  • Requesting a firmware with SDHC support for my card reader

    Just sent the following support request to ENlight:

    Hi,

    I have an Enlight “8 in 4” Bay Reader for memory cards. The packaging says that the firmware of the reader is upgradable (“Current Firmware Rev 1.1”). However, I was unable to locate any firmware downloads from your website’s download section. I was thinking of upgrading the firmware, because with the current firmware, the reader cannot access my SDHC memory card.

    Fingers crossed.

  • Compiling Miro 3.0.3 on Lucid

    Not sure if all of the stuff I installed was necessary, but at least nothing required was missing when I did it like this. I’m writing this down from memory and not on-the-go, so there might be errors, but the idea is there.

    1. # apt-get install miro python python-pyrex \
      libboost-python-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \
      libboost-date-time-dev libboost-thread-dev \
      libboost-serialization-dev python-gtk2-dev \
      python-gnome2-extras-dev libxine-dev chrpath \
      libxv-dev libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dbus \
      python-gtk2 python-gnome2 libtorrent-rasterbar-dev \
      python-glade2 python-gst0.10 imagemagick libxine1-x \
      libxine1-plugins xulrunner-1.9 xulrunner-dev
    2. $ wget http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/pculture.org/miro/src/Miro-3.0.3.tar.gz
    3. $ tar xvf Miro-3.0.3.tar.gz
    4. $ cd Miro-3.0.3/platform/gtk-x11
    5. $ ./run.sh
