Ubuntu 9.04 on Asus EeePc 901
I installed Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix Release Candicate and updated to the real release.
I'll have to say it runs smooth, and boots very fast (considered that it is a "whole" fully equiped ubuntu system).
But... sadly I discovered that I could not connect to any Wireless WPA-Enterprise networks.
Wireless WPA - Enterprise cannot connect. (Fix)
I found that to be caused by the driver included in the new ubuntu, and there should already be bug reports about it. But I found a solution, or I found a solution some other guy had made.
To make is work you need to downgrade the driver to an ealier one:
- Get the driver from http://www.array.org/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/eeepc/binary-i386/rt2860-dkms_1.7.1.1_all.deb
- Go to terminal, and move the pre-installed driver so it won't get loaded. (And so you keep it in case you need it.)
- cd /lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/staging/rt2860/
sudo mv rt2860sta.ko rt2860sta.bak - Install rt2860-dkms_1.7.1.1_all.deb (dpkg -i rt2860-dkms_1.7.1.1_all.deb)
- During the install It will complain about the wrong ubuntu version. Don't worry it worked for me anyway.
- If it does not install make sure you have the following installed: "build-essential", "linux-header-generic" and "dkms"
Asus eeeasy
I also installed Asus-eeeasy which fixed the things that did'nt work out of box....

Netbook Remix
When I had used the Netbook Remix edition a little while... I got tired of it... sooo... just wanned to make som advertisement for removing remix and using a good old fashion Ubuntu system :)
Hehe... actually I wanted to get rid of Maximize... since all my windows got maximized which annoyed me...
So I did a sudo apt-get remove maximum... and it took my ubuntu-netbook-remix with it.... how sad.. NAAAA... :)
