[SOLVED] Card reader in Acer Aspire 5670

I have an Acer Aspire 5670 Laptop in which the card reader was working under ubuntu (as far as i can remember), but i cannot get it to work under arch.
iAs the wiki pages does not have any article related to this model, and trying with symilar model wikis is not getting me anywhere, i need your help, at least to tell me where to start from.
Thanks!!

  • [SOLVED] Internal Microphone on Acer Aspire 1410

    My microphone works on Windows but not on any Linux. Its been like this for a while now and I'm tired of using Windows so I'm determined to get my microphone working on ArchLinux. Everything else is perfect... Anyway lets start.
    My sound works absolutely fine, my microphone is NOT muted, I have gone through all the steps on the wiki for fixing sound/internal microphones. Yet my microphone is not working. I've tried it on a root account so its not a permission issue either. Here are some outputs, please tell me if anything else is needed to determine the problem. Though I have experience with Linux I wouldn't consider myself an expert, and I know even less about the workings of sound cards.

    well I'm not really sure of anything when it comes to this stuff, and this is why I'm here.
    But it wasn't working before I started blacklisting things, just followed the wiki and blacklisted stuff that were said to work.
    Recently I found a thing on the wiki for Acer One laptops (not mine but similar). It was to compile the alsa-driver with --with-card=hda_intel --with-card-options=hda_codec_realtek
    this seams like it should work for me because even on windows my microphone doesn't work (but my sound does) until I install the realtek driver.
    But now I have a different problem, aur's alsa-driver, though I can compile it with these options, when it gets to my system it seems orphaned and useless. I don't think my system is using it. Do you know what the reason for this might be? If the compiled "alsa-driver" package will work then how do I get that package to work on my system?
    I will take all the blacklists out and reinstall all the sound functionality (starting with the new "alsa-driver". If you can think of anything please tell me.
    oh and fyi I believe this laptop has mono-audio, could that be a reason I have only two channels?

  • [SOLVED]pm-utils problems, acer aspire one 721

    Hi,
    I got a new laptop for christmas, slowly I've been getting it up and running.  Tonight I decided to try to get suspend and hibernation working.  I followed the archwiki guide, I removed the autodetect hook and added resume hook in mkinitcpio.conf.  I've tried using a different backend uswsusp.  So far the problems have remained the same.
    In pm-suspend, the netbook will turn off and the power leds will flash, when I press a button the system comes back, so the hd spins up a couple leds flash ... But the screen remains blank, I've tried typing some commands to reboot but nothing really works only a hard reset gets it going again.
    In pm-hibernate.  My screen goes dark except for a "_" in the top left corner the power leds turn orange and keep flashing but the computer never goes off. 
    In /var/log/pm-suspend.log I can't find any errors.  Any ideas how to get this working?
    Does pm-utils have problems with laptop-mode or cpufreq? Got those running yesterday.

    It's a ati radeon mobility 4225.   
    I'm currently using catalyst-daemon from aur.  Pretty much the catalyst driver with a daemon which checks on boot if the kernel was updated.
    Pm-utils has no problem with laptop-mode or cpufreq-utils.
    Also, did you try this: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ac … wer_button ?
    Haven't tried that yet, I didn't use it because according to the lspci my system is much different from the one in the wiki is based on intel.  I have an AMD based system.  Currently I have removed laptop-mode, I also read that pm-utils and laptop-mode-tools do have hooks for some of the same things, so I decided to first get suspend and hibernate working then continue customizing. I don't use the lid to go into sleep mode at the moment I'm running the commands from a root terminal.
    Here's my lspci.  I could try installing the other kernel.

  • Acer aspire 5670: Performance issues

    I have now kdemod installed, but this has been happening on kde and gnome, so i think it is because of the damn ati video card.
    The point is that the system gets completely frozen for some minutes, and then all goes back to normal during some seconds again......
    Could it be some issues with the video driver? WHat can i try? Of course, composition is deactivated.
    If you reboot the system it seems to be ok for the first minutes, then you can see how the memory usage and the processor usage increases constantly, even when you are doing nothing.....
    Any suggestions would be apreciated.
    Thanks!!!

