There are issues. I did a clean install to 9.04 beta, and that works much better. Still no 3D though. Working on suspend resume, it passes their torture test fine (SD card ends up mounted read only though), however resuming via the power switch leaves the card unmounted.<br /><br />So I know what I am writing about next, getting suspend/resume I expect.<br /><br />And a tip for today, enable CPU scaling.<br /><br />open a command prompt,<br />cd /boot/grub/<br />back up the original (use what ever date or versioning you want)<br />sudo cp -p boot.lst boot.lst.20090312<br />edit the first line begining with "kernel" to add the following to the end:<br />acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"<br />I am not going to go into enough depth to walk someone through this who doesn't know how to edit a file as root.<br />My line looks like this:<br />kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-11-generic root=UUID=fd46592a-6dd0-4ecf-9d5b-3b71954df40f ro quiet splash acpi_osi="!Windows 2006"<br /><br />Then reboot, right click on the bar at the top of the screen, pick "add to panel", add "CPU frequency scaling monitor", and then configure it.<br /><br />Now your CPU speed (and thus power consumption) will vary based on how much you are making your CPU do.<br /><br />Anyhow, more later.Ronald Pottolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12052424704490061291noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638096810755555421.post-14937874901870631622009-03-06T13:22:00.000-08:002009-03-06T13:26:33.886-08:00Anyone who wanna manage the blog?!Since i lost interest in my Hp 2133 and sold it this blog got to keep on going..right?<div>If there's anyone out there that's interested in manage this blog please email me at marcus.wiberg@live.com with information about your knowledge in Ubuntu and what you've got working so far on your Hp 2133 with Ubuntu.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks guys!</div><div><br /></div><div>Marcus Wiberg</div>Marcus Wiberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17941802711868447617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638096810755555421.post-83222723384762145192009-01-10T22:16:00.001-08:002009-01-22T11:01:34.230-08:00Yes, it's working!!<span style="font-size:85%;">I was almost ready to throw my Hp 2133 out of the window due all the problems with it and Linux.

When i boot and try to start the live CD i get Kernel Panic, tried booting into different boot options but with no success, i also read on Ubuntu's wiki page and it says that everything should works fine... I have also tried with different BIOS updates like F02,F03,F04,F05 with no result.<br />I was able to install Puppy Linux and Damn Small Linux, but they really look like crap and i rather run Windows seven on it which works terrific. Can someone please confirm their Hp 2133 is working with Ubuntu 8.10?

Before i decided to sell my dell 1501 i installed the lastest ati driver but seriously it's like playing around with windows 98, compiz work pretty good though. Gaming and watching HD movies was a big joke so i really hope the drivers for the via card is better then the drivers from AMD.<br /><br />Via is working hard on their drivers and they recently released beta drivers <a href="http://linux.via.com.tw/support/downloadFiles.action">click here</a> to check it out. I will release an install guide for the drivers, probably next week.<br />If someone already installed them please post a comments and/or suggestions!</span>Marcus Wiberghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17941802711868447617noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3638096810755555421.post-66400722081567394572008-12-10T17:08:00.000-08:002009-02-04T10:33:44.255-08:00Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex 8.10 Install Options<span style="font-size:100%;">Since Hp 2133 does not have a CD/DVD player we got to use a different method to install Ubuntu.<br /><br />The first method is to download Wubi, if you haven't heard of <a href="http://wubi-installer.org/">Wubi</a> i recommend you check it out!<br />Wubi is a installer that will install ubuntu with just a few VERY easy steps in Windows. When you're done with the installation reboot, after reboot it will give you an option to boot in to Windows or Ubuntu choose Ubuntu and it will take some time for the installer to finnish, then you're done with the complete installation, if you want to remove it later just go to add/remove software in Windows and uninstall it.<br /><br />The second method is using a Usb flashdrive. It's also very easy.
