 Hi
 
 I am trying to setup a development environent for PA using an ExoPC tablet. 
 The only way till now was to install the Meego based image, but this solution 
 is not appropriate for development since the repositories are scarce in 
 packages.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for, but I have PA running on the 
EXOPC under Kubuntu and it's working just fine as far as I can tell. I 
downloaded the Kubuntu Active image here  
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu-active/releases/12.04/release/

My EXOPC is actually booting five operating systems off the 64Gb SSD right now, 
so it's a pretty good development environment (smile): MeeGo/Wetab, Ubuntu 
(Unity and Gnome), Kubuntu (PA), Windows 8 Release Preview (Metro UI), and 
Android x-86.  I wrote this article outlining the general guidelines on how to 
get the EXOPC to multi-boot

Installing plasma active (PA) on Balsam Professional fails

2012-06-25 Thread Bogdan Cristea
Hi

I am trying to setup a development environent for PA using an ExoPC tablet. 
The only way till now was to install the Meego based image, but this solution 
is not appropriate for development since the repositories are scarce in 
packages.

I have followed the instructions for installing PA on Balsam Professional with 
Balsam-Professional-12.1-USB-Install-i586.img and 
http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation#Installation_on_Balsam_Professional,
 
but after installing PA from repository the KDE desktop becomes unusable.

Trying to install PA from source seems to be difficult, because one needs to 
compile first KDE. I have tried several times, but with no luck and there are 
no clear instructions on PA site.

So, I think that we need a development environment for PA based on some well 
known Linux distribution (personally I prefer openSUSE) if we want to have 
more applications developed for this platform. 

Please share your thoughts and experiences.

regards

Our prefered way is to install the PA2 Image, and then updating via the 
Repositories like described there: http://community.open-
slx.com/articles.php?article_id=398
But thank you very much, we have to update the Link.

I don't think that can be. openSUSE don't support PA anymore.

If you need more information don't hesitate to ask :-)

Thank you, actually the install instructions exist on PA site, but they are 
among all other install options. This is exactly what I need, I would put this 
option (install PA2 with balsam, then update) as an option for developpers.
