Hi Jessie Firstly, this bug does not seem to affect anything that I (as an end user, like yourself) could detect. Clearing the message seemed enough to be able to proceed with booting & using the PC.
I have now moved on to 11.10. This bug went away by 11.04. I don't know how 11.10 would go in an eeePC, although it is supposed to be designed as an all-round OS... I use a desktop PC, so I can't comment on your eeePC issues, but it sounds awful for you. One of my daughters has an original eeePC (the small screen one). We haven't tried to change the OS, as it just keeps on going (the speaker has died). My understanding is that the ASUS version of the OS was tailored to the HW - one of the reasons I didn't like to try a different version of Ubuntu. In spite of my lack of IT training, I am a volunteer in a computer recycling depot (in Australia). We rebuild PCs if they are OK, generally 5 year old, with Pentium 4 CPUs, using the Ubuntu OS. We are finding that drivers for the older hardware are not always supported in later versions of Ubuntu (we are working with 10.04). Have you thought about trying one of the lighter versions of Linux? Or and older version, particularly an LTS (long term support) version?
