Debian 7.0 has been released!

I made the update last night for my goflex net running squeezeplug (Debian 6.0), and everything is working fine. I had to tweak some of my config files, but other than that, it was a smooth update. I feel as if the OS is running a little bit faster off of my usb drive.

Sadly my Pogoplug doesn't reboot after trying to update to Wheezy :(
Any idea why?

Did you updated your uBoot before updating to Wheezy?

Link to current uBoot

Yes. At least on my dockstar, wheezy fails to properly unmount the root filesystem every single time I reboot (shutdown -r now) or halt (shutdown -h now) it. Thus the filesystem is broken and the system fails to boot. Happens every single time.

I can repair it with "fsck.ext2 -f" and it will work until the next reboot...

If I could just figure out why this happens...

Edit: I am pretty sure now my problem is related to mounted cifs-shares. If I unmount them manually before shutdown/reboot everything seems to work. :-/

I've tried to install Wheezy onto my Dockstar, but it refuses to boot.
It gets to
[ ok ] Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server: sshd.
and stays there indefinitely.

sshd does not start.

I built the system using the following procedure:
debootstrap from OpenWRT (because of same architecture and similar kernel)
uInitrd and uImage were built on Linux Mint with uboot-mkimage and copied.
System was installed onto the first partition of an 8gb class4 uSD card, the same card and partition which worked perfectly with Squeeze using the same procedure.

Full boot log is here: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=5FvBaCu9
Debootstrap cmd: debootstrap --verbose --no-check-gpg --arch=armel --variant=minbase --include=linux-image-kirkwood,flash-kernel,kmod,udev,netbase,ifupdown,iproute,openssh-server,dhcpcd,iputils-ping,wget,net-tools,ntpdate,u-boot-tools,vim-tiny,dialog wheezy /home/debian http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian

Anyone have any ideas?... I've looked for log files but to no avail. I'm not sure what to try next :/

Hi,
after dist-upgrading to wheezy (clean NSA320 root image from davygravy with kernel 3.3.2) the network interface did not fetch an IP via dhcp. I tracked the problem down to the system date beeing too old and without network ntp cannot get the correct date from the internet... Now with every "/etc/init.d/networking stop" I save the current date to a file and set the system time at every "/etc/init.d/networking start" to that date. Now everything works fine! However I had some xfs filesystem errors (null journal) with this kernel and I upgraded my NSA320 to 3.8.4 and so far (uptime 30 minutes...) everything works as expected.

Hi,

Since the debian 7.0 is up, my version is 7.0 in /etc/debian_version, i cannot install new software
My goflex is runnig fine with uname -a

Linux goflexhome 3.8.4-dockstar #2 Wed Mar 27 17:10:47 CET 2013 armv5tel
for example :
apt-get update
=> no error
then:
apt-get dist-upgrade
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Calculating upgrade... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

But i'm unable to install anything via apt-get example with postgresql:

apt-get install postgresql
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package postgresql is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
libpg-perl

E: Package 'postgresql' has no installation candidate

I've google for this error but at this moment found no solutions

Have you notice this ?

In my opinion we have left access to update debian on goflex/dockstar/pogoplug

Finally i found why i can't update.
I was using wheezy in testing mode:
in /etc/preferences
i had
Package: *
Pin: release a=testing
Pin-Priority: 900

Package: *
Pin: release o=Debian
Pin-Priority: -10

At this time there's no testing, so i suppress al entrey in the file and is ok.
i can now install with apt-get.
