Biggest dork (or, what are you doing with your Plug)?

The monitor should be "Bus 001 Device 010: ID 17e9:0100 Newnham Research". I'm getting a green screen. Any further suggestions?

EDIT:

Also see for the same topic: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=25&p=2251#p2251

The green screen (in my experience) is a good sign! You should have a framebuffer device (ie /dev/fb0). You can use applications on the buffer if you want (fbterm, fbi, etc.), or get an X11 server running using it. I posted an xorg.conf that works for me--it's pretty sparse. Then get X started with "startx". I'm using openbox as a window manager and xterm for terminal.

I can't seem to find the file. Where do you post it?

Sorry--I wasn't clear in the earlier post. You can find it http://Arch Linux ARM.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=189#p1106, in this thread, and reposted here (:

You may want to check that post, since I made a script to delay x starts after bootup, and allow users other than root to startx from non /dev/tty*.

For Asterisk on Dockstar/Debian with Google Voice/Sipgate support. This (http://forums.plugpbx.org/index.php?topic=152.0) is the simplest implementation that I know to date.

Check out what Sprite did to his Dockstar -- or rather how he uses a dockstar to power a very inventive Mac SE casemod:

Hi,

I setup my Guruplug Server+ as a home surveillance system, running an updated Debian with Zoneminder 1.24.2. My system has 2 wifi IP-cams (http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26358 and http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29918). Working in motion detection mode, I store the motion events in an old NTFS formatted drive and upload them to an external FTP.
It wasn't easy to get it working, but finally I have a 5W surveillance system!

Regards,

PacoLM

Interesting. Do you have any sample images from the units. Great price.

This looks like a FOSCAM. I have their weather proof version.
That site has customer photos.

One thing to note about these FOSCAMs is that there seem to be some Chinese knock-offs of these Chinese cameras out there. The firmware from FOSCAM's website will brick the knock-offs. So if you have one, or are thinking of getting one...watch out for that.

I'm using my DockStar for a lot of things but it's really not that interesting.

Here's what I'm currently running:
- cups to share a printer
- sane to share the scanner of the printer
- samba to share files on an external hard drive and provide access to the printer
- minidlna to stream photos, music, and videos to an Xbox 360
- lighttpd to provide a basic web control panel for restarting services like samba or using wake on LANto wake up my desktop
- transmission to download torrents
- sabnzbd+ to download from usenet
- znc to remain connected to IRC networks
