Hey how you doing mate,

Follow these steps inside terminal and you should get the 8168 NIC working. my 2nd NIC runs on the 8111 driver and works out of the box.

Setting up the 8168 NIC

   19  cd /etc/                                                         
   18  cd modprobe.d                                                     
   19  nano blacklist 

add a line “blacklist r8169”     
                                           
   20  update-initramfs -k all -u                                       
   21  rmmod r8169                                                       
   22  cp r8168.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/
   23  depmod                                                                           
   24  modprobe r8168                                                                   
   25  lshw -C Network          (this should show r8168 now to be the driver)

Cheers

maybe try and setup a different device such as a mobile phone to confirm your core does not have a corruption.

cheers

How does the screen look when you use web orbitor 2.0 ? Is it a problem with the APK app or the proxy orbiter I wonder...

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Web_Orbiter_2.0

maybe it might be worth trying to create another proxy orbiter and specify a different resolution.

Thank you Schmich for your direction. Seems the orbiter had the correct IP and port number already specified. I needed to refresh the screen through the LMCE software. Seems to have solved the problem.

No worries Mat, no damage done. Thanks for your efforts.

Marper, why don't you try out the android APK application. You wont need to mess around with resolution as the software does it automatically.

Cheers
Dan

Hey Mat,
From your 1st post:
“Incidentally, this is the value that you must enter in the touch orbiter settings”

Just to clarify, port number being 3641, I have been through the settings of my tablet touch orbiter. I cannot locate where such a number should be inputted. Could you please point me in the right direction.

Cheers
Dan

From the below web site:

http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Web_Orbiter_2.0 point  

Section 1.8 informs :

 "A new Generic Proxy Orbiter will also be created automatically"

So I think a proxy orbitor and web orbitor is the same thing...

 The web orbitor works just fine when used through http://192.168.80.1/lmce-admin/weborbiter.php through my internal LAN.

The WAP is connected to my 5 port switch which is connected to my internal network.

For testing purposes I have hooked my tablet straight into my 5 port lan bypassing the WAP. My tablet has an rj45 connnection so I have connected it to my switch using an ethernet cable. As I said before this all works when I dont activate static IP inside my tablet.

I dont think I need to delete the web orbitor as it works just fine through a browser. Seems to be a connection problem when I try to use the APK app.

After going through the instructions for installing android touch:

install apk
Done

set the server IP (which is the Core IP - default: 192.168.80.1)
Input this into tablet, static IP option

set the server port of your proxy orbiter.
core has automatiically given me a server port nuber of 3641

port number - it is set as part of the device data for the proxy orbiter (use linuxMCE admin).  
Is this the same as the server port number? where do I need to input this number?


Cheers
Dan

Alright Matt,

I’ve tried connecting the tablet straight to the network switch using a cat 5 cable. The network switch is connected to the internal NIC. When I specify an IP of 192.168.80.1 I get a connection problem icon on my tablet. When the IP is not specified (left blank) tablet works fine.  

I have a 2nd MD connected to the switch so know everything is ok with the setup. Seems to be a problem between the switch and the tablet.

Regarding the orbiters I have created inside web-admin. I currently have 2 onscreen orbiters and 1 proxy orbiter setup. I will check tonight to make sure the 2nd on screen orbiter does not have the same port number as the proxy orbiter.

Reading from the Wiki for web orbiter 2.0 it states “if this Web Orbiter is not your first then you should increment this value by one” my question: is a web orbiter the same thing as an on screen orbiter?

just thinking out loud here. what are the chances of the 2nd MD (assuming the 2nd onscreen orbitor will be using the same port as 2nd MD) using the same port number (3641) as the proxy orbitor. Will discover this when I have a look tonight i suppose...

Cheers
Daniel

Hi thanks for the reply,

I am currently using android orbiter through my local web browser. I have set up a proxy orbiter, everything is working fine. Apart from the resolution which I've been informed sorts itself out when you use the APK file.

I have the APK application installed but get "connection failed". Part of my configuration is not setup correctly. Cant figure out what thou?

cheers
Dan

HI,

I have now downloaded the APK file from the link provided. Thanks for that.
I have set the IP address on my tablet to 192.168.80.1. This is found under settings>ethernet configuration>IP address
I try to open application and still get connection failed.

Where abouts do I have to input the listen port 4 digit number into the tablet?

Cheers
Dan

Sorry lame ass answer there....

Just downloaded apk file and installed it on my tablet. When I try to open application I get connection failed. The Wiki page informs that Ineed to set server IP. Where might I find this IP?

To set up my device, do I need to specify static IP inside ethernet configuration ?

Cheers
Dan
 

Thanks

Hi,

I have purchased a fly touch 2 tablet to use as an orbiter. At the moment I am trying to set up the screen resolution. The resolution for the device according to this website is 1024 x 600

http://blog.wholesaleonepiece.com/black-fly-touch-3-superpad-2-android-2-2-tablet-pc/

I have chosen the 1024 x 600 resolution from the admin page and done a full regen. 1024 seems to fit well. 600 is to big. I have tried to reduce the 600 to 550 as an experiment by going to the orbitor advance screen and entering 550 for screen height and save.
when I do a full regen the settings revert back to 600.

Is there a simple way of producing an orbiter screen template with a slightly reduced screen height resolution? 

hey Mat.

I have tried accessing each users audio library using my orbiter and no graphic problem. Seems to be a problem just with onscreen orbitor for my core.

Cheers
Dan

Thanks for the direction Matt.
Managed to get it working with a bit of playing about.

On my system, the audio track graphic does not appear after I enter password. It seems to pop up when I hit play all tracks...

Are you having any problems with graphics when using user storage?

Cheers
Dan
