Sourav,
Thanks for your comment. I think you have an issue with your graphic card configuration. Did you try out any forums?

Hi, thanks for this post, it’s awesome. recently i bought a HP Mini 110 (which is in the supported list of UNR) and tried to install UNR on it, I created the the bootable USB stick successfully, but when booting from it and selecting either install or try from the initial menu, the screen simply goes blank and nothing happens after the logo is displayed. could you please tell me if I have to wait for a very long time to get to the gui or there’s some trouble with my system?

I have been running ubuntu netbook remix on my “pimped” EEE900

(2gb RAM + 64GB runcore SSD)

At first everything ran perfectly, then …wifi started to freeze.

So I followed the menus and tried to enable MADWIFI from the
GUI.

No luck there ! madwifi wouldnt even start (no wlan0c / ath0 …nothing!)

so after much fiddling, I got back to the Ath5k module.

This assocuiates, scans etc…but appallingly bad throughput

I tried everything , jaunty-backports, reinstall madwifi , reinstall ath5k, array.org eee kernel…nothing but nothing worked

So I started regressing the kernel …painstakingly…

When I got back to:

2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP fri Apr17 01:57:59 utc 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

everything started working again!

ok wireless throughput wouldnt go above 2mbps , but 2 simple tweaks to /etc/sysctl.conf and I was getting 8mbps transfers again!! YAYYY!!!

so my question to the community (since ubuntu forums website doesnt seem to be accepting my credentials) is…quite simply…what changed ??

JPierre,

Excellent guide! I have followed it several times for the same Eee. It worked every time. My only problem happened when I installed the available updates. The first time it changed the GUI slightly, it eventually eliminated the task bar and not being a Linux wiz, it became unusable (it would always boot-up to an empty desktop).

The last time I installed ubuntu, I resorted to not performing updates. So far so good…. even though I have broken down and installed some updates, but every time I do it I feel like I’m playing Russian roulette. Have you encountered this issue? What are you doing as far as updates?

Thanks for the great guide, I’m helping my gf install UNR on her EEE tomorrow and this post had all the info I’d been looking for like partitioning, dual-booting etc.

Why do you need a swap partition, what that’s for? If I have 2Gb of RAM on my 1000H installed, so the swap would be 2048Mb?

works perfect.
