• How do I get brightness controls working properly on an Eee PC 1001P?

  - by Terry

  Is there a solution to the low screen brightness issue with the Eee PC 1001P and release 12.04? When I use the brightness control, the screen goes through three adjustment cycles of dark to semi bright, but never gets to bright. As you index the control up, brightness increases, then suddenly cuts back to dark. use the brightness button to further increase the brightness and the same cycle happens. As though there are three distinct brightness events, each one setting back to low level. Under no circumstances other than initial boot up can you get to a bright screen. I just finished installing 12.04 on two Acer (Gateway netbooks) with no brightness issue. Just on the Eee PC 1001P Eee PC model is 1001P

• Is Java Open?

  - by EmbeddedInsider

  One way to answer- “which one”  Brew, IBM, Nokia, Android?   Well lets look at the real deal- Sun Java.  How will this work for embedded devices: DEFINITIONS…. The use of Software in systems and solutions that provide dedicated functionality … or designed for use in embedded or function-specific software applications, for example but not limited to: Software embedded in or bundled with industrial control systems, wireless mobile telephones, wireless handheld devices, netbooks, kiosks, TV/STB, Blu-ray Disc devices, telematics and network control switching equipment, printers and storage management systems, and other related systems are excluded from this definition and not licensed under this Agreement. http://www.java.com/en/download/license.jsp Now, the interesting thing is the license between Sun and the people with Java clones.  Does that pass on this exclusion?

• Le CEO d'AMD renvoyé sans ménagement, il aurait sous-estimé le marché des appareils mobiles

  Le CEO d'AMD renvoyé sans ménagement, il aurait sous-estimé le marché des appareils mobiles Dirk Meyer, patron d'AMD, a été éjecté de la direction de l'entreprise de façon brutale. Les raisons de ce départ subite étaient floues, mais les langues commencent à se délier. Ainsi, des cadres de la compagnie déclarent que le gros problème venait de l'apathie du CEO en termes de stratégie mobile. Il aurait ainsi raté le coche du boom de ce marché, en refusant notamment de construire des puces pour d'autres appareils nomades que les netbooks. Les parts d'AMD se seraient récemment effondrées de 9%, ce qui aurait précipité ce renvoi. L'homme affirmait que la priorité du groupe, c'était d'être en compétition avec le gros poisso...

• Handbrake-powered VidCoder gets a native 64-bit version

  A while back, VidCoder -- the Windows video disc ripping program -- added support for Blu-ray discs. With Handbrake's engine under the hood, VidCoder offers an easy-to-use interface and simple batch processing of your video files. With the release of version 0.8, there's also now a native 64-bit version for those of you running Windows x64. A number of stability tweaks have also been introduced. As Baz pointed out in our comments last time, VidCoder is particular useful on netbooks. If you've got a 1024x600 screen, Handbrake may not even launch for you -- but VidCoder will fire up just fine. Take the new 64-bit version for a spin, and share your thoughts in the comments.

• How do I get an Acer Aspire One D270 working?

  - by ronnie

  I was planning to buy Acer Aspire One D270 within a few days and as everybody installs linux on their netbook I was also planning to do that. Now, my question is how is Acer's hardware compatibility with linux and specifically in respect to the new Acer Aspire One D270. Has anybody tried installing linux on these new netbooks. It will be a great help if a D270 user can share his/her experience with linux usage. I read on some forums that there is some linux driver issue with Intel GMA 3600 and that people are not able to adjust their brightness. So, as I am a linux noob is this a major issue or not. Specs: RAM : 2Gb DDR3 Processor: Intel N2600(Cedar Trail) Graphics: Intel GMA 3600 HardDisk: 320Gb 5400 rpm

• Ubuntu 10.04 LTS consomme plus d'énergie que Windows 7, la distribution Linux est-elle trop gourmand

  Ubuntu 10.04 LTS consomme plus d'énergie que Windows 7, la distribution Linux est-elle trop gourmande ? Ubuntu 10.04 LTS est une distribution Linux mobile, optimisée pour les ordinateurs portables et les netbooks. C'est du moins ainsi qu'elle est présentée. Mais les tests réalisés par des journalistes américains démontrent plutôt le contaire. La consommation électrique de deux ordinateurs portables fonctionnant sous Windows 7 et l'Ubuntu 10.04 LTS a été mesurée et comparée. Il s'agissait d'un Asus Eee PC 1201N (Intel Atom 330 et solution graphique NVIDIA GeForce 9400M) et d'un Lenovo ThinkPad T61 (Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 et une carte graphique NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M). Les tests ont été effectués avec le pilote graphique d'origine et...

