O2 Joggler Forum

Gonna redo it. Installing XUbuntu it went to a sort of reboot mode.

Next trying this: 0 - apt install software-properties-common python-software-properties 1 - apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily 2 - apt update 3 - apt install linux-image-extra-`uname -r` 4 - apt install --reinstall linux-image-extra-`uname -r` 5 - apt install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms...

OK using a virgin O2 Joggler with no modifications. Wrote hxxps://dl.birdslikewires.net/openframe/ubuntu/testing/ image to a USB stick. 1 - plugged in USB stick and keyboard to a USB hub 2 - booted fine 3 - did the update and dist-upgrade 4 - NOTE: not sure I am doing this right...just letting my fi...

Thank you Andi.

Yes it has been really bad lately with the spam. It comes and goes in waves.

A couple of years ago only solution that worked was not having any new members join the forum for a period of time.

Every day now we have 10 and up new spammers here.

Will test with an original stock O2 Joggler (well with upgraded NIC ROM).

BTW what should I test on ? 1 - O2 Joggler stock with modded NIC ROM and default EFI boot bios (O2 EFI rom) 2 - Openpeak 1 with 1Gb eMMC with built in ZIF, DECT and Zigbee (Avaya boot efi rom) 3 - Openpeak 2 with 2Gb emmc with built in DECT, Zigbee, RTC battery and mini PCiE combo WLAN/Bluetooth mod...

the rabbit hole never ends! That is what I like about Linux more than Windows. ;) Today's endeavor has been 1 - Updating Armbian on a TVBox server running with an Octocore ARM CPU. I am impressed with what these boxes can do (made up 3 headless Ubuntu servers now for automation) 2 - Got a BeeLink P...

I'll help...started my post here by rewriting (by accident your post)......sorry about that.

Will give it a go...

So as I was having problems with the Joggler being used as a screen saver redid the eMMC. It seems to boot faster and it cold boots to Squeezeplayer every time. I resized the second partition making it smaller by some 30Mb and deleted the Fat16 partition and wrote it as a Fat32 partition giving it t...

Smallest here before desktop is 965Mb on a 1Gb eMMC. Thinking you can get by installing Squeezeplayer on the 2 Gb emmc (old OS though) and then add a small desktop to it. That said had my squeezeplayer / screen saver / O2 Joggler / 1Gb emmc working well for two days and then no boot. Gonna try a low...

This one has one of those screens that is almost white on first boot. 1 - wrote the Squeezeplayer OS to the eMMC 2 - booted up with Buzz's first Ubuntu build from a few years back 3 - updated and installed ssh server 4 - writing seabios to rom.... a - ssh'd to Joggler b - plugged in dos boot stick c...

Well trying your way Smiley with a tweak. Found an old Joggler which was apart and sort of modded with an extra USB port and trashed traces for a ZIF connector. Reinstalled the wireless stick and reglued two wires for wireless stuff. Steps: 1 - writing a MAC address first redoing boot bios to Seabio...

Thank you Smiley.

Yes will give this one a try to see if it works on the embedded 1Gb eMMC version of Linux. Might be able to install the lite server and add just what I need for this.

Yes here utilize POE power splitters for Gb connectivity to the Joggler which have worked now for years. I only do this for LAN wired Jogglers. For wireless jogglers continue to utilize the Openpeak PS. Any 2 AMP 5DC regulated power supply will work with these. All Electronics has UK style 2 AMP pow...

Yes if you want you to you can purchase a carpc combo intelligent power supply with USB sensor and amp switch board to do this. IE: many many years ago used a tank power supply (extra battery) with autoswitching such that it would be charged plus an external small intelligent power supply board. It ...

Thank you Andy.

Yes; just want to have a 24/7 screen saver on the Joggler and do a cron job to shut off the screen after hours for mom (~90) here.

Pictures will be either a share or usb stick and access to update will be remote SSH.

I do not have one but do see a bunch of them on Ebay with cradle and hand set these days. Not a good deal right now here in the US at over $50 USD. They are old and used and worth maybe $30 such that I am waiting. Over the years here have not been impressed with consumer Cisco labeled hardware (all ...

Thank you Gary. Yes looking to utilize the Joggler only for this endeavor. 1Gb eMMC for the OS with a minimal or no Linux GUI and the Joggler tabletop will access a share on a Windows 10 desktop which is on all of the time (resting though). Might start with Buzz's minimum server build and go from th...

Looking for an easy way to turn a Joggler (unmodified) in to a screen saver. All I want is SSH to be able to copy pictures to it.

IE: such that when it boots up it goes directly to a screen saver...no menu nothing else...

This is a little project for gifting Jogglers.

Wow! Yes here tried a lite XPe like run on a virtualenv configuration. It worked but was really slow. Did you utilize the no-site-packages option when setting up your virtualenv? Thinking it is the default now anyhow. Chromium, Firefox and Opera work except that they are really slow. Here went to ti...
