toshiba p100 series dsdt acpi error no sound, works with acpi turned off.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in linux-source-2.6.22.

I have the same problem. Laptop is toshiba p100-429. I upgraded to v3.80 bios, the DSDT supplied by the system now needs no patching to get it to the same state as the guide gets you to, but there is still no sound.

I can confirm this issue.... A bit more info:

Sound was working fine with custom DSDT in Feisty. I done a clean install of Gutsy Tribe 5 and DSDT is in initrd but fails to work (it is being loaded).

Model: Toshiba Satelite p100-PSPA3E (with 2.40 firmware)
http://pastebin.ca/685466 (for output of alsa-info)

Not sure if its ACPI or Alsa issue... i had a quick look thought kernel changelogs but could see anything obvious

I report the same problem.
I've a Toshiba P100-103 PSPA3E with bios 3.30.
With a custom DSDT made from this howto http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/peripherals-hardware/96259-toshiba-p100-series-sound-fix-ubuntu.html
In Feisty works
In Gutsy doesn't works

In Gutsy it only works if i do acpi=off in boot

-

I want to report the same problem with a toshiba PSPA6U-006005.

In feisty sound worked like a charm after fixing the DSDT, but now it seems to be gutsy's kernel problem.

I would like to report the same issue on a Toshiba P105-S6192. I had the sound working under both edgy and feisty with the dsdt fix, but with gutsy, it only works with acpi off. If you need anything from me, please let me know.

I can confirm this with the latest kernel in gutsy, not sure if it worked on feisty (I only installed gutsy on this one).
Does anyone know if a fix may enter gutsy before the final release ?

i have a toshiba p100-106 bought on greece i have the same problem..
the weird thing is that sound works in suse 10.3 .. but i don't like the distro..
something must be done about this

Upgraded to 2.6.22-13-generic, confirm still no sound unless I use acpi=off. The custom DSDT works under feisty.

I just upgraded to 2.6.22-14-generic and I can confirm there is still no sound with or without custom DSDT.
I konw there is a workaround, and I would be very nice if (even when I know this will be fixed soon) someone explain us noobs how to get this patch working.

I'm in the same boat as you. I've never seen the DSDT workaround actually
work. I've created a new DSDT.dsl file by:

   - extracting and reverse engineering the original DSDT.dsl from the
   bios
   - changing variables that look like _T_0 to T_0
   - changing some strings that look like "*PNP0C14" to "PNP0C14"
   - and editing the all important "Linux" section to look like the
   snippet below (other people have modified their .dsl slightly differently,
   but this approach looks the safest to me).
   - then I create a new DSDT.aml file (iasl -tc DSDT.dsl)
   - I copy the file over to the initial ramfs location (cp
DSDT.aml/etc/initramfs-tools/)
   - and create a new ram disk (mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-
   2.6.22-13-generic)

The kernel log says it loads the DSDT.aml file when I reboot, but the sound
doesn't work. Apparantly this workaround used to work in Fiesty Fawn. I was
on FF and the workaround didn't work for me. When I tried asking about it
(and created a bug) I was told I had to be on GG to report this bug. I
switched, and found that we're all experiencing this problem. I don't know
when FF stopped working - some people have reported that the fix used to
work. I should also say that I have BIOS 4.0 for the laptop (I upgraded
recently).

So, if you want sound, you can boot your laptop by adding "acpi=off" at the
end of the kernal options in GRUB (just press E to edit on next reboot to
try it temporarily). BUT, when ACPI is off, it can lead to things like your
CPU overheating I am told. I think this can wreck your hardware. My machine
froze after a while.

I'm just waiting (more like praying) for a FIX. PLEASE PLEASE.... I want
SOUND!!

I would even pay money for the fix.

Enough of my rant. (Probably more than you needed to know)

Yes. you have made the correct changes.

I hope a soon fix for this. I can't live without audio and I'll never boot with aCPI=off

Cheers

For whoever picks up this bug to work on, it might be helpful to look at how the latest Mandriva manages this, as it uses the same kernel version as gutsy but enables the sound with acpi on.

Well, I was in the forum for around 4 hours and have found same fixes as here and the dupllicate, except for this htat did not work for me:
/etc/modprbe.d/alsa-base
options snd-card-0 enable=1 index=0 model=basic
options snd-hda-intel enable=1 index=0 model=intel
options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1

Can u pls point us in the right direction?

