Incidentally it is not the Elonex One, it is the Elonex webbook. Very different beasts altogether. The One is the £99 laptop with the detachable keyboard and the computer behind the screen. The...
Hi,
the graphics issue can be fixed by editing your xorg.conf file and setting the screen resolution to 1024x600. More details and an xorg.conf you can download are available here on the webbook...
totally agree, which is why I presumed just sticking them out there on the stands would be sufficient.
I am not worried about LCD image persistence so I don't think we need a screensaver, all the...
One thing I have not put a lot of thought to up to now is what we should do with the display models specifically. There is no rolling demo mode or anything like that, they are just regular production...
yes, it uses the hso driver. The first ones use the pharscape dialer, the later ones use a new dialer that calls either the hso module or wvdial for the huawei and novatel models.
It is a variable picture on the sales side. Some stores are really enthusiastic about them, others not so much. I am some distance from that side of the project. If you can tell me the store location...
can you also link to the exact youtube video you are wanting to play.
not too sure about the internal microphone to be honest. I did have it working with Audacity at one point but it wasn't very good because it picked up a lot of sound from the fan just behind it...
Hi,
the problem is the bad support for XV in the graphics drivers. You need to run gstreamer-properties and change the output plugin to X window system NoXV. More details and screenshot on the...
you can get gstreamer to work with the same trick. Run gstreamer-properties and set the output plugin to XWindows noXV
can you view other flash based websites? installing flashplugin-nonfree should be sufficient for YouTube I think. Try http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies and find a cute little flash game or something....
hi there,
the problem is that the graphics drivers don't support the XV extension correctly although they say they do. You need to press alt+F2 and run gstreamer-properties and on the output plugin...
Hi folks, I am a bit late to the thread, sorry about that. I am one of the folk who helped put Ubuntu on the webbook. It was not a surprise to Canonical and not done without discussions of a...
oh as for the recovery screen not having a password, indeed it doesn't. If you want a password on it (and if you promise not to come crying to me when you forget it:)) then you can type "sudo passwd...
The hso user is indeed a bit of a phantom. We were trying to get the Orange broadband client to automagically launch when you insert the option 225 dongle. This turned out to be rather tricky because...
I think if gedit is running but not loading a file then you are typing the file name wrong somehow. Did you put the dot in modprobe.d? When gedit is running you can go to file-open and browse the...
press alt+F2 to get the run program dialog
type in
gksudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/options
add a line at the end and type the following
options ipw2200 led=1
this tells the wireless driver...
Hi there,
I have launched a new website called A Story For Bedtime it is a site for parents of young children to download and upload MP3 files of recordings of stories read aloud to children. I...
