Ubuntu 11.04 on ASUS Eee PC 1215B?

[FLU|TER]

Few days ago I have ordered the Asus Eeepc 1215b which has configured with AMD fusion E-350 . I want to run Ubuntu on this netbook. Do you think that it is possible? Does anyone has achieved success with latest Ubuntu 11.04?

I also decided to hold the 11.04 to problems with some programs (such gscan2pdf), but problems with 1215b I have seen that 11.10 reacted better with 720p video in general and with the load of the cpu

Compared to Atom N570 in addition to the E-350, it has slightly better performance over HDMI, higher performance graphics ( HD 6310 ) and better power saving modes (C6). In addition to bringing the AMD "AMD-V" virtualization technology, the Atom N570 has no support of the Intel counterparts, "VT".

I have Windows pre-installed by replaced(11.04). Although it can run Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and graphics out of the box, but unfortunately, the BIOS still have problems. Always with the black screen when the laptop wakes from sleep. The Notebok then hangs off so that the kernel is no longer responding to Magic SysRequests. Switching off the device by long pressing the power button is not enough. Only after removing the battery for a few seconds, i can start it again.

I have a new Asus EEE PC 1215B (AMD E-450 APU, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD). Now I've installed Windows 7 Professional, and would like to have a dual boot Ubuntu 11.10. I installed Windows 7 on stick, which also runs perfectly. I've packed Ubuntu on the same drive and booted it. During installation I chose "install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7”, the installation will run through without errors. At the end of the stick should normally be taken off and restarted. However, the GRUB was not installed or in the wrong place, so now only Windows 7 can be started.

No, it should already work normally. I'm also currently running two different systems on the box, which I use quite rare. Possibly, it is a bug in Ubuntu. You normally write GRUB to the MBR and just because you can specify as many systems as you want. Look for some if you have Windows installed on a GPT partition, because that would be the problem for Grub does not work.
