[App_rpt-users] Limey Linux on a HP T5630 Thin Client

Mon Dec 26 06:00:40 UTC 2011

$0.02 from Central Tejas...the consistancy and quality of the audio using the CM108(type) device is very good. My link to W8VT sounds like a non-repeated, linked one, it's excellent. GE radio my end, Motorola his end. There is a connection usually to my node by an Echolink guy, who, in turn connects to other Echolink people, and that audio is pure trash. And all over teh place as to response and levels. Some of these guys literally adjust via speaker level till it "sounds right", and use VOX instead of decoding/using COS, etc. Echolink has no control of the users.

There's a reason to keep it all the same, as long it doesn't get as restrictive as certain other systems.

I was tempted to use on board audio on a private link, which never connects to allstar, but eventually didn't want to re-invent any wheels, and found a bunch of CM108 fobs for $6.95 each delivered.

  There is probably at least a 50% chance of any given onboard audio device
  being miserably awful. 

  We have technical standards that we need to stick to. Audio quality
  (and consistency thereof) is quite important.

  You seem to dislike every onboard audio device..

  are they all bad?

  well, as long as you have no intentions of using the built-in audio
  for connection to a radio on an Allstar node..

  nope, too bad..

  got my tc1100 working, Its a tablet pc that have wifi/bluetooth/lan/modem/usb 1.0 and touch screen that run on 5 volt it even have a KB attach to it.. and of course it have sound.. 3 jack one for mic one line in and one for speaker.. I have hope that this could work..

  I have a 20 gig hd in there.. but i dont think it will last long.. I can hear it click from time to time.. 

  I will order a ide 44 pin to cf adaptor and a 4 gb flsh drive.. this will fit in the case and will work I am sure.. but I will do my test with the hd first..

  just in case I cant make it work ;-)

  I tried doing the same on one of the thin clients. A friend gave it to me as she was no longer using it for MagicJack.  It had the fast processor, 512MB flash drive and 512MB RAM. has no trouble installing LL but would not boot. Did not really expect it to. I gave the computer to some one else to use with a Magic Jack after reinstalling WinXPe (Windows XP embedded). Don't have time to really mess with it.

    well, for whatever its worth, are you at least sure that you
    have the flash drive plugged into the IDE0 slot?

    Limey only supports VERY specific motherboards. The "via" version is ONLY
    for a couple of VIA motherboards.

    it has nothing do with the URI at all.

    Besides, DONT USE ONBOARD AUDIO. Its quality is NOT ACCEPTIBLE.

    Finally got Limey on the machine..

    (Did it with ubuntu live cd , took sometime to figure out where the damn drive was hidden but I got it..)

    Limey wont boot properly, it stop at :

    isapnp:No plug & Play device found

    So from what I understand, since it wont see a URI connected to the machine, it wont continu booting.

    I dont want to use a URI i want to use the onboard audio and the onboard serial port for ptt/cor.. too bad, will have to find something else..

    Unless someone ahve a solution ;-))))

    that would be a very nice xmass present ;-))

    I built a ribbon cable with two 44 pin connectors on it for just that task.  That way I can use my Mac. On CentOS I'm not sure where your removable media will be... maybe in /dev/disk/something?

      ok ,

      I have some problem here..

      Since my t5630 flash drive have a connector that is exactly like the connector that usely is on the end of a ide 44 pin cable I cant connect it to my usb adaptor and dd the limey image to the flash drive.

      so I have to do it from the machine itself.

      so to do so I downloaded ubuntu live cd to boot from a dvd reader and I have limey tar file on a usb stick.

      I try to find where the hell in monted the damn ide flash disk and just cant.. I do have an Icone on the desktop but its a symlink and cant find where its pointing..

      So I am right now downloading the centos 5.5 live dvd, hoping it will be more clear where the damn thing is..

      I tried ide0 no go, ide1 not better..

      Anyone can help??

      And By the way

      Have a merry Xmass to everyone on the list

      The probably easiest way to get an answer to your question is to determine
      it emperically.  Download the following image:

      http://stats.allstarlink.org/limeylinux/downloads/cfimg-i586-via-1.1.5.tar.gz

      and IMAGE copy it (after un-tarring) to the flash drive (using dd or equivalent).

      If it boots, and "talks" to the ethernet, etc, then it works.
      Otherwise, it doesnt.

      I Have a few T5630 thin client that was donated to me (spec: 1ghz CPU , 1 gig of ram, 1 Gig flash drive)

      they have a VIA chipset that have Video , network, and audio device

      I am wondering if I could use that thin client with Limey to do a Allstar node AND an echolink node..

      I would connect that to port 3 of my rc210 controler that I have for my 2 M and 70 cm repeater’s.

      If possible, how to i build the thing??

      I know a few thing about Linux but I am no way a guru.. I do prefer a windows machine, but I know that Linux in more stable..

      So is it possible or am I dreaming?

      forgot to tell you that there is a serial and printerl port to the machine

      you can see the spec there:
