According to my calendar this coming Sunday is the third one in November,
so there should be a clinic scheduled. I'd like the latest Xubuntu to
install on a Toshiba portable. Will this be possible Sunday?

It certainly will, God willing and the creek don't rise.

I have Xubuntu 12.10 in 32- and 64-bit ISOs, waiting to burn for you.

   It's supposed to rain Saturday so the cricks may well rise. But, Free

My point exactly.  What month is it?  What year is it?  I can't
remember.  Show up at for the Clinic and find out!

To assist the memory functions there will be coffee. I have acquired a
new coffee maker for the Clinic. This one is stainless steel, including
the pot. And the filters that we already have will fit it.

Re: [PLUG] Clinic this Sunday?

[wes]

it's the third sunday of each month, and yes, that includes this coming
sunday.

no notice is needed, just show up between 1 and 5 and wait for the next
available volunteer to help you out.

however, info about the laptop might be helpful to someone so we can look up
the particular challenges involved with installing linux on it, and perhaps
prepare to meet them.

Thanks, Wes.  I should have been clearer:  I meant I want to provide the 
agency for which I volunteer with notice that I won't be coming in this 
Sunday, if that's when the Clinic is happening (in case they can find 
someone to pinch-hit for me).

The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L505 with a 2.2GHz Intel Pentium Dual 
Core T4400 processor, 3GB RAM, a Realtek Wireless LAN NIC (which I think 
can be a problem).  I haven't spent as much time searching as I wanted 
to, but there seem to have been a lot of ACPI issues, which may have 
been solved (or partially solved) with a recent kernel.  I have found 
various problem reports and some suggested fixes for similar machines 
(in the L505 family) on Ubuntu and Arch Linux forums, but it's hard to 
get an accurate sense of the timing (i.e., does a problem and attendant 
fix that was reported six months ago still apply now?).

The exact model is L505-ES5018, as reviewed by CNET here:
http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/toshiba-satellite-l505-es5018/4505-3121_7-33970179.html#reviewPage1
 


I needed a sub-$500 notebook really quickly (as in, buy at retail) -- 
AFAIK, it's just not possible to get a Linux notebook for that price in 
Portland, unless maybe you get really lucky at Free Geek.

Indeed, there is a Clinic tomorrow.

I regret the failure to announce earlier. My excuse is that I have been
swamped with a construction project. But I will be there.
