Drivers Acer Aspire One Zg5 Ubuntu Mate
Aug 29, 2013 - Re: What Linux to use on an acer aspire one ZG5. « Reply #9 on: August 29, 2013, 10:11:19 am ». I use Mint with the MATE desktop. Haven't tried Cinnamon. Mint is basically Ubuntu with better driver support and fewer bugs. Never tell me the odds. Jan 2, 2015 - Acer AspireOne ZG5 (AAO 150); 10.04 LTS. Module options for the Acer AspireOne # # Enable USB card reader options pciehp pciehp_force=1 install sdhci for i in 2381 2382 2383 2384; do /usr/bin/setpci -d 197b:$i AE=47. Add this to your /etc/rc.local to enable Acer Aspire One Fan driver fan control.Missing.
I was planning to buy Acer Aspire One D270 within a few days and as everybody installs linux on their netbook I was also planning to do that. Now, my question is how is Acer's hardware compatibility with linux and specifically in respect to the new Acer Aspire One D270. Has anybody tried installing linux on these new netbooks. It will be a great help if a D270 user can share his/her experience with linux usage. I read on some forums that there is some linux driver issue with Intel GMA 3600 and that people are not able to adjust their brightness.
So, as I am a linux noob is this a major issue or not. Specs: RAM: 2Gb DDR3 Processor: Intel N2600(Cedar Trail) Graphics: Intel GMA 3600 HardDisk: 320Gb 5400 rpm. While attempting to install drivers I got the following errors cedarview-graphics-drivers: Depends: xserver-xorg-core (= 2:1.10.99.901) steve@steve-AOD270:$ sudo apt-get install cedarview-drm libva-cedarview-vaapi-driver cedarview-graphics-drivers sudo password for steve: Reading package lists.

Th – user140875 Mar 16 '13 at 22:58. Oddly enough, Ubuntu 12.04 installed fine on my Acer Aspire One D270 and runs at 1024.600 - though it reports an 'unknown' monitor. I installed Google Chrome, and it runs in-window Apple iTunes trailers at 480p very crisp, no stutter or other degradation. I say 'oddly enough' because when I tried to do a similar install on an Asus x101ch, which also has the Atom N2600 chipset, it will ONLY run at 800.600 no matter what I do.
I did try an install of Fedora 17, just released, which is SUPPOSED to support the N2600/GMA3600, but while it installed (on the Asus) at 1024.600, I couldn't install Google Chrome at all - kept calling for software that wasn't installed, but a search through the add software program couldn't find it. (I found Fedora 17 much less user friendly, desktop, than Ubuntu, and believe it or not, I actually LIKE Unity on Ubuntu better than the other desktops I have tried (Linux Mint, LXDE, XFCE).) I wish I could find out what voodo allowed Ubuntu 12.04 to install at 1024.600 on the D270, since I may pick up an N2800 Lenovo S110 while I am overseas and would love to run Ubuntu on it, but not if I'm stuck at 800.600 like on the Asus. BTW I DON'T think there is software support for any of the advanced features of the GMA 3600, it seems to be running at a simple generic VESA level without any hardware acceleration, but with the dual cores of the N2600 it is ok for simple in-browser video, at least. If anybody wants me to hook up an external DVD player to see if it can play DVD's, or see if it can play h.264 rips of DVD's via Handbrake, let me know. Install Intel binary Xorg driver for GMA3600 (Cedarview) GPUs! Still not full performance but works with 2d acceleration and I could play 720p videos with out problem. Adjust brightness with Fn Keys Work!
(I'm not english speaker-writer, but give me a chance) I'm using ubuntu precise (12.04 LTS) in my AOD270. Everything is right for me except the video (VGA, HDMI) output. Fair to say that I do not use quite much graphics and that's almost the only issue that I've noticed (on about 3 weeks of using it with Precise Pangolin) and obviously must take more than the output (the only thing that I care about video). Anyway, if I connect the external monitor before turning on the netbook it works as it only has the external monitor (showing a distorted mirror image in the netbook screen).
