How do i create a file in /etc/modprobe.d to sort out my sd card reader. If I insert the card before boot up no problem it shows on the desktop but if I insert it after boot it wont show.

Thanks for the clear description. I have looked for many sites, but this is the website that has all the real fine-tuning to make the fedora experience on the acer aspire as it should be.
Thx

@xinita Usually when you get the problem you’re seeing it’s because your desktop environment isn’t installed correctly. When you’re logging it make sure GNOME or XFCE is selected. If one doesn’t work, the other might.

@Richie If you followed my instructions to install Fedora 10 you didn’t install it with LVM. I just did a straight partition install.

As for AUFS, I’ve never messed with it. If you setup LVM from the get go, that should work without a hitch.

Sorry, wish I could’ve helped.

Hi great site, I recently upgraded my AAO to Fedora 10 XCFE great mod, runs as quickly as Linpus really happy… everything working sound is a little dodgy still but I have had it working I just need to see what I deleted!

But now I need a Linux Guru, I have searched and googled and pulled what hair I have left out…

Lets talk about AUFS!!! I tried to extend the SSD with LVM but ‘pvcreate’ doesnt recognise the mmcblk0 ERROR not found or (not recognised by filters) I have checked and Fedora 10 is set to not filter, I tried to two lines of code that are online for AUFS that is an unknown command… with the 8Gig version it would be great to merge it with a 16 Gig SDHC card in the left slot…

There is also a block of code in the bugs forum, the author says that Fedora only recognises media form ‘DISK’ QUESTION: where should this code be inserted?

Any ideas people???

Hi! I’m having a little problem here, I installed fedora 10 in my AAO and did all the steps til 25. I rebooted but whenever I try to login the screen just flickers and takes me back to the login screen (doesn’t do anything at all, I can’t login ) and I was wondering if you knew why this is happening, I tried googling it but couldn’t find anything to fix my problem I hope you do

Thanks!

@kkjensen I left the journaling enabled. I prefer to lower the risk of filesystem corruption.

I installed the larger SSD on the hard drive version of the Aspire One, not the one that comes with the SSD.
