Tobit can't send/receive mails.

Tobit can't send/receive mails. PROBLEM: The Tobit DvISE System cannot send/receive e-mails, because it receives timeouts from the mailserver(s), although the mailservers themselves can be contacted and polled from the rest of the system without problems. - Assumption: The Tobit services are bindin...

*sigh*

"thou shalt not reinvent the wheel..." Just yesterday I've accidentially discovered, that it's possible to add "min_repeat x" to the remote-control config file (e.g. lircd.conf) which does exactly the same thing - just better. I've experimented a bit and found out that a value of...

Problem with irAssistant

for some (currently still unknown) reason, 'irAssistant' does not receive any more signals from the remote control after some time. [later on that day] hm... I've monitored the packets going from/to the lircd and it seems that although the iptables are supposed to DROP some packets, the received IR ...

one phpBB2 for multiple boards

[PROBLEM] For some unknown reason it seems impossible to run multiple forums with ONE installation of phpBB2 (the one we're using here). One would have to install a copy of phpBB2 for EACH forum he's about to host on the same server which I personally consider a pain in the ass. [SOLUTION] take the ...

IR: 1 RC for several PCs / software switchboard

[PROBLEM] since IR-clients can connect to the lircd to receive IR signals from one central receiver, it's possible to control all other computers in the network. I'm using IRAssistant (on the windows side), but when trying to perform different tasks on different computers with ONE remote, ALL listen...

Festival TTS failed to compile

When trying to compile 'festival' ( http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/projects/festival/ ), I've ran across 2 compile errors because of 'termcap' being used. Although the docs for festival say, that the 'editline' is optional (in 'speech_tools') because it might not compile on some platforms, I've decided to...

mpg123 problem with alsa 1.2.0

Using the mp3-player "mpg123" version 0.59r compiled WITHOUT alsa support (use OSS only), but the system's soundcard running with alsa-driver 1.0.2 didn't have any audible sound output, although: 1) 'aplay' plays a WAV file without problems. 2) alsa-oss modules loaded and /dev/dsp exists a...

Enhancing transmitter quality

Since I am not satisfied with the hit ratio of my transmitter, I am currently experimenting different improvement possibilities. After analyzing signals coming from a standard remote (using 'irw'), I've discovered, that when pushing the button normally, at least 2 pulses are sent. In combination wit...

LED on transmitter

I'm not really sure, if this is supposed to be normal, but immediately after attaching the transmitter to the serial port, the LED is off.
After a few seconds it "fades in" and stays glowing.
Whenever an IR signal is sent, it pulse-flashes (I assume that THIS is normal)

Transmitter quality

Currently, I am rather unhappy with the quality of the transmitter, since it is very intolerant regarding the positioning.

I am suspecting the rather "large" distance between sender and receiver (e.g. TV, DVD-player, ...) which is currently about 4m.

important!

Well, it seems that there's more information needed regarding this: 1) The EHCI driver ONLY supports 2.0 devices (at least that's what it looks like) 2) the OHCI driver is necessary to get 1.1 devices running. On this NEC chip, it is implemented by 2 different USB host controllers which will be show...

USB controller with NEC chipset + Linux

To get an 4xUSB 2.0 controller with a NEC D720100AGM chipset running, use the "ehci-hcd" driver which is marked as experimental in the 2.4.22 kernel. Make sure that "CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y" is set, because otherwise you will not be able to chose the driver at all when using "...
