Aspire One How to: disable lid close standby

[msdeathz123]

Thank you so much skateasian.... ;))

Dear skateasian,

Your video demonstration made it so convenient to remotely help my father, who is 80+ years of age, in configuring his Aspire One for use with an external HDTV monitor with the lid close. Thank you so much for taking the time in making it available. Sincerely, egc-VirginiaBeach

are u able to make the desktop normal, not like this weird list thing?

[castelsylv]

to faypor, you can export you compiz settings, but normally they should be the same when you run : compiz-manager

[faypor]

each time i reboot my acer i have to reconfigure the compiz settings, how do i keep them the way i want them to be??

Just wanted to say thanks for these aspire one review videos!

You have the best reviews of all the important aspects of the AO I've ever seen. You certainly seem to know what you're talking about and know what you're doing. I love that you've decided to keep Linux on it.

Very impressed with your knowledge and experience on the subject as most people who are as knowledgeable as yourself are usually not that helpful to others.

You must be a very cool person.

And yeah, Acer owes you big time.

oh never mind I just realized its right by where ur showin us in this vid

[Drummerdude1639]

is there anyway to change the amount of time b4 it goes into standby on its own?

It seems like mine goes into standby after about 5 minutes. :\

I love my aspire one but it seems that whenever it goes into standby after about 20 minutes I can't get it out of standby. The wifi light is on and the system green light is on but nothing will wake it from its slumber. I was considering just turning off standby mode because I have to reboot the system whenever this happens. My aunts aspire one also does this so it would be helpful to get this figured out.

i have exactly the same thing :x hope someone comes with a solution...

[thecholorules]

[pembez]

you makin life good innit

[jasulliv3]

Thanks, very good videos. As a suggestion how about adding something that requires you to us add remove programs and repository's. like maybe VLC Player, Firefox3 or the other useful programs that don't come preinstalled and don't have a helpful web download page that supports Linux like Skype did. thanks again
