eee-applet doesn't work at all on EEE 1000

[sprince09]

Binary package hint: eee-applet

Just upgraded my EEE 1000 to Karmic, and installed the eee-applet from the repos because the guy who maintains eee-control applet hasn't released a karmic .deb yet. Anyway, I installed eee-applet and ran it with:

gksudo eee-applet

and it pops up a system tray icon, but none of the features listed under the icon do anything. It seems to be looking for something in /proc that isn't there. For example, if I try and change the CPU fan speeds I get:

sh: cannot create /proc/eee/fan_manual: Directory nonexistent
sn_launcher_context_complete called for an SnLauncherContext that hasn't been initiated
sh: cannot create /proc/eee/fan_speed: Directory nonexistent

Or if I try and set the CPU frequency:

sn_launcher_context_complete called for an SnLauncherContext that hasn't been initiated
/usr/share/eee-applet/eee-fsb.sh: 3: cannot create /proc/eee/fsb: Directory nonexistent

Or finally, if I try and turn on the SD card reader:

sn_launcher_context_complete called for an SnLauncherContext that hasn't been initiated
sh: cannot create /proc/acpi/asus/cardr: Directory nonexistent

The version of eee-applet I'm using is: 0.2
My kernel version is: 2.6.31-13-generic

Any ideas?

same here on Lucid and Asus Eee pc 1005HA

for example after running the eee-applet form terminal and choosing to enable card reader I get this error
#sh: cannot create /proc/eee/fan_manual: Directory nonexistent

I don't know how did I did I copied the line in the above comment. the right one is:

sh: cannot create /proc/acpi/asus/cardr: Directory nonexistent
sn_launcher_context_complete called for an SnLauncherContext that hasn't been initiated
