wheezy on Acer Aspire One 725

[Damjan Zemljič]

Hi,
trying to make USB flash image to install on mentioned hardware, but
without success. USB is not recognized as bootable media.
However, the same USB can be used to create Ubuntu flash image, it boots,
installs etc and it renders unbootable after the update. But that's
another - Ubuntu story.

Steps taken:
wget http://cdimage.debian.org/**cdimage/wheezy_di_beta4/amd64/**
iso-cd/debian-wheezy-DI-b4-**amd64-netinst.iso
wget http://ftp.nl.debian.org/**debian/dists/testing/main/**
installer-amd64/current/**images/hd-media/boot.img.gz

plugged in USB and assured it is not mounted

zcat boot.img.gz > /path-to-usb-dev

mount & copy iso to usb root folder

Where is the bug?

TIA,
Damjan

Hi,
thank you all for the hints (and great humor, Jerome), however, it 
didn't help. Btw. I've tried with dd before too, but the result is known.


What has been done so far:
- wheezy CD 64 bit image iso is downloaded, md5sum is correct
- USB is formatted to FAT32 (tried with FAT16 too - but I guess BIOS 
handles FAT32)
- dd (with bs=1M, 4M, none (defaulting to 512KB) / cat to device 
corrupts the filesystem on a device
- after image "is written on a USB device" that USB is "readable" on 
Linux, but not on Windows (and BIOS). Disk Utility on Ubuntu reports 
filesystem is not clean. Tried with GParted to fix the filesystem, 
without success.
- tried to write to the device while mounted/unmounted. Is there any 
difference if device file is stated as a target?


Can anyone create bootable USB with *wheezy* bits for yourself?

Regards,
Damjan

Maybe just as encouragement. I run Debian on Acer Aspire one 725 (C-60,
bluetooth,...)  flawlessly. Kernel 3.9, stable the rest.

suspend / hibernate via lid / button doesn't work

[Damjan Zemljič]

Hi,
testing Jessie (GNOME) on Acer Aspire One 725 I cannot control suspend /
hibernate via closed lid / power button.

>From the command line both cases work:
systemctl suspend
systemctl hibernate

In case power button / lid is used, the system does suspend, but at the
boot backlight of the screen is not turned on again. As such, one can login
and reboot, but without any content on the screen visible. I suspect some
installation packages are missing. Attached is the list of currently
installed ones.

Please help and thanks in advance,
Damjan

Hi again,
no need for a help.

After I've upgraded GNOME extension, it works. However, upgrade needs to be
done from here:
https://extensions.gnome.org/

apt(itude) didn't offer it.

Damjan

Ah, it still does not work. Celebrating too soon.
For some reason it did, for a while, and for some reason it doesn't anymore.

Don't know what to look for in the logs. Any tip / advice?

Damjan

Re: eth0 renamed

[Damjan Zemljič]

Hi,
One of the ways would be to create symbolic links to the "renamed" files.
Thus keeping /dev backward compatible.
