Re: Excito Bubba 3 - compatible SSDs ?
I have used two different generations of Intel SSD in my b3 without any problems. I currently use a Intel DC S3500, which is a bit on the pricey side, but I wanted a drive with power loss protection. Like you, when I search the forum I see no clear pattern of which SSD:s works or not. There's at lea...

Re: Serial console access
Well, I just checked and I found Rx at 3 and Tx at 4. Don't know why that didn't work out for you. Huh, that's interesting. It appears that the pinouts really do vary between board revisions! I have two B3:s, neither have TX/RX on 3 and 4. Here's a photo of the bottom side of a B3 board, rev PC1, 2...

Re: Serial console access
Re the 6 hole pinout : I've determined¹ that pin 1 is GND but I was unable to detect TX/RX on any of the remaining five pins. I also took a macro photo on the bottom side of the PCB and tried to visually follow the traces from the TX/RX on the edge connector to the 6 holes. Again AFACT, while the t...

Re: Serial console access
Do note that the B3 board actually has 3 different locations where you can create a serial connection. Next to the onboard battery there are ... 2: a row of holes that are meant for a 6-pin male header which is a real straight forward solder job. Oh, do you mean these? You wouldn't happen to know t...

Re: Serial console access via a Rasberry Pi?
What about connecting the serial console via a Raspberry Pi? Are they pin compatible? Can I just connect pin cables directly between GPIO14+15 on the rpi and the rx/tx solering points on the b3? https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/gpio/ https://elinux.org/RPi_Serial_Connection The elinux...

Re: Debian 10 "Buster"
I've compiled a new version with the missing nftables modules. Let me know how it goes... It works! With the new kernel /etc/nftables.conf loaded without errors and my wifi and lan traffic is now masqueraded by nftables as they previously were with iptables. Thank you. For the record, heres how I m...

Re: Debian 10 "Buster"
update-alternatives --set iptables /usr/sbin/iptables-legacy Did the trick. I had the same experience. With iptables-legacy selected my old masquerade rules works fine. Before giving in to the legacy approach though, I made a feeble attempted to migrate to nftables. Unfortunately it appears that th...

Re: Debian 10 "Buster"
I'm quite happy to join the choir for praise of Mouette in this thread. I'm grateful for your awesome work on the b3 Debian port. Thank you! I had an almost flawless upgrade experience. I used the command apt full-upgrade rather than apt-get dist-upgrade . It was somewhat surprising that the old ker...

Serial console access
Today I once again found myself wanting serial console access to my b3. While the rescue boot usb image works fine, I imagine that it is a bit more convenient to just connect to the console via usb. Anyone know if the follwing converter could work, as an alternative to the one mentioned on the wiki¹...

Re: Debian 10 "Buster"
Those names you refer to are the so-called 'Predictable Network Interface Naming' names. That has actually been around for quite some time now, at least 5 years, and if it had applied to the B3 you would have already encountered that issue. ... As it stands, eth0 and eth1 are defined as such in the...

Re: Debian 10 "Buster"
I haven't tried yet, but hope to do so real soon now. I'm a bit hesitant because of the move away from legacy network interface names. If I understand the release notes correctly eth0 and eth1 will be replaced by some really weird looking names. root@b3:~# udevadm test-builtin net_id /sys/class/net/...

Re: B2: Debian removed jessie powerpc repos - what now?
Debian keeps archives of their old non-supported releases, even after they're removed from the regular repositories. You should be able to use the archives as sources for apt. https://www.debian.org/distrib/archive I'm sure you're already aware, but you should obviously not expose your bubba to the ...

Re: xxxmyownb3.com with letsencrypt
Good to hear that you solved the problem, Puma. The fact that Letsencrypt does not publish the ip-numbers of their validation hosts is a security feature. It makes man in the middle attacks of the validation process harder. If you want certificates for hosts that you really do not want to expose to ...
