Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Installed yesterday, everything working fine. AAO 160GB/1GB RAM 8.9" screen, got it up and running in ~30 seconds.

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Problem here . . . can't get a flash drive to mount. I get the error "Invalid mount option while trying to mount the volume"

Oh, well, what's life without problems to solve :?:

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Go to etc/fstab and comment out the installation path for the USB CDROM. This is the line from my fstab:

Code:

# /dev/sdb1       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0

it's a common problem after installation from flash drive.

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Thanks for that, encaputxat. I gave it another try and wifi worked perfectly.

However, it is still my experience that Jaunty UNR 9.04 Alpha 6 is very sluggish in responsiveness on an SSD model. Let's hope it'll be fixed before the final release since there are a lot of SSD models out there I believe.

After last updates i dont have netbook-launcher on my language, i dont have notifications, i dont have startup/shutdown sound and maximus dont work with all applications...

Anybody else have thats problems too???

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Last updates, and everything works again only my native language (Portuguese) is not...

I have to tell, Jaunty netbook remix is the best distro i have tried so far, everythings works without any tweaks and still is alpha...

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

A couple of things happened after a recent update . . . . .
1) Flash videos (Youtube) don't work correctly. The sound plays, but the video does not. By moving the image on the screen via a scroll, the youtube video updates to a later frame that seems to match the sound at that time, but it does not contunue to play from that point.

2) Up next to the battery level indicator, there is a grey rectangle that says "No Indicators". It was not there before. (See the screen capture at http://www.leaddogs.org/Screenshot-1.png )

Ideas?

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

"No Indicators" is new applet, Indicator applet, i dont now yet what does it work, but you can remove it from the panel...

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Hmmm . . . . . I'll figure out how to remove that, but now the "Administration" menu is missing from the desktop. I can still get to it by switching to the standard Ubuntu desktop where it's on the top menu bar, but what a pita.

If you are thinking of updating, I'd wait.

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

UNR 9.04 daily build 21.3 works fine on my AAO1, 8GB SSD, 1.5GBRAM. A couple of days ago I installed the build from 19.3 and that didn't really recover from the updates. All in all it looks very promising. Btw. I am using ext2 for file system and the blacklist trick to get wireless working:

One question:

I would like to installed the latest Wine from by following this guide: http://www.winehq.org/download/deb

Can I safely use the version for intrepid?

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Hey people

I tried to wait, for a whole 48 hours. I coud not!
I downloaded the iso, followed the approprite instructions to make my flash-drive bootable (from the ubuntu website, using flashnul).
When I try to boot my AAO from the flash-drive I get "Error 17"

Any ideas chaps?

Add pciehp.pciehp_force=1 to kernel options and 9.04 begin mount all flash and SD-cards on the fly

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Hummm.... I can't seem get my USB720 verizon EVDO wireless modem going. Setup is correct, it tries to dial but no connect. Works fine in Intrepid. Any suggestions???

 

[solved]Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

and how must i do that -- i am a newbee so please explain me in steps how to do this

thanks for the help


update : i have found the solution it has to be put in menu.lst according to this link
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne


edit : where to put in in the menu.lst
there are so much entries in that file

can anybody give an example how to put this in this menu.lst

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

Open "menu.lst" in root mode and add the kernel boot options to the end of the first line starting with the keyword "kernel" -usually this is your default choice (if not, add to the one you which to change instead).

Ex.: enter in your console : >"sudo mousepad /boot/grub/menu.lst"

Near the end of the file you find the entries for different kernels/OS's similar to;

## ## End Default Options ##

title Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic
uuid 1516bd90-5177-4948-aed1-dd100d46a7ef
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=1516bd90-5177-4948-aed1-dd100d46a7ef ro nohz=off quiet splash
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-11-generic
quiet
.....


Edit the line starting with "kernel" to add your options. In this computer it would be;

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-11-generic root=UUID=1516bd90-5177-4948-aed1-dd100d46a7ef ro nohz=off quiet splash pciehp.pciehp_force=1


PS: I uses mousepad for editing as it comes with XFCE, but you may have gedit (Gnome), kedit (?, KDE), leafpad (LXDE) or any other.

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

I would suggest making things a little more "permanent" by adding the line at the end of "# defoptions=quiet splash" to make it look like the following:

Code:

# defoptions=quiet splash pciehp.pciehp_force=1

Save and exit then run sudo update-grub in terminal. Now anytime a new kernel is updated/installed the code will be added automatically. If you don't add the code to the defoptions line then you will have to add the code to the end of each kernel in menu.lst whenever a new kernel is installed.

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

is this in combination with the previous post

if i put only this in the menu.lst it doesn't work

 

Re: Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 is ready for test...

for my aspire one, which has 16 SSD, 1GB ram, I don't like using the ath5k wireless driver since my max connection speed is 1 to 5 Mpbs tops. If I use madwifi drivers, then I get either 48 or 54 Mpbs.
