add this line:
options snd-hda-intel model=acer_wmi
to the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
This has now changed. Put the above line in /etc/modprobe.d/sound
C-50 Ontario processor is 64-bit, so we’ll use the 64 bit image: ubuntu-11.04-desktop-amd64.iso installed image onto USB stick using: ‘sudo usb-creator-gtk’ command make sure BIOS is configured to read from USB stick before HDD note: ubuntu kept hanging on me (mouse cursor/throbber frozen)… from posts on Net I suspect it is due to wireless driver solution: install with wired connection plugged in; this allowed me to do install no problem this link sounds relevant: http://fossplanet.com/f10/[bug-775034]-[new]-natty-freezes-due-acer-aspire-one-522-wireless-148584/ suspend and hibernate work right out of the box with this (tested both) clicking on Additional Drivers in top bar, it seems we are already using Broadcom STA wireless driver (hence could conflict with other one) now able to use wifi (w/o wired plugged in) using following: add in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf this line: “blacklist atl1c” “sudo update-initramfs -u” suspend still works outstanding issues: (non-proprietary) video driver has poor YouTube playback, etc. after resume (from Suspend?) the Ubuntu top and left bars stop updating visually (Ubuntu One compiz component; switch to “Ubuntu Classic” in GDM and all is well) attempting ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX gfx driver install… resume from suspend no longer working… can’t even ping the machine (but did not check earlier that I actually could) went back to non-proprietary video drivers

Under compiz window manager, you need an extra package, which is not installed by default in Ubuntu 11.04. I’ve set the keybinding through gnome settings, and that was not sufficient to have the fullscreen action work.
Problem: on resume from suspend, Ubuntu/GNOME presents password entry dialog, which is annoying.
Found a working solution here:

Namely:
As you’ve probably already done, uncheck:
“lock screen when screen saver is activated”
in the System->Preferences->Screen Saver menu. Type gconf-editor in a terminal. Under apps/gnome-power-manager/locks check:
“use_screensaver_settings”. If still asked for password, you can (also in gconf-editor) go to desktop/gnome/lockdown and check:
“disable_lock_screen”

Here’s how to get started:
Dear [Name of person]. If “Dear” sounds too formal to you and you know the person well, you can get away with “Hi”, as in “Hi Michelle!” Thank you for the [description of gift] [name of gift].Example: Thank you for the fuzzy brown scarf. At least one sentence about the item; something you did with it, a reason you like it, when you plan to use it. Ideally, make the sentence 2 parts, like the example below. This makes the note feel more sincere.Example: It matches many of my clothes and I know I’ll use it on my trip to Iceland. Tell the giver you appreciate the thought or time they put into it and the occasion for which the gift was given.Example: It was so thoughtful of you to think of me on my birthday. Mention something about the giver such as family members or something happening in their lives.Example: Best wishes to Tom and the kids. OR Have a great time in Maine next month. I look forward to hearing about it! Sign off. “Love” is fine for family members and close friends. For others, some choices are “Yours Truly”, “Regards”, or “Warm Regards”. Sign your name. Don’t make this an autograph scrawl; neaten it up so you they know it’s you.

I chose to install BullZip one. Ran into issue where upon printing I would get error about macros. The following post was useful:

Interesting post, seen on https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/cdngiadmnkhgemkimkhiilgffbjijcie:
You don’t need any 3rd pary extension to block flash anymore. To enable Chrome’s built in Flashblock type ‘about:flags’ into the address bar and hit enter. Scroll down to the botton and enable ‘Click to play’, then restart your browser. Now click the wrench menu > Options > Under the hood > Content setting > Plug-ins and select ‘Click to play’ from the right hand side. You can use the Exception button to whitelist specific domains.

However, it seems newest versions of the googlecl tool come pre-built. The only issue was I was missing MSVCRT71.dll file. This can be obtained for Windows 7 here:
