Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Install 10.10 On Acer Aspire

Mar 3, 2011

I have been attempting to install Ubuntu 10.10 on my Acer Aspire One for a few days now. Its current OS is Win7 Starter, if that even matters.

-I made a USB drive and Ubuntu boots and runs just fine.

-I hit the "install Ubuntu" icon and it has me choose my language, then I hit forward.

-It asks if I want to install updates and/or third party apps, I check the boxes and hit forward - and then it just sits there with the cursor spinning like its trying to do something, but it never does. The longest I have let it sit there was four hours, and still nothing happened.

**This is the step it always stops on. Could the problem be that I am trying to install the desktop version instead of the netbook version? I tried the netbook version and I just don't like it as much.

Fedora Installation :: F13 Unable To Boot Install DVD On Acer Aspire 5738Z

Jul 23, 2010

I have F11 running on my Acer laptop and I'd like to install F13 on a newly created partition.I have downloaded the DVD install a couple of days ago and tried to boot it using different options, but always failed. Below my attempts:

1) first option (Install or upgrade): it took a looooong time (like 4 or 5 hours) to get to the Loading vmlinuz message; after a couple more hours it was still there (with 4 or 5 dots more) and I decided that enough was enough;

2) second option (basic video driver): I tried it with and without the nomodeset option and in both cases the Loading vmlinuz message was immediate, but couldn't get past it;

3) first option (Install or upgrade) with the nomodeset option: again the Loading vmlinuz message was immediate, it added up to 10 or 11 dots and then hung;

4) I also tried to boot the same DVD on another laptop (just to rule out media problems) and quickly reached the first install screen, so the DVD is ok I think.

Note that in ALL the above described attempts, when the boot process hang I see my HD led constantly on and also the DVD led flashing.

Ubuntu Installation :: Unable To Hybernate On Acer Aspire 5730z

Feb 27, 2010

When trying to hybernate the system tries to prepare to hybernation but when it is going to complete the operations it does not hybernate but finally suspends.

note that it is not exactly the same as choosing to suspend. In fact, it seems to me that when choosing to hybernate the system is unable to do it and consequently it chooses "at least" to suspend.

Ubuntu 9.10 fresh install
Kernel 2.6.31-19-generic
~$ lspci | grep Graphics
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset

[Code].....

Fedora Installation :: How To Install Epson DX8450 Printer On Acer Aspire One?

Mar 6, 2009

I wonder if you can help me please. I purchased an Acer Aspire One netbook running Linpus Linux on it for my daughter. She absolutely love it and so far I have managed to update Open Office to Open Office 3.0.1, installed Skype and installed Firefox 3.She has been doing her homework and would like to print it off but I can't get my Epson DX8450 to work with it. I tried installing drivers from http://www.avasys.jp/lx-bin2/linux_e/spc/DL1.do (which is where Epson tell you to go). I installed some drivers and the printer started to print it was doing some strange things like printer two lines of the same single line, missing the top off the letters and putting two line spaces in between each line.

I am all new to this but does anybody advice or even provide step by step instructions on how to install the printer (if they have this model printer themselves).Also how to I remove the drivers that I installed last night that obviously are incompatible?

General :: Unable To Set Desktop Effects On Acer Aspire 3000

Mar 18, 2011

I recently installed ubuntu 10.10 on my aspire 3000 and everything seemed to work just fine... until I tried to activate desktop effects. tu put it simple, it just don't work. I checked and doubled-checked the lsmod | head to make sure that my drivers (sisfb / sis_drv.so) were installed and loaded. they were. I then made sure that my pc was opengl-supporting (Glxinfo | grep "direct rendering". The answer was positive. With that in mind, I tried many different ways to run compiz(compiz --replace, appearance-desktop effect, run app-compiz) but neither if these gave any results.

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 On An Acer Aspire AM3920?

Jul 15, 2011

I've got an Acer Aspire AM3920 (Intel Core i5) Desktop PC. I want to upgrade my Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat to Natty Narwhal, but it just isn't working. I've tried to upgrade two times, both resulting in a crash while installing. When I try to install it from a Live CD, I'm getting a black screen and when I press a key in the purple screen of the Live CD and select nomodeset, it doesn't work either. So my question is: Is it possible to install/run Ubuntu 11.04 on this PC?

Fedora :: Install 12 On An Acer Aspire AMD 64 2 With 1 GB Of Memory?

Jan 9, 2010

I am trying to install Fedora 12 on an Acer Aspire AMD 64 2 with 1 GB of memory.

I downloaded the Fedora 12 live CD Fedora-12-X86_64-ISO.

When I try to boot from that CD, I get a message "irq 17 too bust" and the system hangs before finishing the boot process. So I have very little to go on.

Ps. I previously installed Kubuntu 9.1 without any problems.

Ubuntu :: Acer Aspire 5100 Uses A Broadcom LAN - Install The Firmware

May 12, 2011

After loading Ubuntu 10.10 on an Acer Aspire 5100, I find that the onboard LAN does not work. My router "sees" the laptop but my laptop does not "see" the router. Ubuntu says that the firmware is not installed.

I read earlier posts about an issue with Broadcom and later editions of Ubuntu but I haven't seen a definitive fix. With the LAN not working, it is not possible to connect to the Internet and further compounds the problem. My understanding is that the Acer Aspire 5100 uses a Broadcom LAN. How can I install the firmware that it is asking for?

Ubuntu Installation :: Acer Aspire Blank Screen?

Jun 12, 2011

I'm working through this issue with my Acer Aspire 5336-2524. Blank screen, can't see anything after reboot.

(Display=Mobile Intel (R) 4 series express chipset family)

Enter;'msinfo32.exe' in the search programs and files box. Open it up after search finds it. You'll then be able to see BIOS version. Go to Acer support and update BIOS if needed. I needed to and so far the result has been that I'm not able to see the install of Ubuntu, butttt,cannot see it after going through all the start up, up to the point where the desktop page should be, then blank screen again.

I'll come back with results.I also am thinking about updating video driver too. (Tried but said it was up to date)Additional (6-14-11@7:36PM) So far by updating BIOS I was able to view ubuntu long enough to install, but couldn't view fully loaded OS (as in couldn't see desktop). As mentioned by foresthill, plugging an external monitor into the laptop allows me to see everything on the external monitor. Ahhh, sweet progress! Waiting for reply from foresthill about exactly what they did in grub for a permanent fix.Additional Two: FYI: Xubuntu 10.10 runs great on the laptop. But no wifi (I cannot remember if I updated and ran across broadcom driver install as 10.04.2 did)

Finial Update: I Installed ubuntu 10.04.2, which had no problems with screen, couldn't use wireless until I update and then a note poped up about broadcom driver which I allowed to install, now I have a fully functional ubuntu. Someone recommended using "LTS" versions for initial install, then go from there if you want to try different versions. I'll wait for the LTS before messing around, just glad to finally get a fully functioning ubuntu!

General :: Acer Aspire One D255e - N57 And Ubuntu Installation?

Jun 5, 2011

The acer netbook D255e - N57 comes with a factory installed linux OS but Acer reps seem unable to fully instal Ubuntu 10.1 or 10.04. Even linux lite lacked the drivers to run several things. Is it possible to do this??? If it can be fully installed I will definitely go for a new cyber life with linux but if not I may have to remain a thrall to bill gates and go for a Eee PC netbook instead.

General :: Ubuntu 10.10 Installation On Acer Aspire 3000?

Mar 12, 2011

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a Laptop Acer Aspire 3000 everything works perfect... excluding.... the Wireless Networks.

1. I cannot check marked Enable Wireless
2. Wireless Network disabled

The driver is installed when I installed Ubuntu 10.10 it asked me to install this. Is not a problem of driver I think. It is a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312

I found out the following:
1. I tried rfkill unblock all with negative results
2. rfkill list phy0: Wireless LAN, Soft blocked: no, Hard blocked: yes
3. look in the file system: NetworkingEnabled=true, WirelessEnabled=false, WWANEnabled=true

Is this really not supported by Ubuntu ?? username: melfrimarlyne e-mail: ferris@sowerseed.aw

OpenSUSE Install :: Can't Get X To Start On Acer Aspire 5100

Dec 21, 2009

Had the RC versions of 11.2 running on my laptop but now the release version is out X no longer installs properly, it gets so far through the installation but then goes to a black screen which is totally unresponsive. If I force a power-off/on it only comes up in text mode and I cannot get X to start automatically. I can get startx to work if I manually reconfigure sax2 using 0=radeon but no way can I get this to happen at startup. Seems a very retrograde situation and something that completely got past quality control.

