Flash Debug on Fedora 13 64 bit
Written by Chad   
Sunday, 15 August 2010

Pretty simple

Do this

 su -c 'yum install flash-plugin nspluginwrapper.x86_64 \

nspluginwrapper.i686 alsa-plugins-pulseaudio.i686 \

libcurl.i686'

(from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash#On_64-bit_Fedora)  

Then download the debug version of Flash player (for linux) from Adobe's site. Extract the zip file and replace ALL occurrences of libflashplayer.so on your system with the one you extracted from Adobe's site. Worked for me for FB4 on Fedora 13 (10.1 version at least)

Fedora 13 Goddard on Asus G2S-X3

Install notes (for future ref)

- Did the install with just "Graphical Desktop" and selected KDE instead of Gnome. No other customizations before install.

- Updated all packages. Enabled Livna and RPMFusion. Yum install kernel-headers. Updated. Installed kmod-nvidia. Rebooted. and then compiz with this:

yum install compiz compiz-gnome emerald emerald-themes fusion-icon compiz-fusion-extras compiz-fusion-extras-gnome compizconfig-backend-gconf from http://www.hackourlives.com/install-compiz-fusion-and-emerald-in-fedora-13-goddard/

-  Enabled compiz with System->Compiz Fusion Icon

Compiz Settings:

- Enable Rotate Cube, which should enable the desktop cube. Disable the other one that has conflicts. For the bindings on the screen edges use the MOUSE's binding (not just the screen edge) and set the rotate right and rotate left to be on their corresponding screen edge with mouse3 button

- Enable Expo and set as desired

- Enable "3D windows" for during mouse rotation

- Enable "Scale" and set the "Initiate Picker for all Windows" on the MOUSE setting, not the screen edge setting, and to be on button1 top-left.

 

ASUS Oled

- svn'd the latest (.08?) and yum install kernel-devel. did make and make install, echo 0 to the oled and it turned off. excellent. 

 

Think that completes the "hard" hardware stuff and even a bit of the software config. hoozah.

Asus G2S OLED and Fedora 13
Written by Chad

Figured I'd better compile some instructions here for myself since I don't use this very often.. in fact online once in the last 2 years. 

yum install kernel-headers kernel-devel

make and make install the OLED project from http://lapsus.berlios.de/asus_oled.html

don't forget to scroll down to the bottom of that page for other instructions

From the page:

 

   	There are some example pictures in .txt format, that can be used as follows:    
	cat foo.txt > /sys/class/asus_oled/oled_1/picture     
	If the display is switched off you also need to run:    
	echo 1 > /sys/class/asus_oled/oled_1/enabled    
	To switch it off, just use:    echo 0 > /sys/class/asus_oled/oled_1/enabled

Now for some fun. I set off to have it display and update the time. My thoughts are have it use the banner program to output the value from date to a file and then have SED replace the stuff and lastly add the size of the file to the top of the file and output to the picture device. So far it isn't automatic, but I have it thus far: (note the ~]# is the prompt)

~]# date +"%F %T"
2010-08-07 19:05:45 
~]# banner 2010-08-07 19:05:45 > curr.txt
~]# sed 's/ /0/g' curr.txt > time2.txt
~]# sed 's/#/1/g' time2.txt > time3.txt
use your favorite editor to edit time3.txt as follows.. 
replace all empty lines and spaces with 0s 
put <s:$widthx$lineCount-1> at the top of the file where $width is the max cols and line count 
	is as it says so for example <s:63x15>
cat times3.txt > /sys/class/asus_oled/oled_1/picture

 

The part this isn't possible to automate yet is the filling in the spaces with 0s and outputting the date stuff from banner to a text file. Maybe I'll write a C program to do this here sometime soon. Any of you ambitious developers out there that want to contribute can .. well, register for my site and then contact me through that. More to follow... maybe after I eat dinner.
