I tried to install calculate xfce on a eeepc 901 in this way:
/dev/sda1 4g swap
/dev/sdb1 16g root
The installation is ok but when i reboot i have black screen.
Why?
Nobody knows?
Hello,
When you have a black screen : just after Grub (with select line) or when XFCE4 Session must start ?
Thanks

Thanks for reply.
I have black screen after Grub: i select item and then black screen.
Nothing to do i reinstall again again again but the problem is always the same.
Ideas?
Hello,
When you have the black screen just after Grub, is the hdd’s led blinking ?
What is the /dev/sdb : an usb hdd and where is Grub installed ?
Thanks

“When you have the black screen just after Grub, is the hdd’s led blinking ?”
yes it is
“What is the /dev/sdb : an usb hdd and where is Grub installed ?”
The eeepc 901 has two hdd not usb: one of 4Gb and one of 16 Gb. The Grub is installed over 4gb hdd
Hello,
Some eeepc use a video chipset : poulsbo … Can you boot your livecd and in a terminal with the root account :
lspci -v | grep VGA
and give us the result here.
Thanks.
XKomodor | Julien
# lspci -v | grep VGA
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GSE Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])
The driver i set during installation is intel
Hello,
It seems that the Kernel in 3.8 is bugged with this video chipset like that :
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2104010
One solution will be to install the Kernel with calculate-sources in version 3.7.10 like with a ssh session :
emerge -qv =sys-kernel/calculate-sources-3.7.10
and
module-rebuild -X rebuild && cl-setup-boot
If you need help, you can use the IRC Channel #calculate on Freenode.
Thanks
XKomodor | Julien
Why with a ssh session?
I try to install it by chroot from livecd and this is the result:
# emerge -qv =sys-kernel/calculate-sources-3.7.10
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=sys-kernel/calculate-sources-3.7.10".
and then
# module-rebuild -X rebuild && cl-setup-boot
** Preparing to merge modules:
** Packages which I will emerge are:
net-wireless/broadcom-sta
5 4 3 2 1

Before emerging your “new” Kernel, you must synchronise Portage and Calculate Overlay with :
eix-sync
If your laptop doesn’t have a Broadcom chipset, you can unmerge net-wireless/broadcom like that :
emerge -C net-wireless/broadcom
Thanks

PS : Broadcom is a bullshit ^^’

i dont know what to do… Help me please
Hello,
It is not as it should be.
I propose to give you a disk containing the kernel you need, it takes me two days to do it and make it available.
If you want to do yourself, you can use the documentation:
http://www.calculate-linux.org/main/en/interactive_system_build
By following this example:
??Examples
Adding Opera browser to CLS at CD boot
Do the following:
boot from a CD in “Builder” mode;
execute cl-builder in console;
make sure the cursor has changed its color. Then enter emerge opera to install the browser;
type exit to exit chroot;
mount the hard drive section if needed: mount /dev/sdaX /var/calculate;
save changes in a new ISO image: cl-image iso.??
I give you a new ISO or do you prefer to do it yourself?
Thanks
XKomodor | Julien
If possible now i try to do it myself. If i am not able to do it you will give me a new ISO, ok?
Thanks a lot.
I tried many times to install cldx on eeepc 901 but i was not able to do it. Can you help me giving me a new iso how you said please?
Hello,
If you want me to make you a specific ISO, I can not do that during the weekend and put it online on Monday.
Will you have patience? 
Thanks
