Friday, June 6th, 2008 Eee PC 901 One of the more significant changes is support for Bluetooth has made significant progress, just like the test has been able to use mobile phones with Bluetooth pairing to do, send / receive files, send / receive business cards, and dial-up Internet access to mobile phones As a remote control! Teaching small: 1. By using the "search for devices" like scanners in the vicinity of the Bluetooth device, this case is that my Sony Ericsson W660i phone. 2. Do not have to match, select mobile phones, and then press the "phone dial-up Internet access." 3. Enter "username", "password" and "dial-up number" and "APN", the information could be asked to telecommunications providers, or see related article in XEPC before. 4. Press the "dial-up (D)" button, if not done prior to the match, it will have to enter your key at the same time in the same type of mobile phone key, in order to complete this step. 5. Will be able to enter the correct after the Internet! 6. In addition, according to the main menu screen "file transfer" would like to see this FTP interface, you can upload / download files. 7. If you have a remote control handset features in the main menu screen according to the "man-machine interface" button, the phone use as a mouse. 8. "Exchange information" button can be used to send cell phone or computer in the phone book or business card. Unfortunately, programs like this can only cope with the Eee PC 901 using the built-in Bluetooth. Posted in hardware applications | 7 Comments »
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 So far, Eee PC has been popular for some time, I believe we all frequently see some changes to update the original systematic approach, but there are a few points, it is necessary to pay attention to, failure to update a minor issue, it is necessary to reload, then the trouble. :-) Do not find everywhere, "deb package" to install the Eee PC, as a public deb package be divided into two categories is to use the Debian, Ubuntu One is to use, although the Eee PC "roughly" based on Xandros ( The rough is a little further modified version of Debian), but because of the need to adapt to the Eee PC's hardware environment and speed, a lot of time will modify the original set of Debian, Debian even if the direct use of Ubuntu to put deb package, or directly Adding debian / ubuntu things in sources.list, and then install just the What, is likely to result in inconsistent system, even damaged. For example, several users have encountered the "perl" or "kde" application of the problem is that Eee PC with an official Debian package is not compatible caused. There are many so-called "direct partition in the first hands-on" approach to update that can be saved in the second partition of the space on the way, there is a certain danger in this, but if the success of the installation may be some problems, some friends before the event Have been to, I have explained before, will now elaborate. XEPC.org reference to the file system on which an article, you will find that Eee ... Posted in teaching-related hardware and applications, software applications | 15 Comments »
Saturday, January 5th, 2008 Eee PC in order to add Bluetooth functionality, it must install kdebluetooth. However, ASUS is using the Xandros version of KDE, even naming version of Debian with a bit of a different, so can not directly install the Debian version of the kdebluetooth, it is the only Canal to the source code for the Sounds. Sounds made to the original kdebluetooth difficult than imagined, because the KDE development of the necessary software does not, it should not even kdelibs, kdebase, kdeutils, kdepim also a hard re-explain it. A busy day, finally finished, use the following method: first XEPC.org together with the software library (methods of reference before the article). Re-implementation of sudo apt-get update to update the database, the final implementation of sudo apt-get install kdebluetooth will automatically install all the necessary things. Eee PC is not used as a normal boot mode, dbus with bluetooth services are not open, so you want to use Bluetooth to the terminal prior to the importation of a number of directives to open the Bluetooth support: sudo / etc / init.d / dbus start sudo / etc / init.d / bluetooth start kbluetooth & Bluetooth will appear in the lower right corner of the icon, right-click with the mouse can KBlueMon open the program to scan a Bluetooth mobile phone, of course, you must first open the phone's Bluetooth. Can send files to the phone. Can also receive files (in the first right-click menu of choices available to local detection - Discoverable). The speed of the file to receive good!

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007 Recently, busy at work, today there is finally a little bit of time to study the end of the Eee PC Bluetooth difficulties, "matching". In fact, the Eee PC Bluetooth support can be very close, but the new version of bluez-utils no pin_helper or directly to the passkey on the settings file, but the use of the dbus to call an external program to do the PIN matching action . In the normal Debian to be done if the matching action, usually a called KDE or GNOME programs, but not on the Eee PC, for two reasons: Eee PC does not support a complete GNOME, KDE and is also a non-native Debian version of the half but the version of Xandros, we do not have a PIN code, can not match. Internet looking for a long time, finally found, I would like to thank Slackware, because Slackware's package included a write their own dbus the PIN-based programs, like the trial, the success of the match! Eee PC in the next step is to add ... Posted in hardware applications | 5 Comments »
Sunday, December 2nd, 2007 Since Bluetooth Nangao so, we will use USB connection to the Internet, though a bit of trouble. Teaching to the 1. Insert the USB connection, with access to the phone, make sure that the system be able to see the phone in dmesg see USB ACM device on the right. 2. Open the "3G network settings", select "dial-up." 3. Chosen to use the modem (this is my red Sony Ericsson W660i, ultra-noble, oh ... say too much), "Details" if his / dev/ttyACM0's. 4. Importation of dial-up phone numbers, usually * 99 # 1 *** (on behalf of the mobile phone in the first door, there are more than one can be 2, 3, etc.), the first code suffix do not have to fill. 5. Enter the network name (do not know, look at the phone on the "APN" can be set), password just to fill the general use of "guest". 6. Connected to the name. 7. Check whether there have chosen the wrong path, and then completed. 8. To return to the network connection, the election could be "Dialup connection" or you change the name of the connection. 9. Dial-up, ah very nervous. 10. Dial-up success! 10. Successful, xfastest.com show the phone to dial-up connection. Posted in teaching-related hardware and application | 17 Comments »
Wednesday, November 14th, 2007 In the Eee PC, Bluetooth has already been a 80 per cent of support. It is a pity that the Eee PC does not implement their own systems "dbus" and "bluetooth", and there is a Bluetooth phone between the "matching" is very difficult to move. Then try to do so, insert the Bluetooth USB after: 1. To open the terminal: Ctrl-Alt-T 2. Metamorphosis to become super user: sudo-s, of course, make the password. 3. Was not open to open services, including dbus and bluetooth: / etc / init.d / dbus start / etc / init.d / bluetooth start 4. Almost! Try to open the Bluetooth cell phone, and then enter this command: hcitool scan should be able to find the phone, to show "xx: xx: xx: xx: xx: xx PhoneName". But the pair Eee PC ... because there is no gnome not kde, you do not match GUI, only in / etc / bluetooth / hcid.conf there was a pin code to pair with. Matching orders (the former is to connect only matching, which is the first match): rfcomm bind ... Posted in hardware applications | 6 Comments »
Friday, November 9th, 2007 Eee PC's small eyes seem to only be used to self-timer, MSN does not, Skype can not. Linux's recent Skype 2.0 beta out to support the video, try to install the Eee PC, but the error did not find the small eyes. Curious to open under the original Eee PC camera program, but also can ah, really strange. Look at it that it is UCVideo with the driver, then take a look at the information network, http://www.unicap-imaging.org/ it is the support of video4linux2 should be able to use skype. I have to look at the Terminal in dmesg results, finally. UCView to open in the program before the eyes of small "Disconnected", to open only after the "plug in" USB port, how can this action of the manual to do that?, Then the little eyes can be used in other parts of the ! Update: to find a way! As long as the echo 1> / proc / acpi / asus / camera will be able to use. Posted in teaching-related hardware and application | 5 Comments »