Cheers

Luis

gutsy final released and this bug is not fixed. but it works on mandriva and opensuse.
i am moving to mandriva. and i hope this is fixed anytime soon.

Mandriva will not even boot on mine (p105-s921)
openSuse works but with with custom DSDT.aml :).
I've read in mandriva forums that this issue is fixed, and you must not even use a custom dsdt file but there is no chance I canget to the desktop...
HOwever I'm asking for help now... if this works... then goodbie gutsy
cheers
Luis

hello :)

With the last feisty kernel and a custom dsdt I have sound under Gutsy ... (I' v modified the sources.list to install it).

I hope that this issue will corrected soon ;)

Louis, and how do we do that?

That's "regression". Not a solution nor a workaround. We need to use our custom DSDT.aml/hex file (devels must modify the kernel to acept custom dsdt) or to FIX this bug, or ... just pick another distro :(

@jmachado: There is a howto in ubuntuforums for this regression

Same problem here, with a Toshiba Satellite P100-313 and BIOS 2.40 (I still found no reason why upgrading to 3.00 - "Vista Compatibilty" doesn't count :-p)

It is really embarrassing - another new Ubuntu, more not working hardware again :-(

Oh, and btw. after following the upgrade instrutions to Gutsy I had no GUI (it somehow kicked the nvidia-glx package) and now the X server doesn't regocnize /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libglx.so, so I don't have any GLX...

Shame on the Gibbon! It took me my sound and my light!!

OMG! if you are still using gusty, check your GPU temp with nvidia-settings
Mine was at 108 degres celsius. 155 it's shutdown temp.
This topic should be critical, it's not only about sound but about GPU fan too.
Gusty the toshiba P100 toaster

oups 115 for shutdown

On the gentoo wiki, I' ve found about sound on the p100 ( http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Toshiba_Satellite_P100#Audio )

"As of September 2007 the necessary components to provide out of the box sound support are in place. You will require the following software:

    * Laptop BIOS flashed to version 3.80 or later
    * Kernel 2.6.22 or later
    * ALSA-driver 1.0.14 or later

Build the kernel with modular sound support, but no OSS or ALSA support. Emerge the alsa-driver and alsa-utils packages (remember to place ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" in your /etc/make.conf before doing so), use alsaconf to set up the sound card and then start the ALSA service. You should now have working sound. "

Hope it' s helps ...

Louis - if you've got a workaround - please provide precise details for
those waiting with baited breath :)

You got sound working - how did you do it?

Which Toshiba do you have? Which version of the bios? What did your DSDT
changes look like? Which version of the kernel? Etc? Anything special for
the version of ALSA that you describe?

I think we've all followed about 100 "howto's" and "fixes" with a lot of
frustration. If you can make it happen - please do share!!

Thanks,

R.

I've installed Mandriva 2008.0 (free) and the way I solved it in mandriva was to add
acpi_osi=!Linux
at kernel boot time
I don't know if this will work in ubuntu but you do not loose anything trying except time
Good luck
Luis

I've forgotten the link where I asked for help and solved the problem myself
here it is
http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?p=386673#386673
Cheers

Luis, the point is to stick with ubuntu .

i got it working with feisty a while ago by doing that DSDT.aml edit thing
on the gentoo forums (not the wiki link). from the looks of it we have to
make a DSDT.aml for each model in the series. there even is a site that
keeps track of them , so if you make one then you can submit it there for
other people.
it requires you to rename some variables in a file , not all the edit
instructions worked for me, i started removing edits untill i found the ones
causing the problem. tried to get it perfect but failed. after renaming the
variables you need to compile it. i found the instructions were really easy.
i think 3 commands or so.
It finally ran with acpi=on (that means battery stuff works), my sound is
working (no volume problems, no hda-intel stuff needed) and cpu fan works,
but when i do 3d stuff then the lappy crashes after a while and gets very
very hot. (gpu fan not running? no compiz, no games like wow. at least not
longer than +-20min ) another thing that is a problem is the +-20s delady
on bootup while giving some pci error. one of the newer ubuntu kernerls
makes the delay less but not the error.

I have not tried again and i have not updated to the 4.0 firmware in case it
gets worse like it did with this dreaded 3.0 ( vista ready ) update .

does gutsy still have this problem? anyone?

