Maybe I'm the only one who didn't think about this, and you guys already made the change, but I just realized that all of my pogoplugs have the same ssh fingerprint! it makes sense as they all share a rootfs, so I guess that means if you didn't intentionally change yours, we would all have the same one! I fixed it by running these as root: rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host_* ssh-keygen -by Adam - Debian
i ended up following the guide at http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html it was so simple that im surprised it was not just a one line script to do it for you! I ended up plugging in one of these i had lying around: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001MSS6CS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and i installed mpd, and im very happy with tby Adam - Debian
I have been doing some searching here on the forum to get started on one of these POGO-V4-A1-01 units. It would seem that in the past, this model was harder to get working, but now it is simple as the others? I would like to boot from SD so that I can actually use the one USB port. does that change anything?by Adam - Debian
I can tell you that i started the rebate procedure, and the rebate comes in the form of an "American Express Reward Card"by Adam - Debian
I ended up getting 3! http://imgur.com/iS65MyJ the rebate says that it is good for 6 units, but i found out that is only if you get two of each version, so i will only be getting $20 back instead of $30, but im still pleased :) now to get hacking!by Adam - Debian
just came across this: http://slickdeals.net/f/7756633-pogoplug-pogo-v4-a1-01-mobile-or-pogoplug-sharing-device-pro-5-after-rebate-fs?%3F%3F=by Adam - Debian
right. this was prior to setting up swap. I just wanted to see if there was anything weird about the memory usage in your opinionby Adam - Debian
using "free" on my three pogos shows that i have 72M free on one, 5.6 free on another, and 159M free on the last one. im barely doing anything on any of them though... here is what htop looks like on all three: http://imgur.com/4h3bnNn does that seem normal?by Adam - Debian
i made sure to partition my usb drive with a swap partition, but it doesnt look like my pogo is actually using it. before I started doing general linux swap research, i wanted to check here to see if i was missing something. i verified that swap is not being used with " sudo swapon -s" thanks!by Adam - Debian
oh wow. I totally missed fixing the other instances of "/media/sdb1" ! thanks for catching that :) I was able to fix both of them with that little script! can I buy you a beer? :-Pby Adam - Debian
I wont be back on that side of the country for about 8 months, so I would like to remotely fix it. If i understand you correctly, running the following on the pogoplug as root would solve my problem: ### cd /boot cp -a zImage-3.17.0-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt cat dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb >> zImage.fdt # I added the following line to deal with the uImage.orig file that i created theby Adam - Debian
i looked back at my install notes, and it is definitely because i didnt change "kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb" to "kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb" ok so now i know that i improperly installed two pogo e02 units, but they are both about 1000 miles away right now. what else did my mistake effect? (one of the plugs has been up and running for about a month with (seemingly) no issues)by Adam - Debian
i can remote into the original two, and i have the two new ones on my desk. the two on my desk seem to have identical rc.local files. i think i understand kinda how the script is supposed to work, so i looked in /sys/class/leds/ and found something strange. in the pogo/rootfs that has a working LED, /sys/class/leds/ contains: status:green:health status:orange:fault in the other three,by Adam - Debian
i actually just called to check on one of my remote pogos (located with my parents) and was told that the LED on that one was also not lit up... so im hoping that somone has suggestions other than starting from scratch :)by Adam - Debian
so i just finished setting up my fourth Pogo E02, and the LED doesnt come on after it finishes booting. from what i can tell, the LED is controlled by /etc/rc.local , and i know that is being run because I added my own line to it for autossh, and that is working perfectly. I plugged the USB drive from my third pogo into the fourth, and the LED came on properly, so this would probably be fixeby Adam - Debian
for some reason i didnt think it would be as easy as just adding more packages! i just installed rsyslog and things look more normal. thanks guys!by Adam - Debian
ok after reading about the u-boot update process, im not sure i want to go through with it... from what i understand, other users here have no issues with the old u-boot in terms of stability :) this brings me back to my unanswered question from earlier: """ Is there a more feature full version of the rootfs that i can use? (refering partly to the lack of what i think is rsyslby Adam - Debian
im actually trying to super simplify it by having all the code and instructions in order that i have to execute :) got this part! while the instructions say /usr/bin, the tools are actually installed to /usr/sbin i ended up starting in on the first one by running: """ cd /tmp wget http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.shby Adam - Debian
OK. im going to read through your posts and try to come up with simple instructions to get a pogo-e02 from stock to the latest u-boot, with debian on an ext4 drive, and you tell me if it should work (if that is ok :) i naively thought that this was just like my default wheezy server at home, and was quite confused then i couldnt find some logs im used to in /var/log/ Is there a more feature fby Adam - Debian
ok, so i bought two more Pogo-E02 units after the two i bought about a month ago, and now that im not as rushed, i want to make sure i do this all properly. i found a relatively simple way to do things for my second one in the link below, but still had to make some tweaks after to change to ext3 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,18894 Clarification time! has Jeff abandoned the main dby Adam - Debian
