Download'''bold text''' Not starting - for Android - as supplied with Acer Aspire One D255

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

  • 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 ? :(

  • Airport Express won't work with Acer Aspire One

    I've recently set-up a wifi network for my parents. They have a cable modem from which an ethernet cable runs to their Vonage modem. From there, another ethernet runs to the Airport Express (set to Bridge Mode). Wifi uses WPA2 Personal encryption.
    My MacBook Pro as well as my dad's Dell laptop (Vista) can connect just fine and browse the web, no problemo.
    However, my Mom's Acer Aspire One netbook (Win XP) keeps on saying "Acquiring network address" and kind of just hangs there. I've tried resetting the Airport Express to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing this? I'm open to any suggestion guys, thanks!

    I'll take a quick pass, but no guarantees as I'm not a PC guy.
    XP, depending on the version installed on the Acer may not fully support WPA2 Encryption. Or, if it does, you may need to change some settings on the PC to use TKIP, not AES associated with WPA2.
    It might be a bit easier to switch the security to WPA/WPA2 Personal on the AirPort Express and give that a try.
    AirPort Utility > Manual Setup > Wireless Tab > Wireless Security.
    The same TKIP/AES thing may still apply on the ACER though, so you'll need to investigate if things are still sticky on the ACER.
    Finally, my PC friends tell me that 90% of all connection problems on a PC can be traced to the Firewall settings and/or anti-virus settings. You may have to go into the applications to specifically allow the connection to the Express.

  • 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

  • 8330 Curve - Tethered Modem with Acer Aspire One Netbook ?

    Anyone have any experience, or knowledge, about using the 8330 Curve's ability as a tethered modem with Acer's Aspire One 8.9" netbook that uses the XP Home Windows operating system with Intel's Atom processor and a 160 GB hard drive and an external DVD/CD reader drive?
    My Alltel 8330's Curve works great with my regular Compaq laptop, but it's aging and I'm considering this little well-reviewed Acer Netbook.

    Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

  • 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.

  • 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.
    cheers

    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.

  • [SOLVED] Acer Aspire One D250 LAN not detected.

    Hi guys,
    Cant seem to find anyone on the net that has the same problem as me, but here it goes.
    I have a Acer Aspire One D250, Id really like to run linux on it. There are dozens of posts on the web explaining you need to install the drivers from the Atheros site because the output of lspci is wrong.
    Well, the problem that i am having with Arch is that lspci doesnt even show my network card, and as soon as i boot, the light on the physical card turns on, but never goes off (almost like it hangs...)
    Ive included the output of Arch's lspci where its not visible, and the output of the ubuntu live netbook remix where it is visible just as the wrong name.
    Its almost like arch wants to load the wrong driver and then the card just freezes.... but i dont know, im not a fiull blown linux expert...
    Hope someone can help me because its driving me crazy.
    This is the output from the arch lspci:

    again, no internet information available, although someone posted about editing the source file, but getting send and transmit errors once the driver was loaded into the kernel.
    thanks for the help.
    P.S. compiling this thing under ubuntu was no problem, and it worked instantly.

  • Acer aspire one webcam not working

    Dear all,
    I'm having trouble getting the built-in camera in my Acer Aspire One (AOA110 - Ab) to work. It should be an Acer Crystal Eye camera, or a "Microdia Sonix USB" (from here)
    In either case, according the Archlinux wiki (link) the uvcvideo module should make it work, and I have added it to my rc.conf.
    Whenever I try to open the camera using whichever program, however, I get a message of the camera not being found. Wxcam, for instance, gives the following error:
    /dev/video0: No such file or directory
    lsusb also doesn't list the camera:
    Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
    Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
    And these are all the video/webcam related entries I could find in dmesg:
    [ 0.242888] pci 0000:00:02.0: Boot video device
    [ 0.264486] input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/LNXVIDEO:00/input/input4

    [ 7.136704] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
    [ 7.136712] USB Video Class driver (v1.0.0)
    I remember the webcam working somewhere in the past, but I can't remember when. I'm using the kernel-netbook kernel, but booting with the normal kernel doesn't seem to make any difference.
    I haven't tried it with other distributions yet.
    Any ideas on what could be the matter? Or any steps I could still take?

    Hm, well, glad you've got it working, but my problem, unfortunately, remains.

    Can't see anything that could be the webcam, really...
    Edit: I just booted with the standard kernel to make sure, and the webcam is still not recognised.
    The outputs for grepping dmesg with "usb" or "video" are even less filled:
    $ dmesg | grep "video"
    [ 0.343737] pci 0000:00:02.0: Boot video device
    [ 3.864420] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
    [ 3.955698] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
    $ dmesg | grep "usb"

    [ 3.936080] usbcore: registered new interface driver hub
    [ 3.936822] usbcore: registered new device driver usb
    [ 3.955698] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
    When I checked /var/dmesg.log, however, there were some more informative entries (maybe, they don't help me much):
    [ 0.343737] pci 0000:00:02.0: Boot video device
    [ 3.864420] Linux video capture interface: v2.00
    [ 3.955698] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo

    [ 5.393859] ACPI: Video Device [OVGA] (multi-head: yes rom: yes post: no)
    These entries are also present in /var/dmesg.log when booting with kernel-netbook, so there does not appear to be any different behaviour. The only difference I can see is that kernel-netbook does detect my multi-card reader.