So it has the issue of the GMA 3600 (output, brightness, 3D, etcetera.), but I've used the rest of the hardware (WLAN, USB, audio, touchpad, etc.) and it works fine. It would be better if while installing you have a LAN conection, in case that you need some privative drivers from the intenet before using WLAN. Right now I'm downloading MeeGo, for installing aside Ubuntu Precise and W7; because I read that. I've seen other user's commentaries about changing successfully to MeeGo. I think to do it partially, just for using the video outputs, and until ubuntu or another similar linux distro have better perfoncance with the Atom N2600 and the GMA 3600. The other general and I think minor issue is that maybe Ubuntu 12.04 run quite slowly in AOD270 (no more than W7 anyway) because of Unity.
But is something of taste I think, and you can always try Xubutnu and Lubuntu. If you hasn't buy the netbook yet, maybe an Asus or Lenovo is more friendly hardware for Linux. Finally I insist: Ubuntu 12.04 works fine in my AOD270, except the known video issues. Hope this to be usefull. I installed Linux Mint 13 (based on Ubuntu 12.04) on my D270, and the monitor booted at maximum(or very high brightness), and the fan is continuously running at a high speed. No resolution problems though.
The monitor problem I could easily fix by entering in the terminal: sudo setpci -s '00:02.0' F4.B=35 I ended up adding this line to /etc/rc.local to make it automatic instead of having to change the brightness in the terminal for every session. Change the number at the end(in my case 35) to a lower value to decrease brightness and vice versa.
Now I have to figure out how to stop the fan running at full speed, because it is loud, and unnecessary when the machine is idle. This will no doubt wear out the fan bearings too. Will update when I can find an answer. I am a new to linux. I removed the Linpus linux that came along with ACER AOD270 Atom N2600, Intel GMA3600. It runs on Cedar Trail platform ( I am not a techee) and intel has incorporated the drivers with their own linux distro Meego 1.2. I've tried Ubuntu 12.04 and after installing couldn't adjust the brightness.
But after updating it showed to install additional drivers and installed the Cedarview drivers. Those crashed after some time, without much problems and now I am very happy with Linuxmint13. Searched the synaptic for cedar and installed 4 softwares for cedartrial and cedarview and I played a movie 1920x800 nicely. For adjusting brighness, the Fn+ arrow keys worked well. Additional brighness reduction was achieved with RedshiftGUI. This week and last week I've put Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on two D270 Aspire Ones (1Gb RAM) for friends.
This has been updated to current Kernel, etc. Installation was quick and painless from USB stick. Resolution is 1024x600, no problem here, however brightness is fixed level (not a problem) and card reader does not work (needs a driver). The only other quirk I've found is that on wireless connection the icon in top panel does not show an active connection state but reverts to the red! Symbol (proprietary driver downloaded). There is also no 3D, although on a cheap netbook again this isn't really an issue. Overall it runs well, as does my old faithful ZG5, and is a big improvement on the Win 7 starter that came installed (I've left this on as a dual boot 'security blanket' for Linux newbies).
Nice little machine, super keyboard and loads of battery capacity. I also have mint 13 (kde) running on my d270. You should not try to update the kernel.
The cedarview driver patch packages only work for 3.2.whatever it is. The kernel and headers should have been held. It doesn't really work as well as it should but linux is robust enough that it works. I'd be using kubuntu except ubuntu based mint uses an older release, so synaptic was able to do all the configuration for me. As of now I'm waiting for the official 13.04 kubuntu release.
I tried the alpha 2 but I don't have the recovery skills to deal with pre release linux. Before the 2nd or 3rd update it worked very well. I expected an update to bork the system. It wasl alpha. I've installed Ubuntu in Acer Aspire D270, and here are a few things that I experienced.
1) Only Ubuntu 12.04 runs well. (I could not install Ubuntu 12.10 well. And I could install Ubuntu 11.04 or 10.10, however I could not use Wireless Internet. 13.04 beta might be working better than others.) 2) Updating everything is a bad idea in my case. (I once updated everything, and I found somehow Ubuntu failed to load my SDHC card reader, which worked well before updating.) 3) Intel GMA 3600 graphic chip is not supported properly. (I could not use any 3D graphics and Open-GL well. There was one recommended driver, but when I installed it, it made my graphic even clunkier.
