I had been running Debian Squeeze on my pink Pogoplug since 2011 quite happily. Occasionally, for no reason that I could see, a 'lockup' would occur, and my solution was typically to force a power-down, remove my USB stick, run 'fsck' repairs required, plug back in, and reboot. I learned that some USB brands were more resilient than others. Yes, a bit tedious at times but mby darethehair - Debian

Easy question: Anybody tried one of the popular/cheap USB-based video capture devices (e.g. Easycap DC60, Dazzle DVC100, etc.) on an A10 device? Normally I would guess that since such devices work OK on regular Linux desktops/laptops, that there would be no problem -- but I know from experience with 'gphoto2' camera control that not all USB ports work well for Linux devices (i.e. nevby darethehair - Allwinner A10

Yesterday, after another tiny power outage, I once again went through my 'filesystem repair' procedures with my Debian USB stick on Pogoplug Pink, and this time -- sadly -- no matter what I did, read/write errors kept cropping up and ultimately preventing me (so I think) from being able to start my webserver running again. I went into 'emergency' mode and rebuilt everything fby darethehair - Debian
I don't know if I should be comparing the behavior of my Pogoplug to the Dockstar, but I also have had some difficulty with power outage reboots. One thing that I have noticed is that my USB stick 'ext2' file system appears to be corrupted each time this occurs. Twice now I have removed the stick from the Pogoplug, plugged it into my Linux desktop, unmounted the device, and thenby darethehair - Debian

I was fortunate enough to take advantage of a sale on the 'pink' Pogoplug recently, and I somewhat regret only getting one. Now I notice that a small sale is occurring for the 'black' Pogoplug in my area i.e. the 'Pro' version. From reading this thread, and others, it sounds like 'PlugApps' is already successfully running on the Pro. From the conversatioby darethehair - uBoot

Ah, another strange behavior that I got caught on is due to my own sloppiness and laziness: some shell scripts that I had written worked fine when *I* ran them, but failed when *cron* did... It turns out that the 'sh' shell (dash?) was being used by cron, but my own foreground sessions were using 'bash' (which is normal for me). I had to make sure that I added the typicalby darethehair - Debian
Thanks restamp! You are 100% correct on both points!by darethehair - Debian
This first one is more of an 'FYI' than an actual appeal for help :) My Debian Pogoplug is humming along just fine -- though I do run into the occasional weird behavior where strange things occur e.g. in one of my bash scripts, I have a line that contains a 'degree' symbol -- using 'vi' to edit that line goes crazy on my Pogoplug -- but on a normal Linux system it (by darethehair - Debian

I decided to dig a bit deeper like dhkaufman did, and starting putting some debugging code into that particular script (/usr/share/debootstrap/functions) with my own lines tagged with 'Dare', and here is what I got on the first corrupt file: I: Checking component main on http://mirrors.xenir.com/debian...

Ack! Just got my Pogoplug today, and ran smack into this 'corrupt debs' issue :( I tried various mirrors, as well as changing the version of 'debootstrap' to 'debootstrap_1.0.26+squeeze1_all.deb', but no dice.

New guy here. I skimmed a bunch of existing posts, and forgive me if I missed the one(s) that answer my question -- but I was hoping for some simple pro/con points on the various media options available for running Debian on a Pogoplug v2 (pink).
