== Bugs relating to the Debian Eee PC project ==
Please do not use this page to track bugs.  This is what the Debian Bug Tracking System (BTS) is for.  However, we have provided a few summaries where workarounds are known and are difficult to dig out of the bug reports, each cross-referenced to the Debian bug numbers.

Read [[/About]] to learn how this project tracks bugs.

 * [[http://bugs.debian.org/debian-eeepc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org|Bugs in packages maintained by the debian-eeepc team]].
 * [[http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?users=debian-eeepc-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org|All bugs with our usertags]]

== FixMe: Migrate the following bugs from old HowTo/Troubleshooting ==
The following bugs need to be classified as one of:

 * no longer an issue (delete)
 * non-bug issue (mention the issue on some other page: [[../FAQ]], [[../TipsAndTricks]], [[../HowTo/Configure]], etc.)
 * real bugs (must have debian bug# against the appropriate package(s) and usertag them)
=== Shutting down fails ===
There is an issue surrounding shutting down (confirmed even in 2.6.25). The system appears to halt, but the fan continues to run (sometimes also the wi-fi light stays on) and your SSD drive may not be cleanly unmounted. The reason is the sound module doesn't close correctly, but there is a fix! Edit '''/etc/default/halt''' as root with your favourite text editor and add the line

{{{
rmmod snd_hda_intel
}}}
at the end. Then it will power off correctly!

900A: This bug does not seem to exist when running Lenny (linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 version 2.6.26-8 on 2008-10-31).

900: Can't reproduce this bug with Lenny (linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686 version 2.6.26-17lenny1).

dieselnutjob: Just installed Lenny onto a 701. The bug is there.  Kernel version 2.6.26-21lenny4 on 2010-03-12.

=== System freezes displaying 'Setting the system clock' ===
Try the following and '''please do give us feedback''' if it does not work for you.

Become root and say:

{{{
echo "HWCLOCKPARS=--directisa" >> /etc/default/rcS
}}}
900A: This workaround is still necessary when running Lenny (linux-image-2.6.26-1-686 version 2.6.26-8 on 2008-10-31).

900: Can't reproduce this bug with Lenny (linux-image-2.6.26-1-openvz-686 version 2.6.26-17lenny1).

=== Wireless not working (using wpa_supplicant) ===
If you get strange errors (for me: WPA not working at all, WEP only working for 8 seconds followed by 30 seconds of "network unreachable" and no key shown in iwconfig ath0) you can try the following ''workaround'':

As root use this command:

killall wpa_supplicant && sleep 5 && wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

(Perhaps you can deamonize wpa_supplicant, never tried...)

and on another console you have then to start dhclient (sudo dhclient) to get a DHCP lease (if you don't have static settings)

=== Keyboard on 901 ===
RaulFerriz:
  Win key doesn't work: Does any one have a solution? ( I refer the key between Fn and right Alt, but the key between AltGr and left Control doesn't work also)

  Ctrl + Alt + Arrows doesn't seem to respond under any window manager I tested (gnome, fluxbox and twm). Any advice?

  Ctrl + Alt + F1-F9: Doesn't do nothing ...
