Re: Pogo V3 Pro internal Dual SD Card (USB 2.0) using mPCIe slot - 3 years ago
Hi bodhi, after upgrading this system to debian bullseye, its been running strong with no issues!! I also made a new backup of the system so if the sd card dies I am in good shape, this will be a big test on how long a micro sd card can run this:)by echowarrior108 - uBoot

Hi bodhi, I used the instructions from github,https://github.com/oblique/create_ap first install the following if not installed: apt install dnsmasq apt install hostapd apt install haveged Installation Generic git clone https://github.com/oblique/create_ap cd create_ap make install there is a readme file there which is helpful.

Hi bodhi, run new kernel on this device, to differentiate from my original plug I will name it device 2, keep in mid I have done this from a fresh install so all of the above workarounds are still in place, When I get more time I will do a frsh install and see what I need to add.

Re: How To: Create an 802.11n AP (Access Point) w/ Debian on a Dockstar/Pogoplug/kirkwood device - 3 years ago
After properly installing the usb wifi ( https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,92749 ) I found out that I could use the create_ap program which works really well! I am running it from my internal pci below and broadcasting from my usb below also: create_ap wlxb wlp0s0 wifiname wifipassword or create_ap -g 192.168.5.1 wlxb wlp0s0 wifiname wifipassword ( if you want to assign your own ip)by echowarrior108 - Debian
Re: Installing module rtl88x2bu for 1200ac usb wifi - 3 years ago
Thanks!! sure will try, I also wanted to build a from scratch spare usb and I can do it on that:) I did as well get the plug to work as an AP using create_ap which works very good. I will post that on the wifi ap post as it appears to be a really nice setup and is working really well !!

Installing module rtl88x2bu for 1200ac usb wifi - 3 years ago
This is my workaround for installing rtl88x2bu module for 1200ac usb wifi, I had a difficult time and days of searches to make it work and since no one else made a finished what to do if this happens list for it I kept notes:) I won't go into all the errors that prompted all of the edits as I would need to do a fresh install and to be honest who wants to do such a thing twice? to starby echowarrior108 - Debian
Re: How To: Create an 802.11n AP (Access Point) w/ Debian on a Dockstar/Pogoplug/kirkwood device - 3 years ago
I rebooted 3 more times and it appears to have cleared up, what was strange was it came back after a full format and reinstall. I had to do a lot to install rtl88x2bu module , simply because I have not installed modules before so it was a challenge but its not my main plug so I don't mind starting over. but you are right about a hobby becoming a job:) I had to walk away for a few , my plby echowarrior108 - Debian

I know this is an old thread but i have 3 pogoplug-pro v3 's, one for a daily use unit and one for messing with (which now I want to use as an AP) and the other for parts, (not many parts but its still operational,lol) well I wanted to try this out with a wireless access point and instead of using the instructions listed I used network-manager over my vnc connection, for some reason I have 2by echowarrior108 - Debian

Re: [tutorial] Making a RAID1 rootfs - 4 years ago
Pogoplug-pro v3, Just a quick note pertaining to the raid configuration on my machine, I failed to label the two identical looking raid 5 tb usb drives, for some reason I must have plugged then into the wrong slots and it made them both show empty, I did check them on my ubuntu machine and found them not empty and then labelled each one to the slots that I were correct, I do not know if this wasby echowarrior108 - Debian

Well its been over 6 months with this setup, I haven't made any changes on this plug and its been running full time with no hick-ups. Been using another plug to experiment with but nothing noteworthy. currently on this plug I am running 2 5tb usb hdd's on raid on my home network.

Re: Unbrick a Pogoplug Pro (v3/OXNAS?) - 4 years ago
@Chuck99, can you get to the Oxnas prompt on the none working one? and yes you can copy the working PPP usb but I would recommend using the same size usb drive to DD to copy your system, preferably a Sandisk 16gb. I have had a lot of luck doing this with my second PPP (pogoplug pro) Echowarrior108by echowarrior108 - uBoot
Re: Pogoplug Pro Boot issues, maybe bricked? - 5 years ago
What I did to dd the drives was to use ubuntu terminal and mount the drives to my pc to copy, I believe that the drive sizes might have to be equal but it may only be a partition size , not really sure , I only copied mine to micro sd cards from the usb flash drive and made 3 just in case and it did work great... But I am assuming you are using the port for your wifi so my configuration would beby echowarrior108 - uBoot

Thanks veriqster, I have several save router power supplies that are 12v/2amp so in case my power supply ever goes out I have a reason to save those in a box:) Also I was wondering about spinup time for the SATA, I had some initial issues using mine when Bodhi helped me get mine from the brink of death and the SATA saved my butt.....
