General :: Amazon Kindle Not Charging In Ubuntu?
May 31, 2011I have a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.10. I connected my Amazon Kindle to an USB interface in XP and in Ubuntu. From XP everything works with no flaw. In Ubuntu the data exchange is perfect, but the device does not charge.
View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Using Amazon Kindle To Reference Documenation?
Apr 4, 2011I do a bit of programming and tinkering with Linux so I have to refer to documentation a lot. As a result my eyes do get sore when reading through documentation on PC. Another problem is when tinkering and something goes wrong, either with Ubuntu crashing or loss of internet connection, I can't get access to the relevant document to fix it. Because of these, I was thinking of getting an e-reader, in particular, an Amazon Kindle as it is the only one I've seen sold locally as I don't like buying electronic goods online as it is a hassle with shipping if anything goes wrong.
I would like some advice. Is the Kindle worth having to view documentation and tutorials? Is it easy to reference relevant material through it's search facilities? Most important of all, can it connect to (Ubuntu) Linux through a usb port?
Hardware :: Make 'amazon Kindle' E-reader As Pc Display?
Jul 7, 2011I hope we'll understand well. So - i'm offering to earn few dollars for few hours of Your time doing something quite interesting. From long time all my activities connected with computers are painful because me eyes are becoming tired very fast, which cause headache and generally make work impossible.
Cure for my problems is e-ink, im in possesion of Amazon kindle 3 now and it's beyond awesome for me. I've checked a lot of sites and keywords about ' e-ink monitor ', or desktop display, or using e-ink reader as computer display - and at this moment there isn't single device od market with such a function, but a lot of prototypes.
I've found also, that almost all e-ink readers are functioning on linux. My knowledge about linux is less than none, but some people written, that it should be possible to somehow make kindle a display for pc by making some linux operations on both
devices. What i'm asking You is not:- informing me about disadvantages of e-ink display, framerates, movies, speed and any other things, i don't care about any of those at all
- informing me about some crap imitations of e-ink like pixel qi, anything which isn't exactly e-ink is in my book worth nothing in terms of comfortable work with text.What i'm really asking is someone that will seriously try to make amazon kindle a monitor/display for netbook/notebook/pc. I'm really not geek at all, so i will not understand any of details, i'm asking someone to do it - and write precise, step by step guide for me which will tell me what i should do to use my kindle as computer display.
It may need change of OS, it may cause lose of data, it doesn't matters - what i need is fully operational internet browser with mouse and keyboard - on e-ink. So kindle attached to any kind of pc/netbook as display will be great. If task need some changes with hardware, or inside device - i can buy the one that You will modify from You after i will see pictures as proof that it works. If someone will help me - i will pay. It's quite hard for me to somehow ' prove it here ' - but i just will, we will work out Your fee and other details.
Ubuntu :: Kindle 3 With Azw Usb?
Jul 11, 2011i have some compatibility questions/concerns about switching my os. on my current windows 7 os, i transfer purchases to my pc kindle, then, once on my pc kindle account, i go to the manage my kindle account and transfer to my windows 7 by dl an azw file which i then transfer to my kindle. (i don't have a wireless card/router so i have to transfer via usb i also like this because i don't get charged?) what is whisper net? i know its not a free service?
what i want to be able to do is, (i heard calibre can access my amazon account directly from the interface but not sure if that's really true or if only true on 7 and not ubuntu) if it is true, can i still buy free/paid books for my kindle3, transfer them to calibre/or kindle pc thru wine, "manage my account" on calibre/kindle wine then dl the azw file, transfer the azw to my home folder on ubuntu, then copy/paste to my kindle3 folder on my kindle?
Ubuntu :: Run Kindle Under Wine?
Feb 17, 2011Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit.
I had it working. After it installed, it ran and everything worked. After I closed it, I can find no way to start it again. I can not find any kindle application, anywhere.
I can not fine anything about kindle anywhere in my /home/walter/.wine directory.
Application->Wine->Programs shows me nothing.
Another problem, Amazon downloads books into /root/My Kindle Content. The only way for me to read my kindle books is chmod my /root directory, which I don't like doing.
Is there any way to remove the DRM, so I can use Calibre to view the book in an epub format? Instead of having to fight with this evil amazon format?

