Ubuntu 8.04 was released in April 2008. It mainly works out of the box upon installation.
If you're looking for instructions on how to install Ubuntu, try the separate wiki page for this: Installing Ubuntu 8.04
(Note: When you're editing certain system files, you're required to be the root user. In order to become the root user, you must hold down Alt+F2. Then type in gksudo gedit. After gksudo gedit, type the file you're editing. For example: gksudo gedit /etc/default/halt. Then click run. You can now edit and save system files. However, for each system file you want to edit, you must hold down Alt+F2 and type in gksudo gedit (and the location of the file) each time you want to edit a system file.)
Adam McDaniel (also a user from eeeusers.com) has made a custom eeepc-optimized kernel available via synaptic/apt-get. This will setup your Wifi, Microphone, and eeepc_acpi modules instantly along with a few more features.
Using this custom kernel eliminates the need to manually compile the extra hardware modules, and fixes some common problems experienced with the generic Ubuntu kernel. For more information, see array.org_eeepc_kernel wiki page, or http://www.array.org/ubuntu.
NiceeePC it's an automatization script written in Bash exclusively for the ASUS eeePC and Ubuntu GNU/Linux. Actually, it can fix almost every problem found in a standard installation of Ubuntu like ACPI support, Wifi, OSD keys, sound, bootup speed, etc. For more information visit: NiceeePC wiki page.
Wireless internet does not work on the Eee after installation. To update the drivers, open a terminal window (Applications>Accessories>Terminal) and enter the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install build-essential wget 'http://snapshots.madwifi.org/madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz' tar zxvf madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-current.tar.gz cd madwifi-hal-0.10.5.6-* make clean make sudo make install sudo reboot
System updates (specifically, new generic kernels) will reverse these changes; simply repeat the above to make your wifi work again.
Optionally, the Array.org EeePC Kernel ships with the ath_pci.ko madwifi wireless module pre-built.
[: add instructions for manually building the rt2860sta.ko module]
Optionally, the Array.org EeePC Kernel ships with the rt2860sta.ko wireless module pre-built.
Note, these steps are only necessary for the EeePC 901 and later. Ubuntu (Hardy Heron) support the ethernet card on the 900A and earlier, out of the box.
[: add instructions for manually building the atl1e.ko module]
Optionally, the Array.org EeePC Kernel ships with the atl1e.ko wireless module pre-built.
Problem: The network worked under Xandros, but after I installed Ubuntu and all the drivers, I cannot get a signal
Solution: Make sure the and LAN, WLAN options are enabled in the BIOS. (Asus actually shipped some EeePCs with these options disabled. Xandros actually ignored the setting!)
Problem: Ethernet interface stops working. The network adapter is picked up and I have enabled the restricted driver manager, but it just doesn't work, my router shows no link light when the eeePC is plugged in.
Solution: Unplug the eeePC and remove the battery, and then put the battery back in. Somehow this resets something in the eeePC and always gets the wired Ethernet to work again.
Upon installation, Ubuntu does not shut down the Eee properly. Shutting down your Eee will make the screen go entirely blank, but does not cut the power, and you will have to hold the power button, for 5 seconds, to fully shut it down.
Add the following line:
rmmod snd-hda-intel
to the end of the /etc/default/halt script in order to make the Eee shutdown completely.
options snd_hda_intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=Y
*In my case I upgraded my EeePC 900 BIOS from 0601 to 0802 using updatebios. Earlier versions than 0802 might be okay, but probably not versions earlier than 0601. YMMV
You may find that Firefox regularly hangs or freezes. There's a way of fixing this, for now…
Choose Edit>Preferences>Security and turn *off* the attack and forgery warnings. That'll eliminate the issue entirely.
The script found at http://www.x2on.de/eeepc/ubuntueeetweak.sh works great and will take care of most of the tasks listed in the sections below, and you can easily edit the script to remove the changes you don't want to make. The script enables the following changes:
(Thanks to http://www.x2on.de!!!!)
There is another script at http://eee.ricey.co.uk/files/eee/RiceeeyTweak.sh, which includes the above script, and adds the following tasks:
I have not used this script, and cannot speak to it's effectiveness and/or faults
(Thanks to http://eee.ricey.co.uk!!!)
Note: based on actual power measurements, there seems to be little reason to bother with frequency scaling. See hardware_power_consumption. Read on if you want to try anyway.
At installation, Ubuntu will not perform processor scaling (which Xandros doesn't, incidentally). If you leave your computer on AC power all day, this is just fine; but if you don't, you may notice your machine's battery does not last anywhere near as long. It may also get much hotter.
Luckily, you can fix this: so that your processor runs much slower when you're just typing (and thus saves your battery life); this tweak also increases the processor speed when you're using Ubuntu for something more processor-heavy.
First, right click the far-left of the panel at the top of the screen, and choose "Add to panel". Type 'scaling' into the search box, and add the CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor
. You'll get an error that frequency scaling isn't enabled in your hardware (accept it), and it'll show that your processor is running at 630MHz.
Then, go into your terminal and type the following:
sudo apt-get remove powernowd sudo apt-get install cpufrequtils sysfsutils sudo modprobe p4_clockmod
You should spot at this point that your processor has slowed down. Hurray! You've just enabled processor scaling. We need to make this stick now, so you need to pop into a config file:
sudo nano /etc/sysfs.conf
…and add the following line:
devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor = ondemand
…then, edit a different config file:
sudo nano /etc/modules
…and add these two lines:
p4_clockmod cpufreq_ondemand
…create files for ACPI, so that it goes in full power mode as soon as you put on AC power:
sudo echo > /etc/acpi/ac.d/90-cpufreq.sh '#!/bin/sh' sudo echo >> /etc/acpi/ac.d/90-cpufreq.sh '/usr/bin/cpufreq-selector -g performance' sudo echo > /etc/acpi/battery.d/90-cpufreq.sh '#!/bin/sh' sudo echo >> /etc/acpi/battery.d/90-cpufreq.sh '/usr/bin/cpufreq-selector -g ondemand' sudo chmod +x /etc/acpi/ac.d/90-cpufreq.sh sudo chmod +x /etc/acpi/battery.d/90-cpufreq.sh
…finally, reboot, just to make sure you've done the trick, using
sudo reboot
Your processor speed applet should still say it's running very slowly (125MHz on this machine), but doing anything CPU-intensive will kick it back up to full speed as required. You may notice the machine become a less responsive - it can take a few seconds for it to decide to increase the clock frequency.
You can change the minimum speed the governor will use by adding the following line to /etc/sysfs.conf:
devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq = 337000
This will make the governor a little less effective for a little more initial speed.
Note: with p4_clockmod loaded, the EEEPC will claim a top speed of 900MHz - a full 33% faster than it was doing. Unfortunately that's not true - benchmarks will report the same performace with and without the module, so it must still be limited to 630 Mhz. This is described in more detail elsewhere on the wiki - including EEE-specific kernel module(s) which may allow you to achieve 900Mhz.
[TODO: add linkies]
*I found that the processor scaling as enabled above actually slows down my Eee (4GB Surf 701 w/2GB ram) - the main menu is much slower to pop up and you can see weird artifacts in the graphic as the icons in the main menu are rendered. If you want to speed up your processor, I'd recommend searching the forums for the info on how to do this by flashing to a special version of the bios that enables you to enable performance mode (900Mhz). If I recall, after you enable 900Mhz, you can then flash to any other, newer, more stable bios, and the change in processor speed will remain, even after the new bios is installed.
Non-root users can't adjust the CPU speed with the speed applet, you can take the security risk of providing the speed applet with root capabilities by doing
sudo chmod +s /usr/bin/cpufreq-selector
… and now you left click with your mouse on speed applet and change the values as your desire.
Note: According to the author, this is only for the eeepc 900A, 901 and 1000!
Just do as described on forum: http://forum.eeeuser.com/viewtopic.php?pid=354550#p354550 But, author has changed the address of the script, now it's address is:
You'll got wokling wi-fi, sound, screen, process manager hotkeys, all with OSD.
As described in his post, you can change the commands, binded to 4 top keys (above the keybord). In the start of /etc/acpi/eeepc-actions.sh you can see this:
so, you can change it to what you want. In the end of the script we can see:
#su $user -c $command1 &
If you de-comment this line (removing #), your command will be executed. BTW, there's no need to rerun acpi-daemon after changes. And, of course, you can bind multiple actions on one hotkey.
To get proper support for hotkeys, turning off the camera, etc. you need the eeepc-acpi module.
Install it by:
sudo apt-get install module-assistant eeepc-acpi-source sudo m-a a-i eeepc-acpi sudo sh -c 'echo eeepc-acpi >> /etc/modules'
This installs the source files for the module and builds it for your running kernel.
You have to repeat the m-a a-i eeepc-acpi
part after you upgrade your kernel (as by using apt-get dist-upgrade)
Make sure the CAMERA option is enabled in the BIOS. (Asus actually shipped some EeePCs with this option disabled. Xandros actually ignored the setting!)
Optionally, the Array.org EeePC Kernel ships with the eeepc-acpi.ko module pre-built.
There have been a number of reports of long boot-up times that appear to trace back to a problem in the clocksource detection. To test, interrupt grub by pressing escape while it's counting down. Hit 'e' to edit the default boot option, then arrow down to the kernel line and hit 'e' again. At the end of the line (after the "quiet" and "splash" options), append:
Hit enter, then hit 'b' to continue booting. Boot time could be 40+ seconds faster (for SSD installations).
To make this change permanent, after booting into Ubuntu, edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst (you'll need root access, so sudo it). Find the following line:
# defoptions=quiet splash
Edit it to read as follows:
# defoptions=quiet splash clocksource=hpet
(Note: defoptions only changes the kernel options for the default boot option, and leaves the others alone. If you want to make the change for all options, including the recovery mode, use kopt instead, which is located a few sections above defoptions.)
Save the menu.lst file and exit, then from the terminal, run
sudo update-grub
Reboot, and your new option should take effect.
Important: DO NOT do this step if you have an EeePC 900 or later! If you do, it might temporarially break your sound recording/playback. Remove it and reboot!
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-dig
to /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel
(create this file, if it doesn't exist)
The internal microphone on these devices are controlled by the ALC662 (900) and ALC269 (901 and later) chipsets. Support was added for the 900-series in Alsa v1.0.17, and the 1000 & 1000H in v1.0.18 (un-released as of 2008-09-25). Ubuntu Hardy ships with Alsa v1.0.16.
It is possible to download v1.0.18rc3 to compile and install it manually, but the specific code that makes these devices work has been back-ported and is available in the Array.org EeePC Kernel.
Once you reboot with your appropriate fix, your internal microphone may need some adjustment. You can use the gnome-volume-control program, or open a terminal and run these commands:
amixer "Input Source" "Front Mic" amixer "Capture" "80%" "cap" "unmute" amixer "Front Mic Boost" "30%" "unmute" amixer "Front Mic" "100%" "mute"
Note, that last command, "Front Mic" must be muted as this refers to the output channel. Unmuting this will result in some pretty nasty feedback!
For some reason the sound doesn't always come back after resuming on EeePc 90x hardware. Alsa needs to be instructed to specifically suspend and resume its own modules before the OS does.
(Note: this doesn't appear to be a problem under EeePc 70x hardware, or for Gutsy, however I cannot confirm :)
Warning: After applying this hack you may see a warning message after resuming that says the gnome-mixer has quit unexpectedly. Just click the reload button each time, or hit cancel to remove the applet. Currently there is no work-around to this problem.
Note: This may not be a 100% solution. After the resuming, the sound device tests work (System –> Preferences –> Sound), audio on applications like Skype work, but the Gnome 'System Sounds' still do not work after resuming even after reloading the mixer (e.g. the 'logout' sound no longer plays). If you log out and log back in again (no reboot needed), the 'System Sounds' do come back, so perhaps some other Gnome item also needs to be restarted.
Step 1: Modify /etc/default/alsa
and change "force_unload_modules_before_suspend" to:
Step 2: Create /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/45sound
#!/bin/bash if [ ! -x /sbin/alsa ]; then exit 0; fi case "$1" in hibernate|suspend) /sbin/alsa suspend ;; thaw|resume) /sbin/alsa resume ;; *) ;; esac exit $?
Step 3: Make /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/45sound
$ sudo chmod +x /usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/45sound
Note: This section is obsolete for 90x series.
