[OT/HW] Installing Linux on the new Celeron based mini ITX boards
by Arun Khan 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Atom cpu boards are hard to find and they are expensive. I am considering buying the newer Celeron (J1800 and J1900 CPUs) based mini ITX boards from Biostar/Gigabyte. Reading the reviews on various e-stores, people have faced issues installing the OS. Please share your Linux experience in case you have installed Linux on these boards.

ubuntu 14.04 on mac book air 6,2?
by Uday P. Khedker 21 Jan '15

21 Jan '15

I am using Ububtu 14.04 on my mac book because I wanted a smooth transition from my lenovo t61 and I am happy with the transition. However, there are a couple of problems for which I am looking for suggestions. * I am unable to get the display through vga out for connecting to a projector. Has anyone tried it? * It appears that apple has moved the webcam from usb based interface to PCI and so I am unable to use the built-in webcam (an external webcam works fine) in Ubuntu. This is lesser of the problem but would appreciate hearing any suggestions for this too. Thanks and regards, Uday Khedker. -- signature.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dr. Uday Khedker, Professor Department of Computer Science & Engg.

gnowsys : embedded : deployment platform : advice solicited
by Mayuresh Kathe 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

i am initiating work on delivering an embedded variant of gnowsys [1] which i intend to complete by december 2016. for the same, i will be re-writing the entire gnowsys stack such that it is geared towards a proper decentralized control model instead of the existing centralized one [2]. the completed project would be targeted to be run on low cost compute systems like the raspberry pi to afford wider adoption by virtue of them being more economically viable than real servers or even desktops. given all of the above, and the fact that i have very little knowledge about hardware level stuff, i request information about; 1. ways in which r-pi based system be wirelessly networked without human intervention, something like creating mesh networks which can auto-discover other nodes using zeroconf. 2. a feasible approach to deploying such nodes in regions with bad electrical and network infrastructure. also, i need a custom designed linux based distribution with the following characteristics; 1. minimal disk footprint (within 8mb), 2. low memory usage (within 4mb), 3. low electrical power consumption, 4. high security (am quite fascinated by the 'olpc' model). this is targeted to be free software, both, as in speech and beer. collaborators interested in working on the above are most welcome to contact me, either on the list or off it. best regards, ~mayuresh 1. http://www.gnu.org/software/gnowsys/ 2. http://www.gnowledge.org/
