| About Linux Bluetooth Remote Control (LBRC) |
LBRC allows you to control you Linux Computer with a Java capable phone.
Linux Bluetooth Remote Control (LBRC) is a remote control program that allows a Linux computer to be controlled by a J2ME device via Bluetooth. It is divided into a server part that runs on the computer and reacts to input events and a client part that runs on the J2ME device. The J2ME client sends the device's keycodes, which are translated to keystrokes, mouse movements, mouse clicks, or other input events on the controlled computer.
In newer versions modules were added that not only translate the keypresses on the phone to mouse/keyboard events, but that allow you to execute arbitrary programms, call DBUS methods (for example you can control rhythmbox this way) and some more.
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.2.x.
Other dependencies include: uinput support in the kernel, python-gtk2, python-json, python-dbus, python-bluez, python-gnome2-extras |
| Latest Version: 0.6.4 |
(relative to 0.6.2, as 0.6.3 never made it here):
* make DBUSCaller working again
* Add XInput Module (non kernel based keyboard control)
* smaller j2me applet and better device handling
* improved debugging and debian packages
* working with new dbus bluez api (Ubuntu 8.10 revealed this problem)
