Trusty Installation

SSD

IMPORTANT: concerning overprovisioning

If you like to use overprovisioning with an encrypted system, you have to use the alternate install cd and manually partition your drive.

The standard installation procedure will use the whole disk space. To use overprovisioning leave a few GB space at the end of the ssd.

vim for system edit

sudo apt-get install vim
sudo /etc/vim/vimrc
sudo update-alternatives --config editor

apt-get udate && apt-get dist-upgrade

Ubuntu bugs

apport-collect 1266305
ubuntu-bug package-name

sudo apt-get install python-apport

System

DKMS

apt-get install dkms gparted synaptic

Enable Hibernation

vim /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/com.ubuntu.desktop.pkla

[Re-enable hibernate by default in upower]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.upower.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

[Re-enable hibernate by default in logind]
Identity=unix-user:*
Action=org.freedesktop.login1.hibernate
ResultActive=yes

Special Hardware Configuration

Thinkpad

apt-add-repository ppa:linrunner/thinkpad-extras && \
apt-add-repository ppa:linrunner/tlp && \
apt-get update && \
apt-get install gobi-loader tp-wwan-hotkey tlp tp-smapi-dkms

Edit your

/etc/default/tlp

service tlp restart

Lenovo W510

Install nvidia-driver

https://wiki.blue-it.org/Thinkpad_W510#Operation_System

Error with vdpau:

apt-get install vdpau-va-driver libvdpau1 libvdpau-va-gl1 vainfo vdpauinfo

Gobi 2000

Copy over the following files for your provider (!)

http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Gobi_2000#Firmware

ls /lib/firmware/gobi/

amss.mbn  apps.mbn  UQCN.mbn

Install the gobi-loader package. The gobi-loader is from standard ubuntu repository and not the one of the tlp repositories.

apt-get install gobi-loader

If you have trouble, try the following (requires tlp):

#!/bin/bash
#
echo "Gobi 2000 loader ... start ..."

if LC_ALL=C nmcli -t -f TYPE,STATE dev | grep gsm
then
	echo "start nm wwan ..."
	nmcli -t nm wwan on

	# break

	exit 1

else
	echo "unblock wwan via rfkill ..."
	rfkill unblock wwan

	sleep 1

	exit 1

SSD Trim

Enabled in 14.04 LTS by default !!!

On encrypted systems:

vim /etc/crypttab

sda5_crypt UUID=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX none luks,discard

vim /etc/lvm/lvm.conf +199

issue_discards = 1

Update boot images:

update-initramfs -k all -c

This should be already there on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

vim /etc/cron.weekly/fstrim

#!/bin/sh
# call fstrim-all to trim all mounted file systems which support it
set -e
exec fstrim-all

Reboot and check:

sudo fstrim -v /
