Install ubuntu 8.04 in a thinkpad x61 under wubi

通过Wubi在thinkpad x61上安装ubuntu 8.04.
Download hardy iso, open the iso file and extract file "wubi.exe", run it and install ubuntu in a virtual disk. Sometimes the wubi.exe file report an error in windows system, it can be resolved by copy the install file to another place, such as a different disk partition of the iso file.
The system will be installed after reboot, and choose "ubuntu" when grub list shows.

After installed the system, the system will be fine for network, sound(need to modify the volume because the default is mute), Fn+ control for F*, thinklight, and so on.

Change the sources.list file with the following lines:
****************
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-proposed main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb-src http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu hardy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
***************
Then run:
>sudo apt-get update
After a moment the auto system update tips will display on the system tray, open it and update the system according to the guides, or you can just ignore it and run:
>sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
to update the system mannual.

Install some other needed software:
Open Synaptic under System-Administrater, search "zh"(chinese locale), "scim"(chinese input), "thinkpad"(thinkpad notebook softwares), "smplayer"(movie player), and choose the softwares you want to install.

Install w32codecs for decodecs, need to add sources:
************
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu/ dapper-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu/ dapper-security main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://ubuntu.cn99.com/ubuntu-cn/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse
************

After the w32codecs installed, the smplayer can't play rm/rmvb files yet!
>sudo apt-get install smplayer-themes
modify /etc/environment, add the following line in the last to display chinese filename:
LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf-8

Mp3 player: the default music player is rhythmbox, however it can't play mp3 by default, need to run:
>sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-*plugins-ugly (For mp3 support)
>sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (For wmv support)

To resolve the chinese display error in rhythmbox, need to run
>sudo apt-get install python-mutagen
>mid3iconv -e GBK *.mp3 (Didn't test)

Remaining problem:
How to input chinese in EN locale?
edite /etc/fonts/conf.avail/40-generic.conf and 65-nonlatin.conf
add the following lines before line "<family>Kochi Mincho</family>"
<family>SimSun</family> (or <family>Microsoft YaHei</family> for Yahei)
edit /etc/environment and add the following line:
LC_CTYPE="zh_CN.UTF-8"

smplayer and rhythmbox can't open files whose name including chinese.
modify /etc/environment, add the following line in the last:
LC_ALL=zh_CN.utf-8
