==Tips & tricks==
===BIOS===
Latest firmware [http://fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?title=BIOS_Update here]
<br>From linux:
<br>Unmount completely your USB stick to be used for flashing fit-pc2, here let's say the USB stick is under /dev/sdb
<br>You may consider backuping your USB content up to the size of the .img to be written on it first, then:
 dd if=128MBDOS.img of=/dev/sdb
 eject /dev/sdb
Manually unplug & replug the USB stick
 cp xxxxx.ROM /media/0000-0001
Unmount and use the stick to flash the fit-pc2

Once in the BIOS you may consider activating the CPU virtual extensions (vtx)
===Initial login===
 fit / 111111
 sudo
If you don't want to re-type fit password with sudo, edit /etc/sudoers: 
 %sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
The uncommented line must move to the end to get priority
<br>Then
 adduser fit sudo
This will work on next login (as usual when you add yourself to a group)
===Video===
On my TV, 1900x1080 output with default rate was not working, I had to force rate 60Hz:
<br>Temporarely for testing:
 xrandr --output default --mode 1900x1080 --rate 60
Permanently:
 System > Preferences > Display > 1900x1080 / 60
===Ubuntu===
Don't forget to change your feeds if you don't want the US ones.
 aptitude update
Then upgrade all packages
<br>Change timezone:
 dpkg-reconfigure tzdata
<br>You may consider installing also java, openssh, synergy,...
<br>Synergy is a great way to control the box hooked to your TV from your laptop!

===Wi-Fi on Ubuntu===
First time you type in your Wi-Fi credentials it will prompt for a keyring password. Don't do it if you want the box to be able to start & connect to the network automatically!
<br>If you did so, see [http://davestechsupport.com/blog/2009/01/16/how-to-remove-ubuntus-password-keyring/ here]: 
 rm -rf ~/.gnome2/keyrings/*
 reboot
To use the box more or less headless you might want it to connect to the Wi-Fi before running a X session for user fit.
<br>Remove network-manager and network-manager-gnome
<br>Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add
<pre>
allow-hotplug wlan0
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
    wpa-ssid ....
    wpa-psk ....
</pre>
===Multicast===
In this example the wired eth0 is hooked to a multicast-aware network (IPTV)

Prepare for multicast:
<br>Comment the following lines in /etc/sysctl.d/10-network-security.conf :
 #net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter=1
 #net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=1
In some situations people need also to add this for their own IPTV network:
 net.ipv4.icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts=0
 net.ipv4.conf.eth0.force_igmp_version=2
<br>Edit /etc/network/interfaces and add
<pre>
allow-hotplug eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 0.0.0.0
    up route add -net 224.0.0.0 netmask 240.0.0.0
</pre>
===IR support===
See [http://www.fit-pc2.com/wiki/index.php?title=IR_support_in_Ubuntu IR support in Ubuntu]
 fit@ubuntu-fitpc2:~$ lsusb
 Bus 004 Device 002: ID 03eb:21fe Atmel Corp. 
This is in fact the [http://www.alldiy.info/usb.html IR receiver IgorPlug-USB]
 aptitude install lirc
=> choose Igor Cesko USB IR Receiver
 /etc/init.d/lirc stop
To get a list of keynames (needed for next step):
 irrecord --list-namespace|less
To program your remote:
 irrecord -d /dev/lirc0 -f /etc/lirc/myremote.conf
 cp /etc/lirc/myremote.conf /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
 /etc/init.d/lirc start
To test (press some keys on the remote):
 irw