Ubuntu :: Can't See Amazon's Look Inside
Jun 22, 2010I am not able to access Amazon's Look Inside - the facility to inspect a few pages of books. (I have never been able to do this.) I have tried both at work (via a direct connection to a high-speed backbone) and at home (via Sky ISP). I can see the cover of the book but nothing beyond that - it says the page has expired or is invalid. But using Firefox on WinXP, I can access Look Inside happily both at home and at work.
Does anyone else have this problem with Ubuntu? Amazon's technical people just sent me a load of flannel blaming my ISP, my software, etc. They say no one else has raised this.
If somebody could try it and let me know, I'd be grateful for the results. Am I missing a plug-in?

Feb 22, 2011I've got Fedora 14 running on an EBS volume on Amazon EC2. I've created a few users and enabled port 22. When I set a password for these users, they can successfully ssh into the instance; even if they logout and login again....until:
If I reboot the machine, they can no longer ssh into the machine (permission denied). If I issue the passwd <user> command and change their passwords, they can login again....until I reboot the machine at which time they cannot login again until I change their passwords. The problem exists even from the machine. That is, if root attempts to ssh into 127.0.0.1 using their username/password, the same problem/resolution exists.
OpenSUSE Multimedia :: Using The Amazon MP3 Downloader On 11.2?
Dec 1, 2009has anyone been successful in using the Amazon MP3 downloader on 11.2? It does no longer work because it wants specific (old) versions of libboost*:
[krienke@bliss:~/tmp] 1001 > /usr/bin/amazonmp3
/usr/bin/amazonmp3: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_filesystem.so.1.36.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[krienke@bliss:~/tmp] 1002 > locate libboost_filesystem
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so
/usr/lib/libboost_filesystem.so.1.39.0
I notified Amazon about this, and they said they do not know if or when there will be a running version of the MP3 downloader available and without it there is no way to download any MP3 from Amazon. They gave me back my money and recommended to buy elsewhere....
Does anyone know if installing the old version of libboost (from 11.1) will work? What else, aside from amazons downloader, does use libboost*? So what app might fail if I install the old version of libboost suitable for the downloader?

Server :: Signing Up To The Amazon EC2 Service With EBS?
Jan 9, 2011I am interested in signing up to the Amazon EC2 service with EBS. I have never used a unmanaged vps before, but I know how to use the command line etc. There are some basic packs on there to use, with basic LAMP stacks. But I would like to ask about how do I:
Upgrade a lamp stack? - someone mentioned yum, but what is this? how easy is it to use? is it enough? secure the lamp stack? - assuming I have no idea of linux security, can you give me a list or something of things I need to consider so I can begin the search (or just cover the steps would be awesome!) My website just uses php and mysql, so thats all i'll need. If you have any other tips on this,

Ubuntu Security :: Unusual Traffic From Amazon EC2 Cloud Server
May 1, 2011Last night my old Sony Vaio laptop which connects via wired Ethernet and runs Ubuntu 10.10 started hammering the network out onto the Internet. Fired up Wireshark and found lots of traffic between my machine and 174.129.193.12 which I did a whois on and found belonged to Amazon EC2 Cloud Server. The port on my machine was an unknown 5000+ but the port on the remote system was 443 the port used by https, however no browser was running. Did a search and put together a couple of iptable commands to block this IP address which stopped the traffic. I then used nmap and netstat and found port 3000 open and another connection to IP address 91.189.89.76 which I also blocked. Unusually no info exists on this IP when you do a whois. At first I thought it might be some sort of sync as this machine has Ubuntu One running on it, however it could also be something else.

I've been all over their site, but I just don't see any other way to access the cloud drive other then via their web interface.
Optimally, I am looking for a solution that will allow me to simply set up an rsync script or similar that would sync up a folder to a cloud drive every few days. Maybe their S3 tools can be used to do this?
