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

Talk about the project itself, the community, where we are and what we need. Great place to introduce yourself and make friends as well.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('aerotoad', ' ')I posted an xorg.conf that works for me--it's pretty sparse.


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 (:

/etc/xorg.conf
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
DisplaySize 800 480
# DisplaySize 1024 768
EndSection

Section "Device"
#Option "ShadowFB" "true"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "fbdev"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0"
# Option "Rotate" "CCW"

EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
EndSection')

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

Interesting. By using sane, is it possible to use the Dockstar as a scanner so it can be accessed from other computers, as the way a printer server works?

Yeah, you can set up sane as a daemon and then connect to it on any machine on the network. You just need a sane client (I'm using SaneTwain on Windows) installed on the computer you want to scan on.
