Re: Supporting Ubuntu Mobile
It certainly looks like Win7 would take back the Netbook market from Linux with W7 at this stage. Having tested it at the weekend, its clear that the 1.6Ghz processor, 1GB mem and a reasonably fast disk will be fine and offers a far more comfortable, productive and enjoyable environment than any Linux distro i've seen. I don't see any Linux distribution increasing their share in the netbook market with WM7 around UNLESS, 1) Microsoft charge full rates for W7 licenses AND 2) Win XP for ULCPCs goes away. In this case, Linux could give OEMs the chance to save some up-front licensing costs. It leaves the MID market where 4GB flash, 800Mhz processors aren't good enough for Win7 and MS doesn't have an X86 product to offer (assuming XP goes away and WM7 does not support X86 architechture.)

It just emphasize what I have been trying to say here - which is that on the desktop level Windows is too dominant to defeat at this point. But you have a unique opportunity until next December when Windows7 is supposed to be released to eat more and more market share in the Netbook domain. I may be hallucinating but Canonical and the community here need to concentrate all of the efforts around a real winning opportunity, which in my opinion is probably the Mobile edition.

Putting aside enterprise software and focusing on the consumer market, we are facing a unique opportunity here. Microsoft is making a dual strategic mistake in my humble opinion when not pushing XP as the mobile (netbook/umpc/mid) OS. It has corrected itself by not eliminating it and reversing the process. But they are also heavily invested in Windows mobile and as a big corporation it is almost impossible for them to maneuver to the right direction. The mobile OS should no longer be considered as a different entity but a derivative of the desktop OS, with agility and resolution adaptation. The Ubuntu mobile project seems to have all of that. Actually if I were to speculate as stated in my original reply, I would say that Canonical has much more chances with the mobile edition than with the desktop one, concerning market share and the possibility to finally put a Linux flavor as a truly wide distribution for the consumer market. But my personal opinion is probably different from most open source fans. I don't see any open source project becoming the next big thing without big corporations standing behind it. And I may be stating a strange opinion here, but open source and big corporations should go together. I can see various software companies which could adopt the Ubuntu mobile project for various reasons. Without spending big money on this effort the community will just get frustrated. That said if played right the wonderful community around Ubuntu could definitely make the difference and elevate it to the right places. To summarize, I can't help thinking that ATM this project is still not on the road for glory. I don't see Canonical aiming high enough nor have the vision or the killer instinct they could show. I would personally take Steve's advice if I were them concerning the forums the advertisement and the OEMs. I would also suggest putting this agenda as the number one priority for the company and revamping the Ubuntu front page with mobile reference.

Ubuntu-MID on Aigo (COmpal JAX-10) Worth promoting?
Hi. You might have seen a few reviews on the Aigo MID recently on the net. Pocketables published one todayhttp://www.pocketables.net/2008/10/review-aigo-p88.html, I have one for testinghttp://www.umpcportal.com/2008/10/aigo-mid-exciting-live-session-later(Mobilx will be promoting and selling them in the EU) and if you've got an hour to kill, we did a live session with it the other day and recorded the Ustream http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/821045. General opinion is that the software stack, based on Midinux, isnt that refined. The apps are rather poor and there's an Asian focus on some of the the features. The worst thing is that although many of the fans/hackers are doing a great job on working out workarounds and enhancements, they cant feed back into Midinux because for our English speaking community, its impossible to communicate efficiently. I'm about to highlight the release of Ubuntu-UMPC and Ubuntu-MID in an article and will take the chance to update people with an overview of the options out there but what i'd like to do is to say to potential Aigo (and Benq S6 and SFR Mi PC) owner/developers ' take the latest Ubuntu-MID and lets work with that. ' But...is Ubuntu-MID at a stage where an Aigo owner could install it and be confident that at least Wifi, BT stack and a decent browser was available. The last time I tried it (on a Gigabyte version of the Jax-10 some months ago) it wasnt too enjoyable. Maybe someone could give some feedback so that I can round-up some of this valuable community resource and stear it to a channel that will not only be easier to communicate with, but is likely to feed quality changes down into a release that everyone can benefit from. Looking forward to some help on this.

I think TAL has a good point that there's an opportunity here that could take root if given more support from the back-end.

You are obviously talkingn to OEMs directly in the b/g but how about tempting other OEMs and developers via high quality branded blogs and not via IRC (Please, IRC is great but users, OEMs, ISVs, resellers jsut dont have the time to participate. ) or mailing lists. Canonical also need to do marketing. Now. Not when Ubuntu Mobile is launched. Its almost funny that this distro was announced on a personal blog until you realise what potential we're talking about here. Ubuntu Mobile seems to be taking root. ISVs and community members need reasons to join now. Canonical need to provide the feedback that gives them confidence that this project will go forward with aggression, good end-user focus and with long-term goals to become the de-facto choice on netbooks and medium sized touchscreen devices. I have a to-do to write another Ubuntu Mobile article soon bul will probably fire a few questions to Canonical PR before I do that. I'll try and tie it in with the first release at end of October with a new video. I'll also be campaigning for Poulsbo/SCH/GMA500 support for the next release as I know some OEMs that are looking for a solution here.

