Re: [Other] Asterisk/openwrt on Seagate Dockstar

FWIW, dd didn't work for me. I had to use tar to get it working.

So you did get it to work? How?

Using the tar file from »Re: [Other] Own a FreeSwitch on a Seagate DockStar for $24.99

For example, using ubuntu and firefox to get it.
wget seems to pull a corrupt file, FF works to retrieve it.

usa2k@ubuntu:~/Downloads$ bunzip2 -d openwrt-kirkwood-rootfs.tar.bz2 
sync
 

I tried making a new USB like before but the steps seemed hazy to retrace.
I *think* the USB seemed to need formatting before doing a tar command.

On ubuntu the usb gets mounted automatically.
Right clicking the Icon and choosing Format gets a small gui window that allows FAT, Ext2, Ext4, and an encryption choice.
I selected the "DisK Utility" button on this gui that launches a fancier gui.
This gui even tells me its at /dev/sdb1

I unmounted the volume from the gui
Then chose format. Now the small gui let me choose EXT3
and I named the volume dockstar
and unchecked a "Take ownwership button" (not sure what that does?)

From the gui I select mount and the gui tells me its mounted at /media/dockstar

Then at a command line interface (Accessories => Terminal)
cd ~/Downloads
sudo tar -xvf openwrt-kirkwood-rootfs.tar -C /media/dockstar
 

It should finish without errors.

Telnet works without a password until you goto the IP address with a browser and in the Administration, then System => Admin Password you set a new password.

jjoshua,

Are you using openwrt or PlugPBX? I looked at the boot-log that you posted and noticed that it has a debian kernel, so it is likely that you are using an image from »www.plugpbx.org

The detailed instructions mazilo has posted, and the little bit of info I have posted, both are specific to openwrt. Please let us know which version you are using, so we can chime in accordingly.

cheers,
-m

You can combine the bunzip2 with tar to extract a tar.bz2 file as follows:
tar -jxf <filename>.tar.bz2 [-C directory]

Thanks mazilo. I kept getting an error, but I think that was trying a bad download having used wget.

I was trying to get plugpbx to work.

FYI, plugpbx is now supporting the dockstar. The forum is here:
»forums.plugpbx.org/index.php?board=10.0

Basically, you follow the instructions to create a USB drive with debian and then follow the instructions to install asterisk and freepbx.

Cool and thanks for the heads up.