• Which mobile device is appropriate as a utility tool for a web master?

  - by Kayle

  Basically, I'm looking for a device to use on the road and I would prefer to not have to sit down for the majority of the tasks (which rules out netbooks, in my mind). I'm also hoping to spend less than $500. This is what I'd like to "capably" be able to do on the device: Browse the web in non-mobile format, flash is a plus Email, chat, etc Have access to a decent text editor and ftp OR a browser that supports BESPIN/ACE Some sort of SSH support I'm looking at rooted Android phones and iPhone/iPads... though the phone aspect is only icing (it would be cool to consolidate the two devices and have net access through cell networks, but I'm not married to the idea). Are there cheap linux tablets that are ready for prime-time yet? I suppose that would be ideal. All suggestions welcome!

• Who makes laptops for Ubuntu?

  - by Tim Lytle

  I'm looking for a laptop and would like to avoid the whole 'is this [specific configuration of hardware] compatible with Ubuntu?' process by finding a laptop manufactured with Ubuntu in mind. I know of system76, but are there any other manufacturers making laptops built to run a standard build of Ubuntu? I'm not counting Dell, as - from my experience - their 'Ubuntu' laptops/netbooks require their build, and because of that have their own set of compatibility issues. UPDATE: And as mentioned in the comments, Dell is no longer selling systems with Ubuntu to consumers.

• krunner unreadable black text on black background. File a bug? Where?

  - by user52784

  I'm running Kubuntu 12.04 beta2 (up to date). Already tried to create a user from the scratch but the problem can still be replicated. I'll make it simple: with any of the available themes (air, air 4 netbooks, oxygen) whenever I disable desktop effects, KRunner instantly becomes black (with black fonts) rendering itself useless because of its unreadable text. Here is a screenshot I took: http://i42.tinypic.com/348sz7n.jpg The weird thing is that with effects enabled KRunner is "light gray" and perfectly functional. What can I do? Should I file a bug? If yes: where? On the KDE bug tracker or the Kubuntu one? Thanks in advance!

• Vers des serveurs embarquant des puces ARM basses consommations ? Crédible, souhaitable ou irréalist

  Vers des serveurs embarquant des puces ARM basses consommations ? Crédible, souhaitable ou irréaliste ? ARM est connu pour ses puces basses consommations qui équipent bons nombres de terminaux mobiles allant des téléphones portables aux netbooks. Mais le consortium, basé à Cambridge, aurait d'autres projets dans ses cartons. C'est en tout cas ce que laisse entendre son directeur Marketing, Ian Drew, qui vient de révéler qu'un site test (le Linux Internet Platform) utilisait un serveur embarquant une puce ARM depuis environ un an. Ce test ferait suite à plusieurs demandes de la part de clients particulièrement intéressés par des les économies d'énergie que pou...

• Les tablettes ont-elles un avenir ? Certains cadres d'Intel en doutent

  Les tablettes ont-elles un avenir ? Certains cadres d'Intel en doutent Les netbooks se sont imposés sur les marchés de l'informatique et ils sont désormais très populaires. Mais en sera-t-il de même pour les tablettes ? Là où certains voient arriver des gadgets de génie qui vont révolutionner la manière mobile de surfer, d'autres, plus sceptiques, prédisent un flop de ce type d'objets. Des cadres travaillant chez Intel se sont montrés peu convaincus de l'essor de tels produits, malgré que divers constructeurs aient présenté des modèles d'ordinateurs de type Tablet utilisant des processeurs Atom (fabriqués par Intel). Ces appareils auront accès à une boutique de téléchargement d'application Intel (un équivalent à l'A...

• How can I use a .html file as desktop background/wallpaper?

  - by dudealfred

  I have one of those underpowered netbooks with Lubuntu. I also have an iPod Touch. I'd like the best of both worlds. So I would like to create an active html wallpaper with beautiful little squared icons to launch my webapps through Chromium/Firefox. I've read a bit, but it looks like there isn't really anything that would allow for that. Why? Does anyone have any other alternatives (apart from buying an iPad)? :)

• Acer AO722 flickering screen

  - by user1131702

  The screen on my Acer Aspire One netbook (AO722) flickers for a few minutes when Ubuntu awakens the screen after a period of inactivity. I am pretty sure this is not a hardware issue, as I never see this problem in Windows and both of my Acer netbooks exhibit the same problem. I see the flickering in all recent versions of Ubuntu -- 11.10, 11.04, and 10.10. Surprisingly I haven't been able to find a lot of information about this problem online. I believe the video card in this netbook is Radeon 6290 paired with AMD C-60. I am using the default open source video driver. Would appreciate any tips on how to get rid of the flicker. Thanks!

