Hi geoback,

yes the fan is going on and off – this seems to be related to a buggy relationship between firefox & X (as cpu load increases when visiting some particular scroll-intensive websites)

This is not a ubuntu-specific problem: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=ubuntu+firefox+X+high+cpu+load&ei=UTF-8&fr=moz2

thanks for your comments!

Thank you for your blog.
When you have ubuntu running, like surfing on the internet, how is the fan? Is it going on and off every 1 Minute? Is it noisy? I know, noisy is not easy to say, because everyone sees it differently. But go ahead.

Thank you very much!

I will test hibernate in the next few days, but i think it should work. I was too stupid to create a swap-partition thats big enough for hibernate [swap=ram size] because NOBODY would ever need 3GB swap

Hi, I purchased a dell vostro 1310 and suspend and hybernatework so i think suspend should work on 1510 too.
Card reader reads for sure SD cards.
Hope this helps.

Hi there, I’m currently using ubuntu 8.04. I had serious problems with the Realtek RTL8111/8168B Gigabit Ethernet controller (all packets dropped). The module name is r8169. I would like to report that I was able to fix the issue by passing the pci=nomsi parameter to the kernel at boot time.
