More newbie questions and how tos? (modified 0 times) stevewu99 Profile | Email First off, I would like to thank everyone here for their help and generosity. First I have a few questions about some features found in both Jukebox’s and Infinity’s images and the Audrey in general. 1) In the task bar (shelf?), what is backdrop, notification, and action palette (not always there)? 2) What does Neutrino Sin! do? 3) Under Control Panels, what does Network Shares do? 4) How do I mount a Windows shared directory? I guess this is how I would play MP3s and view pictures. 5) In devices like Pocket PCs, you can allocate internal memory to storage or performance. Does the Audrey do anything like this? 6) How do I remove unwanted programs? Can I just erase the file or directory the shelf shortcut points to? Again, thanks to everyone for the help. Hopefully I’ll start understanding some of this in time. Steve 04-03-2002 19:03:04

RE:More newbie questions and how tos? (modified 0 times) feanish Profile hey... I went through all this in the last couple days, I know how frustrating this can be... these images are REALLY hard for a newbie to setup, granted, I'm no expert, at all... but here is what I know.... 1) there are a couple applications that have (or are... I guess you can get rid of notification...) to be running... these are started up right away, so they're automatically added to the taskbar 2) Neutrino Sin! is mainly for QNX hackers... I know nothing about it 3) control panels must be an infinity thing... I don't have that 4) if you're using jukebox-usb1, you have to edit the shelf entry... to do this, hit [paste]+enter to bring up the menu, then go to shelf cfg once you're in shelf cfg, go to the second shelf, you should recognize the entries as the ones on the right bar... go down to "networking" and then click on "windows Share" in there, it'll bring up a box labeled "command to launch"... this is the hardest part (it's not very hard at all...) this is a basic template of what you need to type in: /nto/bin/fs-cifs -a //[computer name]:[111.111.111.111]:/[share name] /[mount directory] guest guest replace the 111.1.11.... with the computer's IP address you are connecting to, and the other stuff as shown, and you're good to go... of course you have to have the share on your computer, with anonymous access enabled (or "everyone" in win2k) I got it to work with a username/password other than guest, but I can't remember how... for some reason just using that username/password combo won't work... but it could have been something else too here is what mine looks like: /nto/bin/fs-cifs -a //theflophouse:192.168.0.13:/mp3s /mp3s guest guest then when you boot up, just click on "windows share" in your bar, and it's mounted... the rest of the stuff I don't know about for sure... I have gotten into trouble before by deleting things (I installed voyager, then decided I wanted to un-install.... don't do that) I'm still having problems keeping my static IP address and gateway... everytime I boot, it resets itself ***************************** ATTENTION ALL AUDREY USERS, EVEN NON-NEWBIES ***************************** with jukebox-usb1, I've gotten a logitech USB optical mouse to work, and even more importantly, the mac optical mouse (the one button clear-plastic sucker....) it works awesome for the audrey! nothing special is required to do this... sometimes it has to be plugged in when you boot up, but sometimes it doesnt... good luck -Dusty 04-03-2002 20:12:49

RE:More newbie questions and how tos? (modified 0 times) stevewu99 Profile | Email Dusty, Thanks for the info. I think I may be able to help on the ip thing. I was up against the opposite thing last night. My Audrey (using Infinity’s Image) would boot up with a static ip and I use DHCP. Try changing the network settings from the Audrey Options button under Internet Setting/Advanced information. Hope that helped. Steve 04-03-2002 20:23:28

RE:More newbie questions and how tos? (modified 0 times) booya Profile I got my wifes imac hockey puck mouse lying around somewhere... that should work also. Hrmmm.. after thinking about this for 2 seconds I think the 2nd mouse button is the only reason to outfit Audrey with a mouse. Otherwise the stylus works the same as a one button mouse, no? Get help, chat, and be merry.. Join #audrey on Efnet 04-03-2002 21:33:28

RE:More newbie questions and how tos? (modified 0 times) Infinity Profile 1) In the task bar (shelf?), what is backdrop, notification, and action palette (not always there)? A: backdrop is required for the hardware buttons to work, if disabled in rm-apps the hardware buttons will all fail, the notification is required for the auto shut off feature to work, if disabled the screen will stay on all the time. Action palette stays in the taskbar when invoked by the hardware button or shelf shortcut. 2) What does Neutrino Sin! do? A: neutrino sin is like task manager for windows. it tells you what processes you have running, you can slay processes just as you would in task manager in windows. This is good for hackers to see what is running at all times. 3) Under Control Panels, what does Network Shares do? A: network shares are empty in the beginning, you have to set up the commands for each share item in shelf config. once you're in shelf config locate the item you want, and you will see that the command line is empty. put in your share here. this can also be added to /kojak/boot.sh to automatically have your shares loaded at startup. 4) How do I mount a Windows shared directory? I guess this is how I would play MP3s and view pictures. A: for windows the command is this: /nto/bin/fs-cifs -a //windowscomputername:the.ip.address.here:/sharefolder /mountfolderonaudrey username password if you are using win2k or above you may need to create a username and password for audrey to log in with. you can use anything for username and password for win98. now it doesnt matter which drive your shared folder is, just use the name. you don't have to type c:/sharefolder. 5) In devices like Pocket PCs, you can allocate internal memory to storage or performance. Does the Audrey do anything like this? A: i don't think this is possible, but you can create a swap space to improve performance. personally i don't see any improvements after creating a swap space. you will need the swapctl file in order to create a swap space. I have this in my 1.1 boot.sh file just uncomment the swapctl line, reboot and it will create a 2M swap space at startup. 6) How do I remove unwanted programs? Can I just erase the file or directory the shelf shortcut points to? A:use the file explorer or use pterm to delete actual program, then go into shelf config and remove the shortcut item. http://home.attbi.com/~kenzhao8/index.html 04-04-2002 06:36:49

RE:More newbie questions and how tos? (modified 0 times) stevewu99 Profile | Email I think I'm getting closer. What I was trying to do was opening the file /kojak/windowshare or /kojak/windowshare.sh and adding "/nto/bin/fs-cifs -a //windowscomputername:the.ip.address.here:/sharefolder /mountfolderonaudrey username password" there and not adding it to the box labeled "command to launch". Now my Win machine shows that Aurdey as logged on and Audrey has created a /MyMusic directory, but nothing's in it. Steve 04-04-2002 16:00:39
