You hear sound but you cannot rec Print

Friday, 18 July 2008

I've been struggling getting audio to work for the past our. I finally found out what was wrong... 

I have a number of machine that all need to record from their line-in input. The system administrator already set-up two machines but I needen third one. Somehow I did not get it to record the line-in by recording from the /dev/dsp device, even after I double-checked all alsamixer settings. I could hear the music passing through via the speaker out though!

 Finally I found out that the way to indicate what channel to capture was to use the "alsamixer -V capture" command. By using the space bar you can select what input will be used for capturing.

Turning wireless on in Ubuntu Print
Asus C90s
Thursday, 17 July 2008

During installation of the ndiswrapper (note; 32-bit only!),I found the following:

Sometimes, wireless is disabled during start, so trying wifi will not work.

To enable the wirelessdo the following as root (sudo su -):

. /usr/share/acpi-support/state-funcs
setLEDAsusWireless 1 

This saves a lot of time figuring out why you cannot get wireless to work under (Ubuntu) linux...

Webcam not supported in linux Print
Asus C90s
Thursday, 13 March 2008

The build-in webcam (the 270 degrees turnable on top of the LCD) is not (yet) supported under linux. It seems to run on the GL860 chipset, not to be mistaken for the GL860A (which is supported). The GL860 has not yet linux drivers.

 lsusb shows the following line for this device:

 Bus 001 Device 003: ID 05e3:0503 Genesys Logic, Inc.

See the following links for more details:

My Vondelpark run in Google Earth Print

Wednesday, 26 December 2007

The latest version of Garmin Training Center also includes an export  to KML format, the XML-based format for Google Earth. This creates a wonderful view of my last run, in this case a round through Amsterdam's Vondelpark.

You can also open the KML file directly by clicking on this link, as long as you have the .KML file connected to your Google Earth application. 

As you can see in Google Earth, each square represents a logging from my Garmin forerunner 305 GPS. It records ran distance, heartbeart and speed.