This tweaks dosn't work for me (but that's not the point). This tweaks will not bring you any kind of On Screen Display. But if you simply install this eee-osd-package you'll get everything to work. Every LED, any special key (except the LED/LCD: fn+f5) will work. And you get a nice On Screen Display. This package is worked around the original progemm from Xandros, as they released their source. There is a small bug I recognized, don't press the buttons not as quickly as you can, your OS will stumble.
However Adam is working the team from Ubuntu-Eee on a similar package. The package is still in development, but eventually will be released on the array.org repository as eeepc-config, but will also handle several other manual tweaks descried on this page.
There can be issues with the screen resolution with Hardy with 640×480 being the only display mode
sudo apt-get install 915resolution
Will fix this and allow 800×480 to be selected.
Alternatively, make sure you have installed and are using the new mode-setting intel driver, known as "intel". The package names for the drivers are prefixed with "xserver-xorg-video-".
Explanation: The old "i810" driver relies on the BIOS for mode-setting, requiring 915resolution to patch the BIOS image in-memory and add missing modes.
Note: If one installed on a 900, in safe video-mode, the X11 driver is set to Vesa by default, giving only 640×480 and 800×600 resolutions. Editing "vesa" to "intel" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf will fix the problem:
Section "Device" Identifier "Configured Video Device" Driver "intel" EndSection
To be clear: 915resolution is not needed if you can successfully change the driver from "i810" to "intel".
This hack is a way to set any brightness value supported. The default max value is ~50% of eee display panel documented brightness. (Text copied from http://www.ubuntu-eee.com/index.php5?title=How_to:_Ultra_Bright_LCD)
sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 f4.b=ff
Don't know if it's a safe hack though….
The ability to move windows around on the Eee's small screen to view sections of the window that won't fit on the screen is a crucial function. This is accomplished by holding the <Alt> key while left clicking and dragging a window on the desktop.
However, with a new installation of Hardy, Compiz is, by default, enabled, and will not allow windows to be moved beyond the top of the desktop (screen). There are two options to remedy this problem: disable Compiz, or fix Compiz.
To fix this issue in Compiz, simply open a terminal and enter the following command:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/compiz/plugins/move/allscreens/options/constrain_y --type bool 0
Note: This fix will not work if you issue the above command as a root user (by placing sudo at the beginning of the above command).
This occurs because the asus-acpi module sends hotkey events when connecting to AC power with the wrong code (for the Eee; it's surely the right one on other Asus laptops).
Comment out all lines in /etc/acpi/events/asus-mail
(by prepending a #
), and restart acpid
with sudo /etc/init.d/acpid restart
For some reason this seems to be more difficult to do than it should be, probably since it requires both devices to be configured correctly.
you need to build the rndis driver from svn
svn co https://synce.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/synce/trunk/usb-rndis-lite cd usb-rndis-lite/ make sudo ./clean.sh sudo make install
sudo nano /etc/networking/interfaces
# USB xda-universal tethering auto rndis0 iface rndis0 inet dhcp
I used an xda universal and configured an internet connection on the phone (details from your provider. I started internet connection sharing on the phone which didn't seem to be connecting so i started internet explorer and made sure the connection was active.
in a terminal i typed
sudo dhclient rndis0
which got me an ip address of 169.254.2.2 the phone took 169.254.2.1 I gave the IP of the phone as an additional dns server in networking. maybe this isn't necessary.
hmm this is strange i added a network monitor to the top bar for rndis0 it says my ip is 192.168.0.102 and broadcast ip 192.168.0.255 and its ethernet.
and then connected with firefox there was a little messing connecting and disconnecting the usb cable but it now works, the connection here is quite slow however its a g signal (3 bars) not 3g so i guess equivalent to dial up. T-mobile do data for £1 a day or £7.50 a month. cheaper than an internet cafe.
hope this helps a little
incidentally virtualbox manages to use the connection too.
(solution provided by knox)
The Bug #218434 only affect systems running their root filesystem from an external device - such as the eeePC's SD-card reader. Therefore i have adapted one of the given workarounds by making use of the hal policy mechanism:
$ sudo mousepad /etc/hal/fdi/policy/removable_root_fix.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="volume.mount_point" string="/"> <merge key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" type="bool">false</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
$ sudo invoke-rc.d hal restart
It perfectly resolves the issue for me.
Update: the gnome-keyring package has been updated and the above hack is no longer needed.
You may get a error when the system attempts to automount your MMC/SD card. (Like it did with my 16GB Card)
To fix this,
Run the following command:
sudo mkdir /media/MMCSD
Open '/etc/fstab' with a text editor.
Make the line that includes '/dev/sdb1' read the following:
/dev/sdb1 /media/MMCSD auto user,auto,exec,rw 0 0
Eject, and re-insert the card, and it will automount.
Automount option is courtesy of William Ruckman (http://ruckman.net)
(Note: Documentation based on http://news.softpedia.com/news/Encrypted-Ubuntu-7-04-61312.shtml with help from http://de.gentoo-wiki.com/Root-Partition_mit_dm-crypt_&_cryptsetup_verschl%C3%BCsseln_-_Die_schnelle_Version . The code is adjusted to work with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) with kernel 2.6.24-19-generic)
Assuming you have the following configuration:
: main root parition
: boot partition (40 MB)
(I don't have a swap partition, since I have 2 GB RAM and this does not goes too well with the 4 GB HD on my 701)
You most likely have installed Ubuntu using a bootable USB stick (or a CD-ROM, if you have). Boot from that media again, so that you see the desktop. When everyting has loaded, open up a terminal (Applications → Accessories → Terminal) and become root by typing:
sudo su
You will be permanently root from now on (that means you will not have to type sudo anymore, until you exit this session).
Let's prepare the system for the encryption process by loading some necessary modules into the kernel. Type, or copy / paste the following lines in the terminal window:
modprobe aes_i586 modprobe dm-crypt modprobe dm-mod modprobe sha256_generic
Install the cryptsetup package:
apt-get install cryptsetup
Create mountpoints for the current file systems and mount them:
cd /mnt mkdir boot root mount /dev/sda1 root mount /dev/sda2 boot
And now backup the data:
cd /mnt/root tar cjvf /media/disk/root.tar.bz2 . cd ..
This last code will output a lot of text (the files that are being copied), so wait until it stops. It takes about 20 minutes (depending on the number of files). Note if you have the archive on a FAT partition: The file may not be larger than 2 GB there. If you use compression (j option) and have a freshly installed Ubuntu, this should work.
Good, now that the backup has finished, umount the drive with:
umount root
And encrypt the filesystem with the following command:
cryptsetup -c aes-xts-plain -y -s 320 luksFormat /dev/sda1
WARNING: All the data will be permanently erased!
Type YES when asked, and enter a strong password (twice). Note: yes must be all in uppercase (This is bold, because I did not realize this for several hours. If not, the you just get the message "Command failed.") Then type:
cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda1 root mkfs.ext2 /dev/mapper/root mount /dev/mapper/root root
Now let's copy back the data from the temporary folder to the newly created encrypted root partition:
cd root tar xjvf /media/disk/root.tar.bz2
Same as above, it will output a lot of text, so wait until it finishes and remove the temporary folder:
rm /media/disk/root.tar.bz2 cd ..
The filesystem is encrypted now, but it will not work until you do some final adjustments. Type, or copy / paste the following lines:
mkdir root/boot mount /dev/sda2 root/boot mount -o bind /dev root/dev chroot root
At this moment, you are "virtually" in your root partition, and you can make modifications to it. Let's begin by installing the cryptsetup software:
apt-get update apt-get install cryptsetup
Then let's add the necessary kernel modules to the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file, so that they can be loaded at boot time (see http://blog.rootserverexperiment.de/2008/04/29/eeepc-ubuntu-804-initramfs-tuning/ to get an even slimmer initramfs):
nano etc/initramfs-tools/modules
And add the following lines to the end of the file:
aes_i586 dm-crypt dm-mod sha256_generic
Hit CTRL+O to and then ENTER to save the file. Hit CTRL+X to close the nano editor.
You must adjust the /etc/fstab file to mount the correct encrypted root partition:
nano etc/fstab
And change the line that looks like this (the UUID is just an example… yours will be different):
# /dev/sda3 UUID=4565t675-6c67-56hg-hg7j-67g5jk00b562 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
To look like this one:
/dev/mapper/root / ext2 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
So basically, you just replace (# /dev/sda3 UUID=4565t675-6c67-56hg-hg7j-67g5jk00b562) with (/dev/mapper/root).
Hit CTRL+O and then ENTER to save the file. Hit CTRL+X to close the nano editor.
Now you must edit the /etc/crypttab file:
nano etc/crypttab
And add the following line at the end of the file:
root /dev/sda1 none luks,retry=1,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256
Hit CTRL+O and then ENTER to save the file. Hit CTRL+X to close the nano editor.
And now you have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst file:
nano boot/grub/menu.lst
Search the line that looks like this (the UUID is just an example… yours will be different):
# kopt=root= UUID=4565t675-6c67-56hg-hg7j-67g5jk00b562 ro
And change it to look like this:
# kopt=root=/dev/mapper/root ro
Hit CTRL+O and then ENTER to save the file. Hit CTRL+X to close the nano editor.
Do some Fixes:
cp /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/cryptroot cp /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot
Update GRUB with the following command:
grub-install --recheck hd0,1 update-grub grub-install hd0
And check the /boot/grub/menu.lst file to see if the entries changed like this:
title Ubuntu 8.04, kernel 2.6.24-19-generic root (hd0,1) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.24-19-generic root=/dev/mapper/root ro quiet splash clocksource=hpet initrd /initrd.img-2.6.24-19-generic quiet savedefault
Make sure that you have root=/dev/mapper/root option. If so, then you can update initramfs with the following command:
update-initramfs -u All
Exit the chrooted environment and reboot the system with:
exit reboot
When the system starts, you will see the Ubuntu boot splash, which will disappear after a few seconds and all you'll be able to see is a blinking line on the top left side of your monitor. Now you should type the password you've setup when you encrypted the filesystem and hit ENTER. You will notice that (if you typed the password correctly), the system continues to boot. That's it folks, your whole Ubuntu 7.04 is now fully encrypted!
By compressing the /usr folder you can gain about 1 GB hd space. The basic idea is to compress the folder using squashfs
. However, squashfs is read only. So we need to put an overlay file system like unionfs
on top of it, to keep up with the changes.
A very good description how to set up squashfs and unionfs is here: http://po-ru.com/diary/linux-liposuction-or-xubuntu-in-under-a-gig-on-the-eee-pc/
Questions: How to recompress? Is it better / What is the advantage of compressing the whole file system? Is cloop + aufs better (if so: what are the advantages)?
Note: Compressed /usr folder goes well with encrypted root partition (see above; the compressed image is part of the root file system and therefore encrypted as well).
There is still a problem when home is mounted on an SD card with sleep and hibernation. Essentially the EEE forgets where /home is as it disconnects the card when it goes to sleep and fails to reconnect it when it awakens. Apparently it can be fixed if USB_Persist is enabled in the kernel. Step by Step instructions are needed for most users (including me). /var could be moved to an SD card to reduce writes to the SSD and make some space on the ssd drive.
The problem still with generic kernel. However, timauton's patch has been installed on the array.org repository's kernel version 2.6.24-20-eeepc, as of 16 jul 2008.
At first glance compiz doesn't appear to work as it did in Xubuntu 7.10 after a dist-upgrade to 8.04 and application of RiceeeyTweak.sh mentioned at the top of the page. With the same xorg.conf settings using either the intel or i810 driver, executing the command compiz –replace
results in Checking for Xgl: not present and other errors. Attempts to fix this by installing the following packages simply resulted in screen artifacts and freezing of X. $ sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl libglitz-glx1 libglitz1
To recover simply <CTR><ALT><F1> and remove those packages. Oddly enough 915resolution appears to still work and glxgears returns > 700 FPS so graphics acceleration appears to be working fine. I guess I'll just live without compiz as it was mostly used as a quick method for showing off the graphics.
*With a clean installation of Ubuntu 8.04, Hardy Heron, out of the box, on a 4GB Surf 701 with 2GB ram, Hardy recognizes and displays the correct resolution (800×480) on the Eee, even though this resolution is not listed in the display settings. Also, on this clean install, Compiz is working great, after performing the small fix mentioned above re: moving windows above the top of the desktop by holding <Alt> while left-click dragging the window. rio sosh bouygues rio sosh code rio rio b and you numero rio

