Ubuntu 10.10 user experience with broadband datacards
by Nishit Dave 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hello List, I have downloaded the Ubuntu 10.10 Desktop and alternate install ISO images last night. I'm posting this from a bootable USB pendrive installation (with persistence) of Maverick while on the road. I have two broadband datacards - Huawei EC1262 from Reliance Netconnect and ZTE AC2766 from MTS MBlaze. Both have started working 'out-of-the-box' through network manager. Earlier (10.04 Lucid), I had to run through a lot of trial-and-error, even after compiling and installing the latest usb_modeswitch version, in order to connect to the internet. I have earlier posted about only the ZTE AC2766 working with network manager, while the Huawei EC1262 only worked with wvdial, and that too, after frequent attempts. Now, all I have to do is plug the card in the USB slot, (wait for a few seconds to see the appropriate LED start flashing), and then launch network manager on the Gnome panel, as usb_modeswitch is included by default. What is more, without having to wait for the appropriate connection option to appear, I have to just 'Add' a connection to the 'Mobile Broadband' tab under the 'Edit connections' option. The resulting dialog droid does not show you your modem brand / model initially, but you have to just click 'Next' and select India from the list of countries. Thereafter, you are presented with a list of service providers using your specific brand and model of modem. Next step, just enter the default username and password supplied by your provider, and you're ready to go. You sometimes also get a confirmation of your provider and model on the Finish page of the dialog. In terms of operating experience, the MTS connection drops off suddenly and in a short time, while the Reliance one has been steady for a while now. I must also mention that I downloaded the ISO torrents on my Reliance connection with an average download speed better 180 kpbs. My first impression of Maverick is that the performance seems snappier. The System>Appearance dialog now has the Visual Effects tab included by default, so you can go and choose your compiz effects level immediately. That is all I have time for right now, and obviously many of the early adopters among you will have something to add by way of comments.

Touch Screen Driver Issue [question]
by Paul Schwarz 07 Oct '10

07 Oct '10

Hi Group, I pose the following dilemma and look forward to enthusiastic discussions. As mentioned in a previous e-mail to you'll, we have developed an embedded PC with a touch screen. This device runs on a RMI, Alchemy processor (AU1250) and its touch screen is connected to this CPU via an ADS7843 chip and through the SPI bus. So far so good and pretty standard. The system originally ran on WinCE5.0 (Booooo!) and we are currently porting it to Linux. Now the problem that we are facing is that after the first 3-4 touch events, no more touch events are recorded after that and the sensitivity of the clicks is very weak. Lastly, when the screen is touched while a video is playing the video and audio pause for the duration of the touch. One of the reasons for why we are having problems with the screen's response, could be that the aforementioned SPI connection is multiplexed (74CBELV3257) with an on-board battery and RTC (DS1339) - see page 9 of the attached schematics. I would really appreciate any guidance someone can give based on prior experience. Please see the schematics and the touch screen driver code for reference (http://drop.io/g8hz909). Since we are based out of Bombay we could also meet up and discuss this in further detail. Of course, we are willing to compensate high-quality assistance that leads to eventual resolution of the problem. Thank you guys very much in advance. Have fun, Paul

Hello! I have recently joined one of the IT startups and just completed my Engg. I am a bit aware of Linux, had some hands on Fedora. I want to get into this Linux world and learn about it. Linux is some Platform I see myself in eventually. Would I get to work on some good, cool projects in correspondence? I am ready to take efforts. Also, I would like to volunteer for LUG-Bom!! How am I supposed to approach for it? Proper guidelines would be really appreciable! -Regards Sugandha!
