Attempting a Debian 6 install

Hi,

Found an old PIII laptop so decided to give this a try.

http://linuxsat-support.com/li…l-package-debian-6-a.html

I'm gonna give it a go, probably make a mess of it but if need help hopefully some of you can kindly help me along !

I'm not sure if this hardware is up to much ? Please let me know !

Thanks in advance

Ok Debian is currently installing itself. I decided to use a Centrino laptop instead and have selected webserver ?

It's taking while so whilst it's doing all that a few questions please.

I have smargo, will I need to install serial drivers ? Will I need to change the kernel on it as it's currently set to Dreambox ?

Also, is a pc server much faster than a Dreambox ? I managed to set up an old DM7000 with two smargos on a USB hub. Don't ask me how I did that ! Lots of reading, logic and experimentation got me there in the end.

That works pretty well and ECM's were pretty fast, is this likely to be better ? Actually not sure I need a Debian set up but doing all this because I'm more intrigued more than anything else.

Thanks for your help so far !

Ok Debian webserver onboard.

Running your script now, it's now downloading the webinfo tools but seems to have hung for a while now. Is this normal at this stage ? Does it take a while ?

Ok, it seems to have installed.

I can't ftp via filezilla so am now using CS Studio. Where exactly does the CCcam.cfg go ?

I'm a bit lost now must admit. Trying to follow your steps here but not working for me so am missing something

http://linuxsat-support.com/li…rver-using-cs-studio.html

The tut says copy to Home/CCcam, I can see Home but cannot see CCcam dir in the tree. Do I have to create a folder called CCcam under Home or can I just copy .cfg straight to var/etc (I suspect not) ?

/emu/script/./configupdate.sh
No New Config present, Nothing to process

Many thanks for your help

I've logged in as root, but the folder under home is the alternative name I gave the server. It's not CCCam. On install it asked for a username and strangely that's the folder that resides there.

Otherwise I'm talking to the server and the emu folder has been populated with the CCcam install files.

Something is not quite right, might just do a fresh re-install and try again ?

Adding new folder didn't work, renaming the existing one did !

It created the back up assigned to dir and cccam.cfg now resides in var/etc....phew !

OK, have now attached smargo, default kernel (not Dreambox)

In the config I inserted taken from my Dreambox and changed tts to tty. Is this correct ?

BOXKEY : /dev/usb/tty/0 XX XX XX XX
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tty/0 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tty/0
SERIAL READER : /dev/usb/tty/1 smartreader+
SMARTCARD CLOCK FREQUENCY: /dev/usb/tty/1

SERVER LISTEN PORT:XXXXX

I've not stipulated clock frequency as I didn't need to on the Dreambox. Is this correct ?

Not sure how far away I am from it but it's not working anyway.

Whenever I plug in the Smargo it assigns it a device id number along with the following....

ftdi_sio tty usb0: unable to read latency timer: -32

Ok, I've done as you say and this is the response I had

I've changed the config to read

SERIAL READER : /dev/ttyUSB0 smartreader+

The Smargo is in Normal mode, on autoswitch

Not working, same latency error

rebooted and tried again

dmesg | grep tty
[ 0.000000] console [tty0] enabled
[ 0.869792] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A

Hi, I've read that thread...going into meltdown mode soon me thinks.

1. Smargo is original, running 1.3. Works fine in DM7000 and DM500. I've even opened them up and they're authentic.

2. How do I stop and start CCcam.x86 ...sorry if it's a newbie question

3. I haven't copied across srp_tools_x86 nor srp_update_x86 yet...could this be it ?

.....on a plus note my port is open and I can see the service, so it looks like this smargo is the last hurdle...for now.

Thanks

Ok, so I've now copied into home/cccam both these two files and ch modded them to 755

srp_tools_x86
srp_update_x86

How on earth do I run an update on them ???

Are these to update the smartreader ? Do I actually even need them as I have done that from my windows machine and I really do not wish to move beyond v1.3 on the smargo.

Thanks for all your help !
