Running the original Software out from your linux distro!

Ok another smart how to, so you will be able to start the original software from your linux distro:

starting here:

1. mount mmcblk0p2 somewhere, if not already done:
"sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt"

2. copy the whole openpeak folder to your root:
"sudo mkdir /openpeak"
"sudo cp -r /mnt/openpeak/* /openpeak"

3. unmount (if you want..)
"sudo umount /mnt"

4. mount mmcblk0p4, if not yet done:
"sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p4 /mnt"

5. copy all its contents to /media:
"sudo cp -r /mnt/* /media"

6. copy and edit localrun:
"sudo cp /openpeak/tango/localrun /openpeak/tango/starto2"

7. edit starto2:
"sudo vi /openpeak/tango/starto2"

8. uncomment "export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=alsa":
move to the concerning line,
type "i" for insert mode,
type an "#"
type ESC, type ":wq" to save&quit

9. now you can run the software by double clicking on "starto2".
You can also create a shortcut to this. Quit the app typing "ALT+F4"

Note, that also mouse + keyboard are working this way :-)
No way yet to quit the app withouht keyboard.

  3. Running this on Mint Linux v10 it fails with a warning that GTK+ version is too old. Would updating GTK+ screw up the joggler in any way?
