Install Squeezebox Server on Joggler

Followed instructions from here., putting the "stable beta" repo in to the Software Sources: deb http://debian.slimdevices.com.

In the end had to get the deb http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main package as it couldn't find anything to download.

Ran Synaptic Package Manager and after a fashion it showed Squeezeboxserver as a package. Installed, required many other things too (mysql and perl linkages in particular).

Then navigate to /192.168.1.69:9000/ and configured it! All going!

Now sudo apt-get install smbfs.
sudo mkdir /mnt/hub

Then edit /etc/fstab to have //192.168.1.253/Disk_a1 /mnt/hub smbfs guest 0 0.

Seems bthub as name doesn't work, and IP address of the disk is at 253, not the gateway address of 254.

Happily indexing the hub's drive!

Squeezeplay for Joggler on Ubuntu 9

Followed these instructions:
http://birdslikewires.co.uk/articles/squeezeplay-for-joggler

First time I tried it it was really, really, very slow. I disabled some plugins in Squeezebox Server and also rebooted the Joggler, and now it's running very, very well!

Installed icon in Sound & Video menu of UNR, using Menu tool (System Tools pane). Linked to app.png icon in /opt/squeezeplay/shared???/jive/jive, it's beautiful but takes up whole screen.

Really want it to not be quite fullscreen... Or to have a gesture to get to Chrome.

VNC for Joggler

Using Chicken of the VNC on OS X and TightVNC on Windows XP, connecting to Joggler is very straightforward. See System Tools (I think) / Remote Desktop and enable things in there.

However, don't see the desktop or the UNR menus, but everything else seems to work as I'd expect. Think it's probably configured to run without transmitting the desktop, to save bandwidth?

Joggler not booting - solved

Joggler wouldn't boot because the time of the last disk mount was in the future - basically clock was set to 2005 (battery gone?).

Won't boot because of wrong time, file system check fails/error:

Sounds like need to do broken_system_clock in e2fsck.conf, if that option exists ("new versions of e2fsck have some new options. (1.41.10-1, found in testing):")

But e2fsck.conf man doesn't show that option, so this is what seems to have worked:

In the same file:
[problems]
# Superblock last mount time is in the future (PR_0_FUTURE_SB_LAST_MOUNT).
0x000031 = {
preen_ok = true
preen_nomessage = true
}
# Superblock last write time is in the future (PR_0_FUTURE_SB_LAST_WRITE).
0x000032 = {
preen_ok = true
preen_nomessage = true
}

Joggler with Ubuntu

Used StephenFord.org's Ubuntu Netbook Remix for the Joggler.

Then used Ubuntu Software Centre in the System panel to install:

EasyStroke

set up C to be F11 for Google Chrome

reverse L for Esc

set up 'aggressive' Timeout

set up "Gesture Button" = Button 1 (main mouse button)

set up Autostart easystroke, show last gesture in tray 

Reorganised Favourites panel a bit.

XBMC Instructions

System -> Software Sources

Added following to Other Software panel:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc-svn/ppa/ubuntu karmic main

Then allow to reload sources. [actually remove -svn in above]

In terminal

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 64234534
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install xbmc

But it failed, so removed -svn, also Ubuntu software centre wanted to do some security updates, so I let it.

Tried last line again, seems to work.

Run it, set Settings -> System -> Video Output ->Windowed mode

The Madeo page says to install OpenBox to get it fully full screen, but I like it just the way it is as the touch screen works fine and you can access the task bar at the top.
