First, my apologies for posting outside the key topics of politics or dentistry.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 Netbook Edition with the Unity interface on an Asus Eee 1001P. [0] The system has some quirks, such as starting with the keyboard NumLocked (which led me to think that i couldn't log in at all until I realized it) and not supporting an external monitor well. It also sometime grinds effectively to a halt. I hear it continuously accessing the hard drive, but can't do anything. This sometimes happens when I revive it by pressing a key after it's been idle for several hours, but also see it in some other less well-defined circumstances. (One thing I found was that opening the Files and Folders screen, so I don't use that anymore, sticking with Gnome Commander.) When this happens, all I can do is forcibly power down then power it back up. I seem to remember there being scripts, and possibly even software packages, that straightened this stuff out, but I'm not seeing them anymore. BTW, I hated the Unity interface when I first experienced it, but have grown to like it. With the help of Gnome Do, a bunch of Firefox plugins, Dropbox, and a few other tools, this is a surprisingly useful little PC. So... does anyone have any pointers on getting 10.10 to work better on this Eee? [0] http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=5AH8HAdGuhiQIXgg -- Joseph Zitt ::http://www.josephzitt.com
