Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Linux + Squeezebox Server running off of a USB stick
If you have enough RAM to overlay a writable (and volatile) filesystem in ram over the readonly filesystem on the USB drive, to hold swap, and to give SBS and the OS enough normal RAM you should have a very fast system. I guess 4 GB begins to put you on the safe side (unless you,re running a headless/minimal OS). Could be much less, Touch only runs with 256MB or RAM AFAIK. There are kernel options at compile/runtime that will let you specify the way the Linux kernel manages RAM. On a desktop it will use up all RAM to cache old pages and fill the swap; on an embedded machine you'll try avoiding swap (or removing it) and discarding old pages quickly, as everything is in RAM anyway. I'm not up to speed on the embedded distributions. FreeNAS will work like that (and persist settings to the USB key, nice) but this is BSD with a web interface so you'd have to rely on a special package of SBS. Michael usually packages one. You could also look at Voyage Linux which is a Debian distro tweaked for embedded environments. Or go wild and use Debian's Live USB package to install a custom system on a USB key (probably the most work-intensive option). BTW, In this kind of setup you'd better not use hibernate ;) -- epoch1970 Daily dose delivered by: 3 SB Classic, 1 SB Boom iPeng (iPhone + iPad) SqueezeCenter 7.4.2 (Debian 5.0) with plugins: MusicIP Server Power Control by Gordon Harris WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Find cover art by bpa BBC iPlayer, SwitchPlayer by Triode PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple TrackStat, Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89100 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] How to downgrade from 7.6.0 on ubuntu with apt?
andyjj;644573 Wrote: How do I downgrade from 7.6.0 to 7.5.5 on Ubuntu (8.04 Server) that has *debian.slimdevices.com/ stable main* as an apt source? The only version in my apt cache is 7.6.0. (7.6.0 has lost my library and scanning always crashes after 300-500 files. I've even tried *apt-get remove --purge squeezeboxserver*, then manually locating and removing everything squeezeboxserver/squeezecenter related, and reinstalling squeezeboxserver 7.6.0 but scanning still does not work.) After removing squeezeboxserver again (but leaving all dependencies) I downloaded 7.5.5 and tried: DPKG -I SQUEEZEBOXSERVER_7.5.5_ALL.DEB but it's missing: LIBMYSQLCLIENT14-DEV | LIBMYSQLCLIENT15-DEV | LIBMYSQLCLIENT16-DEV I'm a bit stuck. Worth noting: the old squeezeboxserver (7.5.3 I think) used my existing MySql server instance and I assume my library is still in there intact as 7.6.0 seemed to use SQLite judging from the logging. I'm reluctant to point 7.6.0 to MySql in case it trashes it. Thanks, Andy. (also posted on Logitech forums) My personal advice would be to upgrade your server to 10.04 LTS as I believe all the dependencies will be Ok and you will get mysql sqlite upgrades. -- mudlark SB3CyrusDACXPreXvsESPAudio P09B Active filterNAP140+260ARhapsody, Avondale and Naim cable, Kubuntu Loony Lion servers, various boxes for storage.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Debian repository for arm (armel) architecture
Well I was hoping for some sort of reply... In the meantime I just figured out a workaround that so far seems to be working, at least for me. Hoping it may be useful for others, here it is. In your /etc/apt/sources.list add the following line: Code: deb [arch=i386] http://debian.slimdevices.com stable main The [arch=i386] is what accomplishes the trick. You can change stable to testing or unstable, according to your needs. -- sim909 sim909's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36685 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88303 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

The dependencies are fine for Ubuntu 8.04 as SBS 7.6.0 installed without problem (but the scanning was borked, which seems to be a common problem). Some dependencies were removed - probably when I purged squeezeboxserver - and dpkg doesn't install dependencies. In case it helps somebody I fixed it by looking in /var/log/dpkg.log and finding the packages that had been removed and reinstalling them: SUDO APT-GET INSTALL LIBC6-DEV LIBMYSQLCLIENT15-DEV LINUX-LIBC-DEV ZLIB1G-DEV then downloading and installing the .deb (version found in dpkg.log again): *sudo dpkg -i squeezeboxserver_7.5.3_all.deb* -- andyjj andyjj's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48565 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=89145 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
