Re: Squeeze to Wheezy - 10 years ago
Every thing seems to be OK running kernel 3.1.9. Then I ran "fdisk -l" to check for before mounting another USB thumb drive. I got the following errors: root@Ds1:~# fdisk -l Disk /dev/mtdblock0: 1 MB, 1048576 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 0 cylinders, total 2048 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O sizeby bodhi - Debian

Re: Squeeze to Wheezy - 10 years ago
@davygravy, Thanks! indeed, I've tried to install a newer initramfs-tools unsuccessfully (I followed kraqh3d's pointers in this thread about mixing wheezy packages with squeeze). I guessed the dependencies were problematic. I could not get wheezy or sid version of initramfs-tools automatically with apt. And I don't want to manually pull in the whole dependent group of packages,by bodhi - Debian

Re: Fluxbox file manager - 10 years ago
I'm back playing with fluxbox and ROX-filer manager on Debian. Still having this drag-n-drop problem! I've verified that I'm running as root on both windows. Still, dragging a file from one ROX-filer window to another pops it right back! I was able to open a copy dialog in a ROX-filer window and copied a file to that destination successfully (so I don't think it's perby bodhi - Debian
Re: Nas Server to install Debian - 10 years ago
It's the same spec as the Dockstar. But it has more RAM (256K). So yes it is more powerful than the Dockstar in that sense. ArchLinux ARM forum has the specs for most of the plugs: http://archlinuxarm.org/platformsby bodhi - Debian

Re: Debian on a Pogoplug Pro (the easy way with ALARM kernel) - 10 years ago
Twinclouds, The ArchLinux installation must be done before before we can switch to the Debian roots. Because WarheadsSE kernel for OXNAS is installed in NAND, and that will boot whatever in the USB drive. Make sure that the USB Debian drive is EXT3. Prepare the drive with Varkey's rootfs for Debian. And correct the MAC address on this Debian drive with your own box address. After thaby bodhi - Debian
Re: Debian on a Pogoplug Pro (the easy way with ALARM kernel) - 10 years ago
Twinclouds, Of course there is really no need to maintain a separate ArchLinux USB boot drive. I was only suggesting that we should maintain a copy of the ALARM USB stick for: - Just in case we need a fallback mechanism for booting back to ArchLinux. - In the scenario where we'd need to compile new modules or updating modules from ALARM distribution. It seems the best way to to do thatby bodhi - Debian
Re: Debian on a Pogoplug Pro (the easy way with ALARM kernel) - 10 years ago
You should always keep your ArchLinux USB stick/HDD up-to-date for the PogoPlug Pro. Prepare your modules on that (whether compiling new ones, or updating from ALARM distribution), and then copy them over the Debian USB stick/HDD. Isn't that simple?by bodhi - Debian

Re: Fluxbox file manager - 10 years ago
@killerhippy, So far every thing else works great, but not drag-and-drop, ironically! dragging a file from one window to another to copy or move does not work for me (nothing happened, the icon pops right back).

Re: Fluxbox file manager - 10 years ago
Killerhippy, Thanks for recommended rox-filer! it is really nice. I've tried a few different file managers for fluxbox (there is such thing as too many choices with Linux :-) before your post but not entirely happy with them. rox-filer is very nice, small footprint and very fast. Exactly what I am looking for. The most important thing for me with this is: it seamlessly uses the mountby bodhi - Debian

I've been using fluxbox for Debian Dockstar off and on and very happy with the simple and fast remote desktop (thanks Petergunn).

Re: Dockstar Debian USB does not boot after power failure - 10 years ago
Since my purpose is to be able to run Debian on the Dockstar with only a USB flash drive (smallest footprint and minimum cost possible), I've set up a 2 partition USB flash drive. Both partitions are Ext2 to avoid wearing out the drive. Note that Varkey has reported success with a single Ext3 partition on HDD (see above), this Ext2-partition-only setup is better suit flash drives. It is aby bodhi - Debian

I've read posts here and there about how to solve this power outage problem with booting from a USB flash drive, but not sure I've seen a consolidated how-to.

Re: how to Automount USB and remote file mangement - 10 years ago
Here is my setup for USB drives auto-mounting (came from this original working thread). There are 3 parts: udev rules, pmounting all USB drives in rc.local, and the pmount script.
