Webcam, Cheese, Camorama, Vlc 0.92

Mailed from Mad to the 4:11 pm in Hardy Heron, hardware, software | no comment”

Own yesterday I have acquired a Logitech Quickcam Express Plus and must say that I have not had the minimal problem of installation and configuration. Ours “magic Ubuntu box” has supplied automatically to the loading of driver the necessary GSPCA to the operation of the gioiellino and has been able immediately to see my beautiful face on Cheese, Camorama and Vlc 0.92. To say the true one on these last ones I have had to take part with a little one setup:

I have had it to Camorama launch from shell with commando camorama - x 640 - y 480 - d=/dev/video1 (- x 640 - y 480 are parameters in order to set up a resolution higher than that than default) because from the menu of Gnome it came outside this:
On vlc 0,92 I have cliccato on You open Peripheral of acquisiszione and in the Dispositive card of acquisition in the Peripheral case video I have inserted /dev/video1.

An immense collection of software for eeepc installabile is available to link http://eeedownload.asus.com with a simple “Clik'n Run”. We can choose audio you 3847 applications and 148 tar rows and video. Naturally, be a matter itself of rows CNR, we have need of a client; Xandros must already have to us integrated it, even if sincerely of it I do not have certainty since on mine piccolino use eeebuntu, for the other distributions can be unloaded from here. We try:

for ubuntu 8,04 to cliccare here;
to directly install it with GDebi from Internet;
to select the package on the site of asus voilà ET.

However, to say the true one, all it has not gone for the just back; to some I have installed them packages without problems, torcs as an example, others (es. acrobat reader) have seen to fail the installation process. Currently of it I do not know the causes, someone of it has idea…?

Electronic timetable

Mailed from Mad to the 4:45 pm in Eeepc, Guides, hardware, software | no comment”

The beginning of the school is approached and this software sure will be appreciated who will have to sobbarcarsi the burden to construct the timetables of the Institutes. Orario_elettronico is a constructed application in order to supply a comfortable and flexible instrument in order to compile the scholastic timetable. The author uses wise php, mysql and apache succeeding to create a program for linux that, to part the graphical aspect, nearly nothing envies to the applications he trades them for windows.

Have installed I it on eeebuntu, the distro of mine “piccolino”:

To install through synaptic or from finishes them apache2, php5, mysql;
in the rows php.ini (in /etc/php5/apache2) to carry out the following modifications:

max_execution_time = 30 - > 172800
max_input_time = 60 - > 6000
memory_limit = 30M - > 300M
mysql.connect_timeout = 60 - > -1
mysql.connect_timeout = -1 that it indicates that not there are limits:
magic_quotes_gpc = On - > Off
download of electronic timetable;
to decompress the archives and to move the orario_elettronico folder on the root of the serveur apache (for me /var/www);
to set up the rights of writing with chmod a x orario_elettronico;
to open firefox and to type http://localhost/orario_elettronico/1_INIZIO_E_BUTTAMI.php;
to indicate only the name and password of the endowed customer of the administrator rights being left unchanged the all rest;
to eliminate the page 1_INIZIO_E_BUTTAMI.php (emergency issues);
to dgitare http://localhost/orario_elettronico/index.php and to carry out the login like administrator;
the database does not remain that popular of the necessary information and is already beautiful ready to the construction of our scholastic timetable.

Naturally the hours scripts of automatic allocation of and all exist of a series of functions that you will discover in itinere. We want trovargli a defect? The diagram is not to the level of some software for windows and the characters turn out little ones too much on mine piccolino, but also on the notebook with screen 15 ″, however on the whole me it seems a worthy job of famous.

To compile compiz fusion on the piccolino

Mailed from Mad to the 11:14 am in Eeepc, Incazzature | 4 comments”

I have compiled compiz fusion on the piccolino following the guide of telperion, obviously after to have qualified the direct rendering with the opportune modifications in xog.conf. All good works, testifies it the screenshot here under,

unless on the first one of the 4 desktop virtual, that one with ume launcher, where problems of instability of the graphical interface are taken place. You have some council give give to me?

UPDATE 1/10/2008

To how much it seems is a bug that interests all the grafice cards with chipset Intel, which they suffer from a kind of conflict between the DRI and all the OpenGL programs (ume launcher takes advantage of the OpenGL exactly). Al moment cannot be made nothing us, must alone wait for the new version of Xorg with new driver and new option DRI (DRI2) that it would have to resolve the problem.

Last the euphoria I have begun to smanettare with the enthusiasm of a child to the taken ones with play so much wished, and, after to have stated the veridicità of sure book reviews on the not exceptional one, in order to use a eufemismo, quality of Xandros, at least in the modality “easy”, I have proveduto to the download of eeebuntu netbook remix and to the installation and configuration on the piccolino. It runs the obligation to document also the first failures to me, since version 1,0 of this ubuntu optimized for eeepc after the boot planted to me with a “BusyShell” (initramfs) and the commando line, seems because of a bug that it interests ubuntu in the script casper. The usual search in the forum has produced the modification of the rows casper of the image iso through the extraction of the same image through manager of the archives, an ulterior extraction of the initrd.gz rows, the modification of the script casper (cancellation of mode=755 that it seems determined the bug), the reconstruction of initrd.gz and the substitution of this last one in the iso through utility “the
