[Ubuntu Intrepid] Pidgin message notification using ThinkPad's "standby" LED

Recently I purchased a Lenovo ThinkPad X200. Just wondering why nobody is using some LED to do the notification. After a while searching, there is a software called "led-notification".

Unfortunately, to blink my thinkpad's LED I will need to echo "7 blink" instead of "1" or "0". So I just modified the code and packaging it then leave it in my launchpad PPA.

To install this package, please make sure you are running Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex, then follow the steps:
=== Install with apt ===

Add these two lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list
$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/jouston-huang/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/jouston-huang/ppa/ubuntu intrepid main

Now you will need to add gpg key for my PPA:

$ sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 5627B79802F9CAEF70E58319B51F433BBCE861C1

After you done, install package now:

$ sudo aptitude update
$ sudo aptitude install pidgin-lednotification-thinkpad

If you want to test it, do this in any irc channel:

/msg [YourOwnName] ping

You will see the "standby" LED is blinking.

Enjoy!