I just gave up to use.) 4) There was a screen brightness problem, and I could fix it. (It was too dark, and I could not control with my keyboard. I should have used 'sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=40' command in terminal. I just put this command in a script.) 5) There is a sleep/suspend/hibernation problem, and I could fix it. (It slept well, but when it turned on again, it showed crashed screen. I should have used 'pm-suspend -quirk-dpms-on' command to suspend the system. I wrote a line of code to a file in /etc/pm/config.d for a little automation.
I found these indication on webpage: Strangely enough they also fix the sleep/resume problem. Open as root the following file: /etc/default/grub $ sudo gedit /etc/default/grub sudo password: Insert the text: acpibacklight=vendor, so that the line becomes: GRUBCMDLINELINUXDEFAULT=”quiet splash acpibacklight=vendor“ save and close your editor. Then update grub, by running in terminal: $ sudo update-grub It will tell you something like: Generating grub.cfg Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-24-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-24-generic Found linux image: /boot/vmlinuz-3.2.0-23-generic Found initrd image: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-23-generic Found memtest86+ image: /boot/memtest86+.bin done After that just reboot the machine. $ sudo reboot Caveats: At times the screen would go entirely dark. Or would not apparently resume from a blank screen or when the screensaver gets active.
For such cases, all you need to do is press “Fn + Brightness UP button” and screen will GLOW. To suspend, just press Fn + F4 (Z') button. It works on my Acer AOD270.
Installed O.S. On Samsung NC10.
Display worked O.K. In text mode so the install went smoothly. When the system is rebooted, however, switching to graphics mode results in the below described screen corruption:- Left Hand Side 80% of screen black with a blue of white pixels and some blue lines at the top Right Hand Side 20% of screen OK.

Did this issue start happening after an update/upgrade? Was there a prior kernel version where you were not having this particular problem?
Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Please test the latest v4.14 kernel0.
If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel- fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel- bug-exists- upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as 'Confirmed'. Thanks in advance.

I can confirm the bug too. After the Xubuntu update from 17.04 to 17.10, the intel mobile graphics is broken. Moreover, the issue seems to be a little bigger.
The bug here is the same one as, so Mods please merge the two bugs. It seems to have nothing to do with the Ubuntu distro, as is is present in Ubuntu Mate, Ubuntu, Lubuntu und Xubuntu, all Versions 17.10 - so this indicates that it is Kernel 4.13 related.
And it seems to affect other distros as well. The bug also affects OpenSuse, with Kernel 4.13: So there seems to be something wrong with Kernel 4.13 with the Intel Graphics 945. In the openSUSE Bug Report, users state that Kernels 4.11 and 4.12 are still working.
I will test that right now and report back. Thank you Community for all the efforts. @kaihengfeng; I have tried both kernels you proposed, and can confirm what has been stated in the opensuse-Forum: Both Kernels 4.11 and 4.12 SEEM to be working and show no graphic glitches. So the first idea would be that something happend within the Kernel transition from 4.12 to 4.13, but not too easy. Trying to open differnet Applications with 4.12 shows that there is already something fishy going on with the graphics, e.g.
LibreOffice will not start with Kernel 4.12 and I believe it must have to do with the graphics. This is in accordance with the errors / logs / exceptions posted in the opensuse bug-report. So for Computers / Laptops / Netbooks using the Intel Mobile 945 Chipsets and Ubuntu 17.10, I would personally recommend the 4.11 Kernel, for I found it to be most stable and all applications I have tested so far do work. I can help with logs and dmesg if needed, please just tell me what logs you need.
For everyone who has this error, I will show you a workaround so you can still use your computer even after the update to 17.10. The workaround consists of installing kernel 4.11 and using it. Enter Grub (which is the startup manager) by holding down the shift key while booting. If you have Grub showing up on every boot (e.g. If you have a multi OS and also have Win 7/8/10) installed, even better.
