=== Note on using this guide ===
+
== About this guide ==
This guide was written with Ubuntu in mind.  Generally everything works the same with the other Ubuntu variants of (e.g., Kubuntu, Xubuntu).  This guide assumes you will use use gedit as your text editor.  You may also substitute the text editor of your choice (e.g., kate for Kubuntu, mousepad for Xubuntu or just use vim/emacs/nano).
+
There are many netbooks under the name "Acer Aspire One".
== Install Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 on the Acer Aspire One ==
+
Each component is shared by some of them but in general they are different.
'''Note:''' There is also a new page, [[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne110L|AspireOne110L]], targeted at the Aspire One 110L and Intrepid Ibex, using much of the information below.
+
The subpages of specific models account for this:
'''Note''' One user reports that the kernel update of 20081202 causes a problem with wifi access.
+
* [[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne/AOD250|Aspire One D250]] (9.04 and 9.10)
Status: Currently installing ( 1.6Ghz, 120GB harddrive )
+
* [[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne/110L |Aspire One 110L]] (8.10 and 9.04)  
=== Install Ubuntu ===
+
* [[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne/AO751h|Aspire One 751h]] (e.g. how to get 1366x768 pixels)
As the Acer Aspire One doesn't have a CD drive you must [[UbuntuHelp:Installation/FromUSBStick|install with an USB drive]] or an external CD-ROM drive.
+
* [[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne/D150  |Aspire One D150]] (Ubuntu 10.04)
Shut down your Aspire One and insert the external USB CD-ROM or the USB stick that we just used. Turn it on and tap F12 to bring up the boot menu.
+
Nevertheless, fixes, enhancements, and solutions for another model may work for your netbook, specially when:
With a CD-ROM, choose the USB CD-ROM option. With the bootable USB stick created, choose the USB HDD option. This will boot you to the USB CD-ROM/LiveUSB stick, and allow you to install Ubuntu. Install it like normal if you have the hard disk Aspire One. If you have the SDD Aspire One, for good performance and to increase the life of the SSD use a non-journaled filesystem like EXT2.
+
* The issue is not considered at the subpage specific for your model;
Note:  If you have already installed with EXT3 then follow this post: http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=164&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=10#p1177 to convert to EXT2. Installation (file copy) will take a LONG time (hour +). If you are not currently connected to the internet on a wired connection, you may get an error about setting up a mirror. You can safely ignore that error - it's non-fatal.
+
* The subpage specific for your model is outdated (pages get outdated soon as new releases come);
==== Fully functional: ====
+
* There is no subpage specific for your model.
* Suspend / Resume            [ works out of box ]
+
== Warning about outdated pages ==
* Video (with desktop effects)[ works out of box ]
+
The following functionalities improve considerably between two Ubuntu releases:
* Wireless Networking        [ ath_pci loads by default instead of ath5k, but the fix is easy (see below)]
+
Wireless, Audio, Webcam, Video, Fan control, USB, Sleep, Hibernation.
* wifi power saving          [ works out of box ]
+
They are likely to be outdated in some of the subpages. In most cases they describe manual fixes that are not necessarily with the latest release.
* Wired Networking            [ works out of box ]
+
== More material ==
* Webcam                      [ works out of box ]
+
A previous version of this guide can be found at the [[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne/Old|Old]] subpage.
* USB                        [ works out of box ]
+
It contains mostly outdated data, but can provide useful information, and references.
* Silent Fan                  [ fan works, silent?? needs scripts ]
+
[[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne/Ubuntu8.04|Ubuntu8.04]] contains many tweaks that are likely to work for later releases:
* Audio                      [ semi-working (output only), internal mic DOES NOT WORK on 2.6.27 *; audio output over speakers broken since kernel 2.6.27.7 ]
+
Font tweaks; SSD Performance; Reduce SSD Wear; Speed up Firefox; Touchpad tweaks; Optimize screen use; Disable Scrollkeeper; Powersaving. These could be recycled and ported to a subpage.
* Card Reader power saving    [ not tested ]
+
Some are deprecated: Screen tweaks (already works out-of-the-box).
==== Partial Function: ====
+
[[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne/Ubuntu9.10|Ubuntu9.10]] contains a brief summary of Ubuntu 9.10 tests with several models: 110L, ZG8, 510, ZG5, P531h, 532h, A150, D150.
* wifi kill switch            [ working, but no notification ]
+
=== Test results ===
* Card Readers, Bios 3109    [ Work out of the box, but write errors after suspend and on SDHC cards]
+
[[UbuntuWiki:Testing/Laptop/Reports/|Laptop|testing team]]
* Card Readers, Bios 3305    [ Pre 2.6.27.7: Only right card reader works after setpci described above; no SDHC support]
+
* Card Readers, Bios 3305    [ 2.6.27.7: Both card readers work again after setpci described above; no SDHC support, but at least the insertion of cards is automatically detected.]
+
==== Not Functional: ====
+
* Hibernate on A110L          [ Seems to work for for some if there is a swap partition that is big enough so we can suspend to it. Test carefully before using!. ]
+
==== Wireless module ====
+
Seems to work out of the box for some. If not: <<BR>>
+
disable ath_pci( use ath5k )  <<BR>>
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
  sudo rmmod ath_pci
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
System->HardwareDrivers-> ( disable Atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards ) <<BR>>
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
  sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-intrepid-generic <<BR>>
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
If this doesn't work, try enabling the backports repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list  (remove the # signs in front of them)
+
System->HardwareDrivers-> ( enable 5xxx series of Atheros 802.11 wireless lan cards ) <<BR>>
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
  sudo modprobe ath5k
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
For some reason it seems to be necessary to add the following line to /etc/modules, so Ubuntu will automatically load the driver when the system comes up:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
ath5k
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
System freezes when using VNC or remote desktop with the kernel 2.6.27-9 generic.  This is an issue with the wireless driver/kernel
+
==== Wireless LEDs ====
+
* the wireless leds do not illuminate in any way shape or form
+
* with wireless on/off works, but there is no notification in Gui
+
==== Audio ====
+
Output works, Volume Ok.
+
Audio switches from speakers to headphone
+
Internal microphone not working, http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-kernel.git;a=commitdiff;h=8ef355da64ff087b6f26c4c28a14753861e83e4b hopefully fixed this (available in 2.6.28-rc2); probably
+
need to try to get this as a 2.6.27 -stable backport, into 8.10 already (or some ubuntu module backports package).
+
* Microphone worked for me out of the box on Acer Aspire One 150. I installed Skype and it worked fine!
+
* There appears to be a mono/stereo incompatibility, see http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/11/22/155
+
* Maybe sound stops working after suspending and then resuming if this happens to you, add the following to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options snd-hda-intel model=acer
+
==== External Video ====
+
external video connector works with external monitor
+
==== Set Correct Font Size ====
+
(copied from Debian Acer Aspire One Help)
+
When running under X, the native/optimum resolution is 1024x600 (standard widescreen ratio).
+
The default X11 configuration will give you fonts that are too large for this resolution - You can add the following line to the "Monitor" section of your "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" file:
+
DisplaySize  195 113
+
And add the line:
+
Option    "NoDDC"
+
to the "Device" section.
+
That sets the resolution to the correct 96 DPI.
+
Note: This worked fine for me in kubuntu as the fonts were big. ubuntu seems to have better font sizes.
+
==== Setup fan controll as described above ====
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
rc.local may not be executable so
+
sudo chmod a+x /etc/rc.local
+
comment out the line /usr/sbin/set-usb-persist 0951 1606 on
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
=== Install NetBook Remix ===
+
1: Disable Visual effects <<BR>>
+
System-Preferences->appearance->:VisualEffects=none <<BR>>
+
2: Set WorkSpaces to 1x1
+
( right click workspaces --> preferences )
+
3: add the Repo for netbook-remix

+
=== Step 1: Install Ubuntu ===
+
As the Acer Aspire One doesn't have a CD drive you must [[UbuntuHelp:Installation/FromUSBStick|install with an USB drive]] or an external CD-ROM drive.
+
(NOTE: It is also possible to install directly from network, which makes USB devices unneeded. You will still need a network cable and another computer. See: [[UbuntuHelp:Installation/Netboot|Installation/Netboot]] or [http://hugi.to/blog/archive/2006/12/23/ubuntu-pxe-install-via-windows  Netinstall via Windows])
+
Shut down your Aspire One and insert the external USB CD-ROM or the USB stick that we just used. Turn it on and tap F12 to bring up the boot menu.
+
With a CD-ROM, choose the USB CD-ROM option. With the bootable USB stick created, choose the USB HDD option. This will boot you to the USB CD-ROM/LiveUSB stick, and allow you to install Ubuntu. Install it like normal if you have the hard disk Aspire One. If you have the SDD Aspire One, for good performance and to increase the life of the SSD use a non-journaled filesystem like EXT2.
+
Note:  If you have already installed with EXT3 then follow this post: http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=164&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=10#p1177 to convert to EXT2. Installation (file copy) will take a LONG time (hour +). If you are not currently connected to the internet on a wired connection, you may get an error about setting up a mirror. You can safely ignore that error - it's non-fatal.
+
=== Step 2: Tweak / Fix ===
+
So now we should have an installed Ubuntu system. At this point, if you have not already done, so connect your Aspire One to the internet using a '''wired''' connection. First and immediate task is to update, since the wireless driver needs to be reinstalled after every kernel update. Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal). Perform the updates:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo apt-get update
+
sudo apt-get upgrade
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
==== WIRELESS: ====
+
There are two different ways of configuring the wifi hardware, using either madwifi drivers, or wrapping Windows drivers with ndiswrapper. If you have troubles with one method, try the other.
+
===== madwifi =====
+
Now we need to disable the hardware drivers that Ubuntu tries to use before the ones we make will function. So go to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers and uncheck everything. It should prompt us to reboot, so lets do it now.
+
We need to grab the wireless driver, and the things we need to build it, from a terminal:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
mkdir source
+
cd source
+
wget http://snapshots.madwifi-project.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3835-20080801.tar.gz
+
tar -xzvf madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3835-20080801.tar.gz
+
cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3835-20080801
+
sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
And we build and install:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
make
+
sudo make install
+
sudo modprobe ath_pci
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
In order to have the wireless work after reboot, add the following line to /etc/modules ("sudo gedit /etc/modules") to automatically load the module when booting:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
ath_pci
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
You should now have working wireless. However you may want to do the following to prevent problems ''(the symbol mismatch)'' when the module is loaded:
+
Add '''ath_hal''' to the '''DISABLED_MODULES=''' stanza in '''/etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common'''
+
''(i.e. 'DISABLED_MODULES="ath_hal"')''
+
Every time there is a kernel update you will need to perform the following steps to make the wireless work. Go to the directory (madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-r3835-20080801) and run:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
make clean
+
make
+
sudo make install
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
===== ndiswrapper =====
+
If the above madwifi instructions didn't work for you, using ndiswrapper is an alternative that is known to work, but uses Windows drivers.
+
Download drivers for your wireless card from:
+
http://download2.dvd-driver.cz/atheros/drivers/ar5008/xp32-6.0.3.85.zip
+
Unzip those drivers.
+
Install ndiswrapper, and launch the installer:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo aptitude install ndisgtk
+
sudo ndisgtk
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Find the net5416.inf file, and install it. -> Invalid Driver!
+
If you have tried madwifi, unload it with:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
madwifi-unload
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Restart your AA1, and everything should work.
+
==== WIRELESS LED: ====
+
To get your awesome wireless led to blink for you based on traffic, put these lines in /etc/rc.local, just above the string ''exit 0'' (below doesn't work).
+
Note:  The 2.6.27 kernel does not appear to have these options anymore (earlier kernels do).
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.ledpin=3
+
sysctl -w dev.wifi0.softled=1
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
The led on the front will now do the association blink, as well as blink based on wireless traffic.
+
rc.local may not be executable so
+
<code><nowiki>sudo chmod a+x /etc/rc.local </nowiki></code>
+
The wifi kill switch uses these keycodes (also to use in rc.local):
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e055 159
+
/usr/bin/setkeycodes e056 158
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
==== WEBCAM ====
+
Install luvcview - USB Video Class grabber
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
apt-get install luvcview
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
You may confirm it is recognized
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
dmesg |grep -i "uvc"
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
And this is the repply
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
[  29.601485] uvcvideo: Found UVC 1.00 device USB 2.0 Camera (0c45:62c0)
+
[  29.617301] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Say hello to yourself with this command ;)
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
luvcview -f yuv
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
==== CARD READER: ====
+
Note: there are problems with the card readers: DO NOT SUSPEND your Aspire One with an SD Card inserted. I lost all my data on it!
+
If you want the card readers to be hot-pluggable, you'll need to work through the following modified instructions from [http://wiki.debian.org/DebianAcerOne]. 
+
Create a file /etc/modprobe.d/aspireone with the following content:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
