Acer sells Timeline 8371 with pre-installed linux. Its a cut to terminal version which is not really usable, but i would expect that if it says "preinstalled OS: Linux" it would also completely be compatible with linux. I'll contact acer support with this issue too. The quality of the timeline is really impressive and it would be really discouraging if they leave the users down so much with linux support.
Im not an experienced linux user, but if there is someone of the ubuntu team around Hannover/Braunschweig germany i would consider giving him my laptop for some weekends for working on this. Can also confirm HDD seems only to spinoff after restart, also according to the 8371 bug report, there seem to be a couple of "file not found" messagesin the log, which can mean its really a hdd startup issue. -- resume from suspend doesn't work (powers off instead) for Acer Timeline 3810t/3410t https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/405120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
