| 1 | Mobile Linux Devices / General News / How to watch the BP Live Feeds on Ubuntu Linux on: Jul 14th, 2010, 9:21am |
| Started by Administrator | Post by Administrator | |
| If you are having difficulty watching the live video feeds from the BP website on your Ubuntu Linux system, here's easy steps to get it working. Short summary: Try using MPlayer and the MPlayer mozilla plug-in instead of the totem plug-in. Steps: 1. Quit Firefox 2. Launch Synaptic: System --> Administration --> Synaptic Package Manager 3. Enter admin password when prompted. 4. Search for "mplayer mozilla" 5. Install the mozilla-mplayer or mplayer-mozilla package. If you do not already have mplayer installed, it will alert you that it will be installing mplayer, and over a dozen files that go with it (OSD fonts, mplayer GUI, skins, etc.) 6. Hit "Apply". 7. Search for "totem". 8. Find the totem-mozilla (or mozilla-totem) plug-in package. Remove it. It should NOT remove other packages. 9. Hit "Apply". Launch your browser again, and it should work. This has been tested on several versions of Ubuntu from 8.04 to 9.04. should work on 10.04 as well.

| I've posted a page about music relating to Citroen Automobiles on the main site. It may be pointless, but in case you have not noticed, there's lot's of pointless stuff on the internet. Check it out even if you don't have a Citroen. You may discover some music you would not have heard otherwise. http://linuxslate.com/Commentary_Citroen_Music.html |

| In a previous post I made reference to Citroen and Innovation. I like to back up my viewpoints (at least sometimes). Here's one example of my justification for stating that Citroens represent innovation: I was reading the Wikipedia page for "Headlamps" (Redirected from "Headlight"). I noticed that practically every section mentioned Citroen. I decided to do a simple text matching count. Citroen is mentioned 12 times (text and captions, not counting the References section). The closest second is Cadillac, with 8 mentions. Even combining Ford and Lincoln (which for most of automotive history, but not all, have been the same company) only gets up to 10. If we add Ford, Lincoln, and Jaguar, we do get to 15, but the purchase of Jaguar by Ford is fairly recent in automotive history, and none of the Jaguars made since that takeover are mentioned in the article. There are 3 pictures of Citroen headlamps, the only manufacture with a car pictured more than once. Also note that the topic is headlamps -- If I did a such a count on the Wikipedia page on Self-Leveling Suspension, I would expect to see a lot of mention of Citroen (and there is), and I could see readers crying foul. But headlamps are something all cars have, not something specific to Citroen. Also, note that the search is done on the regular Wikipedia pages, not Wikipedia.fr (France) or a Citroen or French specific Wiki. There is no evidence that Wikipedia is somehow biased toward a certain French manufacture. So if the subject is not biased, and the source is not biased, Citroen must have been quite innovative in at least this aspect of automotive technology. This is not the only article that seems to be this way. What if we search just Suspension(vehicle), without anything specific to Self-Leveling, Active, Hydropnuematic... etc.? Citroen is mentioned 6 times throughout the article. No other manufacture is mentioned more than once (based on a quick scan). The only picture of a modern passenger vehicle is a movie of a Citroen BX. |

| In addition to my interest in Open Source Tablet computing, I am also interested in innovative automotive technology. Given that, I do not even need to say that I am interested in Citroën automobiles... it follows simply by logic. I will be posting a page about my car on the main http://linuxslate.com pages shortly. In addition to that, I would like to offer these boards as a place for those of us here in Central Florida to discuss these unusual automobiles. Feel free to post Citroen related information, repair tips, cars for sale/wanted, garages, sightings, movie prop or appearance offers/requests. There is another board in this group for car shows and events that may be of interest to Citroen owners, fans, or buyers. Thanks, and enjoy. |

| A 1G TF card is used now. It seems that 2G TF card is not supported. The folders created by the phone include one named ebook. It seems that there used to be a software to read ebook. Does anyone know what was it? Or what software can be used instead? |

| I formatted the tf card in a camera using a SD adapter. But the phone did not recognize it, still. I bought a tf card of brand Sandisk. Nothing changed. I really doubt that if it is the phone's problem in itself. It is really driving me to mad. |

| Thanks! I tried FAT 16 as well as fat 32, but with no luck. I also tried copying some files in the card, but with no luck. I have no mac or any other phone that can read tf card. I am looking for a different brand to see if it works. The card I'm using is Kingston. If I find something, I will post here. |

| I never have found out why it seemed to take several tries to get it to mount a card. It's happened with other cards since the review. A few things to try: -- Did you format it vfat or fat 16?. Try other format options. -- If you formated it on Wndows, try a Mac, and vise-versa. -- Try formatting it in another mobile phone, media player, or camera that supports formatting a card. --- Create the same default directories as on a working card. Sorry I don't have the answer, but if you figure it out, please post here. |
