Running on NON RPi hardware..

[DansDesigns]

Hello, Thank you for this brilliant project!

I have been working to get this running on an Ubuntu Server build with no default gui.. I have tried using Snakeware OS as the basis for my project but that failed to boot on my older hardware..

anyway, I have managed to bypass the RPi elements and have the main app running on my Toshiba Satellite C855D.. I have found that as per my comment on closed issue #32, xorg needs to be run with root privlages..

I have also found that changing the resolution in the config.py file from the default 800x480, to the included widescreen resloution of 1366x768, does not make the LCARS expand to fill the screen, instead it moves the same 800x480 window to the top left of the screen... The native resolution of my laptop screen is 1366x768 so I thought it would simply work lol..

Also the mouse fails to appear when using xint (or run.sh) however when using the startx mouse shows up with no problem..

I will continue working on these issues as i wish to make a fully working LCARS distro with voice control and i would love to use your rpi_lcars as the base!

To re-scale the UI, you will need to resize the assets (e.g. the background image), and re-position the widgets. It's all hardcoded to a specific resolution, as this keeps the code way simpler and it was meant to run on the RPi with official touchscreen.
