Configure Ubuntu for the Eee PC
Ubuntu on your Eee PC is very nice, but he must do to function properly. For that reason, here are some tricks to ensure that this is the case.
USB stick does not mount
I noticed that I had trouble after installing my USB sticks by Ubuntu to mount, allowing me they simply could not user. This is relatively simple to solve using the following method. Open the terminal window and type:
Code:
sudo gedit/etc/fstab
Set the rules for a #. As they are automatically mounted. If that does not solve it, delete the bottom line in its entirety, you remove the USB stick and stop them back in the Eee PC.
Wireless network activation
To work with all wireless network, you must install a custom kernel. This means that he is someone else than the developers of Ubuntu. How do I explain step by step.
You start by adding some repositories, so the new kernel via the terminal window, you can download. This will also be notified if the maker a new version has put on his server, so you always have the latest version can be used. To do this the following steps. At the end of each step press enter. Open the terminal window and enter one by one the following:
Code:
http://www.array.org/ubuntu/array-intrepid.list wget sudo mv-v array intrepid.list/etc/apt/sources.list.d/wget http://www.array.org/ubuntu/array-apt-key.asc sudo apt-key add array-apt-key.asc sudo apt-get update
To install the new kernel to use the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-eeepc linux-headers-eeepc
If that is done, you have the update option from the old kernel out. This is done by the following in the terminal window type:
Code:
sudo apt-get remove linux-generic linux-image-generic linux-headers-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic
Now you have the Wi-Fi driver download. This can be done via this link. This file you can simply install it by double clicking. The rest goes without saying. If it says "reinstall package" that does not mean that the error is gone, that it just once.
Now you have this file. These files ensure that the Wi-Fi receiver on geklokt to 1.7GHz, enabling the wireless network faster.
To this file you must have a program. RAR files can open. You can install them using the following command:
Code:
sudo apt-get install rar
Open this file in the folder to the desktop is dragging. Go through terminal to the directory of the folder. This is the fastest in terminal cd [space] and then type the folder in the terminal window dragging. If you enter terms you're in that folder. Enter the following commands:
Code:
chmod + x acpi-scripts.sh sudo. / acpi-scripts.sh install
In a last step after you are done. In terminal enter your next command:
Code:
sudo gedit/etc/default/acpi-support
Now search for "laptop" via, for example Ctrl + f. If you ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE = false, it will change you in ENABLE_LAPTOP_MODE = true.
After a reboot, the wireless card to work properly. It could be that the normal kernel (to identify the product behind the name) you are still in GRUB. How you can remove read in this tutorial.
Rapid exit
It is known that during the Ubuntu shutdown sometimes only tends to screen off, but the power shutdown. This is simple to remedy. In terminal type:
Code:
sudo gedit/etc/init.d/halt
Top of this document type rmmod snd-hda-intel. From now close the Eee PC normally.
