Re: [Ubuntu-BR] Dell Com Ubuntu

Nem sempre, no ano passado eu comprei o melhor notebook ofertado pela Dell, um 
i7 com 16 
GB RAM, vídeo ATI com 2GB dedicados e touchscreen, já com Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 
préinstalado. 
O preço foi muito bom e estava quase R$ 300,00 mais barato que o mesmo 
computador com 
Windows.
Eles não podem vender computador sem SO algum, então ou você compra com Windows 
(e 
paga por ele, sem direito a reembolso), ou então já compra com Ubuntu. Eles 
poderiam vender 
com FreeDOS ou outra coisa assim para não cobrar o Windows, mas aparentemente 
não 
compensa pra eles a logística de disponibilizar mais uma "configuração" de 
micros só por causa 
disso.
Não reclamo, já acho que fizerem o bastante em oferecer computadores com 
Ubuntu, coisa 
que nenhum outro grande fabricante estabelecido no Brasil faz.

Re: [Ubuntu-BR] Dell Com Ubuntu

2016-01-20 Thread Renê Barbosa
Comigo foi realmente muito tranquilo, bastou uma ligação, alguns minutos
confirmando dados de identificação e aguardar alguns dias. É óbvio que tem
alguns requisitos, por exemplo, o contrato de usuário (aquele mesmo que é
mostrado na primeira execução do SO Windows) não pode ter sido aceito e,
obviamente, eles só reembolsam compras realizadas através do site deles. Se
o notebook foi comprado em revendedores, aí a vaca vai para o brejo.

O gabarito é o seguinte, se comprou no site deles e vai usar Ubuntu (ou
qualquer outra distribuição Linux, BSD, etc) , já ligue o notebook com um
Live Pendrive plugado, nem deixe o Windows dar o primeiro boot. :)

I'm surprised that it didn't work, shortly after I purchased my Inspiron 15 
(granted it was about a year an half ago so may be an older model), within the 
first few month I shrunk the Win7 volume on the laptop, and loaded Ubuntu on 
the free space - and everything worked perfectly.

This may have been a bit out of date, since I did it a while ago, though.

Dell has brought back the pre-loaded Inspiron laptop (only one model)
for the UK.  In the States there are several models shipped pre-loaded.
Michael Dell is very much pro-Ubuntu, but the world is not quite ready
to go for it.  That's our job!  To prepare the way 

Windows 7 and dual boot is going to be a problem anyway unless you
re-format and re-install Windows before installing Ubuntu.  But in any
case it isn't difficult to reinstate a boot sector before installing
grub... I would have thought there is a workaround for dual booting (if
you MUST dual boot).

Bom dia pessoal,


No site do Ubuntu a referência para Dell, segue abaixo:

Até mais!!!

  O foda é ter que pagar o envio internacional por não ter o produto
 desejado
  no site brasileiro. O preço vai além das nuvens!
 

 Na verdade se você juntar um note + 1 android (ou iPhone) e um casaquinho
 básico, o desconto já tira a passagem. (Claro, assumindo que tu falas ao
 menos inglês)

Na aba Produtos tem 5 equipamentos com a possibilidade de vir com o

Na aba Ajuda e Suporte é possível ter acesso à documentação sobre o Ubuntu.
Na aba Serviços e Soluções, a Dell oferece serviços profissionais para
empresas, onde inclui o suporte ao Ubuntu.

Eles fornecem até manuais sobre o Ubuntu:
http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/ins910/pb/index.htm

Na reportagem do Olhar Digital, um comprador de um produto Dell, que
pediu o reembolso do valor do Windows, diz que teve de devolver a
máquina e recebeu outra com Ubuntu pré-instalado e a diferença de
volta, ao contrário de uma outra compradora que comprou um Lenovo. A
Lenovo diz que ainda está estudando políticas de reembolso através
do seu departamento jurídico. O que, IMHO, é uma vergonha.

Abraço.

