Decide to play some more today and use my Cisco joggler.
I had no luck again with the install and wireless.
It need wireless-tools and wpa_supplicant before it would play.
I then decide to fire up my "betting-shop" joggler that I have been
using for these excitements.
It has Squeezeplay on the internal ram.
Connected by Ethernet and looking in /etc/network/interfaces I found,
> # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
> # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
>
> # The loopback network interface
> auto lo
> iface lo inet loopback
>
> auto eth0
> iface eth0 inet dhcp
>
> auto wlan0
> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
I then filled in the wireless connection details on the joggler,
rebooted and looked again,
> auto lo
> iface lo inet loopback
>
> auto wlan0
> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
> wpa-ssid "plusnet*****"
> wpa-psk "*******"
I substituted the script in the Jivelite file, rebooted and Jivelite
connected fine.
I then did
Code:
--------------------
sudo apt-get install xorg openbox
--------------------
after a long wait I rebooted and Jivelite came up. This time it was
showing all my Squeezeboxen that I have connected to the LMS.
That's six instead of the previous three.
This set me thinking about which gui SqueezePlay uses.
I did ls -a from home and sudo nano .xinitrc, which gave me
> export DISPLAY=:0.0
> setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0
> xset dpms 0 0 0 s off
> if [ -f /opt/squeezeplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh ]; then
> /opt/squeezeplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh
> else
> xterm
> fi
Looked over on /opt/squeezeplay/bin, thls gave me more clues to examine.
Mostly I have to google stuff to find out what it is and roughly what it
does.
Then where it goes in the tree of life.
Then explore the "where" by just opening folders to see what's in them.
It certainly keeps me off the streets.
