My ExoPC Slate has a 32 bit CPU (i686), not x86_64. Hi Carl:
Thanks for looking at my bug. If I understand your email correctly, you suspect that the problem is that I'm using the 64-bit version of OpenSUSE 12.1? That may be the issue, but my understanding is that the Intel Atom N450 in the EXOPC has 64-bit support. Also: I had another EXOPC running OpenSUSE 12.1 64-bit / Plasma Active One and upgraded them to Plasma Active Two without issue. I started running into trouble when I tried clean installs in the last couple of days on these two other EXOPCs.
Happy Holidays, -Peter

Hi Peter, I'm delighted that you're experimenting with Plasma Active on the ExoPC. I'm not the swiftest cheetah in the race on this stuff. All I know is that I saw x86_64 and knew that I had installed 32 bit. My uname -m shows i686. Yet /proc/cpuinfo on the ExoPC, shows the lm flag, so you're probably right about the CPU. http://www.exopc.com/devices/ for ExoPC Slate...installed OS is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit Edition. Hmmm. Mine is working fine with 32 bit Balsam 12.1 iso image. One of the lead Plasma Active developers is associated with open-slx and works to make sure that their ISOs work right. The instructions at community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation say to install openSUSE 12.1 Live KDE via USB stick from the [link: openSUSE download page]. That kinda leaves it up to the user to decide the format--64 or 32 bit. However, I had good luck with the live Balsam ISO from open-slx. Link [download.open-slx.com/iso] on community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation>>Install Plasma Active on x86 Systems>>Live Images>>Balsam Professional this crash was in the windowstrip applet. this applet is not used/doesn't exist anymore. |
