SqueezePlay OS (Version 3) for OpenFrame

[hawsey]

Username is root threw me , in there I had joggler and joggler as password , that's it , I got root access and changed the file ,
Thanks , I told you I was not very good
I'll move on to the next bit now .

[hawsey]

So I logged back in to putty as root and typed what you said and it says device write protected .



Could that be the HH5 firewall or something like that ?
My folder is actually in capitals MUSIC , would that make any difference ?

[castalla]

Which folder is in CAPITALS ?

[hawsey]

192.168.1.254/usb2/MUSIC

[castalla]

That message is a new one to me! Need to back up a bit ....

1. The HDD is on the router usb ?

2. Can you 'see' the HDD in Windows, eg. file explorer?

3. Are user and password set for HDD access ? or is it accessible as guest/anonymous ?

[hansel]

Can you do a

Code: Select all

sudo cat /etc/fstab

in JuiceSSH app and let us have a look at the output? To check you entered the correct path.

[castalla]

192.168.1.254/usb2/MUSIC

Try changing the fstab line (as root!) to

//192.168.1.254/usb2/MUSIC /mnt/music cifs username=guest,password=

Save

Then in putty

mount -a

[castalla]

Linux is utterly literal - there is no leeway! Commands have to be point perfect - it just does what you tell it without any interpretation!

[hansel]

login in PuTTY/JuiceSSH as joggler/joggler and type:

Code: Select all

sudo vi /etc/fstab

with your cursor go to the last line and type

Code: Select all

i

This will put you in insert mode. Now you can type text en delete with backspace like normal.
In the end, when all editing is done, type

Code: Select all

:wq

this will write the file (save) and quit the editor.

[hawsey]

Guys , I have to go off line until later tonight , I checked and the folder is def accessible from a shortcut on my phone , it is all on a HDD in a folder called MUSIC plugged in to the USB port on the HH5 router .
I'll do what you said and get back later ,
Very much appreciated all the help , thank you , I'm sure I'll get there .
Thanks .

[Man in a van]

Don't delete! Just cancel or ESC out

Did you login on winSCP as root ?

Also, be careful to include spaces in the line

//192.168.1.254/usb2/music SPACE /mnt/music SPACE cifs SPACE username=guest,password=

When I use Winscp, either as user or root I select SCP (as File protocol) when logging in.

Just a suggestion, I don't want to overburden thread with too many cooks

[castalla]

I don't think that's the issue!

It's either the path was wrong (which it was) or the router/HDD isn't using cifs

We'll see ....

[hawsey]

Right if anyone is about , a couple of things after I typed cifs should the username bit be on another line , or just a space between them .
The HH5 Music folder is picked up no problem if I run LMS on W7 on my Acer Revo , don't know if that helps any .
Also if I right click on the path and paste it it shows something like \\Hh5\usb2\music , I noticed they are back slash not forward and it is HH5 not 192.168.1.254.
There was lots of advice before but not sure what to try next .
Ah and also looking on the Joggler the LMS is now running but obviously without the music .

[castalla]

Okay.

The joggler needs to access the hdd - this is done by mounting the hhd folder - fstab does this automatically. So, we need to know the hdd address.

Can you try this line in fstab - it's all one line and observe the spaces! Don't type SPACE! I'm indicating where there has to be a space!


//192.168.1.254/usb2 SPACE /mnt/music SPACE cifs SPACE username=guest,password=


Save file

Putty login and type

sudo mount -a

Any errors?

[castalla]

Linux is literal

HHS is not the same as Hhs !!!

We need the exact name - but the ip address should work, if it doesn't then we can try the name in fstab

[hawsey]

\\Bthub5\usb2\MUSIC is what it is Copy and pasted

[castalla]

This is getting very confusing! You've given three different names so far! HSS, HhS, and now Bthub5 !!!

Which is it???

Did you try the ip address as above ?

[hawsey]

Apologies , what i meant before when i said it is something like HH5 was just that it wasnt an ip address the actual path is above , copied and pasted , i was on my phone before and just thinking of ideas .
If i type 192.168.1.254 in to a browser , i get access to my Home Hub 5 .
This is what it is
\\Bthub5\usb2\MUSIC

[hawsey]

Yes i tried the above address with the same results .usb2 is write protected etc

[castalla]

Okay - let's try this in fstab (SPACE is space !)

//Bthub5/usb2/MUSIC SPACE /mnt/music SPACE cifs SPACE username=guest,password=


Save file

In putty

sudo mount -a

If no errors, then

dir /mnt/music
