Thanks for posting about this!

Are you running any eee scripts to control processor speed depending on power source like eee-control or the elmurato scripts? Do you have 2GB RAM installed? I have heard that this combination sometimes causes issues like this, and it has for me with my eee901, however it was at the oposite action, when unplugging power from the eee.

Welcome to the forums and #! CrunchBang!

Believe me, you will even more impressed after an install - I am running #! CrunchBang Lite even on an old Thinkpad 770X, which I believe has a 350MHz CPU and it is fully usable at actually impressive speed for that machine. It transformed a paperwork into something usable again.

I had the exact same situation happen when I first installed cruncheee onto the SD in my eee901. For the life of me I can not remember exactly which option I used, but I used supergrubdisk on a bootable USB stick to make the right partition active with a working grub installation on it - I remember it was pretty much automated - check the supergrubdisk web site I would recommend.

Hope that helped!

I just did the same thing and added the elmurato scripts - the problem is that I seem to have the 2GB RAM-Crash-Issues as discussed in that post, so I had to change my CPU policies for that not to happen - unfortunately that reduced my battery life from 5:30h to 2:50h, which is enough reason for me to go back to stock and deal with those issues rather than loosing precious run time. I guess I could try different RAM...

Hello Philip!

Just started blogging again, and although there is no bigger #! post on there yet, I am sure there will be in the future. In the mean time, here is my feed info if you'd like to include it:

Hello Philip!

I think it is a perfectly fine and good idea to do that - somewhere the money has to come from, and even though you said you are committed to fund the project for the foreseeable future, there might be members of the community out there that not only would like to donate their time and skills, but maybe help out with hosting costs or something like that, and therefore I was just wondering if you had ever thought about a PayPal donations widget-thingamachig or if I am maybe just too blind to find it on the page.

Me too...it's the first computer I have seen that with. There was a topic over at the eee forums - some actually see it as a convenient thing as an emergency cell phone charger while the machine is suspended

Yes, the suspend recovery is excellent - but one thing amazes and puzzles me even more, and that is that it has to suspend the computer into a different state than winXP does. Sometimes I don't use my eee901 for days, and with winXP booted and suspended it is usually dead and shuts off after 4 days. Under cruncheee I still have about 50% capacity left!

Which model eeePC are you running?

I am running cruncheee on my eeePC 901 and in performance mode at 1.6GHz my fan only runs on half speed with the CPU @ 54C. If I manually take the fan down to 1000rpm I the temperature still stays around 57C.

If I run video full screen the fan does kick up a notch, as do the temperature, but not to any levels different from what the same machine does under WinXP/Win7.

What kind of CPU temperatures and fan speeds are you seeing?

Have a look here, maybe you find a solution there: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes

Guess I should drop a line here too after being on the forums and on #! and cruncheee for a while now!

I live in the state of Connecticut in the Northeast US, work, breathe and live IT since a little more than the last 15 years of my 35 year old live, but also operate a small graphic design studio on the side. I am originally from Germany but moved to the US some years ago.

I love Music, go to as many shows as I can, DJ when time allows and love to play with cars, boats and motorcycles ;-)

Peace!
