! Set up a new Pi in 10 minutes
|-
| The BEST thing to do is to copy the MicroSD from Carambola (marked with a black 'O'):
* open a terminal so we can watch the MicroSD /dev/sd{#} assignments
sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog
* take the carambola MicroSD card out of the Pi and put it into an Anker hub (gets less hot than the small MicroSD sleeves - and it WILL get hot!)
* put another new MicroSD card into another Anker hub
* open another terminal
dcfldd bs=4M if=/dev/sd{Letter of carambola} of=/dev/sd{Letter of new card}
* They will get HOT... I don't know how to make sure they don't get TOO hot yet... cross your fingers I guess...
* Drop the new card into the new Pi, boot
* set up a new config folder
** rm ~/config
** cd development/config
** cp -rp carambola lime && git add lime
** cd ~ && ln -s development/config/lime config
* change /etc/hostname
* change name of exfat "share" partition
exfatlabel /dev/disk/by-label/carambola_share lime_share
* edit /etc/fstab to update partition name
* (optional) change the uuid of partitions as desired (otherwise you may get kernel/userspace warnings about conflicts when mounting more than one card in an ubuntu host) - note that I've never actually done this...
tune2fs /dev/sdaX -U random
* reboot.. and away we go!

! Set up OpenWRT on buffalo
|-
|
    choices (3 is the only sensible!):
        1) hardcode all wan info and hope your network doesn't over-assign (this sucks)
        2) DCHP WAN, bridge lan so ports just become another switch
        3) DCHP WAN, serve up lan on different range than WAN
            this is AWESOME, you can immediately admin from anything that you hardwire up to the LAN ports
            set up a WAN static IP using WAN MAC if you can
            otherwise, to get WAN IP:
                    i can connect laptop to LAN port and get a 192.168.1 address on laptop from router DHCP
                    then i can connect PA LAN to router WAN port and get router IP from
               
    steps:
        * reset buffalo as needed!
            it always starts with LAN DHCP support for 192.168.1 range, yeah baby
            wire laptop into LAN port and browse to 192.168.1.1
        * set up to get WAN IP via DHCP; make note of it using LAN connection: 192.168.50.57
        * Allow ssh from WAN IPs to router
            openwrt admin page->Network->Firewall->Traffic rules->"open ports on router"
                name: allow-wan-ssh
                Protocol: TCP+UDP
                external port: 22 (i could make it non-standard...)
                ADD
            then you can ssh to the WAN DHCP port, if you know it!  for now, it's:
                ssh [email protected]
        * leave LAN support of 192.168.1 ON
            remember you can simply wire anything into LAN ports to get an address!
            and then you can browse to http://192.168.1.1 to admin the router
        ---
        now i can ssh to it from wallee (or anywhere on PA LAN)   
            ssh [email protected]  root/p*
        ---
        open https port too!  let's admin from wallee
        you have to open WAN port 443 in firewall config
        you also have to install support for this!
            opkg update
            opkg install luci-ssl
            /etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
        but others have commented that this exposes your router and it WILL get hacked.  good point.
        skip for now

No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installation (just in case)

(reboot if you had to change it?  or will that wipe it out?  tbd...)

In a corporate environment, you should quit your job - I mean, you will likely have to redo this after ANY f'in reboot.

Memtest boot disk
It should be on red-on-black flash drive. Or, get a fresh download of USB zip, it includes a Windows exe to create the boot. Or use the ISO.
Ubuntu upgrade / reinstall notes
Create and boot from Ubuntu USB
There should always be a boot USB for this in my set, but it needs recreation on new Ubuntu versions...
  1. Download the latest 64-bit Ubuntu desktop iso
  2. Format a USB drive as FAT (NOT exFAT or NTFS)
  3. Burn the iso to the USB, providing a GB of space (we want to add the nvidia driver once booted)
sudo usb-creator-gtk
  1. Boot with it
  2. On startup, select the USB EFI boot option in refind, select "Try Ubuntu", (on MBPro, hit e and add [ nouveau.noaccel=1] to grub line), hit F10 to start
  3. Once it is running, start System Settings, select Software, enable proprietary drivers
  4. Install, checking the [download as you go] and [install 3rd party stuff] boxes.
Ubuntu set up networking
Install NetworkManager, as the wpagui UI sucks
  • sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
  • YOU MUST remove interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces so wpa gives them up to nm-applet
  • add nm-applet to startup if needed - i don't think it is needed as it seems to start up automatically now - try rebooting first
