I installed it a while ago on my Openframe 2 box with a Avaya boot flash rom. All of my Jogglers / Openframe boxes now use the Avaya or Seabios boot.

The 1Gb and 2 Gb machines would work fine if I did not update them then fail with errors after updating. Gone now to only using USB sticks for Bullseye.

Thanks for your response Pete :)

I too use usb sticks but would have appreciated more feedback :(

Ah well !....sigh ;)

Well thinking that an old version of Bullseye is on the Openframe 2 so will install it new to the 2Gb eMMC in the next couple of days.

And tell you how it goes.

Just had a look and will mount it...

Well pulled the USB stick and watched it boot...boots to a command prompt fine. I did use "reflash" to do this a few months ago.

That said now remember that I replaced the combo mini pcie card with this one on Amazon. It is working fine.

7260HMW WiFi Card, Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Mini PCIe Network Adapter with Bluetooth 4.0 Support Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows 7, WiFi Module Work with Laptop/Notebook

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09H5 ... UTF8&psc=1

I used a plastic wedge tools to pry up the touchscreen and take apart the Openframe.

OK installed latest version of Bullseye on the Openframe 2.

bul-ext2-1028-43-bullseye-5.10.158op

Went well. Some steps that I did.

1 - enabled the new Intel WiFi combo bluetooth card. Works well.

sudo apt install firmware-iwlwifi
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
sudo dmesg

2 - configured boot yaml file with WLAN SSID and password IE: /boot/network.yaml

3 - still static from main speakers and no sound from main speakers

Fixed the static by editing following file.

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
and added this which got rid of the static.
options snd-hda-intel model=generic

4 - installed script manually line by line copying and pasting script to text file first then running it line by line. x windows and squeezeplayer installed fine.

5 - Did not expand to 2Gb and left it alone for now.

6 - Shutdown just restarts Squeezeplayer

7 - Reboot just restarts Squeezeplayer

Works the same as with 32Gb stick. Will leave it for now.

Sound works via earphone jack just fine.

Code: Select all

Pushing space a bit so expanding it to the 2Gb.

Way I do this is just boot up and ssh with x options, install gparted and run it via SSH.

Thanks for all the info Pete.

I'll try and find out why I get the "image not recognised" message.

I think I read somewhere, that doing the "blind typing" exercise may restore things.

I'm thinking of making an image on a usb stick, copying and shrinking it, give this image a hash and then usong "reflash" to install it to the internal ram.

Don't hold your breath :)

What "image not recognized"?

You are copying both the compressed gz file and md5 file over to your reflash boot stick eh?

I did initially only copy the compressed image over and it did not install.

Your USB stick may be corrupt.

I think I read somewhere, that doing the "blind typing" exercise may restore things.

The blind typing thing is used to boot via EFI to your USB stick. This is when your boot rom if f'd up. Here is where I use the Avaya EFI boot rom or the Seabios 86 boot rom. Boot rom is soldered in place on the Openframe 2 versus the O2 Joggler.



Resizing script never worked for me. Always manually resized or used GParted.

LMS here is running on Ubuntu Server with MythTV. Ubuntu server now is a Lenova Tiny M900 with 32Gb of RAM and Gb, WiFi and Bluetooth. It is a small footprint desktop converted to a server.

Redoing it again. This time resizing it right away. Then configuring an xrdp desktop that I can remote to and seeing if this all fits on the 2Gb partition.

BTW you should replace the old WLAN / Bluetooth card with an "el cheapo" Intel combo bluetooth card. They are around $10 these days.

There are traces on the motherboard for an SD card holder and did connect a USB port on the top video connector and it worked fine.

Ideally an SD card mounted inside would work nicely.

This time installed a lite desktop and and it all fit fine on the Openframe 2. Ideally a perfect hard mod add would be to use an internally mounted SD card or USB stick leaving the external USB port free. Even soldering a PATA port to the traces on the motherboard would be a tight fit for an SSD card. I did do this on my play Openframe2 motherboard which is no longer in a case. I was going to use this one for a wall mounted touchscreen maybe ....

One other issue is that I cannot shut down or reboot via the Squeezeplay menu. I can though logging in via SSH and running the script.
The left top button shuts off the screen which works fine.

Well today I found an old SD card that worked in a usb card holder and managed to install the Bullseye image to the internal memory of my cisco joggler.

of-expand does not work AT ALL

I tried install a lxde desktop but that kept running out of room

I have spent at least five hours trying this: it's not worth it.

I'm totally baffled and I'm seriously thinking it's time to bin the bloody thing!

time to pack in for the day, what a waste of time

Good news!

of-expand does not work AT ALL

Don't expand it to 2Gb as Squeezeplayer fits fine at 1Gb. OR Boot up with an Ubuntu stick with desktop and use GParted to expand the partition to 2Gb or do it the manual command line way.

1 - https://jwills.co.uk/category/o2-joggler/
2 - https://www.golinuxcloud.com/extend-res ... lvm-linux/

Once expanded a lite Linux desktop will work fine. That said if its only a Squeezeplayer then leave it a 1Gb.

I redid mine a third time and for time bean left it alone at 1 Gb.

Thanks for being supportive Pete, I'll look at those links over the weekend.

My aim is to install Jivelite; I'm not bothered about Squeezeplay, maybe LMS also (I have the 32bit binaries).

This is a snap of the error message if roobarb! gets time to look into the problem. The joggler just goes into a boot loop.

Same here when I have used the script.

GParted will not fit with the 1Gb partition. So create an old Ubuntu 14 boot stick and use GParted to extend the partition. You have to boot from a USB hub when you do this so that you can utilize a wireless Keyboard.

Not totally sure what JiveLite is. Can I run it in place of Squeezeplayer?

I run LMS on an Ubuntu computer with MythTV.

Jivelite is the UI part of SqueezePlay - no player.

Here is the manual way via command line:

1 - boot up with new partition
2 - ssh to Openframe
3 - sudo nano /etc/fstab
4 - make it look like this:

Code: Select all

#
# Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier
# for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name

5 - reboot

6 - ssh to your Openframe2

7 - check the set up and type

df -h

Code: Select all

tmpfs            50M     0   50M   0% /run/user/1000
8 - then type

fdisk -l

All we care about looking is this part:

Code: Select all

Note the size of the mmcblk2 partition and what the OS is actually using above.

9 - try to unmount the partition and you will see that you cannot.

type umount /

Code: Select all

root@openframe:/home/of# umount /
umount: /: target is busy.
10 -

All what needs to be done is take a note of a starting sector of a current partition, which in our case is 83985. Remove the partition and recreate a new, larger partition starting from sector 83985 . For this we are simply going to use fdisk command. Let’s start by printing again our current partition table:

11 - next you want to look at the partition to make sure you have your starting sector mentioned above correct.

Code: Select all

root@openframe:/home/of# fdisk /dev/mmcblk2

Once again please take a note of the starting sector 83985. Still in fdisk‘s interactive mode remove partition.

NOTE: if you mess this up then start all over again writing the OS back to the Openframe2 with the USB stick and rebooting again and SSHing again to the Openframe.

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
    e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
 or
    e2fsck -b 32768 <device>

Found a dos partition table in /dev/mmcblk2
So expanding the partition with a boot Ubuntu USB stick works fine. Not so with command line.

I've installed LMS v8.3.1 and using Local Player Plugin to playback to a Topping DX 3 Pro dac (headphones). Updated the squeezelite version in Local Player

That'll do for a while now. ;)
