Re: [SLUG] SD Card support under Linux/DRM
Howdy Scott, Yep - been there.. doesn't work.. and the other thing is that having to use only one particular program on one particular OS offends me as well. Eek. It's interesting that Panasonic have opted down this path though.. other SD based players allow you to just mount and copy files across.. bah. //umar. > Have you tried installing Jukebox under wine? > Chances are it won't work, but it would be worth a try. > http://www.winehq.org > > Cheers, > > Scott > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
Re: [SLUG] SD Card support under Linux/DRM
Actually I've also heard that the people working on the Zaurus project have got this working as well - but don't give out their code etc.. Apparantly you have to sign away your life to get access to the doco from the SD manufacturers and can't pass it on afterwards. //umar. > I believe that SD cards are working on at least some models of the iPAQ running > Familiar Linux. > > Check http://familiar.handhelds.org/ > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

I haven't been able to mount the camera in Linux, it try's very hard but then it complains about some command or something isn't implemented.

[SLUG] SD Card support under Linux/DRM
Greetings All, Quick question - I was wondering whether there was a Linux/OS version of some utils to transfer mp3 files to a SD card based mp3 player with what appears to be DRM of some sort? As it stands, I bought a Panasonic SV-SD80 - thinking that I could just mount the SD card, and just copy files across to it - however, Panasonic in all their Customer Focused Wisdom(tm) appear to require some horrid windows only program called "Real Player Jukebox" to be able to use this device at all... As I am not very keen on installing windows just to run a silly program, I am stuck here with an $800 piece of shiny plastic which does nothing. :\ Very nice of them to mention nothing on the packaging either.. otherwise I would certainly not have bought it.. *groan* Thanks in advance.. //umar. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
