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). I'm using Debian Squeeze, and "apt-get install rox-filer" told me I already got the latest version. #rox-filer -v ROX-Filer 2.10 Compiled with GTK version 2.18by bodhi - Debian
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
Fluxbox file manager - 10 years ago
I've been using fluxbox for Debian Dockstar off and on and very happy with the simple and fast remote desktop (thanks Petergunn). I'm removing Webmin and freed up a whole bunch of RAM and eliminate its logging activities. Adding commands to the fluxbox window menu is quite simple, too. I'm looking for a simple small footprint file manager app to add to fluxbox, that allows fileby bodhi - Debian

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

Thanks Varkey. Do you turn on logging for things like samba and webmin? i.e. so you did not need to do any thing special about logging?by bodhi - Debian
Re: Dockstar Debian USB does not boot after power failure - 10 years ago
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. Anybody who has done this and want to take a stab at it? It seems there are partition scheme that work well such as: 1. Partition 1: Read-Only Ext2 which contains the /boot directory 2. Partition 2: Read-Write Ext3 which contaby bodhi - Debian
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. Note that I've modified kraqh3d's original udev rules to add a rule for "*Async", so that any USB drive that has a label ends with Async then it will be automounted as asynchroneous (instead of "by bodhi - Debian

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 10 years ago
@varkey, Does your PogoplugPro LED work properly? While running Debian, and the ArchLinux stick mounted on sdb1, I've copied the devmem2 and the proled script to Debian /sbin. I believe these are needed for Oxnas LED. # cp /media/sdb1/sbin/proled /sbin/ # cp /media/sdb1/sbin/devmem2 /sbin/ I setup rc.local and the /etc/rc0.d/K08halt script to turn on/off the LED light. /sbin/pby bodhi - uBoot

@oddballhero, Sorry I did not follow the instruction in your reference about the modprobe gmac closely :-) But I thought step 5 would force load the gmac module the same way!
