The Repower America Wall is a campaign to raise awareness about Repower America and its efforts to solve the climate crisis. Through a combination of video, image and commentary, the American public now has a platform where it can speak its mind about climate matters.

The campaign launched in November 2009 with tandem efforts online and on television. The television ad campaign was driven by images from the repoweramerica.org/wall.

In the weeks prior to launch, thousands of videos, photos and comments had been gathered by field teams in all states. The video footage and images were then uploaded by volunteers using the Admin Panel developed by SignalFive.

Find your UDID

First things first….Your iPhone/iPod Touch has a Unique Device Identifier. There are ways to find it in one click, but let’s go one step further. Most likely, you have to get this UDID number out to a developer who will then send you the Ad Hoc Distribution. So, let’s make your life easier. Download an app called AdHoc (it’s free)

AdHoc Application

After this, you will see the app appear on your iPhone/iPod Touch, as shown below:

AdHoc app

Now, open the AdHoc app and you will see your iPhone/iPod Touch’s UDID ready to email to whomever you choose!

UDID screen

Get the Ad Hoc Distribution and mobileprovision files

Now your iPhone/iPod Touch can be included in the Ad Hoc Distribution. Once the app is ready and has been sent to you, you should have two files. One is a file called AppName.mobileprovision, and the other should be AppName.zip.

mobileprovision and zip files

Drag the mobileprovision document onto the iTunes icon in your Dock (note: some tutorial might recommend dragging the file directly into ITunes. From my experience, this has not worked as well as just dragging onto the Dock icon).

Dragging .provision file into iTunes

Next take the zip file that contains the actual app, and unzip it. You should be left with a file that ends with the .app extension.

App file

Now drag this onto the iTunes icon in the Dock as well. You may or may not get some sort of prompt, depending on if the app already exists in your iTunes library (say, from a previous Ad Hoc distribution).

Sync and Finish up!

You should see the app in your iTunes library at this point. The last step is pressing ‘Sync‘ in iTunes to synchronize your iTunes library with your actual device.

Sync button

At this point, you should have the app installed on your iPhone / iPod Touch! Have any other suggestions? Let us know either via comment or writing to us at contact@signalfive.com!

(Note: your experience may differ slightly depending on your exact technical setup between your device and iTunes)

1. Download the driver

2. Reboot your machine into recovery mode and run

$ sudo sh DRIVER-PACKAGE-NAME.run

3. Reboot, again and run

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

add the line:

Option         “ModeValidation” “NoTotalSizeCheck”

to the “Screen” section

Here is what the Screen section of my xorg.conf now looks like:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    Option         "ModeValidation" "NoTotalSizeCheck"
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
    EndSubSection
EndSection

You should now be able to take full advantage of your graphics card, run Compiz, set up TwinView, etc.
