Ubuntu Hardy Heron on MM10

leave a comment »

Vanilla install of Ubuntu 8.xx on MM10, with Ubuntu Desktop (gnome) and encrypted LVM…

1. Didn’t auto-detect monitor. Need to go in and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf manually

2. longrun not installed by default

3. Authentication seems flaky. Sometimes I am asked several times for my password.

4. To get to a root prompt:

$ sudo su

Optionally, can use ‘passwd’ then to set a root password, which is undefined by default on Ubuntu

5. Suspend doesn’t work.

6. Need to resize fonts a bit — too large for DiddlySharp

7. Otherwise, looking good!