@steampunk
What you are saying was already discussed above. I guess almost everyone here has got it working with feisty. Feisty is NOT the problem, the problem is GUTSY.
For some reason gutsy does NOT accept the DSDT.aml file in intramfs, or MAYBE I don't know how to do it the right way. I've installed Feisty on around 6 toshibas with the same problem with with no single issue, but again... that is FEISTY.
I 'm NOT telling anyone to leave ubuntu, ... ubuntu is the distro I love most, but FACTS are FACTS and sound does not work in Gutsy.
I invite you to read a little since the begining of this bug.. some people has been able to have sound doing some hacks but with an earlier kernel, but some of us were not so lucky.
When you upgrade to gutsy, then you can give us some feed back, in the mean time... I'll continue shouting about a fix to this issue.
Kind Regards
Luis

@Luis

Gutsy seems to accept the patched DSDT in the initram. You can simply check this by running the patched version and do a cat /proc/acpi/dsdt > dsdt.dat, iasl -d dsdt.dat (which we all love ;-)
And of course the size of /boot/initrd.img-2.6.22-... changes

I switched back to the feisty kernel 2.6.20-16-generic as recommended before.

Better hardware support should be way more important to Ubuntu. The distro can be easiest-to-use and shiny as gold, but no one would use it if it runs just crippled (or perform serious hacks as we all did - no greenhorn can do this, and me don't want it)

tried the "add acpi_osi=!Linux to boot options" but it didn't worked for me. Still BIOS v2.40
Oh btw dmesg says the following interesting things (out of my brain memory):

- DSDT successfully loaded
- ACPI: OSI not use Linux
- ACPI: Toshiba satellite detected, so we don't need this OSI stuff....

Some freak here who wants to check the kernel ACPI/DSDT changes from 2.6.20 to 2.6.22 in Ubuntu? I guess that's the only way to solve our problem.
Greetings,
alphablue52

Hello guys, I'm from #134734. Well after reading your comments, I think you're wrong when some of you are saying that the DSDT doesn't get loaded. The dmesg says it was and as said before, if you disassemble the current DSDT, you're getting your modified version. So here the problem is not.

According to some people, the new version of the kernel doesn't ship with hda intel as part of the kernel but is kind of "separated" (maybe in linux-ubuntu-modules?) and this seems to be our problem.

Anyway, what's fun is I reverted my DSDT today (deleted DSDT file in /etc/initramfs-tools/) and added a boot option with acpi=off (acpi_osi=!Linux seems anyway useless, my dmesg reports that "_OSI(Linux) has" already "been disabled" because it detected a Toshiba P100) and sound works (yeah no surprise) but I also noticed that the supplementary errors lots of us get since Gutsy at boot-time about are also gone :

(these ones)
[ 28.596140] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0
[ 28.596233] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0
[ 28.596319] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.0
[ 28.596403] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
[ 28.596489] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
[ 28.596576] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.1
[ 28.596660] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 7 of bridge 0000:00:1c.2
[ 28.596745] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 8 of bridge 0000:00:1c.2
[ 28.596831] PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 9 of bridge 0000:00:1c.2

So there is definitly a problem with memory allocation and PCI and it might explain why sound can't work on our machines... maybe?

If only some expert could come across this bug!

I suggest we total the amount of $$ we are willing to pay to the person who
fixes this bug.

I'm in for $50 CDN !!

I think we have enough people to make this bugfix worthwhile to someone.

@alphablue
Yes, you're right!!!
I'd noticed that the DSDT.aml was detected at boot time but assumed that it was not being (sort of) recognized.
My workaround in mandriva was made winth NO custom DSDT.aml file just FYI. And I've tried with the Gutsy LiveCD with no avail also.
Now, according to kernel.org mailing lists (saw it somewhere) this is already fixed in kernel 2.6.22.9 (I guess) but you must upgrade to BIOS v3.80 or later.
I will install Gutsy again and will make 2 changes in the kernel command line (NO acpi=off) without installing my custom DSDT.aml. I'll even brake my lsystem if necessary with all the fixes suggested above by Bernardo and some other guy. If this does not work, I'll just wipe Gutsy and remain with Suse and /or Mandriva

@ellisèe
I definitely agree with you in the memory issue!!!! But as said before, I'll never boot ACPI=off as this laptop is what it is.... a laptop not a desktop.I need to know my battery stats and to preserve it always cool.

