Here's my setup. Ventilation isn't a problem, but I will eventually put a USB powered fan in there to be safe. It closes right up and is totally silent when closed! (HDD enclosure does make noise because of its fan).  |

Has anyone here used VMWare appliances? The same idea could apply here - have some of the experts make some images for certain tasks (ie Home Server, Web Server, whatev) that are generic enough to be helpful for a broad swath of people, but of course it's linux so the end user could continue customizing it to fit the individual perfectly.
I for one would appreciate that, since I have yet to learn how to compile my own kernel (I'm just not ready yet for the time commitment required to learn it!) and I would love some of the features such as CPU stepping, NTFS support, etc.

I have used firefly and it works great, but I haven't tried it on my sheevaplug yet (since I don't use apple products and I haven't found another application for a daap server). Try using aptitude, since there should be arm builds of most progs in the repos through apt-get. I think it's called mt-daapd. So, try apt-get install mt-daapd or apt-cache search mt-daapd to find what the package is called if the first doesn't work. Let us know the results. |

General Category / General Discussion / My plug stopped working! "Bad Data CRC"
|

In this crowd I am a total newbie. I did manage to get the supplied ubuntu image installed using tftp and nfs. I have installed lighttpd, mysql, php5 (wordpress), samba, transmission and it all works great. Today I was moving some stuff I got off of torrents around (using an external USB HDD). I noticed performance was sluggish, and had windows have a few complaints like the share was disconnected. They were immediately resolved though. I typed in the top command in the console, and smbd (or something like that, the samba daemon) was about 96% cpu utilization. After that my console connection crashed. I rebooted the plug, couldn't connect. After connecting using the serial cable, this is the output I get when booting: | \/ | __ _ _ ____ _____| | |

I asked them about an arm package, and they gave me the link to the arm package. The software is quite good, as far as I've been able to tell. You can request to be a tester as well at http://www.tonido.com/forum. It sounds like they're planning on charging for the plug version, so you might as well get in on it as a tester if they'll give it to you for free! The music jukebox in particular seems quite good. |

With all the serious business around here, I thought perhaps we could use a change of speed. Besides, who doesn't like pictures?  Here's my torrent box. This stuff is all about 8 feet up, on top of a cabinet in my music & computing room. Yes, that is a small dumbell on the right; it's very strategically placed to make it difficult for me to pull everything off the cabinet should I happen to bump any cables. Worst case, the dumbell comes down too and puts me out of my misery! There's a terabyte in the external drive, and the plug currently has its root filesystem on a 4G Sandisk Extreme III SDHC card.  I have my rootfs on the same card! It flies! I also have a 1.5TB USB HDD hooked up for my home directory (my Windows 7 machine backs up to my home directory every week) and all my mp3s and videos. I'll also post a picture soon. |

No, tonidoplug.com is the site for their hardware, I doubt many of us would be interested in that as we already own a sheevaplug. I am interested in getting an arm package so I can install their software from tonido.com on my plug.

It looks like someone is developing the sheevaplug with a product called the Tonido Plug. The software looks really good though, and they offer it for download for free. The only problem is, they only offer it in the i686 architecture and no source code. I'm really interested in the jukebox, as all the jukebox options I've found either require Java or PHP (no thanks).

After a weekend of testing, I've decided that Transmission, plus this frontend (if you're using Windows): http://code.google.com/p/transmission-remote-dotnet/is preferable to Deluge on the Sheevaplug, simply due to CPU utilization. Deluge uses all the CPU when performing any of it's more intensive operations (such as, say, getting a list of torrents), whereas Transmission rarely hits 50%. Just my opinion, of course. Thanks for that link! I like transmission, install with its dependencies was less than 2MB. Install of deluge w/ its dependencies was over 100MB! I really wasn't happy about that, so thanks for pointing this one out. Apparently the cli version lacks a lot of the features of the gui version, but it sounds like they're porting that over. |

I was able to install deluge using apt-get, but I get the following error when starting the daemon: root@debian:~# deluged -d

ImportError: No module named libtorrent I posted in the deluge forums, but their people aren't very helpful. I might just try transmission then, since it looks like they have a webui... |
