How to install Pogoplug software on V2 Plug

[WarheadsSE]

Loading xce.ko: Error: could not insert module /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/xce.ko: Invalid module format

That's your problem.

[rty]

Yes, I know that. That's the xce.ko provided by Moonman.

[WarheadsSE]

I will upload mine, I know it works on GFN & V4

[moonman]

My xce.ko was compiled for kernel 3.1.10.11 and you tried it with 3.1.10.9 that's why it won't load. Try it again with the new kernel. If you want to compile it - appy the patch with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'patch -p1 < patchfile') and put symlink or copy to /usr/src/linux-3.1.10-11-ARCH/include/mtd, and NOT /usr/src/linux-3.1.10-11-ARCH/include/linux/mtd. Actually this path difference is the reason why mtd folder is not included in the kernel headers.
So far mine has been up for 4 days

EDIT: Also do a modinfo xce.ko, it should look like this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@Arch Linux ARM install bin]# modinfo xce.ko
filename: /usr/local/cloudengines/bin/xce.ko

version: 2.1.0

')

Good to see you back early, Moonman.

Greetings Moonman,

As suggested I did a "modinfo xce.ko" and it showed version 2.0.5. I then downloaded your xce.ko one more time. The modinfo on it shows version 2.1.0, so I must have downloaded the 2.0.5 version from your older post. Now the 2.1.0 xce.ko seems to work fine.

Dmesg shows these:

I had to go to pogoplug.com to activate the V2 again though and ended up seeing two Pogoplugs on the panel: one online and one offline. I unregistered the offline one. Problem solved. Thank you very much.

[moonman]

I am glad it finally worked for you

[moonman]

Just compiled xce.ko for Pogoplug Series 4, Pogoplug Mobile, again this is for testing. If You have PogoPlug V2, the module is attached on the previous page of this thread.

Before using it, make sure the kernel is at version 3.1.10-11.

My GFH is dead for now as the 1TB Drive died in it. Until I replace it, there won't be any experiments I guess. On top of that I the code is a little different for every device. You would have to modify it or wait until WarheadsSE releases his "neutered" xce version without the device-specific stuff in it.

And to compile it you just need to have that mtd folder, run the patch -p1 < {patch} and run make. All the modifications I made are in that patch file, take a look through it. If you are good at coding you can go further and remove the device specific code.
