If not tried already, search/post on the forums with the details of the hardware, you might be able to find something. ups -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Hi Uphaar, can you tell me how you installed the Wifi Drivers? I tried and failed miserably.. It does not detect the device for me.. -- Jay Impossible Is Nothing http://www.amonks.in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Hi Jayanth, The restricted Atheros driver was enabled by default (on Gutsy). Check the Restricted Drivers Manager and see if it is enabled. But like I said, I've not tested/used it - so unsure if it is any good. Cheers, ups -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

[ubuntu-in] Ubuntu experience on Acer Aspire 4520/4710
Has anyone used the Acer Aspire 4520/4710 with Ubuntu Fiesty/Gusty? If so please let me know and share your experience as I plan to go for it and don't want to get stuck with issues of drivers etc. I did search the archive and it came up with one thread (Jun 2007) discussing it. Anupam Jain had been positive about his experience with his Acer notebook, but others had a different story. Any experience with this particular model?? At a price (of 31K for 4520, 35K for 4710) it seems to be the best value for money. The basic config is [ for 4520 - Athlon 64 X2 (1.7GHz)][for 4710 - Pentium dual Core T2020], Nvidia nForce 610M chipset, Nvidia GeForce 7000M, Monitor 14.1-inch WideScreen, 10/100/1000 Network Card, 56k Modem, 802.11 b/g Wireless LAN, Bluetooth 2.0+. Though google came up with some good reviews, I could not find much on Linux experience on it (it comes with some Basic Linux - Linpus Linux or something). The site at : http://priceguru.in/archives/features/895 mentions: In other things, we tried to run select live distros (no need of installation) of Linux including the popular Ubuntu 7.04. Unfortunately, Ubuntu too didn't have the needed drivers built-in for graphics, WiFi, LAN, etc. Without managing internet connectivity through LAN/WiFi, finding a solution for Ubuntu was very remote. Would be grateful for advise/feedback. TIA - Subash -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

Hi Subash, I use an Acer 4520.. Its realy hard to setup the WLAN on the laptop.. Was using Feisty.. Bluetooth, Sound, Graphics Drivers all were slick... Just the WLAN was impossible! I've completed downloading Gusty.. Should be installing Gusty tonight.. Will let you know my experience with that! :) The performance of the laptop is AMAZING.. -- Jay Impossible Is Nothing http://www.amonks.in -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

FYI, there's a slashdork article today about Ubuntu harming laptop HDs, see http://hardware.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/30/1742258 Also there's a wiki page with some discussion and workaround https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanielHahler/Bug59695 -- Thou shalt not follow the null pointer for at it's end madness and chaos lie. -- ubuntu-in mailing list ubuntu-in@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in

TIA - Subash Hi Subash, I'm running Gutsy on Acer Aspire 4520, and it works well: Video - GUI install works, then you can get full resolution with restricted driver (present in Gutsy). May need little re-configuration. Audio - Works, Needs slight configuration. Webcam, Mic - Work. However, I do not have any way to test Wifi/Bluetooth at the moment, so can not comment on that. The are detected properly with drivers though. There are some quirks I faced, but no show-stoppers for the things I've tested.
