So....I've had a Meerkat Ion for about a year or so. Great little machine, but I've always been disappointed with how loud it is. I know noise is subjective, but it made clicking and other odd...

BUMP. I'd REALLY like to get Natty installed tonight. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

So, according to the System76 wiki the function keys to press (depending on System76 PC model) are F1, F2, F7, and F10. None of these keys function on my Meerkat Ion; however, F11 does get me to a...

Anyone want to throw me a bone or give me a place to start?

So, my wifi on my Asus Eee PC 1000HD has been working great for several months, then, this past week my wifi is super slow and disconnects quite a bit. My only thought is that a recent Ubuntu update...

I can take some pictures, otherwise could I just run it fanless? I use my Meerkat Ion for streaming music, browsing the web, email, and watching the occasional video. I'm not doing any intense...

Well, I'm not really looking for higher air flow, rather a fan that runs quiet. The fan in this PC has been getting louder and louder. I don't think I should hear the PC running more than 50 feet...

So I've had my Meerkat Ion for about 6 months or so. When I first got it everything was great. A few weeks into ownership the CPU fan was making lots of clicking sounds that were pretty loud. I...

Thomas, I looked and I have an "ANT 1" and "ANT 2" nipple on the card, but I didn't try changing it. If I run straight wi-fi I'll try moving the wire, but for now (since I'm running ethernet) I...

I use ethernet on my PC, so my point is moot. However, my Meerkat Ion is about 10 feet away from my wifi router and it generally shows 1 bar of signal. You'd think that at 10 feet away you'd have...

That fixed it! Thanks everyone!

One thing I forgot to mention is I'm running 10.04 64bit (Meerkat Ion) so I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not. Thanks again for taking your time to help me though!

Are you referring to this workaround?

"WORKAROUND 3: Open a terminal and enter:
$ gksudo gedit /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/i386/linux/npviewer
Then add: export GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 before the last...

I didn't try hitting tab or spacebar, but when I click on the play arrow on top of the video, or the play button on the the bottom tool bar (underneath the video) nothing happens.

So, I've had this happen a few times and just wondering if it's a limitation of Ubuntu. Take this link for example:
...

Another thing to consider, is I believe the Meerkat series is more energy efficient. To me, that was important since I'll be leaving my PC on quite a bit to stream music to my Android phone.
...

Can't go wrong with the Meerkat Ion. That's what I just got and it's a slick little machine!

Tell me about it. :-) However, I feel like a big jerk after this whole ordeal. I'm the type of guy that can't relax if something is broken and needs to be fixed...it simply eats at me. Silly I...

Cool. I have a picture of the fan if that would help. But seriously, the pictures I sent you are all the labels I have. I looked for a long time too, because there was a tornado warning that night...

Ahhhhhh. Well that makes sense. I guess I was a bit confused because the System76 driver was listed in the Preferences/Admin area so I figured I'd need to download those again.

Thanks!

Tom. Thank you very much for the response. Again, my apologies for being short tempered. Nobody wants to be the one who buys something new and has problems right off the bat. I understand...

That's how I did mine and it still doesn't work.

Tom,

Sorry for being an a**. I've got a cold, I threw out my back, and had a bad day at work. When I tried to call System76 support last night when I got home, I found out the support hours...

Welcome to the club.

So, I know I praised System76 in getting back to me when I had several questions regarding their PCs. I've was so impressed that I decided to purchase a system from them. Fast forward a couple days...
