Install Ubuntu Hardy (8.04.1) Guide

Same Result.

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.1 with most of the Modifications from this Thread.

Perhaps old WLAN Driver?

 

Solved, with the current WLAN Driver the LED Works!

 

Take a look at /etc/pm/sleep.d/. You can see an example of a sleep.d script in the Netbook Remix section of the wiki. You should be able to modify that to do what you want. Don´t forget to post it here.

Ubuntu will have absolutely no trouble with the hard drive and you won´t need any of the ´reducing ssd wear´ stuff either. I went for ssd because I don´t need much space and the ssd is better able to handle being dropped and consumes less power.

Allan

 

Works great for me.

Did you put it in /etc/pm/sleep.d? Did you make it executable?

Check out /var/log/pm-suspend.log

EDIT - did you not read my response to the first post you made?

So I created this script that will install ubuntu, by dropping you into a netinstallation (essentially the alternative install) you dont need a cd you dont need a usb key or anything like that, just a nice internet connection at the time of installation (dialup wont do).
Instructions from a default aspire one:
1) download this script
2) go into a terminal by: alt+f2, a window should pop up and type in 'terminal' (without the quotes) and press enter.
3)Type these in to the terminal: cd Downloads
4) chmod +x Install-script.sh
5) sudo ./Install-script.sh
6) go through the alternative install.

The installation is not currently automated, working on that. The changes that will be made are things like wifi drivers, new kernel etc. accepting advise on what to change please add it here: viewtopic.php?f=28&t=906
Thank you

 

Is there anybody that has followed the resent development in this thread concerning the sound issues that could update the guide with the latest information? I understand it is now possible to get everything to function at the same time?

 

Ah, you see, I am an idiot. I'd forgot I'd posted about it here so I posted again. I also made a mistake, I put a & instead of $ on $TMPFILE, so the whole thing died horribly. Thanks for pointing me to the log, it helped me figure it out. I'm giving it a test now but it should be fine.

What is the final verdict on the audio? I've got it set to disable the internal mic which works pretty well, but of course I would prefer it working properly.

Is there any way to prevent it from adding another duplicate Media card on the right side after suspend?

 

Everything works EXCEPT muting of the main speaker when you plug headphones in.

 

Thanks for the info!

 

hi! i used this sysctl stuf fin a bash for the led. now wifi stopped working completely . how could i repair it??thx...

 

....suddenly works with the led, so solved

 

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, Allan.
I looked at your script in the Netbook Remix section and did some Googling.
Happy to report that I got things working.
As Allan suggested, we need to be in /etc/pm/sleep.d
We need to add a file, where it should be noted that naming the file is important!
Files in /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d and /etc/pm/sleep.d are executed during suspend, power down and hibernate and they are run in alphabetic order; during resume they are then run in reversed order.

I found that the led's must be set after Reconfiguring network interfaces, as ordered by the file '50modules'. Therefore the new file name should be alphabetically 'smaller' than that file.

So I did the following:

Code:

sudo gedit /etc/pm/sleep.d/30WLAN_led

In this new file I entered:

Code:

case $1 in

    resume)
	# Driving WiFi led’s
	sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=3
	sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=1
        ;;

esac

Ater that the file is made executable with

Code:

sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/30WLAN_led

And voilá, the led's should work after resume.

Please check and let me know if this works for you.

Peter.

 

This article by Petaramash (in French) is well worth a read. Petaramash addresses the resume problem with several acpi scripts.

The rest of the article has lots of interesting ideas as well

EDIT - beware of cutting and pasting samples from this translation as Google has frakked many of them. Hover over the text you want to see an untranslated version.

 

Don't see any script - am I missing anything obvious?

 

Finally took the plunge and installed Ubuntu using the USB key method - worked really well and I'm happiest with this interface so far - hated the default Linpus software, tried XP on my 1.5GB/8GB SSD Acer One but found it too slow, or difficult to use when the different disk modes were switched on, but Ubuntu runs really well and I'm pleased - thanks for a great guide.

The Wifi drivers have been upgrade so you might like to reflect that in the document on Ubuntu.com

 

DOH
here is the script, I guess I cant upload it here, btw mods this is really not cool.

Bigger doh, this is the script to use the other one is wrong (older draft):

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTe ... tallScript

It seems that there is no way for me to input this script in here without somehow breaking this forum. I will post it on the ubuntu wiki.
MODS: I have some exp running phpBB do you guys need help?

 

Thanks to whoever updated the wiki to include some of the grub and fstab settings. I've added them, hopefully it helps.

I am wondering if anyone can give the final info on the sound system? If someone can put the info here, I would be more than happy to edit the wiki and add it. Just want to get it out there.

 

I was going to do that myself but was holding off until we solve the muting of the speaker when headphones are plugged in.
