[HowTo] eee-control on Karmic and new eeepc

Hello everyone, a month ago I bought an EeePC 1005HA-model H with 2 GB of RAM. As to "turn" advanced 3D games do not talk, I started hacking and testing Ubuntu, specifically Ubuntu Netbook Remix (UNR) 9.10, which is nothing but a distribution optimized for the netbook, in fact. Unlike the version 9.04 (where you have to fix a problem of recognition of network devices, ethernet and wireless), with the last release, almost everything works "out of the box" (ie without additional applications or complications), I say almost because the microphone must be also fixed (as in the old release) as some function keys.

The appropriate software is eeepc eee-control that allows you to customize the function keys (resolving our fault) and optimize some other aspect of energy saving and thermal insulation. Unfortunately, with UNR 9.10 has some problems and has not yet been updated for the new models of netbooks (of course mine is a new model), but with little effort we can adapt.

First of all we follow this guide (in English and then summarize shortly, but for those who know the language, the original Board of Segura):

1. In a shell type "wget \u200b\u200b http://danamlund.dk/eee-control/eee-control_0.9.4_all ~ karmic.deb "
   This will download the file to install.
2. We install eee-control by typing "sudo dpkg-i eee-control_0.9.4_all ~ karmic.deb "
   [ADDITION TO GUIDE] probably will tell you that there are unmet dependencies, if so type "sudo apt -get-f install ", this should fix the problem and install the software

After that launch the daemon with eee-control" sudo eee-control-daemon "and the tray icon with "eee-control-tray " it should begin with "Error communicating with eee-control-daemon: The name org.eee.Eee Was not provided by any. service files" At this point we proceed as follows:

1. ends both processes with " sudo kill` pidof-x eee-control-daemon `x` pidof-eee-control-tray `"
2. we must modify the script eee-control-daemon, and then launch "sudo gedit` which eee-control-daemon `, we arrive at line 85 (approximately) that it should be this:" elif os.path.exists ("/ sys / class / backlight / eee / brightness ")" and change "eee " in the path of the disc with " acpi_video0 "
3. do the same thing the next line should be "brn_path =" / sys / class / backlight / eee / brightness "and become" brn_path = "/ sys / class / backlight / acpi_video0 / brightness "
4. Save and Close.

Now we restart daemon and tray that, at this point, should no longer give the error first and it should spin smoothly.

I also noted that the enabling and disabling the wifi can cause problems in my case whether it's running eee-control (even the demon) and off the wifi with Fn + F2, I can not reactivate it if not "kill" the daemon and repeatedly pressing the combination to activate the wifi (I have not understood what is the procedure to follow but after a while 'I can reactivate it), so if you find yourself in this situation, do not lose heart, it is not all lost!
