I have an Aspire One ZG5, Stretch/Sid, fully updated.In modprobe.d I have acerhdf.conf with:
Code: Select alloptions acerhdf kernelmode=1 interval=10 fanon=65000 fanoff=60000
When the temp reaches 65c the fan comes on, but never shuts off. The fan does cool the cpu.If remove the module, and then modprobe it, the fan stops until the cpu reaches 65c.how to get the fan to shut off properly?
I have posted questions on several Linux forums that asked how I could turn off the touchpad on my new EEE-900A netbook. There is a backstory that is not that relevant, but in a nutshell, I got this tiny low-power computer to be my voice since my speech is impaired. Only the latest Debian has the tools I needed.
After much searching, suggested that I remove the touchpad driver; the command as root: # rmmod psmouse
Did the trick. On the 900A, the protocol that handles the touchpad is the PS/2. Removing the psmouse driver module does not affect my USB mouse, so now I can use my USB mouse and type away with my left hand and bumping into the touchpad doesn't screw things up. In other words: Success. (I am being as explicit as possible so that all search engines will find this.
I am thinking to turn a pretty old Mac Mini with 1.42Ghz PowerPC to Debian. Any thing I should be aware of?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem with my computer running debian testing with kde. When after a while I'm away form keyboard my screen turn off for power saving, but I cannot in any way turn it on again.
I tried moving mouse, pressing some key, Ctrl + Alt + Del, Ctrl + Alt + BackSpace, Ctrl + Alt + Esc, and also Ctrl+Alt+F1/2/ecc.. No way. I had to reset my computer every time.
I have been running Squeeze for quite a while on my Asus W5F laptop, and recently I have started having intermittent issues with it not starting the backlight after returning from suspend/sleep. Most of the time, the screen comes on as it is supposed to, but once in a while the computer resumes but the backlight is off. It is not just turned down to the lowest brightness setting, it is all the way off. I can read the screen only if I take a flashlight and shine it on the screen and look very closely. Most of the time, it is just easier to go to another machine and use ssh to restart.
I'm not familiar with how the suspend/resume process works, so I don't really know where to look for configuration options. It seems like there are a number of different places, but how they work together, I don't know....
Neither the keyboard brightness adjustment nor echoing values to /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCDD/brightness have any effect, though these do work to change the brightness when the backlight is on.
I took a look in /usr/lib/hal/scripts/linux/hal-system-power-suspend-linux, which shows the following options.
[ "$HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_S3_BIOS" = "true" ] && QUIRKS="$QUIRKS --quirk-s3-bios"
[ "$HAL_PROP_POWER_MANAGEMENT_QUIRK_S3_MODE" = "true" ] && QUIRKS="$QUIRKS --quirk-s3-mode"
[Code]....
The laptop is several years old and has had the lcd display replaced a year or two ago. It is possible that it is a hardware failure, but I lean away from that because a restart always brings the screen up fine, as does closing and opening the lid (which blacks the screen, no suspend).
i am wanting to turn my Debian box into a wireless AP, but for some unknown reason the wireless card won't switch into master mode when i run the command #iwconfig wlan1 mode master i get this Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06): SET failed on device wlan1 ; Invalid argument. what does this mean and what do i need to configure/install to get it to work my wirless card is supported i checked it's a zydas chipset using the zd1211rw driver SMC EZ Connect SMCWUSB-G [URL]

I'm new on this forum, but not new on linux and in general on Ubuntu and Debian and I've always programmed on these OS but I still have a long way, however, in fact I have a new Aspire E15 573G in which there is the UEFI that creates many problem on the boot of different systems but I need to change Windows 10 to Debian or to have both them because I hated Windows.
I searched in many sites to find because my debian live charged on my usb pen doesn't boot in any manner, I read that the live debian still does not start on UEFI systems but I still BELIEVE that there is a method to boot it up and I found this: [URL].....
So my request to you for now is what are the boot parameters to set to the liveboot.nsh? because that configuration doesn't solve the problem, Debian wanted ACPI disabled so I modified the .nsh but still there's the black screen.
I've recently acquired a little 10" netbook (Acer Aspire One D255) and am running Debian squeeze on it. It runs great except for the internal SD card reader, which doesn't do anything. If I have a USB card reader handy then it works fine, but it would be nice to have the internal card reader working if possible.

Doing a little searching reveals many similar complaints from last year, without particularly satisfactory solutions, but I can't find anything more recent. Does anyone know if there's a Debian fix for this yet? By which I mean a simple fix involving adding a module package or maybe upgrading to a wheezy kernel or something like that?
I recently bought a new Acer Aspire and installed Lenny, I can get a wired network/internet connection however not a wireless connection. I use wicd. Bluetooth doesn't work either though I suspect that it might be the same issue.
Don't know if it helps however when I tpye iwconfig I get:

lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
Didn't see a guide on this on the wiki. Correct me if I'm wrong and feel free to add some tips. (Keep in mind that I am a total beginner with Linux)This computer comes with Windows 7, which I seek to wholly replace, not partition.

It seems that certain Aspires have trouble connecting to wifi when Debian has been installed and I really need to be able to use the 'Net with my lappy. Where would those drivers/firmware be found?

I have an Acer Aspire 5102 notebook computer with the infamous Broadcom 4318 chipset. In the past I have had to install FW cutter & proprietary drivers to get this chipset to work with Ubuntu. With the release of Ubuntu 10.10 Marverick Meercat I seem to remember the WiFi working immediately after installation; although I could be mistaken.
Will I have to go through similar gymnastics to get Debian to work on my system; or do you think it will work right away?

Is it possible to turn off (and eventually back on) all superfluous process during gaming ? As an ex-win xp user, there was an app called "game booster", i think, that did this.
The process i have in mind are things like fancy compiz settings, dockbar X, and any upgrades that might be taking place in the background.

I downloaded the *.iso for a Fedora 10 Live KDE installation. It is currently on my hard drive. I tried burning it to a CD with Roxio using two different methods. The first one was not a bootable method. So I checked the Roxio documentation and burned the image that way. In burning an *.iso to a bootable image on a disc, Roxio asks for three different file types, none of which are *.iso. I selected my *.iso because that was all I had. Then I burned it as a bootable to a CD.
When I tried to boot it, I got a black screen with a message at the top left reading something like there was no operating system available. I thought that was strange, and I do not know what to do.
I am looking to turn off Plasma Workspace and keep it off! Today I was informed by a family member that their desktop had drastically changed. After investigating this, I had noticed that they were now running what was called Plasma Workspace. I am truly baffled right now as to how this was activated/turned on for only 1 out of 5 users on my computer. None of them are computer savvy, so it would also help me out considerably if I knew how this was turned on without the use of the terminal.

When I turn the computer back on, it skips the log in page. The turn off is very abrupt and happens without warning.
