It may run with a Chumby One. You can stop the control panel with the command "stop_control_panel". Why do you use a USB keyboard? It is much easier to ssh into the chumby! Did you mount it to /mnt/chumby? This is very important, the startup script and some other things expect it to be in /mnt/chumby. You also need write permission in /mnt/chumby/etc, as user root. NFS normaly denies this, you have to specify this explicitly. Perhaps this is the problem.

Hi rtd1073,

fabulous idea!
Just tried it this morning on my chumby one; here is as far as I got in 20 minutes:

- unpacked your squeezeplay%5E_chumby%5E_v0.0.tar.gz on my notebook
- set permissions chmod -R a+rw ./    (this is probably the wrong way to do it; there might be nfs options for that, but I was lazy)
- shared this directory using NFS  (edited /etc/exports)
- ssh to chumby
$ mkdir /mnt/chumby
$ mount -o nolock -t nfs notebook_ip:/path/to/said/directory  /mnt/chumby
$ stop_control_panel
$ /mnt/chumby/bin/squeezeplay.sh

The program ran but nothing appeared on the screen (after stop_control_panel, the display of the last widget stays there). I first suspected that the system freezed, but ssh was still active, and as a test, I tried
   cat >> /dev/fb0
in the chumby ssh session and typed some random characters upon which pixels on chumbys display changed.

Any ideas?

Left my chumby at home, so I'll have to post the jive output later today. I remember that there was a message like "Initializing screen to NNNxNNNxNN" or maybe it was "setting resolution...", but the screen remained unchanged.

When pushing Chumby One's button on top, jive says something like "I reckon this is not a touchscreen device".

I might have missed it, but is the source included in your package? If not it would help me a lot if you could upload it somewhere.

If you set-up a SourceForge page (or alike), I would definitely like to invest some time into this!

So long and thanks for your effort!

Ok,

sourceforge project is ready.
Project url is: http://chumbysqueeze.sourceforge.net/

Greetings, rtd1073

I hate to spoil the fun, but you should probably investigate the copyrights before redistributing everything in the original squeezeplay distribution. As an example, I suspect some of the artwork might be licensed with a Logitech copyrights that doesn't allow re-distribution without permission from Logitech. I think all the lua code should be licensed under a BSD license and should be safe to redistribute.

I'm not trying to  stop this, it's great to see third party initiatives like this on alternative hardware platforms, I just wanted to make you aware of possible license/copyright problems unless you already knew about them.

Unfortunately, I suspect it will be hard to reach someone at Logitech that can give you answers, but it is a bit risky since this will compete with Logitech's own hardware. If you tried to ask them, they would probably just tell you that you aren't allowed to do what you are doing.

The safe solution to handle this if you like to avoid license/copyright issues would be to:
- Handle patches in your own repository
- Provide an installation script that a user can run to automatically download the squeezeplay source from Logitech, patch it and compile to binaries.

anyone?
