17x notebook.
