Re: Jaunty Mobile
Hi, 1) The issues that I had was that the netbook-launcher was not running in harmony with the previous mobile desktop when it upgraded, and it would keep trying to decided whether it should be in front of or behind the panels. I just uninstalled it, and things were back to normal. 2) Aside from that, I've been having many system freezes, and I'm not sure if that is related to my hardware, or the upgrade itself. My TabletPC uses the Intel 945 graphic card eGalax toucscreen The freeze never happens, unless I touch the screen a lot. If I were to plug in a mouse, then no freezes, so it seems to be related to touchscreen maybe? I guess this is a heads up for people thinking of upgrading to Jaunty.

Re: Jaunty Mobile
There is no separate UMPC release for Jaunty. In many ways, the goals of the UMPC flavour were identical to the goals of the Netbook Remix, and there were several sets of instructions on partially enabling the Netbook Remix interface for the UMPC release in intrepid. During the Jaunty cycle, the code and packages previously in the Netbook Remix were brought up to date and integrated with Ubuntu, resulting in a release as a flavour of Ubuntu, rather than a derivative. Those that prefer the previous interface are probably best served by installing Desktop, and then installing the intrepid ubuntu-mobile package. I'm not sure if this works (I haven't tried it). If someone wants to take over maintenance of the settings package and associated bits to work in Karmic, that is certainly a solution, but those previously maintaining it have merged their efforts with the Netbook Remix. I have just tried the Netbook Remix via live USB. I see that *some* bugs that haunted me with UMPC and intrepid were resolved -- for example, wireless now wakes up after suspend. This is on a Samsung Q1U. To my dislike, it still did not recognize the builtin cameras, did not turn the arrow keys into scrollers (I guess I still need to set the keycodes accordingly still), touch screen calibration froze the unit, I can not find an easy way to edit and reduce the clutter of the netbook interface. I guess this mailing list may not be the right place to report these anymore? Or is it? Thanks for all your suggestions. -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
Re: Jaunty Mobile
If you hate the interface that NB remix has the devopers also included a way to go to the classic desktop. Then you just install the mobile package like we did before. I haven't tried it yet because of my next problem. During install after the format and organizing of the partitions it hangs on 5%. It doesn't freeze but it zips right to it and stops there is no activity on the USB so i restarted. It did it again when I selected install on the boot menu instead of try. Any one else have this hang? Or does it just take a long time on the 5 and I am being impatient.

What about screen rotation? Under Intrepeid, at least early on, it was lousy. The mouse and touch screen axes didn't properly update with the rotated screen, so pointer movement was WAY off. Have you tried screen rotation with Jaunty, on the Q1U? I think it'd be nice to do Google Reader in portrait mode, for example :-) -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile

Re: Jaunty Mobile (correction)
Hi, Actually, there are two packages, one called ubuntu-mobile and one called ubuntu-mobile-default-settings which was not removed after upgrade to Jaunty. The ubuntu-mobile package seems to install the packages required for ubuntu-mobile, and the ubuntu-mobile-default-settings are the settings for these packages. Can anyone confirm this? I did not have time to look deeply into these packages, and sorry for the earlier double post.
