Denna tutorial ska take dig som varje singel kliver av installerande den långt igenom Ubuntuen 8.04 (härdad Heron) på din Asus Eee PC. Kliver är specifikt för Eee PC 900 (prålig SSD 16GB modellerar), men ska är liknande för annan Eee PC' S.
- Nedladda, först Ubuntu Eee iso. Denna är en version av Ubuntu 8.04 som specifikt skapas för den Asus Eee PC:N.
- Du har ett primat av 3 olika väg att installera Ubuntu.
- Du kan bränn .isoen sparar till CDEN, och använd ett drev för utsidaUSB CD/DVD för att starta från den CD.
- Du kan överföra isoen sparar (och gör den bootable), till ett drev för för USB-minnespinne/tum genom att använda UNetbootinen-Ubuntu Eee för att bearbeta (Windows version/Linux version).
- Du kan överföra .isoen sparar till ett SD-kort (och gör det bootable) som använder den samma UNetbootinen-Ubuntu Eee för att bearbeta. Denna metod kan är det ”mest smärtsam” - men arstechnica har du att täckas med anvisningarna.
- Denna tutorial använder ”överföringen metoden till för USB-tumdrev” (jag händer att ha en), och den är antagligen det snabbast långt.
- Nedladda Windows version av UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee om din Eee PC är för närvarande rinnande Windows, eller Linux version om det är rinnande Linux.
- Denna tutorial antar att du har XP som installeras - om du har Linux, följ denna tutorial för att överföra isoen till din USB tum drev och hoppa over därefter besegrar för att kliva nedanför #11.
- Du kan behöva formatera ditt USB-tumdrev för att installationen som fungerar. Fast du inte kan behöva att formatera, är det lättare till precis gör det och bär på i stället för finner ut mer sistnämnd att en formatera krävdes.
- Barkass UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee, genom dubblett-att klicka den.
- Se till att Ubuntu Eee och 8.04 var utvald från Fördelning drop-down menyer. Välj Diskimage radiosände knäppas och klickar därefter … knäppas. Navigera till ditt ubuntu-eee-804.iso spara och välj det.
Välj drevet som föreställer ditt USB-tumdrev, slutligen. För min Eee PC är USB-tumdrevet E:\ Klicka REKO att börja.
- UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee will start to convert and transfer the iso file to your thumb drive. Note: if it seems to ’stall’ at file #8, don’t worry - it’s at that step that the largest file is being converted.
- Once UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee has finished, you’ll be prompted to reboot your device. Click the Reboot Now button.
- As soon as your Eee PC starts up again, hit the Esc (escape) key a few times until a Please select boot device: window appears. Use the down arrow key to select your USB thumb drive, and once it’s highlighted, hit the Enter key on your keyboard.
- Your Eee PC will now boot into Ubuntu. Remember, this is the “live” version of Ubuntu - it’s running from your USB thumb drive, not your Eee PC’s hard drive. Play around for a bit if this is your first time using Ubuntu. You can still back out of the installation and return to whatever Operating System your Eee PC came with (just reboot again).
- To continue and install Ubuntu to your Eee PC, click the Install icon on the desktop.
- Select your language and click the Forward button to continue.
- Now select your city (or the closest one to it in the same time zone) and click Forward.
- Choose the keyboard layout you want to use, and yep you guessed it - click Forward.
- If you are in fact using the Eee PC 900 (or higher), select Guided - use entire disk. If you have an earlier model, with a smaller SSD drive, you may want to review the details here and decide if you want to have Ubuntu create a swap partition. Alternately, if you have a model with multiple “drives” (xGB SSD and xGB Flash), you may want to install Ubuntu on the SSD drive, and then mount the /home folder on the Flash drive). When you’re ready, click Forward.
- Enter the appropriate info in each of the provided fields. When you’re done, click Forward.
- Review the summary window, and click Install to begin the installation.
- Grab a cup of coffee - the installation will take a while. Don’t go too far away though…
- Once the installation has completed, click Restart now. Let your Eee PC boot normally (don’t hit the Esc key as it starts) - and you’ll boot into Ubuntu. That’s it - you’re done!

Cool!
I have been thinking of getting an Eee PC. My only concern is the wireless issue. Does it work well under Ubuntu?
thnx alot… i was planning to install Ubuntu. ill use this guide. thnx!
