Looking for acer aspire one linpus file firefox3.sh.zip

Hi
I've just reinstalled Linux Linpus lite on my netbook and want to upgrade from ff2 to ver 3 but the files on acer's support website have been removed. The live update works but doesn't update Firefox properly. So I was wondering if you had an acer specific update file anywhere? The specific file I'm after is Firefox3.sh.zip. I;ve been in touch with acer and have had no luck....
Thanks Tom

That file was probably created by Linpus or by Acer specifically for their program repository and not available from other sources, Mozilla only offers '''tar''' packages for Linux. 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux
That version of Linpus Lite may not even have the correct "packages" for Firefox 3+ versions, the key "package" is usually the GTK package being too old. 
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements-v3.html 
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html - 3.5 & 3.6
Linux on Netbooks only seemed to be popular for a short time here in the US, and IMO, Microsoft killed that "wave" by extending the date they allowed OEM's to sell WinXP Netbooks - until MS could come up with a Win7 Netbook OS. ''(That "date" was almost 2 years later than they allowed the OEM's to install WinXP on any other type of PC. The cost to OEM's was in the range of a couple of dollars, almost matching the zero-cost of Linux to consumers. "Smart marketing" or taking advantage of their "leverage" over OEM's and MS's almost monopolistic control of the OS market to OEM's?)'' As a result, there's little incentive for the various Netbook maker's to keep their Linux software repositories updated and to keep developing the operating system to keep pace with other Linux distros. MS shut that down fast, IMO.

I have an ASUS EeePC 900A, which I bought in Aug 2008, that came with Xandros Linux - Newegg offered me a WinXP OEM disk for $10 with the purchase of the EeePC. That version of Xandros Linux wasn't ever updated by ASUS to be able to run Firefox 3, but I found some Linux forum threads that provided a '''''sh''''' script that would both update the GTK package that Xandros needed for Firefox 3+ versions and install Firefox 3. After the update / installation was complete, I discovered how slow Firefox 3 ran on that old Xandros Linux operating system - it was worse with Firefox 3 than my old Pentium II 350MHz PC w/512 MB RAM was, even though the EeePC has a 900MHz processor and double the RAM (1GB). I dumped Xandros and installed the Ubuntu derived EasyPeasy OS, that came with Firefox 3.6 .
My advice is to install something like the Ubuntu Netbook Edition operating system, or one of the Ubuntu-offshoots like EasyPeasy; both of which come with one of the latest versions of Firefox, and are active projects.

My Acer Aspire One (Linpus lite) has downloaded firefox 4 but I can't open it!

My firefox browser informed me automatically that there was a more recent version and I agreed to install it. Since then whenever I click on the icon the timer spiral operates for a second then nothing happens.
Could sort this in windows but the Acer One makes accessing these sorts of things complicated for non-linux aware people - any help gratefully received!

If your AA1 is still behaving properly (except for Firefox) see here:

Linux-one - kernel for acer aspire one

i'm recently bought an acer aspire one d255e and found the linux-one kernel in the AUR. linux-one
i would like to know what your comments, tips and improvements are.
i'm not the maintainer of the package just an user. I will try to build this kernel this afternoon and post some comments.
please feel free to comment if this kernel work in your acer aspire one and what modification you have done in the config to get your aao working.

I have a aao 532h with an Atom N450 processor and use the kernel-netbook package which also supports Atom N550 processors. It works 'out of the box' on my machine and the only thing I would think to check in the config for yours is support for your graphics which I believe is Intel GMA 3150.
I haven't tried the linux-one package as it's for the first aao netbook that came out which didn't have bluetooth.

How do I install the latest version of Firefox on my Acer Aspire One running Linpus Linux Lite?

I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. It runs "Linpus Linux Lite" OS. It came with Forefox 2 installed. I have searched the web for advice on how to upgrade to Firefox 3.5.
I had a go at it, I have now lost Firefox 2, but failed to install a later version.
Can someone tell me how t0 get either Firefox 2 back, or better still, unstall Firefox 3.5?
I should say that I'm a novice so I need really basic instructions.
If this plea for help doesn't work, I'll take my netbook to my local PC chap & ask for Windows to be installed on it!
Thanks.

