Has anyone successfully installed Ubunto 8.04 on the eeepc 900 and had the wireless working? I followed the instructions on the ubuntu forums ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes ) trying both madwifi and Ndiswrapper. Neither worked. Has anyone any idea what I'm doing wrong? TIA

Yes, I have.
I just used this script after the regular Ubuntu install, and all was working. Make sure wifi is switched on. Turning the eee off, disconnecting power and battery, and leaving it for a minute is reported to cure odd network problems when everything should work, but somehow doesn't.

Thanks for that. There seem to be a few scripts in this folder, which do I use - or do I use all of them?
thanks!

I've used the latest for 900; ftp://ftp.samiux.com/public/eeepc/ubunt … 900-1.3.sh

Brilliant! Thanks!
Now - as an absolute Ubuntu Noob, how do I run a script?
Thanks

If you downloaded it to your home folder, open a terminal, and enter
sudo ./ubuntu-8.04-eeetweak-eeepc900-1.3.sh

what fixes are included in this script? im trying to decide between a straight ubuntu install versus eeexubuntu.
Offline
Why don't you dl the script and read it? It's well commented.
To sum it up:
Configures Gnome Settings (yes, this works for both Ubunty and Xubuntu - font sizes and stuff)
Installs ACPI modules
Installs MadWiFi WLAN driver
Installs OSD
Fixes the shutdown problem
Fine tunes the file system (temp files in ram)
Installs CPU Speed Scaling
What does not work after this is web cam and mic - Web cam is solved in another thread. Mic seems like noone has figured out yet. And I doubt neither works with eeeXubuntu too.

Thanks for your help - I'm back at my computer now - and have tried entering
sudo ./ubuntu-8.04-eeetweak-eeepc900-1.3.sh
but I get the message
sudo: unable to execute ./ubuntu-8.04-eeetweak-eeepc900-1.3.sh: no such file or directory
I am definitely in the correct directory - if I enter
sudo gedit ubuntu-8.04-eeetweak-eeepc900-1.3.sh
I can edit the file.
Any ideas. Sorry about this- absolute noob!

First, make sure it's executable with
chmod +x ubuntu-8.04-eeetweak-eeepc900-1.3.sh
Still no joy?
Try
sudo xterm
and then in the new (root) terminal window execute ubuntu-8.04-eeetweak-eeepc900-1.3.sh (without sudo).

I have a working mic. It's solved here:
http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?id=30029
and with these settings it works:

Aufnahme = Capture

Mic must be muted:

Then I really don't know what's wrong.
Can you run any shell script?

I haven't got one to try. I originally downloaded the eeetweak file onto my mac and thought that I might have changed it when I looked at it in my text editor. I tried redownloading from my eeepc but he file seems to be unavailable.
Do you have a suggestion for a shell script I could try?
Thanks :-)

Open the scrip in MousePad or GEdit and make sure it's saved in UNIX format with just LF as line terminator - not cr/lf

Hi Zilver,
it seems that the link is broken, can you post the content of the "ubuntu-8.04-eeetweak-eeepc900-1.3.sh" file?
Thanks!

Hi Guys,
I had a problem with that script, specifically with the wireless install. I made the following changes
ORIGINAL LINE: cd madwifi-nr-r3366+ar5007
CHANGES TO : cd madwifi-ng-r3366+ar5007
ORIGINAL LINE: sudo rm -R ~/madwifi-nr*
CHANGES TO: sudo rm -R ~/madwifi-ng*
It looks like the directory that the wifi drivers get extracted to is different then the one referenced.
Hope this helps some people.

Good catch digitalhysteria!!!!
Mine was doing the same thing. That solved it.

Thanks for your help - I'll finally got this script to run. Problem is I still can't connect through wifi. What exactly am I supposed to do to get connected?
Thanks
