Background
We received some reports about the Lumicast Pixie not rendering emojis correctly in for example the LinkedIn app. This article is aimed at solving this particular issue.
Prerequisites
- A keyboard that connects via USB
- Optionally a mouse that connects via USB
- A Pixie player that is connected to internet via cable or Wi-Fi
The solution
Connect a keyboard
Connect a keyboard (and optionally a mouse) via USB to the Lumicast Pixie:
Open the terminal
Press ctrl+alt+T at the same time - the terminal should open. If it doesn’t, press the Windows key on your keyboard and move your mouse to System Tools, then click LXTerminal.
Install the emoji font
In the terminal, type the following command:
sudo apt-get install -y fonts-noto-color-emoji
Verify that the font installed correctly
In the terminal, type the following command:
fc-list | grep “Noto Color Emoji”
This should show the installed font, just like in this image:
Restart your Pixie
In the terminal, type the following command to restart your Lumicast Pixie player:
sudo reboot