I recently received a letter from a grandmother who told me that her 14-year-old grandson is afraid of his single mother. When told this by her ex-husband, who was concerned, Mom said, "He'd better be!"
Mind you, the grandmother was not concerned in the least. She celebrated the fact, proudly reporting that her grandson is well-mannered, respectful, does well in school, performs chores willingly.
I was afraid of my mother (who was single for most of the first seven years of my life).
That fear, I maintain, is the beginning of respect for women, something obviously lacking in all too many of today's young "men." (Even worse, too many young women don't seem to care.)
But let me be clear on this. My mother never yelled, spanked or even threatened to spank. In other words, I was not terrified of my mother. But I was afraid of her.
The question is, why? The answer is that she conducted herself as if she was in complete control at all times. She acted like exercising authority over me was the most natural thing she'd ever done.
She made it clear that she was not there to be my friend, playmate, go-fer or fixer.
She expected me to entertain myself, do for myself and fix my own problems (although she did fix those I was incapable of fixing).
She was not, as are all too many of today's moms (and dads), a vending machine to be taken for granted and disrespected when it doesn't produce on demand.
Mom was a part-time job for my mother.
"John Rosemond," she sometimes said, "you don't need a mother right now and I'm not going to be one. Now, run along or I'll put you to work around here."
And I ran along. And I was better off, although I rarely realized it.
A child does not possess the ability to comprehend such a natural display of power. Therefore, the child is "afraid." I use the term to refer to a sense of respectful awe.
Sometimes the child complains that this parent is "mean." By that he means that he realizes the parent means exactly what she says.
That's one of the greatest gifts a parent can give a child, especially when it's a woman giving it to a young man.

Analyst: Apple grabs huge chunk of phone profits
Apple turns a significantly bigger profit from each smartphone it sells than do handset makers in general, giving the company a huge chunk of the overall market's profits, according to an analyst's assessment.
Apple analyst T. Michael Walkley of investment firm Canaccord Genuity said in a note to investors this week that Apple sees a gross margin of 50 percent and operating margins of around 30 percent on its iPhone. That's within an industry where most handset makers struggle to turn a profit, or reach operating margins of even 10 percent.
As a result, he said, Apple … Read more

Why ads?While the 2012 Chrysler 200's Sebring roots are still evident in its profile, it's a new experience from the driver's seat. The front-wheel drive sedan's strong 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 nearly matches the efficiency of the entry 2.4-liter 4-cylinder, handling is crisp, and the cabin offers a premium feel. After such a drastic transformation for 2011, little is changed for 2012.
Admittedly somewhat bland on the outside, the 2014 Chrysler 200 offers an impressive interior of quality materials and elegant style that looks entirely appropriate for a more expensive sedan. The suspension delivers a comfortable ride over irregular pavement, secure highway stability, and handling that, if not in the realm of sports cars, is still responsive. In addition to the very nice interior and competent road manners, the Chrysler 200 offers the availability of Chrysler's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, which is matched with a 6-speed automatic transmission. The Chrysler 200's shortcomings are in rear-seat comfort, where it's a little cramped, and trunk capacity, which is on the smallish side. Pluses include an attractively affordable pricing structure and the availability of a retractable-hardtop convertible.
Why ads?

