| 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!):
* [[Cygwin quickstart|Install cygwin]]
        1) hardcode all wan info and hope your network doesn't over-assign (this sucks)
* Disable automatic restarts
        2) DCHP WAN, bridge lan so ports just become another switch
Install Group Policy Editor from an admin Powershell console:
        3) DCHP WAN, serve up lan on different range than WAN
@echo off
            this is AWESOME, you can immediately admin from anything that you hardwire up to the LAN ports
pushd "%~dp0"
            set up a WAN static IP using WAN MAC if you can
            otherwise, to get WAN IP:
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientExtensions-Package~3*.mum >List.txt
                    i can connect laptop to LAN port and get a 192.168.1 address on laptop from router DHCP
dir /b %SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\Microsoft-Windows-GroupPolicy-ClientTools-Package~3*.mum >>List.txt
                    then i can connect PA LAN to router WAN port and get router IP from
               
for /f %%i in ('findstr /i . List.txt 2^>nul') do dism /online /norestart /add-package:"%SystemRoot%\servicing\Packages\%%i"
    steps:
pause
        * reset buffalo as needed!
Run Group Policy Editor to disable restarts:
            it always starts with LAN DHCP support for 192.168.1 range, yeah baby
Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update > Configure Automatic Updates
            wire laptop into LAN port and browse to 192.168.1.1
(o) Enabled
        * set up to get WAN IP via DHCP; make note of it using LAN connection: 192.168.50.57
  [2] Notify for download and auto install?  Or [3] Auto download and notify for install?  Going with [3], we'll see.
        * Allow ssh from WAN IPs to router
(or...) (o) Enabled: No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installations
            openwrt admin page->Network->Firewall->Traffic rules->"open ports on router"
---
                name: allow-wan-ssh
No auto-restart with logged on users for scheduled automatic updates installation (just in case)
                Protocol: TCP+UDP
  (o) Enabled
                external port: 22 (i could make it non-standard...)
---
                ADD
  (reboot if you had to change it?  or will that wipe it out?  tbd...)
            then you can ssh to the WAN DHCP port, if you know it! for now, it's:
In a corporate environment, you should quit your job - I mean, you will likely have to redo this after ANY f'in reboot.
                ssh root@192.168.50.57
        * 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

| The easiest way is to add a new drive just for OpenElec and install OpenElec to it with the installer.  But if you want to SHARE ONE DRIVE with other boots, DO NOT DO THAT :-) Do this instead:
| It should be on red-on-black flash drive.  Or, [https://www.memtest86.com/download.htm get a fresh download] of USB zip, it includes a Windows exe to create the boot.  Or use the ISO.
* On an existing refind-booted system, set up two new ext4 partitions
** one about 2GB in size, labeled [SYSTEM], and marked as bootable
** the other with 10GB or more, labeled [STORAGE]
** [http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php/Manual_Installation prep the drives] (no journal, ssd trim)
* download openelec and mount; there are a couple ways:
** get the img and install to a thumb
** get the img and mount (see below)
* Set up OE drives to mount in other OSes to /openelec-system and /openelec-storage
/dev/disk/by-label/SYSTEM  /openelec-system  ext4 noatime 0 0
/dev/disk/by-label/STORAGE /openelec-storage ext4 noatime 0 0
* copy target/KERNEL and target/SYSTEM to SYSTEM
cp OpenELEC_img/target/KERNEL /openelec-system/
cp OpenELEC_img/target/SYSTEM /openelec-system/

# create an instance of a snapshot
Example...
    instances -> pa-jenkins-win-test -> right-click, Create Image ->
        {
            name: pa-jenkins-win-test,
            AMI ID: ami-57cadc3d

    This creates a new "AMI Image"- WARNING: The source machine will be rebooted!
    monitoring it, waiting for it to be ready... ready.  man that took a while. 
    Select AMI -> rightclick -> Launch...
        instance type: t2.medium (same as original; 2 vCPUs, 4GB mem)
        config: SELECT THE SAME SUBNET (us-east-1d) so on the same LAN and can ping each other; (all other defaults)
        storage: (default)
        tag instance: { name: "pa-jenkins-win-test-older" }
        security: select existing { "pa-shared immed_inno_group raleigh-windows-dev" } (as per Brad, previously - note that "raleigh" is no longer available)
        LAUNCH
        ---
        select an existing key pair or create a new pair
            let's use the existing ones since this is a shared resource
            2014Dec25_air.pem (it's in my docs repo)
        ----
        monitor it, wait for it to be created...
        because it was cloned from a machine that had the password changed, you can't use the existing key to regenerate
        i didn't realize it was changed??
        anyway, it should be the exact same way to connect to test, but with a diff ip/hostname (*-older)
        yep.  switched IP to 172.30.3.208 and it's good to go!

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
