Sadly .. i have to say no guarantee, Linpus version i had on my Acer just the command line version, it is absolutely no use. I tried Mandriva powerpack, Open Suse 10, Centos 5.2, but Ubuntu has been a good one as always.

With Ubuntu 8.04.1 the camera works using cheese, go try it then. Please update me OK

Hello, I am about to buy this model, but there’s only vista installed and I’m going to install linux, you mentioned you have Linpus installed, if I download Linpus, will all hardwares be supported out of the box?

Sorry for the late reply.
Hmm … are you using Linux or Windows?
If Linux is your operating system, which i hope it is Ubuntu 8.04 try this command first, just to give it a check
sudo lspci

Then you check there if your audio device is detected, if it is detected, it means that the problem is its driver, and for that matter, google is the best source.

Please update me OK.

I have an Acer 4315 but have no sound. How to activate internal speaker please? Have tried the function button. Obviously I am doing something wrong or not right enough. Help!

Dear Pak Ketut,

I bought it Rp. 8 million…but yesterday, I saw the price at Bhinneka only Rp 7,999,000.
2 days ago, the price at Bhinneka was Rp 8,639,700….600,000 only in 2 days

First, I only install Windows XP…that’s why I have lost my 30 Gb…but after install SP2 and Chipset driver from Acer, my lost space is show as unallocated space
Now, my harddisk space is back hehehe.
Thank you very much for your advice.

I bought it on February 26, the price was Rp. 8, 375, 000 and then on March 10, i went back to the computer store to get 1GB memory for the laptop, i saw the price of it went down sharply! Rp. 8, 030, 000! Damn! i was furious! hehe *upss, sorry for the word*

Well, actually, i have already expected that it would happen, but i didn’t expect it to be that soon.

130GB?! you have lost 30GB then, that is big! I am not sure what has happened with yours, but every time i buy a new harddrive, i always reformat it using my one and only bootable Partition Magic 8 and for the laptop I only lost around 10GB, which is still pretty big for me, as based on my experience, it usually somewhere around 4GB.

My advice will be, try to delete all the partitions you have made, then reformat the harddrive again and make some new partitions. I know the process will be time consuming, but i can not think of any other solutions for you sorry.

Your english is “kacau”? no worry, that is why we are learning

Oh yeah, i use NTFS for all partitions.

Dear Pak Ketut,

I already install the laptop with Windows XP, but I found that the size of my harddisk became only 130 Gb. Is that happen with you too?
I choose “IDE” on BIOS, because I can’t install Windows XP if I choose “AHCI”.
Please advice….thank you.
