Thanks for your help so far everyone!
I hit a bit of a wall with gdrive - it turns out the program is not being maintained anymore, and Google Drive has disabled Google Sign-In access for it - someone has shared a relatively involved workaround, but rather than go further down that particular rabbit hole, I’m now turning my attention to rclone (https://rclone.org/install/), which looks like a much more active project, and will interface with a bunch of other things like DropBox, FTP, etc.
My first step with trying to install rclone was to re-flash the SD card with OG1-v4.0.img so I was starting from a known state.
Then, following rclone’s Linux installation instructions, I tried:
curl https://rclone.org/install.sh | sudo bash
This (not totally unexpectedly!) returned the Read-only file system message:
So, following chrisk’s earlier advice, I tried:
sudo /home/music/fw_dir/scripts/remount-rw.sh
However, this returned “command not found” - I then checked my /home
directory and it only contains a single folder called alarm
, even when I tick View -> Show Hidden
.
I felt sure I had previously run this command successfully during my gdrive explorations, so this was confusing.
I also tried navigating to /
then Tools->Find Files...
, and searching for *.sh
files, searching sub directories and including hidden files.
This turned up a few .sh
files, but not remount-rw.sh
or remount-ro.sh
.
My next thought was to try to sidestep these permissions issues by doing what TheTechnoBear suggested for gdrive - creating a system
folder inside /sdcard and installing to there.
So I looked at rclone’s manual installation instructions from https://rclone.org/install/ and found that they were unsurprisingly also geared toward installing to usr/bin/rclone
, and I didn’t know how to adapt them to point to /sdcard/system.
At this point, I felt like I’d reached the limit of my current Linux expertise and hit another wall, so I’m coming to the community for help again!
Does anyone have ideas about why I can’t find or run the remount-rw.sh
and remount-ro.sh
scripts, given that I’m working on a clean install of OS 4.0?
Also, any other general advice on trying to get rclone up and running on the Organelle would be gratefully received!
All the best
Mark
