MOBLIN v2.0, The Moblin GARAGE, and Moblin v2.1

Like many others, I simply can't connect to my WPA2 network (On moblin 2.1) I am loathe to change the encryption on my router, and I *really* like the distro and want to keep it. Is there a solution/workaround?

I have installed moblin 2. Can anyone please tell me where can i find clutter libraries.

Anyone else have this problem and know now to fix it?

Thanks!
Dave

I installed moblin 2.0, and all work except for 3G and bluetooth. Today I just tried 2.1, and have done 73 updates, and found that my internal mic is no longer working. Can anybody help me please?

Wifi seems to have problem as well, as occassionally it disconnect and I have to manually connect it again

Finally I was able to boot daily build of Moblin 2.1 dated 20091008 - before it did not boot, each time getting stuck after loading up Moblin's wallpaper. My wifi is not supported, but ethernet is recognized. I did not play much with it because I couldn't go far without wifi.

Currently using Ubuntu Moblin Remix created for Dell.

Works on inspiron mini 9 dell netbook?

Is there any changelog for the new 2.1 releases?

My Changelog:

WPA2 Wlan still Connectec
Status in Messenger can change and on first boot you can create an account
Wired Network on eee 1005ha work

I have successfully installed the OpenOffice into the Moblin v2.0. However, how could I add the shortcut of the programs inside the OpenOffice into the "Application" list in desktop of Moblin?

Saw adverse comments on the built in browser. I tried firefox and thunderbird. But they take up so much screen space. Particularly the new thunderbird release with its own ThunderBrowser will need some kind of joystick to speed around the screen and still read something. Whereas the built in browser and email client are nice. Only problem is when you actually want to respond to some email. The display and writing sections are separate and that is really clumsy.

So, is Moblin on Netbook is an advance competition for the "smartbook" that the telecom networks will soon start pushing?

One area where improvements are always welcome is the management of the address book. With a built in SyncML (which is the highlight of Moblin, for me) there could be more innovation to the address book. Already it is much better than many PIMs (in both windows and linux worlds), but the gold standard would be the extinct Palm Desktop. No one ever has been able to match it (my opinion). Contact/ address management is the core of PIM, and it should be linked to Calendar also.

I 've installed on my MSI Wind but the Wifi card is not working out of the box :(

I want it so much!
Can I install this OS on Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Li 1718?

The MD5 of my Moblin 2.0 Final download checks against what is posted here
I am using this procedure on XP
1. Boot as administrator
2. Use Panasonic SD formatting utility to ensure a clean SD
3. Use Win 32 Disk Imager to write the image to SD
4. When it's done, exit out of Win 32 Disk Imager
5. Safely remove the SD from XP

When I try to boot in my 901, using ESC to select the SD card, I get:
~
[ 7.770091] SQUASHFS error: squashfs_read_data failed to read block 0x2cb0e2ec
[ 7.774428] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read metadata cache entry [2cb0e2ec]
[ 7.778715] SQUASHFS error: Unable to read inode 0x8d980dd8
mount: /dev/loop2: can't read superblock
Bug in initramfs /init detected. Dropping into a shell. Good luck!
Bash-3.2#

This happens with multiple SD cards, and H2Testw says the cards are good.
This exact same procedure produces SD cards that boot OK when used with the 20090721 and 20090802 release.
It fails the same way with the 20090821 release.
It fails the same way in my 1000ha

I have tried the following with no effect

• set both 901 SDDs to Not Installed in the BIOS
• set boot from Removable Disk first in the BIOS
• thinking it might be a conflict with GRUB on one of the SDDs, I restored the 901 from the XP recovery disk

Update: I used ImgBurn in XP to burn the Moblin 2.0 Final img to a DVD disk, and it WILL boot from this disk on my 901. At some point, I got my external drive locked up in some state where it would not boot anything from it. After I resolved that, it will repeatably boot from the disk. If you have the SD described above in the 901 at the same time as you are trying to boot from the DVD, it will get confused and fail, but otherwise the DVD boots reliably. The SD will not boot under any circumstances I have as yet tried.

UPDATE: It will install to the 901 SSD from the DVD, and works hugely better than off of the DVD. In fact, I am adding this update from Moblin. I did want to run it from a live SD though, because I don't really have enough space in my 901 to leave it on the SSD.

actual moblin v2.0 doesn't work. will this new netbook plaform (intel/nvidia) be supported in next release like 2.1 ?

To the one who asked if Moblin was released: Did you even read the posting you commented on?

I am totally in love with Moblin. I just started using it and it is great. Just put some elbow grease into getting the kinks and bugs out first. Once the kinks and bugs are out you can start working on some App advancement.

Facebook, WordPress, Digg, Reddit, the other social stuff.

Man .. Moblin is way better then I thought.

Main gripes:
I would like a shelf of some kind so I can access windows in the same zone easier.
Cannot min or maximize. Minimize is not as important as maximize. What to do about the top bar I wonder.
The minor bugs.

Great work!! And as a previous membor of the Canonical forums I totally see the inspiration of the Dell Mini community. Layout looks familiar, XFCE is part of the package. We were heard!

The booting comes to halt with only the wallpaper showing, ive tried different memory sticks, both 2.0 and 2.1 images and everything.

same error messages as with other HP netbooks below.

Somehow I think it's a bad idea to call it stable version. There are way too many bugs, so new users, that think it's safe to use it, will be surprised, that so many thing don't work.

Besides that Moblin seriously needs GOOD repository with atleast gstreamer plugins, so we can listen things that media player indexes (seriously - what's the point of showing user that he has for instance Iron Maiden album, if it is in mp3 and moblin doesn't have codecs to play that?).

I saw someone saying that we can compile needed plugin on our own. Compiling? On Atom Processor? Wouldn't try that ! (well, I did, but it took to long, and in the end there were errors, so I gave up)

I'm trying to run GMA500 on viliv S5. And Moblin version is 2.0.
From now, I could run X window but didn't run any other moblin applications including Mutter.
Is there anybody can operate GMA500 on Moblin?

I can't take the lack of support for the GMA500. Linux driver support is no where near that of Windows. Also the currently available Windows driver for XP does not support opengl 2.0. XBMC and Boxee wont run without it. Please add a stable, and fully functional gma500 driver to moblin; I want to use moblin!

I've tried several of the beta refreshes over the months and even with the final build I'm still not able to connect to my network via wireless on my A150. I always end up with the "connection failed" message.

So eh... I'm confused what exactly is this OS supposed to be for? It surely cannot be targeted towards netbooks as it hardly supports any. OK that's a small (and I do mean small) exaggeration. A lot of people in my circles still believe this to be a kickass system for netbooks even though only a few has been able to actually get it running on their respective netbooks.

Intel, get your head out of your ... and add support for your own damn GMA500 geez!
