Use Ubuntu on HP3202AU

Use Ubuntu-general Linux technology-Linux technology and application information on HP3202AU. The following is a detailed description. HP3202AU is my new book. The article HP3240AU in December is about installing and using Ubuntu 6.10 On HP3240AU, which is my friend's book. The difference between HP3202AU and HP3240AU, in addition to the appearance of piano paint, the main difference is that HP3202AU CPU is AMD Turion X2 64 TL56 (1.8G), hard disk is 120G, it has one more USB interface and built-in card reader than HP3240AU, and the others are basically the same.

It is much easier to install Ubuntu on HP3202AU. to install the Go6150 video card driver, you only need to install it in the system/System Management/restricted driver manager. The HP3202AU built-in card reader can be easily recognized. You can directly insert an SD card to open and choose to import photos. Although Ubuntu7.04 has enhanced the network experience, it still cannot start the BroadCom 43xx wireless network card of HP3202AU. Therefore, connect to the Internet with a wired network and run the following command on the terminal:

$ Sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter

The bcm43xx-fwcutter will automatically download and install the driver, then you can start the wireless network card in "networking", and HP3202AU wireless network card switch light will also become blue. This only enables wireless NICs. If you want to see the wireless connection status in the notification area, you still need to do some work. Installing Ubuntu on HP3202AU is the same as installing Ubuntu 6.10 On HP3240AU. The sound card still shows the problem of accessing the headset speakers.

The sound card of HP3240 is Conexant, and a newly installed Ubuntu can drive the sound card correctly and the laptop speaker can be voiced (the media shortcut is also supported, and the sound size and mute can be adjusted ), however, you will find that the headset interface is unavailable. If you cannot use the headset, the sound is still from the speaker, but the connected headset has no sound. It was initially thought that the earphone interface was faulty, but there was no problem in using Windows XP on HP3240. The difference between Windows XP and Ubuntu is that Windows XP is installed with an official Conexant driver, while Ubuntu is identified by itself. It is easy to think that the switching from the speaker to the headset interface is not based on hardware, but on software drivers. Therefore, install the Conexant sound card driver for Ubuntu. Google's Conexant official website, found that the official website does not provide drivers For Linux, but carefully browse Google's "Conexant" keyword search results page, the third has a "Linuxant ", it seems that a commercial organization has opened the drive of Conexant open source so that Conexant devices can work well in Linux. In this way, we have a way to solve the problem. Download The Conexant sound card driver provided by Linuxant:

Http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/riptide/archive/cnxtinstall.run

It is recommended that you save it to the main folder for easy operation.

After the download is complete, run sudo/etc/init in the terminal. d/gestation stop (to ensure the smooth installation of hardware devices, we recommend that you exit GNOME desktop, but I do not know if you must exit GNOME desktop to install it, so please do it as appropriate ), then press Ctrl + Alt + F1 (F2 ~ F6 casually) after logging on, execute it in the command line.

Sudo sh cnxtinstall. run (to install this audio card driver, connect to the network)

The sound card driver will automatically connect to the network and download the information required by the local machine. The system will prompt you to select 1 or 2. select the option with the ubuntu character, the program will automatically connect to the network to download the corresponding driver and install it. After installation, press Ctrl + Alt + Del to restart Ubuntu. After restart, the problem that this headset interface cannot be used can be solved.

Note: although the problem can be solved, it may lead to Ubuntu problems and cannot enter X. Therefore, the installation method of the sound card driver may not be the best solution, which should be explained to you.
