Debian packaged lirc was behaving weird. I had recompiled it from
deb-src and used "--with-driver=mceusb2" to make it work. Debian's
original config uses "--with-driver=userspace" and using that or
--with-driver=all or any combination of them were not resulting in
support for mceusb2.

Thanks for your help

regards,
Nishant

It would be best to have all the time all partitions readonly, so I do.
Except when storing information I remount the data partition for a short time 
in rw mode.

Re: 'ro' changes in version .5 onwards

Thank you.
Few more questions.

In 0.3.1 image,
there were several files in /etc/ like /etc/adjtime /etc/issue
which were softlinks to /rw/etc/adjtime /rw/etc/issue.
In 0.6.5, these are actual files.

Also, /var/log was a soft link to /rw/var/log
In 0.6.5, this is an actual dir.

/var/lib/logrotate was a link to /rw/var/lib/logrotate
In 0.6.5, this is a link to /lib/init/rw/var/lib/logrotate

Can someone explain these changes?
Asking because in my customisation of 0.3.1, I had several files/directories
which were links to corresponding files/dirs in /rw

Now I am confused whether I should do the same thing i.e. (links to files in /rw)
or should I make it an actual file or link to files in /lib/init/rw?

Please help.

Re: 'ro' changes in version .5 onwards

It looks like all those links I created to /rw/whatever
should now be created to /lib/init/rw. Am I correct?
Because even that tar command in /etc/init.d/voyage-sync which
moves stuff from /ro now moves it to /lib/init/rw
instead of /rw.

Kiosk with alix board

Hello everybody,
I need to setup a kiosk using voyage linux on alix board with vga, using x server and firefox (in kiosk mode: i
hope that exists some plugin that can transform it in a kiosk). This system should boot up and run without
any auth password (obviously).
Can someone of you help me?

Thank you

Ciao
A.

Circumvent ext2 problems, using ext3

I have seen some problems with the ext2 filesystem, because
device was left in rw mode after maintenance, and went power-down.
Now I swapped to ext3, and still keep filesystems (on flash) in ro
as much as possible. This circumvent the ext2 problems seen before.
Any opinions on drawbacks?
Accept this change in a next Voyage distribution?

Thanks, Teco

Ask Google for "webcoverger", it's also built using debian live scripts.

Re: Voyage-MPD install

Punky,

The screen shows the following:

Partitions information
Major    Minor    #blocks        Name
8       0       156290904        sda
8       1      150280192         sda1
8       2                   1           sda2
8       5       6007808          sda5
7       0          63160          loop0
7       1         63160         loop1

What do I enter to answer this question?  "which device accesses the target disk [/dev/hde]?"

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

The screen should show all the partitions of your disks, what are they?

Re: Voyage-MPD install

Hi Jeff,

type "/dev/sda" and it will install voyage linux to first partition, i.e. /dev/sda1

Later, there will be another option (menu item 6) to erase entire disk or leave the disk as-is.  If you choose 1
- 
format and create filesystem, the whole /dev/sda will be reformatted,

Regards,
Punky

Sorry if this is late, the uncommented lines in my hardware.conf are:

LIRCD_ARGS=""
LOAD_MODULES=true
DRIVER=""
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_mceusb2"
LIRCD_CONF=""
LIRCMD_CONF=""

I guess using lirc0 is mentioned in the bugreport and is not optimal.
Works fine though.