Although I've been replying to a number of these mails, it's not that I'm someone particularly special when it comes to Ubuntu Mobile: I'm just a user who was unsatisfied with both Ubuntu MID and Ubuntu Desktop on my Kohjinsha SR. Oliver credits me with some help with the installer, but that truly belongs to the many contributors to the installer technologies used, some originating in Ubuntu, and some in Debian. I may be an Ubuntu Developer, but that's just because I've been an Ubuntu user and contributor for long enough that someone granted me upload rights (I have not checked to see if any of my patches are in Ubuntu Mobile). Nothing I'm saying represents anything other than my opinion, and shouldn't be taken as a statement of policy of any sort. But as many analysts are claiming the Linux landscape is way too fractured in general and on the mobile front, so to make this one stand out of the crowd and give MS a real fight (as with the desktop edition) Canonical can't throw it on the community as a prime resource, at least not at this stage. I beg to argue that this is all a big waste of time if you don't intend realizing the huge potential you have in your hands, and invest much more resources on its success. The community will follow only when seeing your own initial commitment ... I take great issue with this assertion. Ubuntu is developed by a large and diverse community, and that Ubuntu Mobile is developed entirely within and as part of Ubuntu is surely a good means by which to ensure that the work done includes the work of the largest number of interested parties. While is it certainly true that Canonical offers significant support to Ubuntu, including almost all of the infrastructure and funding for a number of the developers (I believe it to be over 10%, including more than a third of the most active developers, although I could be mistaken), for which much appreciation is deserved, it is not the case that Ubuntu Mobile is something which Canonical is throwing on the community, nor is it the case that Ubuntu Mobile being community created and community supported necessarily means that nobody associated with Canonical will be involved in that community. While Oliver has created the initial preview image for Ubuntu Mobile, the idea originates from the UDS held in Prague, has been discussed in the #ubuntu-mobile channel in freenode for some time, and relies heavily on the work of the entire Ubuntu community in order to function as
Supporting Ubuntu Mobile
Ubuntu Mobile team and community. I've been impressed with what Oliver has done with Ubuntu Mobile in such a short time and I see an opportunity. We, the mobile community, finally have a project that we can get behind with confidence. Ubuntu-MID is great but there's a feeling that Intel, Canonical and others are tied up with OEMs and that the project is not so accessible. Not least becuase there isn't a single instance of it in the wild yet! Ubuntu-Mobile looks like its almost in a usable state, is platform independant, is as open as it can be, has a good brand behind it and covers more than just MIDs. It could really help the UMPC and Netbook community. My proposal is that UMPCPortal officially supports the Ubuntu Mobile project and tries to rally dev support for it. My feeling is that the project could really benefit from more dev and community support, and that we are in a position to help seed that. This project could capture a big chunk of netbook, umpc and mid owner support. My question is, can we do this in some semi-formal way? I want to post an article (today if possble), place a promotional ad button and donate some equipment to Oliver.

Seems very strange that it worked second time around. I can't see why it didnt work the first tie round.

I didn't give any importance to that as I didn't care too much about the target CPU architecture, I just wanted to see how the behaviour of the devices was when trying to boot from the USB key with a MIC-created image.

