1.) This Gentoo B3 1.18 has faster responses on my home Internet. Nice surprise, nimble.
Temperature of the server is warmer (45-50° C) according to B3 interface.


Corresponds to what I see on my own system. 45°C on the production system with 3TiB Red disk, 48° on the dev machine with 2TiB Green ...

As always, a few hiccups — along the way !

bubbagenb3img-1.18.0.xz

I used MS Windows tools (XZ Util and Win32 Disk Imager, noted with instructions),
and found that De-compressed image file was missing its “.img” extension.
Renaming the file (adding the img), corrected that surprise.
So, the ...

Thanks.

It's actually pretty tricky to offer updates through the GUI or even schedule to run automatically because sometimes updates want to change etc files which should always be reviewed in person and the routine would come to a halt because of this.

Gordon,
Thank you for this work.
I intend to upgrade one of my B3 servers (running 1.14.5) later this month.
We will see how the process goes (What did I forget?)

I will do Live USB First, before committing to writing to server’s HD with backup files.

Hi, sorry about that. Turns out I had made a small typing error in the file name. Link should be fine now.

Hi,

I've just released version 1.18 of the Bubbagen live-USB image for B3 on GitHub.

What is new?
Well, nothing really. And at the same time everything. Shortly after the 1.17 release in which I took a ...

Hi,

While it has proven to be impossible to maintain a full working Live-USB for the Bubbagen system using systemd init ¹) the switch to Gentoo's Profile 23 seemed to important to let pass and so together with me publishing Bubbagen version 1.18 I have added a "vanilla" Gentoo on B3 Systemd edition ...

I only can install Bookworm with 10Gb space.
I want to use the whole disk with Debian bookworm.

As stated in the install.ini file :
## size (default: 10; minimal 8): size of system partition to create in GiB (if applicable). Use 'full' to use
## all the available space.
You need to set size ...

Hi,

What is new?
The big news from last month was that Logitech has decided to take down the MySqueezebox and UEradio sites ...

I ran some tests and it turns out the the fallback address method doesn't really work as expected (any more)

One of the things I noted is that the DHCP client does not execute the exit hooks when it issues the fallback address. It also turns out that the DHCP server is in fact not started when the ...

My suggestion is that you simply clone your current disk rather than start from scratch. Since the Bubba series has always used 'green' disks there should not be a real issue finding a disk with the same size as these are still pretty standard in USB enclosures. You could in fact buy one of those ...

Hi,

I've just released an update to version 1.16 of the Bubbagen live-USB image for B3 on GitHub.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gordonb3/cache/master/Bubba/bubbagen-screenshots.jpg

This is purely a maintenance update bringing all packages up to date as of August 20, 2023.

As before, two ...

Obvious I run Gentoo :roll:

I actually initially started making the Bubba packages compliant with newer Debian but I found creating and maintaining Debian packages way too complicated to my taste. The original leg work for the Gentoo image was done by a girl who identified as Sakaki, who also ...

The comment about SSD is not completely accurate. Hardware wise there is no limitation, however U-Boot must recognize the drive's firmware in order to be able to boot from it. This is usually not the case with modern price friendly SSDs. The community U-Boot should be able to recognize a lot more ...

So what's the correct procedure to update the system?


The recommended way is to use Sakaki's `genup`. The manual alternative is to use:
eix-sync
emerge -1avuND --with-bdeps=y @world


You may be prompted that some packages reference libraries for which newer versions have been installed. This ...
