Installation of PA3
Hallo, I am a long time KDE-user on Debian Sid and have Plasma-Active on my weTab for some time, from wich I kicked the original OS. I have testet the meego and mer weekly builds from basykom and the latest iso from balsam. Now I have installed PA3 and maybe it is interesting for you, when I give feedback. But first, I want to thank you all for the great work. I hope, there will be hardware soon. The first thing, I want to make a remark on, is the installer. Is there a way, to get PA3 installed, without a usb-keybord? I think, that is importeant for the normal user. By the way, what is the diffrence between the iso from 14.10.2012 and the iso.1 from 15.10.2012? Wolfgang ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active

Where can I find it? it's a news reader, not a microblogging app... we really do need to hook up one of the several microblogging apps that are floating around, however :) No, it's really a microblogging app. There's *also* a news reader, even in the same repo. -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active

First I like to point out, the MeeGo based image are outdated and not supported
anymore.
Now I have installed PA3 and maybe it is interesting for you, when I give
feedback. But first, I want to thank you all for the great work. I hope, there

Following steps should work from Plasma Active live mode:
su
export PATH=${PATH}:/sbin:/usr/sbin
installer-shell
By the way, what is the diffrence between the iso from 14.10.2012 and the
iso.1 from 15.10.2012?
There was no difference and the already removed name.1 files are
unneeded dublicated artifacts.
Great thanks for your feedback!
Cheers,
Maurice

Oh, that would work? So we should put that on the installation Wiki page then,
as having to attach a USB keyboard for installation may really be an obstacle
for some people (for example those who use only a laptop and don't even own a
USB keyboard anymore).

To upgrade, must I use the USB stick again? Is 'zypper refresh ; zypper update' sufficient? I did that this morning and it upgraded only four packages: okular-active, okular-corelib, plasma- mobile-config-default, and plasma-mobile-config-default-blacklist. Yes, by 'zypper refresh ; zypper update' you are on the same revisions as the official PA3 release. The rc images and the final release are using the same rpm repositories.

There were PA flyers printed once, weren't there? Was their content timeless or would it need to be updated? If there are some left and they could still be used: Where can I get them? Thanks, Thomas I'm not aware of any brochures. I've demonstrated PA at several conferences on the ExoPC. I guess basyskom printed some brochures once for an exhibition, but those would probably be horribly outdated by now anyway. Good idea to have brochures. We've been using business card sized literature lately, which works well. Would be easy to have 3Important Things about PA and PA3 along with the logo and URL. How long will you be there? Do you have access to a printing company? In Europe, business cards are 55 mm x 85 mm? Yes, business card sized material would be great. That way I could give people a PA card along with my business card. However, I don't think I can get to a printing company here, due to a full schedule, and I'll return on Wednesday. But having some cards for the next conference / exhibition / meeting would be helpful. And yes, it seems 85x55 is the norm here.
