Have you seen this wiki document that I wrote? It should explain some 
things to you. This may be your issue.

Re: [Voyage-linux] LEDs, APT repository, MySQL in RAM questions

2010-06-25 Thread Sean

Andreas,

1. You can use a german mirror site for the main debian mirror:

http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian lenny main contrib


The custom repository needs to be there with the main debian mirror. It 
only has additional custom packages related to voyage.


2. I'm not sure about the Missing Packages (adjtimex) on hk.debian.org. 
Maybe try the German mirror?


3. You can put that command line in /etc/rc.local. It will run on every 
boot.

Hi all,

first of all: I'm happy I found Voyage Linux. Before, I've tried
imedialinux and I must say they might just delete their website as it
is completely abandoned and PCEngines should better not point to that
flavor of Linux at all IMHO. It has many bugs and gave me hours of
frustration.

However, some questions remain - please pardon if they are FAQs for
Deban users, but I think they might be interesting for other beginners
too.

1. APT sources

What other APT repositories than the taiwanese in
/etc/apt/sources.list (http://ftp.tw.debian.org/debian lenny main
contrib) can I use when living in Germany? Is it enough to keep the
custom repository http://www.voyage.hl/dists/0.6 ./ ? Are you sure
that stuff does not get mixed up?

2. Missing Packages (adjtimex) on hk.debian.org

The current taiwanese repository does not contain adjtimex package.
Seems the only way to me to tune the very unprecise internal clock
speed without ntpdate'ing every hour (which could carry sideeffects)

Can I add a second source in sources.list and will the package
versions be mixed up then?

3. Heartbeat, LEDs

When I was booting Voyage Linux for the first time, heartbeat LED etc.
are working - but disappear after a reboot (only LED 1 is ON). I
manage to start them again via

echo heartbeat /sys/class/leds/alix:1/trigger

etc but what is the best way to make this permanent?

4. MySQL database in RAM

I'll use the ALIX board with mysql / lighttpd and php5, which works
fine. I followed this guide:

http://www.howtoforge.com/installing-lighttpd-with-php5-and-mysql-support-on-debian-lenny

Now I am unsure whether I should move the /var/lib/mysql folder to the
rw / ro mechanism so writing to the DB does not spoil the flash so
fast. Does anyone have experiences on wearout when using a 4 GByte
flash for about 500 MByte? My database is about 50 MB and will reach
100 MB. If I reserve 100 of 256 MByte for MySQL, maybe the RAM is not
enough for the functioning of the rest of applications?

5. Turn off unused services

If I have a static IP adress - is it safe to turn off dnsmasq?

Is it safe to turn these services off (tcp:53, tcp:68, tcp:1723,
tcp:111) when I only want to offer MySQL and http (and ssh) services?
How can I do it safely?

Sorry for asking so many questions but I guess that they might be easy
ones for experienced users..

Thanks a lot!

I would use the same kernel config as voyage, just do a make oldconfig

Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think there are any kernel

Re: [Voyage-linux] Newbie question about initial Voyage install.

2009-11-14 Thread Sean

What would you like to do?
 1 - Specify Distribution Directory
 2 - Select Target Profile
 3 - Select Target Disk
 4 - Select Target Bootstrap Loader
 5 - Configure Target Console
 6 - Copy Distribution to Target
 7 - Exit
  (default=5 [Configure Target Console]):

Select terminal type:
 1 - Serial Terminal
 2 - Console Interface
  (default=1 [Serial Terminal]):

The Console Interface is for a VGA monitor if your hardware has that. 
The Serial Terminal is for a serial (rs-232) port. This puts your 
interactive console (i.e. login screen) onto the specified device. 
You'll need to change your grub menu.1st file and take out the serial 
console stuff. That is where it is controlled. Without a console if 
networking does not work you won't be able to log in. Best practice in 
this situation would be to write the ip address onto the case.

Which choice allows me to use my serial port for connecting a device

Re: [Voyage-linux] ALi M5281 Serial ATA / RAID host controller

You need to recompile the kernel with that option set. Probably set as Y 
for yes, and not Module. If you make it Yes then you can boot off of it. 
The Y is needed for the initrd image I think.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Re: check/repair fs

2009-06-23 Thread Sean
If you're writing to a CF card, your filesystem can break. Your CF card 
sectors can wear out. Then the CF card marks them as bad blocks and it 
will show the filesystem as being used up. Don't write to a CF card very 
often.

Hello Raimund,

Thanks for all your input so far, I greatly appreciate it! I tried to mount
the partition a second time however it won't let me, just complains that
it's busy.

voyage:~# mount -t ext2 -r /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS /mnt
mount: /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS already mounted or /mnt busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS is mounted on /




Actually, you should be creating a mount point under /mnt, using mnt as
a mount point is a bad, bad idea.  mkdir a new directory then try
mounting that.  Also, instead of -r, try -o ro

  

I'm also not keen to run the e2fsck just yet as I get a horrible warning at
the start telling me not to do this on a mounted FS. Is there any way to
have fsck run on the next reboot before the fs is mounted and make any
repairs it needs to?



tune2fs -c 1 -C 1 /dev/hda1
- -c = max mount count
- -C = mount count

Then reboot.  I am assuming that you have serial access to the device
remotely?  I would reboot once without running the previous command,
just to make sure it reboots.