Now select Ubuntu. Enhanced options and then select starting up with the 4.10 Kernel (which still should be installed if you have updated from 17.04). If the option to start up with the 4.10 kernel is not available, select recovery mode (which should also work fine, but you have to work with a low resolution then) In the 4.10 Ubuntu (recovery mode) open your browser and go to this directory: under 'Build for i386 succeeded' download these 3 files: linux-headers- 4.11.0- 041100 4.11.0- 041100.
34 all.deb linux-headers- 4.11.0- 041100- generic 4.11.0- 041100. 34 i386.deb linux-image- 4.11.0- 041100- generic 4.11.0- 041100. 34 i386.deb After the download, put those 3 Files in a new, seperate folder, and open the directory with the terminal (right click on the folder - open in Terminal).
In the Terminal post: sudo dpkg -i.deb Press enter and wait. The 4.11 Kernel will be installed, it takes a while. After that, you can reboot your computer and in Grub in the enhanced options you can now start your computer with the 4.11 generic kernel, which works fine for me. If you want Ubuntu to start up everytime with the 4.11 Kernel, you can use the 'Grub Customzier' for that. Here is how you install the grub customizer: Let's hope that someone in this Linux world can make the Intel Mobile Graphics card work again in a de-bugged 4.13 kernel =) Cheers and Kudos everyone!

Did some testing. Here are the results for kernels 4.11, 4.12, 4.13, 4.14:- 4.11 - display OK, Ethernet (Internet) OK 4.12 - display OK, Ethernet (Internet) OK 4.13 - display problem (80% of the left hand side of screen black with smudges) occurs, Ethernet (Internet) OK 4.14 -.Very. occasionally the display works.
Usually the display problem (80% of the left hand side of screen black with smudges) occurs Note: also saw on 4.14 that Internet(Ethernet does not work). The other kernels (4.11,4.12,4.13) can see ethernet and internet OK. HTH, Ian - - ACCU - Professionalism in programming - - My writing - - Free Software page.

Due to poor note-taking, I can't add more than that. If it is important though, I can re-run the tests and carefully note if the networking is OK or not. I have two laptops with Atom n270, both are affected. My post at AskUbuntu: A copy from my post: 'The mouse is visible on the black part, and i can drag windows from there. Print screen produces a normal pic with all the desktop as it should look like. I have this problem with 2 atom n270 laptops, With the first one I could 'fix' it temproary by connecting an external screen, then switching to CLI (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and back to the gui (Ctrl+Alt+F7).
It might be a temporary fix for the second laptop too, just didn't check it. It happens only in 17.10 versions (Ubuntu, Ubuntu mate, Lubuntu). Previous versions of Ubuntu are fine. Also Windows and Manjaro are fine. Pic of second laptop having this: Possible tags: screen, screen black, monitor, laptop, monitor and laptop, monitor display, 17.10, atom, atom n270, n270, intel atom, I had problems with LIbreofiice too, but only with 'Writer', which refuses to open. Calc is working fine.
Hi, Sorry for the slow reply. I have been somewhat distracted by a physical illness As others have done, I set a GRUB variable with the line:- GRUBGFXPAYLOAD LINUX= text I also commented out the line that set the GRUB variable GRUBHIDDEN TIMEOUT= 0 With those changes in place, 1. Graphics problems disappear.
It is easier to choose a particular kernel at boot time However, in last week's testing I noticed a few problems with other kernels. I'll summarise my notes because I tested about 11 kernels. The 4.14.-041400rc5 -generic kernel doesn't have network access - both ethernet and Wi-Fi don't work.
There was a temporary regression in 4.13.0- 0413rc1- generic and4.13. 0-0413rc2- generic where the trackpad doesn't work.

As I have never edited a GRUB before.I'm not even sure what the GRUB is If I press e is this giving me the GRUB? I had that problem as well:) I'll do my best to explain things. If I over-explain things, I apologise, if I under-explain things, ask me to clarify things. The Linux kernel is the very core of Linux, it handles the hardware on behalf of the programs we want to run. GRUB is the 'Grand Unified Bootloader' GRUB is a rather accomplished system to handle booting things - typically a Linux kernel or memtest86+.
