@InfoScav - I saw the thread, bodhi's answer is perfect ... once you have Debian installed, then should be plain sailing. Couldn't comment on resource usage, I have so far no complaints with any client that I've installed in that regard. I don't think torrents are particularly resource intensive. For deluge on Debian it's in their repository, so a couple of apt-get&by DonCharisma - Debian
Hi @exenew - there are multiple different ways to do what you want to do ! 1) If you have gparted or clonezilla or even "dd" command on another linux box you can duplicate the flash stick there. 2) Use bodhi's rootfs to create a "fresh" wheezy installation with new kernel - he lists the exact procedure to do so here - http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 3) Iby DonCharisma - Debian
You're welcome Robert ... I recently (re)used an old mouse's microswiches for a reset and power button for a PC motherboard ... haven't been able to confirm working as yet, the motherboard died before I could test ! It's interesting to see what's possible without a soldering iron ... Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@twinclouds - I'm bookmarking this one, as I may need a VPN later and if there's a simple way to implement then why not ... Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@metric thanks for the info ... it's better when it's taken care of in hardware ! ... and yes some ultra-cheap industrial grade media, I'd like that too :D bodhi beat me too it on ZFS, my research indicated it needs a lot of memory, more for RAID5/6 (6-8GB recommended by freeNAS ) ... if I recall correctly ... but maybe some factors have changed ! Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@bodhi, agreed, it's a working and relatively simple solution ... I'm sure it doesn't cater for every scenario, more testing would highlight any changes needed :D ... and it certainly could be enhanced to be more generic ... and so on ... I tried the /etc/network/interfaces with the post-up / post-down, but unplugging the RJ45 isn't enough for the adapter to be consided &quby DonCharisma - Debian
Thanks guys for help Robert out ... @Robert - I think once you've got the new kernel and modules, and installed the packages @Gravelrash mentioned, fingers crossed, hopefully it'll be plug and play ! Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@Gravelrash, thanks my friend, that was helpful ... As for discussions about whether it's "allowed" or not to have two interfaces on the same box connected to the same subnet ... just meh ! really, I gave a perfectly good explaination of my purpose in my OP ... and Windows handles all of these situations well, as does xfce, gnome and probably just about every other desktop versiby DonCharisma - Debian
@grayman4hire - thanks, glad to know :D ... helps me too - to remember what I did, so win-win ! Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
What I was trying to do was to get wlan0 to operate when I unplug eth0. Would be nice to have in the opposite direction too. I thought it'd be a simple case of setting up eth0 and wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces with 192.168.1.10 (eth0) and 192.168.1.11 (wlan0) respectively. But it's never that simple, is it ? When I unplug eth0, wlan0 goes down too. It also seems that pings to wby DonCharisma - Debian
As an update I'm currently running Debian jessie on Odroid C1, using this script to generate wheezy bootable .img - https://github.com/tomuta/debian-mini-odroid-c1 I posted the Debian jessie upgrade method on the Odroid forums here - http://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=114&t=8084&start=50#p75549 I found the Odroid C1 to be very quick - impressed with the speed of the deviceby DonCharisma - Debian
As an update, I'm currently using "Deluge" torrent client locally in Asia. It seems that by using port 8080 for incoming connections I can bypass my ISPs restrictions. So far I'm pleased with Deluge, and getting respectable download speeds. Haven't been able to get decent upload speeds as yet, but working on it. It's possible that transmission or rutorrent could bby DonCharisma - Debian
@bodhi - I don't think there's any rush with uploading jessie rootfs, the upgrade path works and is fairly painless. Debian and linux is still fairly new to me, so it all tends to be "testing" ... however I am learning, slowly, that things happen quicker when one doesn't have to spend hours fixing this and that ... "upgrades" and "updates" aren'by DonCharisma - Debian
@robert - I saw the thread, but I know zero about input devices ... my general approach would be to keep hitting google until I find something that answers my question - but guess you've already tried that ! Usually my experience is with something plugged in via USB that doesn't "just work" is caused by a missing driver (or firmware or module). For instance I plugged in a Nby DonCharisma - Debian
