Have you tried the REISUB key combo http://lifehacker.com/software/linux-tip/gently-restart-a-frozen-system-298891.php It wont fix the problem but it's safer than pulling the battery out which if you do it too often could cause even more problems. > Does this mean that another distro, > like say Fedora or Ubuntu, would have trouble running because this is > clearly an unusual chip design that the engineers have not encountered > yet Get Ubuntu on a USB stick and try it out, I did a quick search for it but the results were swamped with articles about gOS being based on Ubuntu but if any distro has a chance it's Ubuntu, it appears to have the best mix of hardware support and usability. However you'll still have to do a lot of tweaking to get it to work fully but at least you'll have the full Ubuntu repositories to work with and a much bigger community for support. You could also try Ubuntu-eee http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/ even though its for different hardware it might have some extra drivers you need installed by default, it certainly helped with my AspireOne. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Linux Users Group.
