[02:32] <SirGlacious> hello, I'm planning a car-computer, does ubuntu-umpc is suitable for this task?  has anyone tried it?
[02:35] <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.
[02:36] <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?
[02:38] <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.
[02:41] <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?
[02:42] <persia> launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug
[02:43] <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.
[02:44] <SirGlacious> ok, thanks
[07:43] <lool> morning
[07:48] <crevette> salut lool
