[Cooker] Cooker on Acer Aspire One

[J.A. Magallón]

Hi all...

I have just got one of these

http://www.acer.com/aspireone/
(sold here in Zaragoza, Spain for 299 euros :) )

and of course I have installed cooker ;).

Everything went fine (did a FTP install with an USB key), but there are some
problems after that.

Listing:

- drak3d tries to install the old compiz-fusion. I followed the
  instructions from other posts about .desktop files and gconf keys and
  got it working, but this looks too much work for a newbie...

- I can't get rid of an ekiga icon on my desktop. Everytime I delete it
  it appears on next login...(annoying, but not important)

- I can't get rid of the graphical init progress (I got rid of the graphics
  in grub). Even I uninstalled 'splasy', I get errors about reset connections.
  If I change the vga mode for the kernel for something really VGA, not fb,
  it dissapears.

- And the most important, I can't get WiFi to work from NetApplet. The ath5k
  driver is loaded, and it looks like the device is disabled. The light on the
  case does not come up, the case switch is ignored with a message about an unknown
  keycode, and NetApplet can't detect any network.
  I will try to guess something about that with wireless tools, but if someone
  has any idea.

Thats all... I will post some info/benchmarks when I had everything working.

What do you mean by "old" compiz-fusion exactly?

DYNAMIC_WEBCAM=no in /etc/sysconfig/dynamic

Maybe we should consider killing this feature? I don't think anyone
really likes it.

Do you have more precise clues about this?
Very few users ask the remove this icon, and we don't know how many
users love it.

Well it does come up in the forums from time to time. But yeah, it's
just my own intuition, not based on really hard data.

I do think having a desktop icon you can't properly delete is a bad
idea, though. Would it be possible to improve the implementation so the
feature is disabled if the user deletes the icon from the desktop
manually? As that's clearly what the user's asking for, in that case.

One possible solution to remove this hack would be for
gnome-volume-manager / KDE to start application registering webcam to
automatically start when a webcam is plugged after login, so "something"
would be discoverable for users.

On the other hands, on laptops which enables webcam with a function key
(ie EEE PC), it would try to start the apps each time webcam is
enabled :(

Honestly this is just reinforcing my belief that we (Linux in general)
are missing some kind of good hotpluggable hardware / desktop 'widget'
along the lines of PolicyKit etc :\ there's lots of cases where you want
to be able to have some kind of useful, sane, configurable behaviour
when a bit of hardware is plugged in, and there doesn't seem to be a
good way to achieve it at present.

gnome-volume-properties is not so bad. It's just pity that you have to
enter a path instead of just selecting an application (as in the latest
nautilus configuration window). Don't know if there is anything
equivalent for KDE though :-(

It's not powerful enough, really. It can't, for instance, hook into
package management so you can do something like "if user plugs in a
Windows Mobile device, offer to install task-wm5sync-kde" or whatever.

that's why something like PackageKit could be interesting :
- The application tell PackageKit to install package X by using DBUS
- PackageKit use the distro backend to install the package

Of course there should have a convention/standard about the package
naming, or better about the provide. This way we could use whatever
name we want, and the application will just use the provide name

gnome-volume-manager having received an event from HAL ?

Shouldn't HAL instead send a dbus event notifying that the device is available
?

In the KDE case, shouldn't solid handle this (in future)?

BTW, I think in the past I had been irritated by a scanner icon appearing on
my desktop for my fingerprint reader  (but on KDE4 I'm not getting it at
present).

It does.

Probably.

I was only talking from the GNOME PoV.

Well, things have got much better with cooker upgrades, but some problems
remain/appear (some of them not specific to One):

- WiFi works fine
- Ether has gone nuts, but thats a known problem with r8169 driver.
- Can't get card readers to work. They dont appear on lspci.
  . I have read things about using setpci
    (http://gentoo-wiki.com/Acer_Aspire_One_A110L#SDCard_Reader)
    but I get:
        setpci: Warning: No devices selected for `AE=47'.
  . People also say that you must leave the SD card inserted on boot
    to get recognised, but udev hangs completely if I leave the card
    inserted on any slot.
- Still cant use Xv, but thats general to intel chipsets
- No sound. Pulse does not see any alsa card. Only NULL audio sink.

Seguiremos informando...

I was working on it when the network issue appeared

Hmm sound is working fine here with latest kernel (or with options
snd_hda_intel model=acer on previous kernels) except for the internal
mic

Some more info, the card reader shows if using intel-conf1 method to
access PCI space, but this hides the realtek ether.
This can break meny tools that base on lspci to detect hardware...

Forgot to say that this is after you have inserted a SD card once.
You can then remove it and the device stays there.

Just for completeness of the thread, with mandriva kernel-linus rc5:
- Both ether and wifi work
- One boots with the SD card inserted (not because of new udev, this also
  hangs with current mdv kernel)

But it only detects one thread in the Atom, and I have strange sounds all
around...

Burried on a  aspireoneuser forum.

Passing the parameter 'pciehp_force=1' to the pciehp module will make the card
reader work correctly every time, regardless of whether a card is inserted at
boot.

May help ?

I tried it time ago, and from my memories what it did was to show the
SD reader permanently in lspci (good :)), but... hide the realtek
ethernet (bad!!).

So I did not like that approach.
