Summit
Defensive software for OEM installs
2012-05-09 16:15..17:00 in G. Ballroom C
We’re aiming to make Ubuntu more resilient against hardware failures, with a focus on OEM-preinstalled Ubuntu. For example, an invalid CMOS time/date value can cause the system to fail in various unexpected ways.
The purpose of this session is to define which problems may arise due to:
- "Sitting on the shelf" problems, eg RTC battery going flat
- General mass-production issues
- Missing drivers due to subtle SKU alterations
- Low-memory situations
-
Corruption during factory pre-load
-
or any other areas that we can identify during the session. We'll be aiming to outline potential solutions to these issues, and carry out that development work in the Q timeframe.