# Module options for the Acer AspireOne
+
#
+
# Enable USB card reader
+
options pciehp pciehp_force=1
+
install sdhci for i in 2381 2382 2383 2384; do /usr/bin/setpci -d 197b:$i AE=47; done; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install sdhci
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Add the following line to the end of you existing /etc/modules file:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
pciehp
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
You need to reboot to the get the files /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d/aspireone read properly.  Inserting a SD card should then result in HAL finding the card and placing icon on the desktop automagically.
+
Note there are still a few problems with this setup:
+
* If you first insert a card in the left card reader, both card readers will be hot pluggable.  However, if you first insert a card in the right card reader, the left card reader will not be available until reboot.
+
* MemorySticks wouldn't work for me in the right multi-card reader.  I think this is a kernel module limitation. 
+
A script to poll the card reader for power events (AC unplugged, etc.) is included on the recovery DVD shipped with the machine within the "hdc1._.tar.bz2" archive as /usr/sbin/jmb38x_d3e.sh. This script runs once every 5 minutes and adjusts the power level depending on the system power state.
+
The script is also available from the petaramesh site.  Download it, make it executable and copy it to /usr/local/sbin with:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
wget http://petaramesh.org/public/arc/projects/AcerOne_Ubuntu/jmb38x_d3e.sh
+
sudo chmod 754 jmb38x_d3e.sh
+
sudo mv jmb38x_d3e.sh /usr/local/sbin/
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
To use the script add a line like:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
/usr/local/sbin/jmb38x_d3e.sh &>/var/log/jmb38x_d3e.log &
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
to rc.local before ''exit 0''.  Next time you reboot this script will be running (or you can execute it in a terminal now as root).
+
The script generates lots of harmless warning messages, so we send the output messages to a log file.
+
The card readers are identified as /dev/mmcblk0 and /dev/mmcblk1. Partitions on them are labeled, for example /dev/mmcblk0p1.
+
==== USB MOUNT: ====
+
''(Do this step '''only''' if you get an error inserting a USB stick)''
+
If you insert a memory key, you may notice an error and that it cannot be mounted. This is due to the CD-ROM entry in the fstab. Since we don't have an optical drive on the One we will comment that out. From a terminal again:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
You should see a line that looks like:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
/dev/sdb        /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0      0
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
add a hash in front:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
#/dev/sdb        /media/cdrom0  udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0      0
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Reboot, and automount should work.
+
==== NOISE (FAN CONTROL) ====
+
Aspire One by default commonly doesn't manage Fan speed correctly, resulting in a very noisy AA0.
+
Note: On A150X with a 160gb hd and 6 cell battery the perl script returns 0ºC every time, because the thermal control is not working. This causes the fan to shutdown. It could '''DAMAGE''' your system severely.
+
Please check that the script is returning the correct values manually '''before''' applying the daemon.
+
Solution:
+
* Ensure you have dmidecode installed, so acerfand can detect which bios version you have. It's probably installed by default already. If not, execute:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo aptitude install dmidecode
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
* Download the [http://code.google.com/p/aceracpi/wiki/EmbeddedController acer_ec.pl] script ([http://aceracpi.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/acer_ec/acer_ec.pl Direct download]).
+
* Download the [http://electronpusher.org/~rachel/acerfand acerfand] daemon script ([http://electronpusher.org/~rachel/acerfand Direct download]). ''(New version (2008-10-19) adding support to BIOS 3305)''
+
* (You can check whether the scripts shows a reasonable cpu temperature (in hex) as follows:)
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
perl acer_ec.pl ?= 58
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
* Execute these lines in a terminal in the directory you downloaded the above scripts:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
chmod a+x acerfand
+
sudo cp acer_ec.pl acerfand /usr/local/bin/
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
* To run it straight away:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo acerfand
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
* Note, you need the correct bios for this to work correctly. To see if the acerfand script is working, you can check the system log after you have run the *sudo acerfand* command:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
#sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
+
Oct  9 02:04:36 lilput acerfand: acerfand 0.03 starting
+
Oct  9 02:04:36 lilput acerfand: Detected bios version v0.3301
+
Oct  9 02:04:36 lilput acerfand: Unsupported bios version v0.3301 found. Aborting.
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
There is information about updating your bios here: http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-v3304.html
+
* To run it at boot:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo gedit /etc/rc.local
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Insert the following line above the ''exit 0'' at the bottom:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
/usr/local/bin/acerfand
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
The fan is not completely disabled. When the FANAUTO temperature is reached (70ºC), fan works again. According to Intel, the Atom chip could work until 99ºC.
+
'''Optional:''' Above instructions will work fine, but if you want to define another temperature:
+
* Create an /etc/acerfand.conf file. The file is just a shell script that sets up to three values. eg:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
INTERVAL=5
+
FANOFF=60
+
FANAUTO=70
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Those are the default values, if the /etc/acerfand.conf file isn't found.
+
INTERVAL is the polling interval in seconds
+
FANOFF is the temperature (in Celsius Degrees) at or below which to turn the fan off, if it's currently on auto
+
FANAUTO is the temperature (in Celsius Degrees) at or above which to turn the fan to auto, if it's currently off
+

