@all you guys dont hang about! I have just logged on to attempt to answer/assist and its all fixed. @Dean it may be a good idea for you to write up the steps you took to install and configure the "simple" samba setup you are using. From finding the blkid / setting static mount etc. I will gladly proof read it for you and advise where any corrections may be necessary For the following reasons. 1 - as a "newbie" your instructions and experience will match the experience of most people new to samba and this will save a lot of people a lot of headaches 2 - It will help you should you ever need to do this again 3 - It will add to the instantly available knowledge on the forum 4 - It will save me doing it :D

I hope im not too late in offering assistance, i can help there. can you post me up your /etc/samba/smb.conf and i will check it over. first question, are you doing this as: a standalone server? part of a windows domain? as a Domain Controller?

+1 If we freeze at a set working point then we at least know that this will work, and can modify the variable for its download to match the next known working one when its stable.

I claim the HOWTO for configuring NFS and shareing it it to alow for NFS booting. I have also shared my quick and dirty build script for fswebcam if its suitable to be included for your use. https://github.com/gravelrash/lib/blob/master/extras/fswebcam.sh

@lex if the devs decide that what i have posted above is sufficient for them to deem it worthy of being modded and included in the scripts then i will gladly assist in building you a .deb file based on the above elsewise i think i can amend the above to create a standalone .deb so that you can include it on your github site

Im no skilled packager, but i had a go and here is the script i used, it should be able to add to the build tools you use - with some modifications. Like i said before when it comes to building .debs anything beyond --check-install is new to me -----------> snip CACHEDIR="/sdcard/cache" DEST="/sdcard" tmpdir1="tmpdir1" TARGET="boardtarget" REVISION="0.0.1" ARCH="armhf" MAINTAINER="someone" MAINTAINERMAIL="someemail@smoewhere" sync # lets hear we started! echo "Building fswebcam" > $DEST/debug/fswebcam-build.log 2>&1 git clone https://github.com/avafinger/fswebcam $CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1 >> $DEST/debug/fswebcam-build.log 2>&1 # Jump into the cache "/sdcard/cache/tmpdir1" cd $CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1 # now we configure and make it ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-v4l1 --enable-32bit-buffer && make >> $DEST/debug/fswebcam-compile.log 2>&1 # # Lets do some deb packaging prep cd $CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1 mkdir -p fswebcampak fswebcampak/DEBIAN fswebcampak/usr/bin fswebcampak/usr/share/man/man1 cat <<END > fswebcampak/DEBIAN/control Package: fswebcam$TARGET Version: $REVISION Architecture: $ARCH Maintainer: $MAINTAINER <$MAINTAINERMAIL> Installed-Size: 1 Depends: libgd2-xpm-dev, libjpeg-dev, libpng-dev, libfreetype6-dev, libgd-dev Section: utils Priority: optional Description: fswebcam https://github.com/avafinger/fswebcam END # fswebcam cp "$CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1/fswebcam" "$CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1/fswebcampak/usr/bin/fswebcam" cp "$CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1/fswebcam.1.gz" "$CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1/fswebcampak/usr/share/man/man1/fswebcam.1.gz" cd "$CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1/fswebcampak" cd .. # package it all up dpkg -b $CACHEDIR/$tmpdir1/fswebcampak # # NOW MOVE IT TO WHERE ITS NEEDED ! -----------> snip

How do i get the .deb to you when i have completed it? Id better do something constructive as you have selected me to receive a free board

@all I have had a go at what you suggested and i need to spend a LOT more time getting to grips with the fundamentals, so I wont be claiming any of the deb and packaging side. I think that @Xer0 & @madilabs & @xcasex & @rella would be more suited to this task I will resign myself to doing HOWTO's for armbian as and when i spot the need for one.

im up for collaborating, My experience of software compilation / packaging beyond --check-install is limited at best. hence my offer to try it before i commit. PM sent

i will give the above a try before i commit to taking it on

The quick and dirty way to find the user id assigned to that number is to do the following as root getent passwd "999" | cut -d: -f1 can you post the output of /etc/exports the default for most nfs installs is v4, when i install nfs and configure it i do it the following way. apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade ; apt-get install autofs nfs-kernel-server nfs-common --install-recomends -f -y ; sync ; reboot ; BTW - im currently working on a howto around NFS over on the doozan forums so if you want to have a look there that may help as well http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,28351

@all can you elaborate on what you are seeking around the following "we need properly built, packed and supported desktop with major functions: video acceleration/fbturbo, libump, mali, etc." i already build my own desktops using whats available on the base desktop environment you supply and changing packages to suit. its all standard repository stuff. Im happy to get involved where i can

oopsie.....

have you considered using "triggerhappy" available from the repo and this link here https://github.com/wertarbyte/triggerhappy

donation made for 50 euros - not much but its what i got.

i hear you!! +I don't own that particular device and probably never will, I applaud you for attempting to support a device that even the manufacturer cant/wont and you don't even have your hands on, which is why i will again donate to the cause. I really wish that the manufacturer took the view that by engaging more with you chaps there reputation would soar and the community as a whole would benefit. There's a lot to be said for "Free and Open Source", but too many manufacturers and people seem to think free, as in beer; is what Free means...... anyroads.... paypal here i come..

@tkaiser & @Igor if it will help the Devs, i will make an additional contribution to the project to cover the cost of two Orange Pi Lites.

@Guest_lolek_* thankyou

Agreed, I think that the hardware vendors should sponsor projects such as this one, which will benefit not only them but the community as a whole

@tkaiser if you were given the task of buying the OrangPi or this Banana Offering, which would you spend you hard earned money on Today = 6months = Peace and Respect to you.

extract then overlay the two together. These any use to you? http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/LXC http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Chroot http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Howto-lxc-simple http://wiki.alpinelinux.org/wiki/Buildlab Im not an alpine user but the standard build behaviours should hold true compile kernel and uboot overlay with rootfs of choice configure as needed

+1 for what tkaiser said all my test routers branded and Openwrt based accept the LAA addresses. maybe you need to change or update firmwares on your routers etc
