That's fantastic news!!! I found out about your post here from the ubuntu forums - I was the one posting about no audio.

Thanks a lot for writing up how you got it too work - can't wait to give it a try.

One question, though. How are you dealing with the dual intel / nvidia graphic cards. Are you just manually changing your xorg.conf each time, or do you have a script? If so, it would be great if you could share it. I have experience installing linux, compiling the kernel and all that jazz, but absolutely zilch when it comes to writing scripts.

Way to go, and I hope that a linux community builds up around the n10j because at the moment it seems that it's only me, you and that other guy who started the audio problem thread on the ubuntu forum! Sad, really, considering the potential of this device.

Erm, good question, because at this point I have kept to the nvidia gpu alone. I've yet to try and figure out how to tackle this, if anyone has any ideas...

Edit: I thought I should update this post for anyone just joining the thread... Switching between GPUs is covered in Part 2 of the guide.

Since it was not explicitly stated, I will ask. Did you ever get the sound to work properly?

Thanks

Yeah sound works.... it's in my guide above... just need to select Intel HD audio in menuconfig before kernel compilation. See my youtube vid.

I was wondering where you found the Wireless and the PCISound i'm totally lost in the menuconfig

EDIT:
Found lan:
Device Drivers->Network device support->Wireless Lan(selected in rc4 for me)

Found Pci sound:
Device Drivers->Sound Card support->Advanced LinuxSound Architecture->PCI Sound devices(was not selected)

Ah, I'm sorry, I should have specifically mentioned that.

Intel HD audio:
Device Drivers->Sound card support->Advanced Linux Sound Architecture->PCI Sound Devices->Intel HD Audio

Atheros wireless:
Device Drivers->Network device support->Wireless LAN->Atheros 802.11n wireless cards support

I assume you recompiled and installed the nvidia drivers according to the directions. Make sure the switch for the nvidia graphics is physically turned on on the left hand side of the case. If all that is good, your xorg.conf is messed up -- try overwriting it. Try this:

Code:

modprobe nvidia
cd /etc/X11
rm xorg.conf
wget -O xorg.conf http://allurgroceries.is-a-chef.com/public/xorg.conf.txt
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
