Nuker’s Ubuntu 7.10 Log
October 19th, 2007 by Nuker
So I decided to put the latest version of Ubuntu on my laptop, a Toshiba L40 -12k. I only stumbled upon a few problems. As usual WLAN didn’t worked out of the box and somehow my keyboard layout was messed up.
I fixed my keyboard layout by reinstalling Ubuntu and setting it
to US English instead of NL Dutch. Now I just need to fix my
WLAN Certificate.
