| SirGlacious | hello, I'm planning a car-computer, does ubuntu-umpc is suitable for this task? has anyone tried it? | 02:32 |
|---|---|---|
| persia | There are a few people who have reported trying both ubuntu-mid and ubuntu-umpc for carputers. | 02:35 |
| persia | Consensus seems to be that there are issues with all of the available GPS applications. | 02:35 |
| persia | If you don't need GPS that much, the choice comes down to whether you want an app-switcher and menu, or just one app at a time and a grid interface. | 02:36 |
| persia | In either case, there's a fair bit of customisation required to make it work well for a carpc. | 02:36 |
| SirGlacious | persia: do you know what kind of issues, I have a lilliput touch screen, are there drivers available on the distro? | 02:36 |
| persia | That I don't know. There's a live USB image though, so it's safe to try the basics without installing, if you can boot off USB. | 02:38 |
| persia | I believe that only devices supported by the "evtouch" driver work out of the box, and that you may need to fuss around a bit to get anything else working, but don't know which category is correct for that device. | 02:38 |
| SirGlacious | persia: thanks, I would like to help improve umpc for this task, maybe posting errors, or solutions, it's there a place to post? | 02:41 |
| persia | launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug | 02:42 |
| persia | Actually, it's almost always better to file bugs against specific packages, using something like ubuntu-bug, but that's *if* you know which package is affected. | 02:43 |
| persia | If you get a good patch, and want someone to take a look, mention it here, and if someone's around, they'll look. | 02:43 |
| SirGlacious | ok, thanks | 02:44 |
