I am trying to get Ubuntu 11.04 onto this but it says it requires 4.4g of space but the iso is only 700mb. I am not sure but I think the SSD is only 4gb. It wont install because it says it requires 4.4g I know this isn't the case because Ubuntu doesn't take that much space. How do I get it to install?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an EEEpc 1005HAB. It came with windows but loaded Ubuntu. It was the a version called Jaunty I believe. Ironically, when It was installed, everything worked on the NETbook except the NET. After a bunch of google searchs, finally corrected the problem by loading some files (don't remember what they were). Then 9.10 wanted to be installed so I let it. Now the wifi does not work again.
How can I tell what version I have?
How can I see who is out there in wifi land?
This is my first experience with Linux/ubuntu, and it is not very pleasant.
The wifi radio appears to be on as the blue light is on. I did some search's on this forum and one suggestion was to look at the hardware drivers. The list is blank. There were also sudo commands that would 'fix' an install but without wifi, everything failed. A catch 22?
i've a asus eeepc with an Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) with Karmic Koala, my GLX version is 1.2 , is it possible to upgrade in some way to GLX 1.3??
View 3 Replies View RelatedI can't get my Asus Eeepc 1005HA to boot from usb so as to re install Ubuntu. I did it right once - obviously - and now have a malfunctioning dual boot partition. My memory is of having to hit a function key repeatedly once I'd changed the BIOS and restarted the computer. Asus forums all repeatedly give me the same advice - F2 for BIOS, F10 to save settings then it should boot up, but --- nothing --- works.
So. Any additional or creative advice? The computer doesn't have a CD drive. My thumb drive is a Delkin 4gig... are there thumb drives known to work for this operation?
can't understand the whole /dev/sda stuffs ntfs limitation etc.Now my question is, how do i install properly ubuntu w/o killing the f9 recovery mode of eeepc. Cuz incase i want to revert back to windows i can just hit F9 at start up.I want to use the 1st partition as my ubuntu OS then second partition as my extra storage. But i dont know how to set it properly.Should i first change the SDA2 from ntfs to ext3 or 4? or fat 32 file system?then click install now to sda1 ntfsto install the linux and delete the windows xp?What is the Swap part in the partition? do i need it?if i convert the sda2 to ext3 will it still be just the same as fat32?

View 1 Replies View RelatedLast year I installed UNR on my 7yr old daughter eeepc901. It came with XP Home but was always crashing and running slow. Since all she needed it for was browsing childrens sites and the odd email from myself i decided to put something better on there and in the end choose UNR.
Its been running great for, However I have now taken a new where I am now based in Germany. I have set her up with a skype acct and last night we managed a video call for a couple of minuets although I couldnt hear her very well (couldnt figure out how to get her to turn the volume on up her Mic) When I first set skype up i set it to auto login which when ever I used the laptop to test it worked fine.
However as I am now in Germany and not able to really help with the settings The first thing I thought of doing was to upgrade the version of skype her laptop is running. So I can go to skype and downlaod 2.1 beta 2 for linux would this be the correct version?
Also what I need is a set of instructions that I can give to either my 7yr old daughter or her mother (daughter is probably the better of the two with computers)
on how to install the new version. Mum is used to windows where she just double clicks an .exe file and follows the prompts.
Also where would I need them to look in order to get them to turn the mic volume up?
I tried to run Ubuntu 10.10 - Netbook and Ubuntu 10.4 live CDs on my ASUS 901.
Both run well.
But neither reboot after clean install.
After the machines BIOS splash screen there is just a blinking cursor at the left top of the screen. No ubuntu/linux/kernel messages whatsoever.
I tried installing both versions on both SSD-s (4GB & 32GB) and ensured the BIOS was correctly set to boot from the correct one.
I searched the net quite a lot but didn't find anything that could relate to an ASUS 901
I have, in vain, tried to run or install Ubuntu Netbook Edition on an Asus Eeepc 1001PX.I have downloaded ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso and checked its md5sum, set up the installation media to both an USB-stick and a SD memory card using Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.3.exe and the Ubuntu Startup Disk Creator.The Asus already has an Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop which was easily installed using the same procedure.

