Here’s what didn’t work for me:

8.0.4 or 8.10 Live CD.

On a tip from another board member I tried the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR):
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR

Download iso here:
http://oem-images.canonical.com/unr/

It installs quick and easy except you have non-native video resolution and no 3d acceleration. Don’t get discouraged, it seems to run slow and the video is horrible. It gets better.

Next you need to download these files:

http://e.imagehost.org/download/0337/psb_dri
http://e.imagehost.org/download/0532/Xpsb
http://e.imagehost.org/download/0820/msvdx_fw

Then follow this post on Ubuntuforums to the letter:

Now Ubuntu runs super fast, and I have native resolution at 1280 x 800 and full 3D acceleration!

Thanks to jabronioh, brteag00 and jpph for all their hard work on this. They were the people that figured this out and made it easy for me. I just thought it might help having all the steps gathered in one po

reate a file /etc/apt/preferences and add

Package: xserver-xorg-video-psb
Pin: version 0.15.0-0ubuntu1~804um4
Pin-Priority: 1000

Save the file and run apt-get update & apt-get upgrade then it will downgrade. But i still have a strange behaviour in X, sometimes windows are closing unexpectedly…

I think you’ve still got mismatched driver/binary bits. The working version from the ubuntu-mobile PPA is 0.16.0+repack-0ubuntu1~804um6. You might have to download and install it manually:

brian@pol:~$ wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-mobile/ubuntu/pool/main/x/xserver-xorg-video-psb/xserver-xorg-video-psb_0.16.0+repack-0ubuntu1~804um6_lpia.deb
brian@pol:~$ sudo dpkg -r xserver-xorg-video-psb
brian@pol:~$ sudo dpkg -i xserver-xorg-video-psb_0.16.0+repack-0ubuntu1~804um6_lpia.deb

I’m not familiar with the /etc/apt/preferences trick you use – what I’ve been doing is going into synaptic, selecting that package and hitting “Lock version.” Stops the automatic updates from bugging me about the new release.

I can also confirm that the 0.20.0 version breaks 3D – probably a mismatch with psb_dri.so. Still waiting for Intel to release this stuff for real…

If you are a Debian-based GNU/Linux user, then you’re probably familiar with synaptic and apt-get to install application from software repositories. This post focussed on how to use apt-get/synaptic behind proxy server/firewall which under normal circumstances, you’re unable to use apt-get.

If you’re using Synaptic
Open up your Synaptic package manager (usually as root), go to Settings-> Preference -> Network. Enter your proxy server details like : username:
<!–
var prefix = 'ma' + 'il' + 'to';
var path = 'hr' + 'ef' + '=';
var addy54820 = 'password' + '@';
addy54820 = addy54820 + 'proxyserver' + '.' + 'net';
document.write( '‘ );
document.write( addy54820 );
document.write( ” );
//–>\n password@proxyserver.net
<!–
document.write( '‘ );
//–>
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
<!–
document.write( '’ );
//–>
, and put the proxy server port (usually 8080).

If you’re using command-line apt-get
Edit your /etc/bash.bashrc file as root.

Put these line at the end of your /etc/bash.bashrc file :

export http_proxy=http://username:
<!–
var prefix = 'ma' + 'il' + 'to';
var path = 'hr' + 'ef' + '=';
var addy94195 = 'password' + '@';
addy94195 = addy94195 + 'proxyserver' + '.' + 'net';
document.write( '‘ );
document.write( addy94195 );
document.write( ” );
//–>\n password@proxyserver.net
<!–
document.write( '‘ );
//–>
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
<!–
document.write( '’ );
//–>
:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.netport/
You can omit the username:password, if your proxy server has no password. That’s all for today! Happy apt-get-ing!

1. Insert the Windows  bootable CD into the computer.
2. When prompted to press any key to boot from the CD, press any key.
3. Once in the Windows setup menu press the “R” key to repair Windows.
4. Log into your Windows installation by pressing the “1” key and pressing enter.
5. You will then be prompted for your administrator password, enter that password.
6. Copy the below two files to the root directory of the primary hard disk. In the below example we are copying these files from the CD-ROM drive letter, which in this case is “e.” This letter may be different on your computer.

   copy e:i386 tldr c:
   copy e:i386 tdetect.com c:

    

7. Once both of these files have been successfully copied, remove the CD from the computer and reboot.
