[ivalic3riversaly]

I had Moblin operating system, but could not play MP3 files. I had to buy the codecs. What would be practical would be a software center as in Ubuntu. So you can re-install the missing codecs for free.

Moblin is a very good operating system. When it is mature more, I want it back on my netbook.

Or is there a possibility that costs nothing to play MP3 files?

cheers

[setlec]

@MetSaufenderThorson you have any other experience on linux? because it surprise me that someone that used a linux based OS wihtout searching on the net for alternative soft for playing audio/video files on that particular OS.

[murfad]

is it possible to launch meego from a usb-drive without any permanent installation?

[w4csc]

@murfad

Yes, I'm running Meego for Netbooks off a 16GB SDHC card plugged into a USB adapter so the Samsung NC10 will boot to it, first, by simply changing the boot load sequence on startup. The card was made from the image copy as per the good instructions here:

/devices/netbook/installing-me­ego-your-netbook

Then you just change the bootup to include the USB flash before booting from hard disk. Meego runs great, what there is of it with no software yet. Chrome runs great.

[murfad]

@w4csc cool thanks! i'll try it on my netbook (have a nc10 as well :D )

[twinesdr]

@w4csc hello, I have a NC10 too, but I cannot boot the MeeGo image from SD lol Is there any setting need to go on the bios or somethings?

[w4csc]

@twinesdr You must do two things to make it boot. It will not boot from the SD card slot, only USB. Plug the SD card with the image on it into a USB SD card adapter. Then, you must open the bootup control by pressing F1 several times to get into the boot Eprom before Windows starts and change the bootup sequence to include the USB card BEFORE it goes to the hard drive to bootup Windows. It's in the BIOS, press F1 until you see the BIOS screens. It'll find Meego first after this.

[twinesdr]

@w4csc I did it on a USB thumb by win32diskimager. It seems like there are no way to boot from the SD card slot of the NC10 lol anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

[oompaloompajezuz]

very shit quality video

[velthon]

Try cc and see what he says :P

[strike4may]

what is this netbook it look awesome

[sprucepantherkmt]

demo group in bejieng, huh?  there go our jobs america!

[RobeSlack]

Waw.. I think I should install it on a notebook. . .

[VampireEntertainment]

So it is pretty much Moblin but nicer?

[dodow1234]

how about the battery life? My laptop will die in about 30 minutes without that goddamn power brick

[statquo112]

thats why apple will never grow beyond their 'innovations'

[juan2968]

excelente meego, realmente a la espera de meego en smartphones :) viva GNU/Linux

[voltune]

Linux FTW!

[nikolaicholev]

@voltune MeeGo is so stupid...

My friend has Acer with MeeGo and he wants to go on Windows but he can't somebody help :S

[Keruaran]

@nikolaicholev

"MeeGo is so stupid..."

Reasons given? None.

"My friend has Acer with MeeGo and he wants to go on Windows but he can't somebody help :S"

If your friend wanted Windows he should have bought a system that came with Windows. Many new smartbooks and tablets are not designed to run Windows; It's a different market segment. Would you buy an iPad and then complain you can't run Windows on it? No, wait... you probably would... Windows users are that retarded...

[00Gr1mm00]

@Keruaran you cant say that everyone who is using windows is a retard

its just very retarded to expect a netbook that came with meego to run windows

windows itself is ok.There many dumb people out there.but you cant say that everyone who uses an OS you dont like is retarded.

exept for Mac OS(just a joke)

[DjChronokun]

@nikolaicholev considering MeeGo 1.0 hasn't been released yet he must have installed it on there himself, unless you are talking complete shit of course.

[jumanous]

@nikolaicholev yeah.. you should have no problem installing windows 7 off a usb stick. There are tutorials around, google is your friend.

[mukiex]

@nikolaicholev

Meego hit 1.0 a couple of days ago. Acers don't COME with Meego. He either bought a used laptop with it or did it himself.

Call Acer, have them send you a "recovery disc" (essentially a Windows install disc) for the laptop model he has. It'll cost a few bucks for shipping and you'll need a USB DVD drive, but that's your best bet right now.

[bigbrovar]

Maybe some things have taken place under the hood but this is still plain ol moblin to me.. the UI is exactly moblin nothing different.

[Toffelielain]

@bigbrovar Nokia's phone UIs will look different! There are some Harmattan UI screens somewhere.

[bigbrovar]

@Toffelielain yeah it would. but even maemo6 is still just maemo in branding not in technology same as moblin 2.3(?) both would still retain the technologies of their individual platform before the merger. we can only start to see a real moblin after the release of maemo6

[seridyan]

@bigbrovar there is no maemo6...

[Keruaran]

@bigbrovar I think it will take time before you notice any radical change... And I think Meego is more an umbrella name for the combined project in general...

[grumwalski]

Mee-Go buy one of those soon..

[eothred]

Looking forward to more previews! :) I am just praying that they will manage to transfer all the greatness that already lies within the Maemo project...

[subzerohackmaster]

What OS is that android ?

[sxpacks]

@subzerohackmaster The OS is called Meego It can be installed on your netbook and your phone.

[sxpacks]

@sxpacks google meego and you can download it right now

[UnleashTehNoob]

@sxpacks uh... not quite. It's extremely frowned upon to encourage people to download MeeGo at this stage, as it's still a developer code drop, with nothing but a terminal.

[subzerohackmaster]

@sxpacks What is it based on Linux ?

[sxpacks]

@subzerohackmaster Yes Meego is based on Linux. It's opensource and free to download. When your phone, Laptop and TV all run Meego, Many doors open :)

Meego OS takes about 3-4 seconds to boot.

[minipcpro]

@sxpacks Where did you hear 3-4 seconds? I've seen it boot and it wasn't that fast. Are those projected numbers for the final release?

[dickywahyu]

@minipcpro yes i've tried the moblin one ... it boots very fast ... the meego's gui is very similar to moblin

[sxpacks]

@minipcpro as of now those are projected boot times. Moblin boot time was aimed for 2 seconds :)

[kl0xY]

@subzerohackmaster Linux bro!
