**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jun 24 23:59:57 2005 Jun 25 09:27:30 Hi all Jun 25 09:28:24 Is this the right place to ask Questions about a NSLU2 Problem? Jun 25 09:28:52 because my NSLU2 won´t let me write on my Hard Drive Jun 25 09:28:56 :( Jun 25 09:29:21 mhm Jun 25 09:29:25 nobody here? Jun 25 09:29:29 try to turn him on Jun 25 09:29:34 ;) Jun 25 09:29:36 Good Point Jun 25 09:29:39 :) Jun 25 09:29:45 Done that Jun 25 09:29:46 unslung? Jun 25 09:29:59 Problem is, that the disk ist mounted read only Jun 25 09:30:13 unslung 3.17, just upgraded to 5.x, Jun 25 09:30:33 i read some post about it Jun 25 09:30:34 wanted to unsling the 5.x but its not possible due to the read only disk... Jun 25 09:30:49 When I edit /etc/fstab it has no effect Jun 25 09:30:52 tryed to remount it? Jun 25 09:31:05 yes Jun 25 09:31:09 fstab is no leading Jun 25 09:31:30 remounting says device is busy Jun 25 09:31:49 no leading? Jun 25 09:32:26 yes it's will be overwriting on reboot Jun 25 09:32:44 yes, noticed that, too. Jun 25 09:32:47 :) Jun 25 09:33:04 Could you give me a pointer to te posts you mentioned? Jun 25 09:33:15 try the other usb port? Jun 25 09:33:27 mhm. not tried yet Jun 25 09:33:57 i had a similar problem with my flashdisk Jun 25 09:33:58 I´ll try this now Jun 25 09:43:11 i guess something went rerribly wrong Jun 25 09:43:20 I have no telnet access Jun 25 09:43:25 i have no ssh access Jun 25 09:43:51 and if i plug in the disk on the second USB Port the web interface says disk2 ready oMB Jun 25 09:43:59 zero mb is not good Jun 25 09:44:03 nono Jun 25 09:44:05 :( Jun 25 09:44:24 unslung5.5? Jun 25 09:44:41 read only disk just indicates that the disk is still not fully mounted Jun 25 09:44:56 which means you still need to wait to unsling Jun 25 09:45:18 the zero mb is a bug from the linksys firmware innit? Jun 25 09:45:25 mhm, but it wasn´t writeable at all before... Jun 25 09:45:39 It's there, it's just not reporting it correctly? Jun 25 09:45:40 yeah, that is ignorable about the 0MB in the web interface Jun 25 09:45:48 oh good Jun 25 09:45:58 but the telnet.cgi is gone... Jun 25 09:45:58 linksys did something stupid with their binaries Jun 25 09:46:02 NAiL, imho yes, based on R29 Jun 25 09:46:15 that is reflective of R29... Jun 25 09:46:22 you need to reflash 5.50 Jun 25 09:46:32 ok, will do that Jun 25 09:46:39 reboot after the flash w/o the disk attached Jun 25 09:46:44 ok Jun 25 09:46:47 telnet it Jun 25 09:46:52 just like the readme says... Jun 25 09:47:06 then I´ll wait a bit longer and unsling Jun 25 09:47:09 then plug in the disk Jun 25 09:47:10 god plan? Jun 25 09:47:19 ja Jun 25 09:47:24 and then keep checking mount until the hd shows RW Jun 25 09:47:30 ok Jun 25 09:47:48 once it shows RW then unsling, and reboot after it finishes (keeping the hd attached) Jun 25 09:48:05 one more question Jun 25 09:48:25 I need the UpSlug Tool now? Jun 25 09:48:33 or Sercomm Jun 25 09:48:41 either will do the trick Jun 25 09:48:51 Does UpSlug runs on Mac OS X? Jun 25 09:48:55 (and are the preferred flash methods) Jun 25 09:49:01 derdennis, based on your os, upslug (linux), sercomm (win) Jun 25 09:49:50 hmm.. . you know I don't think that has been addressed.... Jun 25 09:50:15 :) Jun 25 09:50:23 I´ll try to build this thing... Jun 25 09:50:24 Shouldn't be much of a problem. upslug should compile on osx Jun 25 09:51:19 if i remember right, there was a discussion on #nslu2-linux, two weeks ago Jun 25 09:51:46 about a compability problem upslug/mac os, Jun 25 09:52:25 I'm checking with a core dev (who is also a big Mac user) Jun 25 09:52:43 Morning all, I can't seem to download the MasterMakefile (Makefile '404 Not Found') Is it in the shop for service? Jun 25 09:53:00 sdm485, yes Jun 25 09:53:22 we are in the process of re-working our repo to better integrate into the openembedded parent repo Jun 25 09:53:23 ByronT: OK Thanks, I'll check later Jun 25 09:54:27 doesn´t work on