Running on the ExoPC...
For the longest time, the Mer dev version worked great. I must have skipped some upgrades or somehow got out of synch. Now the latest Mer-dev image + upgrades does weird stuff with locking the screen...every 10 seconds or so. Interrupt the "locking in 5 seconds" slider; slide the unlock button up. And Plasma Active looks fine. But a few seconds later, there's a message that the screen is being locked and the "locking in 5 seconds" message appears again. Installed the latest plasma-active2 iso from open-slx as instructed in http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation. Looks fine. After zypper dup, the task bar is black with the Plasma icon showing behind the bluetooth icon. The Network Manager icon is back to a question mark icon. It looks not so good. I really want a version that can be demoed at a significant trade show. What is the best approach to get a Plasma Active installation that can be shown off to influential contacts? Carl |

I would recommend asking about this on the active@kde.org mailing list, as some Plasma Active developers use the ExoPC as a device to develop with I believe.

Hi Carl, Are you still around? did you ever figure out the solution to this problem? I also have screen locking issue. Thanks.

Yes, still around. In fact, I'm preparing to attend Qt Developer Days in Santa Clara California December 5-7. The trusty ExoPC will be there too ... and much, much more.
I no longer have the continuous sleep issue ... a lot has happened since then. Since installing the latest version of Plasma Active, the tablet has been working with no issues. It was necessary to do a complete reinstall of Plasma Active 3. That version uses Mer as the core OS. I was running openSUSE and MeeGo prior to that so zypper dup wouldn't work to get Mer. Mer + PA3 are highly recommended. Links at plasma-active.org or in the announcement on dot.kde.org. Carl |

I'm using the Mer build of PA3 and I have a similar problem: when you plug in the power charger, it tries to go to sleep. If you interrupt it going to sleep, it'll try to go to sleep again a short while later. However if you let it sleep, then wake it, it stays awake now - until you plug out your power and plug it in again.