@Damien - Wireless and wired connects both work great right out of the box (assuming you’re using Ubuntue Eee as the distribution - “regular” Ubuntu will take some tweaking to get wireless working)
i am really interested to get ubuntu 8.04 on my eeePC 701 (4GB SSD), but i am a bit concerned about ur guide no. 17,care to explain please?
i have a 16GB SDHC card plugged into the card reader, can i install ubuntu on the SSD and put the /home on the SDHC card?..if yes how do i go about doing it?
is there any issues with the hardware compatibilities and i use a lot of skype(video) on Xandros eeePC, any solutions?
thanks
sorry another question, will i be needing the fix suggested by this http://wiki.eeeuser.com/getting_ubuntu_8.04_to_work_perfectly
once i install ubuntu 8.04 on my eeePC 701..
@wooikok,
1. Yes you can make your SDHC card your /home folder.
2. Re: Step #17 - read http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:customization carefully. It explains the pros and cons of having a swap on a small hard drive.
3. I don’t know exactly what hardware comes with the 701 - I don’t have one, so I can’t test it. I suspect that if you follow this guide and use Ubuntu Eee instead of “normal” Ubuntu, it will all work. But again, I can’t confirm that because I don’t have a 701.
4. Backup Xandros and try out Ubuntu Eee. If it doesn’t work, use the restore CD and then move all your files from the backup to your Eee PC.
5. It’s unlikely you’ll need any of the fixes outlined in the link you included in your second comment. Ubuntu Eee includes most of them (maybe all) by default.
Hope this helps,
Ross

While installing 8.04.1 ubuntu-eee and writing up my own similarly-intended guide (good job, btw), I noticed that the installer skips step 6 of 7. Same thing appears in your screenshots. Any idea what’s up? The website form above links to the question as posed on ubuntu forums.
Two other comments:
-first of all, how do you get such great screenshots while installing?
-secondly, I think some more discussion about partitioning may be useful. Check out my discussion here, feel free to make use of it in this guide if you find it useful.
got everything working on my eeePC n now also got it on my dell laptop and desktop….one word…wow…
please send me , a tutorial for instal ubuntu in my eee pc
@azharz -
You can find a tutorial to install Ubuntu on your Eee PC here.
Hi,
I’ve been trying to do follow this firstly with an SD card and then went and bought a USB memory stick large enough to do it but I’m having a problem at stage 12.
After I slect the USB drive, instead of seeing the OS I get a black screen with writing along the top, then some dots appear and draw along the top before it says ‘ready’ and then stops at that…
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, and thanks for a great guide! I have a problem with the wireless (I followed this guide on an Asus eee 900). I don’t see any wireless networks, even though I know there is one available. Any known issues with this?
Thanks for the help buddy! You have a great tutorial!
Good luck with everything!
This tutorial looks really straight forward I am really looking forward to installing ubuntu on my eee pc 1000.
I have one small issue that perhaps you can assist me with; I am running xandros and want to install unbuntu instead using only a usb drive (since an external cd drive for me is not an option). I cannot Launch UNetbootin-Ubuntu Eee since it doesn’t have a program that can execute it.
Also I have loaded the ubuntu iso disk image to my usb drive but the drive says its unbootable eventhough it is formatted correct. Can someone pls assist me??
Tried installing ubuntu eee pc on a 1000HA but i’m stucked at step 16. It doesn’t go beyond that. You’re guide has been a great help. I hope you can help me shed light on this one.
this is ubuntu remix for eee pc NOT (Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron)
WAST OF TIME
@h4×0r
No, actually, this is Ubuntu 8.04. The Eeebuntu (soon to be renamed) was updated after this tutorial, and included Netbook Remix in THAT version (they called it 8.04.1 (see this tutorial). If you can find an old version of Eeebuntu (8.04, the version this tutorial uses) it will come without Netbook Remix. Or, you can just uninstall Netbook Remix from the current version, and it will be “regular” 8.04 Hardy Heron.
Hi all.
I would like to know, i have a Eee-900 with linux, the version with 20gb.
How to put the drivers after installation of this version ?
- Wifi
- Webcam
- Micro / Sound Recorder
- Bluetooth
- HotKeys
Thanks
The link in step 5 doesn’t work. It’d be great if you could update. : )
@Grant -
Done!
