any thoughts

Can you play it via terminal server on the Universal? How does it work? I looked at it on the laptop and it looks like a bit of fun. How can you do it on the XDA?

well how are you connected to the internet,
you on a network?
thats what i am on but i think i understand other types

I run a wireless network to a cable modem. A couple of laptops and my XDA run through the WIFI onto the internet. I was really just wondering of the XDA can run the java environment. Maybe I have misunderstood what you are doing.

The terminal service uses your computer as an operating system (so java is compatiable)
but its more of a link
i want to see java on the universal itself

my xda has something called MidLET manager in the plain old programs folder. it apparently runs java apps but i've never tried it.

that wont work, its because its a sun java pc app
maybe i should try the linux thing

Use the Shift G-Sensor as a Joystick

Like gaming?
Now you can use the accelerometer inside HTC Shift (G-Sensor) as a Joystick
See video (2min) playing TuxRacer:

Amazing... total

any idea what he's using to rotate the screen?

I use 'xrandr' command to rotate the screen:
sudo xrandr -o right
sudo xrandr -o left
sudo xrandr -o inverted
sudo xrandr -o normal

Man I wish I knew what you guys are talking about...I am Linux incompetent...

...and Windows???
Is there anything like that for Windows?
Any software to just display movement?

How does he rotate the screen on his Shift and is he running vista or is it some other operating system???

waw pof ! you are amazing ! sure I will have Linux on the shift !

He's using ubuntu 8.04. To be specific I think he's using Kubuntu.

Did you install Ubuntu on an additional partition next to Vista or did you replace Vista? Is enough space on the HDD for Vista and Ubuntu togehter?

Please please please please figure out how to make the screen rotate in Vista. Please? :-D Someone? Anyone? :-(

im also interested if it exist any portaation to Vista for using the G-Sensor in any application(screen rotation)

Yeah!
Would that be possible? To use the sensor in Vista (or maybe snapvue/WM?)

Im new to linux...Ive installed Ubuntu in my Shift and facing trouble setting up the G-Sensor...can anyone explain the procedure in easy words.?

In the market for a new laptop... Currently looking into the shift since it has what I want for a decent enough price. Been perusing the forum here and came across the g-sensor capabilities. Based on what I came across, am I to understand that the g-sensor is ONLY usable if you partition and install Linux? I don't understand it, why would there be hardware like a g-sensor, but nothing natively to support it? NO Vista or WM support? That doesn't make any sense.

Should I move to linux?

I was deciding whether or not to move to Ubuntu.
I'm wondering if these things will work:
ADB
Microsoft Office
Adobe products
Opera/Chrome
HP wireless Printer
Drivers for my HP laptop.
I'm mainly worried about ADB, and Microsoft Office. Will I have to learn new things, any things i should know?
Oh yah I will be doing a fresh install no paritioning, as my computer is only 150gb mem.

Hmmm...
I have zero experience with it, but I was thinking about running a ubuntu virtual machine on my new laptop. (Sorry for mentioning my new laptop two posts in a row.)

Why not just run Linux inside a VM for a while...or permanently. You can run MS Office with Wine or Crossover Office and some Windows programs can be run through Wine. However, it's probably easier to just run a Linux VM or run Windows inside a VM on Linux.

id say no, i love android and webos and they are linux but linux on the pc IMO just sucks . windows 7 all the way! if you want to dabble in linux i recommend ubuntu in a VM.

I duel boot mint which is built off ubuntu and adb works fine just have to download the linux version. all of my laptop drivers worked out of the box. open office is free and was made for linux and will read any of the microsoft office docs and save them in microsoft doc format.

Im on 7 right now, but I'm having problems with flash, and my speaker drivers.
I really don't wanna revert back to vista.

ADB will work once set up properly.
Microsoft Office will be a no go, but you'll have options like Open Office.
Older versions of Photoshop function through Wine. Last I checked CS4 was still buggy.
Firefox will likely be your browser of choice.
Your results may vary with hardware drivers... most everything is supported with a default Ubuntu Install.
If you are to start off, I'd recommend Ubuntu as your starting point. Absolutely the most user friendly distro.

32 of 64 bit? What model pc/laptop do you have?

you could try it with the wubi installer. It installs like a program with windows so it is easier to remove, but you still get to boot to it (without losing windows boot loader) so it is much better than a VM.

why is this thread even in the hero section? maybe go to neowin and ask there.

What version of Windows are you using. If you are running Vista Pro or Windows 7 you can use Microsoft's VM. If not you could download Sun Virtual Box. Right now I am using Sun VM, but am looking for something else, because it won't let me make the OS in the VM Fullscreen. So far I haven't used the VM for anything, but I know it is alot easier to edit the boot.img and kernal if you really want to. That is my next thing to learn as I am in the process of making my own ROM.
Best suggestion I have is.......
before wiping your hard disk and installing Ubuntu, download a VM and install it in there. Once in there you can download everything you want to use and see how well you like it.

hey, vmware player will let you go fullscreen. but if ya just want linux, i'm telling ya, wubi is the way to go.

I must admit it looks intriguing. Testing it on my netbook now.