I have problems installing Ubuntu Netbook Edition (ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso)on Asus eeepc 1001PX. code...
I have tried both Universal-USB-Installer-1.8.3.3.exe and the Ubuntu start up disk creator to prepare my USB-stick.
I have earlier installed the Ubuntu desktop 10.10 on the same machine with the same method without problems.
I'm trying to rebuild an old laptop, EeePc 1001PX and I've issues to boot on the usb on it.
I've followed [URL] .... and the only way I manage to make a usb key that will boot is by hd-media/boot.img.gz:
Code: Select all# zcat boot.img.gz > /dev/sdb
# mount /dev/sdb /media/usb
# cp /tmp/debian-8.4.0-i386-CD-1.iso /media/usb
# sync
# umount /media/usb
I managed to install Debian using this technique to build the usb key.
However I'm having an issue on the laptop with the wifi card (Atheros AR9285) and after a night trying to make it work I'd like to check if I'd would have the same issue Ubuntu.
So I've been desperately trying to make a bootable usb key with Ubuntu on it.... It boots on my laptop but not on this EeePc...
I've tried:
Code: Select allcat /tmp/myimage.iso > /dev/sdb
Code: Select alldd if=/tmp/myimage.iso of=/dev/sdb && sync
I've installed multibootusb [URL] ... and liveUsb install [URL] .... which doesn't work on my EeePc...
Wh only this technique of using is hd-media/boot.img.gz is working on that laptop?
I'd like to try to install Ubuntu via grub using a partition [URL] .... but I need to create 2 partitions and so to boot on a external system.
I've downloaded gparted-live-0.25.0-3-i686.iso but like with Ubuntu I don't manage to create a bootable USB key for this crappy EeePc.
whatever i try to install through the Ubuntu Software Center or through synaptic i get an error "Requires installation of untrusted packages" and it says "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." what am i doing wrong or what settings am i supposed to change?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have used dual boot systems using various versions of windows and Debian for many years and have encountered no problems. However, I have a problem with installing Debian on a EeePC (ASUS PC1201) which uses Winows 7. I can not even get started because I can not understand the information that I have on my hard drive partitions. Windows 7 says that I have the following :

I've been tempted to try the eeebuntu over my Asus eeePC 1005AH and I've been surprised how simple and smooth the installation went, every component and device has been recognized correctly, from the devise manager is possible to turn on and of the WiFi, Bluetooth, webcam, the 6-cell battery provide me the regular 6+ hours, etc. However I can't get in internet. Managing the network connections from the Control Center I have added manually the SSID and security parameters, or I beleive so becasue differently from windows there is no utility that scan the available wifi networks around.

Is it sensible to remove "ureadahead" until this is fixed or is there no harm done? As a normal user ... (yes still I have /var in a separate partition, because I want to be on the safe side with my databases located in /var when reinstalling or upgrading the system ... - by the way: does this make sense or is it better to just have /home separate and use a backup of /var folders?) ... as a normal user I feel a bit lost with bugs like this. It would be nice to get some information somewhere. Something like:
"Don't worry, just wait for an update with a bugfix!"
or
"To avoid further problems just remove 'ureadahead' until it's fixed!"
On a new ASUS eee PC 1015P, the Windows 7 o/s supplied works fine.

I'm trying to set a kickstart DVD for automatically installing Fedora 10 without touching the existing data partitions on our systems. I've got a kickstart file that works great from a kickstart server however I'm having issues with creating an unattended kickstart DVD. I've attached a copy of the kickstart file from the DVD. For some reason even though all the packages we are installing are on the DVD, anaconda always attempts to connected to the internet to get repository information after completing the partitioning. I have changed the install type to 'cdrom' before anyone asks! I have removed my %pre and %post sections as these just copy in some config files and do not touch anything other than local paths.