    What video driver do you use, open or proprietary? Do you run with or without xorg.conf? If you use xorg.conf, it could help to post it. Do you use KMS (kernel mode setting). Personally, I had problems with an ATI card and KMS, so I disabled it and my problems went away. See wiki article on how to disable it:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI … _.28KMS.29
    On the other hand, some people report performance improvements using KMS, so you may want to set it up according to the wiki article and see if it helps.
    Did you look into, e.g. htop, during times of high CPU usage?

  • [fixed] Touchpad suddenly not working on Acer Aspire 5670

    I am using gnome 2.28 and i never had any problem with my touchpad: I actually cannot recall having updated before this issue came out..... just, suddenly, the touchpad is not working... no movement, no clicking... nothing at all.....
    I am using an external useb mouse........ i am also using hotplugging (no xorg.conf).... any idea? Not having mouse is quite frustrating

    that's odd..
    does the touchpad works on login screen?
    (mine did it there, but no in the desktop)
    is it enabled in Bios option?
    did you try erasing and re-installing xf86-input-synaptics?
    pacman -Rsn xf86-input-synaptics, and then pacman -S xf86-input-synaptics
    just giving you ideas.. 'cause i don't know what can be the cause
    ps: did you read this wiki? http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics

  • Screen turns bluish on shutdown Asus ee pc running through an Aspire 5670 monitor

    I know this is a bit of an odd one but I hope that maybe someone can help me!
    I'm running photoshop on my Asus eee pc but I have it running on an Acer Aspire 5670 monitor (bigger screen makes it easier for my retouching work!) and whenever I shutdown photoshop my screen gets a little bit bluer.
    I can fix it by doing a recalibration but it's still kinda annoying because I don't always remember to do it and I'm sure you can understand that trying to get skin tones right when your screen is blue can be an utter nightmare.
    Please let me know what other information you might need to help.
    Thankyou!

    John - when you say that I may have been talking to call centre drongos, you're probably right. I'll go back and make sure I get a recording next time. I wouldn't mind but apparently I was speaking to the head of the department. I didn't take any names so I guess that was my fault.
    I've re-read my email and as much as it seemed like I'd taken out all the emotion at the time, coming back and looking again I can see that it's still very obvious I'm fairly upset about all this.
    Sorry, It's just that so far I've spent 6 hours on the phone, which is about 24 photos retouched (a decent bit of money when I can do it properly). Now it looks like I'm going to have to be on hold for another few hours tomorrow. I'm frustrated and I'm lashing out where I shouldn't. Sorry again. I've turned in a couple of pieces that looked fine on my (bluish) monitor but looked horrible when I was being shown why I'm getting less work now.
    My main client pays for me to get a recalibration every 6 months but I'm finding I need one every few weeks. If I wasn't friends with someone that recalibrates monitors for a living I'd have to pay $100 a pop. I'm getting one every couple of weeks at the moment and I'm at the point of tearing my hair out here.
    I'm saying this more so that you can understand where I'm coming from here rather than as some sort of justification of my earlier post. I know that I shouldn't be rude to people that are trying to help me and again, I'm sorry.
    In terms of "another potential source of error" though, I should point out that I only came here as a last resort - I don't get this problem when I run any other applications on either laptop. I have spent a lot of time on the phone to both asus and acer over the last few months. I was a bit quick to point the finger but I've spent a lot of time ruling out other options.
    I recognise that by saying it's your code's problem I'm almost saying that your baby is ugly and I really shouldn't have gone so far earlier. Honestly though, if you could at least give me some ammunition when I call the other various hardware support places I would be eternally grateful.
    Wolf - As mentioned, I have a friend that can recalibrate my monitor for free. It's getting to the point where I'm being really demanding and he just keeps giving out of the goodness of his heart. I appreciate that that's what you guys are doing also and I hope people haven't been put off my the harshness of my earlier message. I'm just really really frustrated by all of this.

