robacklin / debian-for-alix Goto Github PK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install "alternate version" as indicated
2. boot your alix
3. remountrw, and proceed to apt-get install
4. everything works like charm
5. reboot.
6. your service (ie. munin-node) fails to start, since necessary 
/var/log/whatever/whatever.log is missing

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
expected normal operation, found new services failed to start

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Alix-on-Debian Alternate version on an Alix device

Please provide any additional information below.
Not to say that as soon as you remountrw, touch missing logfile, the wanted 
service starts and run fine until reboot

"rebind" does not exist:

root@alix:~#: remountrw
root@alix:~#: rebind on
root@alix:~#:  -bash: rebind: command not found
-bash: -bash:: ommand not found

Is "rebind" not necessary (Wiki outdated) or is it missing?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. After update with apt-get homepage dont work. 
2. No Systemmonitor,,,->  side download error
3.

Hello, 
Congratulations for your wonderful work creating this image for Alix boards.
I burned the debian-for-alix-cf2g-2012-11-08.raw.bz2 to my Alix 2c0 board 
successfully.
I had modified my Alix 2c0 board by adding 2 USB ports and a 5V, 1 Ampere power 
supply on board. The two USB ports work ok with your operating system.

How can I install DownloadDaemon (download manager) to my Alix 2c0 ?
http://downloaddaemon.sourceforge.net/

There is a GUI remote for Downloaddaemon that controls DownloadDaemon and runs 
on windows PC.

Thanks in advance!

I want to access on alix box from external and I choose these rules:

remountrw

HTTP (80)
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT 
--to-destination 172.16.210.254

HTTPS (443)
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 443 -j DNAT 
--to-destination 172.16.210.254

SSH (22)
iptables -A INPUT -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 22 -j DNAT 
--to-destination 172.16.210.254

remountro

But after reboot Alix loose the rules...

Thanks a lot for your work and your help

Let me start saying that i'm not sure this is the best place to ask help, but 
actually i didn't find a better way, so if this is a terribly wrong for this 
kind of help request, please just point me to the best way to contact 
developers for this project, thanks; now, the "issue":  

I used the alternate image of debian-for-alix for a router/gw on an alix 2D13

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

As i'm going to use this debian-for-alix as a router/gw at home, my original 
idea was to set the first led as heartbeat, the second as ide-disk and the 
third one with netdev on eth0 (the "wan") linking tx and rx; unfortunately, 
looks like some modules are not present (ie, i'm interested in ledtrig-netdev 
but googling around i found some others interesting modules (one for morse 
code, that could be used in many ways).. now, before investigating further, i'm 
wondering if there is a reason because you didn't include those modules, so i'm 
asking here before trying to gather info and add what i'm missing, can you help 
? 

thanks

Steps for reproducing the problem

---

1. Set up an ad-hoc wireless network with the ALIX board and a remote machine. 
2. On the ALIX board, run ifconfig and note the number of received packets and 
bytes.
3. Set netcat to listen for UDP packets on some port: nc -l -u -p 1234 
4. On a remote machine, set netcat to send UDP packets to the first machine on 
the same port: nc -u <ip address> 1234
5. Type data on the remote machine and press enter.
6. Observe activity on ALIX and run ifconfig again to see updated packets/bytes.

The same can be done in TCP mode (omit the -u flag).

Behaviour

---

netcat on ALIX should output whatever you typed from the remote machine, and 
the number of packets/bytes should have increased. For me, I'm not seeing any 
output from netcat, but the packets/bytes are increasing as expected.

Since the incoming packets are increasing, I'm assuming that something is 
blocking or redirecting the packets from the application layer. iptables looks 
fine, so I'm not sure where the issue could be.

Additional info

---

I am using debian-for-alix-cf2g.2012-11-08. I am using the ath5k driver for my 
wireless adapter. I also have iw v3.10 installed.

I encountered this problem with software I had written for communicating over 
UDP sockets, not with netcat. But netcat quickly shows that the problem is not 
with my software.

I am currently unable to test anything but wireless ad-hoc connections.

Both machines can ping each other without issue.

When sending from the ALIX board to another system, there is no problem. It's 
only when I am trying to receive. Additionally, if I use another operating 
system on ALIX, such as Ubuntu, there is no problem receiving (or sending).

I have tried disabling all interfaces except the wireless interface by using: 
ifconfig <interface> down, but it still doesn't work.

I have tried different ports. Still nothing.

I have verified with netstat and ss that there is a socket listening on the 
appropriate port.
