Enabling UMTS on Archos G9 in Plasma Active
Hi all, we added 3G/UMTS support to our latest Archos Gen9 Plasma Active devel and testing images. Great thanks to Ruediger Gad who did this work and also published accurate dokumentation about on http://ruedigergad.com/2012/10/07/enabling-umts-on-archos-g9-in-plasma-active/#more-566 Latest weekly Testing and Devel images should already contain all needed parts to get the external Archos 3G UMTS stick running out of the box: http://share.basyskom.com/plasma-active/archos_gen9.html Also If you like to try it out on a previous installed release image, just do following steps in 'Konsole' application: mer@device# su root@device# zypper ar -f http://repo.pub.meego.com/Project:/KDE:/Mer_Extras:/Adaptation:/Archos-gen9/Project_KDE_Trunk_Testing_0.20120816.1_armv7l/ Archos_gen9_testing root@device# zypper refresh root@device# zypper up Please note, a kernel update to the flash is mandatory to get the 3G/UMTS support working. Sadly for lack of this stick I'm not able to verify it on my own, but I cannot find any regressions yet. Feedback would be very nice, so we can make this update available to release image repository.

Re: Reopening development
Marco hi, in my opinion we should clean up the changes files inside OBS before. This means dropping all automatically CI entries till last release. I would suggest a replacement by an qualified changelog entry, but sadly have no time to do it on my own. So far I know the osc commands like 'osc commit' get stuck very often when the changes files are too big. Please drop me a line when I should switch CI to other branches.

Hallo, I am a long time KDE-user on Debian Sid and have Plasma-Active on my

meego and mer weekly builds from basykom and the latest iso from balsam.
First I like to point out, the MeeGo based image are outdated and not supported
anymore.
Now I have installed PA3 and maybe it is interesting for you, when I give
feedback. But first, I want to thank you all for the great work. I hope, there
will be hardware soon.
The first thing, I want to make a remark on, is the installer. Is there a way,
to get PA3 installed, without a usb-keybord? I think, that is importeant for
the normal user.
Following steps should work from Plasma Active live mode:
su
export PATH=${PATH}:/sbin:/usr/sbin
installer-shell
By the way, what is the diffrence between the iso from 14.10.2012 and the
iso.1 from 15.10.2012?
There was no difference and the already removed name.1 files are
unneeded dublicated artifacts.
Great thanks for your feedback!

Oh, that would work? So we should put that on the installation Wiki page then,
as having to attach a USB keyboard for installation may really be an obstacle
for some people (for example those who use only a laptop and don't even own a
USB keyboard anymore).
Yes, it works and I already added this to

For mere mortals, what does this do? (It's always a good idea to note that, since not everybody in a multi- disciplinary team has the same domain knowledge.) this command modifies the ID inside the partition table. This kind of hack is needed because a WeTab without patched bios do only like to start from a internal recovery partition after using the recovery grip. This hex number is the identifier of the internal recovery partition and by this we are able to install from a external flash drive.

Weekly Mer based x86 Plasma Active Images
Hi all, by now we are building and publishing x86 Mer images on every friday evening. If you like to modify the image layout or package setup, you can easly do it by changing the related kickstart file in following repository: Repo URL: git://anongit.kde.org/plasma-active-kickstart Branch: master File: legacy-kickstarts/basyskom-plasma-active-devel-mer-usb-live-x86.ks (devel image) File: legacy-kickstarts/basyskom-plasma-active-testing-mer-usb-live-x86.ks (testing image) In case of an broken image build you will also get informed on this list with containing build log. Sadly the testing image build is broken by missing dependencies. So far I see NetworkManager-kde on Project:KDE:Trunk:Testing needs to be updated from Project:KDE:Devel. Sadly my time for Plasma Active is very restricted, so if you like to take over some responsibilities for system integration and packaging, please do not hesitate to contact me.

We like to ship this state into the 'Project:KDE:Trunk project' asap which is the package feed of our MeeGo/Mer end-user like images. This state is represented by several 'testing' marked images with '2012-03-27' timestamp prefix. Today, I put myself in an end-user position again: I installed the plasma active two stable meego image (basyskom-plasma-active- two-meego-usb-live.iso) and - without changing anything beforehand - ran zypper ref and zypper up (maybe that's not what an end-user is supposed to do, but it's possible and does not come with a warning, and I don't know of a safer way to update). This left my system in a pretty buggy state: The task switcher does not display thumbnails (i.e. it does not work), the top bar is black with a grey border and I could not add Berlin_Routes.pdf to an activity. This is not what I call well tested and improved. Great thanks for testing this scenario and congratulations to find this update issue. It would be very nice if you could also file a bug for this. The problem with task switcher happens probably because the ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc is configured with a different tabbox layout. The one we use now is: [TabBox] LayoutName=window_strip PA2 uses LayoutName=thumbnails in ~/kde/share/config/kwinrc, we need to edit that file to fix this problem. I will see if we can use kconf_update for that. The other problem is still an open issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=292820 . Today I've added a patch to kdelibs that seems to workaround the problem (needs more testing). Maybe the code works if compiled as a testing image, but that's not the realistic use-case. What has to actually work is that an end-user who installed the latest stable image available (which currently is PA 2) can update her system in order to receive bug fixes. Maybe we can't get that in PA2 anymore, but this should definitely be our aim for PA3: If a user updates her stable system from the stable repositories, it has to have fewer bugs afterwards, not more. Sorry for the rant. I don't have a problem with a buggy system personally, but once we have actual end-users using and updating their devices and they get what I got today, they ain't gonna be happy. We need more people testing the upgrade process and reporting bugs. I'm not happy about this situation too and this might be just the peak of an iceberg, but this is the why we need people testing different kind of scenarios. I would really like to see a kind of public test checklist and more people who get involved into testing. Thanks for your feedback! Cheers Maurice -- Lamarque V.

Re: Updating Project:KDE:Trunk project on build.pub.meego.com
Definitely. And for that, we need a process for testing the upgrade process _before_ end-users can gain access to the updated packages. Would installing the the last stable image, switching to the Testing repository and then updating be the correct way? This seems to be a good work-flow to test the update process. ___ Active mailing list Active@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/active
