Todo list for XEPC recovery disc
April 29, 2008 – 10:58 pmIn order to let more people know the important todo list, I use English here:
- More easy to use ISO to USB disk support
- SD/MMC card reader bug fix, some of the people have difficulty of using SD/MMC slot
- Webcam not working well in aMSN for new uvcvideo driver
- More easy to use, pre-configured KDE Bluetooth support tool
- Non-destructive installation, ie. don’t format or preserve user home after recovery, Eee PC 900 recovery disc will ask user if they want to format /home after recovery
- Eee PC 900 support, the partition layout of Eee PC 900 is a bit different, with 2nd SSD as /home, something need to be changed, like fastinit
- 2GB kernel support, probably borrow from Eee PC 900 Xandros, all kernel related things need to be tested before really release it
- Chinese input support for Full Desktop Mode, gcin seems causing some trouble there
Any more request please give comments here. Thanks!

I was able to install the recovery disk from my 2gb usb drive. This is what I did.
I downloaded the recovery iso and copied all the files to the usb drive.
In windows I ran the makeboot batch file to make the drive bootable.
Then I noticed a file was missing so I copied the menu.c32 file from a previous cd to the usb drive.
Then I plugged it into my eee and booted of the usb drive. Everything went smoothly.
I would like more information about how to update my eee now. For example I tried changing the hostname normally and I wasn’t able to. I had to reboot into single user mode and manually change the /etc/hostname file to the new hostname that I wanted.
Thanks

輝兄:
升級後有一問題:
eeepc有三個usb + sd slot. 如插住 USB Flash disk, 起機後 file manager 就只找到 USB Flash disk, 無 sdhc 卡. 就算跟住拎走一定要 USB Flash disk,係 /media/ 就乜都冇, 再插回 USB Flash disk, 係 /media/ 就只得 係 /media/USB Flash Disk
請問是否一定不可插著 USB Flash disk 起機?

如果出現 SD/MMC 或者 USB 偵測失敗，可以用指令偵測一下:
sudo udevtrigger

Fai 兄,
麻煩你了,又是我. 先謝謝你的無私奉獻. USB 偵測失敗，已可以用指令sudo udevtrigger偵測到,解決了. 好了,問題又來了 (是 升級後的問題,已裝 lazyeeepc 0.0.5.1 4GB 701版):
Q1.在設定內有新増/移除程式, 可作 update 用途. 但無論是update那軟件,舉例- Skype,是update不到,出了:
Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 resource temporarily unavailable)
Unable to lock to administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
去 update Stardict, 攝影機,也是出這句.
Q2. 在 Bios 內, Onboard camera - Enable, 但在桌面內卻沒有了攝影機, 所以 skype 是沒有視像功能.
Q3. 要回復未upgrade時(即華碩出機設定)是否用跟機碟bootup再做一次,然後再用xepc.org升級碟執行一次?
謝謝你, Fai 兄

Re: wycy2
A1. 可以試試看用指令升級: sudo apt-get update 和 sudo apt-get upgrade 看看有什麼問題。
A2. 也是用 udevtrigger 重新偵測，如果不行，請執行硬體測試（在設定頁）。
A3. 要用華碩原來的 recovery dvd 還原。如果只是還原到剛安裝 XEPC 升級後，可以用F9。

輝兄:
已用用指令升級: sudo apt-get update 和 sudo apt-get upgrade 及 udevtrigger 重新偵測, 但攝影機icon及功能仍是欠奉, 所以 skype 是沒有視像功能. 在 setting 內,是 偵察到有 video cam 及 test 到 functioning well.
請問如何可加番個icon同 可以 activate 佢.
謝謝

Ni hao (Lay ho ma). Is there an English version of xepc.org? I am trying to convert / upgrade my 4GB 701 Xandros to OOo 2.4.x, ruby (gems / fxruby), java 1.6.x sdk, k3b, etc etc and am trying to decide to use your iso. I also want to integrate rox-filer and icewm. A few more questions: how often do you intend to upgrade your iso? Will it impact removal of unionfs?
Excellent offering anyway, well done. Ho ho (hen hao)!

Re: Wayne
As the compressed filesystem is purely read-only, unionfs is a must for it.
Roughly speaking the XEPC.org recovery disc will be released in about 4-6 weeks of time, depends on how many programs are updated/added.
A new one is coming soon, maybe next week, which should include firefox 3 as the biggest update.
