Ubuntu Installation :: Asus 1001p 10.10 -> 11.04, Unity Does Not Start
Apr 29, 2011
I have an Asus 1001p (pineview) netbook. I was previously using the Unity interface in 10.10 but, as of the update to 11.04, Unity never loads. I can log into the classic desktop just fine, so X/GDM are working fine. I assume that since I was running Unity before that the pineview graphics are capable of running Unity in 11.04.The very first boot after the upgrade, there was significant disk activity and then it sat there with a black X screen and a working mouse cursor. I let it sit there for about 20 minutes and then I rebooted. On the second boot, I experienced the same thing, except my background was GDM's background.
Ctrl+Alt+F1,2,3,4 wouldn't switch between VCs, but that's not something I ever really do on a netbook so I can't say if it was working before. Are there any logs or anything else I can look at to debug this issue? I didn't monkey around with compiz or anything like that. In fact, it was pretty much a straight-up 10.10 image before I upgraded.

Anyone know if Ubuntu 9.10 or Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 will install and work properly on the new Asus Eee PC 1001P? Mine arrives tomorrow. I searched the forum and was surprised no one else is talking about this hot new netbook. I figured I'd start the thread myself. I'll try installing both Ubuntu and UNR as soon as I can and see how it works out.

Im a newb to ubuntu just wiped my brand new asus 1001p netbook of windwos 7 and put ubuntu netbook remix on it 9.10....Everything works great except the wireless...I know theres probally a billion topics on this, but i just need step by step easdy to follow guide on how to do this...I asked the IT at my work and he claims it cant be done, unless i switch out the internal wireless to a card that "just works", which im not comfortable with or use a usb wireless stick, which defeats the purpose of a netbook being so small....Im sure this can be done so please help me show up a IT that doesnt know linux .BTW the wireless card is a atheros thats all i know..

I just got a new Asus Eee 1001P, and the wireless isn't working at all. I had an Asus EEE 1005HA before that and since both use the AR8132 network card I hoped it would be the same problem as with that, where installing the backports fixed the problem. However, that doesn't do anything. With the 1005HA the connection was only flaky and disconnected a lot, but the 1001P doesn't find any networks to connect to at all. Also, the mobile wireless will connect only once and after disconnecting every attempt to reconnect ends in that connection symbol spinning wildly until I tell the network manager to disconnect. On Kubuntu it doesn't even connect once.I never had that problem with the 1005.
Code:
$ lspci
01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8132 / L1c Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev c0)
02:00.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications Inc. Device 002c (rev 01)

Just got a secondhand Asus EeePC 100P netbook, fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10, and while I can connect to my wireless network and access the router through the browser, I can't connect to the internet. Pinging any other sites, either by domain name or IP, doesn't work. I've tried various things suggested in similar threads (putting in the DNS server info manually, disabling ipv6, restarting about a gazillion times), but nothing's worked so far. (My other computer, a Mac, can connect just fine.)
Attempted to install ndiswrapper, failed miserably, and I'm not sure if that's just for situations where the wifi itself doesn't work?
I'd be very grateful for any suggestions.
Here's what's under Connection Information at the moment:Interface: 802.11 WiFi (wlan0)
Hardware Address: 1C:4B6:85:13:F4
Driver: ath9k
Speed: 1 Mb/s
Security: WEP

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04. Most of the upgrade went well except for one package (mpd). Ubuntu rebooted and went into a sexy-ish minimal grub. I launched Ubuntu, everything went fine. The only thing I can't seem to get working is Unity/Gnome. When I log on with kdm and choose 'default' or Ubuntu Classic, everything loads fine except for the taskbar/whatever interface. (I usually run wmfs instead of kde/gnome and I'm not sure which interface is currently installed right now. I have both kubuntu-desktop and ubuntu. )
I can still, however, right click and see my desktop/desktop icons. The only thing that does not load is the gnome/unity interface itself. I need it to manage my fonts to fix my wmfs fonts that got screwed up. (I'm using a bitmap font and it doesn't work unless I activate whatever settings I have to activate. )
I am not home right now and this was written on a phone. I apologize if this whole post seems confusing/total blabber. edit: Ubuntu Classic works fine, but Ubuntu/Default does not automatically launc the Unity interface.

