| + | :!: After a YaST Online Update I got a new kernel installed. Of course the Madwifi modules are not installed automatically. But even manual reinstalling of the Madwifi driver didn't work. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I had to take a new version (the hal version from 20080903) from //snapshots.madwifi.org// and: | ||
| + | |||
| + | - Uninstall the previous Madwifi modules by <code> | ||
| + | <madwifi-install-dir>\scripts# ./madwifi-unload | ||
| + | <madwifi-install-dir>\scripts# ./find-madwifi-modules.sh -r | ||
| + | <madwifi-install-dir>\scripts# cd .. | ||
| + | <madwifi-install-dir>#make uninstall</code> | ||
| + | - If you want to you also can remove the madwifi install directory. This version is no longer necessary. | ||
| + | - Install the new version as described above. | ||

| + | In the meanwhile the headset was also not working whatever mixer settings I've choosen. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So I tried to update the ALSA package. For that include<code> | ||
| + | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/multimedia:/audio/openSUSE_11.0 | ||
| + | </code> as a package repository. Then update all packets - especially the alsa ones. | ||
| + | |||
| + | After a restart (no sure it's needed but I updated tons of other software as well...) I got my headset working in Skype with acceptable recording quality. | ||

| + | ==== UI ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Of course the Window Manager, XSystem etc. are not specific elements for the Aspire One. It is one of the most subjective matter in IT design. However, here comes my solution: | ||
| + | |||
| + | On my other systems I still work with KDE 3.5.9. They are productive devices and I'm not keen enough to change them to a unknown version. They run on openSUSE 10.3 too. | ||
| + | |||
| + | On the other hand the Aspire One is just for PIM, media play, Internet and maybe to process some real files from time to time. | ||
| + | So I decided to use KDE 4.1 and I'm really impressed. | ||
| + | |||
| + | I had tested the 4.0 several times on different machines but I was never so excited to quickly blow away my old but stylish KDE3 systems. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The Aspire One and KDE 4.1 are a great team. The system is fast enough to serve all the discreet eye candy (I hate burning or wobbling windows...) The KDE 4.1 works stable and brings enough options to create a useful and ergonomic desktop. | ||
| + | |||
| + | All my other systems have huge screens. I don't have any program icon on the desktop but in a taskbar instead. I tried this approach on the Aspire One but the screen is way too small. | ||
| + | |||
| + | So I created a desktop geared to the original Linpus Linux. Here comes a screeshot: | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{forum:aao:screenshot-aao.jpg?650|Screenshot Aspire One}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | Of course it's a hassle to switch to plasma every time you want to start a new application. Furthermore because I couldn't setup a shortcut for the Kicker menu inside the panel. But at least I could setup a shortcut for Plasma dashboard. It does nearly the same as "switch to desktop". | ||
| + | |||
| + | Finally I'm quite happy with my solution. But I check carefully whats ongoing in terms of Netbook UIs. There are some interesting projects like [[http://www.canonical.com/netbooks|Ubuntu Netbook Remix]]. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Open issues ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | Still there are some open points with minor priority: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * I haven't tested the card readers so far. Probably I will not use them. | ||
| + | |||
| + | * I didn't complete tests for Hibernate after upgrading to a new kernel. | ||
