Frequently Asked QuestionsEdit

Here are a few of the questions or issues which regularly come up on the Aspire One User Forum.

A couple of BasicsEdit

Many of the solutions to basic issues on Linpus require you to 'unlock' the One. Acer set it up to be a very simple machine, but in doing so they hid a lot of the power of the system. The most basic change you can make to enable you to get to a lot more power is to enable the right-click menu on the desktop.

The Command LineEdit

Many instructions for 'tweaking' Linux use the command line. This is not because you can't do many of the same things with a graphical interface, but because Linux generally provides you with a choice of various graphical ways of doing things - instructions to cover them all would be very lengthy.

Explaining how to do something from the command line is, by comparison, relatively easy - and you can copy & paste the command line instructions from the wiki into your own machine easily. So don't be put off by using the command line: it's just the easiest way to explain things.
