Try -hP, which tells it to poweroff, not just to halt. (Actually I just do "init 0", but that might be a bit heavy-handed) From the shutdown man page: -h Halt or poweroff after shutdown. -H Halt action is to halt or drop into boot monitor on systems that support it. -P Halt action is to tu...

Also worth pointing out that sshfs works and is very lightweight as far as the bubba is concerned.; it only needs extra software on the client machine.

I think you mean uPnP.
Yes for uPnP mediatomb has to be running.

See the section about mediatomb in the manual.

The music has to be placed in /home/storage/music
The connection, which you can view with your browser is

I've just read up a bit about MTU, mainly here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_transmission_unit My experiences do seem to fit with this idea, since small packets do get through OK, but large ones don't: the first few hundred bytes do arrive and then the connection freezes. I suspect what is h...

I will try this this evening, but I'm puzzled why you want me to reduce the value from what you say is the good value instead of increasing the bad value to 1500?

I'm fully up-to-date with SW updates: 1.0.8-1, plus 1 update since then. update now says "0 packages to update." You've seen my output of route -n in the other thread (about silicon bug) /etc/resolv.conf contains: search <my IP provider's domain> nameserver <my IP provider's DNS server 1> ...

Which workaround? The ethtool workaround described as a solution to the silicon bug does not fix my problem. I have 1.0.8-1 and settings->upgrade now says "0 packages to update." I can link from the bubba to the internet in every configuration, I cannot link from the PC to the internet if ...

It works when behind a router.

I've found that my bubba does now work when it is behind a router, but not when it is directly connected to my internet cable modem. In my initial tests it didn't work in that configuration as reported in the other thread, but suddenly it started working and I don't know that I changed anything that...

Follow the instructions in the manual (near the end of the manual) to place this image onto a USB stick and then browse to the stick. You will find a file called bubba.cfg with the...

doesn't your media player need a media server?

My (very) limited experience is that media players need to talk to a media server. Bubba has 2: - firefly for DAAP - mediatomb for UPnP These are switched on in the services section of the admin interface, and then can be accesses to manage then through (e.g.) http://bubba:3689 for firefly To access...
