**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Feb 20 23:59:56 2005
Feb 21 11:55:04 <ByronT> hello
Feb 21 11:55:38 <Gorx> hey got an NSLU2 and want to add a printer 
Feb 21 11:55:49 <Gorx> am a total noob with linux and how to compile and all that can you help me?
Feb 21 11:56:14 <ByronT> unslung firmware 3.18 + cups works great for me
Feb 21 11:56:44 <Gorx> you got the cups compiled package?
Feb 21 11:56:47 <ByronT> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddPrinter
Feb 21 11:57:00 <ByronT> there are the instructions for getting it working
Feb 21 11:57:23 <ByronT> when you flash firmware make sure you follow the directions COMPLETELY
Feb 21 11:57:35 <Gorx> have done
Feb 21 11:57:40 <ByronT> and then just follow the instructions on the page I just listed
Feb 21 11:58:00 <ByronT> I've got an HP DeskJet 975Cse shared to my home network
Feb 21 11:58:31 <ByronT> I didn't have to follow the samba portion of that page since Windows XP allows the IPP protocol
Feb 21 11:58:37 <Gorx> oh, ok
Feb 21 11:58:40 <Gorx> ta
Feb 21 11:58:45 <Gorx> you got msn messenger, btw?
Feb 21 11:59:06 <ByronT> I just stay here in channel
Feb 21 11:59:14 <ByronT> as do most of these guys
Feb 21 11:59:25 <Gorx> right
Feb 21 11:59:30 <Gorx> ive seen this page b4
Feb 21 11:59:49 <Gorx> but dont know what it means
Feb 21 11:59:57 <Gorx> i mean you can download cups....where from?
Feb 21 12:00:03 <Gorx> and how do I compile it, etc?
Feb 21 12:00:13 <ByronT> you don't have to complie
Feb 21 12:00:28 <Gorx> do you know where you can download it from?
Feb 21 12:00:40 <ByronT> all you have to do is gain telnet or ssh access to your unslung NSLU2
Feb 21 12:00:54 <Gorx> done
Feb 21 12:00:54 <ByronT> and then from the prompt type ipkg install cups
Feb 21 12:01:04 <Gorx> that it?
Feb 21 12:01:12 <ByronT> but you need to update list of packages first
Feb 21 12:01:19 <ByronT> (if you haven't done that before)
Feb 21 12:01:23 <ByronT> ipkg update
Feb 21 12:01:25 <Gorx> how do you do that
Feb 21 12:01:40 <Gorx> k
Feb 21 12:01:47 <ByronT> ipkg install unslung-feeds
Feb 21 12:01:53 <ByronT> ipkg update
Feb 21 12:01:58 <ByronT> ipkg install cups
Feb 21 12:02:17 <ByronT> ipkg install cups-[whatever language] you need
Feb 21 12:02:51 <Gorx> and you do that with the drive in?
Feb 21 12:03:00 <ByronT> cp /opt/doc/cups/S88cups /opt/etc/init.d
Feb 21 12:03:12 <ByronT> yes, with your unslung drive plugged in
Feb 21 12:03:23 <Gorx> unslung drive
Feb 21 12:03:48 <ByronT> you did unsling to a drive after installind the firmware?
Feb 21 12:03:51 <Gorx> that the one that remebers the root password as 'uNSLUng'?
Feb 21 12:05:00 <ByronT> well, that would only happen if you booted your slug without a drive - and never changed your root password otherwise
Feb 21 12:05:22 <Gorx> how do you change your root pass/
Feb 21 12:06:06 <ByronT> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ChangePasswordsFromTheCommandLine
Feb 21 12:07:51 <ByronT> Gorx, you might want to print out that NOTES file and read through it... it can't teach you everything about linux, but it would probably help you a bunch
Feb 21 12:10:17 <Gorx> right changed the pass now onto this cups business
Feb 21 12:10:26 <ByronT> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/SuggestedChangesToTheReadme
Feb 21 12:10:42 <ByronT> there are links to the .txt versions of those doco files
Feb 21 12:11:06 <Gorx> right done the ipkg update
Feb 21 12:11:10 <Gorx> and it says
Feb 21 12:11:31 <Gorx> downloading http://(nslu2 site)
Feb 21 12:11:59 <Gorx> ipkg_download: ERROR: Command failed with return value 1
Feb 21 12:11:59 <Gorx> :
Feb 21 12:12:34 <ByronT> btw, all this stuff is at www.nslu2-linux.org
Feb 21 12:12:51 <Gorx> 'wget --passive-ftp -q -P /tmp/ipkg-1pyx7I http://ipkg.nslu2-linuxAn error occured, return value 1
Feb 21 12:13:45 <ByronT> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/FAQ
Feb 21 12:13:50 <ByronT> check that page...