If it was measured in sheer quantity, the indie and art titles would win this coming weekend hands down — at least locally. There are three of them — and something else harder to quantify — up against one mainstream film. By rights, it ought to be a blood bath. And it will be, but with that solo juggernaut that is The Hunger Games the easy victor.
But just in case you aren't hungry for these particular games, there are some options this weekend. There are four of them — and at least two of them are actually good. All four are reviewed in this week's paper — three by me and one by Justin Souther. By his reckonging I got two of the good ones — the Oscar-nominated Chico & Rita (opening at The Carolina) and Thin Ice (opening at the Fine Arts). He got the documentary Crazy Horse (opening at The Carolina), which, by the way, is about the classy strip joint in Paris, not the Native American gentleman — and please note the trailer inevitably has nudity in it. Of course, I ended up with the faith-based film October Baby (opening somewhere I'm assured by the distributor), which by and large I could have done without. You can, of course, read about all of these in greater depth in the paper.
And then there's The Hunger Games.
Even if either of us had seen The Hunger Games (and we haven't) we wouldn't be able to talk about it because like everything else about the marketing of this has been as skillfuly manipulated as if it was brain surgery (and in some ways, maybe it is). Only the trades, the British papers, and some "select" reviewers (in other words, reviewers who will gush, I think) have been allowed to speak about what they saw — until Friday. This is very much in keeping with the whole marketing campaign — a carefully orchestrated online approach that was designed to convince its target audience that wanting to see the movie was all their idea and not the studio's. Lionsgate has been almost embarassingly upfront about how this worked — and about the fact that it's a movie that's built around children killing children.
I have to admit that prior to the film being shot here, I'd never even heard of The Hunger Games (I don't spend enough time hanging out in YA section of bookstores, I guess). Even then, it was just a title — until it was a trailer. Then it was a title and a trailer. I still haven't rushed right out and bought the book, and, no, I'm not braving a midnight show. Friday morning is soon enough for me. But I will be there then.
Most theaters seem to have a midnight (or 12:01) showing on Thursday night. In fact, The Carolina even has a pre-show party in the Cinema Lounge starting at 10 p.m. (admission to the party only is $2 or five canned goods for the MANNA Food Bank).
The only thing from the art/indie side of the ledger is Tim & Eric's Billion Dollar Movie. I can't imagine why.
Special Screenings
This week's Thursday Horror Picture Show is Larry Cohen's exploitation classic Q (The Winged Serpent) (1982) on Thursday, March 22, at 8 p.m. in the Cinema Lounge at The Carolina. The folks at World Cinema are screening part one of Bela Tarr's Satantango (1994) at 8 p.m. on Friday, March 23, in the Railroad Library in the Phil Mechanic Building. David Lean's film of Noel Coward's Brief Encounter (1945) is the title this week at the Hendersonville Film Society at 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 25, in the Smoky Mountain Theater at Lake Pointe Landing in Hendersonville. The Asheville Film Society will be showing Warner Oland in H. Bruce Humberstone's Charlie Chan at the Race Track (1936) at 8 p.m. on Tuesday, March 27, in the Cinema Lounge at The Carolina. More on all films in this week's Xpress with expanded coverage in the online edition.
On DVD
I suppose the big news this week is supposed to be The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, but I don't mind saying that I'm much keener on the appearance of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Carnage. Also up are The Muppets and The Sitter, neither of which I've seen — and Hop, which to my everlasting regret I did see. Of more note than all of these is the fact that Ken Russell's The Music Lovers is appearing on DVD — well, manufactured-on-demand DVD-R — for the first time in this U.S. The same is also true of Richard Lester's little seen first feature under its U.S. title Ring-a-Ding Rhythm (UK title: It's Trad, Dad) — except this is the first time it's ever been on DVD of any kind anywhere.
Noteworthy TV Screenings
Buried in the middle of the night — like 2:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. — there's a double feature on TCM of Richard Lester's The Knack...And How to Get It (1965) and Petulia (1968) on either Monday, March 26, (if you're on TV Guide time) or Tuesday, March 27 (if you're on normal time).

Even though they're showing expired, refresh the page and they're still applied.
The speakers are in-stock, but the -$17.99 is no longer being applied. (Basically the speaker/earbud deals are dead--and without them you lose the -$5.40 off the headset. You can still get the dongle 1/2 price with the headset though.) |
I refreshed the page after it said the code was expired, that applied the discount but it is different than the OP:

Got my bundle today, everything works great. The usb soundbar is a HUGE improvement over the internal speakers on my netbook. HUGE. The USB BT adapter works great on my Win7 X64 machine. Good drivers. Paired with the BT headset no probs. Audio quality is okay through the headset. Not as good as my Razer CARCHARIAS, but I wasn't expecting it to be. Plan on using the headset with my phone when im on the go.
Three products that I didn't NEED, but I will find uses. Couldn't turn it down for the price! Better than expected. |
got my speaker and headphones too, USB Soundbar is AWESOME for it's size/power output. this is great for travel usage and even like a small-gathering where you dont want to hook up speakers that piss off the neighbors. The reviews on Amazon are definitely justified.
I have trouble with the trebles. They become distorted when music gets noisy. Has anyone notice that or did I get a lemon? –• • •••– • –•– –– •• –• –••

I tried running different music types and it really affects how it sounds so I'd say try playing different types of music to see if its still the same Last edited by knowngni; 10-06-2012 at 08:51 PM.. |
yeah, im playing these on minimum and I'm okay with them compared to the standard laptop speakers. At full blast, it definitely gets distorted and unpleasant. But I wouldn't treat these speakers as a replacement for computer speakers whatsoever lol They're good for improved volume but not for anything like a party
Now that I've finished messing with the sound bar and tried the bluetooth headset. Its a bit irritating to wear. Its not comfortable or uncomfortable by any means. Just right in the middle of not good and not bad. I kinda wish the plastic used for the part that makes the earloop and the head band was a softter but still pliable and firm plastic. Heck hard rubber would have been nice. The plastic is just too ridged and doesnt comform to the shape of your head so it does bother me a bit and irritates my ear.
Got my BT headsets today and the damn thing wont connect to my Iphone 3gs. The phone goes into this endless searching mode and never discovered these eventhough they were both sitting on the table 2" away with the red and blue alternating lights on the BT speakers. will have to return this. Bummer
I give out 5 reps at random first thursday of every month

Boat Description
The J/108 offers everything one could want in a shoal water capable, 35' performance cruising yacht - a full cruising interior, standing headroom, simplified sail handling, large cockpit, and legendary J performance. The J/108 opens up a new world for sailors who previously thought that sea-kindly, high performing yachts were only possible in deep draft configurations. With only 3.9' (1.19m) draft with board up, the J/108 draws less than a J/24 and can take you many more places in style and comfort.J/108 builds on the success of the award winning J/95 and has evolved from the combined experience and knowledge of the J network of dealers, builders and nearly 370 J/109 owners who have short-handed, cruised, and raced their boats around the globe. The J/109 has been one of the most successful performance cruiser-racers in the world. Using the sea-kindly hull shape of her predecessor, J/108 benefits from recent developments in keel and rudder design, simplified handling systems, and the knowledge-base of the J/95.While the concept of "shoal draft performance" may seem ambitious, the delicate balance of hull design, windward performance, off-the-wind speed, and cruising comfort are achievable in a shoal-draft sailboat. The first of J's "Shoal Performance" designs, the J/95, has been widely acclaimed by knowledgeable yachting magazine experts as a "breakthrough" in shoal-draft performance. The J/95 was the sailing industry's first "Triple Crown" Winner-- garnering SAIL Magazine's "Performance" Boat Award, SAILING WORLD Magazine's "Performance" Boat Award and CRUISING WORLD Magazine's "Day Sailing" Boat Award. |

