I recently installed the Ubuntu 11.04 GNU/Linux distribution on my Asus F3JM laptop, via the Wubi installer.
There is an on/off switch on the front of the laptop that must be in the "on" position, or else the operating system cannot access the wireless chip.
I use a D-Link WBR-2310 router. I set an SSID, I chose "Enable WPA2-Auto Wireless Security (enhanced)" as the security mode, and I set a passphrase.
For better bandwidth, I use wireless channel 11 instead of 1 (under Wireless Settings).
I edited the wireless connection through the Network Manager. I chose "Connection automatically", the set the SSID under the Wireless tab. Under the "Wireless Security" tab, I chose "WPA & WPA2 Personal". I specified the same passphrase as on the router. In IPv4 Settings, I chose Automatic (DHCP).
I edited /usr/share/gdm/gdm.schemas, searched for the DisallowTCP section, and changed false to true, then logged out and back in.
I wanted to run Firefox on my main PC, whose address was 192.168.0.2,
while the laptop was 192.168.0.130.
So I gave the command
xhost +192.168.0.2
on the laptop.
On the PC, I did
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.130:0
then firefox.
The swap space established by the Wubi installer was too small (256 megabytes). I used this procedure to increase it to 2 gigabytes.
Despite increasing the swap space to 2 GB (the laptop has 1 GB of RAM), hibernation still fails, with the message swap header not found. I have not found a solution to this problem, which should have been solved by the installer.
Go to System > Preferences > Sound, choose the Input tab, and select Front Microphone as the connector. Raise the volume to the maximum. Uncheck the Mute checkbox.
The webcam worked immediately after I installed and opened
the Camorama application, which can be installed with
apt-get install camorama.
