<br>
<br>1. Download
<br>http://www.dahetral.com/public-download/psmouse-alps-dst-1.1.tbz/view
<br>
<br>2. Unpack in /
<br>
<br>3. Execute ./alps.sh dkms_build_alp in /usr/src/psmouse-alps-dst-1.1
<br>
<br>This will install a dkms controlled module.LarkinRe: Installation of Ubuntu Linux (12.04 Precise Pangolin) on a Dell Latitude E6530tag:xavier.robin.name,2012-07-28:/blog/2012/07/28/installation-of-ubuntu-linux-12.04-precise-pangolin-on-a-dell-latitude-e6530#comment6392012-12-01T16:03:54+01:002012-12-01T16:03:54+01:00I will venture to give you a tentative answer (not backed-up with any data). The i7-3720QM dissipates 45W at full charge (according to Intel). The i5s (and 2 cores i7-3520M) available on the E6530 all dissipate 35W only. This could make a small difference on the heat and noise.
<br>
<br>Notable also is the nvidia graphic card. I couldn't find exact figures, but it probably takes (and dissipates) 15-20W. If you're concerned by the heat and noise this is something to take into account too.
<br>
<br>I should finally note that I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 with kernel 3.5, and the laptop runs noticeably cooler on light usage/idle.Xavierhttp://xavier.robin.name/Re: Installation of Ubuntu Linux (12.04 Precise Pangolin) on a Dell Latitude E6530tag:xavier.robin.name,2012-07-28:/blog/2012/07/28/installation-of-ubuntu-linux-12.04-precise-pangolin-on-a-dell-latitude-e6530#comment6382012-12-01T15:19:15+01:002012-12-01T15:19:15+01:00Hi hokkenek, i am interesting to buy this Dell laptop, i5 dual core processor like yours, i have one question, do you have the same problems whith noise and fan like quad core version?khelidanRe: Installation of Ubuntu Linux (12.04 Precise Pangolin) on a Dell Latitude E6530tag:xavier.robin.name,2012-07-28:/blog/2012/07/28/installation-of-ubuntu-linux-12.04-precise-pangolin-on-a-dell-latitude-e6530#comment6362012-12-01T14:53:49+01:002012-12-01T14:53:49+01:00Hi Stefaan,
<br>
<br>If Optimus is enabled, open the monitor preferences (type it in the dash) and select your screen options there (works only with VGA).
<br>
<br>If you disabled Optimus and installed Nvidia non-free drivers, install nvidia-settings and configure your monitors from there (AFAIK it is the only way to get HDMI work).
<br>
<br>I still haven't tested docking stations unfortunately. Reading from the internet, it appears USB docking stations usually don't work very well with Linux. Dell's E-Port should be easier to setup.Xavierhttp://xavier.robin.name/Re: Installation of Ubuntu Linux (12.04 Precise Pangolin) on a Dell Latitude E6530tag:xavier.robin.name,2012-07-28:/blog/2012/07/28/installation-of-ubuntu-linux-12.04-precise-pangolin-on-a-dell-latitude-e6530#comment6342012-11-30T10:43:43+01:002012-11-30T10:43:43+01:00Does not work in ubuntu with external monitor and neither with docking station (with or without NVidea Optimus)StefaanRe: Installation of Ubuntu Linux (12.04 Precise Pangolin) on a Dell Latitude E6530tag:xavier.robin.name,2012-07-28:/blog/2012/07/28/installation-of-ubuntu-linux-12.04-precise-pangolin-on-a-dell-latitude-e6530#comment6002012-11-13T19:09:51+01:002012-11-13T19:09:51+01:00Hi John,

<br>
<br>Thanks for your quick response!
<br>Unfortunately none of your advice helped.
<br>My laptop never comes up, so I was sent it back to the service station. Now I'm waiting for it. Anyway, your review is great, and very helpful!hokkenekRe: Installation of Ubuntu Linux (12.04 Precise Pangolin) on a Dell Latitude E6530tag:xavier.robin.name,2012-07-28:/blog/2012/07/28/installation-of-ubuntu-linux-12.04-precise-pangolin-on-a-dell-latitude-e6530#comment5812012-10-27T15:02:37+02:002012-10-27T15:02:37+02:00Hi hokkenek,
<br>
<br>It happened a few times to me. In such cases, restarting X solved the issue (see <a href="http://www.pcurtis.com/ubuntu-unity.htm#ctrl_alt_backspace">how to enable it</a>).
<br>
<br>Another problem is that when you wake it up, if a certain time passed, it will switch to hibernate mode. In such occurrence, the screen stays black with the keyboard lit and fans running exactly as you describe, until the computer shuts down. This can take some time (it needs to write the memory to disk). I haven't found how to fix this yet (not researched too much either).
<br>
<br>However these problems are rather exceptional. If your computer never comes up, even if you wait enough to make sure it isn't entering hibernate mode, then it may mean you have a problem with your laptop. I hope it isn't the case!
<br>
<br>Best wishes,
<br>XavierXavierhttp://xavier.robin.name/Re: Installation of Ubuntu Linux (12.04 Precise Pangolin) on a Dell Latitude E6530tag:xavier.robin.name,2012-07-28:/blog/2012/07/28/installation-of-ubuntu-linux-12.04-precise-pangolin-on-a-dell-latitude-e6530#comment5792012-10-27T10:28:31+02:002012-10-27T10:28:31+02:00Hi Xavier,
<br>
<br>I have the same E6530 like yours, except the CPU (mine is i5). I have an annoying problem. When I close the display, the operating system is turned to sleep mode, thats fine, but when i open it againg, the display doesn't work. The cooling system is work, the backlight keyboard is work, just the screen still black and off.
<br>
<br>You had such a problem? Or my laptop is factory defect.
<br>
<br>Thanks in advance!hokkenek
