I'll probably be taking my netbook up to Lucid here in a few days. My question is if I should bother with the Netbook Edition or just get the standard edition? Are there any packages in the netbook edition that can help with processing, power, etc on a netbook? More importantly, can the special netbook desktop be turned off in favor of the standard UI?

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?

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.
Why i cant change from 800x480 to 1024x600, that this model of EEE pc doesnt support anything higher than 800x480 at the 10:1 ratio...

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...
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've upgraded the generic kernel of my Xubuntu Karmic AMD64 persistent USB installation with the ubuntustudio realtime kernel (2.6.31.9.10).

I wanted to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.10 on my Netbook, which is a HP Mini 210. I created an USB-Stick to boot from (with UltraISO, because the USB-creator which is delivered in the Ubuntu image does not work well somehow). I created bootable USB-Sticks with UltraISO before so I don't think I did anything wrong there.
BUT: The installation does not even start. When I turn the power on I get this message:
"Start booting from USB device. SYSLINUX 2.84 2009-12-18 EBIOS Copyright (c) 1994-2009 H. Peter Anvin et al" Then a blinking cursor... but nothing more. It doesn't matter how long I wait, nothing happens. Even though the cursor is blinking, I cannot write anything. All I can do is to turn the power off.
So I don't even get the installation menu... what is the problem? Any idea?
PS: I'm a beginner to Linux / Ubuntu

View 9 Replies View RelatedI created a bootable flash drive using Ubuntu's instructions on their netbook website. However, when I try to boot from USB after setting the BIOS accordingly, it still boots to windows. When I choose Boot Options Menu, which should just let me pick USB, only "Netbook Harddrive" is listed.
It seems that the USB actually isn't bootable or something. (Running Windows 7 Starter now)

View 9 Replies View RelatedOn the Ubuntu website, under the alternate downloads, there is a link for 11.04 netbook torrent download but clicking on the link gives an "unobtainable" message. On the "error" page, Chromium provided a link to the ubuntu page with all the 11.04 versions and checking through those there is not a netbook version.
Does this mean that there will be no netbook version of 11.04 and the desktop version will be OK on a netbook or is it simply that it is not available yet? I am intending to upgrade my current Acer Aspire One to 11.04 and am considering a clean install rather than upgrading via the update manager. I have downloaded the desktop version just in case.
I've just installed 8.04. and I was googling on the net and saw that there's a more new version 9.10 is it? So I tried following the guide on [url]

I think there might be a thread already open for talking about 10.10 but I am creating this thread anyways.
The upgrade is going faster than when i first did the upgrade earlier this month.I am testing Ubuntu 10.10 on a computer with a 1.6Ghz AMD 64 processor.It has 3 GB ram and a 500GB hard drive. 128 MB video ram.
Note: This is The emachines EL 1200-06w I am using a Belkin wireless card which is only able to be used with the help of Windows Wireless Drivers (ndiswrapper).
I plan to report bugs in launchpad. Last time, Ubuntu could not start after an update. Now, I am risking down time by using the Alpha version again. I am installing by going to: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal In Terminal, I enter in
Code:
sudo update-manager -d and then it asks for a password to open update manager. Then it shows the upgrade is available. I am still at the process of upgrading the computer. I am running Ubunut 10.04 32 bit at the moment.
UPDATE: I didn't need ndiswrapper, and I am able to now use Natty, where it works as it should.
