PogoPlug Pro - Discussion Thread

[manu1991]

Finally got Flexget to work. Now I have a completely automated solution.

The TV shows I watch are automatically found and the torrent file downloaded to a directory by flexget.

Then transmission watches that directory and adds torrents from it and downloads them.

miniDLNA then shares those files over UPnP.

I can then switch on my media player connected to LAN and my TV and watch the tv show.

profit.

i'm on debian. used archlinux for a day only. i do have a tar backup. its of july 2012. might be of 2.6 kernel. its 154MB and i have used up all my data allowance this month. i can only upload it at night.

CRC32	3e24d415
MD5	767a8daf7b6f04942aee21d0e3865675

i've seen a 154MB file on Archlinux site dated aug 2012. did you download that file and try?

edit: my backup is of kirkwood kernel.

@Dingo - You need it for OXNAS Pogoplug Pro right?

As @6pack posted above, its available on ArchLinux site -- Index of /os/oxnas/

 

[dinjo]

@varkey - yes its OXNAS

Problem with that is being built on old kernel and if i do a full upgrade which i have to since Glib has been updated it would force to update kernel and the current scripts at arch linux is quite poorly documented and have seen people running with serial cable after they tried the upgrade.

@dinjo

if you still need it lemme know ill upload it some where when i get home

 

[dinjo]

Yes @varkey would i need whole / or only specific parts of it ?

 

[dinjo]

Seems like debian tarball is not working after some modules were changed referring to below post

My pogoplug pro gets stuck after some time i couldn't access to device using ssh. I'm only running samba,transmission and minidlna. Strange thing is device responds to ping but ssh won't work.Only way to get device accessible is to reboot the device

I already enabled the Swap what should i do to avoid Pogoplug pro getting stuck

 

[Nalin]

I have just received the pogoplug today, now i just want to know that on the box it has mentioned P21 and on the base of the model itself it's written E02

Now which one is better between the two... i want to install archlinux on it to use it as a 24/7 downloader and more

I have came across these 2 links

Pogoplug v2 (Pink/Gray) | Arch Linux ARM
Pogoplug Pro/Video/v3 | Arch Linux ARM

varkey need help

 

[varkey]

@Nalin : You have the E02 ie Kirkwood based, so follow -- Pogoplug v2 (Pink/Gray) | Arch Linux ARM

If you let the device connect to the internet, it will disable SSH access, the default password no longer works.

How do I enable SSH? : Pogoplug Help Center

I have already enabled SSH in the settings and also assigned the different password but still no success again it asks for password and access denied

Alright i have successfully installed archlinux after following these 2 guides :

Pogoplug v2 (Pink/Gray) | Arch Linux ARM

Turn a Pogoplug into a Fully-Featured Linux Web Server - YouTube

Now it come shows "alarm" under my router's DHCP client list also it shows as root@alarm in shell and there is a solid orange led light instead of green light

uname -a

Linux alarm 3.1.10-13-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Mon Aug 20 15:46:18 UTC 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux

 

[varkey]

@Nalin : Yes, looking good!

 

[Nalin]

Nalin : Yes, looking good!

Thanks for the help

but i can't able to update package files, also do i need to plug in the pen drive in the port all time or now i can remove it after installing linux ?

 

[varkey]

Nalin : I don't use ArchLinux, so not sure of the exact steps for that, but yes you need to have the pendrive plugged in at all times.

 

[Nalin]

@varkey : So does that mean pogoplug boots from the pen drive each time , also can i use the leftover space for downloading or it just contains default system files

Sorry for my silly questions i am a budding linux noob :ashamed:
