I’ve never done something simple like this before.

First install the package:

apt-get install pptpd

then edit the localip and remoteip in your /etc/pptpd.conf file.

and next add a user with password:

echo “USERNAME pptpd PASSWORD *” >> /etc/ppp/chap-secrets

and restart the pptpd server:

/etc/init.d/pptpd restart

done.

It tested it with the android (kernel: 2.6.29-TheOfficial-00479-g3c7df37) vpn client

fine

PS: It’s funny that my kernel on the android phone is newer than the kernel on the debian server

I have tryed a long time to get a video singal out of my nVidia GeForce 8600 GT (rev a1) and finally it works.

I use a 10 meter S-VHS cable to my sony bravia 40″ 16:9 flat screen

here’s the lspci:

Two lines are very important:

Option         “TVStandard” “PAL-B”
Option         “TVOutFormat” “SVIDEO”

If these options aren’t set the picture will flicker.

OK, now restart your X server and there should be a signal on the line.

Now the next question was how to get any application on tv out?

Here’s the answer:

DISPLAY=:0.1 ‘command’

for example:

DISPLAY=:0.1 vlc /home/user/video.mp4

hi guys!

If your atheros chip can’t be detectet here’s a little howto enable it:

adding the repository:

 echo “deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu intrepid-backports main restricted universe multiverse” >> /etc/apt/sources.list

now update aptitude and install the modules:

apt-get update && aptitude install linux-backports-modules-intrepid

last step is to add the modules to the startup:

echo “blacklist ath_pci” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

reboot and you’re done!

now your should look like this:

root@hades:~# iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wmaster0  no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  ESSID:”"

cheers, chaos

have you ever tryed to compile the kaffeine-sc-plugin (softcam plugin for kaffeine) on ubuntu?

after installing all the lib-packages (X-libs, kernel headers, and so on), you get the message:

Good – your configure finished. Start make now

okay, what shall we do now?

we gonna type “make” now

now it tries to compile but we get an error-message like this:

make[3]: g++34: Kommando nicht gefunden
make[3]: *** [FFdecsa_test.o] Fehler 127
make[3]: Verlasse Verzeichnis ‘/home/chaos/kaffeine-sc-plugin-0.4.0/src/FFdecsa’

so let us have a look into the “Makefile” located in the “src/FFdesca” directory.

we just have to find the line:

COMPILER=g++34

and change it to:

COMPILER=g++

and now retry to compile the plugin (make)

aaand it works, now we have to install it:

make install

finished!

Where is the Softcam key file stored?

it’s located in ~/.kaffeine/SoftCam.Key (case-sensetive)

everything should work now : )
