Open menu Accessories > Terminal
Then type the following lines :

sudo su -
mv /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager  /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager.sav
apt-get install guidance-power-manager

ln -s /usr/share/kde4/apps/guidance-power-manager/guidance-power-
manager.py  /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager

The last instruction must be enter on a single line…

If it doesn’t work… you should give it a try to the Ubuntu NetBookRemix 9.04 version… it’s working pretty well out of the box on my MSI Wind U100…

I tried to rename the gnome-power-manager after granting myself root privilge (I think: sudo su), but the option to rename the file is greyed out? This is my second attempt to run Ubuntu netbook remix on my MSI Wind U100, but that screen-flicker is really discouraging... Another few attempts, and I'll load up Windows again. Many thanks in advance Sylvain Hello

If you disabled webcam, USB worked. Now this is fixed and both work properly- As for the blinking screen, you can fix it yourself. Just do as following: rename /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager into /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager.save install guidance-power-manager (from kde) create a symlink: ln -s /usr/share/kde4/apps/guidance-power-manager/guidance-power-manager.py /usr/bin/gnome-power-manager USB broken and webcam not working is the same bug.
