Install Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix to Asus Eee PC

[TheMichaelBender]

well i'm linux tech guru..and I have ubuntu 10.04 netbook remix...on my netbook ..it's a hp mini 110

[SupernautG]

I purchased 2 bootable USBs from this person via Ebay for my netbook and my brother's as a gift to him. Windows XP on my netbook had almost run out of memory with all those updates.

I did not want to wave the guarantee from the manufacturer by installing Ubuntu so the USB boot allows me to run the miniHP with Ubuntu no problem.

Radio streaming is a little problematic because they are linked to windows programs but flash and viewing videos on Hulu and Youtube are not a problem.

I have installed the 9.04 netbook remix on my Asus 1005HA. I could not make my wired and wireless to work. Can you please help me with this? I am new to Linux and want to try it.

Thanks you

Try this: power down Eee, disconnect AC charger, disconnect battery, wait 10 sec. Connect battery, connect AC charger, and power up and test Eee. This will force a hard reset to the WiFi adapter in the Eee.

i have a question, Do I have to install the graphics drivers manually in order to get 3d out of the box?

[jmurrayil]

No, you simply need to turn 3D on under "Appearance" settings.

[Davillalva]

Wow! Nice. Thanks :)

would there be any problems if i just install a desktop version of ubuntu instead of notebook remix??

[jmurrayil]

You can install either the standard desktop or the netbook remix desktop on an Asus Eee PC. Both operate the same - only the user interface, the desktop, is different.

wow thanks for the fast response! :)

one more question, I've got the eeepc 1000h.and there are 2x 80gb hard drives. do u think I could use the 2nd (which is empty and unused) for linux?

[jmurrayil]

Yes. You can install Ubuntu to the second HD for dual-booting.

[1903Stern]

after having installed ubuntu, is it easy to dual-boot? how do you do it? because I'm quite interested in ubuntu, but I need xp for some programs :S

[jmurrayil]

If you keep the original operating system on the PC's hard drive when installing Ubuntu, then Ubuntu's installer will automatically set up for dual-booting. NOTE: Defrag Windows operating system TWICE before installing a second operating system for dual-booting and shut-down/re-boot PC between defrags. (The defrags put all of Windows files together and allows for a faster install; otherwise Ubuntu installer would have to defrag hard drive.)

Why ext2?

[jmurrayil]

EXT3 and EXT4 are journaling file systems and perform many writes to the drive (making and updating the journal), thus can wear a solid-state drive out earlier than necessary, faster than EXT2 will. But, EXT3/4 are better at recovering files/data upon a corruption.

hi there , i just buy my seashell but come with windows, i want to ins tall the remix but i still want to keep my windows version can i have both Os running on my . ty for reply

[jmurrayil]

Yes, you can install Ubuntu to dual-boot along side Windows, then choose which OS to run during power up.

[TIMPA921209]

hey how do you instal it to dual boot?

[ScreamingPixel]

Can i still switch back to the traditional ubuntu look?

[jmurrayil]

Yes.

[ScreamingPixel]

Thank you :)

[Ad1rtytub3s0ck]

Do you have to back up everything, or not? Because I have the acer 160GB with ms office on it for school, and I am wondering if it keeps your stuff.

[jmurrayil]

You can install Ubuntu to dual-boot along side Windows.

Acer Aspire One and ubuntu netbook remix.

The best thing is to install on a pendrive, because the internal ssd is a bit crappy.

In this moment i'm enjoying of this "columbus egg".

Mousepad scrolling is Waay better than Xp, and 3d desktop is on the fly. This is perfect for Netbooks!

[sk8dudejames]

Im gettting a netbook for college cuz i dont wanna carry a big laptop so i cant wait to put ubuntu on it :D

[SeikoPsycho]

Does the Asus power settings work on this? If so, how is battery life on this compared to xp on the same power setting??

[wwjoshdew]

You gotta love how it recognizes the web cam, wireless, bluetooth, microphone, EVERYTHING! I installed this on my eee pc 901. its awesome!
