SqueezePlug -The Best And "Green" SqueezeBox-Server!

[truehl]

I tried both fat32 and ntfs and I couldn't get either way to work. I have switched a few times each today and yesterday. And I put a few files on the drive so it's not empty. It would be cool if others are able to do it, then I realize it's me and I'll keep at it. But it could be me and it could be something in the image that is not right. That is why I was hoping someone else also put your tonido image on hard drive like I did.
The image works on stick and squeezebox works. And the hard drive 1st partition works, but , we are missing something on mounting the second partition on the drive.
Do you think it would be some package is missing? That does mount partitions? I don't know. Or is there another program I could use to test it? Does any line from the ubuntu info on fstab help you. I tried to give you the info from the way tonido did it, figured you could compare them and maybe spot something.

Hi Richman,
I tried it from webmin with ntfs and fat32. ntfs did'nt work with the same errors you reported. Bat fat2 worked fine. Please remember to create a partion, create a file-system on that partition and mount it. If you still have no success, we should skype or icq ore something like that. Where do you live? Please lets figure the rest out by personal mail.

Hi folks!
The Scanner works for the first time!

Take a look at the picture. The performance is amazing!!!

Good night

Just tried the latest beta - same problem as before: The initial scan never finished, the second line was never displayed.

After abort, it didn't start and on the third time it went further and is still scanning right now.

I can't seem to spot any logic behind this, you'll have to start the scan at least 3 times to get a full scan completed. And once you do a rescan for new and changed, it usually screws up again.

Last time he alarm fade-in was broken with 7.60 - I wonder if it's fixed right now.

Thomas!
Thanks for hanging in there with me. Very much appreciated.
Got it to work and here is how.
I used ubuntu cd boot disk and created 2nd partition in fat32.
Then I checked the tonido app and looked to see where it was looking for the usb hard drives to show up.
I then made a directory in putty /media/disk2part1/
Then I went into fstab and made that the folder to mount to. And it worked.

Here is the working fstab for others to get it to work in tonido. Maybe there is an auto feature that can be used in future. But this works for me and should work for others that have the tonido plug or using the tonido software. What you suggested as files as mount point didn't work, it would load as fat but tonido or squeezebox didn't see it. So here is the correct fstab line to add if you are mounting his image to hard drive, first partition as ext3 and second partition as fat32.


/dev/sda2 /media/disk2part1 vfat rw,user,auto 0 0

Thanks for helping me, everything works!

Hi Thomas,

I am running SqueezePlug Main 1.0, however I've been having problems with Squeezebox Server 7.5.0 crashing while scanning my library - or so it would seem; squeezeboxserver process continues eating CPU like crazy and I can't connect on port 9000

I would like to restart the installation SqueezeBox Server from scratch and point it to another library location, so I ran the SqueezePlug SBS setup script and chose install/upgrade and went with the default 7.5. After a couple of hours it finally finished, but I'm still having the same problems as before

Is there something I should do first to get SqueezePlug back to pre-SBS install? I have a theory that I need to delete the mysql databaase, but I have no idea how to do so...

Thanks.

The easiest way is to make a new sd-card and start from scratch. You can also try to uninstall SBS and install again so try:

root@squeezeplug:~# atp-get purge --yes squeezeboxserver
root@squeezeplug:~# atp-get autoclean
root@squeezeplug:~# apt-get update
root@squeezeplug:~# apt-get upgrade
root@squeezeplug:~# cd /install
root@squeezeplug:~# wget http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nig...~30934_all.deb
root@squeezeplug:~# dpkg -i squeezeboxserver_7.5.2~30934_all.deb
root@squeezeplug:~# apt-get install -f

Replace the SBS version with the one you like.

Please inform me!

Hi Thomas, this seemed to work, I installed the latest stable release (7.5.1)

I didn't really want to wipe my SD card and have to reconfigure my Samba server etc all over again!

Plutoz:

there is a very comfortable backup function included in Webmin.

You can easily save all the Samba settings and many other stuff into one file. Just take a look.

Thomas!
I wonder if it would be possible to make a backup of your tonido img in tar format. Then we could just boot off nand and using putty unzip it at root of hard drive with first partition that is in ext3 format. It could be extremely simple. And quick. I know when I made the ubuntu root install using tonido's method that is what they did, just had 2 tars and that was it. Maybe even have the fstab configured to NTFS and fat32 from the start.
Just a thought!
Thanks again for helping me out yesterday.

Hello Thomas.

I have downloaded your TonidoPlug img and the USB tool you recommended. I recently acquired a 16GB USB stick. I want to run SqueezePlug on my brand new TonidoPlug which has not been set up yet. Please forgive my newbie questions:

* Is the img built for a particular size USB memory?

* What size? Can I change it? (Assuming it may have been created for less than 16GB.)

* Do I need to format the USB before installing the img? If so, to what system, e.g. FAT, FAT32, EXT3?

* Assuming I get the img installed on the USB, is there anything I must do to the TonidoPlug before I try booting from the USB stick? I read what you said about saving the profile, but I have not yet set up a profile. Do I need to set up and save a profile first?

Thanks very much, and sorry for the dumb questions.
