Guide to Get the Best Performace from the GMA 500

[.fly]

've no problems reaching this website from my Vodaphone/Arcor account.

Not all arcor ip ranges have been blocked. I have a confirmation from mplayerhq.hu for 88.64.0.0/12 and there are some more ranges confirmed by tests.

But on the other hand, I've changed the standard DNS setting in my router recently (currently, I'm using Google at 8.8.4.4 . http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2010/09/h...ster-browsing/

If you're able to change your DNS setting in your router easily, I'd recommend trying that. Write down your settings though in case something breaks

Maybe borghal should try it, over here the DNS works fine. IP gets resolved but the servers close connection immediately.

Sorry for hijacking this thread; will stay on topic now

Hi all

Just one question - is this the longest forum ever?
of about 201 pages?

Thank you all guys for making Linux so wonderful

Hello Everybody,

I try to install Ubuntu 10.04.1 to my netbook.
Actually i try to get poulsbo-config_0.1.2~1004um3_all.deb but....

Can somebody upload it again.
Thanks a lot.

Best regards

For Ubuntu Studio user (RT Kernel):

Bug: psb-kernel-source - package fails to install on rt-kernel

This repository contains an update psb-kernel-source,
let me know if ok and i'll update the main gma500 ppa.

Tried it and works great so far! Thanks Luca!

About your maverick-fix PPA: I tried it and looks ok, except I can't use the unity interface, everything is distorted on the screen, which is what I got on Lucid too, trying Unity from the PPA. Should I post a log?

Hi,

thanks lucazade for the tip.

Now i have another problem.
I install ubuntu 10.04.1 at my netbook.
After restart i just try to install the kernel with power patch.

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:brian-rogers/power
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.35-power+18-generic linux-image-2.6.35-power+18-generic

But after next restart i've got a blank screen and a lot of errors. There are many EXT4-fs error or Failed to spawn ufw pre-start process or avahi-daemon main process and so on.

Did anybody have the same problems and maybe a solution.

I have a Dell Mini 10 with a Agility SSD.

Thanks a lot Micha

Ok thanks for reporting.
Have you tried compiz workaround for Unity? (exanocomposite in xorg.conf)
If possible open a bug here and attach logs.

try these:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get purge psb-kernel-source
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install psb-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install poulsbo-driver-2d poulsbo-driver-3d poulsbo-config

Hello Guys,

I very late to the game here on the GMA 500, just got a netbook (acer 751h) a few days ago and fighting to get it to work!

I've read back through this thread and the wiki page here but there is something I am not clear on.

For lucid, using the official iso, should I install the gma500-ppa-lucid ppa _and_ the poulsbo-lucid-fix ppa? Or is it better just to re-install with lucazade's remixed iso?

BTW, thanks for all your hard work here, lucazade and everyone else involved!
