Hi, if you managed to boot your B3 using one of the live-USB images as Gordon has suggested, you may be able to mount the root partition (and/or the LVM /home volume) from your HDD (/dev/sda) and copy data from it. You'll also be able to run diagnostic tools on the drive. Please let us know if you h...

Hi Gordon, it's because in e.g. hostapd-2.4-r2.ebuild, having the default ssl USE flag enabled requires -bindist: DEPEND="ssl? ( dev-libs/openssl[-bindist] ) kernel_linux? ( dev-libs/libnl:3 crda? ( net-wireless/crda ) ) netlink? ( net-libs/libnfnetlink ) sqlite? ( >=dev-db/sqlite-3 )" whi...

Well, on the one hand 'if it ain't broke'... but there does appear to be a move away from netctl (for example, the newer ArchLinuxArm tarballs now ship with networkd rather than netctl enabled by default), so, you might wish to migrate your other box to networkd also, to avoid any issues in future. ...

Hello, I've just released version 1.2.0 of the live-USB image of Arch Linux for the B3 on GitHub ( here ). All included packages are up-to-date against the Arch tree, as of 10 November 2015 (and so, of course, shellshock, heartbleed and Ghost fixes have been applied). As before, the kernel used is (...

Hi stasheck, just seen something similar myself (rebuilding the Arch live-USB image at the moment). Think there may be a clash between netctl and the native systemd network provisioning, under the current rev of systemd. Creating the /etc/systemd/network/... files (as you have done) is a better way ...

Hello, I've just released version 1.8.0 of the live-USB image of Gentoo Linux for the B3 on GitHub ( here ). The kernel has been upgraded to version 4.3.0 . All included packages are up-to-date against the Gentoo tree, as of 8 November 2015 (and so, of course, shellshock, heartbleed and Ghost fixes ...

Hi,
Issuing should fix your compiler (that's a one, not an ell, by the way).

Once that is done you'll need to fix your USE flags (eg bindist) and re-emerge.

Apologies for short response, travelling atm,
Best, Sakaki

Hi AcEswiss, not 100% sure as I don't run this package myself, but based on this post , and then following up with a search on archlinuxarm.org, I would guess the package name you need is plex-media-server (you need armv5 for the B3). Assuming so, then on the Arch live-USB , you can simply run: [roo...

Hello, as readers of this forum probably know, Gordon has been doing some great work recently, porting the original Excito web UI for the B3 to Gentoo . To make it easy for everyone to try this out, I've just released a special edition (SE) of the 1.7.0 Gentoo live-USB for the B3, with this UI pre-i...

Hello, I've just released version 1.7.0 of the live-USB image of Gentoo Linux for the B3 on GitHub ( here ). The kernel has been upgraded to version 4.1.6 . All included packages are up-to-date against the Gentoo tree, as of 12 September 2015 (and so, of course, shellshock, heartbleed and Ghost fixe...

Hi, The version of fdisk on the current Gentoo live USB is GPT-capable. So if you like, you could boot from the live-USB again, and then try: b3 ~ # lsblk to see a list of your drives - hopefully you will have sda (the HDD) and sdb (the live-USB) (plus their partitions) visible. if so then try: b3 ~...

Hi, so, unbeknownst to me the two hardware revisions of the Bubba|2 (which Tor mentions here and here ) actually have different device trees and U-boot environments , and as a result of this, my previous (1.1.0) Gentoo B2 live-USB image would only work for those with the newer (rev 2) boards (which ...

Hi Gordon

Looks great! I'll include this emerged with the next live-USB release.
Any plans for an Arch variant? (I think it'd be quite popular!)

Best, sakaki

Hi Gordon,
thanks, I will include that change in the next release.
Best, sakaki

Just been trying to find an usb stick which would work on my B2, without any success, Unfortunately, the B2 (and B3, for that matter) is quite picky about which USB sticks it will boot from, due to shortcomings in U-Boot's USB drivers. I have a tiny 'blinktest' image that you can quickly use to che...