Re: Supporting Ubuntu Mobile
Hi Emmet. Thanks for your response. My responses inline. Steve. My question is, can we do this in some semi-formal way? I want to post an article (today if possble), place a promotional ad button and donate some equipment to Oliver. Can someone from Canonical informally 'approve' and 'recieve' our support such that the community sees that it's a two-way link? I can't speak on behalf of Canonical, but speaking from my experience in Ubuntu, it's generally better to get more people who each have their own hardware involved than to send lots of hardware to some specific person. More developers with more hardware would help get Ubuntu Mobile from being something that a couple people fiddle with to something rich, robust, and widely supported. While Oliver would likely enjoy being drowned in hardware, it's unlikely that such a model would result in the significant ongoing testing that is required to ensure that the releases meet the desired level of polish. I was proposing that I send an SC3 to Oliver (mainly as I know him and he's not far from me in Germany) to help out with the SCH/Poulsbo testing, not buying up the contents of Dynamism and shipping it to him ;-) I doubt you'll find many devs with poulsbo/touch hardware out there to be honest either so unless Canonical are sending engineers devices, where do they start? How many people on the Ubuntu Mobile (distro) team right now though? I get the impression that its, er, not many more than Oliver? Also, I think that rather than creating a link between a UMPC Portal Ubuntu Mobile Community and a Canonical Ubuntu Mobile Developer, it may be more sensible to join both as part of an Ubuntu Mobile Community using Ubuntu resources (forums, wiki), this mailing list, and the IRC channel, to discuss items of interest. Such a group may also pull other interested parties, from other sources, where all can collaborate towards a common goal. No problem. you tell me where people should gather. I'll try and promote that meeting point. Dont say IRC or mailing lists though. Open, easy to use forums is probaly the best way to achieve the critical seeding process. One note - I also want to promote Ubuntu Mobile as a potential distro for the larger Poulsbo-based UMPCs and possibly MIDs. I know Ubuntu-MID is there for that but I see Ubuntu-MID more of a 'developer' or 'OEM' edition and as such, it doesnt connect with the community as well. This is the key element and advantage I see with Ubuntu Mobile. Well, no, Ubuntu MID specifically isn't there for that. Ubuntu MID is very much not ideal for use on the larger devices (speaking as someone who used Ubuntu MID on a 7 laptop as a primary computing platform all through Intrepid UDS). These larger devices are definitely a target for Ubuntu Mobile, and if sufficiently large, may even be better with Desktop than either MID or Mobile. Dont forget, touch-interfaces are important here with the mid-range devices. With either large or small screen, the finger doesnt change its size so moving to desktop just because a device has a large screen is a mistake. I see Ubuntu Mobile targeted at the nobile devices. Sub 1KG, often without keyboards. -- OK. I'm happy to promote Ubuntu-Mobile for UMPC-sized Poulsbo devices and very happy to see it happen. Send me details of the ubuntu forum that people should plug into, details of the team and its project wiki/plan and I'll create a news item to say that we're behind Ubuntu Mobile as our #1 hope for UMPCs. Some promo work has to be done somewhere along the lines, I hope this little bit will help to seed enough support and action to get things moving quickly. Netbooks, MIDs and UMPCs are the biggest chance that Linux has ever had to get into the hands of millions but in my opinion, you havent got long before others come in on the scene.

Re: Feedback on Ubuntu Mobile - 7-9 device edition.
Having read the Wiki now: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Mobile/History the details are clear. I guess anyone joining the community know isn't going to have a problem. It was just that I always had the Moblin builds as 'Ubuntu Mobile' in my head. Which is, in fact, more confusing that the terminology that has been chosen now. The new naming makes sense: *Ubuntu Mobile* for UMPC's and netbooks. (Ubuntu+Gnome) *Ubuntu MID* for MIDs (Moblin+Hildon) All created by the Ubuntu Mobile team. It appears then that netbook remix is no more. Correct? It was interesting to read that Ubuntu Mobile might include support for Silverthorne/Poulsbo-based devices, which include MIDs. I think its a great idea. The only Poulsbo-based device i have myself is the Kohjinsha SC3 which is a 7 device running Vista and it badly needs Ubuntu Mobile!

Re: Trying to boot a Samsung Q1 (non-Ultra) with a Ubuntu Mobile flashed USB
I wasnt able to get the image to boot from a Q1b last bight as the BIOS doesn't seem to support it. THe Q1b is a VIA-based device but maybe the BIOS is simlar in that it doesnt allow booting from flash. I might be able to try it on a Q1P later today for you. For reference, Q1U, Wibrain, SC3, Everun Note, MSI Wind all boot OK from the same flash image.(ALthough maybe not work 100%) Steve.

I've set the BIOS booting priorities properly and I've checked the two images in 3 different devices (2 laptops and the UMPC) and all terminals and images have the same problem: instead of booting Ubuntu a blinking cursor appears in the top left corner of the screen, no activity at all, neither in the USB nor in the UMPC (I have waited for more than 15 minutes...).

Poulsbo support in Ubuntu Mobile?
Obviously Ubuntu-MID will have support for Poulsbo/SCH but what about the bigger devices using Silverthorne/Poulsbo. Ubuntu-MID doesnt really, er, 'fit'! KJS have a couple of big screen devices. Viliv are working on two. Wibrain and even Dell who will have a 12 netbook using Silverthorne Poulsbo. Windows XP works of course but SCH drivers are primitive. Video codec support is a nightmare as is finger fiendlyness on the touch devices. Vista is simply too much for most of these devices. Ubuntu-Mobile fits in well and could generate some serious dev. interest. How difficult would it be to build in the Poulsbo drivers from Ubuntu-MID at an early stage so I can present it to the UMPC/Netbook community as something they SHOULD be getting involved in?

Hi Adilson. The dmesg from the SH6 (Booting from 5th August build I think) is here.http://www.umpcportal.com/downloads/dmesg the wifi is a USB-connect module from Ralink technology. Model RT73. They have linux source available but maybe its already pre-built somewhere else in Ubuntu land? http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html I cant find the cam details at the moment and i'm assuming that the evtouch module is not built into the nightly builds yet. Synaptics touchpad works but the synaptics touch pointer not.. There are extra buttons on the SH6 'launcher' and 'shutter' it would be good to map these to the relevant UME apps.
