Re: [Android-tesla-devel] SSH and DBUS variables

[Ettore C. <ek5...@gm...>]

Hi again,
last night I tried to access my archbox with Tesla... and I developed a
workaround.

I decided to put the missing variables in .ssh/environment manually, and
edit /etc/ssh/sshd-config. And it finally WORKS!

Ok, Tesla have now the control of my dbus server, but it crashes with almost
all the players (with force close or a big error) on my Galaxy S i9000.

Another thing, I installed tracker to query the library... but tesla
generates no output when querying! Configuration problem?

The only player I used to control pretty good was banshee... But it's a bit
slow and I get some fc sometimes...

Today I will try another player, like MPD, or songbird.

Keep up!