If you don't have serial access, I would replace the device in the field
and work on this in the lab.  If there is something wrong with the file
system, you might not be able to boot again.

I’ve got a system which went down here, when getting it back up and

mounted. Is there any way to ensure a check/repair next time the

Otherwise, is there any good way to find what is eating all my disk

Re: [Voyage-linux] Install experimental package from git repository

2009-05-11 Thread Sean
You're right in that it would be easiest to do the compilation on a 
desktop machine. Voyage 0.6.x is based on Debian Lenny (5.0), so it is 
easiest if you get a machine set up with that. It could be a virtual 
machine if you know how to do that.


You'll need to download the development packages and libraries needed to 
compile mpd. Something like this would do the trick:


apt-get build-dep mpd

Hi,

I have installed voyage 0.6.1 to my Alix 2D2 machine with the intent of running

features of mpd that are still in beta (experimental.)

The mpd version I need is available in a git repository.  I started by 
installing
git-core on the Alix, but quickly realised that I'd need to install quite a lot
of dependent packages in order to compile mpd on the Alix.  Maybe I shouldn't be
compiling on the Alix, but on a desktop machine and then install the binaries to
the Alix...

What's the best way to proceed with this?  Can someone suggest some reading?

Voyage is for i386 processors only right now. I'm not sure how one would

Re: [Voyage-linux] Voyage 0.5.2 ndiswrapper driver

The wiki has a great writeup. It's so easy!

FYI the ndiswrapper is already built. I don't think the 
linux-kernel-headers are built so you may have to build the kernel.

What you really want is ifplugd.

apt-get ifplugd. Be sure to edit the /etc/defaults/ifplugd file, and add 
your ethernet device to INTERFACES.


ifplugd is a daemon which will automatically configure your ethernet 
device when a cable is plugged in and automatically unconfigure it if 
the cable is pulled. This is useful on laptops with on-board network 
adapters, since it will only configure the interface when a cable is 
really connected.

If the cable to this router is not pluged in the connection fails.

Is it possible to plug in the cable later an then Voyage Linux automatically 
searches for a DHCP router again?

Re: [Voyage-linux] sshd in voyage 5.2

2009-03-23 Thread Sean

In Voyage 0.5.2,

/var/run is symbolically linked to /rw/var/run

At boot everything in /ro gets copied to /rw (/rw being in memory).

You can edit your files in /ro/var/run/sshd. Then on boot they get 
copied over.


You can just edit them on your voyage install directory too: 
voyage-0.5.2/ro/var/run/sshd


Hope that helps

so that sshd can start, but this requires that I access the
machine via the console after the initial boot. I want an
image that I can ssh to immediately, without having to

It happens if you install to media as a normal user. Use the Voyage

root if I recall correctly.


I'm fairly certain I ran the script as root...yes, I just checked

Re: [Voyage-linux] Performance issue w/ALIX and 2 radios

It could be radio noise in the box, even though you may be using different 
channels.
It could also be cpu. What percentage does your cpu get up to in top while 
running the tests? It would also be good to find out how much the minipci

Subject: [Voyage-linux] Performance issue w/ALIX and 2 radios
Sent: Feb 22, 2009 7:27 AM

I have an ALIX with 2 Wistron DCMA-82 radios running Voyage 0.5.2 fully 
upgraded.  Ath0 is a production backhaul and at the time of testing 
(this morning) was averaging about 5-8mbs.   The plan was to have ath1 
also carry backhaul traffic for increased capacity (and possible bonding 
later on).  The other end of the two links are separate systems mounted 
less than 1m a part at about 7300m - perfect LOS.

Testing the second (new) ath1 link with iperf I'm able to get right at 
30mbs.  However, during the iperf test on ath1, ath0 data rate drops 
from the 5-8mbs to a few,  20, kbs returning back to its previous rate 
immediately after iperf terminates. Top also shows ksoftirqd/0 going 
from 0% to 70%+ during the 10s iperf.

Running iperf on ath0 consistently returns numbers indicting the free 
overhead above the base traffic level.

Running iperf -s on the board and hitting it on the ethernet side also 
all but stops the input on ath0 during the run.

I had hoped to have the two radios happily handle 25+ mbs in parallel 
and route out the 100mbs ethernet port but am convinced this will not 
work as hoped.

Has anyone run two radios at full capacity simultaneously on other 
hardware?  Would this be a kernel or driver issue?  In the short term, I 
will mount another ALIX system with a single radio but would dearly love 
to make the above arrangement work.

Regards,

Edwin

I am not sure why it wouldn't work. So the same settings for

trying WPA-TKIP? Can you paste your wpa_supplicant settings?

