How To Build A Rolling Mirror

Fedora 11 x86_64 - Enable USB in Virtualbox 3




The inability to use USB devices within the client VirtualBox OSE is a real nuisance, having regard to the excellent features provided by this application, thanks to the guest additions, especially for those who virtualize Windows XP and the devices that are struggling to be recognized by our beloved Linuxbox.

the Debian world there are hundreds of posts that provide the solution to this problem, while for Fedora a little 'less, especially in Italian :-).

The solution I found in this

post.

Then, as I tried to apply the proposed solution and everything runs smoothly, I thought it might be useful to summarize here. console root: # gedit / etc / rc.d / rc.sysinit
edit (with #) the line 26

26 # mount-n-t usbfs / proc / bus / usb / proc / bus / usb
and add after the line
mount-t usbfs-o remount, devgid = $ (awk-F: '/ ^ vboxusers: / {print $ 3}' / etc / group), devmode = 664 / proc / bus / usb / proc / bus / usb
to obtain
24 modprobe usbcore> / dev / null 2> & 1 & & mount-n-t usbfs / proc / bus / usb / proc / bus / usb
25 else
26 # mount-n-t usbfs / proc / bus / usb / proc / bus / usb mount-t
27 usbfs-o remount, devgid = $ (awk-F: '/ ^ vboxusers: / {print $ 3}' / etc / group), devmode = 664 / proc / bus / usb / proc / bus / usb 28 fi save and exit gedit always give root console # gedit / etc/udev/rules.d/10-vboxdrv.rules and change, in line 1, the value of MODE from 600 to 660 and save

Efficient use of the restart

Fedora 11 x86_64 - Install webcam Microdia SN9C201 + OV9650





The following instructions found on the net, but I could not find them in Italian, so I thought to post it.

Type: $ lsusb
if you get a result like this:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0c45: 624f Microdia PC Camera (SN9C201 + OV9650)

then you have a good chance that your camera is working with this procedure :-)

First, if you are not already in the system, install git, kernel-headers, kernel-devel and ctags:

$ sudo yum install git kernel-headers kernel-devel ctags

I assume that the Fedora repository, and update the various RPMFusion are active

Now we can type, in sequence: $ git clone

http://repo.or.cz/r/microdia.git
Microdia
$ make $ cd

Now, as root: # modprobe videodev


# modprobe
v4l1-compat modprobe v4l2-compat-ioctl32
insmod sn9c20x.ko

therefore, to verify that the module is correctly loaded: # dmesg



sn9c20x: SN9C20X USB 2.0 webcam driver loaded
sn9c20x: USB SN9C20X 2.0 Webcam - 0C45: 624F plugged-in.
sn9c20x: Detected Sensor OV9650.
sn9c20x: SN9C20X USB 2.0 Webcam is now controlling video device / dev/video0
usbcore: registered new interface driver usb_sn9c20x_driver sn9c20x: [E] Empty buffer queue. To store the installation
# strip-g sn9c20x.ko
sn9c20x.ko # cp / lib / modules / `uname-r` / kernel / drivers / media / video / usbvideo / # depmod-a


procedure ends.

To operate the webcam with mplayer (I recommend pettinatevi before:-D):

For a 32-bit installation:
$ LD_PRELOAD = / usr/lib/libv4l/v4l2convert.so mplayer tv: / /-tv driver = v4l2: width = 640: height = 480: fps = 25: device = / dev/video0-vo x11

To install a 64-bit
$ LD_PRELOAD = / mplayer tv usr/lib64/libv4l/v4l2convert.so : / /-tv driver = v4l2: width = 640: height = 480: fps = 25: device = / dev/video0-vo x11

at this point it should work default with amsn.


PS If you upgrade the kernel the webcam may not work (the new kernel does not see the form).
around this problem, assuming that the files have been downloaded from the repo (Giáš­. ..), repeat the steps: $ cd

Microdia


$ make # modprobe videodev # modprobe compat-
ioctl32
# insmod sn9c20x.ko

# strip-g sn9c20x.ko
sn9c20x.ko # cp / lib / modules / `uname-r` / kernel / drivers / media / video / usbvideo / # depmod-a



Enjoy ;-)

Is Shotacon Illegal In Ut

Fedora 11 x86_64 - Beyond the basic installation






useful additional programs not included in the base (Fedora Gnome desktop) to be installed later

Abstract:
The following list of programs not included in the base, divided by type, that is what I consider useful for normal use, obviously each one can establish a right of use as required, it must be understood as an example for users :-)

average total, and dependencies between packages, is added over 1 Gb of data: tenetene account, especially for the time download packages from the repositories

Many belong to the DE KDE, but also work fine under Gnome, of course, involves the installation of these packages installation, such as addiction, many KDE packages.
If you already have it installed by itself or as alternatives to Gnome, well, otherwise do no harm ;-).

NB to login, if you have more than one DE, Fedora allows you to choose from time to time with which DE (Gnome, KDE, Xfce, etc.). Login.

Given the amount of packages, you should load them in two or three stages, making a reboot every now and then; un'accortezza is not essential but serves to verify the stability of the system.

Selected Programs provide for a normal use of the PC / notebook, of course, suggestions for addition or modification to this list are more than welcome

The number of rows and columns can obviously be varied at will, depending on the number of links you want to have available for direct access and the size of these windows installation :-) Good
