Ubuntu 11.04 BETA I Functionality on Dell E1505

Thursday, 14. April 2011

EDIT: 06/22/11. Ubuntu 11.04 has been released and these issues have, for the most part, been fixed.

 

The Dell E1505 can run Ubuntu 11.04 BETA I, but not out of the box.

Users with Broadcom wifi cards are likely to have problems as well as users with nVidia GeForce Go 7300 graphics cards.

Fixes are available for both likely problems.

The problems:
A WiFi device will not be detected
Unity 3D will simply freeze up after login.
