I released version 0.1-11 of Freecity Mod, my player for the french ISP "Free". The concept is a multimedia application build around VLC, with an SQL-based backend, able to stream over http onto the freebox or any other destination. The source of the streams can be DVD, videos from streaming sites, images, sound etc.
It is entirely written in Perl5, more precisely modperl - to run within Apache2.2. Demos available at Freecity Mod Videos, dailymotion. The packages are available at the SourceForge Freecity Mod Download page. Right now, only the streaming sites are functionnal - here is a snapshot: Just install the package (install Perl5 and Apache.2.2 beforehand on Windows), make sure you have a VLC binary that is not MPEG-2 orphaned (like on debian because of s/w patents...), and go to http://localhost:8080. French people must configure something else on their router to get it on the TV -; they should (have to) know. In fact freecity could run, I believe, with many other ISP boxes that are able to receive an stream from VLC. With the french ISP's box, so-called the freebox, there is a big constraint: HTML-3.2 and nothing else (no frame, cookies, javascript, etc...). That's why the output of freecity is rather static - nevertheless there is javascript to handle all modern browsers, in case you access Freecity from your PC. So yes, with Freecity, you can watch on your TV a lot of videos that comes from famous video streaming sites, e.g. YouTube, DailyMotion, Megavideo, etc... Dimanche, 5 avril 2009

So, finally I decided not to take the zen patchset and start from debian's linux kernel. Here is how I did it (note that I did that as root, thus no fakeroot but still a make xconfig):
apt-get install linux-source-2.6.24 Please note that I explicitely left unchecked the ralink that is in the mainline tarball. Instead I built all the ralink modules family using the cvs snapshots that are at the rt2x00 download page. On one of my desktop I need rt2570 module, and oh well, it works. Hibernation as well. I'll try on another desktop, that needs rt2500pci.

linux-2.6.24 and ralink Posté par Jean-Damien Durand

Wouaouh, the linux kernel 2.6.24 is out. I gave it a try, together with the zen-sources but, bad luck since a long time with linux kernel, the version of rt2x00 that is now in the mainline is somewhat buggy. Indeed, even if I do not mind seeing my good old ra0 device between moved to two devices: wmaster0 and wlan0 (after changing /etc/udev/rules.d/z25_persistent-net.rules, otherwise you get a wlan0_renamed device!), I never manager to associate to my AP!
So I will give it another try, sure, but I will not compile rt2x00 family that is in the official tarball. Crossing fingers. EDIT: ahem, just easy as quoted here Mardi, 13 novembre 2007
Playing with framebuffer Posté par Jean-Damien Durand

I played a bit with the matrix theme at kde-look.org. And indeed, this was quite funny to see a (static, though) matrix image at early boot, then at system startup, and also as a KDE (which the desktop I am using) startup splash. I just miss the kdm background and desktop backgrounds and I'll have a consistent matrix in front of me!
Btw, I packaged it for debian: # Obviously I will try to packages others; and to fix at least this one. There are three packages: 1 - matrix-fbsplash-theme 2 - matrix-grub-theme 3 - matrix-ksplash-theme How to configure them: 1 - matrix-fbsplash-theme If you want to see that at early bootup; then make sure you have the splashutils-initramfs package installed, change the /etc/splash/default link to point to the matrix directory: ls -l /etc/splash/default and reconfigure splashutils-initramfs: splashutils-initramfs If you want to see that at normal system boot, change your kernel command-line to have theme:matrix. I know this is not really uniform; now I realise that; and I will try to fix it in the next releases of splashutils. 2 - matrix-grub-theme You will need to replace grub with grub-gfxboot. Packages for i386 and amd64 are at: this page describing grub-gfxboot installation! Please take care, and make sure you reinstall grub as explained at this page! The deb location is: # Grub gfx boot Then you will just have to add a line like (this is what I did): grep gfx /boot/grub/menu.lst Of course; you already know that GRUB counts from zero. I.e. on my machine this correspond to /dev/hda5. Currently the default language is italien - oups! Press F2 to switch to english - I think I'll can fix that 3 - matrix-ksplash-theme A bit easier. After login to KDE, go to the control center, Appearance & Themes, splash Screen, and select1apply Matrix-splash: Jeudi, 1 novembre 2007
Linux 2.6.23-kamikaze5 SMP PREEMPT i686 Posté par Jean-Damien Durand

Waiting for a mature kamikaze patchset, I guess the version kamikaze5 is a good candidate. And its name, vipernicus, reminded to all of us very good time with the so-called viper patchsets!
So here we go, I have compiled it, uvesafb+smp+preemptible, enabled almsot eveyrthing except paravirtualization (did not compile on my box !?), and is available for i686 only, but with its source, here: deb http://jeandamiendurand.free.fr/debian/kernel sid main There are also nvidia, ndiswrapper and a recent rt2570 (as of date of this ticket). This kernel rocks. Please note that if you use uvesafb you will need to install the v86d package. See my splashutils page (link is at the left of this page). Enjoy. Note: right now fbsplashd segfaults with suspend2, so hibernation seems broken - I'll have a look later Edit: not reproduced. I tested hibernation and resume, works for me, with the splash. Please do never forget to remove modules that do not resume well. rt2570 (and you will have to stop/start its associated network in suspend2 configuration) is one of them - for me at least. So I persist: enjoy! Mercredi, 26 septembre 2007nfft-3.0.3

My previous version using kamikaze4 patchset was wrong, it had both vesafb-tng and uvesafb in the kernel. I have compiled 2.6.22's kamikaze5 patchset with only spock's uvesafb in the kernel. And indeed, splashutils works fine. So this mean uvesafb is ok.
You will need to install v86d package if you wish to use the uvesafb video driver. Uploaded to: ## Search for "*kamikaze5*" If you want to compile yourself you might want to do manually two other changes to the patchset (to be done also if you download my linux-source package): 1. If you compile ipw3945 net driver, then add EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DIPW3945_COMPAT=1 in drivers/net/wireless/Makefile 2. If you compile oss sound modules, then remove any *_syms.o in sound/oss/Makefile |
