Acer Aspire One

Aperculum · 2008-10-10 09:58:57

Hello,
I'm having trouble using the 2.6.27 build. It fails to even find my sd/mmc-card readers and as the left one if dedicated for my home directory, it fails at boot. Anyone else have this problem, should I change some config between 2.6.26.5 and 2.6.27 builds?

ichbinesderelch · 2008-10-10 10:56:47

i had a file system corruption on my sd-card, left one, using gothicknights 2.6.27 kernel, i'm right now compiling it myself using the pkg build, hopefully that one works.

This happened using the late 2.6.27 build? If it is, this is serious issue. If this is indeed the case, you can use for now the 2.6.26, or thomasd build until the issue is found.

Late this day I'll try to download & install the kernel and post back the results.

ichbinesderelch · 2008-10-10 11:43:48

yes, this happened using the late 2.6.27, i downloaded and installed it today. i just finished compiling thomasd build, so gonna try that one!

Well, if you use the 2.6.27-rc6 version....
<and very good instructions followed>

Great, thanks alot for the instructions!
Just installed your compiled kernel and everything is working smoothly so far.

ichbinesderelch · 2008-10-10 17:35:02

i compiled the 2.6.27 kernel with all the powerotp options(other config from thomasd) enabled and having so far no kernel panics or anything like that. works great so far

Good to hear that it works for you.
What I did was to import gothicknights 2.6.27-rc6 config into "make xconfig" and saved it, diffed both and saw that there were no structural changes. So my config is exactly the same as the one from gothicknights 2.6.27-rc6 build.

Hey guys

I need a little help here

I'm trying to setup an Arduino Decimila board on my Acer Aspire One

I've followed these instructions on how to setup the Arduino IDE

http://regomodoslinux.blogspot.com/2007 … linux.html

did this

gpasswd -a <user> uucp

My problem is when I load the IDE it is not allowing me to access the board via the "USB Serial Port"

The Arduino guide at their website states

"You will also need a compatible kernel. For example, it needs USB serial support with the FTDI driver."

I'm stumped at this part?

The reason I'm asking in here is because I'm using "2.6.27-one"

Thanks!

EDIT:

Forgot to mention if I load the standard 26-ARCH I am able to access the board via the "USB Serial Port"

Hi again.

It seems I've posted a modified Kconfig package I was working on, sorry about that

The new one is already online http://clientes.netvisao.pt/gtknight/ke … pkg.tar.gz

Please also update the AUR, I want to learn from your work. Thanks!

Gothicknight: after updating from the 2.6.26 kernel to your latest, my wireless stopped working. I had compiled the madwifi testing myself and it worked under the .26 kernel. I removed madwifi and updated to your latest, updating both my rc.conf and my wicd config to reflect the changes. ath0 is now wlan0, and it is recognized by wicd and at the command line, but a scan reveals no networks. Any idea what is up?

Did you try to connect to a known network? I am also having trouble scanning for networks, but so far I have no problems connecting to networks.

I saw one interesting thing regarding scanning for networks.
If I do a "iwlist wlan0 scanning" as my regular user I only get one accesspoint as a result.
If I issue the same command as root I get 18 accesspoints as result and that is far more realstic.

Any thoughts one why the results differ between root and an unpriviliged user?

gothicknight · 2008-10-12 00:58:52

Let's see...

I can connect to my own WPA2-PSK wireless using only networkmanager, that simply connected to the wifi without asking nothing but the key to unlock the gnome keyring.

As for scanning, I've not tried it in a intensive wireless environment (>5 APs?) so, AFAIK scanning also works without problems for me (only 3 today at the mall).
Regarding the superuser scan giving more results, it must be a driver issue that I'm completely unaware, and again, I'm using networkmanager in a daily use, so I don't really need to go CLI on that, mobility is kind of a big issue for me.

I'll post the PKGBUILD and config when I get into my work laptop as I make all builds on it, as it's far better then on the Aspire One

Running "iwlist scan" as a regular user only displays the results from the last scan performed as root. In order to obtain up-to-date scan results, "iwlist scan" must be run again as root. See the iwlist(8) manpage for details.

somehow with the 2.6.27 kernel the wlan led doesn't blink anymore, nothing of a big deal but just wanna mention it

Determination · 2008-10-13 17:21:11

yeah, I've noticed the LED issue also. To be honest, it annoyed me.

sessy · 2008-10-13 17:35:42

Is it possibe to use a 16:9 TV as a second display via the VGA port plugged into the RGB ports of the TV?

don't know who may edit your AA1-wiki-site (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One) so I'll post this right in here:

(*) the mentioned xorg.conf parameter "DisplaySize" is calculated wrong - if it's really supposed to be set to 96dpi

---(snip)---
DisplaySize 195 113 # Sets the correct DPI (96 x 96)
---(snap)---

no big surprise - this setting will not set 96dpi at 1024x600... the proper values would be more like:
DisplaySize 271 159

value = pixels * 25.4 / dpi
(reference: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xor … ize.2FDPI)

i guess with this fixed - it wouldn't be necessary to modify ~/.xserverrc or ~/.Xdefaults anymore.

hated the LED as well, always made me kinda nervous

Do I still need to install cpufrequtils package to enable power management WITH kernel26-ONE? Some required modules are definitely not compiled as modules. So, the cpufreq daemon is not working.

What should I do?

BTW, how did you guys resolve the "no sound after suspend" issue with the lasted kernel26-one?

"snd-hda-intel.model=acer" in GRUB kernel line didn't give me any sound at all.
Neither did "model=toshiba".

phabulosa · 2008-10-14 05:11:38

anyone had success with hibernate on AAO?

I am running the latest kernel26-one, but pm-hibernate give me nothing. pm-suspend works fine.

What else do I need to enable hibernate?

jeffro-tull · 2008-10-14 05:19:04

waitaminute, 2.6.27 negates the need for the separate madwifi package? all right! Guess I'll finally have to make the jump.

...although I'm going to miss the wireless LED. Yeah, it's annoying at times. But the wireless kill switch is momentary contact. Meaning, without the LED it takes me a while to realize that I've hit the switch!

You have to put it in /etc/modprobe.d/sound
