Gravelrash, As someone who uses a couple of Pogos for music players I highly recommend Forked-Daapd (Can scan a network shared music library, play an audio pipe automatically from a detected line-in source *via cPiped, Airplay to remote speakers, be controlled by Apple Remote app, web interface, or MPD client, stream your Spotify library, cast to Chromecast, scrobble to LastFM for tracking youby cdlenfert - Off-Topic
No, sorry to get your hopes up, it was on Craigslist. I'd be surprised though if there wasn't a Pi deal to be had elsewhere on today of all days.by cdlenfert - Off-Topic
I do mention having swap of 256 mb enabled in the prerequisites :)by cdlenfert - Debian
Do you have a swap file or partition enabled? Basically you need extra ram beyond the Pros 128mb to install.by cdlenfert - Debian
I just started playing with DietPi on my 3B and it's pretty slick. Flashes to a MicroSD very quickly, lets you install all kind of thing easily. But I'd imagine getting the base DietPi to install is one thing, but getting the other services/apps installers to be compatible with the armel devices would be next to impossible. One example is Pihole. DietPi includes an installer for that, bby cdlenfert - Debian
Wow, I'm really tempted to get one of those, but I just picked up a Pi 3B for $20 that I couldn't pass up at the time. Thanks for sharing the link. I just started playing with DietPi on my new 3B and it includes a software manager with a semi-gui via the terminal (sort of like the raspi-config utility). I've installed NextCloud but there are loads of options and it's optimby cdlenfert - Off-Topic
If you have SSH I can't think of a reason you'd need telnet. If you're on the stock Pogoplug OS you can enable telnet by doing the following: mount -o remount,rw / vi /etc/init.d/rcS Find the part that looks like this: if [ "x$cedebug" != "x" ]; then telnetdby cdlenfert - Off-Topic
I'd also be very interested in that. I have used the following VPN solution on my Raspberry Pi 3B and it's working well. https://github.com/hwdsl2/setup-ipsec-vpn#installation That runs the VPN server for my home network and I prefer it to using open VPN because I can connect via the native VPN support in Mac OS, iOS, and Windows without having to run the OpenVPN client app. I haby cdlenfert - Off-Topic
I took the rootfs USB drive for my E-02 and tried connecting it to my Raspberry Pi. The Pi didn't have enough power to spin the drive so the drive just clicked continuously. I hooked it up to my Mac and no more clicking. My Mac couldn't mount it (being ext3 format) so I made a backup of the base drive in DMG (compressed disc image) form. Since that basically copied my entire drive withoby cdlenfert - Debian
That's not totally surprising to me :) The question now is can I successfully make a backup of my system and restore it to a new drive (assuming the drive doesn't crap out again during the process) without carrying over corrupt files or other problems that may have been created by a failing drive?by cdlenfert - Debian
a new development today, while running autoreconf I got a "Bus error". Shortly after any command that referenced the file system would hang. In my research it looks like it could point to hardware issues. I'm going to attempt a system repair and see if that helps.by cdlenfert - Debian
I was able to crash/freeze my system again in a similar way. This time I was doing an rsync of a 2TB external drive to another 2TB external drive. I did get into htop a few times and saw RAM usage going up to 125MB so maybe it maxed out at some point, but my Pogo E-02 has 256MB with 512MB of swap enabled. Anyway I could still Ping the IP, but not the hostname. No SSH (refused) and other servicby cdlenfert - Debian
I suppose it's possible it could be a failing drive, It's a used laptop drive thrown in a cheap external enclosure. I've never really put it to the test. The problem is really inconsistent. When I've had thumb drives that fail, they seem to go pretty quickly. I'll keep the rootfs drive in mind though as a possible culprit. Thanks for the idea.by cdlenfert - Debian
Thank you! We'll see if I capture anything in the log the next time I come across this issue. If not I'll likely set up a serial connection. cat /var/log/messages Jan 23 19:28:34 Pogoplug syslog.info syslogd started: BusyBox v1.22.1by cdlenfert - Debian
Thanks! I'll try to do dmesg the next time I notice freezing or lagginess, but so far it's already past the point of me running any command or even connecting via ssh. I also don't have either of those logs. Is there something I need to do to get them to be created?by cdlenfert - Debian
I've been somewhat consistently having issues on my PogoPlug E-02 running Debian 9 (Stretch). I say somewhat because I'm not exactly sure how frequently this happens, but I'd guess once or twice a month, but maybe more. The issue I'm experience seems to be the system as a whole locking up, freezing, or becoming partially inaccessible. If I'm using a program like forkedby cdlenfert - Debian
I just updated the linux kernel for my Pogoplug E-02 box and I'm not sure if I've done an apt-get upgrade and rebooted or not since updating the kernel, but after running the apt-get upgrade I got the following at the end. update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.19.0-kirkwood-tld-1 And these instructions from the rootfs install steps make me uncertain if I need to regeneratby cdlenfert - Debian
I created a how to post for the Pogoplug Pro. I've been running PiHole for over a week now with no issues. This installs version 4.1.1. https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,76234by cdlenfert - Off-Topic
Here I was able to run the latest version of PiHole on a Pogoplug Pro. The basic process is you run the automatic installer script, it eventually fails, you pick up the pieces from there.

I just got pi-hole up and running on my Pogoplug Pro. It was not an easy task for me, but others might find it easier. Short summary is you run the standard install script, then manually re-install FTL from source, then restart some services and boom! The Pogoplug Pro seems to handle running the latest version of pi-hole just fine. Uses about 19% of the available memory. I'm running shaiby cdlenfert - Off-Topic
I'll try out the udev rules. Looks easy enough to implement. I notice this will change where my drives are mounted. No big deal since a simple change to the smb.conf file should make external devices see them the same anyway.

thanks bodhi, that offers some hope I can stick with this format and it won't be too painful. I'll look out for that update. do your HFSplus drives not become read-only after an unexpected power loss, or during a reboot? That's the case for me.

I've got some hfsplus format drives connected to my Debian Stretch box. If I stop the Samba service and unmount the drives (via umount -a) and then reboot, everything comes back up working great.

There are more challenging ways, which involve buying discs and swapping to trick the PS2 into giving you access to the system, but the end goal is to get FreeMCboot on a memory card. I just bought one for $10 from a Reddit user on r/ps2. Check the sidebar on Reddit for all the guides you need if you take the manual approach or once you have a card.

Close enough? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0Pzp5Q3Ov4 He uses OpenMediaVault on a Raspberry Pi, but only to get a GUI to create the Samba shares.

Yeah, but they do play PS1 and PS2 games :) I'm using my Slim with a FreeMCBoot memory card and loading/playing games off an external HDD connected to a PogoPlug running an SMB share. It's a pretty cool setup to be able to play old PS2 games without ever changing out a disc. The FAT models can do all this off an internal hard drive.by cdlenfert - Off-Topic
