February 3, 201412 yr I have had it for quite some time on my unRAID - i just use to go script to copy it from save locations on usb stick to a location in the path Myk Thanks guys. I've pinged Tom an email about nano, it's gona get real tiring real quick not having it.
February 3, 201412 yr Awesome vid!! That's definitely easy enough lol. Was wondering how do we actually edit cfg files on a headless vm install, I guess that's where nano comes in! An editor on terminal.. nvr seen something like that before. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk unRAID doesn't have it pre-installed but I think Tom should consider adding it - infact I'll ask him now it's much user friendly than vi. why not just use mcedit?

February 3, 201412 yr why not just use mcedit? Every guide on the planet a user would see is either vi or nano (mostly nano these days). I don't think 100k or less is worth having to explain / convert all our guides to use mcedit.
February 4, 201412 yr mysql and xbmc are in the default repo's, not a headless version though. I'll leave that up to someone else and get them to send me a compiled pkg of headless XBMC, at which point I'll add it. Mysql is called mariadb in the repo's I think. pacman -S mariadb ironicbadger would this work on the VM http://bootlegninja.awardspace.com/xbmc-server/ Thanks MrLondon

Likely Gotham have settled on a dbase version now but they still may change and sure as guns will change post gotham. XBMC is going the uPnP route over mysql ASAP. I wouldnt want to base my XBMC library architecture on some bespoke compile at its core and then find I couldnt update anywhere until some unsupported core headless version is working again Just do what most people do... virtualise a micro desktop version, change the dirty regions, disable rss, set blank screen saver and then forget about it
February 9, 201412 yr Just do what most people do... virtualise a micro desktop version, change the dirty regions, disable rss, set blank screen saver and then forget about it This virtualized micro desktop version. You mean on your desktop/workstation or on your unRAID server ? I'm starting to think what you suggested will be th easiest way to keep the central library updated at all times. Scraped and artwork all managed as soon as the stuff is downloaded and available to all devices. But can XBMC run without a monitor/keyboard/mouse connected unless it's a specific hacked headless build. Oh, what are these dirty regions you speak of ?
February 9, 201412 yr can anyone test and confirm plex starts and works for them after install. I installed it but the service doe not appear to like starting...

February 9, 201412 yr I've pacmanned (?) dropbox, which took a while since it was installing all sorts of things. Finally, i tried to enable it using systemctl: [root@ArchApplianceVM_v3 opt]# ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 Feb 5 20:02 dropbox drwxr-xr-x 16 sabnzbd sabnzbd 4096 Feb 8 17:21 sabnzbd [root@ArchApplianceVM_v3 opt]# systemctl enable dropbox Failed to issue method call: No such file or directory [root@ArchApplianceVM_v3 opt]# but as you can see it can not find dropbox? What went wrong?
February 9, 201412 yr I try to following this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dropbox#Automatically_starting_Dropbox But have not yet get how to start it and connect my account, do not know yet where to point out where all files should be synced to. //Peter
February 9, 201412 yr @peter, thanks. According to the wiki we should enable & start drop with: systemctl enable dropbox@root systemctl start dropbox@root This seems to start it, but now i want to know where dropbox file location is? I assume somewhere on the arch vm, but where? Does dropbox has a web interface as well? Also, where do i set my dropbox user credentials? The wiki talks about a popup... but my guess is that wont work on this vm
February 9, 201412 yr @jowi Dropbox files are stored in /root/Dropbox after you sync your account. need to find out how to make a symlinc to my disk that I passtrough. How is your systemctl file looks like? and have you got working with systemctl? //Peter
February 9, 201412 yr Author ln -s <destination> <linkname> If the desired link filename is the same as the destination's filename, and the current working directory is the desired location for the link, then you only need: ln -s <destination>
February 9, 201412 yr I like to symlinc /root/Dropbox to /disk1/Dropbox and the proper way is ? got it , in root folder ln -s /disk1/Dropbox ls Dropbox -> /disk1/Dropbox //Peter
February 9, 201412 yr After installing dropbox on the archvm, the vm won't poweroff, i have to use xl destroy. Even xl shutdown archvm wont work. After rebooting the unraid machine, using xl create archvm does start it again, it shows up in xl list, but i can not log on to the arch vm anymore... How do i remove dropbox from the archvm now i can not enter the vm?
February 9, 201412 yr Author you should, then log on to the VM console xl console archVM and type the 'poweroff' command directly into the archVM command line - that way you will likely get some useful console output we can use to help.
February 9, 201412 yr Dropbox, and this works for me.... in /etc/systemd/system, create this file [email protected] and add this text... .include /usr/lib/systemd/system/[email protected] [service] Environment=DISPLAY=%i To start systemctl start [email protected] First time is better to start with dropboxd instead, then you see all the messages is console! (with info to link this computer to your account) or execute this, to see the messages. systemctl status [email protected] and enable systemctl enable [email protected] And to stop systemctl stop [email protected] All synced files are in /root/Dropbox //Peter
February 9, 201412 yr you should, then log on to the VM console xl console archVM and type the 'poweroff' command directly into the archVM command line - that way you will likely get some useful console output we can use to help. Nope... if i do xl console archVM i get: [ 1.342729] i8042: No controller found [ 1.405594] drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) :: running early hook [udev] :: running hook [udev] :: Triggering uevents... :: performing fsck on '/dev/xvda1' /dev/xvda1 contains a file system with errors, check forced.

February 9, 201412 yr Author Looks like you ran one too many xl destroy commands and corrupted your filesystem of the VM! Xl destroy is like yanking the power cord... I'd download the VM again if I were you. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
February 9, 201412 yr @jowi Dropbox files are stored in /root/Dropbox after you sync your account. Nothing is there. Folder is not there. Also, HOW do i even enter my dropbox credentials?
February 9, 201412 yr try to start with dropboxd, then after some time you get a message with a link, this is to activate the computer to your drobbox account. After you have confirm this on your dropbox account, all sync is started. I also verified to drop a file on my dropbox (web page) , it's synced to my VM. I Also deleted files on my VM, and these was removed from my web page. //Peter
February 9, 201412 yr try to start with dropboxd What do you mean? type 'dropboxd' on the command prompt?
