Psiconv-0.9.8 for Fedora 7 and you can build yourself

I use for years as a series organizer my faithful "Psion 5 MX pro ". Meanwhile the already so old that the utilities for communication between Linux and Psion now part, no longer be maintained. The results, for example, that the program psiconv present on the homepage the programmer in such an old tarball that the extraction process fails with an error message. Also, the homepage does not always achieve. psiconv With can convert different file formats of the Psion (eg Word, Sketch) in human readable formats (HTML, ASCII). I now basically a "branch" to be liable for all Psion-Liebhaber/innen.

Who uses Fedora 7 x86_64, the appropriate RPM package can directly here Download.

Who uses a different system, using the tar package compile the program itself.

Who wants to build an RPM package found here the SPEC file. This must be in the directory / usr / src / redhat / SPECS be stored. The tarball is unentpackt to / usr / src / redhat / SOURCES. The directory with the spec file is now the command "rpmbuild-bb psiconv.spec" run as ROOT. In the normal case should end in / usr / src / redhat / SRPMS the finished package.

Average Price Of Main Event Boxing Gloves



4-Port USB 2.0 Hub from Belkin Linux

In the compatibility lists I found very little information USB hubs on Linux and the manufacturers are silent on anyway. An optional device is currently on the above, which I bought for about 15 € and are suitable for absolute linux. I currently have three very different devices to it: printers, external hard drive, mouse and keyboard adapter. Two of them are USB 2.0 devices. Everything is - even without an external power supply - no problems detected and working properly. Only my Logitech webcam I had to connect directly, because the driver is otherwise adversely affected and is failing with error. Overall, I highly recommend this device with Linux.

How To Chang The Alias 2 To Vibrate Only Once



new convenient way of Flash on Firefox x86_64

to tips for using the ZDF media library on Linux, I recently found an amazing note. There is described how using a program nsplugwrapper on a 64-bit Firefox to use the 32-bit Flash plugin from Adope can. The description of which related to SUSE, but I've tried it and it works fine! Here's my description:

Download the 32-bit Flash plugin and install it. You can get it here as .

following RPM packages for Fedora 7 at RPM PBone download (enter in the search field):

  • nspluginwrapper.x86_64
  • nspluginwrapper-i386.x86_64

Then using "rpm-ivh nswrapper * "install it as ROOT. Although there are error messages that various ELF formats would not vote, but you can safely ignore, as this refers to the 64-bit installed on your Firefox plugins and should ultimately not be served by nspluginwrapper .

If you firefox now new start, you can use "about: plugins" to see in the address bar that the nsplugin and the Flash plug-in is active. Unfortunately I have not found repository for Fedora 7, where the packages can be found. So they have to be currently updated manually.

Benefits Of Goat Cheese Vs Cow's Cheese



installation of Fedora 7

in this article I describe my experience at the grade from Fedora Core 5 7 on Fedora

can summarize the beginning, I sometimes like to say that it was worth it, upload a new version. I think nothing of the too short publication times from the Fedora project. It is there always something on "hanker after. In November, comes out again Fedora 8 and then I will certainly wait a few more versions before I join them. Because: The cost of each Plays a lot of time and work until you get back to some extent has its usual environment together, if I now re-install or update. I decided in this case for a new installation. In the last update but had accumulated a lot of resentment which I wanted to get rid Sun

preparations

I had downloaded the DVD image (x86_64) from the Fedora site and fired. It pays to read the notes Releasse before. Important new features and tips on installation procedure are in there. Since I am a cautious person, I backed up my partitions separately to an external USB drive. This works with the command dd simple:
 dd if = / dev / PARTITION (zBhda2) of = be PFAD_ZUR_USB-PLATTE/partition.img 
when played back simply Darteien changed. So I'm sure I get my old system state at any time, quite simply get it back. The disadvantage of this method is that it takes a long time because the entire partition - the free parts - are backed up with. Besides that, I backup all the important old configuration files were also available to read. That was quite important, as it turned out soon.

Installation

restart with an inserted DVD. You will see the boot screen of the DVD. Here I pressed tab to the boot parameters supplemented with "vesa". I know from experience that, where there my Radeon x600 graphics card otherwise remains Bildschirnm black. Installation is otherwise straightforward. I chose - as mentioned - a new installation, where I determined the partitioning itself. The individual packages I installed before the clearly defined, so do not rely on the "Program Group".

The first start

Now began the unpleasant part of my Fedora 7-excursion! For the first time the screen remained black as it should be just the Gnome login screen. Especially great was that firstboot intervened and prevented at least I was able to use a text console. Well. I did not panic, but start again, this time in "Interactive mode" (press "I" during the boot process). So although I had still not an "X", but could at least prevent the launch of firstboot and I log in as ROOT. The included editor nano-enabled me to edit the file / etc/X11/xorg.conf. There was no essentially following additional entry in the Radeon driver:
 Option "monitor layout" "LVDS, AUTO" 
Thus, the driver then knows also that he will use the laptop screen graphics output. The graphic modes of my screen I had also transferred from my old xorg.conf. Then Gnome ran without problems.

excursion into the new world

From now on I had a lot of fun! The new design like it a lot. Here are a few things about which I am very Mioch:

  • The GPL Teiber for my Radeon card now works flawlessly. Even the "Direct Rendering" is possible under glxinfo .
  • Nice screen effects such as transparency and wobbling windows are no problem and work on a button (System , is deactivated again, after I had a few nasty crashes, which was nothing more.
    The programs to Software Update and the graphical interface YUM I now seem to be mature. I can work with it well and therefore need no yumex more.
    Many of my usual work programs in the new versions are really stable, provide better or new features. For example, start ekiga
  • now without the Annmeldung fails and I have to start again. The IM program pidgin
    makes such a good feeling that I spontaneously
  • licq surrounded it. course there were some difficulties. About solutions for that I'll gradually detailed reports.

Starter Prices For A 1998 Toyota Corolla



GSPCA for current kernel module
With Fedora Core 5 and later, the kernel source not be installed if you want to compile modules themselves. Only the current package kernel-devel
is needed. You install it using "yum install kernel-devel". Now you should update the kernel to the latest version: "yum update kernel". The dependent modules will be updated as dependencies the same time. Please start now with the new kernel. In order to create the necessary module


gspca.ko , you need the actual source code of GSPCA. I have found him
here. The tar file must be in the directory / usr / src / redhat / BUILD are unpacked. There you will find the script
gspca_build . This must be run as ROOT. The module is stored in the / lib / modules / KERNEL VERSION / kernel / drivers / usb / media /. Thus, the modules can be loaded but not and with the error message "gspca: Unknown parameter` index '"Stop, we need the following lines in / etc / modprobe.conf are deleted from the installation script was unnecessarily created: alias snd-card-1 options snd-gspca card-1 index = 1 index = 1 options gspca gspca remove {/ usr / sbin / alsactl store 1> / dev / null 2> & 1 may call for ekiga and a Logitech Quickcam
notebooks with images transmitted over the Internet.
 
I had decided on the above model of a webcam, because it is praised in the Linux users especially. However, I realized pretty quickly that there were some hurdles to overcome. The USB device is detected by the kernel, it will also load a module called
zc0301
, this module does not now. The solution consists of the following steps: first

in the kernel proper version if we want to compile it yourself. Since I regularly the kernel update using yum leave, I decided to make a pre-compiled package. This requires a new Reposity for
yum
be established. In drpixel be found to a package that an appropriate entry in / etc makes / yum.d. Now you have the Reposity only be activated under
yumex
. Is this done so, the right module to be imported. Unfortunately, the Reposity gave rise to-date and there was no package for my current kernel 2.6.20-1.2319. Therefore I had to set in / boot / grub / grub.conf that the older kernel is loaded as a standard .2316. For this, did in fact have the right module. 2.
To prevent that every time is manual work needed to make the right module is loaded, I proceeded as follows. I created the folder / etc / sysconfig / modules an executable file with the following contents: #

/ bin / bash if [$ (cat / proc / bus / usb / devices Should restart - with connected Quickcam - run it right now. third are now installed, the program must ekiga using "yum install ekiga. When you first start the program through the configuration. One must create an account at ekiga.net or already have. I have found that the microphone is on the Quickcam is not a good choice. You'd better make use of a headset. A little tinkering with the audio settings on my sound card was needed. To test the transmission, you can use the Test Account "500@ekiga.net" call. He'll reflect all audio and video data back to a time delay, so see that you know what your partner would see. Addendum: to
To receive calls, the port 5061 (UDP) are open for incoming packets. This causes for example the following line:

