This page was written by Pluto and imported with their permission when LinuxMCE branched off in February, 2007. In general any information should apply to LinuxMCE. However, this page should be edited to reflect changes to LinuxMCE and remove old references to Pluto.
== Configuring the core ==
  1. Open up a web admin interface, go to Orbiter page and add a new device of type 'Orbiter'
  2. Locate the newly added device and change the resolution to 640x480 as the Nokia 770 won't support the default of 800x600
  3. Memorize the numeric id that pluto assigns to your new orbiter since you'll need it later, you can see it right of the 'Description' filed on the same page.
  4. Do a full regen of that orbiter and a quick reload router after that


Installing the package on the tablet

  1. Setup you wireless connection. To use your tablet as an orbiter you'll need to make sure that the tablet is located within the internal network of the core.
  2. Upload the deb package to you tablet using the usb cable or by downloading it directly from our website.
  3. Install it by double clicking on the deb file in file manager.

Starting the Orbiter

  1. There is no easy way to start you orbiter yet, and you'll need an X terminal emulator to do this task. If you don't have it yet installed, download the osso-xterm deb package from [fs-security.com] and install it on you tablet the same way you installed the pluto orbiter package.
  2. Open up an xterminal using nokia 770's main menu: Extras -> X Terminal
  3. Make sure the network connection is available
  4. Type this in the terminal to start you orbiter
/var/lib/install/bin/startOrbiter.sh -r <ROUTER_INTERNAL_IP> -d <ORBITER_ID>

You can also start the orbiter with verbose logging to debug possible problems, but this will bring a slowdown in orbiter's screen changing :

/var/lib/install/bin/startOrbiterVerbose.sh -r <ROUTER_INTERNAL_IP> -d <ORBITER_ID>