The more we bitch out the more attention we get from devels :)

Bug confirmed here as well; running a Toshiba P105-S6147. Some of you are probably running the DSDT that I built and posted to http://uncensored.citadel.org/pub/linux/dsdt-p105-s6147.tar.gz earlier this year. That was built and installed under Feisty and it worked perfectly. I upgraded to Gutsy today and even though the DSDT loads, there is still no sound. Disabling ACPI using acpi=off works fine, of course, but that's a dangerous and undesirable workaround. For now I am circumventing the problem by staying on the 2.6.20 kernel that shipped with Feisty, but I'd like to see this bug fixed as well.

hi guys,
same here. i have a toshiba equium a100-549 and just upgraded to gutsy. sound was working on feisty out of the box. now im using the old kernel 2.6.20 if i want to make some noisy.

apt-get install linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.22-14-386
fixed it for me.

@flashydave & nyolcx8
Hi, can you give us the result of this command "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#0 | grep Codec"
For me, it's : "Codec: Conexant CX20549 (Venice)"
Thank you.

In attachment dmesg of Mandriva 2008.0 and dmesg of Ubuntu 7.10 on a Toshiba P100-474.

I want to thanks everyone here for all their input. After 6 months owning a Toshiba P105-S9337, I finally have everything working properly with the current Kubuntu Gutsy Gibbin v7.10; sound, acpi and nvidia drivers!

The process was:
1. Update my bios to v4.2
2. Download a kernel fix from http://fragglenet.com/tools/toshiba_dsdt_kernel_fix.2.6.22-14_2007111300.tar.gz
3. Fix dsdt for nvidia temperature using instructions at http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=477653
4. Open Terminal and enter these commands:
* tar xvf toshiba_dsdt_kernel_fix.2.6.22-14_2007111300.tar.gz
* cd toshiba_dsdt_kernel_fix.2.6.22-14_2007111300/
* dpkg -i *.deb
5. Reboot computer and enjoy.
6. Use "Envy" from http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html to configure the latest Nvidia drivers for this computer

That's it.

I tried this, but I must have done something wrong or it doesn't work for my computer. Or, do I have to follow step 6 and use "envy" before the sound can work at all, or is it just to configure the already-working sound? Either way, for now this is unconfirmed on the P100-JR5.

Hi,
I tested Hardy Alpha 2 LiveCD today (kernel 2.6.24-2-generic): sound & acpi works out-of-the-box! No idea what about the nvidia temp issue because no nvidia driver on the CD (and no time for playing around ;-)

Cheers
Torsten

P.S. apt kernel updates suck! I removed my dsdt files but the updates regenerate ALL initramfs... And I cannot remove the gutsy kernel without broken deps. so my old feisty patched initramfs was also replaced

I ve just tried the 2.6.24-2-generic kernel in linux mint.Although the sound works out of the box, gpu seems to get hotter and hotter even with the custom dsdt file.With the patched 2.6.22 kernel and the custom dsdt file the temp issue was fixed but now here it goes again...

Sound works out of the box with Gutsy and the Hardy (2.6.24-2) kernel. Not sure about the nvidia heat problem but it does feel a little hot. My machine is a toshiba satellite p105-s9773.

That is fresh from the Toshiba Linux User Mailing List:

--
I have a Satellite P100-126 (PSPAG) with known problems of GPU fan and
sound.
I have tried to use a custom DSDT but without any improvement.

Looking for a solution I have found this kernel parameter: pci=usepirqmask
Using this I have solved the problems without turning off the acpi.

BIOS 4.0, Fedora 8, kernel 2.6.23.9, alsa driver 1.0.15.

I hope can be useful to someone.
--

Can someone test this parameter with a sane 2.6.24-2 hardy kernel?

Is that a fix for the problem with or without the custom DSDT?

question everyone, I upgraded to hardy, and yes, the sound works, however,
there is a lot of noise in the background whenever i try to play any music.
It's like an improperly tuned tv station.

Hello everyone. I am a user of a Toshiba p105 and not surprisingly I have the same problem as you. I wanted to ask, as a beginner, if any of you know if the sound you get from Ubuntu Hardy Heron out of the box is due to the specific changes made in the new kernel, or is due to the use of PulseAudio as audio server. Thanks.

I don't know for certain, but i believe it was fixed in the kernel.

I have not been around here for a while and still dont have sound. It looks like hardy will be good to go...when is the release date?

It's not scheduled for full release until April, but I've been using hardy
since november, and it's working well for me.

For the most part, just the regular, surfing email im, ssh, ftp, games,
openoffice. It works pretty well. No huge bugs that make me made.
Occasionally vmware will cause the terminal to freeze, but aside from that,
no real problems.

just a quick question...

I have a separate /home partition, can i just install hardy and mount
my current /home partition as its /home and it will work ok? I have
never upgraded with a separate home...just re-installed the same
version countless times

yeah, you might have to turn your pcm volume down, because when i first
upgraded, it sounded horrible, but it works right out of the box.

hardy is still under development this release will be extra stable.
anyway i really like fedora and i'll try to make a switch

"im not being "wierd". I was making a simple statement....everyone
knows it is in alpha and now im happy to know you are aware too lol.
but as for "extra stable"right.....you know this how? i would say they
claim every version is extra stable they are not going to say "hardy,
almost as stable as gusty".... but anyways..id ont really care what
the final of hardy is like....im tired of ubuntu not keeping up with
other dstros in the hard ware part of things so im saying "peace".
once again not bitching just stating...hope im not to "wierd" whatever
the hell that means.

I am new here but have been tracking this bug for months now.

I have hardy alpha 5 and sound works great out of speakers, but like many others here I have nothing with the headphones. However I discovered that if I insert the headphone jack to a certain specific point (not all the way in, just slightly more than halfway) I can get normal sound. Obviously this is not practical, but interesting nonetheless.

I am a newb about audio hardware. What would cause this?

im not an expert but that sounds like a headphone jack problem...does
it wokr ok in other os's?

Yes my headphones and microphone do in fact work in Vista. Also, not surprisingly, the mic does not work either.

Weird issue going on here.

Hi All,

After having read though many of the comments here it seems that the original issue of sound not working has been resolved with the Hardy Alpha release. As a result I'm going to close this report. If you are experiencing new issues such as headphones or microphones not working please open a new bug report noting the specific hardware you are on. It is helpful to the development teams if bug reports target one specific issue against a specific set of hardware. Thanks.

yeah right... "fix released" good job devs! LOL

Two new sentences I've learned today...

"Extra Stable release".. and Status: Incomplete => Fix Release ...LOL

PS.. not even "pure" Debian or Fedora, Mandriva, Suse are Extra Stable. and
I have the same issue with Alpha 5 with the jack connector... this is
incredible but I was assuming this was a hardware problem but it's only
happening with ubuntu.

mandriva, gentoo, centos, and many more are great options. I always
say im going to switch but for some dumb reason i come back to ubuntu.
im testing alpha 6 in the morning...maybe it will be better (doubt
it). also im not to keen on this new authentication process thing in
hardy...like i said before it feels like user account control on
vista.

Luis, you have been in this bug report since the start. are you as
disappointed as i am in how this got treated? im not saying we are
more important than anyone else...but come on...a little help from the
devs would at least show they give a shit about their users.

Hi Nathan...
Personally I've switched to Mandriva 2008.1 (cooker) the development branch.
I really love this distribution and it's almost sure that I will not change
it anymore (unless ubuntu comes with something very very decent IMHO).
However, Ubuntu for me is like my mother and father, I alwasy come to it
:).. I can hate it sometimes but I love it so much... I have 10 GB of my HD
just for testing one distro at a time.. in this momment I have Ubuntu and
I'm kind of happy (just sort of) but I think the Devs are not getting
motivated by us (toshiba users).
If I'm disapointed?... Yes, of course!!! You wouldn't believe I'm still
using dapper in 2 machines 'cause edgy and feisty don't like those boxes...
but that's not a real problem because dapper is a LTS distro and I will
stick to it until it's dead..
if Hardy is going to be LTS (which I believe it will) and if this distro
likes my machines... I WILL install it on'em (off course)... and will
continue in ubuntu forums, even if I don't use it, .. that does not mean I
don't like it.. I will continue promoting it... it's a fantastic
distro...and the most important thing... if Toshiba continues with their
"Only M$ Softwre" Policy.... then my next laptop will be a Lenovo or Asus
... then I can play with 3 or 4 distros at the same time...
I do not think that Devs give a damn about us... what I think is that they
don't use toshiba laptops... and in the other hand... 6 months from one
release to rnext one, seems to be too much for them... I know that the
technology is running very quick, but still I think they can implemnt new
changes in the same distro.... for me.. they simply go too fast that they
don't have time to release a "stable" version.. At least since 5.04, which
MO has been a very stable release, I've not seen something better.

