    Re: eee control not working on ubuntu 10.04

    So is every one using a ubunutu 10.04 version of eee control? I am still using this version http://danamlund.dk/eee-control/eee-control.html

    Thanks, I don't think that was around when the RC was released!

    Re: eee control not working on ubuntu 10.10

    On an Asus eeepc, I am unable to run the eee control utility will under 10.10. The symptoms are the same as reported for 10.04, but the fix reported in this other thread (setting acpi_osi=Linux in /etc/default/grub, followed by sudo update-grub) does not work.

    Anyone know if the kernel option changed? Or if this is a fresh bug?

    Any clues gratefully received.

    (EDIT: Never mind. The PC is not an eeepc, but an Atom netbook by another maker.)

    I know it's the wrong hardware, but I'm not sure, mine seems to be working in 10.10 after upgrading from 10.04 although it doesn't seem quite as slick as before. Depending on what you are trying to do I use the CPU Frequency monitor on the panel to scale the power, but that doesn't solve the APCI problems.

    Re: eee control not working on ubuntu 10.04

    Hi,

    I have a Asus 1005HA running Ubuntu 10.04 lts Netbook Edition, running
    Kernel 2.6.32-26-generic.

    I recently installed eee-control using a old deb package, 0.9.4, and it
    worked well.

    I then checked and found the newest version and installed 0.9.6 using
    the deb package. It now tells me "error commucationg with
    eee-control-daemon! make sure it is running".

    I have attempted to uninstall it and revert to 0.9.4, but when
    attempting to uninstall using the package manger, I get this error:

    E: eee-control: subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error
    exit status 1


    How would I go about fixing this?

    Thanks

    I would presume the fact that it says sub process installed means that eee-control-daemon is installed, when you select to uninstall it with synaptic it should give you the option for a complete uninstall (can't remeber the phraseing and currently on a uni box with XP). However first try running eee-control-daemon from teminal and then running eee control as you were, and have a look to see what the result is.

    Hope that helps

    Starting eee-control-daemon seems to do nothing.

    And complete uninstall gives me the same error.

    no idea what that site is, I thought this was the main development site:
