RE: eee?
Praj, I carried in my eeepc to work today, so if you want to try your LiveCD on it then you can use it. --rusty On Thu, 2008-03-27 at 09:30 -0700, Prajwal Mohan wrote: > I have tried the LiveCD functionality on Samsung Q1 (Mccaslin) and it works. > I haven't tried testing it extensively though. > > Thanks, > Praj > > > -Original Message- > From: Lynch, Rusty > Sent: Wednesday, March 26, 2008 7:29 PM > To: Mahir Sayar > Cc: Ubuntu Mobile; Karur Mohan, Prajwal > Subject: Re: eee? > > I have personally never tried the recently added liveCD functionality. > Perhaps Praj has an idea? > > BTW... you don't have a USB key handy?

Re: eee?
what must i do to find out where the problem is located? seeing as i get the same problem on the eee kvm and kqemu - is it save to say the problem is with the liveCD that was built? should i build another? -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
RE: eee?
I have tried the LiveCD functionality on Samsung Q1 (Mccaslin) and it works. I haven't tried testing it extensively though.

Re: eee?
I have been trying to get ubuntu-mobile running on my own eeepc and have not had much luck with the image creator. I created an image a few weeks ago and wrote it to a usb key and it failed to fully boot. What I am currently doing is running a regular hardy and have installed the ubuntu-mobile package. I start from a .desktop entry in grub which calls the start-hildon scrip from the wiki. What are the differences between a full install and installing the metapackage? --- Rusty Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have personally never tried the recently added > liveCD functionality. > Perhaps Praj has an idea? > > BTW... you don't have a USB key handy?

Re: eee?
I have personally never tried the recently added liveCD functionality. Perhaps Praj has an idea? BTW... you don't have a USB key handy? It's so much easier to deal with then burning CD's and using USB CD drives. Or... are you saying the eeepc BIOS doesn't support booting off a USB key? I have an eeepc but have never tried booting off a USB key... I should just give it a try. --rusty On Thu, 2008-03-27 at 02:07 +, Mahir Sayar wrote: > right so i made the livecd image.. > using the hardy with teh extra fpset things... with all but without > the debuging.. > > however like i stated, i am unable to boot the eeepc using an SDcard > so im booting via usb cdrom.. > > when i try to boot the cdimage via kvm and qemu and a native boot on > the eeepc > i get the same error message > > > > Trying again /dev/scd0 > > > what can i do to combat this? > > On Wed, Mar 26, 2008 at 5:32 PM, Mahir Sayar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > well this eee is a play thing anyway... i have no problem > wiping the harddisk, as i do not have a usb and it doesnt seem > to want to boot from sd.. > > > > > -- > > > > > -- > Mahir Sayar > http://puccaso.com -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
Re: eee?
right so i made the livecd image.. using the hardy with teh extra fpset things... with all but without the debuging.. however like i stated, i am unable to boot the eeepc using an SDcard so im booting via usb cdrom.. when i try to boot the cdimage via kvm and qemu and a native boot on the eeepc i get the same error message Trying again /dev/scd0 what can i do to combat this?

Re: eee?
Yes it is possible if you swap out the kernel with the normal i386 Ubunt/Hardy kernel. --rusty On Wed, 2008-03-26 at 17:18 +, Mahir Sayar wrote: > is it possible to create an image to install on the eeepc? possibly > creating the image and installing the normal hardy kernel to boot with > if the ume kernel doesnt boot? > > -- > > > > > -- > Mahir Sayar > http://puccaso.com -- Ubuntu-mobile mailing list Ubuntu-mobile@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-mobile
Re: eee?
Architecturally, the Eee PC is the same as the McCaslin platform supported in MIC. I'd try making a live usb image first, as the install image will wipe the local drive. The only issue I can readily think of is the default resolution for X. The Q1 Ultra, which the McCaslin image is more specific to, has a higher resolution capability than the Eee.
