The system does not recognize SD media after installing Easy Peasy. How do I fix this?

Comment by Gordon Cooper — April 27, 2009 @ 9:03 am

My experience: go into the Bios and change Installing new OS to finished: this will make your SD-reader (and webcam) available again…

Comment by ZeroZorro — May 3, 2009 @ 1:29 pm

Good work! Curious how 2.0 will work on my EEE900. But please: Include drivers and utils for using my eGalax touchscreen! That would make it more perfect… :-)

Runs well on my 901, which I received last night and installed 1.1 on half hour later (because I upgraded ram first), after having tried 1.0 on my 701.

As with any OS, I still found a lot of things worth disabling, removing, or reconfiguring, but Easy Peasy’s required the least tweaking of anything I’ve tried. The high point of my install was when I saw the default /etc/fstab, and didn’t have to change a thing.

Hi,
thanks for your great work. I Just upgraded from easypeasy 1.0 to 1.1. It looks great, I love it. If its going on with easypeasy like this, there is no reason to change to Ubuntu 9.04 NBR. Your closer to eeepc. By the way, what magic happened: Zattoo works even better after the upgrade. Its a great piece of software, watching Internet TV on my 701.
So just wanted to say thank you for tuning my eeepc in such a great machine. Greetings from the sunny lake of constance, southern germany. Tobias

I have downloaded and installed
easy peasy 1.1 on my 701sd. I am impressed, and thank all the developers for their work.
But version 1.0 allowed me to install the OS onto an SDHC card in the card reader when installing from a usb stick, I was unable to do this with 1.1

Are there any changes from 1.1.rc2?

Comment by Tom — April 23, 2009 @ 7:48 pm

Hooray! I loves the EeezyPeasies, thanks! Though, for lack of spare time and sanity, I may hold out on upgrading until the 2.0 release. Jaunty!

Here’s how you upgrade from Easy Peasy 1.0: http://wiki.geteasypeasy.com/Upgrade_to_Easy_Peasy_1.1

Comment by Jon Ramvi — April 23, 2009 @ 9:04 am

Hi, I’m trying to download easypeasy. Download speed is around 15-30 kB/s (really slow). All attempts have failed so far. I’m trying ktorrent now. The success of easypeasy is linked to ease of download. Would it be possible to use other faster mirrors, like university servers around the world? I’m looking forward to trying easypeasy on the eee.

Best regards Einar

So, will this make my olpc xo not suck?

Comment by Nathan MWF — April 22, 2009 @ 8:57 pm

Will it support Itunes and ODBC ? I would like to install on my HP mini 1000, but with out that support it’s a no go for me. Looks good though.

Comment by Ben — April 22, 2009 @ 8:25 pm

So how can i upgrade now from 1.1 RC2? Have probs with 3G Connect and need it running! Help please.

I love Easy Peasy but a little more information would be wonderful …

Comment by AndyGER — April 22, 2009 @ 1:13 pm

Deleted v 1.0, installed v1.1,on Aspire One. Firefox now only opens in small box. Not usable. Can’t find workaround, back to v1.0 ?

Comment by frankg — April 22, 2009 @ 11:20 am

OK, if I can find and replace every instance of the distro’s name, I’ll give it a shot.

Comment by Dale — April 22, 2009 @ 7:12 am

So how do I upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1? Without downloading the entire new ISO if possible.

Comment by Myles — April 22, 2009 @ 6:33 am

Hi,

Does this version support hotkey use of the external VGA port? I would like to move from the default OS [forgotten the name] but all distro’s I ave tried on my EEE don’t make it easy [using the hot keys] to enable the VGA out, which is a must for me.

Thanks.

Comment by DaveQB — April 22, 2009 @ 12:35 am

Awesome, Jon! Thanks.

Is there going to be a way to upgrade using apt-get?

Comment by Peter — April 21, 2009 @ 10:43 pm

W00t! I’ve been looking forward to the latest version. Downloading the ISO now on Bittorrent and will seed.

I’ve been having difficulties with Jaunty on my new 1000HE, so I’m hoping this will resolve them.

Thanks.

I’ve downloaded it but was disappointed to see that my wifi card (atheros) didn’t work “out of the box”. I’m a Linux n00b and would like things to just work without fiddling in terminal. The looks however are great!

no stupid bugs? no ubuntu logos?…no problem…but don’t forget…basically you’re saying ubuntu is stupid with bugs etc…hm…strange when this one is based on ubuntu…nice words to chose for a release announcement.

One of the links (http://www.jonramvi.com/easy-peasy-11-rc2-due-any-day-now/) return “500 Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was
unable to complete your request.”

I send an e-mail to page administrator (webmaster@jonramvi.com) as described on error page it bounced back :(

Maybe I will wait also with upgrade…?
