Hi, I have been able to solve these issues recently on a VPCZ115FC with a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 and following steps (guess it the same for kubuntu):
- Install Ubuntu with nomodeset option and with the Speed mode selected. - download the daily ubuntu kernel, mine is: "http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/2010-12-31-natty/"; - Do the tips from following website: "http://hawkcode.blogspot.com/2010/06/vpcz11z9e-on-ubuntu-lucid-lynx-9.html"; to add the etc/pm/config.d/default file and content and install "uswsusp". - add following repository "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:-x-swat/x-updates" to get latest nvidia drivers, then install nvidia-current - add following repository "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brian-rogers/power". Will fix the gnome manager issue only showing "Estimating". Microphone is working by default with this kernel, just needed to unmute through the sound preferences. Regards, Cedric