Speakers Oppose Planned Voter Registration Rules
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A rule proposed by Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz that would establish a process for removing voters from registration rolls if they can't prove citizenship drew heavy criticism Thursday from around the state at a public hearing.
"As a veteran this is not what those of us who went to Vietnam fought for," said Arthur Heyderman, of Bettendorf. "It is not what my brothers and sisters died for." Heyderman echoed the belief of many speakers that Schultz should work to encourage more voters rather than discourage some. Many said Schultz, a Republican, is motivated by politics to limit the minority vote and hasn't shown voter fraud is a problem in Iowa. Ana Mancebo, who moved to the United States from Nicaragua and is a naturalized citizen working in Des Moines, said noncitizens living in fear of deportation will not risk getting thrown out of the country to vote. "We do not come here to commit voter fraud," she said. "It's a nonexistent problem. It's a problem you invented and now you want to make it our problem. Put an end to this witch hunt for voter fraud." Most of 40 speakers asked Schultz to drop the rule. Janet Weaver, of Iowa City, said the rule "takes a racist approach with the ultimate goal of keeping Hispanics from voting." "I am speaking as an immigrant and I urge Secretary of State Schultz to stop this nonsense," said Maria Rundquist, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Mexico, who lives in Sioux City. "Let's live in harmony and peace." The hearing was conducted from Des Moines over the Iowa Communications Network, a state-owned closed circuit video system that allowed participants from more than a dozen locations. The rule Schultz has proposed challenges the right to vote of individuals who are listed on the state Department of Transportation database as noncitizens. Schultz also is working with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to access its Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program, which is used to verify immigration status. Schultz hopes to also use that program to confirm whether registered voters are legal U.S. citizens. The rule allows Schultz's office to mail a letter to anyone on voter rolls who shows up as a noncitizen on those lists. It gives them 30 days to file a challenge. A second notice would be sent with another 30-day response period if there is no answer to the first. Those receiving letters requesting information on their citizenship would also be allowed to ask for as much time as needed to produce documents to prove citizenship, said Chad Olsen, a spokesman for Schultz. American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa lawyer Rita Bettis said those lists are outdated and inaccurate and would result in legal voters being harassed and perhaps discouraged from voting. She argued that state law does not give Schultz the legal authority to make such a drastic change in election enforcement. Schultz, who did not attend the hearing, said Wednesday in an interview there's plenty of precedence for secretaries of state implementing rules, so he feels he's on solid ground by pushing such changes himself. He has no plans to stop and said his check of a DOT database showed 3,000 people listed as noncitizens whose names also appeared on voter registration rolls. "I have to do something. I can't just sit back and do nothing when we know people are taking advantage of the system," he said. He said his goal is to find a balance between having an election system with integrity and ensuring voter rights. The rule will be reviewed by the Legislature's Administrative Rules Review Committee on Wednesday. It will move forward unless two-thirds of the committee objects or objections are filed by Attorney General Tom Miller or Gov. Terry Branstad. The earliest the rule could become effective is March 13. Schultz has made fighting voter fraud a priority since taking office in 2011. He also has pushed for a law that would require voters to show photo identification to vote. He is paying an Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation agent to look into voter fraud cases and file charges against those suspected of voting without legal citizenship.

They get along really well. And when they don't get along, it's even better, because it's so entertaining."

John & Michele in the Morning
After 15 years, we're down to the last week. July 12, 2013 will be the last show for John & Michele in the Morning. There's nothing scandalous to report...sorry!
John will continue his reign as Springfield's morning show king, but he'll just be doing it with someone new.
Michele is moving on to a new phase of her career in the radio business. She'll still be in Springfield and still with Neuhoff Media, however instead of being on the air she's going to be focusing on all things digital. It's been a great 15 years, and John & Michele plan to spend this last week reminiscing with guests and playing some of the best moments of the past.
Michele would LOVE to hear from you this week. Write on the

Blake and Dilu grew up in the same neighbourhood, were inspired by the same music and eventually they chose the same careers. It is small wonder then that to these two brilliant DJs who make up Selectro, music is the very essence of their lives and uncountable passion. The best friends' love for music dates back to their time in school. While Blake has been playing instruments like the guitar, piano and drums from a very young age, Dilu started off by practising with his father – also a very popular DJ back in the 90s. Their ambition was to do something different instead of being conventional musicians. Inspired by that dream they put a lot of hard work to realize it and it paid off finally by producing the very first DJ duo in the paradise isle.
Interview with Ad Brown about his album Something For The Pain. A leading light on the British dance music scene, Ad Brown has rightfully garnered the attention and support from some of the industry's biggest names. Flawlessly rolling out his signature, high-calibre productions with ease and aplomb, it's no surprise that his praises are sung unanimously by industry heavyweights like Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond and Gareth Emery.
Described by 'DJ Mag' as the "go-to man" for the kind of progressive enriched trance that you'd find if you crossed the melodies of Above & Beyond with the backing tracks of Digweed, well – it's easy to see why Ad has been hand-picked to support some of the biggest names in dance music, including Calvin Harris and Paul Oakenfold. Not content with smashing the dance floors at key UK venues like Ministry of Sound, Brown has toured his unique sound across India, Indonesia, Russia and mainland Europe, whilst still finding time to headline festivals like Burnout and fill a 2 week residency at Shanghai's infamous M1NT Club.
Aly & Fila Join 1Mix! After many years of trying, probably the most successfull Trance duo in the world has joined 1Mix Radio weekly schedule. Join us every Tuesday at 19:00hrs GMT on the Trance stream for your weekly dose of Uplifting Trance, with an Egyptian twist.
As hot as the Sahara and standing every bit as tall as pyramids, they're the single most successful group to have emerged from the spiritual lands of Egypt. From the Med to the Red and from up high in Cairo, to down deep in the Sinai, they've built an immense, ultra-loyal in-country following, From that foothold turntable Shamans, Aly Amr Fathalah and Fadi Wassef Naguib went global. With their career-launching Egyptrance releases (inc. 'Eye of Horus' and 'Spirit of Ka') through to latter-day master-blasters like 'We Control The Sunlight', their production credentials are only now matched by their spinning ones.
Interview with International Artists - DJ Lia. Hello Lia, thank you for taking the time for this interview. I know you are currently very busy. What is your latest project? Lia: Hi, first of all thank you for allowing me to give you this interview. Currently I travel every week for my DJ gigs around the world. In addition, soon my new single will be "Walking in Air" with Terri B!. Furthermore, we are working in parallel on two more electro dance numbers. what we will immediately shoot a music video end of the month. Will there be for "Walking on Air", a video? Lia: Yes we shot a great video (in Gatsby & UV Style) within a day. The team consisted of 40 people and Terri B was specially flown to Budapest for the video shoot. You can already see the video on Youtube.
Interview with DJ & producer Jordan Suckley. Within EDM, only a handful of artistes can be named as DJs, Producers and technical magicians. Many perfect and hone their talents to an extraordinary standard in one wing of Dance Music, but to become known for your live performances, to hit the top spots with your productions, and to become renowned for breathtaking skills when unleashed on all manner of equipment, is a very rare entity – Jordan Suckley is a member of that elite. Having gained a residency on the internationally revered station BBC Radio 1, as part of the 'In New DJs We Trust' rotation, further cemented Jordan's inauguration among the Superstar realms. He's received high praise from the likes of Eddie Halliwell, John O'Callaghan, Simon Patterson and with both Mixmag and Beatport tipping him as 'One To Watch', no one can ignore his success and promised potential.
Interview with tyDi about his album 'Hotel Rooms' on Armada Music. Since bursting onto the scene only a few short years ago, tyDi has already achieved more than some can say in a lifetime. During the start of his journey, this extremely young musician was busy balancing his musical career and his studies, graduating with a music degree from the prestigious Conservatorium of Music and releasing his critically acclaimed debut album 'Look Closer' when he was only 19. The classically trained musical mastermind is responsible for creating the chart topping album 'Shooting Stars', which reached #4 on iTunes in the USA, as well as #1 in Australia, Canada, UK and Finland. Despite being voted 'Australia's #1 DJ' two years in a row, he has also been voted in the Top 100 DJ's of the World for the last three years. He currently resides as the #48 top DJ in the world. The humble Aussie has also been honoured with the International Dance Music Award's 'Best Break-Through DJ of the World' award presented by Tiesto.
Hardwell Wins Top 100 DJ's 2013. DJ Mag has released their 2013 results for the top 100 DJs in the world. There have been a lot of rumours that 1Mix Radio resident Hardwell would take the top spot. His new documentary centers on his dream to be the No.1 DJ in the world. During the last few days before the results were released, Hardwell started to compare his ranking spots over the years to his mentor, Tiesto. According to a picture he had posted, Hardwell and Tiesto both took the same numbered positions for three years, from No.24, to No.6 to No.1. At the documentary premier during ADE on Thursday night, other DJs were asked if Hardwell would win and they said yes. Tiesto even announced it a day before the winners were announced, so that's how sure he was. Hardwell was very confident throughout the entire competition, so much so that he was one of the only DJs to actively post about waiting for the results.
Introducing Brighton Music Conference, the UK's first annual electronic music conference. A major new annual electronic music conference will launch next April in Brighton. Led by DJ John '00' Fleming, the Brighton Music Conference (BMC) is backed by some of the biggest authorities in the industry including Above & Beyond, Dave Seaman, Dave Clarke, and Mark Lawrence (PRS for Music). The Brighton Music Conference will feature a two day exhibition for aspiring producers and DJs, as well as an exclusive one day trade conference for industry professionals. The event will take place on April 11 and 12 at the historic Brighton Dome venue, and is also supported by Music Week, DJ Magazine, Mixmag, and top British soundsystem designer Funktion One.
Interview with the DJ/producer and label owner Tempo Giusto about his album 'From The Core'. Tempo Giusto doesn't need much introduction in the electronic music scene. Among releases on the industry's biggest labels, Tempo Giusto's unique sound has mostly been recognised and supported through his pioneering works released on his own label Echelon Records. Described a "true magician" and "the king of triplets" by some critics and artists, Tempo Giusto is without doubt an innovator in his genre, and one of the future driving forces in the club music scene. Dodger. Gemini. Scalar. Tick Tock. The chart topping singles are numerous and 2013 will become even more exciting – Tempo Giusto is releasing his 2nd album "From The Core".

