http://mybrainrunslinux.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-have-recently-purchased-toshiba.html
Toshiba U300-NS5 on Ubuntu. Monday, February 18, 2008. I have recently purchased a laptop from Toshiba and I absolutely love this thing. The first thing I did was boot into Vista and snoop around. That took about 5 minutes. Then I took my Ubuntu 7.10 cd and layed down a fresh copy of linux on the hard drive. Out of the box the display did not work correctly and the sound was not working at all. Sure enough, this is what I needed. After a reboot everything worked perfectly. My overall views of the Laptop ...

The first step you will have to do is create a text file. Next you can ...

Compiling the linux kernel 2.6.24 in Ubuntu for the intel iwl4965 driver. Saturday, February 23, 2008. I have decided to try to compile my laptop's kernel to the latest 2.6.24 from kernel.org.

MyBrainRunsLinux: Compile mplayer from source in Ubuntu Karmic
http://mybrainrunslinux.blogspot.com/2009/10/compile-mplayer-from-source-in-ubuntu.html
Compile mplayer from source in Ubuntu Karmic. Monday, October 19, 2009. I have had some trouble the last little while with mplayer and mencoder in Karmic (beta). I am not sure if it is the result of mixed repositories or not, but I had to find a solution. I was unable to find a procedure that worked completely. I mixed up what I had read from forums and mplayerhq. I wrote a script to compile mplayer from source and install using "checkinstall". Here is the script. Just save it to your home directory.
