Wow. Did I write this? It seems like another lifetime. Oh, yeah, I had a couple kids in the meanwhile ...

As I understood it, the 96.xx series of nvidia drivers just didn't have the proper...

In a word, no. The virtual 'hardware' in virtualbox is entirely a software construct, it is virtual (as of version 2.0.3). Wouldn't make sense to translate the 3D hardware instructions into...

Hello, Kevin. I'm afraid this HOW-TO applies to Breezy, and is several versions out-of-date. But, there's good news:

Starting from fiesty, you can install Suspend2 by adding a line to your...

No, sorry, this patch definitely does NOT work for Dapper. And in my limited experimentation, I was not able to hack the suspend2 patch to work with Ubuntu/Dapper; though you can still patch a raw...

Success rate on Suspend2 seems to be fairly good, especially now that all these folks have added bits about how to deal with the proprietary video drivers. It seems to work at least as well as the...

re: ipw2200 drivers; I just reinstalled my Ubuntu on a Sony Vaio, with the Intel wireless. Since I installed it from the CD (with the 2.6.12-9-386 kernel) and then updated it automagically through...

ash'rack: People are reading this, but most of us just don't have the nVidia drivers to worry about. My new laptop (coming in today, yea!) is another ATI, so I still can't even really properly load...

Hello, skye: I have not tried the patch set against the newest ubuntu 2.6.12. If it's giving errors, I need to hand-tweak the patchset a bit: I will try to jump on this in the upcoming week. I have...

foxiness: sorry, I posted a reply before I saw you'd already found a solution. But I can't delete it now. So this space is intentionally left blank.

about your sl-modem: have you looked for...

ming0: re the gcc-3.4.5, the package info has changed. Now, you should use
apt-get -y install gcc-3.4which pulls the latest version. I'll be changing the how-to immediately.

The how-to as...

The original config shoulld still be there, try cp /boot/config-2.6.12-9-386 /usr/src/linux/.config -- but the source might be config-2.6.12-10-386 if you installed Ubuntu in the past, uh, 3-4 weeks...

yes. in /boot/ directory, delete the custom kernel and the System.map and .config file with the same extension. Then run update-grub to rebuild the grub startup screen. It is probably best to...

bgalan:

I would suggest first to try to compile and run the kernel with thesuspend2 built in, but without selecting the Athlon processor. Also, make sure you copy the existing config file before...

RyanGT:

Yes, try the ALi driver, compiled into the kernel. That is actually the same one I am using with my laptop, although the chipset doesn't seem to match perfectly. I get the impression...

The speed it gives is before compression. Or after compression, whichever way you want to look at it. So the write went from memory at 104MB/s, compressed 54%, and anctually wrote to the disk at...

Device name for the swap drive should be likeswap:/dev/hda3--although, the swap device is not likely to be the sameplace on your machine. To see where your swap partition is, type in aroot terminal:...

If you follow the steps in the how-to, when you are in the make menuconfig step (10) you can go up to Processor Type and select the optimization there. I used k7 optimization, but did not include...

The Ubuntu patches are already applied in the linux-tree kernel source that you apt-get. What is not already in there is the restricted modules, that are available in binary-only form, like the...

If you cannot type modprobe and get a response, then (pardon me for being simple) maybe you are not logged in as root? Try sudo modprobe -l

Thanks for the info (validation). I also suspect the code in there for clustered computers; if they are having trouble getting SMP machines to work, then I can't imagine they have a handle on a...

I misplaced who was having the difficulty with running Suspend2 on LVM, due to overagressive deleting of messages :oops:; but there is a great how-to on Nigel's site at...

Mizzou Engineer: I imagine when you turn off the old "Software Suspend" in the make menuconfig step it removes the hook for the wake-up call. You *might* want to try re-compiling the kernel with...

Hello! Had a long weekend that was very much like a vacation. Maybe because I was away from the computer the whole time :cool:

art: The suspend2 has some toshiba-specific code in it that I could...

chanders: I hope I am not stating the obvious, but have you tried listing (and uncommenting) the nvidia modules in the /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf file, where it says:

### modules

Ubuntu does indeed use gcc4.0.2, but the kernel requires gcc 3.4 in order to compile. I believe that the 2.6.12 kernels were sort of a transition, they are possible to compile with gcc4 if you tweak...
