Is it available? I need it for my eeepc 901. I have found the 11.3 version but it requires python2.6 libs and 11.4 has python 2.7…
Hi
Haven’t had a chance to test the 11.4 version yet…
software.opensuse.org: Search Results
Thanks for that. Seems to be working fine, switches everything on and off, is stable and changes the power settings OK (at least it seems fine for as long as I can keep the desktop running properly with the broken intel driver in 11.4, which isn’t very long).
Hi
Good to hear, it doesn’t work on my eeePC 1000HE (it use too) but I’m using a different kernel module. Need to investigate more…
Now I know this is a very old thread… Have just installed 11.4 KDE on my Eeepc 900, which is driving me nuts with its permanently-on fan. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it doesn’t work (bouncing cursor, then nothing). Any suggestions?
Hi
I see there is a later version on launchpad (0.9.7.1), will have a look
at rebuilding probably tomorrow.

Thanks, much appreciated! It doesn’t require Gnome does it?
Hi
It requires gconf, so not sure what it may pull in…
Question, what eeepc kernel modules are you running?
lsmod |grep eee

That’s after installing the non-working version of eee-control.
Hi
OK, that’s a good sign… 
Can you also confirm that either /proc/acpi/asus
or /sys/devices/platform/eeepc exist?
If they do, as root user if you run the command;
/usr/bin/eee-control-daemon
Does it run?

The latter is there.
Yes, it appears so (no error message, and the daemon appears in the system monitor). But how do I access it? The fan’s still merrily blasting away.
Hi
Try running this then;
/usr/bin/eee-control-tray

You could also try adding the GRUB boot option;

This is what I get:
linux-7ysv:~ # /usr/bin/eee-control-tray
Traceback (most recent call last):

import pynotify
ImportError: No module named pynotify
Will try the GRUB option.
The GRUB option has no discernible effect.
Hi
Is python-notify installed?

It is now ;-). As is python-gconf which was also missing. I can now access the tray and switch on/off wifi etc, as well as select either “normal” or “performance”. So that’s good, many thanks for your help. Still having trouble with the fan though: it does switch itself off now, but only for a few seconds and then back on again. I used to have Ubuntu on this machine and there was some means of fan control but I have forgotten what it was. Thought it was in eee-control…
Hi
Is cpufrequtils installed, check that your cpu is set to ondemand, that
may help.

Just installed it but I don’t seem to be able to do anything with it. See the following outputs:
linux-7ysv:~ # modprobe acpi-cpufreq

and
linux-7ysv:~ # cpufreq-set -g ondemand
Error setting new values. Common errors:
- Do you have proper administration rights? (super-user?)
- Is the governor you requested available and modprobed?
- Trying to set an invalid policy?
- Trying to set a specific frequency, but userspace governor is not available,
for example because of hardware which cannot be set to a specific frequency
or because the userspace governor isn't loaded?
Hi
Try starting the service;
rccpufreq start
I’m also assuming the acpid service is running ok?
You get output from;
acpi -V
