Look at this post: http://bit.ly/KH1uJ7
It seems a lot of people are experiencing the same exact problem. Have you tried to keep the computer on without the wireless driver on to see if this...
I had the same problem. I think what is happening is that grub 1.99 is not installed in the mbr. Not sure why. Does it say grub 1.98 on your grub console? I fixed the problem with the following...
Thomas, you were right. For some reasons after the BIOS upgrade the automatic iGPU FrameBuffer detection was disabled and only 64MB were dedicated to that. I wonder what the negative consequences of...
So I remembered correctly, before the update it was 3328MB, and after the update it is now 3459MB. Not that much more but still appreciated. Maybe it is just a different BIOS configuration rather...
Actually, www.frozencup.com sells some 60mm PWM fans:

These fans would be indeed...
I do use a 64 bit kernel. Still, the BIOS has some limitations. I see exactly 3459MB of memory now. I think the right amount should be 4096-256=3840MB, since 256MB are shared with the graphic unit. I...
I actually did a lot of search in the fan issue. I am mainly bothered by the fact that the fan is not like a laptop fan which will turn off while the computer is idling. Although, I have to say that...
I have finally found out how to start up the system from the BIOS in the Meerkat Ion NetTop. When you plug a USB stick, most BIOS will just recognize it as an additional booting device and let you...
Actually, now that I am back home, I can see that the motherboard is a Zotac IONITX-F and not G. From the manual, I can see that there are some fan controls that you can access from the BIOS,...
Well, when I was at work with the Meerkat I could not hear it either. My desktop at work compared is a turbo jet, but it probably consumes constantly more than 150W. In the privacy of my room at home...
The fan ran either case all the time. The coretemp module is just to check the temperature sensors.
Well, of course the noise problem might be subjective. But it is objective that the fan is...
By the way, I installed Ubuntu Karmic on the Meerkat Ion. I had my own hard drive, so I did not used the shop installation of Ubuntu. Then I also patched and installed the coretemp module, since the...
I actually ended up installing the system booting the usb stick from another computer, so definitely the usb stick is bootable. Maybe it matters which usb port the usb stick is plugged to? I will...
I just got today my Meerkat Ion NetTop. This little machine is great, I am impressed how easy was to setup Ubuntu on it. Everything works flawlessly. The only nuance I have found was that the machine...
@Uli_of, where can I find the cpufreq-via source code? Also, did you have to recompile the whole 2.6.32 kernel to make it work?
Actually yes, you can. That is what I have done. I used unetbootin to install Ubuntu Karmic on a USB stick and then I copied the two deb files on the same USB stick. Why would that be not allowed?
@yoshiki2 just follow the steps described on the wiki:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NC20/
And if you have problems let me know.
I have got the same problem, not sure how to deal with it though.
@ja2z the problem with the video is that Ubuntu Jaunty does not come with a working video driver for the VX800 chipset (and neither Karmic does). So you need to work on that. I rewrote parts of the...
Ok, you will have first to download the GFX driver for Ubuntu 9.04 for VX800 from the via website:

Install the Xorg driver and the libGL...
Do you get wireless lock-ups which require reboot to have the wireless working again? I still get those with 2.6.31-4, with the usual dmesg output:
Does anybody have any insight on this? Is...
tom09, thanks for your help. With your patch (http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=133328&d=1256670424), your xorg.conf, and the latest Xorg driver from via I finally got everything to...
Thanks tom09, I will try that when I get home. Although this brings me again to the same question. Why do via releases a driver which is supposed to contain a user guide which is missing and with an...
tom09, I used your via_chrome9 code to compile the driver and I installed the X drivers from the via website (http://linux.via.com.tw/). Although, I cannot get it to work properly. I think the...
