Hi! I haven't been following this list before, but searching the archives did not produce any hits. If the topic has been handled earlier please excuse and give me a pointer.
I wonder whether it makes any sense to use PA on a WeTab and/or ExoPC? Does anybody do that and is the platform still actively developed or is that HW just stuff for the museum? I finally installed PA during the Christmas break, first on an ExoPC. After it became unusable after 2-3 days (don't remember which was the exact problem, something from the list below) I digged out a WeTab and installed it there. However, it did not go much better. Since then the devices have mainly collecting dust, because at best they could offer a hard-core debugging experience. The worst problems are: - In some phase start-up time increased drastically from the not so good but probably normal 2-3 minutes to something like 15-20 minutes. Currently both devices are in that state. From the log I spotted some D-Bus problems, not sure whether they could cause the extensive delays. - In some phase auto-suspend started to activate itself after ~3 seconds. Again this happened to both devices. After throwing the device into the corner (not physically) for a couple of times I got over it a few days later, not really sure how. - Touch is extremely unreliable at times. Probably 70% of the time it works nearly perfect or at least well, but the remaining 30% is awful. It accepts either no touch at all or at a completely random location. From the net I found that touchscreen firmware can be updated: http://wetabz.blogspot.fi/2011/03/upgrading-touchscreen-firmware-to-1006h.html Can I find out under Mer what version I have? Has anybody done the update successfully under Mer? - Connecting to WLAN with WPA has become a nightmare. Only serious fiddling with a combination of network manager and my own manual instance of wpa_supplicant were successful recently. - The power button does not work anymore. Well, systemctl poweroff is not so difficult to type, even on the virtual keyboard... I have run "zypper up" at at least 2 occasions, yesterday I got about 90 updated packages. But at least the 15-20 minute startup time remained unaffected (I read that others turned their devices unbootable, so probably mine was a good update...) Unfortunately I have not kept any history what got updated and when. So I guess if I don't hide the devices in the lowest layer of the electronic garbage pile soon, I should make a fresh installation. Are the repos configured in the October images still the ones to use are do I need different ones? All insights welcome! Uwe P.S. I don't expect a 100% working product, but the boot time and the touch mess are more than I am willing to tolerate. Of course if others are actively working on these issues I might contribute a bit from time to time, but mainly testing and taking logs. Realistically I don't have the time to dig really deep. _______________________________________________ Active mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active
