Reinstall Ubuntu 20.04 LTS in X1Carbon (7th gen, 2019)

I faced a strange boot error and re-installed Ubuntu 20.04.

Kernel version

aajisaka@x1carbon:~$ uname -a
Linux x1carbon 5.4.0-42-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jul 10 00:24:02 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Change CapsLock to Ctrl

In /etc/default/keyboard, set XKBOPTIONS="ctrl:nocaps".

Enable fan control

$ sudo apt install thinkfan
$ sudo -s
# echo "options thinkpad_acpi fan_control=1" > /etc/modprobe.d/thinkfan.conf
# modprobe -rv thinkpad_acpi
rmmod thinkpad_acpi
rmmod nvram
# modprobe -v thinkpad_acpi
insmod /lib/modules/5.4.0-42-generic/kernel/drivers/char/nvram.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/5.4.0-42-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/thinkpad_acpi.ko fan_control=1 
# thinkfan -n
# systemctl enable thinkfan
# systemctl start thinkfan

Set Terminal's shortcut

I like Ctrl+V for paste instead of Ctrl+Shift+V.

Install mozc

I am Japanese, so I need Google Japanese Input. * Ubuntu 18.04: iBus + Mozcで日本語入力する - Narrow Escape * Ubuntu18.04にて、半角 / 全角の切り替えをMac風に行なう方法 - Magidropack’s blog

When configuring IME, I had to change the system language to Japanese.

Others

• Trackpad is well-configured
• Sound is good.