Mac OS X Jun 25 09:54:33 I get the following: Jun 25 09:54:35 upslug.c:4:30: error: netpacket/packet.h: No such file or directory Jun 25 09:54:35 In file included from upslug.c:5: Jun 25 09:55:38 that's what i remember Jun 25 09:55:45 derdennis, do you have a linux box or a winblow... excuse me windows box to work with? Jun 25 09:56:09 I think I got some boxes in the basement... ;) Jun 25 09:56:42 I´ll find something to build this thing... Jun 25 09:56:47 :) Jun 25 09:56:56 but maybe this takes some time... Jun 25 09:57:08 anyway thank you for your help so far! Jun 25 09:59:33 any way to get out off redboot upgrade mode without doing an upgrade, so its possible to catch redboot prompt, and use tftp for upgrade? Jun 25 09:59:35 any way to get out off redboot upgrade mode without doing an upgrade, so its possible to catch redboot prompt, and use tftp for upgrade? Jun 25 10:20:43 caplink811: check out http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash Jun 25 10:25:53 thx, sdm485, but that is not the problem, the question was, is there any way out off upgrade mode without upgrade, cause people without win/linux have a problem.. Jun 25 10:27:27 that problem is being addressed (as we chat!) Jun 25 10:27:49 hi doco guy, how are you Jun 25 10:30:03 doco guy + binary release manager... :) Jun 25 10:30:54 yes, i know this, but, if there's a possibility to leave rb upgrade, then people can try to catch the rb prompt, and use tftp, thats the background of my question Jun 25 10:31:16 oops, soory, forgotten half of youre titles ;-) Jun 25 10:32:47 that's what I'm discussing with core devs right now... Jun 25 10:33:27 and documentation for the procedure / possibility that we get upslug working on / ported to OS X Jun 25 12:03:28 der_dennis_away: Please don't leave the wiki Java IRC client idling without changing your nickname. Jun 25 13:30:22 hi Jun 25 13:30:37 hi, can you change your nick pls Jun 25 13:31:02 how do I do this I am newby Jun 25 13:31:20 /nick new_nick in the input line Jun 25 13:32:13 Hi I have a NSLU2 with a Ready/Status flashing red/amber. What can I do... Jun 25 13:32:46 the slug waits for new firmware Jun 25 13:33:10 ?? So what should I do... Jun 25 13:33:30 BeertChris: Flash the firmware you want ;) Jun 25 13:33:31 sercomm utility or upslug Jun 25 13:33:35 so, depend on your operating system, you should use sercomm tool or upslug to load a new firmware Jun 25 13:33:56 those guys are fast this evening Jun 25 13:34:10 With IS you mean the OS of the host. I have an Appel computer (MAC OS X) Jun 25 13:34:21 ByronT, your customer Jun 25 13:34:35 caplink811, as far as OS X users are concerned, they will need to power cycle the slug (if they've put it into upgrade mode), and then setup tftp and do it the *hard* way Jun 25 13:34:44 heh... and I was typing.... Jun 25 13:35:15 ByronT: Is there a wiki entry on OS X and flashing? If not, there should be ;) Jun 25 13:35:37 I have a feeling BeertChris might be the person to create that entry.... Jun 25 13:35:40 :) Jun 25 13:35:55 let me locate a page for you BeertChris Jun 25 13:36:08 Well I have an Windows XP at homme too. Might this be easier..... Jun 25 13:36:19 ah, thats the answer to my question, so, redboot, starts not in upgrade mode, and there is the possibilty to catch the redboot prompt before redboot waits for firmware Jun 25 13:36:20 it would be, but it's not too hard Jun 25 13:36:23 ByronT: I'll watch the progress and make the page. I'm bored anyways ;) Jun 25 13:36:37 ByronT: HowTo/FlashUnderOSX will do? Jun 25 13:36:51 FlashUsingOSX Jun 25 13:37:03 of course ;) Jun 25 13:37:45 I am not sure in which TimeZOne you all are in but are you all logged all day? Jun 25 13:37:55 BeertChris, http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash "The Manual Flash Recovery Procedure" about halfway down Jun 25 13:38:39 actually NAiL the information is already on that page, but it won't hurt to have it on it's own page