Hey John, thanks for answering all my questions ... and excellent job considering your newbie'ness ... one thing I really like about this forum is that there are new people coming in and learning how to Debian'ise (or break) stuff :D The question about running on for instance an amd64 machine was more related to cross-compiling (cross architecture), which as far as I can see you'by DonCharisma - Debian
@bodhi, thanks, that's much more comprehensive than I would have said ! ... and very useful to see your more experienced take in it :D I've done it quite a few times and found jessie to be pretty stable on all devices. I use jessie on my "main" computers too, although haven't as yet been able to kick Win 7, which I use for photo editing and some other stuff, like typinby DonCharisma - Debian
Thanks for sharing John, that's a useful script, well done :D It's good to see people creating new stuff out of what's already been put out there ... I wouldn't consider myself an expert, more a persistent amateur, so do take my comments with a pinch of salt ! Presumably, the purpose of the script is to create a almost bare minimum bootable rootfs, on the machine one wisby DonCharisma - Debian
@rkrug - thanks for posting, I always wondered how this was done ! Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@WzL, I setup transmission using the Debian help page, it's pretty simple to do, little fiddling with a config file ... Simple is good because it saves time, for doing other things ! Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
Haven't got around to doing anything with my Odroids as yet. However someone (I think an Odroid forum member) has posted a GIT that allows building a basic bootable Debian flash image - https://github.com/tomuta/debian-mini-odroid-c1 So probably this is the answer to the OPs original question. Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@bodhi, that makes sense. So basically fsck.f2fs isn't in initramfs, so therefore it needs to mount rootfs before it can fsck and linux doesn't like fsck'ing mounted partitions ... bit of a catch 22 there ! ... simple solution turn off the fsck, which does leave the partition open to becoming corrupt and unbootable ! My research also said that grub2 won't touch an f2fs partby DonCharisma - Debian
@Peacemaker, just has a look at that one, nice ! Seems it has 2x SATA 2 ports, and the USB3/ESATA on the back is on a mini-pcie card ? A good deal you got on it, I'll keep my eyes open and thanks for making me aware ... presumably Debian on this box is pretty straightforward ? Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@dinjo - thanks that's very helpful ... and words of warning appreciated ! I haven't as yet had time to setup either transmission or rtorrrent, as yet ... Looks like both are easy enough to setup, then it'll be a case of which web interface works best and download speeds. Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
I purchased two Odroid C1, so will be looking into Debianising in the near future :D The only other thing which I liked for the money was the Banana Pi which has SATA and Gigabit ethernet, but I decided quad core was better than dual core and SATA could be done via USB. Odroid do seem to be leading the field in terms of price and specification ... Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@bodhi - Thanks my friend, very helpful ... I'd had similar issue with labelling the filesystem, seems it's only possible during creation with the mkfs.f2fs command (the tune2fs label command wouldn't work on f2fs) ... So boot wise to get this to work, then it's Jessie for sure as f2fs-tools aren't in Wheezy ... and if booting a labelled partition is an issue, I gueby DonCharisma - Debian
@bodhi - that's helpful, although there's only one issue - my f2fs installation was in a reboot loop so I can't SSH into the box to run 'logread' command ... what I wanted to do was to read the log from the filesystem after mounting the f2fs parition on a working linux installation ... was thinking that removing the busybox-systemd would start it writing to /var/log/dmesgby DonCharisma - Debian
@Gravelrash - you're a gentleman and a scholar :D Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
No probs ... at least you've found the answer ... from memory when partitioning I've only seen 4 primary partitions on Linux, but that's probably all with MBR ... Cheersby DonCharisma - Debian
@Gravelrash ... know what you mean I'm busy with work too! My understanding is bodhi has included the f2fs module in our kernels fairly recently ... do a text search for "f2fs" on the kernel thread and you'll be able to see which kernel it was switched on in ... I've had f2fs working on 3.17 kernel, it reads and writes to it, and if you're on Jessie you can createby DonCharisma - Debian
@dinjo - that's really helpful, I looked into rTorrent and ruTorrent for the web interface, seemed to be quite a lot to install ... but also seems very popular ... transmission I'm also hearing good things about too :) @Gravelrash - thanks my friend, it seems transmission has web client built in ... just one question - is authentication built in, ie do you have a username and passworby DonCharisma - Debian
