This is pretty interesting... would you mind starting your own thread, to keep the direct pCP related questions separated.

His pCP startup screen showed " Starting Jivelite" Which can only happen if the Jivelite installed configuration variable is set. I rechecked the download code, That variable is only set with a successful download of jivelite.

[SlimDevices: Unix] [Howto] Bluetooth streaming to / from LMS (ALSA only / no PulseAudio)
Since I never saw the point of PulseAudio, I've set up Bluetooth streaming on a system without it. Surprisingly, this is actually very simple and works out of the box. Note that if you have PulseAudio installed, you may have to disable the bluez/PulseAudio/sound integration.

Hi Paul- Jivelite downloaded and worked fine when I tested it. A couple of points come to mind. 1. Jivelite requires a resizefs, then reloading. I think people could forget to come back and try again to load jivelite after resize. 2. Temporary problem with the download server. regards Greg Greg Erskine's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7403 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107223 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

This is where I stand. No changes to pCP code, although I think the
pcp-variable DEVICE could be changed to point to the NFS share exporting
the boot partition, and the resize2fs and LMS(?) cgis use hardcoded
references to /dev/mmcblk0p1.
As it is, the interface looks by and large ok, attempts to mount or
dismount /dev/mmcblk0p1 fail, but saving to it works. Of course saving
to tce (ex- mmcblk02) work.
Cmdline.txt has 2 special parameters:
Code:
nfsmount=172.17.71.10:/export/12345abc/TCE
nfsboot=172.17.71.10:/export/12345abc/BOOT:udp,vers=3,noatime
- nfsmount is a true TCLinux bootcode, this is processed in
/etc/init.d/tc-config. This export contains what's in "/dev/mmcblk0p2"
and gets mounted under /mnt/nfs. It should support the form
:: but the script only looks for some
special options (noping?) and doesn't apply generic ones, like udp.
- nfsboot is implemented in bootlocal.sh, in the same fashion as
tc-config. Except I apply the mount options... This export contains
what's in "/dev/mmcblk0p1", only for configuration changes, and is
mounted to /mnt/mmcblk0p1 to let pCP work (almost) normally. On the
server the export is bind-mounted to /tftp/12345abc to allow booting.
Here is bootlocal.sh:
Code:
tc@test:~$ cat /opt/bootlocal.sh
#!/bin/sh
# put other system startup commands here
GREEN="$(echo -e '\033[1;32m')"
echo
echo "${GREEN}Running bootlocal.sh..."
#pCPstart--
/home/tc/www/cgi-bin/do_rebootstuff.sh 2>&1 | tee -a /var/log/pcp_boot.log
#pCPstop--
# NFS mounting. See http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=19913.0
for i in `cat /proc/cmdline`; do
case $i in
nfsboot*)
# Allows to update pCP boot config over NFS
NFSBOOT=${i#*=}
BOOTMNT="/mnt/mmcblk0p1"
SERVER=$(echo $NFSBOOT | awk -F: '{ print $1 }')
DIR=$(echo $NFSBOOT | awk -F: '{ print $2 }')
OPTS=$(echo $NFSBOOT | awk -F: '{ print $3 }' | tr ',' ' ')
OPTS=$(echo defaults noauto nolock addr=${SERVER} ${OPTS} | tr ' ' ',')
echo "Creating directory ${BOOTMNT}"
sudo mkdir ${BOOTMNT} >/dev/null 2>&1
# pCP checks in fstab for device /dev/mmcblk itself so mounts fail...
# echo "Creating /etc/fstab entry for ${BOOTMNT} over NFS"
# ME="$0"
# sudo sh -c "cat << EOF >> /etc/fstab
## Added by $ME
#${SERVER}:${DIR} ${BOOTMNT} nfs ${OPTS} 0 0
#EOF
#"
# ... so instead we mount permanently as pCP won't mount/unmount
# if mounted already.
echo "Mounting ${SERVER}:${DIR} to ${BOOTMNT}"
sudo mount -t nfs -o ${OPTS} ${SERVER}:${DIR} ${BOOTMNT}
;;
nfsmount*)
# Keep pCP happy with a normal-looking SD mount
NFSMOUNT="/mnt/nfs"
TCEMNT="/mnt/mmcblk0p2"
echo "Creating directory ${TCEMNT}"
sudo mkdir ${TCEMNT} >/dev/null 2>&1
echo "Adding bind mount for ${TCEMNT}"
sudo mount -o bind ${NFSMOUNT} ${TCEMNT} >/dev/null 2>&1
;;
esac
done
As you see my 1st intent was to add an entry for /mnt/mmcblk0p1 in fstab
and let pCP do the mount/dismount as usual. However
pcp_mount_mmcblk0p1_nohtml was failing because it looks for
/dev/mmcblk0p1, not /mnt/mmcblk0p1 in /etc/fstab.
I don't know if the bind mount of /mnt/nfs to /mnt/mmcblk0p2 makes any
difference. I thought it wouldn't hurt.
As it is, it's a bit hackish but I think it is operational. There is no
extra network traffic to speak of, once the system has booted. I'd like
to check SQ and sync with a version of pCP/piCore that has recent
firmwares allowing to net boot out-of-the-box. Would 3.20-beta be a
candidate?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.20 Beta
I am having a problem with vanilla version of 3.20. System is a Pi 2B/IQAudio DAC+ and I am currently running a wired connection. PCP appears to load correctly and I can access the web GUI without any problem. I have selected the correct output, Squeezelite is running and I can play music. The problem is with the display (official Raspberry Pi touch screen). The last output I get is: Starting Jivelite .. Done. crond syncing time crond [631] time disparity of xxx minutes detected The display hangs at this point. The time zone is set to ECT5. This is correct for my location, Ecuador, and the bar at the bottom of the web GUI is showing the correct date and time.
