Comment on Linux on a Toshiba NB200 by Paul Dallas

Worked straight away on my Omnibook NB200-10Z, running Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) with kernel 2.6.31-20 (generic). I did things a little differently:

1. Install the following packages using Synaptic:
- bzip2
- debhelper
- dpatch
- kernel-package
- make
- module-assistant
- build-essential

2. Download and double-click on omnibook-source_2.20070211+svn20090714b-3_all.deb, to install the package.

3. Open a terminal, su as root, and run
m-a a-i omnibook-source

4. UKOLN Dev Linux on a Toshiba NB200.html recommends the following are done:
modprobe omnibook ectype=12
echo 1 > /proc/omnibook/wifi
However, it doesn’t work. I have skipped this step.

5. As root, add the word “omnibook” to the end of /etc/modules

6. As root, create file /etc/modprobe.d/omnibook.conf, with the contents “options omnibook ectype=14″.

7. Reboot.

8. I installed the following (how useful these are is debateable):
- bluez-gnome
- blueman

Note that one has to go to the “systems” tab on the desktop, and then open the “Bluetooth” application.
For some reason it is not possible to send files. However, browse device and then copy and paste files at will.

Needless to say, a million “thank you”s!!

Comment on writeslike.us: identity information from repository metadata by David F. Flanders

I like the end user story, but don’t see how I can interact with the prototype myself? Who do I want to search or rather what data set is this searching? Also results are very confusing when I do type in the de fact “henderson” search, maybe add in thought bubbles overtop in a screenshot to explain why a user would want this information? Or maybe just do a screencast to simplify?

I like the logo, and QR codes <== except when I used one it gave me a numerical string that had no relevance?

This prototype seems so close to something that I think we could really show off to end users, please do finish off and fill in the last details as you really are really close to something worth showing off.

Especially the technical documentation which I would really like to see re algorithm used to generate community of people.

Hi Giridhar,

Both the packages seem to be available:
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/362618/omnibook-source_2.20070211%2Bsvn20071217-1_all.deb
and the one here: http://packages.kirya.net/packages.php?dist=sid

Hi Carlo,

Might be worth trying the more recent omnibook source from SVN (available from the kirya.net link)…

I have a toshiba nb200-10j, ubuntu jaunty. Wireless does not show or work.
I followed this steps:

apt-get install bzip2 debhelper dpatch kernel-package make module-assistant build-essential
mkdir /tmp/omnibook
cd /tmp/omnibook
wget http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/362618/omnibook-source_2.20070211%2Bsvn20071217-1_all.deb
dpkg -i omnibook-source_2.20070211+svn20071217-1_all.deb
m-a a-i omnibook-source
modprobe omnibook ectype=12
echo 1 > /proc/omnibook/wifi

but the last command (echo 1 etc…) gives me this:

bash: /proc/omnibook/wifi: No such file or directory

What shall I do? Thank you…
