does your wifi work on ubuntu if it does how did you get it to work

[gurupivy]

yes it works great out of box on ubuntu 8.10 and i think it will work on 9.04 too. Otherwise you could search the SICKBOY kernel

hey if u install ubuntu of a memory pen then once its all installed will you have to keep the memory pen in all the time ? thanks

[gurupivy]

yes because it works only on the penddrive trough the I/O operations

[carrierpilot1357]

will this void the warranty?

[gurupivy]

no it won't

[carrierpilot1357]

I've been trying to just use ubuntu liveusb with the read write ability so i dont have to install it. however, i keep getting an error that i have no more space, which is impossible because my usb is 8gb and the ubuntu is only 700mb. i know i have at least 6 gigs ready as the /home directory but its not letting me use it. got any ideas?

[gurupivy]

I don't know... probably it means the space on your ramdisk which is 512 mb. You should controll how your filesystem is organized in /etc/fstab or check the partition table of the pendrive through pmagic.

I hope this can help you bye

Hi men, where can I download such USB?

[gurupivy]

you can use the livecd of ubuntu, start it then connect to internet and type in the terminal: sudo apt-get install liveusb.

this package will help you in creating a liveusb of ubuntu

bye

[ChaosAngel667]

Thanks men, I will do it right now. I buy an Aspire ONE just today but I didn't like the SO.

To install it just need to boot from USB?

Jejeje so enoing but I don't want to take risks with this beauty.

[gurupivy]

yes after created it you can just use it like a livecd and install ubuntu. Don't worry about the risk, remebmer that you have the recovery cd!

bye

[ChaosAngel667]

Yup I have the CD recovery... but not a place where to put such CD on the notebook so... I will be really carefull lol. Thanks again men.

[gurupivy]

you can use a normal pc with a dvd drive to create the recovery usb! Acer thought at all

i am getting the 1gb ram and 120gb hard drive

i hope to put ubuntu and vista on it

[gurupivy]

great man! they will work for sure! you have enough hd and ram!

[gurupivy]

it is great also with 512 mb ram and ubuntu runs very fast! but linpus runs fast too and with same mods it is really good!
