MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Obuntu M92 preview images

Well, after following this thread for a while I finally tried installing Obuntu (17-08-2013 version). It works great! Much faster and more usable than I expected, and I really like how 'quiet' an eink screen is compared to a regular computer monitor.

So far I am using x11vnc to interact with my M92 (actually an Icarus eXcel), but it seems like people have also had success using a USB keyboard and a powered hub? I have tried that but it hasn't worked so far. I tried creating and running a script like crazydog but it seems that the keyboard isn't recognized (dmesg output is below).

I was wondering if someone could confirm that USB keyboard works with the 17-08-2013 version? Also, does anyone know if an OTG USB cable is necessary? Any ideas on what might be wrong would be super appreciated.
