[tuxdroid-user] V2 ramblings

[Egbert Jan van den Bussche]

Hi list,

I've bought my Tuxdroid in Feb. 2007. Host PC is a Dell D600 laptop running
Mandriva Linux 2009.0.

After having played with V1.3-RC2 for some time, I switched to V2. First I
used V2.0.x but yesterday I found 2.1.0 on the Kysoh download server and
installed that version on the laptop.

The idea to use a webserver to channel all traffic to the droid is
excellent! I had always problems with the V1 tuxd dying before anything
could be done (Ubuntu problem also on Mandriva? Seems a udev problem to me).

Followed the guidelines in the Howto section of the wiki. Download worked
fine but the tarballs seem NOT to be gzipped. I had to unpack with plain
'tar xvf', 'tar zxvf' throws an error at me.

All firmwares were updated using the new tuxup. For some reason the install
path seems to have changed from /opt in V2.0.x to /usr in V2.1.0. Should not
really matter but I'm not sure this is applied all over the distribution.
(since I have several problems to get Controlcenter to do what it should do
and the DutchBelgium voice seems not to work).

Some other ramblings:
The (US) voices only work after playing one of the attitunes with the
Attitune Creator and thaae back to 'Control the Tuxdroid'.

In the Control_Center I cannot see any local gadgets and/or attitumes. I'm
quite sure I had them in the V2.0.x control center. The gadgets are located
in he 'MyTux' folder but are not shown in Controlcenter. Why? Is the
(hardwired???) path in the Controlcenter wrong? The 'online'
gadgets/attitunes show a window with icons but whatever I try to click or
drag to the 'my preferences' on the left, I get an error about a wrong URL.

Is it possible to add a 'status' to the tuxhttpserver? I have installed the
init script and can use 'service tuxhttpserver stop/start' but I would like
to be able to check the status before I restart. BTW does the server dies
when the Controlcenter is closed?

I have no knowledge at all of C++, Java or python and have not the faintest
idea where to look for a config file (if any...).

Thanks for any assistance!

Hello,



Thank you for your feedbacks.

Tuxsetup2.1.0 is a beta version. I try to change all the installation PATHs

(as you've seen) from /opt to /usr/...

It's not easy to do, because many soft has hardcoded path.



- Concerning the problems with the control center and the TTS voice, I

don't have seen this problem during my tests. But it's good to know, and

I'll clean my system and test it again.



- For the tarball, you're right : it's not gzipped. I'll fixed that for the

nexts versions.



- Again, the problem with the attitunes and gadgets list on the control

center is quiete strange. I'll dig it and try to find the problem.



- For the server status, there is two logfiles located on /var/log :

httpserver (log created when the server starts and load the resources)

tuxhttpserver (server activity, such as a client connection /

disconnection, etc).
