As I'm starting to work on one, I was thinking if there's any available already... I couldn't find anything online, so better ask before start double-coding it! :) cheers.... -H

Merging support tickets - This is a problem

Steve173 — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 17:45:29 GMT

Hello All, Christopher I hope you see this and can help. I have at least 3 different support tickets that I opened but every time I submit another one they keep closing it saying it is merged with ticket 57445 but there is nothing in 57445 that shows each problem that is merged into it. These are 3 very different issues. I do not think that this is a very organized way to do business. I would like each problem to remain open until it is resolved otherwise things get lost. Tickets that they did this to ... 57627 There is a Music, Photos and Videos directories on my primary hard drive. Where did they come from? 19:23 Closed Fumio 19:33 57444 RPC error Dec-30 Closed Fumio Dec-30 Thanks Steve

strgg — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 14:52:03 GMT

Hi Community Nice to have this forum. Indulge me and my question, i am only experienced in PHP, Perl. Object: Pogoplug Pro Special Features: WiFi Goal: Install a desktop Linux Desktop Distro with Graphical UserInterface. Damn Small Linux and Puppy need only 16gb RAM and can be used with a live-USB. Goal explained: I want the Pogo to be used as a small PC attached to my TV where i can surf the net, view Media, programm. My experience with Linux so far: Puppy, Ubuntu, DSL install or boot from Live-USB Questions: Can i install "puppy" or similar on the device or is a special distro for Arm needed? Will it be difficult to make the WiFi work on such a linux distro? What would you recommend considering my need? Thanks a ton for your advice and help Greetings from Europe, Gerome

adambot — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 03:01:21 GMT

Greetings. I followed the directions here: http://www.pogoplugged.com/article/21667/Pogoplug-Hackery-How-to-Set-Up-Persistent-USB-Mount-Locations/ i have added the following to the bottom of my /etc/init.d/rcS: mount `/usr/sbin/findfs UUID="473480a0-f633-46ae-8832-3f1e55eac82b"` /opt but it seems to be ignored. I also have tried to stop hbmrg, delete sda1 from /tmp/.cemnt, then restart, however then i get this: df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on ubi0:rootfs 104524 11880 92644 11% / none 62884 12 62872 0% /tmp/dev/ sda1 1899892 4628 1798752 0% /opt/tmp/.cemnt/ sda1 1899892 4628 1798752 0% /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda1/tmp/.cemnt/ sdb1 1922859912 200184 1824984052 0% /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdb1

Pogoplug pro and linux help

JamesR913 — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 23:19:55 GMT

I am new to linux but have been doing some reading and would like to get a build of linux installed that i could use plex media server with so i can always have my movies available on more devices than what it natively supports. the issue i am running into is i dont want to completely remove the pogoplug functionality, because of this i decide to go with opt ware but it doesnt seem like there is a real clear step by step for noobs. for instance today i tried using a tuorial i found here but after i downloaded the mke2fs.zip and trie to unzip it i got a "unzip: not found" error. i know this is a basic linux thing but i cant figure it out. If i am asking too much please tell me or tell me if i should just use the tutorial from lifehacker to turn it into a linux web server. thanks

Pogoplug Hackery: How to Set Up Persistent USB Mount Locations

Lee Jones — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 18:02:30 GMT

Editor's note: Like several of the articles in the development section, this tutorial is meant for those knowledgeable in Pogoplug programming (and hacks in general) and wish to get it to do things it can't do out of the box. This means you should have a solid general idea of the commands you're running, unless you love to live on the dangerous side of things, as tinkering around with Pogoplug's innards can cause unpredictable behavior or even bricking. Have fun and tread carefully! In a previous post , I talked about how I set up rsync on my Pogoplug. In that article I mentioned a couple of “Gotchas”, such as the way USB drives may be a different device name upon reboot. For Optware to work properly the drives need to stay consistent. Here is my solution. You need to install the Optware e2fs libraries and programs, then use blkid and findfs to locate the drive. The commands below will download and copy the necessary libraries and e2fs utilities for mounting your flash drive in the same location. The way I do it below is to use the device UUID instead of the drive label to locate the drive, but...

Web API Documentation?

briannathaniel — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 00:03:50 GMT

Maybe I've missed something, but I cannot find ANY documentation on the PogoPlug API. Specifically, I am looking for the Web API documentation. It seems to have moved around quite a bit, but completey disappeared with the redesign of the PogoPlug website. Anybody have a link or a document containing what I'm looking for? Thanks in advanced.
