Music to my ears.

Anyone happen to know where the TweakEEE "norm" and "hi" icons are stored on install?

Tweakeee doesn't actually install an icon, unless your referring to the VLC, GIMP and gFTP icons. The actual icon that TweakEEE uses comes with the Asus Xandros distro, at least it should. I believe it is 3g_norm.  or 3g... something. they are located in /opt/xandros/share/AsusLauncher/ if memory serves me correctly...

@nyloncrack Original Post from Nyloncrack

1. Tweakeee currently just runs the command "sudo apt-get install vlc". So if you then go in terminal and try to execute the program with the command vlc and you get that error, then I'm afraid that I am unable to help you with that issue. Try searching around, or even try at your own risk  entering this command sudo apt-get install gnome-sudoku librsvg2-common libfam0. It's worth a shot.
The VLC buttons are greyed out because the program thinks that it is already installed. I believe it looks for /usr/bin/vlc to determine the greying out of the Install button, and it looks at tweakeee.cfg for the line VLCIcon=1 to determine if you can click the Add Icon button.

I am curious, what region was your eeepc purchased in?

2. You don't download PCManFM by clicking the source. That just is a link to the author's page, which is me trying to give credit where it is due.

3. Screen blanks out... well the whole screen doesn't blank if we are talking about the same issue, it is just the Tweakeee program window loses it's focus when Threading. I have put in some checks to minimize the occurrences. But occasionally TweakEEE might "lose focus internally on the widgets". It hasn't frozen, just click around the tweakeee window internally until you hit a widget, and it should gain focus (I like to click somewhere in the upper left half of the tweakeee window.

Again that is a rare occurrence for myself. If somebody is finding it a common occurrence, please let me know what steps you are conducting so I can reproduce it and fix it.

4. If you click the install button again, it should say that it is already installed. If not then simply open a terminal and type this command sudo apt-get install mplayer=1.0~rc1-12etch and if it says already installed, then you in business. if not, then install it .

5. I'll tell you how my script works when you add the button. IT copies the Existing /etc/acpi/lidbtn.sh into /home/user/.tweakeee/scripts/lidbtn.default
In which case I assumed that the default was the one that is there after an F9 factory reset (which is standby). So if you changed it on your own then the default won't necessarily be standby. I am posting the code from default on the eee wiki. You can paste this in place of your /home/user/.tweakeee/scripts/lidbtn.default

#!/bin/sh
LID_STATE=`cat /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state | awk '{print $2 }'`

if [ $LID_STATE = "closed" ] ; then
        /etc/acpi/suspend2ram.sh
fi
exit 0

I previously used the wiki hack where depending on if it was dc or ac powered determined whether it went to standby or shutdown. It also seemed much quicker than the method that is incorporated here.

Thanks I might include that feature.

6. Your welcome

Enjoy!

glad you enjoy it moz.

1. Yes I've somewhat addressed that issue in 0.4 which I'm working on now. IT sometimes happens that the package download/install is incomplete. so just follow these steps
a) Open a terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T)
b) enter the command sudo dpkg --configure -a
c) close the terminal and open Tweakeee, and install PCManFM again
2. Well audio volume can be set in a couple places.
a) First make sure your master sound is turned up ( Fn + F9 )
b) Right when you open up VLC you can see a little volume icon and a slider. You can max that out.
c) IF you go to Settings -> Preferences. You should see an audio selection in the left, and in the "General Audio SEttings" There is the default start.
You can play with the settings to find your preferred volume. Probably best to use the Fn +F9 rather than the software volume adjuster though.

Hrm,

Mplayer should be downgrading, the "shell feed box" that pops up might just not be updating 100% correctly. you can double check to see if it was installed by

a) open a terminal
b) enter the command sudo apt-get install mplayer=1.0~rc1-12etch
c) if it says package already installed, then you're good, if not then just choose yes if it prompts you.

As to you're VLC sound problem. did you try alsamixer as post #5 said?

if not just
a) open a terminal
b) enter alsamixer
c) you user the Arrow Keys to navigate. left and right select the column, up and down control the volume
The PCM column on my eeepc is Max (100<>100)
the LineOut column can vary, because if I press Fn + F9 it moves that column up, and F8 moves it down.
My four Mic columns seem to vary but all of them are at least 50%,
and my iSpeaker is 00

Beta 0.4 has been released. Not as large of an update as 0.3, but an update none the less.

Read about it here

or opening post.

Enjoy!

Looks great, a really useful upgrade

Three things: The PCManFM info link is broken. It should be http://pcmanfm.sourceforge.net/

Can the info webpages open in the default browser (ie Firefox in my case
), rather than konqueror?

I get a Segmentation fault, and Tweakeee exits when adding the extra repos. It starts to do it (the popup is visible and appears to be working) but ultimately fails

Thanks for the great work so far!

@ chasers04

Check your e-mail, lots of steps to follow for debugging

@ W1zard
1. Thanks, I'll add the new website to my things to do list.
2. Umm, in python I'm using the webbrowser.open("http://") which I assume it chooses the default browser you have set, so it's nothing I can configure, it is your machine. Plus it opens in firefox on my machine. You can maybe set your default browser in kcontrol?
3. Hrm, Seg fault. Is this only when you click the Add Repos button? Also you should only need to click it once, then use Update from then on. I've had it Crash once on me, when doing the Add Repos, and believe me I've hit that button 100's of times, so it might be a rare occurance. As long as you can do cat /etc/apt/sources.list and cat /etc/apt/preferences and the changes are added, then you're good and you can update repos then continue on.

@ windracer
your welcome

Well during the install it might have prompted you where to install icon, once you select it installs it to that tab, however it requires a reboot of asuslauncher, or the machine. You will then see it. If you selected different tabs during the install, then you might have it now installed in multiple tabs. Easy enough to remedy with EMEditor, which you can install with tweakeee.

Thanks for the info. I've had a look through kcontrol, which appears to have html pages associated with Firefox. Is this the correct setting or am I looking in the wrong place?

The repos appear to have added regardless of the crash, so you could be right, this might be an isolated incident. I was able to go on and install programs from the additional repos.

I had the same problem while doing some file manager deletes. When the deletes were finished, I clicked back on tweakee & noticed the screen did not repaint at all...but everything completed OK

Have been using tweakeee for a while now and look forward to each release. I'm having a bit of a problem with 0.4 though. Two things I've noticed today:

1. The 'Install' button for Easy Mode Editor does nothing.
2. I installed DigiKam ... but I can't find it anywhere! After the install finished, tweakeee crashed so I had to restart. The DigiKam icon didn't show up so I went back into Tweakeee an hit 'Add Icon'. Still no joy. And now both the 'Install' and 'Add Icon' buttons are greyed out.

Any ideas what I've done wrong?

Simply wonderful. Got me up an running in no time after an f9 yesterday.

sir marf, i tried upgrading my version 0.3 by overwriting it with version 0.4. after the installation, there are now two teakeee icons in my settings tab. both get linked to the latest version though. is there a problem in my installation?

i would also like to suggest a link/program/shortcut on how to free up space on the ssd. i have the 2g surf with only 4% space left

thanks!