Feb 21 12:13:53 <Gorx> kk
Feb 21 12:14:07 <ByronT> #20 in particular
Feb 21 12:14:39 <ByronT> which boils down to you need to use the web interface and set the DNS and gateway settings for the NSLU2
Feb 21 12:14:59 <Gorx> yus
Feb 21 12:15:07 <Gorx> are the dns settings just the router/
Feb 21 12:15:10 <Gorx> wrt54g?
Feb 21 12:15:31 <ByronT> I set mine to match my windows xp computer on the network
Feb 21 12:15:47 <Gorx> and you have a router/
Feb 21 12:15:57 <ByronT> and checked by looking at the status of the network connection
Feb 21 12:16:44 <caplink811-away> if your router can handle dns-forward, then yes, else the dns from your provider
Feb 21 12:16:53 <caplink811-away> ByronT: sorry for interupt ;-)
Feb 21 12:17:33 <Gorx> woot its just worked
Feb 21 12:18:01 <Gorx> how big are the packages?
Feb 21 12:18:37 <caplink811-away> from 15 k to 5-7 M
Feb 21 12:18:43 <Gorx> o
Feb 21 12:19:19 <ByronT> caplink811-away, thanks for the assist...
Feb 21 12:19:33 <caplink811-away> np
Feb 21 12:19:33 <ByronT> I'm in the middle of trying to get out sales tax remittance... (fun)
Feb 21 12:20:07 <caplink811-away> ;-) in german we have something equal
Feb 21 12:21:04 <Gorx> you sell stuff/
Feb 21 12:21:18 <ByronT> in fact, I've got to go track down some paperwork....
Feb 21 12:33:46 <Gorx> any1 there?
Feb 21 12:34:08 <ByronT> sort of
Feb 21 12:35:34 <Gorx> cant get it to work
Feb 21 12:37:30 <ByronT> explain?
Feb 21 12:38:04 <Gorx> ive installed cups ok but i cant get onto the web interface with port 631 or whatever it is
Feb 21 12:39:06 <ByronT> did you follow the instruction for copying the cups startup file to the /opt/etc/init.d directory
Feb 21 12:39:11 <Gorx> no
Feb 21 12:39:53 <Gorx> is it cp /opt/doc/cups/s88cups /opt/etc/init.d
Feb 21 12:40:07 <ByronT> S888cups
Feb 21 12:40:23 <ByronT> S88cups.. caps matter in linux
Feb 21 12:40:34 <Gorx> ok did that but still cant connect on that port on the web interface
Feb 21 12:40:59 <ByronT> did you execute the startup file?
Feb 21 12:41:11 <Gorx> how do you do that
Feb 21 12:41:15 <ByronT> ./opt/etc/init.d/S88cups
Feb 21 12:42:37 <Gorx> the dir doesnt exist
Feb 21 12:42:52 <ByronT> remove that beginning dot...
