Skype is free if you download it for personal use, however, if a computer manufacturer wants to install it as OEM software, there’s a licence fee to pay, which would have bumped up the cost of the Aspire One and would have made Skype the only paid-for software on the machine. </p> <p>Don’t know if this is true, but if it is, hats off to Acer for saving us all some unnecessary cash.</p> <p>However, that leaves us with the problem of getting Skype on the Aspire One.</p> <p>Got a mail from Daniel who managed to get Skype installed on his Aspire One just the way he wanted and I thought I’d post it here so that you could do the same.</p> <p>First off, you have to download and install Skype 2.0 for Linux. You can find it <a href="http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/">here</a>. (<a href="http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/">http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/</a>)</p> <p>To launch it, you’ll need to enable the advance mode on the Acer Aspire One that allows the user to “go behind” the default GUI (graphic user interface) and open up the main Linpus features.</p> <p>“To do this go to Files > My Documents to open the File Manager. Then go to File > Terminal.</p> <p>The Linpus Linus uses Xfce, so use “xfce-setting-show” to get the Xfce Settings Manager.</p> <p>Click on Desktop to get to the Desktop Preferences and choose the Behavior tab.</p> <p>Now click under Menus the Show desktop menu on right click option and close the window.</p> <p>This setting will allow you to bring up the normal desktop menu when you right click somewhere on the desktop. The Desktop Menu contains many more options than the limited user interface on the Aspire One.</p> <p>Under System you will find Add/Remove Software which is the Red Hat/Fedora Packet Manager. You will need your password (the one you set up during installation) to access it. Now you can go nuts and install programs. It’s a pretty big selection and the files will be downloaded (you need internet access) and installed for you. If it’s an application you usually find it later in the Desktop Menu.</p> <p>That will put it on your desktop but if you want it in the “Connect” area, then you’ll need to edit a XML file located in:</p> <p>/home/user/.config/xfce4/desktop/group-app.xml</p> <p>Opened it and look for the line concerning Skype:</p> <p><!-- app sequence="4">/usr/share/applications/skype.desktop</app--></p> <p>Just delete the exclamation point and the dashes, reboot and there it is, the Skype logo in all its glory in the Connect Area! </p> <p>A screenshot of the Homepage:</p> <div align="center"><img

Aspire One - Mplayer<h3 class="post-title entry-title"> <a href="http://aspireonelinux.blogspot.com/2008/07/get-mplayer-to-play-your-favorite-video.html">Get MPlayer to play your favorite video files</a> </h3> <span style="font-family: arial;">The standard video player in Aspire One is MPlayer - the Media Master is just another GUI to use mplayer.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />But the MPlayer that cames standard in this Linux can't play some of the most common video codecs used on the internet video files (like DivX, XviD, H.264, etc) I don't know if it's a bug in libvacodec (used by MPlayer) or some sort of patent protection to avoid some codec licensing problems on some countries.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />Anyway, if you want to play a more "uncommon" codec video file, you can "install" the video codecs available in official MPlayer site for download:</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">(get binary codec package for linux x86, decompress it somewhere and put the files (mostly dll's) in "/usr/lib/codecs/")</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />If you don't know how to do this, open the file manager, and in file menu you can open a terminal to type command lines.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />Whenever a password is needed, it's the password you entered in the factory wizard of the first time you started the computer.</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />So if you downloaded a file say "essential-20071007.tar.bz2" you should do something like this:</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br />tar xvfj Downloads/essential-20071007.tar.bz2</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br />sudo mv essential-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs/</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />or in case you want a more complete codec package:</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">get the file from:</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><a href="http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2">http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/codecs/all-20071007.tar.bz2</a></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />and accordingly:</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br />tar xvfj Downloads/all-20071007.tar.bz2</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br />sudo mv all-20071007/* /usr/lib/codecs/<br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;">now your MPlayer sould be able to play some more ccodec types, but unfortunately not the most common ones, so here you can get a new version of MPlayer that can play almost everyting (somewhat like VLC) files needed:</span><br /><br /><a href="http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libfaac0-1.26-3.fc8.i386.rpm">http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libfaac0-1.26-3.fc8.i386.rpm</a><br /><a href="http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libx264_54-svn20070414_2245-4.fc8.i386.rpm">http://dl.atrpms.net/all/libx264_54-svn20070414_2245-4.fc8.i386.rpm</a></span></span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><a href="http://dl.atrpms.net/all/mplayer-1.0-63_rc2.fc8.i386.rpm">http://dl.atrpms.net/all/mplayer-1.0-63_rc2.fc8.i386.rpm</a></span></span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><a href="ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpms/fedora/linux/8/mplayer-skins/mplayer-skins-1.8-1.noarch.rpm">ftp://fr.rpmfind.net/linux/freshrpms/fedora/linux/8/mplayer-skins/mplayer-skins-1.8-1.noarch.rpm</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">They are RPM packages made for Fedora Core 8 so you can install them on your One's Linux - you should follow by that order.