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?
-
untaring the previous one will work normally
also, some drivers wont compile for arm even if seemingly supported by the kernel
so we would need to "freeze" a working media_build+linux-media combo and fork it somewhere
+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.

@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

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
Since I'm currently trying to integrate @lex' latest patches to support the cheap GC2035 Orange Pi camera as driver into our sun8i legacy kernel another useful task would be to package @lex' adopted fswebcam version so we can deliver this armbian-gc2035-fswebcam package through Armbian repo.
Anyone?
-
@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
Like i mentioned to tkaiser on irc i'd be willing to take on packaging, seeing as how Gravelrash beat me to it I think we can tag-team it.
what i'll be looking into is reusable package templates, metapackages & taxonomy as per the list summarized by @rellla
ps. Gravelrash, hit me up in a dm if you're up for collaborating.
-
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

@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
-
donation made for 50 euros - not much but its what i got.
-
Thx for the offer. Please compare the value of an hour of development work with hardware costs for those boards and decide then again regarding donations
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
Maybe hardware vendors will get the idea sometimes in the future to better throw their crappy OS images in the bin and sponsor projects like Armbian instead. -
@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/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

NTFS Hard drive and Samba Share

@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