An Amazon Prime report card: Is it really worth $79 per year?
I've been an Amazon Prime customer for nearly a year now, meaning it's time for me to decide whether to continue subscribing to the program.
In case you're unfamiliar with it, Prime works like this: For $79 annually, you get unlimited movie and TV streaming, one free borrowed e-book per month, and automatic two-day shipping on nearly everything you buy (with no minimum dollar amount).
Awesome deal, right? Maybe, and maybe not.
Let's start with the streaming. Amazon has vastly expanded its movie- and TV-show libraries over the past year, to the point where I'd … Read more

I am putting a wet bar in my basement and I was wondering if it's OK to tap into the 4" cleanout in the main waste stack in the basement. There is a 4" cap (threaded) on the cleanout -- can I remove the cap and run a threaded 4" pipe (on one end) out of it and reduce it down to 1.5" for the wet bar drain? I'll vent the wet bar appropriately.
If I can - do I need to provide another cleanout in it's place?
There is not problem with tapping into the cleanout. Leave yourself a cleanout in the same spot. Your new fixtures should be vented.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The No. 6 Texas A&M Aggies travel to Lexington and Starkville this weekend for soccer matches at Kentucky on Friday and Mississippi State on Sunday.
The Maroon and White enter the fray atop the SEC Western Division standings with a 4-0-0 mark and 12 points. The Wildcats are currently in second place in the Eastern Division with a 3-1-0 start while the Bulldogs are in sixth place in the Western Division with a 0-3-1 mark.
Texas A&M looks to continue the program-best streak of seven consecutive shutouts. Jordan Day has tied the SEC record for consecutive shutouts by a keeper with her seven. The scoreless string for the Aggies' defense is also a program-best at 696 minutes. A pair of shutouts this weekend would vault A&M into first place all-time in the SEC record book for consecutive shutouts, moving them past the 1999 Georgia team that recorded eight straight shutouts.
The Maroon and White also own a nine-match win streak. It's the longest streak for the Aggies since they roped together 10 straight wins from Sept. 30 to Nov. 2, 2007. The current streak ranks sixth all time for Texas A&M. The Aggies need four victories to match the streak of 13 in a row set between the 1994 and 1995 seasons.
During the current nine-match win streak, the Aggies have outscored opponents 21-1.
The Aggies return to the friendly confines of Ellis Field for a pair of matches next weekend. Texas A&M hosts the Alabama Crimson Tide in a 7 p.m. match on Friday, Oct. 5, and the Florida Gators in a 12:30 p.m. match on Sunday, Oct. 7.
Season and individual tickets for the 2012 home season are now for sale. To purchase tickets, please contact the 12th Man Foundation Ticket Center at tickets.12thmanfoundation.com, 979-845-2311 or toll free at 1-888-99-AGGIE. Tickets are also available in person beginning one hour before the match at Ellis Field.
Sunday's game will be televised live on Cox Sports TV (Ch. 119 for Bryan Suddenlink Digital). Due to the game being televised, no video streaming will be available for the game. Friday's game will have live video on www.ukathletics.com. Live stats will be available on www.ukathletics.com for Friday's game and www.aggieathletics.com for Sunday. Live audio will be available on RadioAggieland.com and aggieathletics.com for both matches.

