Re: Applications working on OS 2008

Anybody get the FM Radio working?

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

Got Kagu and A2DP working, which also means mplayer. mplayer gui doesn't work, but all you need is mplayer itself working for A2DP. The problem getting bluez and mplayer installed was the new version of dbus. It's changed from /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2 to /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3. All I did was symlink .3 to .2 and a forced install of the two packages. Then I edited the install.sh script milhouse did to skip installation of those packages. Works like a charm.

Quick and dirty instructions:
Install Kagu through normal means. I just installed it by the .deb directly. It complained about something(I think dbus not being configured properly), but still showed up on my menu.
Follow the instructions the here. gainroot is already installed, it looks like. Go until you're supposed to becomeroot and do ./install.sh again. It won't work. You'll need to do the following:

Code:

ln -s /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2

dpkg -i --force-all sbc-svn_20070608-1_armel

dpkg -i --force-all plugz-svn_20070608-1_armel.deb

dpkg -i --force-all mplayer_1.0rc1-maemo.18.n800_armel.deb

Then you'll need to change install.sh and just delete a pile of lines. Basically from line 12 to 21, delete or comment out. Run it like that as root, and it'll do its last configuration and tell you to reboot. After that, Kagu works with A2DP again.

Correction: mplayer gui seems to work, but A2DP headset buttons don't for me. I'm looking into it.

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

Has anyone started a wiki page on this yet? (anyone notice the irony in that statement?)

Please stop hijacking this thread with requests for jabber servers, fxs... Start a new one pls.

edit:

I started a wiki-

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

Pidgin works ok, even in Systray.
Bad news. MPlayer doesn't and it's there's some bug during compilation.

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

VNC Server works (x11vnc_0.8-3_armel.deb)

But no luck with VNC Viewer on OS2008. There are dependencies on old libraries which I fetched with apt-get and then did manage to install VNC Viewer, but it fails to launch.

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

My splicer utility works if you have python installed. You could use it as an alternate way of launching videos in mplayer since it appears they still don't have 'open with' functionality :(

Interesting to note the gtk dialogs (which i prefer) seem faster and fit screen better than gtk version in 2007.

If you need to edit the app list you will need editor like (leafpad?) installed and use splicer to open/edit the /usr/lib/splicer/splicer.apps file with that editor.

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

The home applets Simple-Launcher and OM Weather work apart from transparency. Not a functional issue, just a cosmetic one

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

Please, if you have time, etc..., add these with your information to the wiki.

Thanks!

Re: Applications working on OS 2008

It does not seem to accept my forum login, so I can not edit Wiki :-(. Someone please add:
