eee box 202 8.10 beta2

[phenigma]

pedplar:  all lmce logs are located in /var/log/pluto/*  You may want to start with LaunchManager.log, you should be able to find which device is not starting.  It would also be a good idea to start another topic for the UI1 video blackout issue.  I will try to test this out this weekend sometime and see if I have the same issue.

_if_: Which issue?  UI2 not loading or UI1 video blackout during playback?

the UI2 issue, I get the same error: CIFS VFS: Write2 ret -12, wrote 0

to add: last time i tried again and suddenly AVWizard came on. I tried to complete it, but in the middle of the process the screens turned black...

[pedplar]

it doesn't matter which one.  With ui1 as long as you keep pressing the remote button every 10 or 15 mins its fine. useable.  ui2 is very unuseable

[pedplar]

ui2 might have the same problem also.  I checked LaunchManager.log, thats all that showed up.  It still said some devices failed to load

hey pedplar,
I don't know if you got it already working but I did so today(at least some kind of). UI2 is working for me at 800x600 with 65HZ (not 60 as default) . It's not perfect and I don't know if it's working for you as well, but it's at least something to work with...

No still not working.  ui2 at all, and ui1 not really either

[_if_]

mine neather! it worked for some minutes with ui2 but after a reboot same problem as before... same shitty error message.

I believe here are a view EEE users, are we the only two guys who get this error?

Has anybody any idea where to start?

thanks

I was able to watch 1 movie with ui1.  mythtv will only play for a couple minutes before the screen grays out.

[pedplar]

Its working with ui2 so far.  I ran update and dist-upgrade to get the latest updates.  Looks like most if not all were kde updates from ubuntu rrepos, I figured I would try ui2 again.  So far, its 30mins into a movie and its still working.

[_if_]

I now made a new clean netinstall (with all new updates) on the core, but still have no success getting the EEE box running as a MD. same CIVS errors again :-(

I am having no problems with ui1.  There are issues with ui2 and 0810.  The intel drivers will need to be updated and that will likely happen when 1004 is released.

[_if_]

the intel drivers were working in 7.10, weren't they? so what's the difference now and aren't a punch of people have it working properly in 8.10 with ui2? (call for EEE users!)

[pedplar]

I had it working with ui2 with the latest updates and updated intel driver.  But the wife likes ui1 on it better.  I fixed the black screen issue I was having by updating the bios to the latest version. 

[phenigma]

Pedplar:  Which driver version did you use and from which source?  There's a trac ticket open for this issue that I'd like to update if there is a working scenario.

I also have updated the B202 bios and do not experience the UI1 black screen.

I followed this post http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=9149.0.  I also used a xorg.conf from my wife's laptop to check if it was just the eee box or intel.
