Re: Feedback on Ubuntu Mobile - 7-9 device edition.
Hello all, Following up once more on my message about the mounting of USB sticks, SD cards via the internal card reader etc. I have found the problem. For some reason fstab had a line: /dev/sdb /media/crom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 00 This meant anything I inserted and got recognized as /dev/sdb was being mounted as a cdrom which ofcourse was not working. Removing that line solves the problem. I do not know why that line is included in the fstab by default. I did *not* ever use a CDROM on this device. It must be a distro image bug.

Re: Feedback on Ubuntu Mobile - 7-9 device edition.
I also found this somewhat confusing but i read the new wiki page at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MobileTeam/Mobile/History which has cleared things up Just to clarify things further. I am a Samsung Q1 ultra user and I have been using Ubuntu-Mobile since the initial release with reasonable success and a whole lot of complaints -- worst being the inability to suspend and hibernate. I am not really a developer, although, I hope to be useful as a tester and provide bug-reports and feedback. I guess it is time to try one of the new images. So, now there are two editions out there: ubuntu-MID ubuntu-mobile Both appear suitable for Samsung Q1. One is GNOME based which I kind of like because of familiarity but I was getting used to Hildon too. My questions are then: 1 - Can I upgrade from existing installation? If so, is it a dist-upgrade like regular ubuntu? Is it going to create troubles? (I have some amount of customization but not too much). 2 - Which of the two would work better on Samsung Q1? I donot care too much about video, webcam etc. I mostly want to use this as a note-taking (both via an external keyboard and via the touch screen -- using xournal), internet (mainly to check e-mail on the go and some web-sites), storage, pdf-viewer, projection/presentation. Also, are there people here interested in customizing this for scientific use? (include some touchscreen calculators, plotting utilities, xournal, perhaps some voice recording, presentation software etc) Thanks, Turgut -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
RE: Feedback on Ubuntu Mobile - 7-9 device edition.
I totally agree with Steve's renaming suggestion. It makes a lot of sense to target this to the UMPC and Netbook markets. Also most Netbooks are going up to 10 so why stop at 9? I think that your naming policy ATM is very confusing. How is the Ubuntu Netbook Remix related to this 7-9 device edition? From my perspective this is the true Ubuntu Netbook Edition.

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!

Also, are there people here interested in customizing this for scientific use? (include some touchscreen calculators, plotting utilities, xournal, perhaps some voice recording, presentation software etc) sure, for now ubuntu-mobile is thought as a first shot thing to generate as much feedback as possible and gain us hardware info and info about apps that need love, it might change a lot in jaunty (9.04) and we can easily create a ubuntu-mobile-science addon package that pulls in the selected apps ... (btw xournal is included by default already) ciao oli signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