/ sbin / iptables-A INPUT-i INPUT INTERFACE (eg ppp0)-p tcp - destination-port 5061-j ACCEPT
 To change this setting to the next time you must keep the following command be executed: 

/ sbin / iptables-save> / etc / sysconfig / iptables


I noticed that I
ekiga
must always start twice. When you first start logging does not account for - for whatever reason. Annoying thing is that there is no way to force the program, to try it again. It remains only to end the program completely and start again :-( Otherwise I am very satisfied!

Tips for dealing with dvd-slideshow



I'm on my children's and youth camps now many pictures with my digicam. From these images I create now increasingly slideshows with music background and explanatory texts, which I burn then to families on DVD. This is a nice memory and makes sure that my free time do not fall as quickly forgotten.
 The program that I use for creating slide shows is 
dvd-slideshow
. This program is there a documentation
 with some examples. One should make absolutely sure which version of the program you used for the commands and syntax, but differs significantly from one another. Click For a version below 0.8.0 must be on the main page on "past releases. Now you can get the appropriate documentation to his version. 

I want to in this article only to special features in Fedora Core 5 received, since the above-mentioned documentation to answer any other questions.
The yum under
is clearly preserved version of the program under the current version 0.8.1. She brings many problems that have since been eliminated already. For example, the subtitles do work not. Therefore, I recommend immediately download the latest version
The background music tends rather to oversteer, which is probably mainly due to the AC3 encoding. So either the "ac3 = 0" in the slide show file to use (then the sound as MP2 encoded. They may, however, not all DVD authoring programs.) Or "normalize" the tracks before, that is, lower the volume, for example with the program audacity. Another problem is is that the PAL video format
dvd-slideshow
is reproduced somewhat truncated. All around is a part missing. For this problem I have not found a definitive solution. Actually, should provide the option "-s widthxheigt" for help. I have not yet managed it. Is also not bad. One must only remember when fades subtitles. Which may not be too long, otherwise just missing a part.

The program itself, I find it very successful. I can use it to create really successful slide shows with nice effects.

online poker with Linux


Yes, I was now caught: The poker fever! However, I would rather play in a relaxed atmosphere at the living room table with friends. Online is a bit too hectic for me. One has for every move up to 20 seconds. Since I can not think right strategy, but only react.
Still, for all who try it and do not do without Linux, I have made my experience here together. There are two main ways in Linux Online Poker play:

It installed a "Java runtime environment," and plays directly in the browser. This requires a 32-bit browser and install as Suns "JRE" (Java-Runtime-Env.).

Or to load a client program downloaded from the manufacturer. These programs are (to my knowledge) written exclusively for Windows. Many of these programs are, however, get through the emulator "Wine" on Linux to run.

The Wine-method is much more stable and easier option. You have only just installed Wine download ("yum install wine") and from the side of your favorite party, the installation program in EXE format. Now just the program with "wine progname.exe" start in the same directory and it should work. I have tried three main suppliers: Everest Poker, PartyPoker and PokerStars. Everest Poker only did not work.

switch from Blogger to Google - Nothing but trouble

Psion 5mx pro via IrDa link

In this article I describe how to connect a Psion to an infrared connection to the computer, for example, to make a backup or to transfer individual files via FTP. The conditions were mentioned in the previous article. This is the IrDA port on the device "/ dev/ircomm0" ready to use.

Next, you need the package
plptools
that there is unfortunately not as Fedora RPM. That is why I created it. You can do it here
apply for Fedora Core 5 and here
for Fedora 7. After installation, you should run 'ldconfig' so that the new libraries are used.


You should have the Psion from the infrared device and turn on set. "Communication" you ask "infrared" and "115200" field. The command creates a connection to the Psion.

Now you can with "plpftp" a connection to transfer individual files or restore hang with "/ usr / sbin / plpnfsd" the filesystem of the Psion in the Linux system. The latter is a prerequisite for a backup with "plpbackup.

