It doesn't work on the D150 with the latest version of the BIOS. That it
does work on the D250 is neither here nor there.

"It doesn't work on the D150 with the latest version of the BIOS. That
it does work on the D250 is neither here nor there."

I respectfully disagree:

(1) Perhaps the latest BIOS on the D150 still has problems;

(2) If a BIOS fix works on a related machine, the D250, that tends to
indicate that the issue is not a Linux issue (short of positive proof
but rather strong, I believe), and finally;

(3) If you *do* happen to have a D250, this information is of
significance to you, and I wanted to put it on the web so that someone
else wouldn't have to spend as much time on the issue as I did.

2009-07-04 Thread chipschap
This is not an Ubuntu problem, at least not on the Acer Aspire One D250.
I upgraded to the latest BIOS (on the Acer site; for the D250 it's
version 1.06 that I installed) and the lid events now work properly.

There are two problems with this still, one minor, one major but one-
time only:

1. When you power off, you have to wait until the system halts before
closing the lid or it reboots!  Not sure I understand why, but it's easy
enough, you just need 15 seconds of patience.

2. Acer in their wisdom made the BIOS updating program a Windows
executable.  This gave me real trouble (WINE won't run it properly,  and
I didn't have the ambition to disassemble).  I installed BartPE on a USB
thumb drive and booted from the stick, and then it worked.

Of course if you flash your BIOS you do it at your own risk.  I was
successful but if you make a brick out of your machine that is your
responsibility alone.

The 1.09A BIOS update from the Acer website fixes the problem for my D150.
I have a 2GB ram upgrade, and I had no trouble installing the update.

Unfortunately Acer only has an executable that runs under windoze, so
you have to boot some windows stuff like BartPE before you can use it.

I just upgraded to the 1.09 BIOS also.  I've got 2 gigs of ram and dual
boot XP so just used the updater exe from Acer without any problems.

It fixed the acpi suspend issues as well as the sound not working after
suspending problem, though that may have been fixed with the most recent
ubuntu updates, I'm not really sure.

Now the only thing not working on my D150 is the front mic.

suspends when the lid is closed. I don't see an abundance of ACPI
messages in the log. I still have to push the power button to wake up

The same upgrade appears to have fixed my fan problems. Previously the

[Bug 364592] Re: [acer aspire one D150] ACPI lid events are broken

2009-07-10 Thread chipschap
"It doesn't work on the D150 with the latest version of the BIOS. That
it does work on the D250 is neither here nor there."

I respectfully disagree:

(1) Perhaps the latest BIOS on the D150 still has problems;

(2) If a BIOS fix works on a related machine, the D250, that tends to
indicate that the issue is not a Linux issue (short of positive proof
but rather strong, I believe), and finally;

(3) If you *do* happen to have a D250, this information is of
significance to you, and I wanted to put it on the web so that someone
else wouldn't have to spend as much time on the issue as I did.

The 1.09A BIOS update from the Acer website fixes the problem for my D150.
I have a 2GB ram upgrade, and I had no trouble installing the update.

Unfortunately Acer only has an executable that runs under windoze, so
you have to boot some windows stuff like BartPE before you can use it.

I just upgraded to the 1.09 BIOS also.  I've got 2 gigs of ram and dual
boot XP so just used the updater exe from Acer without any problems.

It fixed the acpi suspend issues as well as the sound not working after
suspending problem, though that may have been fixed with the most recent
ubuntu updates, I'm not really sure.

Now the only thing not working on my D150 is the front mic.

This is not an Ubuntu problem, at least not on the Acer Aspire One D250.
I upgraded to the latest BIOS (on the Acer site; for the D250 it's
version 1.06 that I installed) and the lid events now work properly.

There are two problems with this still, one minor, one major but one-
time only:

1. When you power off, you have to wait until the system halts before
closing the lid or it reboots!  Not sure I understand why, but it's easy
enough, you just need 15 seconds of patience.

2. Acer in their wisdom made the BIOS updating program a Windows
executable.  This gave me real trouble (WINE won't run it properly,  and
I didn't have the ambition to disassemble).  I installed BartPE on a USB
thumb drive and booted from the stick, and then it worked.

Of course if you flash your BIOS you do it at your own risk.  I was
successful but if you make a brick out of your machine that is your
responsibility alone.

I just upgraded by D150's BIOS to version 1.09 and now the Aspire One
suspends when the lid is closed. I don't see an abundance of ACPI
messages in the log. I still have to push the power button to wake up
the computer when I open the lid but I can live with that.

The same upgrade appears to have fixed my fan problems. Previously the
fan ran continuously. Now I can hear is stop and start like a normal

Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

2. Acer in their wisdom made the BIOS updating program a Windows
executable.  This gave me real trouble (WINE won't run it properly,  and
I didn't have the ambition to disassemble).  I installed BartPE on a USB
thumb drive and booted from the stick, and then it worked.

Of course if you flash your BIOS you do it at your own risk.  I was
successful but if you make a brick out of your machine that is your
responsibility alone.

2009-08-04 Thread Kenneth
The 1.09A BIOS update from the Acer website fixes the problem for my D150.
I have a 2GB ram upgrade, and I had no trouble installing the update.

Unfortunately Acer only has an executable that runs under windoze, so
you have to boot some windows stuff like BartPE before you can use it.

2009-08-04 Thread zachwood
I just upgraded to the 1.09 BIOS also.  I've got 2 gigs of ram and dual
boot XP so just used the updater exe from Acer without any problems.

It fixed the acpi suspend issues as well as the sound not working after
suspending problem, though that may have been fixed with the most recent
ubuntu updates, I'm not really sure.

Now the only thing not working on my D150 is the front mic.

This seems to be an Acer problem:

On that page there is also a workaround.

It's the same problem on a different laptop. Unfortunately the DSDT
posted there is for a completely different model, so it's probably not a
good idea to apply it to this particular netbook.

[Bug 364592] Re: [acer aspire one D150] ACPI lid events are broken

2009-07-28 Thread James
I just upgraded by D150's BIOS to version 1.09 and now the Aspire One
suspends when the lid is closed. I don't see an abundance of ACPI
messages in the log. I still have to push the power button to wake up
the computer when I open the lid but I can live with that.

The same upgrade appears to have fixed my fan problems. Previously the
fan ran continuously. Now I can hear is stop and start like a normal
laptop.

Let me know if there is anything I can help with.

James I could use your help with a question!

I want to update my bios for my D150 to 1.09 with the update from the
Acer website. Do I run the .exe directly in Windows? Or do I have to do
this another way? Will my 2gig of ram upgrade cause trouble?

I believe there is a procedure for loading the file on a USB flash
drive, and booting with the function key pressed. The BIOS should read
directly, if what I read is accurate.

Yes.  That's why I posted that, at least on the Aspire One D250, a
BIOS update published by Acer solved the problem.  Hopefully they will
issue similar BIOS updates for other models.