I installed 11.04 on a Dell inspiron 1420. When I logged in I got an error message (lack of hw) so Gnome was loaded. Then I installed the nVidia drivers. Now, how do I start unity ? If I select "ubuntu" in the splash screen I still get Gnome.

Version: 11.04 (At least that's what the About Linux file tells me)
Graphics Card: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS/GME, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
System: Dell Netbook. Nothing remotely fancy.
After a night of trying to adjust the graphics settings to work with a reasonable game, I powered down for a few days and went hiking in the woods. Never got the game to work, but I had no problem restarting X and continuing to work. Thus, I assumed nothing was wrong. The only real change was the installation of DRIConf. Upon my return, I started up only to see my desktop background image load, and no GUI. No cursor, no Unity, nothing. When I boot up in recovery mode, GNOME seems to work perfectly fine. If I open DRIConf, though, it says that no devices can be found that are capable of direct rendering. My glxinfo output is below (clearly indicating that direct rendering is working). I assume there's a relationship between these problems. I just switched to Ubuntu a few months ago and am obviously a bit beyond my depth.
name of display: :1.0
display: :1 screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: SGI
server glx version string: 1.4
server glx extensions: .....

I can start a Terminal window from the Unity launcher (Ubuntu 11.04). But how do I get a second instance of a program in the launcher, whether Netbeans, Terminal windows, whatever? This article on Unity [URL] says you should click the middle mouse button.

I've recently upgraded a laptop of mine from 10.10 to 11.04 (Natty), and am having a few issues with it. I don't know how many of these are related to using Unity and how many are just due to the upgrade, but one of the main bugbears is keyboard shortcuts. I have always set the F12 key so that it opens a terminal window. I did this through the settings > Keyboard Shortcuts interface, but although I can (apparently) set this in Unity, it doesn't work. The setting is there, listed, but pressing F12 doesn't open a terminal. Neither does it if I set it to any other key.
I can create a new entry, to start xterm with F12, which works fine but this isn't quite the same as a terminal (it appears different on screen.) I also discover that CTRL+ALT+T doesn't open a terminal window either (as is suggested in a very useful list here: [URL] Have I missed something? Or am I being thick? (Quite possible ... )

Recently Banshee won't start up all the way. If I just start it from the Unity launcher I get a blank white screen which will eventually stop responding. If I run Banshee from a terminal I get this output:

The Ubuntu software Centre says it's installed (provided by Ubuntu), but if I pick "Applications" from the launcher it's absolutely not there.
I'm keen to stick with Unity (for a while at least, to give it a fair try) but this has been driving me mad for a while.

1. I didn't like the icon theme and changed it to Ubuntu Mono Light. But is there a way to get the Min/Max/Close buttons to how they are in Radiance when maximized, or is that dependant on something else?
2. Is there a way to disable the Unity dock, but not the Unity feature where the Min/Max/Close go into the command bar?

Ubuntu 10.04 on Asus Eee/901. I am in Italy running through the college network proxy. I have defined the system-wide proxy and everything looks good. However none of the Linux software packages update (Synaptic, Ubuntu centre and for that matter, Thunderbird) they seem to ignore the Proxy and its required authentication - needless to say, I cannot update/download important packages/updates. System Proxy seems OK because Firefox is working but that's the only one.

Greetings beloved Linux users. I had grown accustomed to using Ubuntu on my laptop for the longest time when a nasty virus screwed up my boot sectors on my HP Desktop. I finally bought a nicer computer with Windows 7 back in November of 2010, but I'm having difficulties trying to install Ubuntu onto it. Here are some specs:
Model: Asus CM5571 Desktop PC 64-bit
Processor: Intel Pentium E5400 / 2.7 GHz Dual-Core (yes, a Pentium)
RAM: 6 GB DDR3 SDRAM
Graphics: Intel GMA X4500 Dynamic Video Memory Technology 5.0
Sound Card: Intel HD Audio
I'll be willing to provide more if needed So, I started off trying to load the Ubuntu 10.04 CD I received from the free shipping service off of the Ubuntu website, and that would not boot. It seemed to hang after trying to scan my 500 GB external. So I unplugged that,rebooted, and it seemed to hang on my USB hub. I unplug that, rebooted, and it hangs after trying to making "calls" or something to devices. Not sure at all what is going on there.
I figured I might need a 64-bit edition so I go to the website and burn an ISO of Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. The same thing happens. I then begin experimenting with the boot options (acpi=off, etc.) and none of that seems to work either. Out of desperation, I find an old 8.04 CD and try to boot from that. It gets past the loading bar but boots into BusyBox only.

Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.

I had windows XP and Ubuntu installed on my Asus 1000HE and the hard drive is failing so I need to RMA it. They told me to restore it to factory defaults which I just press F9 at boot 3 time and Ghost takes over and reformats, creates 2 partitions and installs XP on one of the and the other is for another OS or just storage if needed.
I did that now I get a grub rescue prompt when I boot my netbook. Is there a way that grub installed itself to my PE partition that's a hidden partition that came with the netbook? I've taken the drive out of the netbook and put it into my desktop and formatted both main partitions but not the restore one. Yet I still get the grub rescue prompt, how can that be?? I can't even boot from flash drive or get to bios it just goes straight to the rescue.I need to send the netbook back but can't unless its restored. Right now I'm on the 9.10 live flash drive I made on my desktop and my only hard drive attached it the netbooks.

I don't speak english very well so forgive my grammar errors ! Well, my problem is: I'm installing Ubuntu 9.04 in my netbook Asus 1000Ha EeePc. I'm installing that version because I had downloaded it some time before and I didn't want to download again.
I've created a bootable USB with UnetBootin from Windows XP. Installation is perfect until I try to create a new partition. I mean, I want a dual boot with Windows and I've edited a NTFS partition to get free space (30 Gb). This free space is not formatted. When I put the cursor on the free space, "New partition" button is disabled. That means, that I can't create swap or none of the required partitions I need to install ubuntu.
There is more, I used the same version of the installer in a CD when I installed Ubuntu in my desktop computer. There were no problems and installation worked! Now, I have 30 Gb of free space that Windows can't see... and I can't edit it for Ubuntu... Does anybody know how to solve this? I really want to install ubuntu because I need it for University.

When booting from the netbook USB, there are two wireless connection stages:
the first appears at the "TRY/INSTALL" selection screen, and after supplying the keyring password, the connection appears to succeed.
the second appears on the desktop, after selecting "TRY"; the keyring dialogue appears & seems to work, but then the network login dialogue pops up, and refuses to connect.
Both my Acer machines connect to the same AP under Maverick and the EEE PC works in Lucid.

I used this laptop since 8.4. When first 10.10 beta arrived I decided to upgrade as usual. all seemed to go well. At reboot the computer was hanging after grub, with a blinking cursor on top left. Then was turning off and had getting into a weird hung mode. Was not possible to start it over. The only solution was unplug, take battery off and wait for a minute. Now with the official 10.10 I decided to install it over. But the live CD start right after the first screen. Again with the blinking cursor and angs the machine again. Windows works perfectly as well as all Ubuntu, including 10.4

I 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?

I'm struggling to know where to look for a problem. A newly upgraded machine uses the following main parts:
Asus M4A88TD-M EVO/USB3 motherboard
AMD Phenom II X2 560 processor
4GB Crucial high speed memory
Onyx OCZ 32 GB SSD
Every attempt at installing Ubuntu 10.10 fails with a message about copying from the CD to the disk. The CD has been burned again, and can be run as a live CD on a different machine. The motherboard has had the BIOS upgraded to the latest version. Swapping the Onyx OCZ SSD for a Seagate Barracuda 320 GB (taken from a working system) fails in the same way, although it takes a little longer.
A basic install of Windows XP worked, apparently without problem. Running the Ubuntu 10.10 live CD does not work properly - attempting to start Firefox causes a message to appear in the bottom bar saying it is starting, but it disappears again without Firefox actually starting. (Works OK with the same CD on an older machine).
