The sound hardware is not supported well thus the microphone issue, I had lots of problems with the hardware and drivers with this machine and it sounds like you had issues also. This is just not a good machine for Linux, maybe someone will fix the drivers and it will work but as I write this it is not.The Dark side of Linuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888241746637372197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211220409054745817.post-19681993596941362282010-11-04T00:01:42.486-07:002010-11-04T00:01:42.486-07:00Installed Ubuntu out of the box and it worked well...Installed Ubuntu out of the box and it worked well, except for being unable to find the microphone (hence, no Skype). No problem with wireless. Yes, toshibas overheat but that's not an OS_specific problem. Same with the touchpad: I find it to be too sensitive, and prone to malfunction when any torque is applied near the front of the laptop, but again that's not an OS problem. Biggest gripe with Ubuntu is that the machine will spontaneously freeze -- not a software problem AFAIK, more like drivers? (Net search suggests there is a bug in its polling of devices.)daverusinhttp://math.niu.edu/~rusinnoreply@blogger.com