Yeah, I recommend you try a VM, or at the most dual boot. You could do a cross between the two, which doesn't require partitions. You can use the program Wubi, which comes on their official discs and install ubuntu inside windows, but it will run as a secondary boot. For the most part, this method gives you full access to your computer, but won't be able to hibernate in ubuntu. Its also not as fast as a real install and you are limited to 30 gigs, but if you decide you no longer want it, you can uninstall it from windows.

I'd start off with an Ubuntu Live CD. Just burn it and boot with it. It'll give you the option of installing if you want to, but it's not required at all.
That way you can get a feel for Linux and see if it's really something you want to commit to.
If you like it, then you can install it; and if you don't like it then you're only out one CDR.
Photoshop will be pretty much a no-go except through Wine; you may have to get comfortable with The Gimp.
MS Office is not something I'd bet on having working; OpenOffice is the native solution.
I'd imagine ADB works fine, the others here know better than I do.
There's a version of Opera for Linux, and a beta version of Chrome for Linux as well.
Drivers are usually the weak spot with Linux if you have really new hardware. If your stuff is a year or two old you should be fine, drivers will most likely download pretty much automatically or will otherwise be easy to get; the Live CD will be a good test of this.

64bit capable, but I like running 32bit.
Hp Pavillion dv9000 (AMD turion 64 x2 hardrive)

Thanks for this thread. This is def going to inspire me to actually try a ubuntu vm very soon.

how much ram you got? if it isn't above 2-3gb go with 32bit install.
if you want to try linux install ubuntu or kunbuntu via wubi or VM.

Everything for mine were found automatically. My laptop is about 2 years old. The Gimp is okay. That's what I'm using.

[Q] running virtual machines ?

Hi, do you know if it would be possible (and how) to run some virtual machines (Wndows or Linux) on Android, so we could use such freewares as OpenOffice ?
Thanks
Nico

Windows: No (maybe windows 8 when it comes out)
Linux: Yes

I know vmware is working on something to run different phone oses on the same device. Uses Android as the host is.

Remote Desktop of your Raspberry Pi

So you have that new Raspberry Pi all set up with Raspbian and you to use it you have to connect a keyboard and mouse. Maybe you share this keyboard and mouse with another computer (like me) or maybe you have the Raspberry Pi hidden in a console (again, like me) and it's difficult to plug in your devices.
OK, here is a solution so simple it is unreal.
Plug in that keyboard and mouse for the last time OR SSH to your Raspberry Pi (you do have SSH set up right?), open the terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install xrdp
If you did not SSH in then you will need to run this command also to get the ip address of the Raspberry Pi:
ifconfig eth0
Note the IP address.
For LInux:
Install the following:
sudo apt-get install rdesktop
then run
rdesktop (IP address of your Raspberry Pi)
then at the Login to xrdp:
User name of your Raspberry Pi
Password of your Raspberry Pi
Profit!
Non-Linux:
windoze-
start remote desktop and enter IP address then follow Login to xrdp steps above.
fruit systems-
try installing this: http://cord.sourceforge.net/ and then connect to the Raspberry Pi as above.

Or, you can install tightvnc.

Easy as PI.

I don't like the raspi with desktop environmdent, it's laggy (more with vnc). ssh ftw!

Overclock it!

For X Window apps, the best way to run is ’ssh -X [email protected]_IP’.
Of course we need an X server running, but I’m a linux user.

You just solved a bit problem for me
Actually two.
1. As I do not have a TV or monitor with HDMI input, I had to use this converter for VGA and the display is crappy. The very first thing I do on such RPi is enabling SSH. But from now on, all I have is SSH. I now have much better to work and mnage my RPi's. COOL !!!!!
2. I was also having an issue with my virtual servers, one of which hosts an install of the Android development tools. So far, I was using NX to connect, but since some version of Ubuntu, I could not start an Android VM remotely. Some missing modules, or configuration. I hated this. I was using NX for a long time now. This xrdp seems to work fine. I installed it on a test machine with Android SDK stuff, and voila !! I can start the virtual Android machine no problem.
Great info !!!!!!!

I have a similar problem, except that I share my monitor with my son and his Raspberry Pi. Both of us are building and programming different robots using the RPi and arduino controllers. So I get very little time at the actual keyboard. I did something similar except I am using tightvnc on the RPI and then Remote Ripple on my Nexus 10 and Kyocera phone and then tightvnc java viewer on my windows laptop (if I ever use it, mostly just a cloud print server) . The Nexus 10 being the main computer I use along with my RPi. Full GUI of my RPi Xwindow or SSH shell account on the RPI. (if you can do it on the RPi, you can do it on your nexus! (except remote raspicam/raspivideo.. not yet available.. it will be though!)).
Several different ways to do this, to each their own... but I wanted my N10 client to be made by the same developer as the VNC server. Tightvnc has a large following, so that is good. I did have to pay $5 for the Android version Remote Ripple (tightvnc android client). But I don't mind supporting the authors of quality software (not forced too.. hear that MS!)
you do feel a lag from being on a wireless network, but it is nice being able to log it anytime from anywhere (not just home wifi, I can also use my PI over the internet!)