Bom, não se pode ganhar todas, né? Existe a opção de escolher o
produto *sem sistema operacional* ou com o Free DOS. Pelo menos
diminui o custo do mardito. :D

Pessoal, a Dell Brasil tem contratos OEM vigentes com a MS e, certamente, a 
opção de Ubuntu nos Dells brasileiros ainda está longe de ser uma realidade.
Toda a parafernália de inicialização, restauração, backup e personalização dos 
computadores Dell e seu devido suporte ainda estão amarrados ao sistema da MS, 
incluindo a inclusão dos pacotes Office, Norton, etc. 
Para isto mudar, o mercado deles no Brasil tem que exigir. Se os usuários que 
cobram isto não são em número significativo... continua do jeito de está.

2010-06-28 Thread Isamar Maia
Hmm.. me referia a notebook.

Mas, de fato, da uma trabalheira irada mesmo.

Outra ideia eh comprar uma outra marca mais popular.. Acer, ASUS, etc...

 Well

 Já pensou a trabalheira que vai dar entrar no Procon, esperar andamento
 de processso, etc, etc ? Um longo caminho até receber o dinheiro de
 volta.

 Já que teimam em não querer vender do jeito que necessitamos comprar,
 será que não é mais fácil mandar montar um micro e pronto?

 Melhor comprar com Windows mesmo e exigir a devolucao da grana,

There is a reason for that! right now dell are only selling the mini 10
netbook which is a terrible terrible machine that won't work well on

I've been waiting for them to get hold of something with better
battery life than the Lenevo IdeaPad S10-2-3 (like, for instance, a
Lenevo IdeaPad S10-3...)

After portability, battery life is my main criteria. Unfortunately my
best bet at the moment seems to be a Samsung N220, but I can't bring
myself to purchase something pre-installed with windows (... it will
only encourage them to carry on doing it).

ZaReason will export to the UK, but that seems a bit extreme...

That's very interesting...  (Though they do already sell a Dell Mini
10n in the States)

I'll wait then. It's a race. Between Linux Emporium (Lenevo IdeaPad

bad GPU?) getting something new.

A very slow race.

Great post.

The momentum is building and I am genuinely excited to seeing the growth
of Ubuntu in the next few years if not sooner!

Its a credit to the thousands of people who have put hours of their own
time into making something great for reasons other than profit or
personal gain. Something rare these days as I am sure you will all
agree.

Well done to all those involved past, present and in the future and keep
up the hard work :o)

P.s

FREE not fee - Doh! Will happily take that though, it's a breakthrough.

I bought my mini 10v around a month ago.  It's a fantastic machine, and
it's running Lucid with no problems at all.  The only closed-source
driver required is the Broadcom STA wireless driver - and there doesn't
seem to be a problem with that on the latest (or any other) kernel
AFAIK.

The reason Dell UK gave me for withdrawing just about all of the Linux
range was that 'there is no call for them'. I'm currently in
correspondence with Dell UK about this.  I placed a copy of my last
e-mail to them on this list, and so far have the reply as follows:
Regarding your proposal for the Dell systems (without the Microsoft
Operating Systems) made available for the UK - Ubuntu users, and other
suggestions, I would be referring the issue to the appropriate team and
will contact you with the information.  (from raj_mo...@dell.com).

I will post any further reply to this list.

I managed to get the poulsbo 'stuff' running on my Dell Mini 10
(running Lucid) last night. It was a lot of faff as the system had
some dregs of stuff from getting the GMA500 chip working properly in
Karmic. I would say it is not something for the faint hearted (about 3
hours in total it took me) with a good proportion of time spent on a
working laptop with google and a terminal with ssh! I can confirm that
I have it working now though.

Am I right in thinking this Poulsbo chip has the integrated PowerVR 
graphics core for 3D graphics?

Makes me wonder why Intel don't just buy up PowerVR and then release an 
open source driver (as it seems that for their older GMA chipsets they 
are reasonably good at providing an open source driver).

Might also help them compete a bit better against AMD and NVidia on the 
graphics side of things.

 Makes me wonder why Intel don't just buy up PowerVR and then release an

 are reasonably good at providing an open source driver).
  
 I think there were would be regulatory issues with this: some of their
 key competitors are licensees of the PowerVR series from Imagination.

Ahh yeah didn't think of that, isn't the PowerVR technology used in the 
iPhone and iPad?

Oh well, really is a shame they don't release some open source drivers 
though.

Not only are they not supplying non-Windows machines, they say that
replacing with another OS will invalidate the hardware guarantee.

