Few glitches I need to solve

Hello fellow crunchbangers,

I've got few problems with my crunchbang installation on my netbook (Acer d257).

1. When I start my netbook on battery, the screen's brightness in GRUB(2.0) is ok, but afterwards the screen's maximum brightness becomes low. The Fn keys are fuctioniong ok, since it's just about the maximum value. I've googled, that it could be a grub's issue so I've tried updating grub to 2.0, but the problem remains same.

Well the second problem is not that much of an issuie, but it bothers me, since I can't restart my netbook.
When I try to restart it, it just shut itself down, but it does not power on again. so I have to hold shutdown button for a while and then power it on again.
I've tried this, but it did not help http://askubuntu.com/questions/89015/ac … nt-restart

The thrird problem is about my Data HDD. It's formated as NTFS and File manager does not want to add the hdd, so I have to add it in command line. THat kinda sucks, because I have to do it every time I restart the netbook and that's not cool.

If anyone knows how to solve this pls halp.
thanks, Shomid

Re: Few glitches I need to solve

hi Shomid,

my guess would be that your first issue is driver-related..are you using the proprietary driver for your video card!? check out el_koraco's signature for AMD/ATI or the quick reference for nvidia...by the way, isn't there already some helpful post about that in the forum?

I can't help for the second, but the third should be just a matter of configuring your fstab, check this out...

Try this command in a terminal:

sudo shutdown -r now

If that works to restart, you can add it to the openbox menu and edit the sudoers file so you are allowed to run the command without a password.

For the screen brightness:

sudo apt-get install xbacklight

& this can be set with "xbacklight -set percent" for example:

xbacklight -set 70

(& add it to your desktop manager's autostart scripts)

For the NTFS partition:

sudo mkdir /ntfs

& add the following to /etc/fstab (replacing "sdx" with the correct partition):

/dev/sdx /ntfs ntfs defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46

Re: Few glitches I need to solve

After few days I am back with solutions!
So for anyone who has same problems as me on Acer d257 ....

problem 1:  just add to the bottom line of grub

acpi=vendor

problem 2: edit these lines in grub to:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet reboot=efi"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=”reboot=bios”

problem 3: disk-manager solved the problem

Re: Few glitches I need to solve

Anyway recently I have a new issue. The solution should be easy I believe.
I wan't able to google it tho.
The problem is that whenever I want to download a torrent from for ex. thepiratebay.org
I click teh download torrent button, but instead of opened transmission, a new google chrome window apears.

+ I can't delete files on my mounted ntfs windows partition from linux. It says: can't find bin's path or something like that.

If anyone knows, pls reply.
thanks in advance
