| LanceHaig | Hi How do I know if ubuntu can run on my Dell AXIM X30? | 17:11 |
| ogra | you boot from the usb key and run the live session ? | 17:12 |
| LanceHaig | right | 17:12 |
| ogra | would be the safest way imho | 17:12 |
| LanceHaig | I can't find a link on the wiki | 17:13 |
| ogra | to what ? | 17:13 |
| ogra | the image ? | 17:13 |
| LanceHaig | to how rto accomplish that | 17:14 |
| LanceHaig | but I will keep looking | 17:14 |
| ogra | see /topic ;) | 17:14 |
| ogra | the download page has instructions to get the image in a usb key ... | 17:14 |
| ogra | *on | 17:14 |
| LanceHaig | there is no link to the download page in the FAQ | 17:15 |
| LanceHaig | but I think I found it | 17:15 |
| LanceHaig | Thanks | 17:15 |

| ido- | orga , does hibernate/suspend work well on your Q1u ? | 17:21 |
| ogra | yes | 17:21 |
| ido- | because it doesn't on mine. | 17:21 |
| ogra | how do you suspend ? | 17:22 |
| ido- | hiberante doesnt work at all iirc, and suspend does work, but when it wakes up there's no network interfaces | 17:22 |
| ogra | and did you pick a big enough swap partition for hibernate ? | 17:22 |
| ido- | it never asked me to. where do i pick it ? | 17:23 |
| ogra | http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/810 | 17:23 |
| ogra | see "Wireless doesn't work after suspend with ath_pci driver" | 17:23 |
| ogra | there is a wrokaround | 17:23 |
| ogra | it should have set up a swap partition during partitioning while installing | 17:24 |
| ido- | well i dont know if it did | 17:25 |
| ogra | use the "free" command | 17:25 |
| crevette | hello | 17:25 |
| ogra | it should show you if there is a swap partition in use | 17:25 |
| ido- | no swap parition | 17:26 |
| ido- | would a swap file help ? | 17:26 |
| ogra | not for hibernate afaik ... but my info might be outdated | 17:26 |
| ido- | hrm. what do i search to find out ? | 17:27 |
| ogra | well, just create one and try out | 17:27 |
| ido- | my touch screen works now btw, so that should be fixed in ubuntu.. | 17:27 |
| ogra | did the .fdi change i suggested help ? | 17:28 |
| ogra | or did you have to do more ? | 17:28 |
| ido- | no, i dont think that did it | 17:28 |
| ido- | but it might have to do with it | 17:28 |
| ogra | well, what exactly did you do to make it work apart from the .fdi change ? | 17:29 |
| ido- | i blacklisted the usbtouchscreen module | 17:29 |
| ogra | i cant add a fix if i dont know what else was involved | 17:29 |
| ogra | hrm | 17:29 |
| ido- | and i added a rule with /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules | 17:29 |
| ido- | i think i left the fdi thingy too, so it might have helped | 17:29 |
| ogra | thats dead technology that was just ripped out :/ | 17:29 |
| ido- | though so | 17:30 |
| ido- | so i'll remove it | 17:30 |
| ido- | and restart | 17:30 |
| ido- | and see if it still works | 17:30 |
| ogra | that would be good | 17:30 |
| ido- | and if it does, then its the blacklist + fdi probably | 17:30 |
| ogra | well, usbtouchscreen should be what handles it on kernel level | 17:30 |
| ido- | seems that it interferes.. | 17:31 |
| ido- | because blacklisting it helped | 17:31 |
| ido- | is there a different module ? | 17:32 |
| ogra | weird | 17:32 |
| ido- | rebooting.. | 17:32 |
| ogra | usbtouchscreen is a merge of the touchkitusb, itmtouch and mtouchusb drivers | 17:32 |
| ogra | since you have a touchkit it should be the right driver for it | 17:33 |
| ogra | and it definately is on my Q1U | 17:33 |
| ido- | true | 17:33 |
| ido- | lemme see which module is loaded | 17:33 |
| ido- | ok | 17:36 |
| ido- | i'm not sure which one it is | 17:36 |

| Whatsinaname | Hello, I used winimage to put image on flash drive, but it wont boot to it. Am I missing something? I really want to try UMPC version on my acer apire one. | 18:51 |
| Whatsinaname | its the ubuntu-8.10-mid-lpia.img | 18:53 |
| Whatsinaname | is anyone here? | 18:54 |
| ian_brasil | Whatsinaname: you need the umpc image | 18:55 |
| Whatsinaname | Oh. | 18:56 |
| ian_brasil | not the lpia one | 18:56 |
| ian_brasil | i am running umpc on an aspire one | 18:56 |
| ido_ | יר | 18:57 |
| ido_ | hr | 18:57 |
| Whatsinaname | Ok searching for it now. But should the lpia one have booted? | 18:57 |
| Whatsinaname | Just got AAO yesterday. lovin it now. | 18:57 |
| Whatsinaname | Just not sure if using winimage I have to do anything different to make it a bootable usb. | 19:01 |
| ogra | Whatsinaname, http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/intrepid/release/ | 19:04 |
| Whatsinaname | thanks orga, I have seen that and am now downloading proper image. but I am on a windows machine currently and was wondering if I have to do something special to get it to boot from the usb. (other than just puting image on usb drive with winimage.) | 19:06 |
| Whatsinaname | It will be interesting to contrast/compare this verses the netbook remix. playing with new toys is fun. :) | 19:07 |
| ogra | there are soe tools for win ... rawwrite should work or there is also DD for windows i heard | 19:07 |
| ido_ | there is dd for windows | 19:13 |
| Whatsinaname | hmm now to just figure out dd lol | 19:20 |
| ogra | http://www.chrysocome.net/dd | 19:23 |
| ido_ | dd for windows ? | 19:23 |
| ogra | dd if=c:\temp\<your downloaded image>.img of=\\.\<device letter of your usb key>: bs=1024 | 19:24 |
| Whatsinaname | hehe I am so noob, cant get dd to be recognized | 19:31 |
| * ogra goes afk | 19:34 | |
| Whatsinaname | I get error opening output file: 2 the system cannot find teh file specified | 19:39 |
| ian_brasil | Whatsinaname: supply the complete path? | 19:42 |
| rrittenhouse | I'm looking into these "Netbooks" in hopes of getting one for xmas from the wife. I am looking at the Acer Aspire AOA150 and the EEEPC 1000. Which would be a good choice? I'm looking to put "Ubuntu Mobile" on whichever one I get. | 19:50 |
| rrittenhouse | This may not be the perfect room to ask this in but I thought I would give it a shot for some opinions. | 19:52 |
| ian_brasil | i have put ubuntu mobile on both.. x11perf test results showed the 512 atom on the acer aspire outperformed the 1GB celeron eeepc...however both rock IMO | 19:52 |
| rrittenhouse | The Acer aspire has a slightly smaller screen but I think I could handle that for it being cheaper.... | 19:53 |
| rrittenhouse | ian_brasil, So If I buy the Windows version at staples I should be OK? | 19:59 |
| ian_brasil | well there are lots of reports of the lower cost linux varieties being out of stock so people get XP versions and put ubuntu on them | 20:00 |
| ido_ | hey | 20:00 |
| ian_brasil | particularly in australia it seems | 20:00 |
| bicyclist | On the topic of netbooks i myself own an eeepc 900a and use ubuntu eee on it . | 20:16 |
| bicyclist | Most watching me work with it are very impresse on what is possible. | 20:17 |
| ido_ | hey orga.. | 20:20 |
| ido_ | I have a few inputs on umpc edition | 20:21 |
