Linux on Acer TravelMate 3000


My story about putting Ubuntu Linux on an
Acer TravelMate 3000 model 3002WTMi.

Latest update: Installed a printer: Espson R300

Short story:

  • Burn the ISO on a CD
  • Install Ubunto from the CD
  • Add MEPIS boot partition /dev/hda6 in the grub configuration file /boot/grub/menu.lst
  • Disable auto start of eth1 (WLAN) in /etc/networking/interfaces

    To be able to use my laptop at work I did also have to tweak the Ubuntu installation to accept NIS login and a NFS mounted home catalog. Read more about how I did this here

  • Long story:

    Status 2006-08-29:

    I am now using Ubuntu 6.06 released in June 2006 instead of MEPIS and it supports my Travelmate beutifully and installed like a charm since it has firewire support in the kernel so the MEPIS tricks are not needed. I simply downloaded and burnt the ISO and it booted right away and just imagine my smile when those african rythms arised out from the builtin speakers. I installed Ubuntu on the Windows backup partition /dev/hda2 so I could move all work from the Mepis partition to the Ubuntu. The first thing I did under Ubuntu was to set up Grub so I could boot Mepis too, cause I like it too. I did this by just edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst under Ubuntu on my /dev/hda2 partition. (please refer to my MEPIS page about partitioning details) and added an entry like this:
    
    title MEPIS at hda6, kernel 2.6.10
    kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10 root=/dev/hda6 nomce psmouse.proto=imps quiet splash=verbose vga=normal acpi=off apm=power_off noacpi lin1280
    initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd.splash
    savedefault
    boot
    

    Problems found/solved

  • The ethernet driver seems a bit flaky but it usually regains connection with a simple /etc/init.d/networking restart. I thought that this could be caused by me having both a LAN and a WLAN configured so I disabled the WLAN by commenting out the 'auto' directive for the eth1 device in /etc/networking/interfaces.
  • The Rythmbox (v.0.9.3.1) media player does not work with my 20Gb iPod classic over firewire while gtkpod does. The iPod is detected by both application though and according to the docs Rythmbox should be capable to play music directly from it, but it fails. The directory is downloaded correctly however.

    Got a sudden system failure inhibbiting me to to anything with my Travelmate until I presented it with a double ctl-alt-delete. It had worked for hour and I simply installed sshd to remotelly access it which seems to work fine for some hours. However this can be totally unrelated. While in failute the only sign of activity was the LCD display going nuts in black and different reolutions or something. Nothing but black though. I've seen similar behaviors with crashing screensavers but never this severe. The log contains error messages from the Intel 915 graphics driver. In the log I see:

    Updated to the latest Ubuntu Dapper Drake Linux kernel version 2.6.15-27.

    Summary: They have messed with the wireless support and general networking and stole some other 224k. Apparantly a security upgrade

    Just out of curiosity I made a dmesg diff against the the previous kernel and made some thoughts on those below. The full dmesg log is found here and the diff is reordered for readability:

    
    dmesg | sed -e "s/\[.*\]//g" | sort > dmesg-2.6.15-27.txt
    diff dmesg-2.6.15-26.txt dmesg-2.6.15-27.txt

    1976k + 14568k + 606k + 288k is 17438k which could be the difference between 499380k and 514496k ...
    (using bc)....nope anyways the reserved memory area has decreased with 14568 - 14344 
    ehhhm 224k between the two kernels, more memory that is... I think

    The CPU seems to have become slightly faster, probably becuase of the temperature...

    This is not good if we want to use WLAN. I have read somewhere about the Kill switch...maybe 
    it is just informative?!

    Hmmm did I loose the WEP support or just have it anyways...
    They seem to have changed a lot of stuff with the Wireless support...

    Just a note on installing my printer. I tried to add a printer using the menus System/Administration/Printing but it failed time after time. I checked out a number of things and finally I ran the gnome-cupsys-add manually and the same thing happend only that I saw that the application asked for a password on the terminal. Aha, so I entered my password to the application. Same thing happend. So I tried to run the application with sudo. Sucess!! My Epson Photo R300 printer is now fully functional from Firefox at least. I don't know why I had todo it this way but I assume there is a bug preventing the usual password dialog in the printer manager.