Dell bought by PC World - must have missed that press item! :)

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Dell with Ubuntu?

2010-05-19 Thread Michael Daniels

Dell seemed to stop the distribution of machines preloaded with Ubuntu, around 
the time that Windows 7 was launched. The Inspiron 1525 which I purchaced 
with Ubunto loaded then became unavailable, but has since been relaunched as 
a Windows 7 version with a much higher prce tag. In the past, some computer 
manufacturers have refunded the operating system cost where acceptance of the 
Microsoft agreement was rejected, with no request for the return of the back-up 
cd's, might be worth asking. It has now become difficult to find a supplier of 
branded computers preloaded with Ubuntu. My Dell 1525 is a Windows-free zone 
and will stay that way. The volume computer manufacturers are long overdue for 
another wake-up call. Ubuntu will not just fade away !

I'm a bit baffled as well - http://www.dell.co.uk/ubuntu used to link to a
(very) limited list of Ubuntu laptops - and a couple of Desktops
occasionally.but it would appear that now it takes you to a list of
machines running Windows, with no option to get Ubuntu pre-installed or even
to order without an OS (and the subsequent OEM licence fee).

I think it's only fair to explain the differences to people though between
the operating systems.  The number of tasks requiring command line usage are
becoming less frequent in Ubuntu, but this is still often the easiest way of
resolving issues, and that can create a lot of fear for people

The other issue that needs to be highlighted is software incompatibility -
there is plenty of software out there that requires Windows and won't run in
Wine, not to mention hardware that doesn't play nicely in linux.  I've seen
an alarming trend in hardware with web based interfaces that require ActiveX
as well (some managed Linksys Cisco Small Business switches, Sony IP CCTV
cameras).  All of these are potential issues that users need to be aware of
- and rose tinting the issues ruins the users overall experience, as they
see Linux as an obastacle to doing what they want to do.

It's old, but I do tend to point people at
http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm
when I start talking to them about making the changea Use Linux, it's
better! approach without discussing possible issues will likely cause them
to convert back to windows in a heartbeat.  I can't chastise Dell for

I had exactly the same problem. The website says it but there are no links
to actual machines, it's strange. I phoned them up and asked about the
phantom Ubuntu machines and after a bit of discussion they gave me a quote
on a netbook that I saw that was listed as running Windows.

The lad I talked to seemed really surprised though, as if it was bizarre to
him that someone would want an Ubuntu machine, and he kept asking questions.

Sucks, but it's true.

It would be nice to think that when you request Ubuntu that

clue that people want it. Of course Canonical are playing their part
in this too, but it's a slow process.

Dell aren't alone in this. It's taking time with all the large OEMs to

Ubuntu Light (announced at UDS last week) should make it easier for
them to do that.

It's still damn confusing though. If you look at the tech specs of the
Vostro 3300 on dell.co.uk (which presumably sells kit for the UK
region), it does say Ubuntu®  Linux®  (Available in April) but that
option is not available through the customisation function at the
moment. So either they're late with their Ubuntu offering or it's
actually not really available in the UK. Or they actually meant April
2011. In any case, what they have on the (regional) web site doesn't
match what they actually sell.

I looked at the site a couple of weeks ago, and Ubuntu was available as
an option on some machines, although it was 8.10 - but now it's vanished
completely. Perhaps they're waiting for their LiveCDs to arrive. :)

[ubuntu-in] Dell and Ubuntu!

2008-09-04 Thread Biswajit Dutta Baruah
It is futile to argue about something that is out in the open. I admit
that dell is offering support for ubuntu hardy but in those early days,
there was no support available for gutsy. Anyways no point in talking
about the past. Even now, the dell linux wiki comes with a disclaimer
about no technical support being available.

Last but not the least, my dear Onkar, I am running ubuntu hardy on a
Dell Inspiron 1420. And maybe thats one of the reasons why I fell for a
Dell.

My objection is to the fact that all laptop users are being forced to
buy windows vista, and that I think is a major impedance to widespread
adoption of ubuntu, and linux. I went with Dell because they had the
courage to go against the norm.

May be Dell India website works differently that Dell US. I can see a
button 'Request a quotation' on website. So it may not be possible to
order immediately.