It can do many things and even has a built-in scripting language for flexibility. The manual can be found here:- With lubuntu, GRUB is used to load a Linux kernel. If you want to see the GRUB menu when booting your computer, switch it on and press both SHIFT keys down and you should see a menu. With at least these two options:.
Ubuntu. Advanced Options for Ubuntu If you highlight the 'Ubuntu' option and press 'e' you will see a GRUB script specific to that kernel. Most of that stuff can be ignored.
The line beginning with the word linux is the interesting one - see for full details. Basically, you can edit that line to send information to the kernel or tell it to do something differently. For instance, I've been doing that recently to stop the arguments quiet and splash being passed to the kernel If you want to run a different kernel to the default on your system, select 'Advanced Options for Ubuntu', you will get a list of available kernels you can run them as-is or you can highlight your preferred kernel and press 'e' if you want to change the parameters passed to the kernel. Where do I insert the Line GRUBGFXPAYLOAD LINUX= text?
Do I then Ctrlx and go to terminal to do the sudo bit? Or should I be editing a file from the terminal?

Made apport=0 a default parameter. Booted kernel 4.14.0-041400rc5- generic. Still no networking. Did a cat /proc/cmdline to make sure the parameter was being passed to the kernel.

0-rc3-7 i386.deb This kernel hangs after displaying these two lines:- Loading Linux 4.12-rc3. Loading initial ramdisk. The (recovery mode) of the above kernel hangs as well It displays these lines OK Loading Linux 4.12-rc3.
Loading initial ramdisk. And then the kernel hangs, as before. HTH, Ian - - ACCU - Professionalism in programming - - My writing - - Free Software page.
This bug affects my EEE PC 1000H with 1024x600 screen after a fresh installation of lubuntu- 17.10-desktop- i386. Tried several workarounds (nomodeset, i915.modeset=0, GRUBGFXMODE= 1024x600), with partial success.
However, the suggested workaround 'GRUBGFXPAYLOA DLINUX= text' is the best solution I've found. With this setting, my GRUBCMDLINE LINUXDEFAULT= 'quiet splash' is all that is required. Early days, but it seems to boot without screen corruption, and X starts with the native screen resolution. Many thanks for everyone's comments on this issue, Russ. Toshiba Portege R500 (Graphics Processor Intel GMA 950, Intel Core 2 Duo CPU U7700 @ 1.33 GHz) Downloaded the official lubuntu- 17.10-desktop- amd64.iso on January 4th 2018, installed it from USB flashdrive without issues.
Reboot = strange flash of screen during boot, X not showing up properly: black screen, graphical mouse cursor visible and moving, but no action possible. Possible to switch to text console with CTRL-ALT-F1 normally.
Updating the system did not help (having kernel 4.13.0-21). /var/log/syslog contained the errors shown in the included files. In the file /etc/default/grub I've commented out the line #GRUBTERMINAL= console changing it to: GRUBTERMINAL= console then issued: sudo update-grub then reboot, and things are nice, X comes as expected, I can login to graphical screen and everything works, and those errors in the included files are not present anymore. Thank you for the hints!
Good luck fixing the bug. Hi Tom, On 23 January 2018 at 19:02, tom wrote: With my Ubuntu version 16.04 LTS i didn't have the problem, until recently! I suspect with an update from kernel 4.10.x to 4.13.x So I manually removed the kernel image and headers from version 4.13.xthereby in fact downgrading again to the older kernel, fixing my problem.
So this confirms the statement above that kernel 4.13 is a problematic one. Ubuntu keeps more than one kernel on the hard drive. It defaults to using the most current one. You can choose which Linux kernel to boot from by using the GRUB menu on booting. To do that, switch your computer on, and, as soon as you see the manufacturer's logo (i.e. The BIOS screen), press and hold down the right-hand SHIFT key.
You should then see a menu with a title at the top that reads like 'GNU GRUB version' (etc). This is where you can do quite a few things. Use the down arrow key to select 'Advanced Options for Ubuntu'. This takes you to a screen where you choose a kernel to boot or choose to boot a particular kernel in'recovery mode'. The command 'uname -a' gives info on the current running kernel. The command 'lsbrelease -a' gives distro-specific info.
