there are a number of Netbooks that will work under Debian. I am looking for one that will support touch screen, and Debian. I understand that the touch screen will not run under Debian, but I want a Netbook that will run Deb with as few issues as possible.
View 3 RepliesI am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.

Im running ubtuntu netbook remix 10.04 and am new to linux (again, so sorry) so be nice, and ive tried getting my head around this 'sudo' stuff, and the xorg.conf file (which is nowhere to be found) and ive even tried a program calld astray but im pretty sure ive exhausted my patience as trying to self-teach . . .
And ive also tried to much around with xrandr or whatever that command was.. but i cant really get my head around it, and it kept telling me the resolution didnt exist ect...
I have Linux Mint Debian Edition installed on my main laptop so far and loving it. I tried going to Debian Sid but the video card kept messing up on me before I could fully keep it up so I had to keep backtracking. I figured I would put Debian on the netbook first so that I could get a grasp of how the setup works with getting everything configured right (since lmde does do more of the work for you). The thing is I don't see any need for having Mint on any of my systems...besides the need of having it set up right...wich is why LMDE is still on the main laptop. The horrid green was the first to go for me and then installing GnoMenu since my wife prefers it as a menu anyways.
Anyways I'm rambling and off topic but here's what I want to get done right. I have an Acer Aspire one that has one gig of ram on it. I want to get Debian Sid 32bit with gnome running on it. Whats the best way you would install Debian on this little laptop (used to doing cd installs but this one has none) and quickly configure it for graphics so that Cario-Dock and Compiz/Emerald run smoothly. I don't run any games on either machine (except if you count multi-user-dungeons ) so this is the extent of the graphics I'll need besides watching videos from time to time from NetFlicks.
For the past 2hrs I have been struggling to make KDE launch plasma-dekstop instead of plasma-netbook, but all in vain.I removed, then purged plasma-netbook and plasma-netbook-default-settings packages but after logging out and re-logging in the Netbook UI was back! After restarting the system now I can't even seem to get the KDM. I am greeted with a black screen.--- I restarted the system again and the nasty little bugger is back again! This is so frustrating. How do I get plasma-desktop to load instead?---- Great now I can see that plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook both are running simultaneously! netbook on top of desktop. So my final Q is how do I stop plasma-netbook from loading?

I installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04 and immediately noticed the keyboard of my eeepc 1000HE was abnormally warm. Since I dual boot XP I booted to XP and found the fan running faster to compensate for the previous heat. This did not happen on Ubuntu-the fan just was barely running. I had to place the side of the netbook in order to feel the fan running. I issued "sensors" in terminal and it showed 67 degrees C for the cpu temp. Is the latest Ubuntu such a resource hug that it heats up the CPU?

I recently bought a netbook on which Windows 7 Start Edition was installed. I partitioned the disk to install 2 other linux distributions : Backtrack 4 and Debian Lenny. Here is my partition scheme :
Disk /dev/sdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

how I can boot directly from a 2GB USB drive, instead of having to modify grub etc. Is there something in Debian that is equivalent to the Universal USB Installer in Ubuntu?

I managed to find an ISO for the Debian ARM installer, but what to do with it. My netbook doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, and all the installation instructions talk about something called U-boot, which I don't think my machine has. There is a possibility that my netbook may be able to boot from the SD card slot, because I know the WM8650 by the same chipset manufacturer had the ability to boot up using something called wmt_scriptcmd in the SD card's root if you simply turned the device on with the card inserted. How this script works, and I really have no ROMs designed for this device to test with. Thus far, I can't even install an alternative version of Android on here, let alone Debian. There is no clear idea of how to even boot into the installer.
I'm currently running a rooted version of Android 4.2 that came with my netbook, complete with BusyBox. I've been unable to find any decent installation instructions, because most tutorials assume you want to set up a chrooted environment and be content with using Linux via a VNC viewer and a terminal application. I actually want to have Linux running by itself, and not on top of Android. Most sites that deal with ARM are completely useless because they assume you're using a brand-name smart phone or tablet with a documented recovery procedure rather than an unbranded Chinese netbook with no touchscreen.
Am I basically stuck with the version of Android that came with my netbook because the device is too obscure and undocumented to have custom ROMs?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIm a new linux user and so far im loving it, problem is i just tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix onto my Compaq mini 311 (via usb) and at first i couldnt even install from the flash stick...finally managed to by formatting the flash with an HP tool and then creating the bootable Live OS with "Linux Live USB creator 2.6."
I selected to use the whole Hard disk to install (the hard disk was empty anyway as i recently formated the drive which had windows 7 on it)
The the installation completed successfully but the problem is that after rebooting the OS wouldnt boot, leaving me with a flashing cursor or _ on the top left of the screen...
I have tried everything i could think of, using different Usb creators, formatting the hard drive before re-installing but for some reason im still left with the same blinking cursor after every install.
I have just installed the regular version of ubuntu 9.04 which works perfectly after installing but id much rather use the netbook version of 10.04

I'm using Opensuse 11.4 with KDE and have set the workspace type to "Netbook". Lately I have been experiencing complete freezes of the workspace (the horizontal panel and all it's widgets and elements, the activity pages and even yakuake won't respond to it's hotkey) but the Alt+tab and the Ctrl+Alt+F12345678 key combinations and other programs that might be already running (like firefox and Akregator) don't experience any problems and keep functioning uninterrupted. Sometimes the workspace remains unresponsive indefinitely and in other cases some prodding and left-right click spamming seems to remove the problem in some weird magic way... I usually notice that this freeze has happened after i decide to take a break from browsing with firefox and try to close it thru the 'application control settings' widget. That's when i find out that it's buttons can't be pressed and with an alt+tab to the desktop I see that I can't interact with it in any way. Most of the time i have to reboot my computer through the Ctrl+Alt+F1 terminal...
I also have to mention that i recently started using tumbleweed but the problem was there before that and nothing seems to have changed after the update from the tumbleweed repository.
I installed 8.04 on my EeePC 2005. I use the Windows dual boot option. The netbook's hard drive was factory set with two partitions c and d. Windows XP is on c; I put Ubuntu on d. In Windows, I have both wireless and ethernet (sp?) working fine.In Ubuntu, I have no wireless and no land line. The manual connection wizard pop-up shows no networks anywhere. How can I get Ubuntu connected? Would it be simpler to load another distro like Easy Peasy on top of Ubuntu? Or should I delete Ubuntu and start over? Or is there an easy fix for 8.04?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI could use some help running fsck. My SDA1 appears to be having issues. I cant get my netbook to load.
I popped in a USB drive with Ubuntu on it so I could try to run fsck on it, but I ran into an issue.
According to Ubuntu, this drive is using the "ext3/ext4" file system. I read an online guide for using fsck and it mentioned that I must designate what file system I am running or it will default to ext2 and corrupt my files. So what command should I run so that fsck knows that I have the ext3/ext4 file system?
Also, could someone check to see if the commands I am running are correct (these are starting from the terminal from the USB drive)?
# init 1
# umount /dev/sda1
# fsck.ext3 /dev/sda1
The third command is where I am confused as to what I should type.
I installed USB Startup Disk Creator to a USB Flash Drive from a live 9.10 CD. It booted up OK and of course I ended up with 9.10 on my Netbook. I really want to try the UNR version as a better fit to the 10-inch display. What is the easiest way to switch my Netbook from 9.10 to 9.10 UNR? I sure need a simple and clear approach.
