Hi,
I believe that the BBC iplayer software is windows only, so the only option is to watch in your browser while on-line. to do this you will require Adobe's flash plug-in.

I think cups only listens to localhost by default, so to access web admin interface from lan, the cupsd.conf file will need to be edited to show :

Find the key combination to unlock access the BIOS settings (use Google or handbook) and press them/it while the machine boots then have a look through the entries for something that says halt on VGA...

Hi,
I completely cleared the browser cache and have since been able to get to medibuntu.org a bit more reliably and I double checked sources, seems OK now.
Thanks,

Talking to someone recently about IPcameras and apparently the better ones have a little web server built in to administer, but most of the cheap ones sold on fleabay and the like are only accessible...

@Beno1
Firstly welcome to the forums and thanks for explaining how you installed fwbackups on Jaunty.

The developer suggested this as a possible solution on bugzilla.redhat, glad it works for you...

Not much help I'm afraid but that does look like a build error.

This looks like a similar error message although it's on 1.43.3rc1 with a possible slution:

Doug.

Hi,
Out of curiosity I had a go at building fwbackups and i have it installed but as yet have not used it in anger.

Hi,
Has this modem got an Ethernet connection? if so use it instead of the USB and it should work OK. USB requires special drivers.