I am not sure how you reached conclusion 'Not supported'.
Even though I have never bought any Dell laptop, AFAIK Dell laptop's
build quality is far better than most other vendors in India. So may
be there won't be many support calls.

But the Inspiron and XPS ranges are not. The vostro range is designed to
meet the need of buisnesses and not a normal everyday user. 

@list: I am not sure Dell is interested in promoting ubuntu in India as
of now! I would think they are more into making their presence felt,
brand promotion and so on. I think that the launch of MID's holds
greater promise in the growth of ubuntu in India. Dell and others may

Friends,

Hope this is not too late to chip in.

I have an Inspiron 1420 that i bought in Dec 2007. Have been running
ubuntu on the same. Had a few issues with sound and video in gutsy but
hardy is fine ...no issues at all. Not crashed even once and am using it

I've installed ubuntu on XPS as well for a few friends and it has worked
well.

Dell India is not selling any laptops with ubuntu pre loaded. Don't even
ask the guys, they don't have any clue about what ubuntu is. I tried
hard for them to sell me one without vista so that I don't have to pay
for the vista. But they refused, however i got a 5000 discount after
some hard bargaining.

At that time Dell was selling laptops online only but now they are in
the shops. And introductory offers are usually with a discount, so go
for it. If you buy online, they will come from Sriperumbudur(near
chennai) and not Malaysia, like mine did. 

If you are getting one from the US be sure to buy a global warranty  so
that in case of needing service you can have it done locally and not
send it back to the US. I can have mine serviced in the Asia_pacific
region and not elsewhere, but that suit me well and I'm happy.

 dell is been offering  both desktops and laptops without an operating
 system ( read with Free DOS OS) installed  in India, which could cost you a
 little lesser than buying a system with vista pre-installed.  The price
 depends on the offeres and discount bundles they have at the moment though.

Unfortunately, I dont believe you get them pre-loaded with Ubuntu in India.
I assumed that since they sold the model with Ubuntu abroad, everything
would work flawlessly out of the box with ubuntu. While this was true for
most things, I remember there being some problems with sound, etc.
Basically, Dell has its own release of Ubuntu with some of its proprietary
drivers packaged in and it was available only as a DVD which meant a 2-week
download, etc... it is nicer if you can get it from abroad with ubuntu
pre-loaded, should save some bucks  as well.. (although you wont get the
pleasure that I did of formatting the Vista drive and ripping off the
sticker... :) )

And err.. sorry, I'm not familiar with the exact model nos. you posted -
hope my comments aren't way off:)

If I remember correctly, the sound problems were on Intel HDA cards
due to old alsa. Hence Dell backported new alsa drivers.

The only proprietary part in Dell OEM installation of Ubuntu is the
DVD player. Rest it is stock Ubuntu Hardy now.

By the way, in case you are getting it from US, you may also want to
take a look at system76 [1]. They have been providing machines with
Ubuntu preloaded for long, even before Dell started doing it.

[Ubuntu-be] Dell goes Ubuntu

2008-07-22 Thread Steven Leeman
Dell voorziet Linux-pc's van Hardy Heron

Door *Willem de Moor* http://tweakers.net/plan/crew/239, dinsdag 22 juli
2008 15:18, views: 2.287

Dell heeft aangekondigd dat diverse consumenten-pc's met de nieuwste versie
van Ubuntu Linux geleverd kunnen worden. 'Hardy Heron' kan op verschillende
XPS-laptops en Inspiron-notebooks en -dekstops worden voorgeïnstalleerd.

[image: Ubuntu logo]Sinds Ubuntu 8.04, ook wel bekend als Hardy Heron, in
april werd vrijgegeven, is Dell druk bezig geweest de Linux-distributie met
zijn consumentenproducten compatibel te maken. Het resultaat is inmiddels
beschikbaar: Ubuntu kan voortaan op een selectie laptops en desktops
geïnstalleeerdhttp://yourblog.direct2dell.com/2008/07/18/dell-upgrades-consumer-linux-pcs-to-ubuntu-804/worden;
als optie is er ook telefonische ondersteuning verkrijgbaar. Kopers
uit de Verenigde Staten, Canada, enkele Zuid-Amerikaanse landen, Frankrijk,
Duitsland, Spanje of het Verenigd Koninkrijk kunnen Ubuntu 'Hardy Heron'
bestellen in combinatie met een XPS M1330N-laptop, een Inspiron 1525N-laptop
en een Inspiron 530N-desktop.