+
==== OPTIMIZING SSD PERFORMANCE: ====
+
Note: ''(Skip this step if you have the hard disk Acer Aspire One)''
+
The performance of the SSD drive can be significantly improved by a few tweaks described in [http://blogs.zdnet.com/perlow/?p=9190 an article by Jason Perlow] (But ignore Tweak #1, which does not apply.). The most important of these are described here.
+
===== Change the file system mount options on SSDs to “noatime” =====
+
Edit /etc/fstab (sudo gedit /etc/fstab) and change the the option “relatime” to “noatime”. The line for the root partition should then be something like:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
UUID=f0ae2c59-83d2-42e7-81c4-2e870b6b255d / ext2 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
===== Use the “noop” I/O scheduler =====
+
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst using your favorite editor, and add "elevator=noop" as an option. The default kernel configuration, found in the last part of the file should be something like:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
title Ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic
+
root (hd0,0)
+
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=UUID=f0ae2c59-83d2-42e7-81c4-2e870b6b255d ro quiet splash elevator=noop
+
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic
+
quiet
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
In order for the changes to remain when updating the kernel, also in menu.lst, find the line
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
# defoptions=quiet splash
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
and add "elevator=noop" as an option:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
# defoptions=elevator=noop quiet splash
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
==== REDUCING SSD WEAR: ====
+
Note:  ''(Skip this step if you have the hard disk Acer Aspire One)''
+
Frequent writes to the SSD will cause failure eventually. We can reduce the number of writes to the SSD by moving our logs to a temporary filesystem in RAM that gets destroyed at ever reboot. Now this means your logs will not be persistent across reboots making debugging difficult in some cases. This step is optional of course, so if you need the logs for an extended period of time do not follow these steps.
+
Open your fstab again, and add the following lines:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo gedit /etc/fstab
+
tmpfs      /var/log        tmpfs        defaults          0    0
+
tmpfs      /tmp            tmpfs        defaults          0    0
+
tmpfs      /var/tmp        tmpfs        defaults          0    0
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
There is currently a bug in sysklogd where it cannot handle booting with an empty /var/log directory (bug [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sysklogd/+bug/290127 #290127]). This can be fixed by modifying /etc/init.d/sysklogd:
+
Find this function:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
fix_log_ownership()
+
        for l in `syslogd-listfiles -a`
+
        do
+
                chown ${USER}:adm $l
+
        done
+
}
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
..and replace it with this:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
fix_log_ownership()
+
{
+
        for l in `syslogd-listfiles -a --news`
+
        do
+
                # Create directory for logfile if required
+
                ldir=$(echo ${l} | sed  's/[^\/]*$//g')
+
                if [ ! -e $ldir ] ; then
+
                        mkdir -p $ldir
+
                fi
+
                # Touch logfile and chown
+
                touch $l && chown ${USER}:adm $l
+
        done
+
}
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
'''Warning: this will cause some packages to fail mysteriously when they cannot access the log directories that were installed with the packages and then disappeared at reboot.'''
+
To rebuild the rest of the directory structure inside /var/log on each reboot, add these lines to /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
for dir in apparmor apt cups dist-upgrade fsck gdm installer samba unattended-upgrades ; do
+
if [ ! -e /var/log/$dir ] ; then
+
mkdir /var/log/$dir
+
fi
+
done
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
'''Note:''' discovered ATA 40-wire cable misdetection after resume (currently 2.6.27), causing hdparm down from 40MB/s to 25MB/s: filed http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11879 for this issue -AndiM
+
==== DISABLE SCROLLKEEPER: ====
+
''(Skip this step if you have the hard disk Acer Aspire One)''
+
ScrollKeeper is a cataloging system for documentation on open systems. Hardly anyone ever uses it and on the AAO's slow SSD it takes ages every time you install anything. Disable it and your installs will fly!
+
Finally add a diversion to stop dpkg from overwriting your changes.
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo mv /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update.real
+
sudo ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update
+
sudo find /var/lib/scrollkeeper/ -name \*.xml -type f -exec rm -f '{}' \;
+
sudo dpkg-divert --local --divert /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update.real --add /usr/bin/scrollkeeper-update
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
==== VIDEO AND 3D PERFORMANCE: (Optional) ====
+
Out of the box, the graphic card Intel GMA 950, is well detected, however you can tweak /etc/X11/xorg.conf to achieve better graphic card performance:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
Section "Device"
+
(...)
+
        Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS,VGA"
+
        Option "Clone" "true"
+
        Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
+
        Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
+
        VideoRam      229376
+
        Option "CacheLines" "1980"
+
EndSection
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
The Option Clone is especially usefull, if you want to capture video or photos.  Without it you will get a black screen on applications like cheese.
+
Also add this to your /etc/profile:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
export INTEL_BATCH=1
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Note: 'export INTEL_BATCH=1' appears to causes graphics faults (artifacts) within 'ume-launcher' (even with Compiz fully disabled).
+
Reboot and you will have a more responsive system, with better 3D FPS, and improved video performance.
+
==== AUDIO: ====
+
Out of the box there are various issues with the sound.  These range from headphone detection not functioning correctly, to the internal MIC not working.  There are solutions to these problems.  Currently, however, there is no known way to get everything working at once. All of the steps begin the same way, rebuilding ALSA:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo apt-get install module-assistant
