@nicolas, thanks for the reply. May I know which version of the kernel you are using?

@kjloh: I don't know, if it works for me it should work for you.

I managed to compile acerhk on Lucid, thanks to this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acerhk/+bug/456123/comments/16 In a nutshell, do the following: - open /usr/src/YOUR-KERNEL/Makefile - search for "pg" and comment out the line in which it is - run those commands to compile and install acerhk: cp /usr/src/acerhk.tar.bz2 /tmp cd /tmp tar -xf acerhk.tar.bz2 cd /tmp/modules/acerhk make sudo make install - finally, reverse the previous change in /usr/src/YOUR-KERNEL/Makefile (uncomment the line with "pg") And it works ! -- acerhk wont compile on lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same bug here with an acer aspire 9500. For me it means that I can't use my keyboard shortcuts anymore (play/pause, next/previous track, mail, internet...) When I launch "sudo modprobe acer-wmi", it fails with: "FATAL: Error inserting acer_wmi (/lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/kernel/drivers/platform/x86/acer- wmi.ko): No such device" (however I'm not sure that acer-wmi manage keyboard shortcuts...)

[Bug 555828] Re: acerhk wont compile on lucid
I too was frustrated by this, having struggled for months to get my laptop wifi running on Ubuntu before discovering acerhk, only to be facing the same problem again! However, I discovered that Acerhk appears to be no longer maintained. Instead, use acer-wmi. I have tried out the following and it works in Lucid rc and Karmic - probably in earlier versions too as acer-wmi has been round for a while. If you have acerhk, remove it with: sudo modprobe -r acerhk then install acer-wmi: sudo modprobe acer-wmi You should now be able to connect to your hub via Network Manager. On my FSC Amilo Li 2735, this works straight 'out of the box' on a fresh install with no ethernet connection, though some laptops possibly require extra drivers. To tidy up, and make wifi run automatically at start-up: sudo nano /etc/modules Delete 'acerhk' if present, and add 'acer-wmi' (without apostrophes) to the bottom of the text. Press Ctrl + O, then press Enter, then Ctrl + X to save and close. I also used Synaptics to remove acerhk and acerhkgui -- acerhk wont compile on lucid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555828 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
