Thread: LinuxICE Beta3

Hi Kev

First let me say that you are a legend. I have been monitoring this carPC progress for years now. Partly due to funds, and partly sue to maturity. I have decided to download the beta 3 version of openice. I have tried to install it and seem to get as far as a busybox terminal screen.

I am trying to install on a Dell Latitude D630. This is just a test system as i am waiting for my hardware to arrive.

Do you have any pointers for me?

I have now installed Ubuntu 8.04. I will download nGhost and see if i can get it all up and running.

TIA

Terry

Hi Kev,

I am working on getting my Sony UX UMPC up and running as a car PC, suitable for multiple cars. Without going into too much detail (theres more detail here, if you're interested; http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/linu...tu-car-pc.html) I also want it to be a fully functional PC when not docked in the car.

I fired up the live CD of your distro and it looks really good. There are lots of nice touches that I would like to replicate in my setup (I am not looking to make a distro). I also notice that your distribution is Ubuntu derived and wondered if you had any package repositories I could point my sources.list at in order to add elements of your distro' to my setup?

Also - do you have any details as to how to get Maemo apps running on x86 PC's. I have an N800, but would be very interested in CarMan and Canola. Any pointers would be very much appreciated.

Thanks

Dan

as for maemo apps, I usually just grab the source and compile it myself. If it's written in python (like carman and canola are), then it should work out of the box.

see ya!

Thanks Kev, much appreciated and I'd be happy to help with the testing.

I have now installed Carman - when I launch carman-gtk it presents the window from which I can create a new profile. If I select new, software simulator, then forward... it will go no further. The same thing happens with carman-sdl-launcher or carman-profile-manager

Code:

Is this an error you have come across at all?

Thanks
