PogoPlug Pro - Discussion Thread

Ohh some misunderstanding here. my second post which edited was a pyload query.

The transmission query still remains. still figuring out how to run a system wide SOCKS proxy setting.
 
@distro I could give it a try, by the I am on Archlinux. please exaplain how ?

Also have run into an issue. I tried installing Tsocks to socksify my system. did it with a make -- install command which did not work

Then ran a pacman -S tsocks ... which messed up my ARM box and now I cannot ssh into my VPS gives me a "shell request failed on channel 2" when i try to forward the dynamic port to 8080.

So I did a pacman -Rn tsocks and delete the directory, not sure if it's done a clean uninstall...how do I check if any files remain ?

Hehehe.... Same story here. Even I don't know what shit I have installed from lighttpd to apache and it's so many dependencies. Lol. I am on arch too.

There's a command under archlinuxarm site/ package management. Look for a command which will identify pkgs not rqd on your system and then use auto remove command. It's similar to Debian but its pacman instead of apt-get.
For open Vpn use google to find the installation procedure. I haven't tried it, I have given up. I was trying for znc to go through my VPN but no joy.

@ubergeek : Connect both pendrives to another linux PC and just give the above command mentioned by @dinjo. Make sure you run it as root, not sudo etc.

@varkey @dinjo
I am getting an error with binary executables like "/bin/ls - cant execute binary files"
I get this error for all commands like "top" "ls" etc etc

Looks like my system has got cranky
How do I go abt re-installing archlinuxarm over the present install ? I think to start off with part with again Downloading the archlinuxarm tar ball and extracting it. Should that be okay ?

Lately, I have developed a liking for Debian. How do I go abt installing Debian over archlinuxarm ? Which step onwards ? I don't want to install Debian on the pogo ram, just on the USB like archlinuxarm.

^ Maybe a corrupt rootfs, not really sure.

Just download the latest ArchLinux rootfs and extract it to your pendrive and it should be back to normal.

Similar to ArchLinux rootfs, a debian rootfs is also available, which can be used to move to debian.
 
@varkey ; So, to move from arch to Debian, I download the Debian rootfs to /root and "tar -zxvf Debianrootfs.tar.gz" ?
And a reboot.

You need to connect the drive to another linux system or the rescue system and extract the files to the root of the drive not /root. Make sure you extract it as a root user else there may be permission problems.
 
varkey Thanks for the tip, I was able to extract the arch tar ball safely and the system is back to normal. I downloaded the debian tar ball from your site but debian needed the ext3 format and my usb was ext2 (for arch) and then if i re-format i will lose the data on my usb. Hence , didnt go for debian.

On the other hand, additional usbs dont get auto mounted in pogo, i had to find udid of new drive and then "mkdir /mnt/usbstick" and then mount it there. How to auto-mount additional new usb drives on pogo(arch) ?


Edit: I started samba, it started but gave this error "/etc/rc.d/samba: line 17: /bin/pidof: Permission denied"

From /etc/rc.d/samba ; these are line 16,17 and 18
Code: 
for d in ${SAMBA_DAEMONS[@]}; do
            PID=`pidof -o %PPID /usr/sbin/$d`
            [ -z "$PID" ] && /usr/sbin/$d -D

i ran samba as root, there shouldnt be any permission errors ??
