Also it has a no PCMCIA instead it has ExpressCard

Atheros support is not widespread in these forms when I checked a few months ago.
If it was I would dual boot into Hackintosh ;-)

I believe the bluetooth works but I have not tested it, anyone else?

Sorry for the delay. (Is it possible to get email notifications on this forum)?

amilo 1520 linux

Postby gogi » Mon Oct 09, 2006 10:00 pm

hi, i bought a amilo 1520 a week ago. Works great with suse linux 10.1, except for wireless network. Driver, wpa-psk config all easy. But 1 question left. How can I switch on wireless under linux.
The key on the upper right works only under Windows.

Thanks for any help

I use the button of wireless at top right of the keyboard it works.. and buttons of bluetooth (Fn + esc) and of the wireless (Fn + F2) work.. but i if you haven't the drivers installed the led don't blink... Now, I'm using kubuntu live and works well!

Sorry to intrude in this string, but I saw the problem of controling sound under linux using the Fn keys were mentioned... has anybody got a solution?

My efforts towards solving this problem is quoted in a seperate topic in this group:

you can use xmodmap, use one of these:

http://cweiske.de/howto/xmodmap/allinone.html
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Use_Multimedia_Keys

configure the key with xmodmap and then open the shortcuts menu of the mixer...

Thank you for your help! Here is the content of my ~/.Xmodmap file

!! Fn-key config for vulume up, volume down and mute
!!--------------------------------------------------
keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute
keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume
keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume

and it is started automatically from my .xinitrc file with the command 'xmodmap'. Then I used KHotKeys to bind them to the actual keyboard actions. Now when I use Fn-F7 or Fn-F8 I get a small pop-up window showing that I'm lowering or raising the volume, also the KMix applet changing its status.

Only this has no effect on the volume output from the speaker, which is coming at full blast! :( What I might have done wrong?

Suse 10.1 remastered

Postby soundpete » Sat Oct 28, 2006 10:28 pm

Suse have released I new DVD ISO of 10.1 called SUSE-Linux-10.1-Remastered-DVD-i386.iso.
This does most of the recent updates
I booted as if It was a fresh Installation and choose update or upgrade (cant remember now). This fixed the software updater problem :-)

It appears that the default installation does not install a compiler - you need to add a compiler using software installer in yast otherwise its impossible to install many programs from source.

I have just installed Ubuntu Edgy (2.6.17-10-generic). How can I tell if my fan is working properly, i.e. how can I tell if my fan is running and at what temperatures do it turn on and off? Is there any way to get these information with installing lm-sensors, fancontrol, etc.? I have tried to install lm-sensors following Ubuntu Guide but without success (got no sensor found).

Do I need to install powernowd or cpufreqd to control my CPU?

Thank you.

Just compare it to Windows.
I think the fan is controlled os independently. To be sure: just check that the fan works under Linux at all (if the fan works all the time you'd notice that ;-)).

Ubuntu does this automatically.

How can I check if my fan is running, is there any command for that? I can hear something is running but I'm not sure if it is the fan or hard drive.

Also, I would like to find out the temperatures that the fan is turned on/off. How can I do that, is there any command?
