FatdogArm Alpha2 - 12 September 2013 [CLOSED]

[pedro]

3D - is more or less a solved problem, but:
a) It supports only OpenGLES, so if your app isn't OpenGLES compatible it won't work (and most desktop apps are OpenGL, not OpenGLES).
b) I have OpenGLES compatible Xorg driver but in my test it doesn't seem to work. I may need to upgrade glibc to do that (and trust me it is a pain to do so) - I can't fix it just by recompiling thanks to the proprietary nature of some parts of the driver. My motivation to fix this is low because of a) above.

i understand, no real reason for such work, i agree with you

As for Cedarx - see the status here: http://linux-sunxi.org/CedarX. I am under the impression that CedarX is only working for a special forked version of VLC (which I haven't built yet), but may be I'm wrong. If you have any more info on this I'd like to know.

you're right, a special version of vlc has to be built. Cedarx support seems much more useful than 3d/mali, do you plan supporting cedarx in a future release?

Thank you

Yes, I do plan to build cedarx-vlc at some time. When that happens you will hear it either here or on my blog

Just want to say big thanks, my mk802 II is now useful again, i never liked rikomagic android, performance was bad, but your fatdog works really well.
Just one question about 3d and cedarx, aren't they already working with the latest sources? That was the idea i had from browsing cubieforums from cubieboard.
Thanks

They are "OVERPRICED" now with deal extreme

My mk802II has a a10 cpu just like the one you show but you can find the new mk802II with a a20 cpu for the same price. Try searching aliexpress

1. I did -not- type overpriced, but the -word I typed- constantly prompted O. Miracles happen, maybe DX nested themselves in my compu ? Even now, 1 day later, still does not -prompt- the word.

2. Sorry ordered already. Thought might get fatdog running which it might not in A20 ?

Thx

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.

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

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

I think it would be great to have remote access with VLC

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?

...etc., and have the ability to control these mini box noise makers from anywhere.

That sounds like a project

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

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

No worries, we were all noobies once

xwin TurboVNC /usr/bin/Xvnc :1

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.

I currently use a fairly old TightVNC for a client. Is there a disadvantage to using it?

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.

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

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.

Alpha3 is released, discussion here: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=728353

Why CLOSED

[mavrothal]

Why CLOSED

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"
