BubbaServer (b1) lenny image

[carl]

An new image for BubbaServer (B1) is now available at http://update.excito.net/install/bubba- ... nny/image/
As full testing hasn't been possible, please regard this as an pre-release, and further upgrades, if necessary, will be relayed via the upgrade manager.

To install, place the image on an USB stick (the image is 180MB large); Insert the stick into the bubba, and while press the power button, insert the power cord.

Hej, thank you for an excellent product. Do you have any idea when Lenny will be released for Bubba|TWO?

I just tried it and found the following problem:
* Time and date is set to 1970 and can not be updated from web interface (Error message is "Unable to update time and date. Please check syntax of entered data." but I doubt that my data is wrong, because I can't even change the current time with a minute)
* Due to the faulty date (I'm assuming) it's not possible to log in to the server via SSH, since the password has "expired" and thus it's not possible changing this manually. I tried setting my computers system time to January 1 1970 but still got the same problem...

What can I do to fix this? I'm happy to do some debugging, should it be necessary.

Oh, that wasn't good, gonna look into it asap (was going to install ntp, but hesitated)

Ok, have fixed the problem (was wrong parameter count in backend.pl for set_time), you should be able to use the web upgrade to upgrade the bubba package, and after that it is possible to change the time.

/Carl Fürstenberg

[FoH]

That was quick! I confirm that the problem is fixed, date and time was successfully updated and ssh login working again (after anther password change due to "expired" password, since last login was 1970). Great work!

[mabl]

Great! I've been waiting for this. But I think I ran in a bug with samba. It is a freshly set up bubba1 with this lenny pre-release.

It is updated to the most recent versions (it needed a "dpkg --configure -a" ), no lenny archives activated. One user has been added to be able to log into bubba with ssh.

So as you can see, samba fails to run. Would be great if there are any suggestions. I already tried enableing the lenny packages and defaulting to the lenny samba.conf. But no luck.

[mabl]

Seems there was interfaces = eth1 in samba.conf. Changed it to eth0 and now it works

It also is impossible to set the network setting on the webinterface.

EDIT:

Mediatomb fails with

I haven't changed anything in it's config file and also don't see anything malformed.

EDIT2:
It also appears as the mt-daap deamon only advertises itself during startup via Bonjour/avahi. I can still connect to the share with rhythembox when I enter the IP of the server. But it is only automatically dicovered when i force the service to restart.

Thanks for the headsup, I will try to resolve the issues as they arrive in the bug queue. As you might notice, I never tested samba, mediatomb etc... only to the point they executed without direct errors, and as it takes around eight - ten hours to compile the affected packages (per each), It was difficult to set aside time for it.
If the only problem with samba is the eth1 vs. eth0 (most packages are based on the BubbaTwo equivalent as there has been soo many changes since sarge), I will build an new one asap.

That's ok for me, samba feels a lot faster now, and firefly finally supports playlists. That's great!

I also had to change "read only" to "no" for the homes share since without it no user could write to his own home directory, but don't know what the expected default behavior is here.

But bubba already does most of the things I want it to do. Oh and the kernel does not support ipv6, such a shame... Would be great to have an official new kernel release somewhen

A new kernel is possible, but it is difficult and dangerous, with one wrong step, and the bubba is bricked

I have also tried the new Lenny image:

I didn't have a DHCP-server on my network and that made my Bubba unreachable. It didn't get a static IP of 192.168.0.242 so I tried different IP:s but I couldn't find the right one. So i activated my DHCP-server in my router and there it was... my Bubba! I can confirm that you can't use the web-gui to change Bubba to use a static IP.

Regarding mt-daap (firefly) stop advertise itself:

I used to run the "raw" images (both etch and lenny) and I installed the firefly-package. Firefly would show up in iTunes on my Mac right after a Bubba reboot, but suddenly disappear from iTunes. The only way to get i t back was to restart avahi, mDNS and mt-daapd but then you could only stream music for a little while and suddenly it stopped and firefly had disappeared again from iTunes. To solve this I edited /etc/avahi/avahi-daemon.conf; uncomment the line host-name=foo and changed it to host-name=bubba and rebooted the Bubba (I don't know why I had to make this change in the conf-file, but without it I couldn't get it to work). Then I issued the command ifconfig eth0 promisc and that did the trick! Now it works like a charm, but the only thing is that you need to run the above command everytime you have rebooted your Bubba.

/Markus

Hi vecka53,

It should be enough by setting the eth0 device in an allmulti mode, not promisc, and it should work. Further more this sounds like a bug since this should have be done during boot (As it is done in the sarge version).

/Tor

[mabl]

It should be enough by setting the eth0 device in an allmulti mode, not promisc, and it should work.

For me it only works in promisc mode. I added "up ifconfig eth0 promisc" to /etc/network/interfaces and now it works. Doesn't work with allmulti.

I have not edited the hostname settings as vecka53 did.