• Really, Mobile Devices will Take Over the World?

  - by p.gielens

  My blog has been quiet for quite a while. My inspiration comes from crunching/exchanging information which I should do more often. Gartner analysis tells us that by 2013 mobile phones will overtake PC’s as the most common Web access device worldwide. A few years back I would have said non sense, but apparently most Web users are comfortable with less processing power. Just take a look at the increasing business in Netbooks. Wouldn’t it be great to have a mobile phone which can connect wirelessly to my home TV, monitor, car display, mouse, keyboard, etc? And to have the processing power of the current Netbook generation? Where can I buy it? Why are we making our PC devices (for instance the slate) smaller while we can make our mobile device’s functionality bigger? What about the single responsibility principle? Does it apply to physical devices as well as good object-oriented software?

• How come ASUS sells Ubuntu installed 1225Cs, when we dont have drivers for gma3600?

  - by sumit_gt

  I recently purchased a ASUS 1225C cedar trail netbook. It didn't come preinstalled with Ubuntu like it comes in some markets. I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it. While Ubuntu works just fine, I am bothered by the lack of proper graphics support because of intel gma 3600. I am aware that this is not a problem of Ubuntu. My question is this: How does ASUS manage to sell these netbooks in other markets with Ubuntu preinstalled? How does ASUS manage to get everything to work? And if they can, why aren't I able to do the same? link: For more on Asus 1225C As you can see, they show Ubuntu working perfectly in the screenshots. Is this false advertising?

• Is there a way of leveling/compressing the sound system-wide?

  - by JethroDawnfine

  As a Laptop user, I'm sure that a lot of people, even the ones using Netbooks would have already gone through this problem. Especially when listening to podcasts, and using it as an example, the sound might have loud moments and quiet moments, one person speaking loud and the other speaking very quiet in the same episode. Thereby, I always wanted the sound to be compressed system-wide, and I just noted the other day, that in Windows, some Realtek drivers already offer this function. We have already a pulseaudio plugin for equalization system-wide, and although it still has problems like not letting us change its values and listen the change in real time, or cracking the sound while changing pulse volume, I do love it and use it. Now I'm just missing something to keep the sound around 0db (or near the volume level you're using) as a leveler plugin for pulseaudio. Any suggestion?

  Les tablettes vont-elles réussir leur percée en entreprise ? 38% des professionnels serait prêt à remplacer leur notebook par l'un de ces appareils C'est un scénario que plusieurs experts envisagent depuis des mois, et c'est aussi une possibilité que Steve Ballmer réfute : les tablettes pourraient remplacer les ordinateurs et les netbooks. A moins d'être sourd et aveugle, tout le monde a constaté le succès phénoménal qu'ont rencontré ces appareils. La société de conseil ChangeWave s'est penchée sur la question, mais depuis le point de vue des professionnels. Elle a ainsi interrogé 1641 employés à propos de leur intérêt pour les tablettes, dans le cadre de leurs fonctions. Et les résultats sont clairs :...

• Wireless networking on Gnome on Ubuntu 9 / 10

  - by WaveyDavey

  So here's my problem: I have some netbooks (ASUS eee, and ACER Aspire Ones) that I've been tasked to set up as kiosk machines, locked up tight for normal users. I am a command-line, server man, so this gnome malarkey is all a bit new to me. I found a lovely 9.04 kiosk livecd that installs and runs exactly as I want it to, but I can't get the wireless working. So I dropped on a full 10.4 distro, and wireless works straight out of the box (so hardware is good) - all I needed to do was right-click on the network connection icon, enter my SSID and password (WPA/WPA2) and away it went, perfect. Further investigation on 10.4 distro shows that /etc/networking/interfaces is virtually empty (just auto lo iface lo inet loopback in it), even after I have set up the wireless thru the gnome taskbar applet (is that the right word?). So where does gnome / ubuntu store the network settings to bring the blasted wireless connection up, and what do I need to do on the kiosk version to get wireless running?
