I'm working on correcting the issue with the Pro, but in the mean time, optware should work for you.

The basics:

I feel like a complete idiot, but I don't know where to start. I viewed the first link but to me it's jibberish. I'm familiar with linux, I'm an Ubuntu user, but what I'm really looking for is a step-by-step tutorial.

I tried http://www.plugapps.com/index.php5/PlugApps:Pogoplug_Pro_Chroot and http://www.plugapps.com/index.php5/Application:Samba

but after following those steps I get stuck when executing the smbpasswd command. I get an " GLIBC_2.12 required" error and the only answer I found is http://plugapps.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=864 and that's not very helpful.

I gave up for now, maybe someone can give me hope for a fresh new start on the Samba stuff?

Thanks!

Thanks! But does that step by step tutorial work on the Pro? And does it install the opt and samba software on the plug itself or on an usb stick/thumbrive? Can it ruin my pogoplug? And can I still use the standard Pogoplug Software next to samba?

This would install it into /opt as that is on a usb drive. You can use this beside the CE my.pogoplug.com services.

Hello All- I am unable to get Samba installed on my Pogoplug because I get stuck at the following setup: get the optware ipkg system
wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/ipkg-
opt_0.99.163-10_arm.ipk

I get an error saying Connecting to ipkg.nslu2-linux.org (140.211.169.161:80)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found. Please help!! This is also happening on a friends pogoplug that is on a completely different network, so I don't think it is a network problem. Thanks!

Jeff
