Matt’s Howto:

The bulk of the howto is going to be in the video. However, there are some things you need access to.

1) Kdenlive – use this Ubuntu PPA if you’re using Ubuntu 11.10.
In a terminal window:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:sunab/kdenlive-release
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kdenlive

2) When you first run Kdenlive, it’s likely going to give you some first run errors, regarding ML, cancel instead of closing the app (so the first run wizard runs again later).
If running Ubuntu 11.10 and you’ve added the PPA, you will want to add/update the following.

From Synaptic, search for libmlt++3 – if it’s showing you have anything older than version 0.7.6, update the package. Also double check that libmlt-data and libmlt4 are installed.

Now you can run kdenlive again and it will show everything is working perfectly.

3) To run your webcam successfully in Google Plus hangouts, make sure your webcam is plugged in (directly, no hubs). Open up a Google Plus hangout without joining it. Visit “check settings”. If the webcam is working, great. If it’s not, then close the browser and install WebcamStudio from the latest Deb package. It will installed either via Gdebi or from the Software Center automatically.

3a) If you want/need to run WebcamStudio, perhaps because your webcam wasn’t detected in Firefox or Chrome, start the software, follow along with the video to get the software running with your webcam.

4) Since your end goal is to record Google Plus hangouts as a video, you will need to install the screen recording software known as Kazam.
In a terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kazam-team/stable-series
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kazam

5) Open the Kazam software as I showed you in the video and confirm your settings and begin recording. To stop recording once you’ve started, look to the upper right near the network settings and clock, right click on the Kazam widget and stop recording from there. Remember: Do not export to a video editor directly as the video file will not be saved normally. Choose to save it for later instead.

6) With Kazam recording and WebcamStudio using your webcam, open a browser with the Google Video chat plugin installed, browse to Google Plus, then start a hangout.

7) Once the hangout is finished, close the hangout, stop Kazam, save the file, import it into Kdenlive. Drag the video into the timeline, cut the clip as to make sure the area you wish to obscure is covered. Tip: When moving the obscure box corners, understand that it’s very sensitive and getting the cursor into position takes a steady hand. So patience is critical.

8) Save the project, export it as you see fit.

So what is it? It\’s a tablet called the C71 built by ZeniThink, sold under various names.

ZeniThink appears to be competing in the cheap Android space, and some of their models have some real design flair to them.

Zenithink were one of the first Android tablet makers in China, and were responsible for the original Android ePad almost 2 years ago.

The C71 is their cheapest unit, and it also happens to be the unit the highly anticipated KDE Spark Tablet will be built around.

Show Notes

Pros:

Price. $150 shipped.
802.11n
Very current Android
Ships Rooted!
Screen is bright
5-Point Capacitive Touchscreen
HDIMI Out
VERY easy to re-flash. Just hold down Power and Volume Down at boot.

Cons:

There is no GPS, which is not uncommon for a 7 inch without 3G, but I would have liked it.
There is no bluetooth, which would have been nice.
No 3G
Vertical viewing angle is limited.
4GB of Storage, makes it tight for apps. Gonna need a TF Memory Card
Speaker on the Back, so audio is always away from you.

Build Quality

You can\’t complain much at $150. But it feels very sturdy, but a bit cheap. Some dirt under the screen (very noticeable in one spot) and light bleed from the LEDs.

Battery:

3000mAh
Music: About 8 hours
Video: About 3-4 hours
Standby: About two days

A Different Tactic:

Unlike Apple, Motorola, Samsung, and many others. ZeniThink is going for the direct sale, and white label approach. Mine was labeled and sold as the UPAD

Awesome Window Manager Review:

• Awesome Vicious Modules
• Awesome Setup Examples – Arch Forum
• First steps with Awesome window manager

• awesome (window manager) – Wikipedia

  The fork was initially nicknamed jdwm, with ‘jd’ denoting the principal programmer’s initials, and with dwm reminding of the software project it forked from. The first git repository for what was to become awesome was set up in September 2007. jdwm was renamed to awesome, named after the same phrase used by the How I Met Your Mother character Barney Stinson.

• Like dwm and wmii, awesome uses tags instead of workspaces. Windows can be assigned to several tags, and multiple tags can be selected at the same time.