Wireless with acer aspire one linux linpus

hi everyone, have just had replacement hh3 which is connecting ok wireless to my laptop, but my wife has little acer aspire one which used to connect ok but now wont, it does pick up the fon sometimes but i would like it how it was and connecting directly to the hub. it does connect ok using a cable but not wireless. any help or suggestions please.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would expect if you deleted all the existing wifi connections and then reboot. look for wireless connections available then select your ssid then connect - it will ask for key/password then enter then connect. it would normally save infor but I am not a linux user - works in windows

Many thanks for a reply. It's good to get some feedback at least. I must admit I won't be too concerned if it's not compatible as I've since migrated to more useful tablet devices. This thing was always a bit of a mistake, especially with the annoyingly useless android bolt on. But as I use it for the occasional larger screen benefit and printer link, it would be good to have the benefit of latest MS. It still raises the question of why Acer at least can't provide a definitive list. After all there must be many other idiots like me that bought one? Thanks again

[HOWTO] Installing Arch Linux stable release on Acer Aspire One 522

[This is a work on progress and my first howto ever]
These steps will teach you how to install ArchLinux x64 stable release (currently 2010.05) on Acer Aspire One 522 from an existing ArchLinux (your desktop computer)
As you need a 2.6.37+ kernel to make networking work on the AO522, installing stable release as is won't work.
This Howto borns with the intention to address this problem.
You need to be familiarized with Linux internals to follow this howto.
(Expect this howto to become useless with new stable releases of ArchLinux.)
Remember to make a backup of your Windows 7 Starter system before installing ArchLinux.
I did a full raw copy of the harddisk by using systemrescuecd, an external harddisk and dd utility:
Just boot with systemrescuecd
Mount your external harddisk on /mnt/floppy for example
Clone harddisk with: dd if=/dev/sda |gzip -c > /mnt/floppy/ao522.img
This process took me a lot of time since my external harddisk is USB-1 (almost an entire evening)
Result image was about 22GB size
This image will restore partition table, boot sector and all data if things go wrong.
I followed some of the steps from this guide: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
If you have some Gentoo Linux experience you will find those steps really familiar.
You will need 2 USB pendrives or similar storage options.
One is needed to boot into your netbook, and the other to store our custom archlinux build.
Making an updated ArchLinux system
1) Make a local dir on your existing linux system
# mkdir ./newarch
2) Install pacman database on it
# pacman -Sy -r ./newarch
3) Install base system
# pacman -S base -r ./newarch
4) Let's chroot inside
# cp /etc/resolv.conf ./newarch/etc/
# cp /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist ./newarch/etc/pacman.d
# mount -t proc proc ./newarch/proc
# mount -t sysfs sys ./newarch/sys
# mount -o bind /dev ./newarch/dev
# chroot ./newarch /bin/bash
5) Edit configuration files
# nano -w /etc/rc.conf
# nano -w /etc/hosts
# nano -w /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
Forget /etc/fstab for now since you don't know what partitions to use yet
6) Generate kernel image
# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
7) Generate locales
# nano -w /etc/locale.gen
# locale-gen
8) Make a tarball with our custom ArchLinux
# exit
# umount ./newarch/proc
# umount ./newarch/dev
# umount ./newarch/sys
# tar -cvpf newarch.tar ./newarch
9) Copy this tarball to an USB pendrive or external harddisk
10) Boot your netbook with a Linux bootable USB stick (I used systemrescuecd, and remember to pick the x64 bit kernel at grub screen)
You can use any linux distribution with usb bootable options. I suppose ArchLinux works too
To install SystemRescueCD on an USB stick follow this tutorial -> SystemRescueCD on usb stick
Insert the usb stick on your netbook, switch on, hit F2 to enter BIOS menu, and choose to boot from USB as first option. Save and Exit.
You should be booting into SystemRescueCD without any problem.
After initialization you will end in a root prompt.
11) Let's partition the disk
You will find 3 partitions if this is your first time:
/dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 29566976 488397167 229312696 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
My recomendation is to leave sda1 and sda2 intact, as they have the recovery information to restore Windows 7 Starter
You have plenty of space with sda3, about 230G.
So run fdisk/cfdisk and delete /dev/sda3
Now create a 100M partition for boot
Now create a Extended partition with all the space left
Now create a 1GB logical partition for swap
Now create a 10-15 GB logical partition for root system
And finally a logical partition for our home partition with all space left
Your partition table should look like this:
/dev/sda1 2048 29362175 14680064 27 Hidden NTFS WinRE
/dev/sda2 * 29362176 29566975 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda3 29566976 29771775 102400 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 29771776 488397167 229312696 5 Extended
/dev/sda5 29773824 31821823 1024000 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 31823872 63281151 15728640 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 63283200 488397167 212556984 83 Linux
12) Create filesystems
I choosed ext2 for boot, and reiserfs for root and home partitions.
# mke2fs /dev/sda3
# mkreiserfs /dev/sda6
# mkreiserfs /dev/sda7
# mkswap /dev/sda5
13) Mount partitions
# mkdir arch
# mount /dev/sda6 arch
# mkdir arch/boot
# mount /dev/sda3 arch/boot
# mkdir arch/home
# mount /dev/sda7 arch/home
14) Copy our custom ArchLinux build on it
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/floppy (for example)
# cd arch
# tar -xvpf /mnt/flopy/newarch.tar
15) Configure /etc/fstab
Mine is as follows:
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda3 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda6 / reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda7 /home reiserfs defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
16) Chroot in your new system
# mount -t proc proc ./proc
# mount -t sysfs sys ./sys
# mount -o bind /dev ./dev
# chroot ./ /bin/bash
17) Install grub
# grub-install
Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to suit your needs
Mine looks like this:
timeout 5
default 0
color light-blue/black light-cyan/blue
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /kernel26.img
title Arch Linux Fallback
root (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda6 ro
initrd /kernel26-fallback.img
title Windows 7 Recovery
rootnoverify (hd0,0)
makeactive
chainloader +1
As you see, you can restore Windows 7 Starter from Grub.
18) Change root password
# passwd
19) Add a regular user account
# useradd -G video,audio,users -m username
# passwd username
20) You're done!
# exit
# cd ..
# umount ./arch/proc
# umount ./arch/dev
# umount ./arch/sys
# umount ./arch/boot
# umount ./arch/
# reboot
Remove the usb stick from your netbook.
If all went ok, you will be inside your new stable and updated ArchLinux system

