I forgot to add, this is on a Sheevaplug, with the stock distribution. 2.6.22.18, Version #1 Thu Mar 19 14:46:22 IST 2009

I have connected a 2nd USB drive, it's a 3TB drive. After partitioning it and formatting it to ext2, it only shows as being 800GB in size. Any ideas if I am doing something wrong or if this is a bug?

Here are the various outputs I get:

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,

I have my plug connected to a brand new APC550VA battery backup UPS (39.95 from BestBuy.com).

According to the specs of the UPS it will last up to 43 minutes when you have a 15" LCD and a Mac Mini running on it.

I was hoping that since my sheevaplug only draws ~5 watts that it would actually last longer.

Alas, not. At the 45 minute mark it proceeded to shut off. APC tech support is of no help at all.

Does anyone else have their plug connected to a UPS and if so, what brand, and have you tested how long it will run without power?

Thanks
Kevin

About 5 years ago I did some programming for a company that had an PC with an Intel ISDN phone card in it and the system handled multiple incomming phone lines and had the standard "Press 1 to talk to accounting" "Press 2 to leave a message" etc. The software could detect the phone buttons pressed and record messages etc.

So I got thinking, does anyone make a similar device but USB based that you could connect to your plug and have a full blown phone system?

I was googleing around and found the Dialogic Diva USB http://www.dialogic.com/products/tdm_boards/diva_client/Diva_ISDN_USB.htm, not sure if it does the same thing. It does come with Linux drivers, has anyone used it or know of something that does what I am asking about?



Thanks

I have updated the tar now. I had made two changes to the directory reading code, I guess the first change didn't solve the issue but the 2nd one did.

Thanks
Kevin

is there a list somewhere saying what the projects are?
Kevin

plugcrazy:
hopefully one of the other guys can help as I'm running apache2 so I have no idea. They are both running lighthttpd.

As for the directory and processes listings not working, I've updated the code, found a possible bug in the directory scanning so maybe it might work now? I've updated the tar.gz file that is linked to above.

Thanks,
Kevin

One more thing, for processes, does it show "Error unable to get info" or does it just show nothing?

Thanks
Kevin

Showing files and showing processes use the same mechanism, they open the directory and scan it for the files. So the only think that I can think of is there is a bug in my directory scanning code. It works for me with the default install so there must be some small difference with what you are running. I will add a bunch of debug prints to the output log file and hopefully together we can track that down. I will have a closer look at the code tonite and see if i can see anything wrong to start and then if not, add more debug code and post a new build.

Thanks!

The login form password is sent in the clear that's why I'd recommend using HTTPS, but once it is authenticated the first time then it saves the crypted version of the password to the cookie for the session. I could base64 encode or do some other type of encryption on it but since it is open-source anyone can see the decode function so anyone who really wants to get your password would be able to unless you used HTTPS.

Kevin

You should just need to do:

chmod ug+s wpanel

On it and it's owner / group should both be root, that should be all that is needed as far as I know.
Cheers
Kevin

Here it is:

http://www.scale18.com/temp/wpanel.tar.gz

I'm not sure if once you untar/ungzip if it keeps it settings. it needs to be root and needs setuid and setgid so it can do authentication of the name/password you supply. So you might need to manually change that.

Kevin

I just posted all the code and some screenshots at : http://code.google.com/p/wpanel/
I am familiar with anyterm and ajaxterm but frankly they were too complicated for me to install since I am a linux newbie. I decided to write my own. It is a single executable so installing it is as simple as compiling it and then just copying it into your cgi-bin folder.
You can quickly view the various states of your plug by clicking on the various tabs along the top. You can also view the files on your plug as well as edit any text files on your plug right in the browser. There is also an interactive shell so you can run commands on your plug in any browser.

Any feedback on it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
Kevin

FYI, mine took ~5 weeks,  I just got it about 2 weeks ago.
