Easy Ubuntu Hardy install on Asus EEEPC

I've written a simple python program to make installing Hardy on the Asus EEEPC even easier, the program fixes the following:

  • ACPI
  • WIFI: Compiles a working native driver from source
  • Shutdown: Fixes the shutdown bug
  • Audio: Fixes audio issues
  • HotKeys Wifi on/off; Suspend; Brightness up/down; Volume up/down

To install program (Start with a clean install of Hardy)

sudo apt-get install bzr
bzr branch lp:ubuntu-eeepc/0.1  ubuntu-eeepc-0.1
cd ubuntu-eeepc-0.1

For gnome small screen fixes:

./ubuntu_eeepc.py -g

For hardware fixes:

sudo ./ubuntu_eeepc.py -i