Cheers

Luis

PS.. Devs, there is nothing personal against you, in fact I have a lot of
respect for your work

Yes of course I have respect for the devs work as well, i just think
that the time they spend working need to be better organized or the
development/bug teams need better organized.

I too am running Mandriva 2008 on note toshiba, it is a great distro
and only has a few things im not fond of. I built a new intel quad
core and am running gusty on here, everything works fine with the MSI
P35Neo2, ati card and the quad. I am about to try alpha six on the
Toshiba, I hope it works but i still think I may stay with mandriva at
least until hardy is a few months old and some bug are worked out of
it (we all know there will be bugs, let just hope they get them fixed
this time).

I think you could be right, none of the devs use Toshiba notebooks.
But honestly Toshiba notebooks are some of the most common laptops on
the market so they really should find someone to help test :)

Asus notebooks are great, i almost bought one a few months ago. They
make one (not sure the model) that has 2 separate HDD's totaling
320GB. The one thing i would watch out for is all the dolby
stuff...that is sure to cause problems with driver support (i would
think). Another option you have is an MSI notebook....these are sweet!
i would love to have one. Toshiba as far as i know has no plans on
supporting anything linux in the future, they are a "windows only"
company just like you already know. When i bought my notebook I didnt
really have the intention of running linux on it, even though I
already did on my desktop. I would suggest to anyone that is buying a
laptop for linux use NOT to buy Toshiba and if you have a shiny new
one try to sell it and get something better. Ill tell everyone right
now that a company that does not "support it users" (running what OS
they want) i will and no one else should support. On top of this I
have had really big problems with Toshiba customer support...i just
really dont like this company and dont plan on buying anything from
them ever again...just how i feel though.

sorry to bitch and ramble, i have to do it somewhere :)

cheers,

nate :)

@Devs... sorry for finding this place an atractive and "warm" site to post
comments not straight related to the bug, but to Toshiba users, and thanks a
lot for not bitching us out and supporting all our personal and; sometimes,
off topic remarks.
Saiid that....

@Nate.... Thanks a lot for sharing your comments.

I could never agree more...

This is our feeling, but sure they are organized (their own way off course).
We are just a minority of laptop users and just remember that they pay more
attention (and concern) to the certified laptops . And I only know about
some Dell, Lenovo and Asus models. Toshiba itself, has granted us this
situation.

I did'nt mention but I also have gutsy and feisty installed on 2 boxes in my
office and they are running fine, but as u said, a few months later after
hardy is sort'a stable they will be upgraded, I will not run any risk 'cause
they have a tough charge of work in my office
AS I said, I'm running mandriva 2008.1 on my laptop, Mandriva seems to like
Toshiba laptops a lot. With the new 2.6.24 kernel, I don't need to boot with
the "acpi_osi=!LInux" parameter, my GPU is very cold. I must say that I have
some minor issues with my nvidia GC after the last update but I believe this
will be fixed some time before the final release if not before RC2 (this is
one thing I like from mandriva devs) I believe some of them are using
Toshiba laptops 'case they tend to be very fast to fix toshiba related bugs.
This release is very stable I must say, minor issues like the amsn mic
cannot be configured but this is not such a deal. the 18 th of this month
RC2 will be available, I suggest u to try it and use the powerpack theme, it
is so beautifull that people here in my office is requesting me to move to
mandriva ;=), oh and the fonts.. sharp and nice when you select the Subpixel
LCD and light parameter in the fonts setting tab. u don't need to do anymore

Not only mmost of the common, but have been sharing the firs sales positions
for more than a decade :).

Has anyone posted a bug for the no sound through the headphones? If you have could you put the link up here Thanks

I posted a bug report concerning the absence of sound via headphones.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/218817

I have never had sound working out of the box on Hardy. Even though everyone else has had success with this issue, it is unconfirmed on the p100-jr5.

Happy to report that the headphone jack now works just fine on my Toshi. Was fixed in Intrepid and remains working in Jaunty. It should be noted that those of you who were experiencing the problem weren't actually getting "no sound" from the jack, but instead the output was set to digital (spdif) when it should have been analog. Weird, huh? It's kind of cool that Toshi gives you a jack that can output in either format but I don't think there's a proper way to control it from Linux. In any case my headphones are working fine now. In fact, I'm using both the audio in and out with Rakarrack to use my Toshi as an effects board for my electric guitar. Rock on with Ubuntu!
