[Voyage-linux] building a custom Voyage Linux installer for PCEngines APU2
Hello List, I am trying to build a custom installer for putting Voyage onto a PCEngines APU2 (apu3c2 or apu3c4 I believe). I have chosen as my starting point just building a basic Voyage installer with no changes. I think the build process is working but the resulting installer will not boot my APU2. To more completely describe the situation, I can boot the APU2 as far as the boot selection screen but when I choose any of those initial options, the system hangs. What am I doing wrong? I am sure you need more details but I am not sure what those details would be. So please ask me questions and I will answer.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Will an MQA decoder become available in Voyage MPD ??
Cor and everyone, MQA is patented closed source and the decoding technology must be licensed from its creators. Just when we have a great selection of music in open formats without any kind of restriction on the decoding, and a great selection of players that can play those open formats. Effectively MQA is DRM. If you don't have a licensed decoder you can't get the full benefit. What a disappointment. Please don't support MQA.

OK so to confirm that I understand correctly: 6 days per week the computer starts up, writes its log files, and shuts down correctly. 1 day per week the computer starts up, does not appear to write its log files, and hangs up. Is that correct? If so, have you examined the log files on "the bad day" while the computer is running? Are you running the computer with a read-only root and using /tmp for storing /var while running? And expecting the shutdown process to copy the files in /tmp back to /var? If so, that may be why your files appear not to be written - because they are not copied back on shutdown. ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux

Good people, I am running Mubox on a cubox-i4. A great music player, really. One small problem I have...

Apologies in advance if this is a silly question... most of the time I am an Ubuntu desktop user and debian in general, and voyage in particular, seem to have some important differences that I don't understand. For those of us already running Voyage Linux (in my case, a mubox installation performed last spring with the 3.14 kernel), will we automatically get these updates, or do we need to (should we) do a dist-upgrade? The 3.14 kernel I am running on my CuBox-i4 makes me a bit nervous as I don't quite get how it got into the image I installed...

[Voyage-linux] fixing locales issue
Good people; This morning I decided to chase down and fix the errors I get regarding locales on voyage. This is the classic example of a problem with a lot of heat but not much light. Anyway, after reading a lot of different posts on the topic, including a sequence on this list in January past, I solved the problem. First, the system must be writeable, so remountrw Then, I had to install the full locales package apt-get install locales-all Then I tried to reconfigure but with out a /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED file that didn't work, so I did this: echo en_CA.UTF-8 > /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED dpkg-reconfigure locales That worked! no more LC_* error messages from anything. Finally, since I did not need a full set of locales, I did this: apt-get install localepurge localepurge And made the system read only remountro That's it! I hope this helps others on this list... -- Chris Hermansen · clhermansen "at" gmail "dot" com C'est ma façon de parler. ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux

Are you sure the IP address is correct? If you don't get a response from your attempt to login via ssh, it's possible that the service hasn't started. This could be for all kinds of reasons - it could be misconfigured, or something else could be preventing it from running.

Re: [Voyage-linux] CuBox-i4, esata, kernel 3.14 - problems writing files?
Yesterday I bought another hi-res download and decided to try copying it
over, one file at a time, with a break between each file.
This seemed to work fine, no messages in syslog nor any other hiccups.
So I remain puzzled about the behaviour below. Once again, if anyone can
offer ideas on how to diagnose it further, I would be very grateful!
Thanks!

[Voyage-linux] kernel 3.14.4 is not latest?
Good people; I continue to try to understand why I cannot write successfully to my esata drive on my cubox-i4. I would like to try the 3.14.4 kernel. However i notice that http://www2.voyage.hk/download/voyage-mubox/cubox-i/kernel-cubox-i-latest.tar.xz has the same date as the 3.14.0 kernel (31 March 2014).

Good people; Today I ran fsck on my external 1TB music drive (formatted as ext2) and this is what happened: root@voyage-mubox:~# fsck /dev/sda1 fsck from util-linux 2.20.1 e2fsck 1.42.5 (29-Jul-2012) /dev/sda1 was not cleanly unmounted, check forced.

I am guessing that this may be due to limited real memory in the CuBox-i4 and no swap. Anyone think that is reasonable? I am also thinking that this is not a Really Good Thing ie I want to be able to run fsck on this device from time to time. Now if I can't get it through the way things are, I can connect it to my Ubuntu laptop, run fsck, then reconnect it to the CuBox-i4. But I don't feel like this is a good long-term plan.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Is Marvell Sheeva CPU OK for Linux Voyage? Is there a good little motherboard?
Denis, Marvell Sheeva CPU core is ARM architecture while Voyage Linux is available for the i386 and amd64 architectures.

[Voyage-linux] Dependency booting and remountro
I was having some problems with dependency booting starting init scripts in incorrect sequence as related to voyage-sync. Specifically, dhclient was able to open its PID and leases files before voyage-sync completed setting up the tmpfs directories and then remountro would fail producing the error " / is busy." I worked around this by disabling dependency-based boot sequencing. Here is the relevant excerpt from Debian's release notes. http://www.debian.org/releases/squeeze/i386/release-notes/ch-whats-new.en.html#dependency-boot 2.1.4. Dependency booting An important improvement in the Debian GNU/Linux boot system is the introduction of dependency-based boot sequencing and parallel boot. This feature is enabled by default in new installs and it will be enabled for upgrades from lenny, if possible. This feature is enabled through the use of insserv by sysv-rc to order init.d scripts based on their declared dependencies[3]. It has been possible after a sustained effort to adapt all the boot scripts of packages provided in the distribution as well as the boot system itself. With dependency-based boot sequencing it is also now possible to run the boot system scripts in parallel which can, under most circumstances, improve the speed of the boot process. This feature is enabled by default, in new systems and upgrades, whenever possible. To disable it specify CONCURRENCY=none in /etc/default/rcS. For more information on this feature refer to the information available in /usr/share/doc/insserv/README.Debian. ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux

When I go into the directory where the image is, the sys directory is there but empty. Any suggestions?

[Voyage-linux] Cron job disappearing after reboot/powerdown
Good morning all, I am suspecting that it has to do with the ro and rw thing. I had scheduled a cron job to execute every minute. When I reboot/pull the plug and it reboots, the job is gone. Is there a trick for the cron job to reappear after reboot/powerdown? Thanks! cp. ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux

[Voyage-linux] setting the default gateway
Hi all, I am trying to set the default gateway using route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0 After I either reboot or pull the power, reboot and do a route, the route that I entered above is not there. I tried the remountrw - command - remountro and still does the same. Any tips?

[Voyage-linux] Hardware clock setting
Good afternoon all, I am trying to set the time on an ALIX box using Voyage. I can set the time using the date command but when I reboot (or the box is powered off) the time doesn't stick. I have tried it with the remountrw and remountro. Is there something that I'm missing?

[Voyage-linux] snmpd - ifSpeed incorrect
Hi all, I am running Voyage on a ALIX 2C0 box. When I do an SNMP query on the ifSpeed of the interfaces, they all show that they are 10 MBps. When I go to the switch that it is connected to it shows that it is at 100 MBps. I had looked on the ALIX and it shows 100 Mbps. Any thoughts?

[Voyage-linux] SNMP won't work
Hi all, I am trying to put SNMP on. I am able to do a snmpwalk -v 1 -c public 127.0.0.1 . But when I go to another machine and do a snmpwalk -v 1 -c public it doesn't respond.

able to remountro without error. I do not understand why but maybe this has
fixed this?Cheers, Chris

[Voyage-linux] How does RO/RW Filesystem work?
Hi, to enable me to install packages and make symbolic links in the right places, would anyone be kind enough to clarify how the read only, read write file system works? I have seen snippets in previous mailing list conversations: "The /ro directory is copied in the boot process to the /rw system which lives in a TMPFS structure, so, no power, no more bits." However checking /ro/etc/ on my box: route-hq:/etc# ls -ln /ro/etctotal 20-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 44 Feb 17 00:22 adjtime-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 28 Oct 28 2006 issue-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 21 Oct 28 2006 issue.net-rw-r--r-- 1 0 00 Feb 29 14:49 mtab~drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 Feb 29 14:49 network-rw-r--r-- 1 0 0 53 Jul 28 2007 resolv.conf and comparing with /etc/ i know /etc/ has a lot more files in it, so i don't understand or i cannot see how these files are getting copied from as they certainly don't seem to be coming from the /ro directory. Also, looking at the scripts remountro and remountrw i see a binary called sync is called, is this a custom written application? Does it search the /rw file system for changes and write to /ro?

RE: [Voyage-linux] Shorewall Read Only /var/lib/shorewall/ problem
Hi Wayne, Thanks for the fast reply. I did try that already, i created the symbolic link following the readme. I tried the following: #remountrw #mv /var/lib/shorewal /ro/var/lib/shorewall #ln -s /rw//var/lib/shorewall /var/lib/shorewall#remountro The problem is whenever i went #shorewall start, it would say files already exist. Would appreciate any guideance on the above, im sure i am making a mistake as i dont understand the above. I presume anything in /ro gets copied to the root file system, and anything in /rw/ allows the directory to be written to in the root file system? Again not so sure so would appreciate a little explanation if anyone has time. In fact i am interested in the whole rw/ro setup so links for my reading on how it all works would be appreciated.Regarding the speed issue I have also tried arnos iptables script, that apt-get installed fine and no issues with RO directories. Would that be as secure? I chose Shorewall over Arnos script as it seemed to have more features but it is quite a lot more involved. I do plan to use OpenVPN also to link sites so Shorewall would be better imho. I am running on 1GHz boxes, i would hope Shorewall wouldnt slow it down that much on a reasonably powerful dedicated box?Many thanks for the help its very much appreciated, been pulling my hair out all day!

[Voyage-linux] Java Runtime on a WRAP
This question has probably been asked a 1000 times but being a newbie . Can Java Runtime be run on a Wrap running Voyage? There is a few postings on installing Java on Debian Sarge but it all seems to involve starting from the .bin and building a deb package using fakeroot and java-package. I cannot manage to get java-package in any of my sources.list entries. Will this run on the Wrap? Is there any information specific to installing Java on the WRAP? chris ___ Voyage-linux mailing list Voyage-linux@list.voyage.hk http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
