BTW. My compilation of matchbox-desktop is hacked to not include entries from Game directory in Applications one, which otherwise would contain all available entries. Remember that while creating your own folders

I already understood the folders. How you to install Gajim?

It REALLY needs so eink target love it is ever going to run without horror-story graphics. How are you at maths? GM and Hawhill have both posted solutions to the issue - one of which (or something similar) - needs integrating in the minitube build.

I think minitub will not work well on the e-link. I watched the video on e-link. The quality was poor.

From repositories.

apt-get install gajim

Actually, in its current state, twobob said "horror-story graphics" which is worse than "poor".

Before generalizing all eink animation quality as as poor, you should check out "geekmaster kindle video player" here:
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=177455

And the "newtrix" demo here:
http://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=176802

Remembering that those videos and animations are full screen, then adding some of my dithering code to minitube could certainly improve its animation to be acceptable to a lot of people.

Yep. it's tragic. I'm pulling it down to have another look though.
I never did actually dive into the code.

I tried getting my head around some accessible dithering code to throw at these projects. Guess I need to try again.


Hey ho.

It's strange, did you do "apt-get update" before trying to use repos? Also check, if all urls in /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* are right, you could have misconfigured multistrap.

no I actually get that too IIRC. let me check. (okay after a mere 130+ updates)

did I screw up?

Package: gcc-4.7-multilib (4.7.2-4em1) {mips}

GNU C compiler (multilib files) (gripped)

This is the GNU C compiler, a fairly portable optimizing compiler for C.

On architectures with multilib support, the package contains files and dependencies for the non-default multilib architecture(s). . ...

Other packages related to gcc-4.7-multilib {mips}

Dependencies
gcc-4.7-base (= 4.7.2-4em1)
gcc-4.7 (= 4.7.2-4em1)
libc6-dev-mips64 (>= 2.11)
libc6-dev-mipsn32 (>= 2.11)
lib64gcc1 (>= 1:4.7.2-4)
libn32gcc1 (>= 1:4.7.2-4)
lib64gomp1 (>= 4.7.2-4)

or is the libfortran packaging askew?

How do you configured minitube?

With a truly hideous hack I have managed to get inverted dithered output.
that allows for actually not too bad output.

But the actual setup is HORRIFIC. in essence I wrap kvncviewer around an Xvfb (using the knvcviewer -dither mode) and then project that via x11vnc onto the k5 screen. it's a complete bodge. but it actually works.

I'll work on the implementation but TBH it just proves that a simple ordered monochrome dither would indeed fix a crapload of apps.

Obviously I cant screenie this... have to get out a webcam at some point. but yeah. worker.

Could you please show me all of your apt sources?

When you're done, chroot into it on device and create file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/fso.list with content:

deb http://pkg-fso.alioth.debian.org/debian unstable main

Then just apt-get update and you're ready

erm. now you mention it - this appears to be missing. which is highly annoying as that means my "base" installation is missing it. ho hum.

I'll add this and test again. DUH!
(you know when you are SURE you did something...and you didn't)

gah. testing now.

EDIT:
err.... nope didn't help (attached piccies - think that is everything?)

[twobob]

Xvfb -noreset -screen 0 600x800x8 -bs -wr +extension RANDR +extension XTEST +extension XINERAMA +extension MIT-SHM -fc cursor -fp /usr/share/fonts/X11/ :1 &

root@kindle:/# DISPLAY=:1 x11vnc -shared -nopw -forever -noncache -noxdamage

[root@kindle root]# kindlevncviewer -config /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/config.lua -encodings "raw copyrect" -dithered 127.0.0.1:0

[root@kindle root]# while usleep 350000; do eips '';done

Then operate via vnc as using Xvfb doesn't grab the input.
Currently this outputs a dithered update that does actually draw - albeit inverted and slowly - but it show's that correcty configured - and without the STUPID overhead - and with a PROPER build of ffmpeg (with the filters etc) this could do the business.

right. I'm done testing that until a dithering solution presents. also this doesn't work properly on the touch since

dithering is only supported for 4bpp displays for now, sorry.

Notably the audio was SOLID as a rock using minitube - wouldn't even start the audo under vnc - definitely permissions gremlins still in the works :\

TBH for hearing (watching? kinda) music videos this is fine : )

Your base packages are from emdebian grip (source=http://www.emdebian.org/grip). The other ones are from debian (source=http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian).
I don't know much about debian, but I avoided this conflict pulling everything from emdebian.

I understand your thought, but do not understand what to do to resolve this conflict. I am a noob in Linux.
