I don't know, how long I have to push the rear button, when powering up the system. Very shortly. Pusing the button simply alters the booting source when the b3 powers on (or reboots). The LED either starts green (button pushed, USB boot) or purple (released button, disk boot). As soon as you seen ...

Hello everyone, I've just released the debian bookworm image for the B3. This time I tried to anticipate and be able to release it shorlty after the official release. As usual for the debian images, this image is constructed from 3 different projects : the bookworm OS image itself, an install/rescue...

I just emailed you the tar sources. Let me know if you need anything else.

EDIT : the mail bounced (response : unsollicited). So here is a direct link : https://repo.excito.org/tmp/bubba-manual-sources.zip

Is this what you need ? ./pool/main/b/bubba-manual ./pool/main/b/bubba-manual/bubba-manual_2.0.0.1.dsc ./pool/main/b/bubba-manual/bubba-manual_2.0.0.1.tar.xz ./pool/main/b/bubba-manual/bubba-manual_2.0.0.1_all.deb ./pool/main/b/bubba-manual/bubba-manual_2.1.0.dsc ./pool/main/b/bubba-manual/bubba-man...

- bubba-manual
- filetransferdaemon
- bubba-buttond

I can put it back on no problem, let me know if it's needed.

The easyfind infrastructure has been retired and all data archived. This also include the old excito debian repository as well as the hotfix service. The last two could have been restarted but it's only useful for people reinstalling the old (10 years) excito 2.4 install and it's safe to say that it...

Hello Gordon, I tried to install your 1.16 version on a b3 for tests around kernel developments I'm working on but there was an issue after running install_on_dev_sda.sh ; after rebooting the kernel panicked trying to run systemd as init whereas I used the openrc version of the image. Maybe there is...

Unfortunately yes, I think so. As for me I will not include the easyfind cli client I wrote in the debian 12 image and repository.

I had some issues with that as well. Not real sure how that works with Debian though or how you tell it to build the kernel. In my case there appeared to be some conflict with a ported pre-6.x kernel setting that caused init to be killed but to this point I have no clue what setting that might have...

What is the status on this? Are you taking on the offer by @stashek (which is of course a single IP and you should have a secondary backup IP) or will the service be terminated? Thruth it's off for more than 1 month now and no one complained. I saw stasheck's offer but I won't spend time migrating ...

Thanks for your message. It's a great incentive for me to know people continue using this hardware and the distribution I maintain ! Also I started working on the new debian version (12), I have some issues with the 6.1 kernel which refuses to boot. Nevertheless I still hope I'll be able to make it ...

Yes indeed. Do not hesitate if you miss any feature on the kernel, I can add them and release a new version.

Yes using a rescue key is the better option here. You can download the latest bullseye installer here : http://install.excito.org/bullseye/latest/b3/ . Unzip it onto a FAT usb drive, and edit the install.ini file to comment or remove the whole [general] section at the end of the file. You can then b...

Well I'm going to shutdown easyfind (disable both myownb3.com and myownb2.com) and see if we get any reactions here.

FYI I created a 6.1 repository and ported the patchset and configuration. It compiles fine but I did not test it yet.
