[KLUG Members] Thinkpad T22 Ubuntu 6.10 Install

[Peter Bart]

Hi Everyone,
	Just an update on my adventures. Fresh on the heels of my Ubuntu 6.06
install on a similar machine, I tried to install the same on a T22
Thinkpad. It didn't work so well; suspend and resume broke; but I read a
post on the Ubuntu forums that version 6.10 solved those problems. It
did indeed but it wasn't w/o it's own problems. Apparently X has
problems with the LCD screen. The fix described here
<http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_Ubuntu_on_a_ThinkPad_T21>
solved that. I did just the first part; up to and including step 6; not
the additional steps. I finished updating the install from the included
repositories and checked that suspend/resume did in fact work. I'll
finish adding all the goodies tomorrow.
	So far Ubuntu/Gnome has impressed me. I'm still getting used to the
'sudo' concept but it works. I do have a slight problem with 6.06 on the
T30 randomly freezing. So far days apart and seemingly random.

Regards,
