SqueezePlugTonido released

Hi folks,
Jasper and me finished a SqueezePlug Version for Tonido.

- Image contains an embedded version of Tonido so tonido admin is not
available
- Make a backup of your profile folder (you can use samba or the winscp
program) on your PC (the profile folder is the folder with the name of
your profile)
- when running the plug from the usb image copy the profilefolder to the
new location: /usr/local/tonido/approot/profiles and reboot your device
- You have to set a tonido user data directory, I created a folder named tonido_data in the rootfs structure for this.

You will find the download here:
http://squeezeplug.de/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=42
Burn the image to an USB-Stick with e.g. the USB-Image Tool find here: http://www.alexpage.de/

Have fun,
Greetings,
Thomas

SqueezePlugV2 Beta released

Hi folks,
I’ve finished SqueezePlugV2 Beta! Please take a look, if you like: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlug#SqueezePlugV2_.28beta.29

What are the advantages of this version?

* Dual Boot Plug with every plug
* New u-boot version 3.4.27
* Debian System on NAND and SD-Card
* Brand new Linux kernel on NAND an SD-Card 2.6.34
* SBS on NAND is also possible
* SBS version 7.6 with a massive increase of performance
* all pretty things from SqueezePlug-Server

As mentioned before, there are some massive problems with SBS-Version 7.6 so please install a actual nightly build. You can also install SBS-Version 7.5. But please don’t do it with the script. Do it manually:

root@squeezeplug:~# cd /install
root@squeezeplug:~# wget
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/7.5/sc/30844/squeezeboxserver_7.5.1~30844_all.deb
root@squeezeplug:~# dpkg -i squeezeboxserver_7.5.1~30844_all.deb
root@squeezeplug:~# apt-get install -f

Please report your experiences.

Greetings,
Thomas

SheevaPlugs available in Europe

Hi folks,
SheevaPlugs are available in whole Europe by Dr. Bott now. Dr. Bott gives a EU-warranty for the Plugs. If you buy the Development Kid, you can use my rescue-system to make a multi-boot Plug from it very easy.

See here: http://www.plugcomputer.eu/de/?page_id=335

Hi Folks,
I’ve finished an alternative Rescue-System with Debian Squeeze.  It works the same way like the other Rescue-System but:

  • Debian Squeeze as OS in an actual version
  • New uboot Version 3.4.27
  • also setup as a multi-boot system

See downloads and have fun,
Greetings, Thomas

SqueezePlugRescue-System released

Hi Folks,
I’ve just finished the SqueezePlugRescue-System. With this system you are able to revoke a bricked SheevaPlug.

Sometimes something runs totally wrong, so that you are left with a bricked plug. If this happens, stay cool. The SqueezePlugRescue-System will guide you to an easy restore process. If everything runs smooth, you get back:

  • a working SheevaPlug with an updated Ubuntu system on the internal RAM (NAND),
  • an updated u-boot system (3.4.23),
  • a much faster UBIFS-Filesystem for a very fast boot and
  • a multi-boot system like the plugs from NewIT. You can insert a sd-card with SqueezePlugMain installed and the plug will boot from sd-card. If you don’t plug in an sd-card, the system boots from the internal NAND.
  • a nice Ubuntu 10.04 System on an USB-Stick fully functional with OpenOffice and much more nice things

Read more about this in my Wiki: http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SqueezePlug#SqueezePlugRescue-System

Have fun,
Greetings, Thomas

Hi folks,
a new Version of SqueezePlugMain 1.07  is released. The changes are:

  • updated Debian Squeeze system
  • updated services like mysql, webmin …
  • script now installs SqueezeBoxServer 7.5.0 by default

A new version for SqueezePlugVM will follow!
