I have received my B3 but had to pay import duty of £50 - bit of a stinger.

Have installed it and it is now running email and file server/ house web-server. I wanted to make the old B2 my web development and squeezebox server ( I am currently using a raspberry pi).

I have put a 1TB seagate disk ...

I have at last retrieved my files - or at least most of them. There seems to be a disk failure around my email program directory - luckily I have rsync daily backups on the email data directory so okay and also daily backups on my documents; music and pictures. rsync is a life saver.

A lot of ...

Thanks very much for the info. I will try it out once I have managed to recover the files which is proving difficult. Waiting to see how photorec gets on.

The LVM partition has been found and patched as a lvm pv photorec recognises it as ext.... hope that is right.

my mainstay at home is the B2 ( used for many many years) which holds all the files, my home web-sites and most important a roundcube installation which holds all my history emails.

This morning the hard disk on the B2 failed. Not sure if the disk failure was from the disk or the B2. I have been ...

Thanks I'll look into it.

Could you let me know where you get the singapore php app from? I searched and seem to get primarily photos of Singapore

I have been for a while using SyncToy a windows utility for incrementally backing up across the network from Bubba 2 to a disk on the windows machine. This is understandably slow and requires my presence. However it does mean I can store a backup off site.

I have the requirement for an automatic ...

The PI (model b) is completely built.A case ( transparent is best so you can see the LEDs) are many and it easy to press the board in and put the lid on. You also buy a memory card and a power supply ( this must be good quality). You load an operating system using an image which you 'image' on the ...

Well I have managed an upgrade. To get the usb stick to start I needed to remove the network and then reconnect.
Now to re-build the apps starting with roundcube and the x-client.

Is there any way I can upgrade the Squeezebox server without upgrading B2? I have a few applications loaded/ built like Roundcube, personal photo album etc not in the /home directory so would need to move all of these. As the box is going well at the moment perhaps an upgrade to squeezebox server is ...

Thanks for the note. I had hoped this was not the case. I guess I will need to look at the impact on my mail client etc to see if it is worth it.

Thanks.

My B2is currently on 2.0.5. This is somewhat behind the current release. I wanted to upgrade to the latest. However the update page in admin says I am up to date. Can anyone let me know what to do to upgrade to latest.

I actually want the latest release of LMS.
Thanks

I thought you might be interested in how I am using my Bubba 2 for a sound system. I have been using it as a general NAS, also a mail server with roundcube and various home grown web based systems such as a Christmas postage list ( fairly topical at the moment), personal picture gallery as the ones ...

I'll give it a try.

I have been a UNIX kernal programmer (telephone api) in the days before X was normal ( so I am really old) so using xterm and all the ksh/csh/bash, grep ,sed, find,top etal commands including vi is second nature.

However we do not live in that world any longer and I believe a more graphical ...