Using acpid to achieve the following:
- Change screen brightness when operating in battery mode
- Power off when the power button is pressed
- Suspend when the lid is down
- Reduce CPU frequency speed to maximize battery usage
Remember that system suspend is only supported by ati free driver xf86-video-ati
1) Install acpid daemon and cpufrequtils
# pacman -S apcid cpufrequtils
2) edit acpid handler script
# nano -w /etc/acpi/handler.sh
Change the following section:
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
AC)
case "$4" in
00000000)
echo -n $minspeed >$setspeed
#/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode start
00000001)
echo -n $maxspeed >$setspeed
#/etc/laptop-mode/laptop-mode stop
esac
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
for:
ac_adapter)
case "$2" in
ACAD)
case "$4" in
00000000)
echo 3 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 800Mhz
cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 800Mhz
00000001)
echo 9 > /sys/devices/virtual/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
cpufreq-set -c 0 -f 1000Mhz
cpufreq-set -c 1 -f 1000Mhz
esac
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
Make sure you changed AC) for ACAD)
Now change this other section:
button/power)
#echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
case "$2" in
PWRF) logger "PowerButton pressed: $2" ;;
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
with:
button/power)
#echo "PowerButton pressed!">/dev/tty5
case "$2" in
PWRF) poweroff ;;
*) logger "ACPI action undefined: $2" ;;
esac
Change:
button/lid)
#echo "LID switched!">/dev/tty5
logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
for:
button/lid)
pm-suspend && /etc/rc.d/network restart
logger "ACPI group/action undefined: $1 / $2"
Network restart is used because wlan0 will disconnect from AP after some time. You can try using iwconfig wlan0 essid <ap> key <key> instead of the network script, but haven't tested it myself.
3) Start acpid and load modules
# modprobe powernow-k8
# /etc/rc.d/acpid start
Add "acpid" to DAEMONS in /etc/rc.conf to start on boot
Add "powernow-k8" to the modules sections on /etc/rc.conf to load at boot
Stopping system freezes due to ethernet driver
The only way people have found to avoid freezes is by blacklisting atheros kernel drivers.
To do it at boot just edit /etc/rc.conf and change the MODULES line as this:
MODULES=(!ath9k !atl1c)
Reboot and you're done, but remember to not press the Wifi key, because it can freeze your system.
Correctly starting wireless at boot
I've found that standard scripts wont load properly my wireless lan. It gave an error telling you to use the WIRELESS_TIMEOUT variable and such.
To solve this, edit /etc/rc.d/network script and change the wi_up function by adding a second iwconfig command like this:
wi_up()
eval iwcfg="\$wlan_${1}"
[[ ! $iwcfg ]] && return 0
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
[[ $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT ]] || WIRELESS_TIMEOUT=2
sleep $WIRELESS_TIMEOUT
/usr/sbin/iwconfig $iwcfg
bssid=$(iwgetid $1 -ra)
It will do the trick and will start at boot correctly. This is not a solution but a fix.
Adjust Touchpad to disable false taps
What I did here is defining an area to be ignored. This area are 3 rectangles on top, left and right of the touchpad.
This means you can write and press space without having the cursor click out of the window and such.
# synclient AreaLeftEdge=150
# synclient AreaRightEdge=1300
# synclient AreaTopEdge=300
Also, add it to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "evdev touchpad catchall"
MatchIsTouchpad "on"
MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
Driver "evdev"
Option "AreaTopEdge" "300"
Option "AreaLeftEdge" "150"
Option "AreaRightEdge" "1300"
EndSection
You can play with those values. They just work for me.

