Hi, this is Archer 72
|
||
|
|
and I'd like to thank HPR for providing the servers to record to.
|
||
|
|
Welcome to Hacker Public Radio. I'm calling this one for my entertainment.
|
||
|
|
I have a file server that's running Slackware current version on Pi4.
|
||
|
|
I wanted to make movies and TV shows
|
||
|
|
that are accessible on the TV without using TV or Blu-ray.
|
||
|
|
It would give my wife and I a chance to sit and watch a show without much plus.
|
||
|
|
The latest show we are on is Sutamus FBI.
|
||
|
|
The main character, Sue, has been deaf from about the age of four years.
|
||
|
|
She is now adept at reading lips and learning to speak despite being deaf.
|
||
|
|
So that gets her in the FBI and gets her some work.
|
||
|
|
Far as the hardware.
|
||
|
|
The Pi2 is enclosed and stripped out power supply that had died on me at one point.
|
||
|
|
The fan still works so I wired it into the Pi on the 5-volt line
|
||
|
|
so it runs about half the speed it was designed for.
|
||
|
|
But that makes it almost silent.
|
||
|
|
With the heatsinks added, it stays around 35 Celsius when I don't.
|
||
|
|
And 50 Celsius when I'm in coding video.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise, networking I have both Pi's connected via Ethernet.
|
||
|
|
One is on 192.168.2.5 with a gateway of 192.168.2.6
|
||
|
|
with the other just swapped on the opposite.
|
||
|
|
So it's essentially a crossover network.
|
||
|
|
The reason for this is running Coding on Pi4.
|
||
|
|
I had tried an ad-chomp video.
|
||
|
|
It is better running video coding.
|
||
|
|
So I linked it to the Pi3 running Coding via some of the share on the Pi4.
|
||
|
|
I found out that I could use OSMC which is open source media center for the Coding interface.
|
||
|
|
It was a lot more stable on the Pi3 and it booted right into the Coding interface
|
||
|
|
which is something I was looking for.
|
||
|
|
I'll leave a link to download the image in the show notes.
|
||
|
|
They did LSBLK which lists block devices and DD with status equals progress
|
||
|
|
with the input file of the image output file of what you saw on the block device.
|
||
|
|
Installing SlackWars is a little bit more complex but not too much.
|
||
|
|
I made a SlackArm mount point and mounted the device that had the SlackWars sources onto that mount point and CD into it.
|
||
|
|
And then there's a command that's shown on the website about doing an R-Sync to get the sources from the FTP site.
|
||
|
|
And the site is called Fat Dog and it says don't forget the period at the end of the R-Sync command or it won't work.
|
||
|
|
I also made a directory called Extras under that SlackArm that I just put the new sources into.
|
||
|
|
That's under that SlackArm directory.
|
||
|
|
What I put in that directory for the Extras was the system packages that are shown on the show notes.
|
||
|
|
After getting all my sources and extras then I can boot up the mini-root with an extra SD card which is what I intend to put SlackWars onto.
|
||
|
|
And after mounting that second SD card you list it by the LSBLK command again.
|
||
|
|
And in most cases it should show devMMCBLK0 as the partition that you want to run the CFDISCON.
|
||
|
|
My particular ran about the P1 portion of it, partition of it, I had put 150 megs because I had a 4GB RAM.
|
||
|
|
I put the partition 2 as 4GB and then after I exit it out of CFDISC I run and make FS.VFET on the partition 1 to get a FET32 partition and make SWAP MKSWAP on the partition 2.
|
||
|
|
From there it's just a matter of running the installer and picking where you want your SWAP to be and where you want the partition to you want the SlackWars put onto.
|
||
|
|
And then from there just let it run its course and it takes an hour or two so you just want to go get a coffee and configure some of it later.
|
||
|
|
I put a little bit of an example of how I did it.
|
||
|
|
And with that particular OSMC I had problems with staying connected to the Wi-Fi network or automatically connected when it booted.
|
||
|
|
And so I ran, brought a mini little script to connect it to the network and then wrote a system D file to start it automatically and boot.
|
||
|
|
That's about all I did.