    Graysky's reaction was going to be mine too.  As that was already here, I took a step back and rethought it for a while - you might want to do the same with your initial post.  Certainly no one here has a need to defend archlinux or hold any pride in it -  but when your initial post in a thread can be interpreted as "your distro of choice is known to suck, but maybe you can make it work anyways" then you shouldn't expect a warm reception.
    Taking my step back, I see there is a fair chance I am misinterpretting that comment; but I doubt I'd be the only one to take it this way.
    If you want help mounting an SD card, lets stick with that.  I have absolutely no issues mounting and SD or micro SD cards in arch.  So we should figure out why your system is not working the way it should rather than assume it should not be expected to work.
    On a cursory glance of the info posted, I see that the partition table is not recognized.  Is the SD card formatted?  If so, how?  Can in be read on other distros/OSs?
    Ofcourse Arch linux isn't a sucky distro, it's the superior one !
    I will have to defend myself a little by stating that english is ofcourse not my main language and my intent was not at all to talk down Arch as a distro, I've chosen it and ran with it for god knows how long now.. maybe a year or two ? It is now my main distribution.. getting down and dirty with things like this however can be really challenging.
    But my utmost apologies, I never meant to scold Arch as a distro, out of all the distros Arch is probably the one standing ground right now.

  • My acer aspire x1935 does not recognize my pcie express hdmi capture card

    my acer aspire x1935 dose not recognize my pci express hdmi hd capture card.  it works fine on a win XP sp3 machinewith a gigabite motherboard and a amd processor.  I updated the bios and it still dosent recognize it as a multimedia card in the device driver.  I have Windows 7 homeedition 64 bit with a intell I3 processor.   

    Regarding my x1935, I have tried a safe mode boot, I also tried reinstalling acers window 7 backup downloaded and reinstalled acers motherboard drivers and flashed the bios to the latest version and still the HDMI hd dvr capture card is not detected by windowws 7. Can some one help...
    I have been working on this problem for the last two weeks and its very frustrating.

  • [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.

  • [Solved] Suspend to ram doesn't work correctly on Acer Aspire 5100

    Hi people of the archlinux forum.
    Finally I decided to change from ubuntu to archlinux because I wanted to learn more about the world of linux.:D
    I have already almost completely set up my laptop, but I have a problem when suspending to ram. The problem comes out when i wake up the laptop, and the screen starts to flicker and will not go away until i restart the laptop.
    This is my laptop after the suspend:
    I'm using pm-utils to suspend and hibernate my laptop, and the hibernate works fine. All settings were made following the arch wiki.

    I have the same problem with my Acer Aspire 5100 (video ATI Xpress1100).
    xorg.conf is not used. Turning KMS off doesn`t help.
    I have tried to use uswsusp, but it doesn`t help. s2ram -n output correctly identify my laptop, which means it is in "whitelist" and correct settings for this hardware is known. s2ram suspend works, but screen blinking after waking up remains the same.
    [Sydorenko@SLE ~]$ sudo s2ram -n
    Machine matched entry 17:
    sys_vendor = 'Acer *'
    sys_product = 'Aspire 5100 *'
    sys_version = ''
    bios_version = ''
    Fixes: 0x3 S3_BIOS S3_MODE
    This machine can be identified by:
    sys_vendor = "Acer "
    sys_product = "Aspire 5100 "
    sys_version = "V3.10A"
    bios_version = "V3.10A"

  • SOLVED: 1030NR - SD Card Reader launches Found New Hardware Wizard when media is inserted