Probably the end of my time with OpenSuse having been a user for over 5 years, at least Ubuntu installs straight in with no problems whatsoever - exactly what I would have expected from OpenSuse.

Ubuntu Installation :: Acer Aspire 5610 Random Shut-off

Apr 22, 2010

I have an Acer Aspire 5610 and since installing Ubuntu 9.10, the computer tends to shutdown by itself while I'm using it. Does this happen to anyone else? I would like to know what's causing this so I can either fix/solve it. I never had this problem on Ubuntu 9.04, 8.10 or 8.04. Checking the system log file viewer hasn't given me any clues to what's causing this. I just know the issue started when I installed 9.10.

Ubuntu Installation :: Acer Aspire 5732Z Black Screen On 11.04?

Apr 29, 2011

Is there a problem with Intel video cards and 11.04? I have tried upgrading and using a live CD and live USB with the same results on this notebook. After upgrading or booting off live CD/USB, I see a black screen, not lit. I can here the login prompt and when I press [Enter] and type my password I hear the Ubuntu theme which means everything is up, but still have a black screen. If I try to go to a console, I am still working with a black screen. Yikes ... I know my Live CD is ok, because it boots fine on my Lenovo S10-3 netbook.

Upgraded from Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit, live CD is 11.04 32 bit. Hardware: Acer Aspire 5732Z with Intel Mobile 4 series chipset integrated graphics controller (rev 09) and 3Gb ram.

Ubuntu Installation :: Flashing Bios In Acer Aspire 5720?

Jul 8, 2011

flashing the BIOS in my Acer Aspire 5720z. Issue is that fan won't switch on since update to Natty and so laptop overheats and shuts down. I know the risks and I'm pretty sure these issues are BIOS related so I am wanting to do it. The file from Acer is BIOS_v1.45.exe file and can be further extracted. Files are InsydeFlash.exe, iscflash.dll, iscflash.sys, platform.ini, CL50145A.fd, iscflashx64.sys. I have tried a few different methods and the closest I have come is creating a Dos Boot Disc with .exe file on it (although during creating it said there was no more space for .exe file but seemed to work ok)I can then boot into dos and find .exe file but it says file cannot be executed in DOS.

Ubuntu Installation :: Acer Aspire 5515 Laptop - Vista Booting From CD?

Feb 25, 2010

I have tried the following techniques to try and boot from CD on my Acer Aspire 5515 laptop: Change SATA information to Native in BIOS. Set the Boot order for the CD/DVD Drive to start first, along with Main driver starting second.

INFORMATION

My laptop is an Acer Aspire 5515.
BIOS Version is V1.0 (latest) from Acer.
PhoenixBIOS bios (?).

I have still not been successfully able to boot from CD. No matter if it says to boot from CD/DVD Drive first, it skips on to Main driver and starts Windows. It's not because I didn't burn the .ISO image right, because it worked on my desktop, which is ALSO an Acer, an Acer Aspire T180. What I am trying to do, is install Windows XP Professional, and dual-boot it with my Windows Vista. Only thing is, it WON'T boot from CD.

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.10 Acer Aspire One Fail - Resize The Windows 7 (dreadful OS)?

Nov 6, 2010

I tried to install ubuntu 10.10 NBR on an acer aspire one and the install crashed, it is a known problem but my main problem is that the 250gb SATA is partitioned in two and then i deleted linux swap and the ubuntu 10.10 partition to make free space.

a) how can i resize the windows 7 (dreadful OS) to what size it originally was
b) if i install an older version of ubuntu (10.04) will it boot up as if i chose the partition alongside other OS or will i have to install a bootloader (I have never done a specify partitions install)
C) is it that acer aspire one's cant load any version of ubuntu (I know a mad idea as ubuntu has many drivers and should work with it.)

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 - No Menu / Icons After Upgrade (Acer Aspire 5516)

May 9, 2011

I've been running Ubuntu on one of my old notebooks (Acer Aspire 5516) for the past two years. My problem started when I tried to upgrade to 11.04 64 bit. The installation seemed to go fine, but when I restarted to finish, after I would log in all I would see is the background with no menus or anything. I tried doing a fresh install and seeing if that helped, but it didn't. I had to downgrade back to 10.10. Does anyone know if 11.04 works at all on the Acer Aspire 5516 or a similar model? Even at 32 bit?
