What laptops do users on this list have ubuntu studio running successfully? By successful I mean running jackd and rosegarden and ardour. Specify 32 or 64 bit version of ubuntu studio.
The reason I am asking this is I have a Dell Inspiron 1501, Turion Dual Core 64 bit, 2 GB of RAM. I specifically got this computer for sound and graphics using linux. I should have sent it back when I found that there was a kernel bug which I had a chance to do. I could link a dozen references to this stupid thing that had us Dell 1501 owners installing distros and not being able to get the installation even started without pci=nomsi and a dozen other ineffective kernel parameters. But this thing is essentially useless for Linux sound. Jackd will NOT run. In Fedora, Gentoo, Ubuntu and now Ubuntu Studio, it just essentially won't run. I think it has something to do with the original kernel bug, but I have no way of knowing, because I essentially get non-answers from any of the lists on this. It appears that no one that got a Dell 1501 ever wanted to get any of this working. I have set up working Linux studios on a lot of other hardware and this has never happened. So now I am thinking of selling this stupid thing and cutting my losses and moving on to another pc based laptop that other people are using to run linux sound. So give me some examples of working laptops with ubuntu studio.
