Yes, I did finally update this. This time two separate video’s to attempt to keep the boredom viewing times to a reasonable limit.
This is being done on a Ubuntu 10.04 machine and the USB drive is a 2GB Kingston. Its older, but more than sufficient for the job.
Part 1:
Part 2:
I hope this helps anyone having issues with this process. If you have any questions feel free to comment.

I try to avoid software thats end of life but occasionally I get stuck with a few programs that just don’t have any updated versions or are tied to a piece of hardware that I need to use. LCDC is software designed to run little LCD displays you can buy for your computer. I have one in particular thats over 3 years old now but still runs great. However it hasn’t been updated well ever.
Today I took to scanning my PC and discovered that some of the plugins for LCDC were infected. I decided to check the web site http://www.lcdc.cc/downloads.htm for updates, it didn’t appear off hand that any were actually updated, but it does appear that some are not infected and others still are.

I wasn’t going to get into this too much since the download is one you’ll have to build and I didn’t want to go through all the motions to make this happen. But it appears someone has created a Virtual Machine (VM) you can use to try it out.
http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os/download/ is the place to get it at. You will need to create an account on the site (free), download a copy of Chrome OS which they offer a link to do that and you’ll need a VM platform to get it working. VMWare is what it’s designed for, but VirtualBox can also use vmware images but there could be issues (not all work perfectly) as you’ll see from the site.
http://www.vmware.com/products/player — To Get Vmware Player. If you have a Mac you can use Fusion, and it should work find on other VMWare products.
http://www.virtualbox.org — To get VirtualBox, but I’d recommend installing it from your distributions repository for full support, other wise you’re on your own updating it and all that fun stuff.
http://www.google.com/chrome/intl/en/eula_dev.html — Source from Google, may have to jump through some hoops to download it
http://gdgt.com/google/chrome-os — To Get Chrome OS ready to go.
Note: all these links can be found on gdgt.com directly from the first link in this article. I include them for convenience.
Also you can review TechCrunch’s web site that will give you some step-by-step instructions along with a torrent link to download it from also

If you’ve attempted to upgrade your Java from Sun and encountered this error, you probably were left scratching your head, The link to Sun’s Help Resources have no effective solution at the time or writing this, it simply states:
The actual root cause of this issue is still under investigation…
Isn’t that helpful…I have discovered a solution hopefully it will work for you.

With a great deal of disappointment I have to make this post. I have been a avid user of this tool in the past (I’m still running a pretty old version of this on a XP box) since it expedited deleting of files that were locked by an application. It would clearly identify whom locked the file and give me the option to delete it. However it appears that it is in fact bundled with ADWARE. This is defined by some AV products as a Trojan, including Microsoft Essentials as TrojanClicker:Win32/Yabector.gen
It should be noted that CNet’s Download.com ‘verifys’ its spyware free, yet obviously either this was a clear ‘miss’ on their part, or they do not classify adware as spyware. This confirms my thinking that anything on Download.com should be considered ‘risky’ software since they either mislead or don’t bother to check the software that’s uploaded or availble from download.com. My thinking is they simply are misleading by ‘verify’ing it contains no spyware. Others have disclosed this over the past year and a bit that this version has been around for download so I think ample time was provided for Cnet to correct this.
