Installing Ubuntu 7.04 on Laptop Acer Aspire

Posted on September 01, 2007

Hari ini mau menuliskan pengalaman install Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty fawn di laptop acer aspire seri 3684NWXMi.
Sebenarnya sudah lama mau menliskan ke blog ini tetapi berhubung kesibukan kerja dan juga kerjaan di luar dan ditunjang ketidakadaan koneksi maka hal ini jadi terlupakan.

So, sekarang ini saya coba me-recall kembali ingatan beberapa bulan yang lalu untuk dituangkan disini.
Berikut spesifikasi Acer Aspire 364NWXMi

- Intel Celeron M Processor 440 (1.86Ghz, 533 Mhz FSB, 1MB L2 cache)
- 14.1″ WXGA CrystalBrite LCD
- Mobile Intel 940 GML Express Chipset
- 80GB HDD
- DVD-Super Multi Double Layer (support DVD+R Double LayerDVD+-RW)
- 512MB DDR2
- 802.11b/g wireless LAN

Instalasi berjalan mulus tanpa hambatan tetapi ada beberapa hardware tidak dapat bekerja secara langsung seperti;
- modem
- wireless LAN
- Webcam

Berikut hasil lspci

terlihat khan di atas kalo WLAN aherosnya gak bisa bekerja. Demikian juga webcam-nya dimana di acer aspire saya ini pake merk SU YIN -made in china?-

Tapi jangan khawatir, ternyata ke-2 device tersebut diatas dapat berjalan dengan baik di linux ubuntu 7.04

Berikut prosedurnya. Buka terminal dan copy/paste langkah dibawah:

1. Download ndiswrapper (v1.47) source code dan AR5007EG Windows drivers:

wget http://blakecmartin.googlepages.com/atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b.tar.gz

2. Extract ke folder (saya extract ke /usr/ocal/src)

sudo tar xvf atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b.tar.gz -C /usr/local/src

3. pastikan kernel headers terpasang. Copy dan paste perntah berikut

sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential

4. Blacklist ath_pci kernel module

echo “blacklist ath_pci” | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

5. Compile ndiswrapper:

cd /usr/local/src/atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b/ndiswrapper-1.47/
sudo make uninstall
make
sudo make install

6. Install the Windows drivers (using ndiswrapper):

cd /usr/local/src/ atheros-ar5007eg-installer-0.1b/ar5007eg/
sudo ndiswrapper -i net5211.inf

7. Pastikan ndiswrapper selalu ter-load saat Linux start-up:

sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
echo “ndiswrapper” | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

8. Restart komputer

sudo init 6

9. Buka terminal, ketik

iwconfig

Jika terdapat hasilnya maka WLAN tersebut diprobe sebagai ‘wlan0′
Tinggal konfigurasi seperti biasa.

Sedangkan untuk webcam dapat dilakukan dengan ekiga dan pstikan parameter berikut terkonfigurasi di ekiga;
masuk ke ekiga, klik tab EDIT-PREFERENCES-Video Dvices dan pastikan nilainya sbb;

- Video Plugin: V4L2
- Input device: AcerOrbiCam
- Format: PAL
- Channel: 0

Sedangkan untuk modem belum dioprek :)

      Hi,

      By “googling” I saw your page about Acer 3683. The fact is I go 29 october 2007 to Malaysia (Perak).

      I have trouble to get Streamyx connection on Linux. Windows no problem.

      There is a manual of Provider (TM), but no result.

      Maybe if u have time please give me some good manual instructions how configure my laptop acer to Streamyx.

      Thank you in advance.

      Greetings,

      Saya punya laptop aspire 4715Z trus saya mau install linux apa aja tapi saya lebih prefer ubuntu. tapi ga ada yang bisa masuk ke installernya / atau linux live (ubuntu).

      saya coba untuk hilangkan splash waktu booting ke ubuntu live trus saya baru tahu kalau ubuntu 7.04 kesusahan baca hdd saya.

      laptop ini bisa menggunakan 2 mode sata yaitu AHCI dan IDE
      karena tidak bisa-bisa install linux saya terpaksa install windows XP… ternyata tetap bermasalah dan saya tahu penyebabnya… installer xp tidak mendeteksi hdd saya karena mode sata yang saya gunakan adalah AHCI trus begitu saya rubah ke IDE installasi lancar… trus merasa akan berhasil saya coba install lagi ubuntu 7.04 tapi ternyata tetap gagal walaupun mode sata yang saya pakai sudah mode IDE.

      kira-kira mas
