Hey, Kunin,

thanks so much for posting about the Ubuntu EEE. I was having troubles deciding which one I wanted to go with and this was perfect. Please do tell me though, did you get the webcam working on yours? My webcam doesnt want to work on my 701.

Hi,

the LAN drivers worked fine, until I’ve tried to setup the wlan, following the instructions for madwifi and made a nasty typo, installed packages for kernel…16 instead of 19

After reboot LAN wouldn’t work, and the attempt of reinstalling the driver results in the same error Chris Gray has: Makefile 62: *** Linux kernel source not found. Stop.

I’m running ubuntu eee 8.04 though.

Hi, I get stuck trying to compile the drivers, I get “*** Linux kernel source not found. Stop.”

I’m using OpenSuse 11.

Yank the battery to turn off the eeepc? LOL man

Just like most computers, to force it off, you push and hold the power button 5 seconds…

You could also use alt sysrq reisuo which is a linux forced graceful shutdown (switch o with b to reboot instead).