+
sudo m-a update
+
sudo m-a prepare
+
sudo m-a a-i alsa
+
sudo alsa force-unload
+
sudo depmod -ae
+
sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Add the following line to the end of /etc/modules in order to ensure that the module is loaded during bootup:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
snd-hda-intel
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Now we need to make a choice.  To have the internal MIC non-functional (external works), but sound working after suspend and resume, we edit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base) and add the following line to the bottom:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Reboot for that to take effect.
+
To have the internal MIC function correctly, but no sound after suspending and resuming the computer add or change the following to the /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base as before:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
options snd-hda-intel model=auto
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Again, reboot for this to take effect.
+
For some unknown reason some people don't hear any sound with either option. If you experience this problem you might want to use the option in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base as before to the following to resolve this problem:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
options snd-hda-intel model=acer
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
For A150L, model=basic seems to work fine with alsa 1.018rc3 (internal mic and sound work after suspend; plugging headphone in does turn the speakers off)
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
options snd-hda-intel model=basic
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
According to the [http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Acer_Aspire_One ArchWiki] alsa version 1.018 and up contains a new dedicated audio model option for the Acer aspire one that can be used instead:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
options snd-hda-intel model=acer-aspire
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
If you experience crackling sound after rebooting, insert the following line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
blacklist snd_pcsp
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
'''Optional:''' The default sound level is low. Open a terminal and type ''alsamixer'' to adjust volume.
+
Alsa needs to be version 1.0.17.
+
==== Alternative Method for upgrading ALSA and settings ====
+
There is a script available at
+
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=962695
+
This will currently upgrade ALSA to 1.0.17 or 1.0.18final (IBEX comes with version 1.0.17 by default)
+
Tweak the configuration as suggested above
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
options snd-hda-intel model=acer
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Why do it this way? because it works it fetches the required tools and source builds and installs it all in one step leaving you with just the configuration steps needed specifically for the Aspire One.
+
Why not do it this way? It can overwrite system settings and files without giving you any choice in the matter. See the link for details and this is not recommended practice. Your Aspire One, your choice.
+
Note The script at the beginning of the thread given by the Link appears to be broken, on page 2 is another version for 1.0.18 by the same author which may work, however also on that page is a link for a script which will install 1.0.18r3
+
http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=6090951&postcount=16
+
That does work fine.
+
==== Retaining Mixer Settings ====
+
There is an issue with retaining the audio settings in Hardy You configure the mixer so sound input is internal mic, on reboot it is reset to mic. The desktop applet doesn't have a save settings option.
+
so use it to configure your audio then open a terminal and type
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo alsactl store
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
however on reboot you will find your settings are gone again
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo alsactl restore
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
will retrieve your settings.
+
(this section is incomplete and needs details for restoring the alsa settings automatically on boot)
+
==== Screen Tweaks ====
+
'''TWEAKS TO MAKE BETTER USE OF THE ASPIRE ONE'S SMALL SCREEN:'''
+
There are various methods that will help you make better use of the Aspire One's small screen. One of the most important is being able to move windows that are too large to fit on the screen at once. To move a hidden part of the window into view, click and drag with the left mouse button on any part of the window while holding down the ALT key. However, you won't be able to drag windows so the top of the window is above the top of the screen. To fix that, enter the following in a terminal window:
+
<code><nowiki>gconftool-2 --set /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/constrain_y --type bool 0</nowiki></code>
+
Since the Aspire One's screen has almost twice as much resolution horizontally as vertically, having panels on both the top and bottom is not ideal. You may want to remove the top or bottom panels, make them smaller, or move them so that they are vertical, on the left and right side, instead of horizontal on top and bottom.
+
==== TOUCHPAD TWEAKS: ====
+
The AAO touchpad is quite easy to bump whilst typing. The best fix is to disable all scroll and tap commands for 1 second after each keystroke.
+
Go to Preferences and select "Sessions". Click the add button and add an entry:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
Name: Syndaemon
+
Command: syndaemon -d -t -i 1
+
Comment: Disable trackpad while typing
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
The '1' can be changed to any decimal number, and defines the amount of time to lock the trackpad after each keystroke. See the Syndaemon man page for full details.
+
==== Start/Resume ====
+
===== HIBERNATE: =====
+
In some set-ups, using hibernate has been reported to cause [http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=511 file corruption].
+
===== TWEAK FOR BOOTUP SPEED (Optional): =====
+
To decrease boot time, activate concurrency bootup:
+
<code><nowiki> sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc </nowiki></code>
+
and replace the line:
+
CONCURRENCY=none
+
with
+
CONCURRENCY=shell
+
==== TWEAKS FOR POWERSAVING (Optional): ====
+
Add the following to the /etc/rc.local file:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
# Economize the SSD
+
sysctl -w vm.swappiness=1              # Strongly discourage swapping
+
sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=50      # Don't shrink the inode cache aggressively
+
 
