The fingerprint reader The fingerprint reader is a mess. It has the USB id (147e:2016) of the upeksonly driver in the fprint project, but it doesn’t work. The reader seems to work with the normal UPEK driver (either in thinkfinger or fprint) by modifying the supported USB id. But the answers it presents to the driver don’t seem to conform to anything it knows. or: You’re holding it wrong. Seriously. Once upon a time, you could buy a IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad with Intel graphics and it just worked. While the Intel issues in the last versions of Ubuntu were mostly home-grown, the current disaster with the Core i3/i5 on-chip graphics isn’t. Like in the X201. The Ubutu experience Getting Ubuntu 10.4 LTS to work on an X201 isn’t too hard. You just need to follow some simple steps:
Remaining issues
gconftool-2 –set /apps/xchat/channel_list/auto_popup –type bool false If you try the receipe shown here with a RTSP source, you might need to throw in an additional One easy method to share any web radio via UPnP on your network is to use the gst-launch plugin. This is a simple rygel.conf snippet to expose NDR Info to your DLNA enabled devices. For other services I’d first try to replace the uri and the content-type accordingly. [GstLaunch] enabled=true launch_items=ndrinfo ndrinfo_title=NDR Info ndrinfo_mime=audio/mpeg ndrinfo_launch=souphttpsrc location=http://ndr.ic.llnwd.net/stream/ndr_ndrinfo_hi_mp3 That was easier than I expected. After a bit of googling and hand-crafting libtool archives, Rygel’s plugins now work on Windows as well. Now I just need to clean-up all that hackery. The beast is alive… Well. Sort of. Plugins still missing…

Support for the Xbox 360 has landed in master. You need:
For the transcoding to work properly make sure you have gst-lame and gst-ffmpeg installed. On a side note: Rygel master has now gained the ability to serve subtitles to Samsung DLNA enabled TVs Status update: We’re nearly there. Out-of-the box support of XBox 360; no patches, no database modification necessary. I’d really like a decent vocabulary trainer for my phone. It would be great if I could use the 30 minutes I spent on the tram to work for a quick training session. And it should be able to synchronize its data and learning statistics with my desktop app. I like and use I GNU it (though it’s management of the boxes is not quite clear to me) for my desktop. I couldn’t find a proper app for the phone, the closest one was a java app which had massive problems with umlauts – really problematic if finnish is the language you want to train yourself in. Seems what is missing is some sort of VIF – a vocabulary interchange format. Some common ground might be the XML format chosen by the KDE guys for KVocTrain. But honestly, single-char XML tag names?! |
