Doesn’t work on Karmic on the Asus t91
Doesn’t work on abit is 7-error message eee_acpi module not installed!
update to my previous post-”error while communicating with eee-control-daemon! Make sure it is running.” This while attempting to start program from panel.
I’ve a progblem with this package. It shows me “Python-dev didn’t installed”. So i can’t istall this, and i coludn’t solve this error.
I hae a newly ubuntu-netbook-remix karmic koal and i cannot install due to missing ‘hotkeys’ package. I cant’ find this dependdancy anywhere on synaptic. The most similar is hotkey-setup which i figure it’s nearly the same but it’s not enough. Where can I find ‘hotkeys’?
thanks
it installs fine after meeting the dependencies in karmic. this means you also need the hotkeys and python-dev etc… installed
not sure if it does any good, cause i did not have time to measure the performance difference but it seems to work well on my eeepc 1005HA

I get this error while installing:
Cannot create File or Directory »data/etc«: No such file or directory.
it is run on 9.10 and a Asus EeePC 1005.
Any help?
I’m having the same problem: “error creating directory ‘data/etc’: No such file or directory”
Asus 1005HA running Karmic Remix
FYI - Dan loaded up a fix for the “error creating directory” error.
Thanks Dan

Thanks a lot! Installation works fine after using this line-> sudo apt-get -f install
Only thing i miss is the screen resolution under hotkey 2. Anybody got an idea?
Using Karmic KDE, installs fine but as soon as it is launched, the screen goes all crazy and locks computer. Using the 511 bios on the 701 (fsb is 100 from bios); not sure if this issue is caused because this is made for gnome, or if it is my bios version. Was looking to install this to control fan speed which can be kind of crazy at times.
