Snappy Placeholder's Taco Bonanza!

For help with the Poulsbo (PSB) video chipset used in the Dell Mini 10 check here.

Setting up a Dell Mini 10 (1010, not 10v) with Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
Lines meant to be run at the terminal are in italics.

• Used unetbootin to push the i686 iso image to a thumbdrive and set the boot order to allow USB boot.
• Booted into the live environment and installed using the desktop shortcut, repartiioning, creating a 2gb of swap partition.

Getting Wifi Working

• Install dkms_2.1.0.1-0ubuntu_all.deb from ../pool/main/d/dkms on the USB drive or CD.
• Install bcmwl-kernel-source_5.10.91.9+bdcom-0ubuntu4_i386.deb from ../pool/restricted/b/bcmwl on the USB drive or CD.
• Find an ethernet connection (a bit of a pain)
• sudo apt-get update
• Install all the updates
• sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev
• sudo dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-kernel-source
• sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl
• sudo modprobe wl
• Using System -> Administration -> Hardware drivers: Activate the "Broadcom STA wireless driver" (should activate)

Getting Video Working

• sudo wget http://gma500re.altervista.org/scripts/poulsbo.sh
  • I also have a copy of this script hosted here.
• sh ./poulsbo.sh
• Reboot

Getting Sound Working (cuts out after a few minutes or fails entirely otherwise)

• sudo apt-get purge pulseaudio
• sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
• delete the last line: options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N
• add this line: options snd-hda-intel model=dell
• Save the file and reboot

At this time the LCD brightness controls still don't work, due to the fact that the files utilized by the hardware abstraction layer changed. Still looking into a fix and will update if I find one.
