=====ubuntu de-ubuntuization=====

Ok, now we have our shining new oneiric install on our ac100.\\
We just realized on our desktop machine that unity sucks; but on our ac100 it's ever worst. All the 512MB of ram filled by the ubuntu-experience-stuff.

Waiting for a Debian Installer for Humans (something like the excellent oneiric installer) or waiting for ArchLinuxArm... or Angstrom distribution... or anything else - we have to grow up and skill up, we are new ac100 owners, we are noob - this is

edit if you want metacity with some compositing as your window manager
ck-launch-session is maybe-needed by NetworkManager to connect to protected wifi networks

==troubleshooting==
i had problems connecting with NetworkManager to protected wifi networks;
add your user to the 'networkmanager' group:

sudo gpasswd -a `whoami` networkmanager

==reboot==
cross your fingers and reboot :)

==suspend on lid-close==

to suspend from commandline:

sudo pm-suspend # pre-cooked script that does the clean thing (have a look to it: cat /usr/sbin/pm-suspend)

or

sudo bash -c "echo mem > /sys/power/state" #quick and dirty solution :)

i'm trying to make scripts/programs to manage with lid close event..
but i lost the reopen-after-suspend and first close-after-resume events..
currently suspend-on-lid-close is working only every 2 close so... work in progress!

==suspend, reboot, backlight as user==

you can create udev rules as sven done here http://ac100.grandou.net/backlightcontrol or, like me, you can add lines to visudo to allow your user to sudo without password some commands ('s' is my user):

sudo visudo

<code>  
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/s/bin/wifi_off
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/s/bin/wifi_on
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/s/bin/suspend
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /home/s/bin/backlight
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/mount
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/pm-suspend
%s ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/rfkill
</code>

== Maximize all Windows in Openbox ==
You can do this with maximus. Or - recommended - just by openbox. Insert these lines in Openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml (or Openbox/lxde-rc.xml respectively)
<code>
   <application class="*">
      <decor>no</decor>
      <maximized>yes</maximized>
    </application>
</code>
