MultiseatX. Multiseat X refers to a single machine that supports multiple concurrent users each with their own set of keyboards, mice, and monitors providing a traditional desktop experience to each user.

MultiseatX

Contrast this with multi-head X, in which a single keyboard and mouse is associated with two or more screens under the control of one user session. Both setups will be discussed in this document as they are not mutually exclusive. In theory, there are several different ways to achieve multi-seat; in practice there are very few approaches which are both simple and stable. Automatic multiseat is not currently available in Ubuntu through the standard repositories. There are a few components required to have true automatic multiseat. The main body of this document will focus on the current Ubuntu LTS releases and we will maintain information for legacy users following. Xorg Setting up your Xorg files can be done in 2 ways.

Isolates users from each other to avoid the “bad neighbor effect” Prevents users from seeing configuration files and other private information Allows end user to select PHP versions 4.4, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5 Gives the power to monitor and control limits, such as CPU, IO, Memory, and others Helps to restrict and throttle MySQL database abusers Compatible with all major control panels Interchangeable with CentOS and RHEL CloudLinux technology gives hosters full control over CPU, IO, Memory, Number of Processes, and Concurrent Сonnections limits.

Now they can limit abusers while allowing good customers to use what they need. They can also set limits on per-package bases and enjoy this feature as a new upsell opportunity, creating packages with more CPU and Memory and selling them to those customers who need that. MySQL Governor is a set of utilities to monitor and operate MySQL usage in a shared hosting environment. MultiseatX. Designing and Building a Homebuilt Linux Computer. Linux is the world's most popular server operating system and is becoming more popular as a desktop OS, so Linux hardware detection and support have improved quite a bit.

Designing and Building a Homebuilt Linux Computer

Nowadays, if you walk into a computer parts store, buy a cartful of parts, and assemble them into a Linux computer, they'll probably work when you boot up the machine up for the first time. But don't count on it. The degree to which any given piece of computer hardware will be compatible with Linux will fall into one of the following broad results: It will be automatically detected by Linux and will work properly when the machine is started up, with little or no human input.

It won't work right out of the box, but it can be made to work with some effort, which may vary from making an entry in a configuration file (easy), to recompiling the kernel (not easy). Choosing Hardware for your Homebuilt Linux Box Obviously, most of us shoot for outcome Number 1 when designing our computers.

Pixart Sensor and Arduino

I finally got round to desoldering a Pixart camera sensor from the front of WiiMote and hooking it up to the I2C bus of an Arduino. Warranty now Void You need to run a 3.3v regulator, an LTC4301 buffer, and a 25Mhz clock to the chip, but I’m pleased to report that it works! It can sit on a standard board (just) Pixart's new home LTC4301 - yes it really is that small (Yay!) I’m building an updated laser harp and I’ll be adding this new hardware sensor to provide gesture tracking within the laser beams. This has really cool implications for robots built with an Arduino. I think Pixart should make these sensors available to mere mortals like us… Most of the work comes from the Japanese site run by Kako… (Translation via BabelFish) Here are some of my annotated notes: Connecting the Pixart sensor You might also like: Solar Cricket – finally, I get to build something…
