Defensive software for OEM installs
Registered by
Jeremy Kerr
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.
