@Louis Ubuntu 8.10 should work out of box. Try to re-install the system. If it is still no good, try to download and install the latest ALSA driver.

In case your wireless network manager indicates “Wireless Device Unmanaged” just edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf and changed the line under [ifupdown] to managed=true. this should fix your wireless connection. i got this from skroops: http://backports.ubuntuforums.com/showthread.php?t=940364

Another thing i’ve observed, the mute button of the y410 doesn’t disable the sound. But an indicator or image will show that the speaker has been disabled but there’s still sound coming out. I guess it’s a bug..

Try to upgrade to Ubuntu 8.10, it has all the fixes regarding the audio problem. my speaker now works (headphones too). Also, my wireless is now working.

i am having exactly same problem as Raj

Please, run the configure script as first…

if [ -L /include/sound ]; then \
rm -f /include/sound; \
ln -sf /home/raj/Desktop/alsa-driver-1.0.16/include/sound /include/sound; \
else \
rm -rf /include/sound; \
install -d -m 755 -g root -o root /include/sound; \
for f in include/sound/*.h; do \
install -m 644 -g root -o root $f /include/sound; \
done \
fi
install: cannot stat `include/sound/*.h’: No such file or directory
make: *** [install-headers] Error 1

Found an easy solution at http://koo.fi/tech/2008/06/05/lenovo-thinkpad-x300-ubuntu-804-installation-notes/ just changed to my kernel and used the latest stable snapshot from august. Speakers and headphones work with no issues.

Cool! Suddenly, there are a lot of solutions!