Nederlandse en Belgische klanten kunnen echter nog niet voor Ubuntu kiezen.
Volgens Simone Versteeg, woordvoerster van Dell Nederland, volgt het bedrijf
over het algemeen initiatieven van andere landen. Zij vermoedt dat ook de
Benelux 'binnenkort' een Dell met Linux mag verwachten, maar tot die tijd
kunnen klanten volgens haar ook kiezen voor een kale pc of laptop, zonder
besturingssysteem. Ze kunnen dan zelf Ubuntu of een andere Linux-distributie
naar keus installeren, al wordt daar uiteraard geen ondersteuning door de
klantenservice bij geboden. De Ubuntu 8.04-versie die Dell elders met zijn
hardware meelevert, is getest op naadloze ondersteuning voor de hardware van
het bedrijf: de videokaart, het draadloze netwerk, de vingerafdruklezer,
hdmi en bluetooth zouden allemaal feilloos onder Linux moeten werken. Ook de
pakketten die het mogelijk moeten maken Windows Media- en dvd-bestanden af
te spelen worden meegeleverd.

No entanto, recebo mensalmente seu catálogo de ofertas e, a cada novo

[ubuntu-marketing] Dell Desktop (ubuntu) pricing

2008-05-16 Thread alan c
I am in the market now, for a desktop and would like it to have been a 
Dell, supporting Ubuntu and Dell too. However, I have looked in detail 
this morning and it seemed expensive compared to the windows stuff, so 
I did a detail comparison, twice, just to be sure.

With identical hardware choices except for graphics cards (similar 
power) the Ubuntu option comes out at 100 uk pounds more, In my case,
629 uk pounds (ubuntu)
529 uk pounds (vista home)

Obviously the deals seem to be with the windows stuff and they are not 
being carried to the ubuntu section. I am surprised there is
such a difference, and it unfortunately means I will not be deciding 
to buy from dell, it would be crazy.

Existe a opção de 120gb de hd.
E nos notes americanos existe a opçào de leitor de cartões com tecnologia
3G.
Aqui nem bluetooth é default! hehehe

2008/2/26 João Santana [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Alguém reparou que o Inspiron 530 brasileiro é mais fuleiro que o
 americano? No site de configure e compre de lá, ele vem com disco de
 250 GB, o daqui 80 GB. Será que a Dell vai melhorar a configuração para
 máquinas com Ubuntu, uma vez que ela não vai ter que pagar royalties
 para a MS por causa do SO?

The irony of course is that this machine is *no cheaper* than the

  Hi Pete,
  
  Hopefully you'll be pleased to know that you are incorrect :-)
  
  For the same specs notebook (6400 vs 6400n):
  With Ubuntu - £329
  With Windows Vista - £358.99
  
  Relevant Specs:
  N-Series-Intel(r) Celeron(r) M 520 Processor (1.6GHz,533MHz,1MB cache)
  15.4 Wide Screen WXGA (1280 x 800) Display
  512MB 533MHz Single Channel DDR2 SDRAM [1x512]
  60GB (5400rpm) SATA Hard Drive
  N-Series - Intel(r) Media Accelerator 950 Graphics Up to 256MB shared
  graphics memory
  8x DVD/24x CDRW
  No Floppy Drive
  Accessories
  Intel(r) Pro Wireless 3945 802.11a/b/g Mini-PCI Card (for Celeron
 Processors)
  
  
  So if you found the prices to be the same initially, I imagine they
  may have just copied and pasted the Windows Vista product offering,
  then tweaked it further down the line - including the price.

 The best thing thats happened in the UK since cillit bang grime and

  The link http://dell.co.uk/ubuntu works but when I select the Ubuntu
Desktop range I get this error 'The page you requested may no longer exist
on Dell.com'
Seems they are not quite ready to sell us Dell's
with Ubuntu.  Annoyingly they also have a Dell with Windows link on
that page which of course works.

And I agree Cilit Bang is a great product, cleaned my grimmy shower and sink
up really well.
