    To admins / site moderators: I'd advise making this "Acer Updates" thread a sticky.

    (Place it permanently at the top of the page so that all users who note new updates from Acer can post the announcements.) :geek:

    Regards, R

    Very true, they don't give out much information.
    Hmm, just a thought, what about a list for things users (that's us) would like added to the standard build, or items we would like addressed by Acer. A wish list.

    I will start a thread :)

    The ACER-Update form Jul 30 2008 is buggy for AAO with german Keyboard: After updating the Keyboard-Setting is "UNKNOWN" and you can't change it back with out-of-box Software, Keyboard has UK/US-Default.

    The file

    /usr/bin/xkb_plugin_set_xorg.sh

    that was included in the last update does not work. I tried the commands from the command line as root, but the LANG detection does not work, so it defaults to the last switch, which then has to be modified with the right settings for the keyboard (as discussed in the keyboard thread).

    My live update appears to stall over and over again, even if I wait hours for it to complete.
    Can I install the updates manually?
