Linux και rapidshare

kornilios — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:28:53 +0000

Το rapidshare (πιθανώς) το ξέρετε. Ό,τι πιο εύχρηστο για γρήγορη ανταλλαγή αρχείων. Ανεβάζεις το αρχείο που θες στους servers του rapidshar, μοιράζεις το link που σου δίνει και αυτό ήταν. Τι γίνεται όμως οταν θες να κατεβάσεις μαζικά links, και η ιδέα και μόνο του να το κάνεις από τον browser σε κάνει να βαριέσαι απίστευτα;

Βρήκα το aria, έναν (αρκετά λιτό σε interface) παντοδύναμο downloader για linux το οποίο υποστηρίζει rapidshare (και ίσως να υποστηρίζει και άλλες υπηρεσίες) authentication

aria

sudo apt-get install aria

Alt-O, General, authentication, *insert rapidshare account info*, voila

Logitech Fusion & Ubuntu 7.10

Μετά από άπειρο πειραματισμό κατέληξα στο συμπέρασμα οτι η εν λογω κάμερα ειναι γτπ και υπολειτουργεί.

‘

UVC

Contents

UVC Stands for ‘USB Video Class’. It defines video streaming functionality on the Universal Serial Bus. UVC compliant peripherals only need a generic driver; much like mass storage devices (USB flash disks, External disc enclosures, etc.) can be managed by a single driver because they conform to the USB Mass Storage specification.

UVC Linux Driver

The GNU/Linux UVC Driver page is at http://linux-uvc.berlios.de/ and includes a list of supported devices

UVC support in Ubuntu

7.10 and later

In 7.10 the UVC module has been included which means that some webcams ‘just work’ however UVC is still at an early stage and device support and bugfixes are being added all the time. It may well be necessary to update to the latest version to get your hardware to work, in particular Skype will only work properly if you have uvc version 166 or above, earlier driver versions freeze up after a minute or so with some cameras.

7.04 and earlier

UVC support is not included and you’ll have to install it yourself.

Installing UVC

UVC has not released any ‘snapshots’ yet and has not been packaged and included in the Ubuntu repositories. There is a debian package located [url http://packages.debian.org/unstable/graphics/linux-uvc-source here] but the best way at the moment is to grab the latest build from the Subversion repository and compile it yourself.

Checkout from SVN

If you do not already have subversion installed get it with:

sudo apt-get install subversion

Then get that latest source from the repository with:

svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/linux-uvc/linux-uvc/trunk

This will make the directory ‘trunk’ containing the source in your working directory

Build

Make sure you have kernel header files. In Ubuntu 7.10 and later, you need the header files package specific to your CPU architecture, for example, linux-headers-2.6.22-14-386 in addition to just linux-headers-2.6.22-14. You can do this with:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`

Navigate to the ‘trunk’ directory containing the source and run:

make

Install

Ubuntu keeps the kernel module for UVC in /lib/modules/your kernel/ubuntu/media/usbvideo and the makefile has to be altered slightly to install to the correct directory. Open the the makefile in a text editor and change :

INSTALL_MOD_DIR := usb/media

to'

INSTALL_MOD_DIR := ubuntu/media/usbvideo

then run

sudo make install

Insert Modules

sudo modprobe uvcvideo

If you’re running 7.10 this may complain that the module’s already loaded. In that case unplug your camera and remove the old module with :

sudo modprobe -r uvcvideo

then insert the new one again as above
