Thanks for everything.

hello!

i uploaded a new version (eee1015pn-acpitools 0.7.3) to the ppa. It should get installed automatically once you run a system upgrade. To trigger such an upgrade now use

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

It's a bugfix for the broken glx libs after a dist-upgrade. If you upgraded from oneiric to precise and get a broken desktop (no 3d because libglx ABI version doesn't match the server's version) run:

sudo display-settings regenerate-glx

This will update the glx libraries and remove the mismatch error. You need to re-login to make Xorg reload the libglx.so files.

Thanks guitwo for reporting this bug!

Hi Mtron.

I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit onto my 1015PN, and also your scripts. All runs perfectly well out-of-the-box. Thanks a lot for your work.

Hi again !

Here's a little thing about wifi power tweaks.
On my distro it's not called "wlan0" but "eth1".

When trying with "wlan0" I got the message "no such device". Looking with ifconfig it seems I have eth0 and eth1. The operation was not supported for eth0 but worked with eth1. So I guess eth1 is my broadcasting device.

Here's another thing :
When waking up for hibernation, sometimes I get messages about :

Uhhuh. Intel reveived for unknown reason 3d on CPU 0 #(or someting like that)
do you have strange power saving mode enable?
Dazed and confused but trying to continue


PS: I changed my 32bits distro of precise to the 64bits version. It seems to be quite faster.

nice, i like

@guitwo the wlan name depends on the driver you use (open source 'brcmsmac' or closed source 'wl'). one calls the wlan device eth1 (eth0 is always the wired port) the other driver calls it wlan1.

Uhhuh. Intel reveived for unknown reason 3d on CPU 0 #(or someting like that)
do you have strange power saving mode enable?
Dazed and confused but trying to continue

this is caused by the Super hybrid engine (SHE). If you hibernate when running in "power save" mode, you will get this message because the power saving feature undervolts the mainboard and processor so it confuses the kernel a bit but should not yield any other negative effects.

Great, I supposed it was somehow related to Jupiter SHE but wanted to be sure.

Hello!

I have pushed a new version (eee1015pn-acpitools 0.7.4) to the ppa. It should get installed automatically once you run a system upgrade. To trigger such an upgrade now use

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Changelog:

* vga-selector-gui: added support for Cinnamon Desktop Environment
* vga-selector-gui: some fixes for second xserver in optimus mode
* fixvga.conf: added trigger for mint display manager
* dropped dependency on lm-sensors. temperature readings are taken from /sys/class/hwmon/hwmon1/device node

Note for Cinnamon users:

Cinnamon is the default Desktop Environment on Linux Mint 13 (a ubuntu spin based on precise) that comes with Mint Display Manager (mdm). This display manager is still buggy and does not emit a notification event to the system i use to trigger the auto display configuration.

So replace mdm with lightdm. Instructions are here

Note to everybody doing a fresh install:

If you do a fresh install of ubuntu don't forget to run a full system upgrade.

You will get a new kernel (currently 3.2.0-24-generic) and it is very important to reboot with this new kernel (as the system instructs you) before you install the acpitools package or the install of the acpi call dkms kernel module will fail.

I can't fix this because there is a bug in ubuntu's dkms package that installs a new module only on the currently running kernel. So if there is a later kernel version installed - but not in use - you won't get the module for this newer kernel.

Thanks to Frank Materna for the dkms bugreport and the help to add cinnamon support!

Hi guys, when running:

sudo apt-get install eee1015pn-acpitools build-essential debhelper module-assistant lm-sensors

I always get: eee1015pn-acpitools not found

Does anybody know why and what I can do about it?

[mtron]

Hello!

Did you add the ppa repository like this?

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mtron/eee1015pn
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install eee1015pn-acpitools

what distro are you using ?

[gumbomumbo]

Thats exactly what I did. I'm using bodhi linux, which is based on the minimal version of ubuntu. Any other ubuntu-program I've tried to install so far, worked without flaws. Can you think of a workaround for this? Thanks for your help, appreciate it.