+
# As in the rc.last.ctrl of Linpus
+
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor
+
echo ondemand > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor
+
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate_max > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/ondemand/sampling_rate
+
 
+

+
[ -w /sys/bus/usb/devices/5-5/power/level ] && echo auto > /sys/bus/usb/devices/5-5/power/level
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
==== NETBOOK REMIX (Optional): ====
+
'''UPDATE''': An Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) installer image with the LPIA kernel [[UbuntuWiki:UNR|is|now available]]. Such image can be installed as-is on an Aspire One and most of the steps described are not necessary. Of particular interest, wifi, suspend/resume, webcam and fan control (once BIOS has been upgraded) work out-of-the-box. Card readers have the same issues. 
+
'''WARNING ABOUT UNR''': The UNR installer image currently wants to format your entire hard disk. If you want to dual boot XP Home and Ubuntu your best bet is to use GPARTD from a live linux such as [http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page systemrescuecd] to resize the windows partition and create partitions for your Ubuntu install. Recommended one main partition labeled / and formatted and a 1-2 gb swap partition.
+
To install [https://launchpad.net/netbook-remix Ubuntu Netbook remix] -
+
In Intrepid, the netbook remix packages are already in the universe repository. For Hardy, you'll need to add the netbook remix PPA to your sources.list.
+
* Insert the following into /etc/apt/sources.list (not required for Intrepid):
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
+
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/netbook-remix-team/ubuntu hardy main
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
* then execute
+
In Hardy:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo apt-get update
+
sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus ume-launcher window-picker-applet
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
In Intrepid (ume-launcher has been renamed to netbook-launcher):
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo apt-get install go-home-applet human-netbook-theme maximus netbook-launcher window-picker-applet
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
* Add maximus as startup program  (system > preferences > sessions > startup programs)
+
* Change the desktop theme to Human-Netbook (system > preferences > appearance > theme)
+
* Delete the bottom panel
+
* Reconfigure the top panel to contain the following items -
+
* Go Home Applet
+
* Window Picker Applet
+
* Notification Area
+
* Mixer Applet
+
* Clock
+
* There is a bug in the ume-launcher after resuming from suspend. To work around this place the following in /etc/pm/sleep.d/01UMELauncher -
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
#! /bin/bash
+
#
+

+
 
+
export DISPLAY=:0.0
+
 
+
TMPFILE=/tmp/.launcher/resume-event
+
 
+
case "$1" in
+
suspend|hibernate)
+
rm -rf $TMPFILE
+
echo "Removed resume-notify file"
+
;;
+
resume|thaw)
+
touch $TMPFILE
+
echo "Created resume-notify file"
+
;;
+
esac
+
 
+
exit $?
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
* Make the above file executable -
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
sudo chmod +x /etc/pm/sleep.d/01UMELauncher
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
You should also disable desktop effects as these cause issues with netbook remix.
+
===== Maximising screen real estate in Firefox: =====
+
To take your screen saving netbook remix to the next level, you can do the following to maximise screen real estate in everyone's most used app - Firefox -
+
* Install the following addons
+
* Stop or Reload Button
+
* Personal Menu
+
* AutoHideStatusBar (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1530)
+
* Install the following theme -
+
* Classic Compact
+
* Configure Personal Menu to include all the standard menus except History and Bookmarks (they get their own buttons)
+
* Disable the menu toolbar. You can always get it back by pressing Alt
+
* Use the top-bar icon tabs instead of firefox tabs. (options are in edit > preferences > tabs )
+
==== Drastically speed up Firefox ====
+
Make firefox store its cache in the /tmp directory --- which when we we have moved it to a tmpfs according to this wiki is *fast*.
+
* Firefox 3.x uses a sqlite db that creates many write accesses, so this can reduce it:
+
<ol><li>In Firefox go to (type as url) "about:config", right click, add new string „browser.cache.disk.parent_directory“ with value "/tmp/firefox"
+
</li><li>In Firefox change options/security/ and disable phishing if you dare. - Your firefox will run even faster then but won't warn you about phishing any more so take care!</li></ol>
+
 
+
Alternatively, set "browser.cache.disk.enable" to "false". This will disable all disk caching, but will still cache to RAM. You may also wish to decrease the cache size (browser.cache.disk.capacity) to a lower value to reduce memory usage over time.
+
==== Flash 10 RC or upper (Optional, recommended for 512M of RAM): ====
+
Ubuntu Hardy installs flash version 9.0.115, this version needs a lot of memory to work and makes 'AspireOne' slower than it is. A good option is to download the latest Flash player plugin 10, which delivers improved performance and less memory requirements. This package is the flashplugin-nonfree, which is available on hardy-backports repository, or by download in the following link:
+
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-backports/flashplugin-nonfree
+
===== Verifying Flash player 10 installed correctly =====
+
Once you've installed Flash 10, verify that it installed correctly by visiting [http://www.macromedia.com/software/flash/about/ here].
+
In the version information box, verify it says version "10,0,12,36" or newer installed.
+
If version 9 is still installed in Firefox then you will need to do it manually by following these directions.
+
===== Uninstalling the Flash 9 plugin from Firefox =====
+
Open a terminal window (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and type:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
cd ~/.mozilla
+
rm flashplayer.xpt libflashplayer.so
+
exit
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
===== Installing the Flash 10 RC plugin into Firefox =====
+
Visit the [http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash Adobe] website and select from "Select version to download..." drop down menu the "tar.gz for Linux" option. Save the file to your Desktop.
+
'''Close all open Firefox windows before proceeding.'''
+
Open a terminal window (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and type:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
cd Desktop
+
tar -zxvf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
+
cd install_flash_player_10_linux
+
./flashplayer-installer
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Press ENTER to install.
+
Answer y to proceed.
+
Answer n to not perform another installation.
+
Open the Firefox browser and type '''about:plugins''' in the address bar and hit ENTER.
+
You should see:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
Filename libflashplayer.so
+
Shockwaveflash 10.0 b218
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Or a newer version listed.
+
Under '''MIME Type''' the following should be listed:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
application/x-shockwave-flash  Shockwave Flash
+
application/futuresplash      Futuresplash player
+

== Upgrade from Hardy Heron (8.04.1) to Intrepid Ibex (8.10) ==
+
(Originally written by khaeru. Last updated 24 November 2008: Made the wlan work again.
+
Use:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
$ update-manager -d
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
after following the first section of this guide. Following the above notes and some trial and error, the following configuration files work.
+
Note that shell commands preceded by "`#`" should be run as root (i.e. using sudo); commands preceded by "`$ `" should be run as a normal user.
+
=== /boot/grub/menu.lst ===

Changing the default options:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
...
+
 
+
# defoptions=elevator=noop quiet splash

+
Rather than editing the boot lines directly and risking an unbootable system, run the following to automagically update all boot lines:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
# update-grub
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
=== /etc/modules ===
+
add the following line:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
ath5k
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Seems not to be necessary for all, this line, but does never harm; snd_hda_intel driver is loaded automatically.
+
Since the ath5k driver is not installed by default (see below)
+
* Enable the backports repositories in /etc/apt/sources.list  (remove the # signs in front of them)
+
* Install "linux-backports-modules-intrepid" e.G. using synaptics
+
=== /etc/modprobe.d/aspireone ===
+
Rather than modify the other files in this directory, create a new file just for Aspire One settings. It will be processed along with the rest on boot.
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
# Module options for the Acer AspireOne
+
#
+

=== /etc/sysctl.d/60-aspireone.conf ===

==== Notes ====
+
* As noted elsewhere, the wireless kill switch on the front of the case works, but there is no visual notification. Search around the Network Manager project and notice references to "rfkill" and "KillSwitch", neither of which is implement in NM yet.
+
* The wireless LEDs don't work; the "dev.wifi0" settings aren't included because they only generate errors.
+
* ethtool is not installed by default in Intrepid (as of RC1). This will cause rc.local to fail unless it is installed.

Please use @``SIG@ to sign your suggestions.
+
=== Use Unetbootin ===
+
On this website: [http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/08/27/create-a-bootable-usb-drive-or-memory-card/ Create a bootable USB Drive or Memory Card], the tool used was [http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ UNetbootin] which seems to only require the one computer to run it on (as a statically linked binary, no install required, minimal dependencies) and generically works for a large number of distributions in addition to ubuntu and handles custom diskimages and custom kernels. This seems like a tool that is a little more quick than UbuntuLiveUSB.
+
To install:
+
* download .bin file from sourceforge
+
* right click on file, check executable (or run chmod +x *.bin in terminal)
+
* sudo apt-get install mtools p7zip-full
+
* run file (double click or type ./unetbooin-linux-282 in terminal) on any linux system
+
* select diskimage or distribution
+
* select USB drive from list (uses only device names unfortunately)
+
* click ok
+
Flash drive or memory card will be formatted and set up as a bootable drive.
+
=== Stop hard drive death click ===
+
Both Hardy and intrepid may suffer from excessive load cycling
+
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=805570
+
This will fix the issue, but value 128 in script should be modified to 200.
+
interestingly fedora suffers the same issue and they decided on no head parking(not a great idea) and also "S 120"
+
has anyone an view on using
+
ac
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
      /sbin/hdparm -B 254 /dev/sda -S120
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
and

=== Clean-up ===
+
It would be nice to have a single section for Intrepid, rather than several sections that refer to bugs/hiccups that were in previous beta versions but are now irrelevant -- [[UbuntuHelp:LaunchpadHome:khaeru|LaunchpadHome:khaeru]] <<DateTime(2008-10-16T06:04:27Z)>>
+
We should copy the organization [[UbuntuHelp:EeePC|EeePC]] guys uysed on the Wiki.

=== Horizontal Scrolling ===
+
To enable horizontal scrolling for the touchpad (as in Linpus install), put this in xorg.conf:
+
<pre><nowiki>
+
Section "InputDevice"
+
Identifier  "Mouse0"
+
Driver      "synaptics"
+
Option     "Protocol" "auto"
+
Option     "Device" "/dev/input/mouse0"
+
Option     "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
+
Option      "CorePointer"
+
Option      "HorizEdgeScroll" "1"
+
EndSection
+
</nowiki></pre>
+
Tested in Intrepid only.

=== Wireless Broken in Intrepid RC; how to install /home to an SD card ===
+
Two things:
+
1) Some reports  that the latest Intrepid / updating from an Intrepid beta breaks wireless.
+
'''Note''': The driver "ath5k" has been removed from the stock Intrepid kernel, because it's not working reliably on some machines. It works, however, on the AAo, you can easily get it by installing "linux-backports-modules-intrepid" [[UbuntuHelp:LaunchpadHome:christian-paratschek|LaunchpadHome:christian-paratschek]]
+
* Be sure to ''install the backports package first if you rely on the wireless card'', before you do a system update. You may also have to disable competing drivers in the Restricted Drivers manager after rebooting. -- [[UbuntuHelp:LaunchpadHome:dsm-iv-tr|LaunchpadHome:dsm-iv-tr]]
+
Active thread discussing this
+
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=894852&highlight=aspireone+intrepid
+
2) The SD card / slot shows up as a partition option if you boot with a card in, and ''install from the live CD''.  Do manual partition options and it's simple to set an SD card as /home.
+
-- [[UbuntuHelp:LaunchpadHome:julie-fuller|LaunchpadHome:julie-fuller]] <<DateTime(2008-10-28T04:46:43Z)>>
+
'''Note''': Suspend '''does not work''' with this type of install. Suspend might kill all your data on the SD-Card. [[UbuntuHelp:LaunchpadHome:christian-paratschek|LaunchpadHome:christian-paratschek]]
+
* Guide for the AAO 110L and Intrepid (cleaned up version of this one): [[UbuntuHelp:AspireOne110L|AspireOne110L]]
+
* If you have any questions or new insights about Ubuntu 8.10 on the Acer Aspire One, please consider posting to [http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=966158 this thread] in the forums first. This should help to further unclutter this site.

About this guide

There are many netbooks under the name "Acer Aspire One". Each component is shared by some of them but in general they are different. The subpages of specific models account for this:

Nevertheless, fixes, enhancements, and solutions for another model may work for your netbook, specially when:

  • The issue is not considered at the subpage specific for your model;
  • The subpage specific for your model is outdated (pages get outdated soon as new releases come);
  • There is no subpage specific for your model.

Warning about outdated pages

The following functionalities improve considerably between two Ubuntu releases: Wireless, Audio, Webcam, Video, Fan control, USB, Sleep, Hibernation. They are likely to be outdated in some of the subpages. In most cases they describe manual fixes that are not necessarily with the latest release.

More material

A previous version of this guide can be found at the Old subpage. It contains mostly outdated data, but can provide useful information, and references. Ubuntu8.04 contains many tweaks that are likely to work for later releases: Font tweaks; SSD Performance; Reduce SSD Wear; Speed up Firefox; Touchpad tweaks; Optimize screen use; Disable Scrollkeeper; Powersaving. These could be recycled and ported to a subpage. Some are deprecated: Screen tweaks (already works out-of-the-box). Ubuntu9.10 contains a brief summary of Ubuntu 9.10 tests with several models: 110L, ZG8, 510, ZG5, P531h, 532h, A150, D150.
