New must-read - How to join the database software XEPC.org
January 26, 2008 - 2:18 pm Since the Eee PC is generally used by home users of Linux systems are relatively rare,
So there may be a lot of new Linux update will encounter problems of today by a teaching,
Can make it easy for novices to your Eee PC to install the best up-to-date software.
The first step is still often see the "Open Terminal" is the hot keys Ctrl-Alt-T,
Press the Ctrl and Alt hold, and then press T and then let go, the terminal about 10 seconds to see on the map like this are as follows: 
The second step is to become manager of the identity of the system is commonly referred to as "root" user, the method shown above,
Type "sudo-s", re-enter your password, attention and password will not show up, do not even have the stars (*) or other patterns, type, a red indicator will be the eeepc-xxx: / home / user>
The third step is to open a text editor, here we are using a "pico", because we wish to change the crawl to update the location of the server, it is necessary to modify the / etc / apt / sources.list, in the above chart type , You can see the following as editor of the screen. 
The fourth step is to modify the content as on the map like this, a total of two lines.
After revision, according to the Ctrl-X will be able to save the file names do not have to modify, after the store from the Editor,
Will see the indicator, the same as the first map. 
XEPC.org the GPG key database software can be downloaded, in order to ensure your system to download the software package is correct, please use the sudo apt-key add xepc-pubkey.txt our public key into your system.
The final step is to test, you can check the Internet, if I may, type
apt-get update
The order is an order of your system up-to-date software to crawl the Internet, such as updated versions of the message, and so on,
If successful, and you will see on the map as a result, if there is a failure, may have to amend the file format or spelling errors, and then changed a bit, so you can pay attention to space.
Even though these steps, you can easily crawl XEPC.org we have a library of software!

I guess you have installed Lazyeeepc or something like that, right?
Yes, you can do so, or put a "#" at the beginning of those lines.

Please, "on the XEPC.org" page, download the file key.
If your machine is new, can be installed to restore the CD-ROM version of the XEPC, more homogeneous and updated.

lazyfai Hello,
The article referred to above have,
Using apt-get update instructions can be updated all the new software.
If using the apt-get upgrade, which will set out to update the software.
Does this mean that if the update with instructions and then type the upgrade will not appear there is a new software update?
Or that the upgrade of the existing instruction set out just how to update software library to choose from??
In addition, if I use apt-get update to update, only to see a download / skip / have the words.
If the upgrade with updates, there will be "Warning: The following package failed to verify".
If I am elected "directly to verify the installation", will appear in the middle
"Error http:// ~ p901/main krdc 4:3.4.2.27-1 404 not found"
"Unable to download http:// ~ / 1.6/pool/common/xbase-client_7.2.ds2-2asus2_i386.deb file. Not the size of the file"
"Unable to download http:// ~ / 1.6/pool/p901/krdc_4% 3a3.4.2.27-1_i386.deb file. 404 not found"
You had trouble! Thank you!

Re: chris
This is the issue of ASUS server, you can use apt-get upgrade, when combined with options-fix-missing.
apt-get update just check things can be updated.

Hello to my eee pc was one of the first version before, I follow the above steps to update, and then, epc very serious update, but after the update, but did not say what changes have to ask is why ah?
In addition, before I have to use an article, use USB to restore a version of 20,080,909, that's a great update on the changes, there are a lot of good software, but there are a lot of useless to the software, but the most important thing is to look at rmvb video, ring true. Therefore, it would like to use this as a way to update, but no response, and I see another update article Dr.eye, follow suit, also did not respond, there is first mentioned epc The 701 version is wrong, I would like to ask how we want to update this version of the asus?
Finally would like to ask if there is some basis to ask the question, to which should be asked whether the board surface does?

Re: melsu
The first issue of the lack of information can not be sure that you answer, but at least it should be run sudo apt-get upgrade when they see an error message, to see what the problem is you could not run this upgrade?
20,080,909 to restore the use of the CD-ROM, the system will become with the 901, which were all up-to-date things, Dr. Eye and so have been in the system, their recommendations do not engage in those who use this version would be more convenient.
By lazyfai on Sep 16, 2008
Um ... ... update the running time seems to have some errors but can not read ... ...
Let me start from scratch again to find out:
After the update finish, it will automatically install it? Because in the time to find other articles found, and install the action, so, I guess, update the directory is updated only to the computer? When we need to use some of the software, and then install it on their own? For example: I would like to use the software dr.eye, when I update, the computer inside there dr.eye directory, and then, I have to terminals on the install Dr.eye, then I can use it? Or, as long as after the update, it will have all the software installed it?
This is because prior to entirely do not know linux, so just bought eee pc time (I was the first day of sales went to the Neihu line up Tsann Kuen, because it was too early to buy the older version?) A few days into it they win the xp (win xp use of the time watching movies will not ring true, why should not the hardware's not enough performance), and later, in the chance, see the use of wubi install ubantu (as happened when ubantu play a big problem, install When input has been a good account with no password, has been stopped at the sign in screen), so back to the eee pc learning linux, but because there is no basis to find a lot of articles, he has no solution and even less likely to have problems Q (as with the concept of windows Chaihao Duo), you hope that the simple answer carefully, you may think that things can be omitted, I found that it is great!

If the lack of basic knowledge, XEPC restore CD to install more security, if the films are not just relegated to the penny wise and pound foolish ... the fact that the new Linux than tinkering with the old system would be a bit easier, pay attention to the Hello.
apt-get command of the main 3:
