One A110

According to the One website the A110 should have been shipped with a custom "Linpus" Linux distribution.

There are alternative distros around, many of which do not support all hardware of IL1 out of the box. A minimum startup effort only is required, if you launch SLAX 6 from USB stick, but there is no WLAN, no sound, no modem asf. it is quite fast though.

So far though, it looks like all users have gotten their A110 laptops with Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) pre-installed (which is also what the One website now says).

As of mid-June 2008 One is shipping an improved Linux version (on a USB thumb drive) on request. To order it you have to call the technical hotline (it's free). It's likely that newly ordered A110s will also come with this improved version pre-installed.

A110 delivered in July has a improved installation:

• correct resolution set (800x480)
• an unionfs over the squashed usr - that allows to install more software (write-data is saved into the directory /dynamic)

Original Ubuntu 8.04 OS

Default user/password

The default user is nutzer, with the default password of nutzer. You should change this ASAP, of course.

There is no root password, use sudo instead e.g. sudo passwd root.

Default .bash_history

The root and nutzer users both have a .bash_history file on the default install, likely created by the testers/developers before shipping the laptops. Reading the files is quite interesting to find out more about what non-standard drivers and software were installed and how.

Detailed Information / 2.6.24-18-generic

preinstalled kernel is 2.6.24-18-generic. get source snapshot from http://kernel.ubuntu.com . To get modem driver operational it is useful to patch ALSA.

(Gathered from pre-installed Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.24)

System update on USB thumb drive

One has sent to customers who had received a "non-final" OS on their A110 a system upgrade (still Ubuntu) on a USB thumb drive (free of cost).

The installation from the stick is quite simple:

• Boot the system from the stick
• login as root with password one
• Acknowledge two or three questions using the Enter key, and
• this will overwrite the complete disk with a new system and factory settings.

Resolved issues

• The screen resolution is now 800 x 480
• The card reader works (tested with a tomtom[tm] SD card)

Issues

• no modem driver
• UnionFS is installed (but not as /root/dynamic - thus disfunctional)
• WPA2 ?
• latest unichrome9 driver not yet installed
• No software sources are selected for updates (warning: see below).
• Updating the system via Synaptic (after adding main, universe and multiverse) will crash the system after a reboot. (unless you fix unionfs)

One A120

Airis Kira 740

In France, the Airis Kiras 740 is shipped by Phone House with preinstalled Windows XP version with an optional 3G+ dongle.

In a few months, the Airis Kiras 740 should be also available with preinstalled Mandriva version (Mandriva is working on the packaging of the drivers for the 3G+ dongle).
