Ubuntu 8.10 on Acer Aspire One

Hi very good, along with my Experiments with New Notebook
my daughter Ana, a: Acer Aspire On
and . After settling
Debian Lenny (the pudeis see in the link) in the team could not resist the temptation to try the same thing but this time with the new Ubuntu 8.1o (interpid Ibex) The truth was not bad running under Ubuntu but I stick with the Debian Installation on that part of being my favorite distribution, performance is much better for me. Curiosity
As I will say that Installed Debian on a PowerBook
, Linux also has optimal performance. Step
summarize the characteristics of this team:

Model: Acer Aspire One A150


1100 Processor: Intel Atom N270 (1.6GHz / 512KB, L2/533MHz FSB). Express Chipset Intel ® 945GSE Speed: 1.6 GHz

:
3 USB ports, Webcam, DVD Card 5 in 1 card reader and SD Storage Expansion Card Reader

Battery:

Operating System: Windows XP Home Edition
Color: blue .
Weight: 995 Grams
Size: 249 (width) x 170 (D) x 29 (H) mm.
ATTENTION:
IF IN DISGRACE
some and you lose all your data in this Aspire One WEB:
Ftp://ftp.work.acer-euro.com/netbook/aspire_one_110/
get back all the software necessary to restore your equipment.
Well, we started with the installation, depending from where the make,
from a Pendrive or from an external DVD , because if you noticed in
features of the Aspire One, this lacks drive because of its size.
Note of Interest:
may use an earlier version of Ubuntu, however, I recommend the version 8.10, the version of the kernel that it brings.
Acer Aspire One use a card reader JMicron chipset jmb38x
, which begins to be incorporated into the Linux kernel from version 2.6.25.
the new Ubuntu 8.10
, correctly recognizes the integrated card reader.
The first thing we will be acquiring Ubuntu, you can download Get Ubuntu ISO image format.


Install via USB : need a pendrive (
1Gb \u200b\u200bminimum) and download the

unetbootin . We opened it, we mark ISO disk image and select the ubuntu you downloaded earlier. Below select USB Drive and letter of the Unit. Done. OK and wait for it to generate a
Ubuntu Live USB.

To Create a Self

Pendrive Bootable , look HERE

Install via external CD: This is the option I chose. The Acer Aspire One allows us to boot from an external CD reader. If you have an external DVD reader, you can "Fabricarte"

one yourself with a drive enclosure drive (IDE must be ). and a DVD to the task.
Whatever our choice, launch the ultra-portable, press F12
    (Menu Boot Device Selection) and select the media from where we started.
  • install Ubuntu as explained in This

  • Entry and then started the Configuration of all Team Hardware:

  • wireless card configuration .
  • Debian default we install the module ath5k
    which detects the card but does not work.
To make it work we must do the following:

Open a console and become root
  • . julian @ aspire: ~ $ su - Password

  • :

NOTE:

For Release the Aspire One with Windows XP, this step is not needed. now removed the module loaded: root @ aspire: ~ # rmmod ath5k
Is done, place the module ath5k

in the list of modules you do not want to load. To do this edit the file / etc / modprobe.d / blacklist and add the following line at the end of the file: blacklist ath5k

The above steps ARE ONLY FOR TEAMS WITH LINUX (Linpus) for Owners Aspire One with Windows XP, follow the following steps:



to connect to the Internet, follow the steps listed in this
input.
To enable the LED
add the WIFI
following two lines to the end of
/ etc / sysctl.conf
. root @ aspire: ~ #
gedit / etc / sysctl.conf



dev.wifi0.softled dev.wifi0.ledpin = 3 = 1 effect is that when traffic via wireless network, the LED flashes.
would include the following lines at the beginning of the file
/ etc / rc.local
(booting linux), which combines the operation of the special key-switch is below the LED:

root @ aspire : ~ # gedit

/ Etc / rc.local

añadimo And the following lines:

/ usr / bin / setkeycodes e055 159
/ usr / bin / setkeycodes e056 158 this serves to set the wireless card.


