My Install
Get the archive
freelink_powerpc-hdhglan-1.11.zip
Flash The The LinkStation firmware flasher
- Disable any firewall(s), including any built-in Windows firewall
- Make sure the LinkStation and your PC are on the same sub-network. This likely requires that you change the IP address (and probably the subnet-mask) of your PC to a different (and static) IP address: 192.186.11.XXX
- Run the firmware updater executable HD-HGLAN FWUpdate-english.exe
- After finding your LinkStation, press the "Renew Firmware" button, and wait. Have patience, and keep your calm. If you think the Firmware updater is acting strange, do not try to disconnect the LinkStation or abort the update in another way.
- After flashing connect your LinkStation up to the network with subnet 192.168.1.XXX
- Find your LinkStation on the network and Telnet to it with PuTTYtel You will be at the root shell.
Freelink - Convert the LinkStation into a Full-fledged Debian Linux Server
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 %h root@LinkStation:/#
Change the root password
passwd root
Get and update with apt-get
apt-get update apt-get install ssh apt-get upgrade apt-get install samba smbfs apt-get install webmin webmin-core webmin-cpan webmin-inetd webmin-logrotate webmin-firewall apt-get install webmin-samba rm /etc/rc2.d/S05utelnetd
Freeing up space on hda1
cp -Rdp /home /mnt rm -R /home ln -s /mnt/home /home cp -Rdp /usr /mnt rm -R /usr ln -s /mnt/usr /usr cp -Rdp /var /mnt rm -R /var ln -s /mnt/var /var
Add Stuff
Correct the system time and setup Network Time Protocol (NTP)
tzconfig apt-get install ntp ntp-simple ntp-server ntpdate
Upgrade to the 2.6-kernel (ppc only)
wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/latest-webinstaller.tar.gz tar -C / -xvzf latest-webinstaller.tar.gz /usr/local/sbin/webinstaller-kernelinst.sh
- REBOOT
Install an Encrypted Filespace with EncFS
wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/fuse_2.5.3-binaries-ppc.tar.gz tar -C / -xvzf fuse_2.5.3-binaries-ppc.tar.gz apt-get install encfs
1. Pick a directory you wish to share ie: /mnt/share and change the access permissions to make it readable and writable to everybody.
mkdir /mnt/share chmod 777 /mnt/share
2. Add the [share] section to /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global] security = share workgroup = MSHOME create mode = 777 directory mode = 777 [share] comment = LinkStation Share path = /mnt/share read only = no public = yes
3. Restart Samba on the Linkstation with this command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/libid3tag_0.15.1b-binaries-ppc.tar.gz wget http://hvkls.dyndns.org/downloads/mtdaapd_0.2.4-binaries-ppc.tar.gz tar -C / -xvzf libid3tag_0.15.1b-binaries-ppc.tar.gz tar -C / -xvzf mtdaapd_0.2.4-binaries-ppc.tar.gz mv /etc/mt-daapd.SAMPLE /etc/mt-daapd
- Then edit /etc/mt-daapd/*. When done,
/etc/init.d/mt-daapd start
Precompiled C development environment, running on the LS
mkdir tmp cd tmp wget http://downloads.linkstationwiki.net/development_tools/ppc-tools-2_1.tgz mkdir devtools cd devtools tar xzvf ../ppc-tools-2_1.tgz ./install.sh wget http://downloads.linkstationwiki.net/kernel_headers/kernel-headers-2.4.20_hglan_htgl-2.0.tar.bz2 tar -C / -xvjf kernel-headers-2.4.20_hglan_htgl-2.0.tar.bz2
USB Palm OS Device as an LCD Display
apt-get install lcdproc apt-get remove lcdproc wget http://lcdproc.omnipotent.net/download/lcdproc-0.4.5.tar.gz tar -xvzf lcdproc-0.4.5.tar.gz cd lcdproc-0.4.5 ./configure make make install
Install Ipkg on the Linkstation (for end-users)
wget http://downloads.linkstationwiki.net/powerpc-hdhlan/powerpc-hdhlan-ipkg-0.99.153-1.tgz tar -C / -xvzf powerpc-hdhlan-ipkg-0.99.153-1.tgz
- Add the following lines to the file /etc/ipkg.conf:
src nslu2-cross-stable http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ds101g/cross/stable/ src nslu2-cross-unstable http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ds101g/cross/unstable/ src nslu2-native-stable http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ds101g/native/stable/ src nslu2-native-unstable http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ds101g/native/unstable/
- then
ipkg update
XBMC - Using Xbox Media Center with the LinkStation
ipkg install ccxstream
- Edit the ccxstream start file and change the username and shared directory for your system
/opt/etc/init.d/S75ccxstream
#!/bin/sh if [ -n "`pidof ccxstream`" ] ; then killall ccxstream 2>/dev/null fi # see /opt/doc/ccxstream/README for the full summary on # command-line options, but the terse summary is that # -r is the directory to "share" using ccxstream, and is # probably the option you most want to adjust. # sleep 2 /opt/sbin/ccxstream -r /mnt/share -u username -f -F /var/run/ccxstream.pid
- Start the ccXStream daemon
/opt/etc/init.d/S75ccxstream
KAID - XLink Kai online gaming for Xbox, 360, PS2 and PSP
wget http://www.teamxlink.co.uk/binary/kaid-ppc-static-libc-2.3.zip unzip kaid-* mv kaid-static* kaid mv kaid /usr/local/sbin chmod 755 /usr/local/sbin/kaid
- create /etc/init.d/kaid
#! /bin/sh export USER="root" NAME=kaid start() { mkdir /var/misc touch /var/misc/kaiSystemConfig.txt touch /var/misc/kaiEnginePersist.txt chmod ugo+w /var/misc/kaiSystemConfig.txt chmod ugo+w /var/misc/kaiEnginePersist.txt su - $USER -c"kaid" } stop() { su - $USER -c"killall kaid" } case "$1" in start) echo -n "Starting Kaid: " start ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping Kaid " stop ;; restart) echo -n "Restarting Kaid " stop start ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/$NAME {start|stop|restart}" exit 1 ;; esac exit 0
- Create a symbolic link to start kaid at every reboot and kill it at every shutdown automaticly:
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/kaid ln -s /etc/init.d/kaid /etc/rc.d/rc0.d/K99kaid ln -s /etc/init.d/kaid /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99kaid ln -s /etc/init.d/kaid /etc/rc.d/rc6.d/K99kaid
- Create /etc/kaid.conf and put in your username/password

S.M.A.R.T. hard drive monitoring
apt-get install smartmontools
- Edit /etc/default/smartmontools
start_smartd=yes
- Edit the smartd config file /etc/smartd.conf
- comment out: DEVICESCAN
- add: /dev/hda -a -H -m root
This little script generates a small bit of html showing a number of system stats

USB devices including CUPS printing, scanners, and webcams
apt-get install hotplug usbview usbutils
Use this perl script to give you a tree of USB devices: http://www.linux-usb.org/usbtree
And use this to convert it to HTML:
#!/bin/bash # usage csv2html.sh (field delimiter) (data file) IFS=$1 echo '<Table border="1">' while read line do echo "<tr>" for word in $line do echo "<td>$word</td>" done echo "</tr>" done <$2 echo "</table>"
Album - Photo gallery generator which has theme support
MarginalHacks/Album: A HTML photo album generator that supports themes. It takes directories of images and creates all the thumbnails and HTML that you need.
apt-get install album
|
- Use wget to get and install this theme
- To use a theme, download the theme .tar or .zip and unpack it.
mkdir /home/httpd/Themes/ cd /home/httpd/Themes/ wget http://marginalhacks.com/Hacks/album/Themes/Dominatrix6.tar.gz tar -xvzf Dominatrix6.tar.gz rm Dominatrix6.tar.gz
- Full resolution images are usually too big for a web album, so we'll use medium images on the image pages:
- Then call album with the -theme option, with or without -theme_path:
album -medium 33% -theme Dominatrix6 /home/httpd/test/Photos album -medium 33% -theme Dominatrix6 -theme_path /home/httpd/Themes/ /home/httpd/test/Photos
