WiP

Has been reinstalled with Ubuntu 14.04. Default user is slabbetje, with our known password

Todo:

  • Doorbell
  • Pong
  • Airplay stuff
  • New interface for stuff like mpd and lights (fiddling around with entries in /usr/share/xsessions for now)

Backups of old installation can be found in slabbetjes homedir

Summary

  • Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pi 2515 mainboard
  • 2Gb RAM
  • Hand-patched power button on micro-fine wires

Pong

A mini pong game built in python and blessings. Will attempt to display time, but throws an error every now and then due to rounding and then cycles around resetting itself. It can be started from the lightdm greeter but in xterm something is really borken ;). See /usr/share/xsessions.desktop

MPD

This board runs a debian-hosted MPD and is connected to the Nexia PM which in turn is hooked up to the amplifier and speakers.

Festival

Starting

In order to allow the !speak function of Nurdbot (which lives on tankstation) to connect to this machine, festival can be started in server mode as user slabbetje:

./start_festival.sh &

It should start after a reboot using slabbetje's crontab: @reboot /home/slabbetje/start_festival.sh &

Access control

Basic ACL is managed in /etc/festival.scm.

Volume

Volume of mpd can be set independently of system volume (using NURDbot or mpd client). Volume of festival is the same as system volume and can be set using alsamixer. At the moment system volume is 100%.
