http://crunchbanglinux.org – Hello everybody.I have a problem with Crunchbang and my netbook (Asus 1015PX). I've made a powersaving set up for my PC. First of all, I installed this powersaver script that I saw in this forum, then I installed Jupiter applet (and the jupiter-support-eee), and finally I installed cpufreqd. I think it is all OK when I'm working only with battery. The temperature rises up, and the netbook gets too hot If I take out the battery. About 54º without doing anything, (42º-43º with battery), and more than 60º if I launch the web browser (without doing anything else, 50º-51º with batt (HowTos)

One of the major selling points of Eee PC netbooks is their impressive battery life which is achieved by utilizing the Asus Super Hybrid Engine (SHE) technology. While it's designed to work under Windows, you can take advantage of this technology if you're running a Linux distro on your Eee PC, courtesy of the Jupiter utility.

I have installed "Jupiter" on my Sony VAIO VPCZ2 laptop. it is very useful for me. I want to know what is the functionality of "jupiter-support-eee" package? is it only for eee netbook? can i install it on my laptop?

Thanks.

Crunchbang is beautiful! 2 years 21 weeks ago

Hey, I have used #! for about 2 years on my Asus EEE PC 701 netbook. Started with hearing about cruncheee. Searched it, installed it and got used to using crunchbang. Crunchbang is nothing short but a work of art.

Hi

I have an Asus Eee PC with Ubuntu Netbook 10.10 installed which I've been trying to get my home Wi-Fi working with.

After reading some of the other forum threads about the subject, I ended up opening the Additional Drivers manager & removing, then reactivating the Broadcom STA wireless driver.

I've been having a battery issue of sorts, and this seemed like the best place to ask for help. About 2 months ago, I bought a 12000 mAh high capacity battery for my EeePC from an Amazon vendor. At first it seemed like it was having issues with shutting off with a good charge left (like 40%), but then the problem seemed to go away.