Acer Aspire one will not boot up

When I boot up my Acer Aspire one I get a message that says:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:
1. Insert your Windows installation disc and restart your computer.
2. Choose your language settings, and then click "next"
3. Click "Repair your computer"
If you do not have this disc. contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.
File: \Boot\BCD
Status: 0xc000000e
Info: An error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data.
The only problem is that my net book has no disc drive. What am I to do??

From ABOUT:
Start
System Recovery Options.
There are several ways of starting System Recovery Options. See How To Access the System Recovery Options Menu in the link above for help.
Open Command Prompt from the System Recovery Options menu.
Note: The
Command Prompt available from the System Recovery Options menu is very similar to the one you may be familiar with within Windows. Also, the following procedure should work as described in both Windows 7 and Windows Vista.
At the prompt, type the bootrec
command as shown below and then press Enter:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
The bootrec command will search for Windows installations not included in the Boot Configuration Data and then ask you if you'd like to add one or more to it.
You should see one of the following messages at the
command line.
Option 1
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 0
The operation completed successfully.
Option 2
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] D:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes<Y>/No<N>/All<A>:
If you see:
Option 1: Move on to Step 5. This result most likely means that Windows installation data in the BCD store exists but bootrec couldn't find any
additional installations of Windows on your computer to add to the BCD. That's fine, you'll just need to take a few extra steps to rebuild the BCD.
Option 2: Enter Y or Yes to the
Add installation to boot list? question, after which you should see a
The operation completed successfully message, followed by a blinking cursor at the prompt. Finish up with Step 10 toward the bottom of the page.
Since the BCD store exists and lists a Windows installation, you'll first have to "remove" it manually and then try to rebuild it again.
At the prompt, execute the bcdedit command as shown and then press Enter:
bcdedit /export c:\bcdbackup
The bcdedit command is used here to export the BCD store as a file: bcdbackup. There's no need to specify a
file extension.
The command should return the following on screen:
The operation completed successfully.
meaning the BCD export worked as expected.
At this point, you need to adjust several
file attributes for the BCD store so you can manipulate it.
At the prompt, execute the attrib command exactly like this:
attrib c:\boot\bcd -h -r -s
What you just did with the attrib command was remove the
hidden, read-only, and
system attributes from the file
bcd. Those attributes restricted the actions you could take on the file. Now that they're gone, you can manipulate the file more freely - specifically, rename it.
To rename the BCD store, execute the ren command as shown:
ren c:\boot\bcd bcd.old
Now that the BCD store is renamed, you should now be able to successfully rebuild it, as you tried to do in Step 3.
Note: You could delete the BCD file entirely since you're about to create a new one. However, renaming the existing BCD accomplishes the same thing since it's now unavailable to Windows, plus provides you yet another layer of backup, in
addition to the export you did in Step 5, if you decide to undo your actions.
Try rebuilding the BCD again by executing the following, followed by Enter:
bootrec /rebuildbcd
which should produce this in the Command Prompt window:
Scanning all disks for Windows installations.
Please wait, since this may take a while...
Successfully scanned Windows installations.
Total identified Windows installations: 1
[1] D:\Windows
Add installation to boot list? Yes<Y>/No<N>/All<A>:
meaning that the BCD store rebuild is progressing as expected.
At the Add installation to boot list? question, type Enter Y or
Yes, followed by the Enter key.
You should see this on screen:
The operation completed successfully.
meaning that the BCD rebuild is complete.
Restart your computer.
Assuming that an issue with the BCD store was the only problem, Windows should start as expected.
If not, continue to troubleshoot whatever specific issue you're seeing that's preventing Windows from booting normally.
Important: Depending on how you started System Recovery Options, you may need to remove a disc or
flash drive before restarting.

