Hi
I bought an Acer Aspire One 521 a few months ago to use as a media player.
Unfortunately, with each of the last 4 versions of Ubuntu installed, the
headphone jack was completely dead. The same situation applied with numerous
other Linux distros. The only one to show any improvement was PCLinuxOS which
would, at least, send audio to the headphone jack, but not shut off the
internal speakers. Very annoying.
For the benefit of anybody experiencing the same symptoms with the AO521, I am
pleased to report that the problem has been fixed in 11.04. The headphone jack
works and the internal speakers shut off when expected.
The other niggling problem of having no battery monitor remains.
Maybe 24 hours is not giving it a fair chance, but I can't stand the new user
interface. It strikes me as unintuitive and a retrograde step in productivity.
I've installed XFCE instead which is great. It would be interesting to get the
views of other users who had never seen the new GUI until yesterday.
Regards
Nige