Can Hsv1 Be Transferred To Dogs?



connecting a Nokia 6210 via irda (infrared)
As I reported in my blog installation, has my full Amilo no infrared port, but only a connection to your remote control. I have now bought an IrDA adapter (usb) the mark "Sigmatel Xtensions" to my Nokia 6210 and my Psion 5mx to communicate per can. Below I describe my experience with connecting the Nokia's.

It was a long way, but now I've done it, with information from forums and lots of trial and error. First, the package "irda-utils" and "KMobileTools" utility. With

yummex
should not be a problem.

 
Plug the unit and check that the modules were loaded "irda" and "stir4200 (/ sbin / lsmod). In the file / var / log / messages should be available the following types of entry:

kernel: drivers/net/irda/stir4200.c: IrDA: Registered SigmaTel device irda0

Now enter the following commands:

/ usr / sbin / irattach irda0
then please do not start the service "irda". That did not work! Instead, we make the bare minimum by hand:

/ sbin / modprobe ircomm For two other modules are loaded. As a result, new device files "IrcommXX" be created. "Ircomm0" we need to connect. We now start KMobileTools and type as the device file "ircomm0" and start - before we apply the input - the IR transmission at Nokia. The program should now be able to connect.

It is possible to retrieve the phone book to write and send SMS and to choose. The display for battery and IR data link. However, I have not been able to retrieve the stored phone SMS. Also, the hook after a call is done manually at the phone. In addition, directory entries are transmitted shortened. But still ... better than nothing.

I warn against to use the Gnome phone manager program
. That led to me regularly to crash the kernel. Also, the program should never

irattach with the parameter "/ dev/ircomm0" are available. This also leads to the crash.

Internet Explorer 6 on Linux
 

Yes, you read correctly! Not that something has changed in the politics of ignorance from Microsoft, there is still no Linux version. But one knows that even help. Means

A version of the program possible, since the required Windows libraries (. dll) on Linux to run with.

The process is simple. Necessary, the programs in current versions. These can be installed using "yum install wine cabextract". This, however, the Dries repository is needed. The installation instructions to create the repository, you'll find on their website

So that the Internet Explorer is running well, it must be installed correctly under wine

course, you should not use this browser seriously, because there is so much better under Linux (and of course Windows / Mac). But for web designers, it is a great tool to have to run it every time Windows to see how see about 72% of the surfers (and falling ;-)) its Web site.

from AVI DVD


(note first: This article is to say that I now have evidence that Synkron not a created according to this description in DVD image and sound. Thus, this method is not recommended for now. 22. Dec. 2006)

I admit this is more a memo for internal use, but maybe it will help more people as well. My problem was, as inexpensively as I can get a DV-shot with a JVC camcorder to a DVD using Linux tools.


Here is my solution: Connect the camcorder to Firewire and in a terminal window type "dvgrab timestamp film name-- - auto split". The data now to be (very space-consuming) AVI-Files scenes split and the date and time provided in the file name saved on the hard disk.
are now first all accident scenes deleted. Then the useful scenes to DVD format to be converted. We use the command "ffmpeg-i Filename.avi-target pal-dvd ergebnis.mpg. In order to save manual labor I've written a script that reformats an entire scene Directory:

# / bin / bash if [! -D $ 1mpg] then

mkdir $ 1mpg
fi z = $ 2
for VIDEO in $ 1 *, Thu

ffmpeg-i $ VIDEO-target pal -dvd $ 1mpg / $ z.mpg
z = $ [$ z +1]
fi
done

Man the script passed as the first parameter the directory with the scenes and as the second parameter is the initial number with the MPG files are named sequentially.


are now assembled the files, "ergebnis.mpg mpeg3cat 1.mpg 2.mpg 3.mpg ...>" with the command.


To make sure that

kmediafactory
does not stop with an error, this file should once again with "ffmpeg-i gesamtvideo.mpg-target pal-dvd-aspect 4:3 ergebnis.mpg" are nachformatiert.

 

Then start

kmediafactory

and as the result file Insert Video. Then choose a menu layout and build the whole thing as K3B project.

In

K3B

I would first have to create only an image file and burn it first. It has been my experience that directly burned DVDs do not work sometimes. The preview of

KMedaifactory

means you can

Xine or caffeine

ever watch the preview.