[SOLVED] Questions on Acer Aspire One netbook resolution

I've been digging through the wiki and googling everything, but I just can't figure out how to get the dang resolution right!
I've got an Acer Aspire One (D257, model ZE6) and technically, it should be 1024 x 600. Everything seems like it's the right size, but it's just slightly blurry and looking at it makes me a bit dizzy, like it's just slightly off. I've read that the Acer netbooks are SIZED to 1024x600 but use the RESOLUTION of 1024x768. Could anyone confirm this? Am I way off base?
The wiki suggests using xrandr to change the resolution, but I get the BADMATCH error. The solutions I googled mostly involve editing an xorg.conf, which doesn't exist. Trying to generate it myself always fails (xorg -configure, which always leads to "number of created screens does not match number of detected devices").
Maybe I've just missed something really obvious... But I can't seem to find it.

OH MY GOD. I followed the wiki to a T, but when I double-checked, I didn't have i915 listed in the MODULES="" line. So I must have not saved it, in my hurry to get everything going. My desktop looked okay-ish, but my web browser was resizing text improperly, hence the 'dizzy' effect.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for catching my silly oversight!

This is also true, though... My next task is to find better anti-aliasing that I can get along with. The default just isn't cutting it, now that I can see it clearly.

KDE 4.4.0 crashes when logging in on Acer Aspire One

Hello,
I just made an ArchLinux fresh installation on my Acer Aspire One, A1-ZG5. This is my problem: when I log in to KDE, the splash screen comes and then screen freezes. There is one gray window in the top of the screen that just flashes, no windows nor plasma can be seen. I have installed other KDE distros in the same netbook and worked well. I had had the same problem once, when I installed KDE 4.3.1, and never could fix it... KDE seems to be working like in the background; config files are still being created with the frozen screen...any ideas?...Thanks for your help!...:rolleyes:

is your disk full?
if not, try to switch off the services, remone network-manager plasmoids, and try again

Acer Aspire One will only connect via Fon now on H...

Since activating Fon on my BT Home Hub my Acer Aspire One - running Linux Linpus - will no longer log on to the 'normal' wireless connection on my hub, only Fon, which has limited bandwidth, etc.
Anybody know why? Have a solution?
I've 'proved' it's the Fon activation my doing a full reset on the hub. My One connected normally until Fon was reactivated, then back to Fon connection only

Re WPA - it was fine until Fon was activated!
When I did a factory reset on the hub the One connected as normal - until Fon reactivated at which point it was back to via Fon only!
As the MAC address for FON and your normal SSID would be the same, perhaps it is seeing your normal SSID and assuming that is FON, and connecting to that in preference to your normal one.
Really strange problem.......

PXE with Acer Aspire One D150 ?

Hello
We are about to start testing Acer Aspire One D150 and I cant get it to
work with PXE boot, it wont find the NIC drivers. The NIC is "Atheros
something" and I dont even know where to start. Tha machine does not have a
CD so I cant boot with the boot-cd either...
I tried putting in the new imaging files from zdm7sp1ir3a_hp3 (feb -09) but
same result, coudnt find NIC.
Please advice.

How bloody hard can it be for the Novell-people to post an image which works
for Aspire one D150 ? I dont have the knowledge to compile this stuff
myself, I hate when this happens as soon as we are testing new hardware...
So... there isnt a working image today ? :(

Roxio won't open in Desktop Manager Ver 4.5 on Acer Aspire one

When I try to open Roxio, in Desk Top Manager V 4.5, it gives a message that my screen resolution should be set to 1024 x 768 but my Acer aspire One is only capable of 1024 x 600. It works fine on another notebook and my desktop. I'd really like to get my music and jpg files from my 8830 to this new laptop also. Does anyone know of a work around for this problem? Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You can do it with windows explorer, connect the device to the pc and open windows explorer, and you can manage all the pictures and songs, becuase the device is detected like a external hard drive
If I help you with any inquire, thank you for click kudos in my post.
If your issue has been solved, please mark the post was solved.

Probably because it's in xorg.conf... Correct me if I'm wrong..
Anyways... For me it works without changing anything.
If you want to try with my xorg.conf...:
