a problem when making dxg as linux PC screen

wws · 05-10-2014, 10:15 AM

it seems that all guide tutorials that show how to use dxg as a PC screen only cover the microsoft windows environment. Have any one succeed under linux?
I had try a today, but encountered a problem on the step 'usbNetwork'. In fact, i finished all the steps, including 'jailbreak', 'usbnetwork', 'lanchpad', 'kindle vnc'. But when when i connect the dxg on it's after input (;debugOn) and (`usbNetwork), my ubuntu host can not prepare well for this 'usb0' net connection, because i found that a spinning circle appears on the network icon on the ubuntu panel and never vanishs. and when i press 'shift+V+U', nothing happened. Is the 'rndis-host.ko' driver not matched?
Or, just show me the related threads.
Thanks.

Moved to the Dev corner, where it's much more appropriate.

As for a hint of answer: most of this stuff was *developed* on unixes, so, check the original doc, you'll probably find your answer there (spoiler: of course, yes).

Hint n°2: NetworkManager is evil.
