mikelangeloz, Hi!
in a new assembly volumio, which recently collected and posted on the forum,
It does not work to mount a folder (SAMBA) via the web interface.
The size, its name is visible, but it DOES NOT be MOUNTED.
register in additional settings "vers = 1.0, 2.0" 0 does not help
Help solve this?
Hi,
I use Debian Jassie:
and Botic kernel:
For some time I have an issue with date/time in my system. After boot/reboot I see old date/time:
How can I restore the automatic date/time update at system startup/boot?
TIA
I use Debian Jassie:
Code:
BeagleBoard.org Debian Image 2017-02-26
Code:
Linux beaglebone 4.8.13-botic7-rc3 #1 PREEMPT Sat Dec 10 01:35:51 CET 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux
Code:
root@beaglebone:~# date
Thu Dec 28 22:14:56 CET 2017TIA
Thanks.
I'll wait for a new botic kernel
Based on:
Setting the Beaglebone Black (BBB) Time Automatically using NTP | derekmolloy.ie
I installed ntp and set ntpd and ntpdate services. After that it seems like date/time is correct.
Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to update to the latest MPD/MPC with Botic (4.8.13-botic7-rc3), so to enjoy the latest features there? I like to use a minimal interface to play music, so either mpc directly or ympd which is available on Botic's system.
Thanks!

Knut

Hi, I may be mistaken, but there is no easy way to get latest MPD on current Botic image.
I had to go the long route - write vanilla Debian image onto SD card, then build the latest MPD from source, and apply the Botic driver.
I can post detailed instruction, if you (or someone else) need one.
Thanks,
Fedor

Sorry for the delay, here it is.
I'd like to point out that I'm not a Linux guru, so some commands in this instruction may be redundant or doing nothing
1. Download latest Debian image for BBB. I've used this one - http://debian.beagleboard.org/images/bone-debian-9.3-iot-armhf-2018-03-05-4gb.img.xz
2. Write it to the SD card using Win32DiskImager, if on Windows. Should be something similar for MAC
3. It may be a good time to expand the partition to which the image was written. I've used Partition Guru, as it can work with SD cards and Linux file systems.
4. Plug SD card into the BBB, connect the ethernet cable, and power on. From now on I'm using connection to BBB over SSH by using Putty.
5. The default login-password is debian/temppwd. One can use these credentials all the way, but I was too lazy to type sudo on every command, so I've just enabled root:
6. Enable root over SSH:
7. Download and install latest Botic:
8. Edit uEnv.txt
Then
9. Prior to compiling MPD, there are some dependencies that must be installed:
10. Download MPD (the files will be downloaded into your home directory, so if under root, it will be in "root" dir):
Either from official site, where tested versions are stored:
11. Now comes the fun part:
Here I've disabled almost all plugins, except for the ones that are needed for music reproduction (I've tried experimenting with Tidal, but the plugin is still beta, so didn't work).
Please note, that if you'll want to enable some of the plugins, it's quite possible that you will need to install additional libraries (step 9) to support this plugin.
Now this command will take a lot of time, something like 20-30 minutes, since our BBB is not really fast (I know that you could compile it on your desktop PC using cross-compiling, but just didn't have time to research this any further)
So after it compiles succesfully, doing
12. Now we need to create all the directories and files for MPD to work:
13. Also, we need a user named "mpd":
14. Then we need a startup script (), it should be placed in /etc/init.d directory (named "mpd" in attached zip)
15. Make this script executable, and update main startup script, so that our "mpd" script will launch after reboot:
16. We need to grant permissions for our mpd user to change the files in /run/mpd/, so we need to put "mpd.conf" into /etc/tmpfiles.d/ (it's in the attached zip, it's not the config of mpd, it's some script that runs on system startup)
17. We need to enable mpd.service daemon:
18. Also, you will need to configure your mpd.config with music directory and output device:
19. Reboot, and mpd should work. Try to connect to it via some client app.
I think this is it. I've omitted the setup of network interfaces (it's DHCP by default, but you may need to change it to static or wifi, etc.), shares and mounts, as this is all varies between users.
Troubleshooting:
there are several places where something can go wrong:
1. Installing the dependencies. Well, we all know that Linux is better than Windows in all possible ways (at least that's what Linux guys tell us) but it gets really nasty if some dependency depends on some lib, and this lib conflicts with other lib, and so on. So when I'm presented with some error when doing "apt-get install" I would just google the error message, as I don't know better. But, if using only the stable repository (default config of apt-get) in the sources list - it should not be a problem.
2. When running configure - if there are errors, it would mean that some dependency lib is not installed, and you should run apt-get install <lib>
3. When building - now this is also tricky, and I would just google if anything goes wrong.
4. When starting mpd service - you can test starting the mpd by running "service mpd start" if there are some errors, you could see detailed info by running "systemctl status mpd.service", and then again, google
Not much of a troubleshooting section I guess
That's it, the scripts in the attached zip are coming from mpd Debian package, so they are not mine
Thanks,
Fedor
PS. I forgot to mention - I was using WinSCP to upload and edit files on the BBB. It's much easier than doing editing via nano.

Just look into the /boot/uEnv.txt of your SD card, at the bottom of which you'll find the line like below:
#cmdline=init=/opt/scripts/tools/eMMC/init-eMMC-flasher-v3.sh
Just comment out this line and then boot from this SD card. After that the card will flash the eMMC and the contents of the SD card will be all copied to it. This way, you can always boot from the on-board eMMC.

No, there's nothing apart from MPD. You'll need something like Cantata Releases * CDrummond/cantata * GitHub
