Ubuntu 10.10 - HP Mini 110

Ubuntu netbook edition on an HP Mini 110. Can't get wifi working, tho. Trackpad performance isn't that great, either, at least compared to Win7 Starter that came with the netbook.

Fix to get wifi working can be found here.

how are u flipping between screens

i only can use the workspace

@SharikShakil Install compiz settings manager, then enable Cube desktop. Then ctrl + alt + arrow keys to switch spaces. Or ctrl + alt + shift + arrow keys to drag the current window to another space.

@Fragalishus Thanks man, its works beautifully on my mini

though i still have some issues, especially on wobbly window.

even the wifi is working

@SharikShakil Yeah the onboard video on this mini is...not good. Cube runs flawlessly on my quad core desktop, tho.

hey, i like you video. I have the same laptop, and can you tell me how to get the internet working once you found out how to? Thanks.

[Fragalishus]

@chasinghobos Not sure if you ever found a fix or not, but I added a link in the "info" area that worked for me, but I am using 10.04 now, not sure if that made any difference.

Basically installing the Broadcom driver in Synaptic or via the "hardware drivers" menu didn't help, but right clicking the package from the iso and installing that way did. Still shows a red exclamation mark in the panel, but it is connected and working, and am using it to type this.

@Fragalishus thank you, and i did, it's works great, but i bet not as well as it would if it was fully installed in a partition on my drive. my netbook already has 4 :\

@mrtn474 For this video I had just installed via Windows with wubi. I also created a bootable SD card using Unetbootin (I think, anyway) which worked, but was a little sluggish, performance-wise. Might give that a shot.

I installed ubuntu on a live usb drive and tried to boot it from my hp mini 110 as well, but it only shows copyright information. ubuntu will not boot up
