Though they will fufill all preorders, they released a statement to their customers including this line:
Due to the amount of money we have lost granting refunds (due to bank transaction fees) we can no longer sell the Cloudbook.
From CloudBooker.com.
You can still buy it at walmart.com though.
I will be switching this site to drupal, and hopefully many new features will be added. Such as posting your own how tos, and maybe a forum, and who knows what else. I will also make a new theme for this site.
Add the below to /etc/X11/xorg.conf, at the end of the file should work.
Section "Extensions" Option "Composite" "Enable" EndSection
You might have to add the below to the device section in your xorg.conf file too. On my desktop I didn’t have to, but I did on my laptop, not sure if I really needed to.
Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "True" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"
You may have to run the following command for this to work:
sudo aptitude install smbfs
Add the below to /etc/fstab:
//name or ip of computer with share/share /mnt/share cifs guest 0 0
Make sure /mnt/share exists. You can mount as many shares as you want, just replace share and /mnt/share, with something else. If the share folder has a space in it then instead of using a space use \040.
Example with space:
//name or ip of computer with share/space\040test /mnt/share cifs guest 0 0
I was getting that on my laptop, while trying to boot xubuntu. Solution for me was to unplug my floppy drive, very easy to do on my laptop. Wonder if it will boot the installed system with the floppy plugged in, it should. I figured out it was my floppy because in the casper log file it said fd0 no such device exists. Fd0 is a floppy drive.
* fix for XboX 360 file discovery (it finally should work).
* support for Sony PlayStation 3.
* DLNA compliance.
Finally an update for ushare! They already provide packages, so I don’t need to make any. Haven’t tried it yet.
Edit
Guess I will have to make a package, unless I can find a newer version of libc6.
Download ushare 1.0 64bit package
Download ushare 1.0 32bit package
I’m going to go try it out, and see if it works better. Also I’m going to share some mp3’s too. Lets see if the update fixes everything.
Update
Doesn’t see the audio while sharing both a video and a music folder. Also it still looses the connection to my computer, and the web interface isn’t loading either. So it still isn’t stable for me.
For those who have a laptop with a prism based card and using vector linux this is what to do.

Well my computer hasn’t froze since running mhdd, and linux doing an automatic fsck after that. My computer has been running fine. I only rebooted once, to try and stream a video the 360 with tversity, but it didn’t work. Now I know I can just copy videos to my secure digital card, and then plug my usb sd reader into the 360, and then my sd card into the reader. Much easier then wasting time trying to get broken software to try and stream stuff. I’m not going to mess with tversity or ushare until it works, obviously the software is buggy. I’ll wait until there’s a stable solution. Though it won’t matter because I bought a laptop, which has tv out. So I won’t need to use the 360.
If your computer is freezing, it could possibly be a hardware problem. My system was freezing, not sure if I fixed it or not.

On DS: Warranty Voided, I have added a how to for converting videos to the nds format in linux.
I’m using tversity once again, it should work haven’t turned on my xbox 360 yet. I upgraded my ram to 2 GB, in dual channel mode. I also updated the ram for vmware server from 256 to 512. Windows is actually faster in vmware server, then booting it from my hard drive. I also updated to the latest vmware server version. Tversity is still reloading the library. I can keep vmware server open and still use my computer, which is sweet, before when I only had 1 GB of ram, I couldn’t do that. So I guess 2 GB of dual channel memory does make a difference.
How to run tversity in vmware server (Assuming you installed windows already in vmware server.)
The patched ushare doesn’t work for mp3s for some reason. You can run both ushare and x360mediaserve at the same time. I have ushare start first, only because it starts when I login.
Geexbox works, with a upnp server, such as ushare. Probably works with samba too, but I’m to lazy to try and get that to work.
This is probably a better method to streaming videos to your tv, then streaming it to the 360. As the 360 can only play certain kinds of videos. So building or buying a cheap computer with a cd drive, would be easier then streaming to the 360. And cheaper too, if you don’t already have a 360. You might need a wireless card, or an ethernet bridge. I have a wireless game adapter, which I know works with a computer. As I’ve used it with my mac before.
CPU scaling will make your computer run slower. My 2 GHz processor was running at 1 GHz, now its back at 2 GHz.
sudo /etc/init.d/powernowd stop sudo apt-get remove powernowd
I have a big speed difference from doing that.
I have added some files. Only two right now, wine and a screen shot of my working sound settings for wine. I opened counter strike source and it loaded, the menu has sound. The wine package also has this patch. Use all the files at your own risk. No 32 bit package, not using the 32 bit version. Though that package will probably work on 32 bit distros if you use:
sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i wine.deb
As I’m pretty sure I compiled it with the 32 bit libraries, not the 64 bit ones. Then again I don’t remember the command I used to compile it with. I don’t think wine will compile using the 64 bit libraries anyways.
Edit /home/tommy/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Valve/Steam/resource/steamscheme.res in kate or vi or nano or something. Basically search for Tahoma and replace with a font you have. You have to replace all instances of Tahoma with the other font name. I replaced them with AlHor. Which looks the best to me. If you use kate then you can go to Edit then Replace, and put in Tahoma for text to find and AlHor or whatever in replacement text.
Some of the font was to small for me to read, so I changed the tall to 16. Unless it was bigger then 16 already.
You can see the font names by going into kcontrol and clicking fonts, and then click change font by one of them, and it’ll list them.
Update
Better solution is to copy the Tahoma font from your windows installation or download it from somewhere. If you don’t then you won’t see any text while playing half life 2, so you won’t be able to click new game. I copied all of the fonts from my windows installation, just to be sure I have everything I need. Copy the fonts to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts or install them into your system.
First install xawtv
yum install xawtv
then run
v4lctl volume mute off
That will unmute the sound from the card, you still might have to go into kmix, and adjust the settings there too.
To make that command run everytime you login to kde:
Open kedit and add v4lctl volume mute off to the file and save it as tv.sh under ~/.kde/Autostart/
Then in a terminal:
chmod 755 ~/.kde/Autostart/tv.sh
Sound should work fine now.
Make sure you mount your windows partition first.
This is what I did:
su yum install thunderbird exit //Exits su cd "/mnt/windows/Documents and Settings/user/Application Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/" //replace user with your user name for windows. dir cd xxx.default //There should be one folder for the output of dir, if you have multiple profiles, then it might not be .default<br /> thunderbird -P
If there is a profile delete and create a new one. For the directory you should already be in the right one, if you did the cd xxx stuff above. Just click choose folder, and then click open. If your not in your thunderbird profile folder for windows, then browse there. It should be something like /mnt/windows/Documents and Settings/user/Application Data/Thunderbird/Profiles/xxx.default
First disable selinux. Not positive that you have too, but read that you need too. You can try without doing so, but you might end up having too anyways. Selinux will probably cause other problems anyways…
Go to Administration | Security level and firewall.
Click SELinux
Under setting choose disable.
Now open a terminal and do the below:
su mkdir /mnt/windows yum install ntfs-3g //only do if your file system for windows is ntfs kedit /etc/fstab //or gedit
add:
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0 //change /dev/hdc1 to whatever the partiion is for windows.
You can see what it is by typing fdisk -l as root. Change ntfs-3g to vfat if the file system is fat.
Then save the file and run:
mount /dev/hdc1
