Asus G1S OLED on Intrepid 64 Bit

[noahTHEpurdy]

Hey all. I have searched and searched and I tried both the "lonewolf" scripts and a few other things to get the OLED on my G1S running but I just can't seem to.

For those that have, can you give me the step by step? Thanks.

Thank you Costin for updating the script to work in Intrepid and the tip on getting it to start at boot. Solution can be found here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php...3&postcount=15

Have you tried this solution:

and this solution:

http://asusg1s.wikidot.com/ubuntu-7-10

Thank you hotweiss;

I followed the instructions at the bottom of the page of the following site:

http://asusg50oled.sourceforge.net/

I get to this point:

# ./start.sh
# utils/install.sh

When I run the start.sh file, my OLED display displays like it correctly should, however when I run the install.sh file in the utils directory I get the following:

Found acpid as /etc/init.d/acpid, installing event handlers in /etc/acpi
 * Reloading ACPI services...                                            [ OK ] 
Installing Ubuntu/Debian startup script
update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/asusg50leds.sh missing LSB style header
 System startup links for /etc/init.d/asusg50leds.sh already exist.

When I restart my system, the OLED does not load the drivers / script automatically and just displays the standards ASUS logo. I tried adding the start.sh script to my sessions list, but that didn't work and doesn't seem like the correct thing to do.

Any ideas?

PS: Zeitgeist was an excellent movie.

Did you try following these instructions from that page:

* # We have to work as root
* sudo su -
* # Make sure all the required packages are installed
* apt-get install sun-java6-bin subversion make gcc smartmontools netcat
* update-alternatives --set java /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
* # Get the latest version of asus_oled and install it
* cd /usr/src/
* svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/lapsus/asus_oled/trunk asus_oled
* cd asus_oled
* make
* make install
* # Load asus_oled before usbhid (2.6.28 will contain the fix for this)
* rmmod usbhid
* modprobe asus_oled
* modprobe usbhid
* dmesg | grep asus-oled

[ 23.216917] asus-oled 4-4:1.0: Attached Asus OLED device: G50 [width 256, pack_mode 1]
[ 23.216933] usbcore: registered new interface driver asus-oled

* # Get and install the daemon
* cd /opt/
* wget http://asusg50oled.sourceforge.net/d...susg50oled.tgz
* tar -xzf asusg50oled.tgz
* cd asusg50oled
* ./start.sh
* utils/install.sh
* # See how to configure the daemon and the notifications
* less README

I don't have a G50, so I can't troubleshoot this problem on my side.

[noahTHEpurdy]

Yes. I have a G1S, not a G50.

I did those instructions. The ./start.sh runs perfectly and it displays on the OLED, but when I do install I get the error that I listed above. (Second code box I posted.)

What about just copying start.sh into your /etc/init.d directory so it simply starts when Ubuntu starts?