Fan Control newly installed Ubuntu 8.10 not familiar with the specifications of the Aspire One internal fan, so it runs all the time. This is not a problem at the time of ventilation, but it is when the noise and / or the constant use of it. to fix it, we istalamos dmidecode and download packages acer_ec.pl

and
acerfand . 1 .- install dmidecode
with APT

(in my case, is already installed):



julian @ aspire: ~ $
sudo apt-get install dmidecode

[sudo] password for julian :

downloaded
and
acer_ec.pl acerfand
.

julian @ aspire: ~ $ wget http://aceracpi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/acer_ec/acer_ec.pl

- 17:19:03 - http://aceracpi.googlecode.com / svn / trunk / acer_ec / acer_ec.pl

Now change the permissions and Copy and acer_ec.pl acerfand
in the Directory / usr / local / bin /:

julian @ aspire: ~ $ sudo chmod a + x acerfand
julian @ aspire: ~ $ sudo cp acer_ec.pl acerfand / usr / local / bin /

Once again, edit the startup file / Etc / rc.local and add the principle line:
/ usr / local / bin / acerfand
julian @ aspire: ~ $
sudo gedit / etc / rc.local and add
:

/ usr / local / bin / acerfand


effect is that the fan control always start at boot ultraportable.

But to have a better configuration create a file in / etc / acerfand.conf where you add the following:
julian @ aspire: ~ $ sudo gedit / etc / acerfand.conf

and add:
INTERVAL = 5

FANOFF = 50

FANAUTO = 55

With this step to ensure that every 5 seconds
checked the temperature inside the laptop.

If more than 70 º C will activate the fan. If it drops to 60 º C then turns off.


Atom processors may work up to 99 º C.



Graphics Card and Window Manager.

Set card readers.

The Aspire One has two card slots reading. The first, Storage Expansion, which allows you to insert a card SDHC
, increasing hard disk capacity. This device is in / dev/mmcblk0
and is automatically detected by Ubuntu.

However, the second a multi-card reader, located in / dev/mmcblk1 does not load automatically when you insert a. To do this, as root user
add the following lines at end of file:
/ etc / modprobe.d / blacklist


julian @ aspire: ~ # gedit / etc / modprobe. d / blacklist


blacklist blacklist jmb38x_ms
memstick

Edit the file: / etc/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules
.

julian @ aspire: ~ # gedit / etc/udev/rules.d/80-drivers.rules
and comment the following line File:

SUBSYSTEM == "memstick", RUN + = "/ sbin / modprobe - all ms_block mspro_block"
to make it this way:
# UBSYSTEM == "memstick" , RUN + = "/ sbin / modprobe - all ms_block mspro_block"
Now
Open the file / etc / sysctl.conf and add end, the following line
julian @ aspire: ~ # gedit / etc / sysctl.conf setpci-d 197b: 2381 AE = 47


IMPORTANT:
One trick to make them work the cards inserted into the slots, is that when we fire the Equipped we have inserted the cards into these slots, so that when you finish booting Debian
and open our meeting user, we remove and reinsert and will mounted automatically. 4 .- Ethernet card.

energy saving
The Ubuntu wiki for Aspire One, we find this recommendation: These lines, make the system as needed processor consumption, adjust the fan speed between 800MHz and 1600MHz
, consuming less energy when we are not doing any chore. Introduces them one by one.

Note: In Command "echo>" create a content file that precedes the command and the file that ends.

debian: ~ #
echo ondemand> / sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
debian: ~ # echo ondemand> / sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor


debian: ~ #
cat / sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate_max> / sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate
debian: ~ # echo 1500> / proc / sys / vm / dirty_writeback_centisecs


debian: ~ #
echo 20> / proc / sys / vm / dirty_ratio
debian: ~ # echo 10> / proc / sys / vm / dirty_background_ratio

debian: ~ #
echo 1> / sys / devices / system / cpu / sched_smt_power_savings
debian: ~ # echo 10> / sys / module / snd_hda_intel / parameters / power_save


debian: ~ #
echo 5> / proc / sys / vm / laptop_mode
And this time with respect to USB. Performs an energy saving when not in use any USB device.


julian @ aspire: ~ #

Well as you see view
Installing and configuring Ubuntu 8.10


in
Acer Aspire One is not more complicated than any other installation.
As it happens from time to time our equipment after a Installing GNU / Linux lose some functions not getting the support all the hardware available, but that does not mean that GNU / Linux cause this fact, otherwise.
All these incompatibilities are caused by the lack of drivers or information to create
Drivers for GNU / Linux,
by hardware manufacturers.
But this is not the case of Acer Aspire One since I have not noticed the lack of any working fine now.

A GREETING.
