Thanks. I got there, but it aint pretty. Fsck exists after two dozen bad blocks with a "signal 7". From that point onwards bubba only says "Bus Error" irrespective which command I give (halt, shutdown, ls, top, free). The only commands that executed normally are sshd (I could SSH...

Today I noted in the output of my PC's daily backup that my B2 is suffering from HD errors (B2 pulls a backup using rsnapshot and then sends me a summary of what it has done). Extended test using smartmontools confirms 1457 bad sectors in /home. I then tried to do an fsck but was not able to unmount...

Rrsnapshot is a very similar alternative. Works a charm, also to use Bubba to pull backups from other PCs.

Can you post instructions how you got Gallery 3 installed? I managed to get Gallery 2 installed on my Bubba (quite some time ago), and now find that the copious notes I took are insufficient to install Gallery 3. Secondly, how do you find the performance of Gallery 3 on B2? I like the concept of pho...

There is one utility which I really would want on my bubba -- deduplication by means of freedup . This is not present in the repositories for bubba as far as I can make out. I know that 'freedups' is available, but it is not working quite as well. Any other deduplication software for this version av...

I have almost exactly the same problem, but with an HP Laserjet 1010. Typical scenario is that I print, lights starts (and never stops) flashing. Pressing buttons doesn't change this, but re-submitting same document does mostly (but not always), result in an error page along the lines "PCL XL e...

I think this should work, provided you disable wireless on your router (otherwise clients will not know whether to connect to your router or bubba). Cabling should be as follows: router --> WAN-port on Bubba LAN-port Bubba --> clients Wifi Bubba --> clients You may need to ensure that your clients a...

I think it is a better solution to use a gallery like e.g. Zenphoto wich has built in support both .mov, .flv and more. I have had a look at their website and like what I see. Downloading and putting it somewhere (/opt) is all doable, but I cannot figure out how to progress from here. Haven't been ...

Do you know duplicity? I think this fits the bill (i.e. off-site backup, only upload delta's, encrypt on client not on server), but I haven't had the time yet to try this out.

I have recently started to use the photo album stuff. It is functional but pretty Spartan. My main wishes would be to have a bigger preview of the photo (I have a 1680x1050 monitor; having a preview of 600 x 450 pix leaves a lot of white space) and ability to customise the album further (use black b...

You can only access the Humax via FTP, so will need an FTP client that runs on Bubba. A program like lftp can be started from an xterm. You could ssh to bubba from a PC, then start lftp (or whatever ftp client you prefer) and then connect from there to Humax. During transfer your ftp clients needs t...
