Re: "speaker-test" audio crackles using whiite - 11 years ago
Kernel modules are created as part of the kernel compilation procedure. The mikeP5 kernel wasn't packaged with all its modules, and they aren't in the whiite distributions either. You can build the kernel from scratch following the directions on GC Linux, or you can check out Easy Wii Linux. I built all the relevant modules and included them in the linux disk image.by linus - Wii Linux

@JoelGP1 & Mc123 Important Connectivity Information: If you are actively using a wiimote as an input device. It may take a few moments for WiFi to connect after wiimote first syncs. "wminput" the daemon that enables the wiimote to be used as a mouse, has a bug. If it is running and you don't have a wiimote synced WiFi may not work. If you are using a USB mouse; you can either connect aby linus - Wii Linux

@keawii Linux does not run alongside of the the wiii system menu, and if you boot using bootmii it doesn't use any of the IOS either.

Booting from the Homebrew Channel Step 1: If you rename EasyWiiLinux.elf to ppcboot.elf and place it in the bootmii folder. When you start the Wii with a SD card is in EWL will boot. No system menu unless you get off the couch and eject the card. Step 2: BootMii Configuration Editor available from the Homebrew Browser.

@Strece EWL uses Farter's Frame Buffer Drivers so it doesn't need an xorg.conf @q885 You cant install EWL to a partition because of how the kerenl is built, but you can access the FAT partition by taking the umounts out of /etc/rc.local.by linus - Wii Linux

Re: Easy Wii Linux: Instant PC - 12 years ago
@theamazingplant2 Start with a snapshot of kernel 2.6.32 apply mikep5 and farter patches. Then build following the ramdisk kernel directions on gc-linux. If you want to explore or copy the EWL initrd(initial ramdisk), just comment out the umount lines in /etc/rc.local. The key file of initrd is /sbin/init. This is the file that mounts the linux disk image and switches root to it. Finally the dby linus - Wii Linux
Re: Unity Support for HBC? - 12 years ago
@owen, I think go hard or go home is a little too extreme. I wrote a few programs for the wii, and now I'm learning to develop for Android. I found C much easier to write, even with just a text editor and command line makefiles. Compared to java and the fancy IDE of eclipseby linus - Coding
Re: Easy Wii Linux: Instant PC - 12 years ago
@mugre1975 I would assume that when you upgraded some of the sudo settings where reset. Try logging in as the user "wii" password "wii" not as root. Then run "xinit /usr/bin/jwm". Or if you are logged in as root. This is the command that is run during boot from /etc/rc.local (su - wii -c "xinit /usr/bin/jwm"). @Noe_misael You can try installing firefox or google chrome.

Re: Easy Wii Linux: Instant PC - 12 years ago
No data collected so far on the use of external DVD drives. A swap partition on the SD card will not be recognized by default. EWL uses a swap file located in the users home directory. This can be reconfigured by editing /etc/rc.local. The FAT partition must be number 1.by linus - Wii Linux
Re: Easy Wii Linux: Instant PC - 12 years ago
There is actually more free physical memory, but it is allocated to currently running processes. So when you run "free" you see only 3MB unused. This RAM can be reallocated without much if any system strain. I'm not sure how to accurately calculate the actual currently unused RAM, but from personal experience I'd say it is more like 20MB.

Re: Easy Wii Linux: Instant PC - 12 years ago
First even after you connect a wiimote or kill the wminput daemon. It may take a few moments for the network to initialize. No more then 30 seconds in my experience. You can open the web browser and if it says DNS error on the bottom, just reload until it connects. Also if at the end of the wifi configuration tool it says network not enable dont worry.

Re: GUI for Debian Lenny - 14 years ago
Adding a gui to whiite is a complex process. You would probably be better served starting with xwhiite which already has one installed. Open Office most likely wont work. The current version requires 256mb of ram, but you can try version 1 which only needs 64mb. Debian linux doesnt use firefox. xwhiite comes with iceweasle installed. Which is just firefox with the non-gpl images removed.by linus - Wii Linux
