To Do

Issues:

  • Issue — No Configuration Editor link in the menu. Must be added by hand?
  • To Do — NFS Server, Remove temporary rules from /etc/exports
  • To Do — Get apt-get log for 1st install.
  • Issue — Known issues documented in Maverick release manifest:
    • Connected DisplayPort monitors may prevent booting. (655795)
    • 802.11n support for the iwlagn driver has been temporarily disabled. Intel is actively working to get this properly fixed up in the firmware. This workaround should be reverted once updated firmware is available. (630748). See also [4], [5] (kernel), Intel WiFi driver for linux.
      • cfr file /etc/modprobe.d/intel-5300-iwlagn-disable11n.conf 
      sudo modprobe -r iwlagn
sudo modprobe iwlagn 11n_disable=1
iwconfig

      We can see that the card doesn't support 11n anymore in kernel log: 

      dmesg | grep -i iwl
# ...
# [13780.264116] iwlagn 0000:44:00.0: Tunable channels: 13 802.11bg, 24 802.11a channels
# ...
  • Issue — [arrandale] Integrated intel graphics GMA HD doesn't work (590504). See also [6]
    • This relates to kernel message at boot: 
    dmesg | grep i915
# ... intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: failed to get i915 symbols, graphics turbo disabled
