Supertalent 8GB Pico-C (bought in 2008) got broken beyond any low level formatting on last dd session. RMA and free replacement (based on their lifetime warranty) from US to Germany within three weeks, nice!by hkramski - Debian
Thanks, Roman, for the details. I managed to get it running, but it's slow like hell. Maybe I have more other services running and am short on free memory. Just for the records: Java SE for Embedded 7 (ejre-7-fcs-b147-linux-arm-sflt-headless-27_jun_2011.tar.gz) didn't work for me at all, looks like it has to be Java SE for Embedded 6 (ejre-1_6_0_27-fcs-b07-linux-arm-sflt-eabi-headleby hkramski - Debian

Does that mean you managed to compile Serviio on your Dockstar or did you use an ARM binary? Where did you get the source/the binary? Regards, Heinzby hkramski - Debian

Hi all, I just want to share my findings how well a cheapo webcam, mjpg_streamer & lcd4linux play together. You basically have to set your camera to 320x240 pixels (mjpg_streamer -o "output_http.so -w ./www -p 8083" -i "input_uvc.so -y -r320x240") and add this simple stanzas to your lcd4linux.conf: Widget SetWebcamImg { class 'Timer' expressiby hkramski - Displays
No. I made it from the linked color table mentioned in the comment just for my convenience in my lcd4linux.conf. Heinzby hkramski - Displays

Now that I have ISC DHCP, BIND9, lighttpd/PmWiki, IWatch, LLTD, Postfix, Samba, OpenSSH, MiniDLNA, Webmin, Motion and some small stuff running on my poor Dockstar, there a times when system load goes up to 5 or 6 and above. Looks like this crashes/hangs lcd4linux 0.11.0-svn with hackfin's AX206 driver. (Maybe it's USB bus related?) Anyone else experiencing this? Any ideas? Regardby hkramski - Displays
@EPG: No problem with images anymore. Simply install libgd2-noxpm-dev first to enable image support, like hackfin said. It's also handy to have the XWindow driver included so you can test your layout on a desktop machine running X. Just install libx1-dev for that purpose. I now build lcd4linux ./configure --with-drivers='DPF,X11' --with-plugins='all,!dbus,!mpris_dbusby hkramski - Displays
I also get this warning every time lcd4linux starts. For a preliminary exec optimization: Can't we use the timer widget to only read a long line once and put it in a (global) variable? The manual says "Timer widgets are special widgets that do nothing except being called at a regular basis. [...] the result is discarded. But you can set variables in this expression" but I canby hkramski - Displays
I'm quite happy now with my grown lcd4linux.conf (which I use on Ubuntu and on my Dockstar with only to comments changed). I think I share it here again, just for inspirations. Thanks again for pointing me towards these nice little DPF's and lcd4linux. Regards Heinz Edit: Updated lcd4linux.confby hkramski - Displays

Hi hackfin and all, I just would like to say thanks for your work. With the help of the READMEs in http://tech.section5.ch/files/dpfhack-0.1alpha.tgz and http://tech.section5.ch/files/dpf-lcd4linux.tgz and some helpful tips from this forum I was able to get my Pearl ultra-cheap AX206 DPF working without any problems on Ubuntu 10.04 first and than on my Dockstar as well.

In an earlier post I was positive about my Supertalent Pico-C 8 GB I bought in 2008 (fast and always cold booting). Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to apply to newer ones. Two Pico-C 8 GB I bought recently do not reliably boot cold and even not every time I reboot from a running system.

Yes, lighttpd is great on my dockstar. Be sure to have a look at PMWiki, too (http://www.pmwiki.org/). This is what I did to set up Lighttpd, Php, Webdav: The following assumes that myaccount is your username webdav.mydomain.local is your dockstar in your local (non-internet) domain mydomain.dyndns.org is your dynamic domain, which points to your internet router regardless ofby hkramski - Debian

I initially downloaded webmin_1.520_all.deb from the webmin website; /etc/init.d/webmin was created and started automatically as part of the standard installation as far as I recall. You could try cd /etc/init.d update-rc.d webmin defaults (or "Webmin / System / Bootup and Shutdown" of course) to have it started on boot up.

Thanks, looks promising... Edit: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-flash-kernel confirmed working on my 2nd Dockstar, thanks again. Heinzby hkramski - Debian
Oscar, unfortunatly you are right. "flash-kernel" is not triggered by installing a new kernel (like 2.6.32-27 today). At least, we have an easy to remember command now... Regards, Heinzby hkramski - Debian
Oscar, I ran mkimage today manually so timestamps are insignificant now - I can't say for sure. It was my impression that flash-kernel does what it should, but maybe it was only after an update of initramfs-tools, not the kernel itself. Thank you for pointing that out. Regards, Heinzby hkramski - Debian
Take a look at http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,1042,1111#msg-1111. Installing the "flash-kernel" package will do this for your automatically on future kernel updates. Heinzby hkramski - Debian

Hi minidlna users out there, although my minidlna.conf reads # set this to no to disable inotify monitoring to automatically discover new files # note: the default is yes inotify=yes I can't get minidlna to refresh its index and serve new files.
