OK before anyone gets excited about what I am doing for my SONAR project, for me it is not about accuracy or, that type of thing but, it is more of a project that will mean I need to learn how to do a graphic screen to show results and how to deal with the sound card etc. It is a project that for me...

Sorry for the long delay in replying but work is hectic at the moment. I have the raspberry Pi's one as NAS server with Samba and one just sat there, but the idea is to use the Thin clients, they are a PC and are typically cheaper to buy. I have installed Code::blocks IDE on my Suse machine and load...

It has been a long time since I posted on here and I was very grateful for the assistance I got from the group a few years ago. At the time I was using a HP thin client the HP T5700 as a remote monitor for my Mum when finished it provided her with a pendant that she could press that SMS, family memb...

Tried it and it did not work?

I think I have solved the problem, or will have in a few weeks.

I ordered a 16 Gig flash card for the thin Client.

It will then take a standard distro.

Thanks for your assistance

Just tried the pae version and I can not find me-tv in the PPM.

I know there is an old PET, but that was for puppy 4.2 (?) I think so not up to date.

Ahh well bed time here.

Adrian

I have been searching for ages and got nowhere, the question is can I just go to the package manager and get a later kernel for my frugal install?

Surly not that simple?

Adrian

Hello Solo; I have no problem with the me-tv package, I think? Checks have said there are no missing dependences for the me-tv or the system. My system will not recognize the hardware dvb-usb sticks. even though there is a firmware file for the alfatech dvb-usb-af9015.fw The device works on my other...

Thought it may be useful to post installed TV and DVB packages on the computer, it may be easier to see what I am missing.

dvb-apps_1.1.1+rev1355
dvbtune_0.5-12
linux_firmware_dvb-1.20
me-tv_1.3.6

I believe the kernel is 3.9.11

Adrian

I know the site.

I use a T5700 as an asterisk PBX in the house, routing out to sipgate for mobile calls and BT for all others, it helps saves some money and has stopped a lot of cold callers with one of the facilities.

They seem to be an ideal thing for small distros.

Long time since last around here, but trying to find use for a HP thin client T5730, the unit has 1Gig flash and 2 Gig ram. I have tried various puppy distro's but all have issues with my hardware. the box has PAE so using 5.7.1 precise and all hardware on the box works, sound, network, screen. So t...

I have not forgotten the group and will get on with more work on the monitor when I can to sort of finish off and present information to others if a similar thing is required. Mum was moved to nursing care on the 21st December. The house is now empty, so the computer allows me to listen in to the ho...

Hi Mike. The reason I use slacko 5.6 was that was the only one of the current Puppy distro's I could get SSH server working. And as people have been kind to assist with the add ons by way of pets the plan is to stay with Puppy, I have been searching on web for a small distro, but many require lots o...

A bit of an update on the previous post first. I found that command line of mplayer with the -nocache option gave as good a delay as amarok on suse. pity I do not seem to be able to remove the minimum 64 K option when in X. Mum is currently in hospital has been since Monday so evenings and weekends ...

Still think set router for your access only would be a good move.

mike

Would be easy if I always had the same ip address but not always the case.

No matter!

Adrian

OK I tried the line [ "`grep nox /proc/cmdline`" != "" ] && touch /tmp/bootcnt.txt in rc.sysinit and rebooted, still into X, I still have the added bits such as vga=788 pfix=nox in the grub menu.lst I guess I will continue to use the frugal installs as I could get them to...

Well the monitor was installed today and works, a trial run went OK. I used amarok on a home pc at my end (suse11.4) to listen to the audio as I found this to give the least latency, I have tried puppyradio and it does work but the latency is several seconds probably due to having so much cache for ...

Sorry mike I missed your post.

Can you explain more?

Adrian

Hello 01micko Tried: touch /tmp/bootcnt.txt and also tried [ "$PNOX" = "yes" ] && touch /tmp/bootcnt.txt even put some params in bootcnt.txt to find they were cleared every boot, so tried the above examples again as /etc/bootcnt.txt and also tried [ "$PNOX" = &q...

OK I have corrected my spelling, x instead of z. I have gone through several options of adding a 1 to signify runlevel 1, text, single, and a few other things found on general searches. Looking through read me's seems to suggest/sbin init and a few other places before rc.services. I must be thick as...

On a frugal install I have used vga=788 pfix=nox in extlinux.conf This boots to shell and gives me a good screen with decent text size In a full install I entered the similar in the grub menu.lst from kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=normal to kernel /boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 ro vga=788...