Jun 25 13:39:17 ByronT: Yeah, and make it a tad more OSX-specific. Jun 25 13:39:42 BeertChris, nope, not the whole day, in my, and your tz its evening, and i'm bboring Jun 25 13:39:51 and someone is going to have to update the cksums for the latest firmware Jun 25 13:40:41 ByronT: Yeah, how's that done? Jun 25 13:41:21 much flashing and much redbooting and using the cksum after you verified that the flash took Jun 25 13:41:22 md5sum filename Jun 25 13:41:49 ah. Jun 25 13:42:07 * NAiL goes with caplink's suggestion ;) Jun 25 13:42:16 uh.. hmm.. no.. Jun 25 13:42:37 it's not the md5sum Jun 25 13:42:46 you have to use the cksum cmd in redboot... Jun 25 13:42:53 it will have to be verified for each firmware Jun 25 13:42:59 NAiL, have fun! Jun 25 13:43:01 ;) Jun 25 13:43:06 haha :P Jun 25 13:43:19 * caplink811 learning the whole day Jun 25 13:43:29 btw, that is exactly how I got this job, NAiL Jun 25 13:43:46 I made some comment in channel and rwhitby put me to work.... Jun 25 13:44:44 OK guys I am going to install tftp on my OSX.. if this does not work I faal back to XP sing sercomm procedure. Thanks for the support and have a nice day! Jun 25 13:45:01 good deal Jun 25 13:45:30 ByronT: what job? Supporting the poor osx-users? Jun 25 13:45:31 :) Jun 25 13:45:56 <- Doco manager and binary release manager.... Jun 25 13:46:00 aaah Jun 25 13:46:45 But it is necessary to flash the firmware? If I try to transfer the fw four-five times and get the same cksum it should be ok? Jun 25 13:47:13 from that page, it seems to indicate that different firmwares might have different cksums Jun 25 13:47:31 yes, that makes sense. Jun 25 13:47:50 I'll get the cksum for openslug 2.0 and unslung beta 5.5 Jun 25 13:47:54 I would do flash, boot, check operation, reboot, get cksum... then flash next firmware Jun 25 13:48:24 why don't you just use the cksum util on Linux? Jun 25 13:48:41 Tiersten: haha. hahahaha. Would be a heck of a lot easier :P Jun 25 13:48:57 I like doing stuff the hard way! Jun 25 13:49:07 and it keeps NAiL busy Jun 25 13:49:32 heh Jun 25 13:49:44 Keeping me busy isn't a bad thing. But not by doing stuff *really* awkward ways :P Jun 25 13:50:03 I was thinking it would take him at least a couple hours.... Jun 25 13:50:11 Tiersten: Are you sure that the cksum util on linux will produce the same output? Jun 25 13:50:51 Yes. It should do. That's the whole point of cksum in RedBoot Jun 25 13:51:00 good Jun 25 13:51:25 You can check it if you want Jun 25 13:53:40 I'll trust you, atleast for now ;) Jun 25 13:54:17 do it the hard way for the experience Jun 25 13:57:37 Later. I'll get the rudimentary stuff right first :) Jun 25 14:10:52 does MacOSX have a cksum util? Jun 25 14:13:01 It should do. At least it exists on my Mac running Tiger with Xcode 2.1 Jun 25 14:13:34 ok Jun 25 14:14:08 What's the name of the firmware-image produced by unslung? Is it unslung-timestamp-image.bin? Jun 25 14:21:38 Ok, page kinda done. I'd be happy if you could comment a bit on it.. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/FlashUsingOSX Jun 25 14:23:46 looks good, but we need to get a recommendation for tftp server... (I have someone I can ask) Jun 25 14:24:10 There is one in OS X already Jun 25 14:24:35 see, I was thinking I could just say that outloud and Tiersten would answer Jun 25 14:24:59 hahah ;) Jun 25 14:25:01 As for how you enable it... Jun 25 14:25:03 *shrug* Jun 25 14:25:23 Actually, is there anything specific on the FlashUsingOSX page to OSX? Jun 25 14:25:35 There is another page that talks about getting into RedBoot to reflash as well Jun 25 14:25:42 ok, I'll own up to the fact that there is a iMac G5 in the back of my house.... Jun 25 14:28:27 is it me or is there no apache package for openslug? Jun 25 15:15:19 Tiersten: The plan was kinda to add that part to the beginnign. But I dno't have a osx box to set up stuff **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jun 25 23:59:56 2005
