Can you copy the text of the conf file? Most likely it is a punctuation
error... like a comma or quote in the wrong place.
You can email me directly.

Gil Buckman, played by Steve Martin, Parenthood (1989 ) http://www.imdb.com/title/t...
His ability to be honestly afraid and maintain a sense of humor about fatherhood is what makes him such a great Dad.
Daniel, played by Liam Neeson in Love Actually (2003) http://www.imdb.com/title/t... Great dad moments in this movie as well.

Here is a way to map an SMB share. You would want to map it into the pictures directory so it gets read each time by the slideshow.

Hope this helps. I will be trying it on my next project.

You could go with a shared drive. The process would be a little different in that you would eliminate the flickrframe synch piece and just change your photos directory to point to a locally mapped drive or SMB share on your network.

Something tells me you may want more instructions, so let me see what I can do about writing something up.

As always, thanks for stopping by and commenting. Sorry I missed this when you posted it.

I will update this actually. There is an unlimited plan on the phone. The 5GB limit only applies to the internet devices like laptops and other data devices. With the phone, you are free to use data at will. In other words, Pandora/Slacker/Hulu.... all good.

Verify the permissions using the guide above.
Verify the apache configuration as well.
There is an error log at /var/logs/apache2/
You can use the command 'tail error.log' to see the last few lines of the log.

Good luck. If you want to use the forum , you can post the text from the log file in there and I will take a look. You will need to register to use the forum, let me know what account you used so I can approve you.

Verify your apache configuration section.
There is an issue in there somewhere, most likely.

Inet addr: is your IP
10.0.1.3

What happens when you just try http://10.0.1.3

Re: Laptop Digital Picture Frame using Ubuntu

From the command line of the picture frame computer, type ifconfig
It should tell you your IP address.
I am guessing, but it is probably a 192.168.XXX.XXX IP

What is my IP address will give you, most likely, an IP of your router on the internet.

If you want to use the forum to keep track of your build notes and progress, I would be happy to give you access. I was having a spam problem before, so I turned the forums registration off.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Use idfindr or use the ID in the url of your set when viewing. This step killed me till I realized it wanted the ID number, not the name of the set.

I will update the page to show this, thanks for commenting.

Thanks for the comments! I will look into the newer version. I have only upgraded, never installed on a new version.
There were some issues with keyring, but I thought they had been fixed. I will look into that as well.

I am about due for a new frame, so I will take notes.

Thanks again for commenting, it is nice to get feedback, good and bad.

I don't know, they look pretty tasty to me. A soft bun with some sweet mustard, pickles, thick iceberg lettuce, a fresh tomato, and the sounds of a summer backyard bbq? Delish.

The image is created once an hour and stored in the image directory using a cron job.
Each time feh presents the file, it reads the file first. So it is constantly using the latest version of the file.

I hope that makes sense... Let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help.

Thanks for stopping by.

I was watching Blazing Saddles last night and they censored all the tongue in cheek racism... So funny, it isn't funny.

You only run the back end portion of the flickrframe script.
If you look at line number 4 above, you auto run the back end then auto run feh.

in the line:
/home/flickrframe/flickrframe/FlickrFrame.pm -b -c /home/flickrframe/flickrframe/flickrframe.conf
the -b means backend.

If you ran it with -f, I believe the front end would start. Fbi only runs in framebuffer mode (I think), so it won't work in X-windows.
I hope this helps... Let me know.

I am on the road, but will take a look when I get back on the 8th of July. Thanks for letting me know.
I am not the maintainer for the flickrframe project, so I will have to poke around and figure it out.
Maybe this would be a good time to rewrite the backend of this project.

I will let you know.

Edit:
I checked evrything out on my end at it seems to be working okay. Can you give me more information?

Thanks for stopping by and commenting or reading on this article. I am not really surprised by the response. She is good. She has a good eye. She obviously has a way of attracting supporting people.

I can't wait to see more great stuff.

The whole world should know more about the best people in the world, I agree. Imagine the effect.

I have to admit that I saw no pure racism. I did see some powerful statements, some great images, and interesting dialogue. I only know him through his work on flickr, which is the subject here.

Ultimately, this is about me. What I see, find, or experience. Since I am neither Israeli, nor Palestinian, I feel inadequate to judge. I do know what I like, and the series of saint pictures is great.

I hope you find peace within yourself and ultimately find love for everyone you meet. Thanks for stopping by my little slice of internet land and commenting.

Re: XML weather for your DPF

kmcniece — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 20:40:12 -0000

Use the weatherunderground....

http://www.wunderground.com...

replace with your zip code and you will get a page dedicated to your area, most of the time.

On the left side of the page you will see a tiny radar image. Click it to make it large.

Once it is large, on the bottom left there is a link for 'View / Save this image'

If you click it, the url in the browser becomes the url you would want to use to get the radar image. If you get that image every hour it will change each time.

Does that help a little?

I have to admit though, now that I do it, that script may be just overkill... I will have to look at it.

Once again, thanks for stopping by and asking a question.
