I meant it stopped working right after the upgrade, and now it won’t “reinstall”

So it doens’t work in Karmic?

That sucks…

I had it working for a bit when I did an upgrade, but then after it wasn’t working quite right I did a re-install… and now it wont install. Same error as Lapog.

Will there be a version for Karmic as the Jaunty version does not install on my EeePC1000HE I get the following message.
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: hotkey-setup

Thanks for a great utility it worked well on Jaunty and I miss it.

Thanks for this tool, it looks like it’s working great on my new 1005H! I installed it with Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook edition.

Thanks a lot for that peace of software! REAL GREAT on my EeePC 1000H.

Allthough it took me a few hours to find out how to disable the asus_eee kernel module.

(For all people like me: You have to edit the file “modules” in /etc as root. Comment the line “asus_eee” with a # and save.)

From that on, the new tray applet (and all the modules behind) works like a charm!

is this available for other distros than Ubuntu? and for other DEs than GNOME?

KDE on Debian is what i am using on my EeePC, and i am sure there are others out there with variations as well…

Thank you!! This utility is so much better than eeepc-acpi-utils that I was using before.