In the sixth week of regular season polling, A&M is ranked No. 6 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA)/Continental Tire poll, No. 5 in the Soccer Times rankings and No. 7 in the Soccer America poll. Florida State claimed the top spot in the NSCAA/Continental Tire poll, followed by Stanford, UCLA, Duke and Boston College.
Texas A&M owns a 177-25-5 (.867) all-time record at Ellis Field (formerly Aggie Soccer Stadium). The Maroon and White have called the field home since the 1994 season, playing the inaugural 1993 season at Old Tiger Field. Since 2005, the Aggies have registered a 77-9-4 (.878) mark on the friendly pitch.
The Aggies posted a shutout in seven consecutive games for the first time in program history. Texas A&M scored first in the 38th minute when Bianca Brinson found Catalina Clavijo unmarked in the penalty box to knock the ball into the net for her first goal since 2009. A&M expanded the lead in the second half when Jayne Eadie launched a free kick into the penalty box from 40 yards out and Beth West played the carom perfectly off the crossbar to drive home the goal past the disoriented Auburn keeper. Jordan Day made four saves to pick up her eighth shutout of the season and tying the record for most consecutive shutouts by an SEC keeper with seven.
Kentucky enters the weekend in second place of the Eastern Division after defeating LSU, 2-1, in double OT and falling to Arkansas on the road, 3-2. The Wildcats opened league play at home defeating Florida (2-1) and Mississippi State (3-0). The Wildcats' offense ranks second in the SEC with 2.25 goals scored per game and fifth defensively with 1.25 goals allowed per game. Kayla King (333:48 min/0.54 GAA) and Kayla Price (581:17 min/1.08 GA) have split time between the pipes. Courtney Raetzman leads the offense with four goals and Arin Gilliland and Caitlin Landis lead the team with four assists.
Mississippi State enters the weekend near the bottom in the Western Division after failing to earn a point in the second weekend of league action. The Bulldogs (7-3-1, 0-3-1 SEC) fell to Vanderbilt (4-2) and Tennessee (6-0). Elisabeth Sullivan leads the offense with seven of the 21 goals scored by the Bulldogs this season. Honeye Heydari, Dana Forbes, and Morganne Grimes all have four assists. Skylar Rosson has started all 11 games in goal and has 40 saves and a 1.08 GAA.
The Aggies are 1-0 all-time against Kentucky and will be facing Mississippi State for the first time. Texas A&M won the lone meeting against the Wildcats, an NCAA Tournament overtime thriller, 3-2 in Lexington. With the Aggies trailing 2-1, Heather Wiebe took advantage of a penalty kick to tie the game in the 83rd minute. In overtime, A&M quickly took advantage and Nicky Thrasher scored her 21st goal of the season to send the Aggies to the Sweet Sixteen.
Each of the 14 schools in Southeastern Conference (SEC) sponsor women's soccer. The conference is split into two divisions: Eastern and Western. The Aggies, LSU, Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss, Arkansas and Mississippi State comprise the SEC Western Division and Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee and Vanderbilt make up the SEC Eastern Division. The Aggies will play each of the other 13 schools in the conference this season, beginning with LSU on Sept. 14 in Baton Rouge, La.
In the 20-year history of the program, Texas A&M owns a 18-5-1 record against teams who were members of the SEC at the time and a 29-10-2 mark against current members of the SEC. The ledger includes a 13-5-1 mark against former Big 12 foe Missouri. The Aggies own winning records against Alabama (2-1), Arkansas (2-1), Auburn (1-0), Florida (4-2), Kentucky (1-0), LSU (2-0-1), Ole Miss (1-0), South Carolina (2-0) and Vanderbilt (3-0). The only SEC team Texas A&M has a losing record against is Tennessee (0-1). The Aggies have never faced Georgia and Mississippi State.
The Aggies' 23-player roster features nine upperclassmen, 10 sophomores and 4 freshmen. A&M's squad is guided by seven seniors. The team returns eight starters and 19 letterwinners from a year ago.
The Aggies welcome four freshmen this season, in Janae Cousineau (San Clemente, Calif.), Kristi Leonard (League City, Texas), Karlie Mueller (Sioux Falls, S.D.), and Jackie Tondl (Omaha, Neb.).
With the 2012 No. 14 preseason ranking, A&M has been in the preseason national top 15 every year for 17 consecutive seasons. The Aggies have also consistently appeared in top 25 polls for the past 16 years.
The Aggies won their 12th-and-final Big 12 Championship during the 2011 conference tournament. With just 15 seconds left in the Championship match, Tournament MVP and then-freshman Kelley Monogue weaved through three defenders and ricocheted a shot off of the left post that found then-senior Megan Majewski at 18 yards from goal. Majewski fired with nine seconds on the clock and netted the 1-0 goal against Oklahoma State to win the tournament. The Aggies were the only school in the conference to earn a Big 12 Tournament berth in the 16 years of its existence.
Texas A&M, the reigning Big 12 champion, notched the second spot in the 2012 SEC Soccer Preseason Poll, after receiving 12 of the first-place votes for the SEC West and tallying 89 points overall. The Aggies were picked to win the Western Division and to finish behind Eastern Division favorite Florida, who earned 90 points in the poll. LSU received two first-place votes for the SEC West and was picked to finish second in the division, while Georgia was picked to finish second in the East.
Sophomores Kelley Monogue, Meghan Streight and Katie Perry and senior Beth West were named to the SEC Preseason Watch List on Aug. 8.
The Aggies ranked No. 5 in TopDrawerSoccer.com's Preseason Rankings and placed three players on the publication's SEC Top 20 List. Monogue landed at the top of the list with a No. 1 ranking and was joined in the top 10 by No. 5 Perry and No. 9 West. The Aggies were the only team in the SEC to have three honorees on the list and one of only two schools with multiple players in the top 10.
Monogue was placed on the Missouri Athletic Club (MAC) Hermann Trophy Watch List. The award is the highest honor in collegiate soccer and will be given to a winner on Jan. 11. The field will be narrowed to 15 semifinalists in late November, and three finalists will be named on Dec. 6.
Texas A&M head coach G Guerrieri ranks among the Top 10 in both winning percentage and victories among active Division I coaches. With a career record of 345-109-24 (.747), he ranks seventh in winning percentage (minimum five years as a Division I head coach) and eighth in victories, recently passing SMU's Chris Petrucelli. Among all coaches to ever coach Division I women' soccer, Guerrieri ranks eighth in winning percentage (minimum 10 years as a Division I head coach) and ninth in victories.
A&M face a difficult home slate, hosting 12 opponents at Ellis Field including seven SEC foes. The Aggies started the home slate by going 5-0 on a five-game homestand, including a pair of wins over nationally ranked opponents then-No. 16 Rutgers (4-1) and then-No. 16 Long Beach State (3-0).
A&M faced a tough non-conference schedule. The Aggies' seven games against non-SEC opponents include UC Irvine, San Diego (RV), UTSA, No. 16 Rutgers, Saint Mary's (Calif.), No. 16 Long Beach State and Central Michigan. A&M went 6-1-0 in non-conference action with the lone blemish coming in a 1-0 loss at San Diego.
Since the 2008 season, the Aggies own a 17-0-3 mark against in-state rivals, including an 11-0-3 record against their former Big 12 Conference colleagues. A&M went a perfect 3-0 against in-state foes in 2011, winning the three games by a combined 7-1 margin. This season, the Aggies won their lone scheduled match against a Lone Star opponent, 2-0 against UTSA.
The Aggies' 10-1 mark is tied for the best 11-game start in school history. In both 1996 and '97, the Maroon and White won their first nine games before losing game No. 10. In '96, A&M went 15-1 before its second blemish. The '97 campaign started with a 12-1 record before the second loss.
The Aggies are 4-0-0 in league action for the first time since 2006 when Texas A&M started Big 12 Conference play with wins over Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma.
The Maroon and White started Big 12 play 9-0 in 2006, 7-0 in 2004 and 6-0 in 1997.
The Aggies' nine-game win streak ranks sixth in school annals tied with runs made in both 1996 and 1997. The school record is 13 consecutive wins encompassing the last 10 games of the 1994 season and the first three games of the 1995 campaign. Texas A&M won 11 consecutive games in 2001 and strung together 10-game win streaks in 1995, 2006 and 2007.
