I have my mover for my cache disk run every hour, and it bothered that every time it woke up my array drives, even when there was nothing to move. So added this little tweak; This way it will exit out if there's only 1 folder in /mnt/cache/ (the folder itself) I will elaborate on this in the morning, right now it's way past bedtime.

Who would have thought that getting sound to work was so hard. It turned out I needed a newer version of Alsa. However, getting that to compile was a PITA. I kept getting Unknown Symbol errors on modprobe. Turns out that, contrary to what the alsa guide describes, you have to compile as many alsa modules from the kernel as possible instead of only soundcore. With that done, the alsa 1.0.23 drivers were recognized by the kernel and voila: S/PDIF output. Now... lessee if I can get that USB IR-receiver to work with lirc...

Thread necrofilia, I know, but I just ran into this and since it's the first hit on the search, I thought I'd add my 2 cents. I ran into this after copying a load of files off a ntfs USB drive directly on the machine itself, so no samba was involved. I selected 'preserve Attributes' in midnight commander because I want to keep the original timestamps. I think this may have to do with it. I solved this by going onto my windows box, mounting the share and open a command box (start > Run > cmd) From there, I'd go to the share and run attrib recursively to remove all the unwanted attributes. This way I removed all the System, Hidden and Readonly attributes from all files and directories on the share.

Found it. Appearntly the actually error itself was outputted to the monitor. "useradd: uid 1000 is not unique" Followed by errors from chpasswd and (I guess) smbpasswd. Which is true, since I already added a user account for pulseaudio and xbmc. After removing the account with uid 1000, I could succesfully add a user through the webinterface. Does this qualify as a bug? Or is the amount of people who actually add users themselves too insignificant to matter?

Hey, I was young and put the wrong vars in the wrong places . I misread and didn't know that said IP belongs to opendns, my bad.

Hehe, that would be my guess as well. Question is: which one? I expect one of them to be smbpasswd, but it's both present in /boot/config as in /usr/bin.

Hello all, I'm running a slackware-based unraid install (so maybe this isn't the right forum to post), and I'm having trouble adding users. I've enabled user-level security, but when I try to add a user, the page simply 'reloads', with no user added. I use no 'illegal characters' (according to wiki) in username or password, however the next entries Do appear in syslog; I'm guessing that I did something wrong during the install-to-hdd part and I was hoping someone could point out where, and if necessary, scold me for it

I once had this behavior when I put my external hostname as the search parameter in /etc/resolv.conf What happens is that once the dns lookup can't find the host, it adds that part to it and searches again. That way if my host would be client123.myisp.net it would come up with tower.client123.myisp.net. That way, if a domain couldn't be resolved, it would always come up with my external ip. Very nasty indeed.

And it's working! As it turns out, the glxinfo in slack 13 is a dud, that's why xbmc is complaining. I followed the advice in this post and got it working. I'm still not there yet, as sound isn't working, and I also want to use a usb IR receiver I got from a mediacenter. The latter isn't as important though, since the remotes batteries are dead anyway.

I guess I've been spoiled by things like apt-get and yum, but after a whole night of downloading dependencies (and their dependencies, and Their dependencies) from slackbuilds.org I have compiled a version of XBMC with vdpau support. Unfortunately it's complaining about a lack of openGL when it starts, even though I've installed the nvidia closed source driver. Still, I think this should be doable, and I'm sure that slowly I'll get there.

Ah, it seems like I had the wrong libfuse.so linked, 2.7 instead of 2.8.1... Rebooting now... Aaaaand it works! Sir BRiT... you are truly worthy of you hero subtitle Now on to the daunting task of installing xbmc on top of unRAID...

Tried that, unfortunately it didn't work.

Hello all, I'm trying to get a full slackware install to work, but so far it isn't very kind to me. I followed the wiki, except that instead of Slackware 12.x, I used 13, since I read that unraid is partially based on 13. So far I have unraid up and running from the harddisk, I can navigate the page just fine, and samba is purring happily. However, when it comes to user shares, something goes wrong. I can define usershares, but it seems like Fuse isn't working. I can see the share in the network, however it only has 1.2 GB free space (same amount as / ) instead of the 1.5TB that the disk is offering. I already added rc.fuse to rc.local, just to be sure it's loaded before emhttp, but no difference.