Feb 21 12:42:57 <Gorx> k
Feb 21 12:43:11 <Gorx> not a directory
Feb 21 12:43:42 <ByronT> cd /opt/etc/init.d
Feb 21 12:43:55 <ByronT> and then do "ls -al" to see if the S88cups is there
Feb 21 12:44:03 <Gorx> cant cd to /opt/etc/init.d
Feb 21 12:45:12 <ByronT> cd /opt/etc
Feb 21 12:45:19 <ByronT> and ls -al
Feb 21 12:45:50 <Gorx> kk
Feb 21 12:46:02 <ByronT> see if there is a init.d line
Feb 21 12:46:10 <ByronT> and give the line here
Feb 21 12:46:12 <Gorx> yes there is
Feb 21 12:46:14 <Gorx> and a cups line
Feb 21 12:47:19 <ByronT> what does the init.d line look like "drwxr xr x 534"? soemthing like that... just type it in here
Feb 21 12:47:50 <Gorx> -rwxr-xr-x 1root root
Feb 21 12:47:53 <Gorx> 460
Feb 21 12:48:08 <ByronT> ok
Feb 21 12:48:32 <ByronT> do this mv init.d S88cups
Feb 21 12:48:43 <ByronT> then mkdir init.d
Feb 21 12:48:56 <Gorx> done
Feb 21 12:49:31 <ByronT> checking something...
Feb 21 12:50:09 <ByronT> ok... also chmod 755 init.d
Feb 21 12:50:51 <Gorx> done
Feb 21 12:51:17 <ByronT> now cp S88cups init.d/S88cups
Feb 21 12:51:38 <Gorx> yup
Feb 21 12:51:45 <ByronT> cd init.d
Feb 21 12:51:55 <Gorx> yup
Feb 21 12:52:11 <ByronT> ls -al and tell me what the line for S88cups looks like
Feb 21 12:52:36 <Gorx> -rwxr-xr-x 1root root 460
Feb 21 12:52:59 <ByronT> type in ./S88cups
Feb 21 12:53:25 <Gorx> error while loading shared libraries
Feb 21 12:53:31 <Gorx> ....and it goes on
Feb 21 12:53:41 <ByronT> okee... that's a slugbug
Feb 21 12:53:49 <ByronT> ipkg install openssl
Feb 21 12:53:51 <Gorx> which means?
Feb 21 12:54:09 <Gorx> already installed
Feb 21 12:54:46 <ByronT> you better type in the full error message then
Feb 21 12:56:10 <Gorx> it is :/opt/sbin/cupsd: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so: cannot open shared object file: no such file / directory
Feb 21 12:56:50 <ByronT> ipkg install zlib
Feb 21 12:57:52 <Gorx> done
Feb 21 12:58:25 <ByronT> try the ./S88cups again
Feb 21 12:59:13 <Gorx> goes onto another line
Feb 21 12:59:16 <Gorx> and says #
Feb 21 12:59:30 <ByronT> now try the web interface
Feb 21 12:59:51 <Gorx> erver: CUPS/1.1
Feb 21 13:00:47 <caplink811-away> just another satisfied customer ;-)
Feb 21 13:00:53 <Gorx> thanks mate
Feb 21 13:01:19 <ByronT> now you're into CUPS... any further issues with CUPS, you'll probably want to check their site
Feb 21 13:23:14 <Gorx> god going through the cups web server is so slow
Feb 21 13:35:14 <Gorx> any1 know thedefault username and password for cups?
Feb 21 13:38:56 <caplink811-away> looking in the docs, or searching for a FAQ at http://www.cups.org/ may be usefull
Feb 21 13:46:55 <Gorx> in CUPS, what do I put in the location field?
Feb 21 13:47:14 <Gorx> when adding a printer in the web interface
Feb 21 13:49:41 <ByronT> Gorx, location is just a text field, usage is not determined by what is in that field
Feb 21 13:50:35 <ByronT> as for how to get it to work, you'll either need to go through CUPS documentation, or edit the appropriate files on the slug, or do as I did, just use the existing printer setup
Feb 21 13:54:43 <Gorx> well ive modified the hp990c to my specs just confised about Device
Feb 21 13:54:53 <Gorx> at the mo its got USB printer #1
Feb 21 14:48:49 <Gorx> any1?
Feb 21 14:58:22 <ByronT> have you plugged in your USB printer?
Feb 21 15:02:18 <Gorx> yes
Feb 21 15:14:37 <ByronT> if you go look at the S88cups startup script, you should be able to see what it looks for
Feb 21 15:15:25 <ByronT> that plus using the information on that HowTo.AddPrinter page - should be able to get you running...
Feb 21 15:16:26 <ByronT> all the information is there (or on the wiki - that Search link on the left hand side is real handy
Feb 21 15:34:45 <ByronT> be back later
