Re: openVPN setup script - 9 days ago
Quick update to get this working on Ubuntu 12.04 Precise... I needed to apt-get install openvpn network-manager-openvpn-gnome Ubuntu doesn't seem to accept the pushed DNS settings from the server like it used to. To make it work for now using Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS pool I selected nm-applet then... VPN Connections > Configure VPN... > Add or Edit... > IPv4 Settings ... Mby petergunn - Debian

Use PC PSU? - 9 months ago
I just rebuilt my main PC server with a new full tower case that has plenty of empty 5.25" drive bays. Im thinking my dockstars might fit nicely inside right behind one of the intake fans. Would it be possible to power 3 dockstars off the 12v output from the PSU if I cut the power cords and wire them to a molex connector? - PGby petergunn - Debian

BTW I recovered my disk successfully. Everything is back up and working again (asterisk 1.8.3 and the outgoing calls patch - I didnt re-install tho). -PGby petergunn - Debian
Re: Minimum implementation of Asterisk for Google Voice? - 11 months ago
Unfortunately my disk on the dockstar hosting my asterisk server has failed yesterday. :-( I still have the asterisk tarball on my server though - it is asterisk-1.8-current.tar.gz from Feb 2011 and unpacks as asterisk.1.8.3 Not sure if I will re-install or go with a $40 Obi100 since that seems less hassle and would let me retire the LinksysPAP2. -PGby petergunn - Debian

if RGB565_S() returns a 16bit value then superelchi is correct that the backingstore should not be chars. I would use shorts or ints depending on what dpf_screen_blit() expects for the type of pixels parameter... static short *pixels=NULL; // pixel buffer that is copied to device ... static short colormap[8]={0,0,0}; ... if (use_dpf) { char *d=f->data; if (cby petergunn - Displays

Re: Has anyone been able to use a USB-to-HDMI convertor on a NAS device? - 1 year ago
Modern DisplayLink devices/adapters work best (i.e. Displaylink Doublesight DS-90U) and can drive a monitor up to 1920x1200 in 16bit color. X11 desktop is useable as long as an efficient window manager is used (fluxbox is best) and web browsing works with a lightweight browser like Midori, uzbl, or dillo. Dont epect miracles though - the dockstar has a single real USB2.0 port (the others are aby petergunn - Debian

Re: Minimum implementation of Asterisk for Google Voice? - 1 year ago
I'm not expert but if its ringing when you get an incoming call but you cant answer it then your work firewall is filtering the UDP voice traffic (RTP) for incoming calls. With Asterisk the signalling (SIP) can go over TCP or UDP but voice always goes over UDP and firewalls will not normally allow incoming UDP unless there is a static route or there was a recent outgoing TCP or UDP connection froby petergunn - Debian
Re: conventional LCD TV ? - 1 year ago
I think it should be something like... vncserver :0 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 The commands in /etc/rc.local run as root so the config will come from /root/.vnc rather than a user home directory. If you want to run the commands as a regular user you would need to do something like: su user -c 'bash --login -c "vncserver :0 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 > /tmp/vnc.log 2>&1by petergunn - Debian
Re: conventional LCD TV ? - 1 year ago
Easiest way is to put the command in /etc/rc.local before the "exit 0" line. On boot it will be started as root after all the services have started up. -PGby petergunn - Debian