</span><br /><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br /><span style="font-family: arial;">And to conclude some more command lines:</span><br /><br />cd /usr/share/mplayer/</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br />sudo ln -s Skin skins</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br />cd Skin</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><br />sudo ln -s bluecurve default</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />And U'll have a new fully functional version of MPlayer with dozens of new skins available.</span><br /></span></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Right click on any of MPlayer's window and select skin browser to try them.</span><span style="font-family: courier new;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />PS: If MPlayer starts complaining about a missing font (at the begining of playback), go to it's preferences (right click menu of MPlayer) and select this font:</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br />/usr/share/X11/fonts/TTF/luxisr.ttf</span><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /><br />Good MPlaying

Aspire One - BluetoothFrom : http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2008/08/14/modding-the-acer-aspire-one-bluetooth/<br /><br /><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tnkgrl/sets/72157606718788110/"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3076/2761713397_e684b19b72.jpg" width="450" height="338" /></a></p> Welcome to part 1 of a multi-part post on moddng the <a href="http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2008/08/10/unboxing-the-acer-aspire-one/">Acer Aspire One</a>! <p>In this part, I demonstrate how to take the Aspire One apart, how to upgrade the RAM, and how to add internal USB Bluetooth…</p> <p>Here’s a <a href="http://qik.com/video/161904">video</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tnkgrl/sets/72157606718788110/">some pictures</a>.that cover the take apart and RAM upgrade process.</p> <p>The internal USB Bluetooth mod is pretty much identical to the one I performed on <a href="http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2007/11/28/modding-the-asus-701-eee-bluetooth/">my Asus 701 (Eee)</a>. It works without interfering with the built-in wireless or disabling any of the available USB ports. Use <a href="http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2007/11/28/modding-the-asus-701-eee-bluetooth/">this post</a> for reference, and keep an eye on the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tnkgrl/2761713397/in/set-72157606718788110/">pictures</a> for some future annotations.</p> <p>Basically, I connected a <a href="http://us.kensington.com/html/14409.html">micro USB Bluetooth module</a> (Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR) to a 5V trace (off in standby), a nearby ground trace, and the USB signals (pins 36 & 38) available on the mini PCIe card slot occupied by the WiFi card. The Bluetooth module was stripped, wrapped in <a href="http://www.kaptontape.com/">Kapton tape</a> and installed under the palm rest.</p> <p>In <a href="http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2008/08/16/modding-the-acer-aspire-one-hard-drive/">part 2</a>, I’m going to show how to replace the SSD with a 1.8″ PATA hard drive and how to reassemble the Aspire One.</p> <p><span id="more-341"></span><strong>Update:</strong> Here’s a reply to various people’s comments on various other posts that have linked to my mod.</p> <p>1) You don’t have to use a micro USB Bluetooth module (although I got mine on sale, two for $40). You can use almost any USB Bluetooth module - most of them are Linux/OSX/Windows compatible out of the box. All Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) chipsets work for sure, so just check the specs. <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875999269">This one</a> should work - it’s CSR-based and it’s cheap.</p> <p>There are 2 things to keep in mind with Bluetooth modules:<br />- Avoid Bluetooth 1.0/1.1/1.2 modules. These are obsolete. Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR is the way to go.<br />- Avoid Class 1 (100 meter) modules. The range is better but the power consumption is higher. Go for class 2 (10 meter).</p> <p>2) Yes, I’ve successfully taken apart and put together my Aspire One several times now. In the video, I was taking it apart for the second time and I was surprised about how difficult the keyboard was to remove, because it was a lot easier the first time around. I blame it on the fact that I was streaming the video live :)</p> <p>3) The video is longer than I wanted it to be (see 2 above), but it’s worth watching if you have time, because it contains a lot of details and answers a lot of questions about the Aspire One hardware.</p> <p>4) I have not yet tested the pads for USB signals (pins 36 & 38) on the missing mini PCIe connector, but I’ll do it soon. I’ve ordered some parts to do a 3G mod using the pads for the missing mini PCIe and SIM holder on the motherboard.</p> <p>5) There’s another version of the Aspire One with a hard drive, 1 GB RAM, and Windows XP (it uses a standard 2.5″ SATA HDD and a modified casing). It’s definitely worth the extra $30, but it’s both thicker and heavier. My Bluetooth mod should work with this other version as well.</p>WKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09622026979552011474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075526352081027832.post-12981936392363071312008-08-26T15:54:00.000+08:002008-08-26T16:00:35.837+08:00Acer Aspire One - Advanced Modealt+f2<br />打 terminal<br />選"在終端機中執行" -> 會彈出一個terminal<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">打 xfce-setting-show</span>WKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09622026979552011474noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075526352081027832.post-12973722935846239412008-08-26T12:42:00.001+08:002008-08-26T12:45:42.944+08:00Acer Aspire OneAcer Aspire One Forum<br /><a href="http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/">http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/</a><br /><br />Official Website<br /><a href="http://www.acer.com/aspireone/">http://www.acer.com/aspireone/</a>WKhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09622026979552011474noreply@blogger.com0