Re: [Voyage-linux] Re: Size matters

2008-10-30 Thread Sean
Voyage gives a good base install without a lot of fluff. If you want more 
features, it's easy to add. It fits on 128 MB. There is something to be said 
about it being small - it fits on people's hardware setups that have 128MB CF 
cards. That way they can upgrade without replacing the CF.

I have tried webmin on voyage, (php5 and lighthttpd) but the problem is that 
webmin doesn't save the settings to /etc/network/interfaces. So it is only 
mildly useful.

For the framework I downloaded a tar in 
http://voyage.hk/download/nightly/voyage-custom/ There are good examples there. 
I copied the mesh directory and modified that.

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your feedback. 

I am not talking about the webgui itself, but we should also take its 
dependent libraries into account as well.  If running webgui requires 
apache, database backend, php/perl/python modules, php/perl/python 
run-time and a lot external libraries like xml, xsdl, webdav, etc., this 
against the approach of being small.

You can still install webmin, etc. on top of voyage, as long as the CF 
could hold.

busybox is added because of  live-initramfs.  (being added by 
debian-live in the build process - not yet figured out how to remove it)
wget is added because this is frequently used utility ( I use it to 
download .deb kernel image and do dpkg -i for testing)

There is constraint that Voyage can't be smaller - its the package 
dependency in Debian that I don't want to break.  Voyage is just trying 
to be a smaller Debian.  Hence, you enjoy both having a smaller Debian 
and thousands of installable Debian packages at the same time.

Regards,
Punky

 I agree in principle, but I note that 1 gig CF cards are now USD 11,
 which puts them in reach of all but the most cost-sensitive
 applications. An ALIX 2c2 with case and 1gig CF is USD 125 + 9 + 11 =
 145. The CF card makes up 7% of the parts cost.

 I agree that the default install of Voyage should stay small, small,
 small (it's actually already too big for my tastes -- why does it have
 busybox AND wget, for example?). I'm looking for the right choice of
 what bigger packages to add to my base install as I've already
 budgeted for the larger CF.

 I'm going to investigate webmin today. I know it has the kitchen-sink
 approach, but I'm wondering if maybe I can get the kind of control I
 want, and turn off the things I don't want.

Re: [Voyage-linux] Modify Fstab

2008-10-14 Thread Sean

Varadarajan,

What I did to solve the home directory read only issue was to do these 
steps:


1. as root, remountrw.
2. log in as your unprivileged user.
3. get things set up the way you would like them.
4. log out from the unprivileged user.
5. log in as root.
6. cp -a /home/username /ro/username
7. rm -rf /home/username
8. ln -s /rw/username /home/username
9. restart

When the computer boots, /ro is copied to /rw in a memory filesystem. 
Now your user has a read-write home directory. Of course the contents of 
the home directory will be lost on poweroff. But you may want this in a 
kiosk situation.


If you want to keep the home directory then you will need to create a 
second rw partition. Then symbolically link the directory like I did in 
step 8.


Hope this helps!

Re: [Voyage-linux] apt-get update timeout!

2008-10-08 Thread Sean
I had trouble with that server as well. So I use the US repositories.
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian etch main
But then again, I am in the US, so it makes more sense for me.

Try a different mirror. http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
Put them in your /etc/apt/sources.list

Re: [Voyage-linux] ssh takes a long time

2008-10-08 Thread Sean
It could be netwoking issues. Basic connectivity or problems with reverse dns 
lookups. Also it could be a heavily loaded machine and so it's not able tob get 
back to you in time.

Hi! I am having trouble ssh-ing my voyage machine. ssh works fine, but  
before I am able to login, I have to try several times, getting a  
ssh: connect to host 140.105.28.81 port 22: Operation timed out  
error. At the end it works fine. Any idea?

Best,
Marco

[Voyage-linux] voyage with lighttpd

2008-10-03 Thread Sean
Hi, the instructions for getting thttpd working don't work anymore. 
Since php support is difficult to get in a modern version of thttpd, I 
went with lighthttpd. PHP support is built in, no fuss, nice deb 
packages, etc.


I updated the wiki. Wifiadmin instructions coming next. Enjoy!

[Voyage-linux] Best way to install local deb packages in the customization framework

2008-09-19 Thread Sean

Hi,

Thanks for all your hard work, Voyage is really great!

I'm using the customization framework to automate Voyage customizations. 
I have some local deb packages that I would like to install. They are 
kernel modules right now, but later I want to do application packages.


What is the best way to install these? I see the kernel.conf file, and 
looking at the voyage-custom.sh script, it looks like I can just add my 
kernel modules to MODULE_DEB and put them in the files directory.


Would I specify the kernel modules like this?

MODULE_DEB=\
   module1.deb module2.deb module3.deb \
   module4.deb module5.deb \
   

How would I go about installing the application packages? It seems like 
I could put them in MODULES_DEB, but that seems like the wrong place 
semantically.


Any thoughts?

Sean
