http://www.thevarguy.com – There’s nothing like some new hardware to round out the week, and Toshiba has dutifully come to bat with a new line of Tecra business-class notebooks aimed at SMBs and boasting some serious structural reinforcement for a bruising life on the road. Available to partners exclusively through Toshiba Direct, the Tecra R940 and Tecra R950 notebooks are built using a fiberglass-reinforced casing with a Honeycomb Rib structure to provide enhanced durability for work in the field and on the road.

In the face of rapidly growing demand for tablets, Toshiba has launched a trio of business notebooks stressing their thin and light designs. And while the new Tecra and Portégé models aren't ruggedised, the company is also emphasising features that will help them withstand the trials of everyday use.

The Toshiba Tecra A10-124 function without any problem with Ubuntu 9.10 (KK), Ubuntu 10.04 and Linux Mint 8/9. Even the sound control situated in the front of the notebook is recognized at the installation so it\'s possible to change the volume directly...

I have a Tecra M5 and I am using Ubuntu 9.04, the blue tooth symbol shows up saying I have a bluetooth adapter and if I check for the hardware it throws back the MAC address of the device.

I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my Toshiba Tecra A8 laptop. It has Intel 945GM graphics.

All my hardware components work fine except for the external monitor. When I plug in the monitor cable to the external VGA port, Ubuntu detects it, but the screen goes black and I don't get anything displayed – both on the LCD and the external monitor.

Hi,

I'm trying to use 2 external Monitors connected via a dockingstation (that have a vga & dvi out) to my Toshiba Tecra M9. When taking a look to the display properties everything looks fine. All Displays incl. the internal one are detected correctly and the native solutions are preconfigured correctly.

I have been given Toshiba Tecra S11 with windows 7 running on it to install Ubuntu 10.04. Toshiba has a bunch of utilities running on the machine set up as dev/sda1, dev/sda, dev/sda3 and dev/sda4. I do not know where to start because of these existing partitions.

Thanks,

Toshiba plans to begin large-scale production of a new, 2.5-inch hybrid disk drive and NAND flash memory combined in a single unit suitable for ultrabooks, notebooks and PCs, company officials said. The idea, to fuse the speed and responsiveness of solid state technology with the capacity and cost-effectiveness of hard disk drives (HDD), so far hasn’t gained much traction among notebook makers, bu

Hey!

So the Toshiba Tecra M11 was touted as being very compatible with Natty Narwhal, and for the most part it was. I had a few issues with brightness control and hibernation, but otherwise everything was just peachy.

Ubuntu kept asking me to upgrade to Oneiric Ocelot (the options to not upgrade or upgrade later didn't work in the GUI for some reason, only the update button did).

I upgraded to the latest ubuntu version, karmic cola and every since I have had trouble with my sound. I have a Toshiba Tecra and my sound worked with the last version of ubuntu but every since I upgraded the sound has been glitchy. It started with just having trouble when I let it hibernate.
