Re: MeLe A2000

#21 Post by JackWagon »

James, looking forward to an Alpha2 or 3 upgrade for my MeLe A2000.
Thank you giving the MeLe a second life. Also, above all else, a big thanks to you and everyone for their contributions to Puppy and Linux in general.

I'm hoping to make an audio server from mine. So..I was wondering if someone would be so kind as to compile a VNC server for FDArm.
I think it would be great to have remote access with VLC, Pandora...etc., and have the ability to control these mini box noise makers from anywhere.:wink:

It may be possible to get fatdog to run on A20 when the time comes :wink:

Which one is better, turbovnc or tigervnc? For now, you can already run headless by starting Xvfb with x11vnc.

VLC will come later, for now please use Xine, but I'm not sure whether Xine can do streaming like VLC (I think not).
Pandora
never use before, is the source available?

That sounds like a project :lol:

Turbovnc is now in the repo. You can start it like this:

Code: Select all

 xwin "" "" "/usr/bin/Xvnc :1"
and try to connect to it from outside.

jamesbond,
Please excuse my ignorance, some of this is new to me.

I have been reading up on Xvfb and TurboVNC...looks slick (now, if I can just make it work.)

xvfb :1 -screen 1 1024x768x16

x11vnc -usepw -nevershared -forever -display :1
Am I on the right track here?

Then run TurboVNC on the server side to connect with xvfb and x11vnc?
xwin TurboVNC /usr/bin/Xvnc :1

I currently use a fairly old TightVNC for a client. Is there a disadvantage to using it?
Pandora, never use before, is the source available?
Pandora, as in streaming internet music/radio websites. Rdio, Tunein, Streema...etc.

Now, where did I put my MeLe :lol:

If only FatDogArm would boot up on my OUYA game box? That would be sweeet.

No worries, we were all noobies once :)

No need all those. If you can ssh into the box, you can just do this:

Code: Select all

setsid xwin "" "" "/usr/bin/Xvnc :1"
and that's all. If running over unsecured network you can use password and/or ssh tunnelling, no problem.

No problem, at most you would probably lose some of the speed optimisations but I don't think it has much effect on local LAN (unless your LAN is extremely heavily used for something else).
Pandora, as in streaming internet music/radio websites. Rdio, Tunein, Streema...etc.
Ok, let me see that.

The bad news is that it is unlikely, see http://randomfoo.net/2013/05/10/hacking-the-ouya. If you just want to have a media server then XBMC will work on it.

Because as the post above yours says there is alpha 3 now
Anything you report on a2 you should test if it is also true in a3.
If it is, report it there, if it is not, is "solved" :wink:
