Need Help Installing On Acer Aspire One Netbook

[jobin]

I've tried the atom version, the generic, and the intel versions of the distro.

The stick get created just fine using both the app file and bat file.


Boots up to the splash screen and freezes there the the 5 sec auto log, stuck at 5 can't arrow anywhere or move anything.

Have to hold power to shut it down.


Any Suggestions?


Thanks

OpenELEC targets recent-ish HTPC hardware for installation, not laptops, and particularly not ageing netbooks with the Intel GMA950 GPU which is one of the worst supported GPUs under Linux. I've no idea what the exact issue is but it's probably related to drivers. Try the Generic_OSS image, but even if it installs it probably won't work so well. You're probably better off running XBMC under Windows on that hardware.');

I have successfully installed OpenELEC onto the Acer Aspire One D255 using a multiboot configuration. I have used XBMC in Windows 7 as well as Lubuntu 12.10 and it has worked well. I noticed that XBMC is the only program I run on the machine over 99% of the time, so I wanted to give OpenELEC a shot. It boots fast, which I really like, but there is no network capability. I have tried both the generic and the generic OSS versions of OpenELEC 3.2 with the same results. The initial setup lists nothing in the Networking setup screen. Similarly there are no options or anything else listed under Settings>OpenELEC>Connections.
Is there any support for the Acer InviLink Nplify wireless module?
Is there a way to manually load a linux driver to enable wlan0?
I found a driver here: http://elektronenblitz63.de/download/Com...209.tar.gz
Link found at the bottom of this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1879562
Would this work? If so how?
Sorry for long post and thank you to whoever has some insight on this issue.

Sorry to double post but I've waited for a week with no response and only have more questions after going through the forums. I'll try to be direct and list them in order of importance.

Can new drivers be installed into OpenELEC at all?

What is the recommended method of removing OpenELEC?

Is there a compatibility list that would be understood by those outside the development team, especially novices interested in this OS?

If OpenELEC is produced mainly for new set top boxes, why wouldn't installation onto a computer be discouraged? I thought it was supposed to be a good way to breathe life into older hardware.

Thank you to anyone taking the time to reply.

OpenELEC is built with support for the AR9710 chipset so the lack of networking is probably down to the device having an unrecognised hardware identifier. If you can boot into Ubuntu and run "lsusb" and share the output here we can compare to the known device IDs in the kernel.

Thank You chewitt. I unplugged all external USB devices and came out with this:

Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0402:9665 ALi Corp. Gateway Webcam
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

[chewitt]

in that case it's not a USB device which is odd because AR9710 is supposed to be a USB chipset .. run "lspci" to see what's attached there

The BCM4313 wireless chip is only supported by the Broadcom STA "wl" driver. The "bcm_sta" package is our build-system as we use it with the AppleTV build, but in the Generic/Generic_OSS etc. builds we ship the in-kernel "b43" driver for broadcom devices, and b43 doesn't support that chipset.

For the Ethernet chip can you run "lspci -vnn | grep Atheros" so I can see the hardware IDs for the Atheros wireless chip. We include the ALT1C driver which is used by the AR8152 but it could be an unrecognised device ID.

Buy Soma online in a brand name called carisoprodol, a muscle relaxant that first came in 1952. Its impact is like barbiturates, making it successful in assisting with muscle pain, discomfort, and stiffness.

Soma is used in adjunct to active physical therapy to treat skeletal muscle pain and injury. The typical dose is between 750 mg to 1050 milligrams every day; if you buy Soma 350 mg online, you should not take more than three pills per day.

Presently, Soma is classified under Schedule IV of the Controlled Substances Act of the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Under this medication plan, it has the accompanying qualities:
 ⦁ Medical use in the United States
 ⦁ Low potential for abuse
 ⦁ Limited psychological or physical dependence, even when abused

Carisoprodol, the active ingredient of Soma, was created by Frank M. Berger at Wallace Laboratories. It was in 2008 when the potential for abuse of the medication was accounted for in some places. In 2011, the DEA gave the last decision referring to the carisoprodol to be arranged under Schedule IV of the Controlled Substances Act.