    I purchased the HP Mini 1000 1030NR a few days ago and have been very happy with it so far.  Last night I attempted to use the integrated SD card reader to view some photos from my digital cameras SD card.  When I inserted the card into the drive, Windows did its normal hardware initializations.  It should have detected and installed the SD Card Reader automatically, but instead I was presented with the "Found New Hardware" wizard.  Every attempt to install the driver automatically via the Wizard failed.  Every SD card I tried in the reader produced the same results.
    After spending 2 and a half hours online with HP support, their eventual resolution was to do a full System Restore.  As owners of the HP Mini 1000 will know, this process is made difficult due to the units lack of a DVD-ROM drive.  Furthermore, the problem here is clearly a missing driver.  Doing a System Restore as suggested would be like swatting at a fly with a cinderblock.  It may resolve the problem, but there is a much more straightforward way.
    The problem is that due to the nature of the XP installation on the 1030NR,(scaled down for performance/size reasons), the linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver respository has been broken, at least as far as USB devices are concerned.  I found this out after the same HP support technician suggested I uninstall all of my USB Root Hubs from Device Manager and reboot.  Those never came back either.  Fortunately I had created an XP restore point beforehand and quickly got my USB ports back.  Of course, my SD card reader still didn't work.
    The solution is to restore that linkage between recognized hardware and the internal Windows driver repository so that the operating system can "find" the USB drivers and in turn, install the necessary software components for the SD card reader.  Instructions for doing this are as follows:
    1.  Insert an SD card into the SD card reader.  The "Found New Hardware" Wizard will appear.
    2.  Check the radio button to not allow Windows Update to search for software.  Click Next.
    3.  Check the radio button to "Install from a list or specific Location (Advanced).  Click Next.
    4.  Check the radio button to "Search For the Best Driver In These Locations.  Then click the checkbox "Include this location in the search."
    5.  Click the Browse button and navigate to "C:\Windows\inf"  If you cannot navigate to this folder you may type it in the box manually.  Click Next.
    6.  Follow the remaining on-screen prompts to complete the software driver installation.  You may receive an error code at the end indicating that the device could not start.  Disregard this for now.  Once driver installation has been completed, reboot the computer.
    7.  Once the system is back up, the "Found New Hardware" wizard will probably reappear.  If it doesn't, make sure the SD Card Reader has a card inserted in it.  Cancel the Found New Hardware wizard and click Start - Control Panel - System - Hardware tab - Device Manager and look for entries with either an exclamation point or a question mark.  You'll probably see the SD Card Reader with an exclamation point and an "Unknown Device" with a question mark.
    8.  For the SD card reader, right click on it and select "Update Driver..." from the list of options.  Follow steps 2 through 6 above to complete installation.  At the end, the card reader should be functional (you can see it in Windows Explorer, etc.) but you'll still have an "Unknown Device" in Device Manager.
    9.  To resolve the "Unknown Device", once again go to Device Manager, right click on the Unknown Device entry, click Update Driver and follow steps 2 through 6 above.
    10.  One final reboot and the SD card reader should be functional and no ? or ! warnings/errors should be present in Device Manager.
    The reason for this issue in the first place is most certainly due to the way Windows XP is configured on the HP Mini 1000.  Although this solution works for the 1030NR, it should also work for models in the same family that contain the 2-in-1 SD card reader.  HP really needs to provide an official fix for this issue, preferably a "patch" that re-establishes the linkage between recognized hardware devices and the internal Windows XP driver repository.  Their official support suggestion of doing a complete System Restore to solve the problem is impractical, heavy handed, and may in fact not solve the issue. 
    It took me nearly 5 hours total to resolve this problem.  I hope this post saves somebody both time and trouble.

    C:\Windows is the default folder for the Windows XP installation on the 1030nr.  Unless changed during installation, all PC's (not just mini's) that have XP installed will have this folder present.  As for the inf folder specifically, this is hidden from view in Windows Explorer unless you tick the option to "Show Hidden Files and Folders" from Tools - Folder Options - View tab.
    Still, you shouldn't need to "see" this folder for the above instructions to work.  When running the "Found New Hardware" wizard, you can just type the path in manually at the appropriate spot.  If you truly do not have a C:\Windows\inf folder, then it sounds like something is wrong with your Windows installation and a full System Recovery may be the best option.  It might be a good idea to contact HP support first before donig that though.
    Does your Mini run Windows?  If not, unfortunately the instructions I laid out above will not help you.  I believe the "other" Mini's run some HP customized version of Ubuntu Linux.  For that OS, you'll need to obtain a driver specifically for it to get the card reader working.  Try the HP site for a download for the SD card reader or contact support.

  • [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.
