LiveUSB should work. I installed on my atom board via liveUSB (although, i kept on getting 'boot error' messages... eventually it worked). I used the usb recovery tool that comes with ubuntu.

How do I know if it sees my GPS or not? I got no reaction from anything with the car parked outside. If I can check through the terminal, let me know what to do.

Makes sense what you're saying about post install. Since they're on your test list, I'm willing to install on my carpc for a day or two since I'm formatting and swapping mobos anyway.

you can listen to dbus-monitor:

Code:

dbus-monitor --system

if you get a bunch of stuff from /org/gpsd then it's working. You can also use xgps, which should show you the same stuff in a GUI.

I know I talked about this the other day, but...

The biggest thing I dislike about linuxICE so far is having to log into it. It's an appliance, just start X, and automatically log the user in. That login screen means that to use linuxICE in my car, I would *have* to have a keyboard plugged in, which kinda sucks.

chunkyks-
That's odd. I didn't have to log in when I tried it. I used the 20091021 image, and the beta2 dvd image. Sorry I can't provide any useful tips, unless you downloaded from the link on page 1 (see below).

kev-
Sorry I haven't updated you on the GPS thing. I'm waiting for my Zotac board to arrive in the mail, since Fry's doesn't carry it.

Also, I recommend updating the link in the first post. I started my download there as I was reading, but it wasn't until I got all the way to page 3 that I realized I had downloaded an ancient copy because you changed servers.

Chunky_Ks: after the install, run iceconfigure, enter your username and click "Go". This will post configure autologin, hibernate, and a bunch of other things so you won't have to use your keyboard. Someday, this will be a part of the installation, but for now, it's an acceptable workaround.

Code:

bash: iceconfigure: command not found

Oh, finally found it. Wasn't in any of the first three places I looked :-(

... gyah

Previously, to turn it off I was using Virtual Box's menu: Machine->ACPI Shutdown, which worked perfectly. Now I've run iceconfigure, I can't do that.

Additonally, I can't find the shutdown button.

chunky_ks, you are going to hate this but iceinstall changes the default shutdown via acpi to hibernate and i don't think vbox knows how to do that.

To get the shutdown menu, press back on the main nghost screen.

I tested gpsd in virtual box with my usb rec. It seems to be okay.
