**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 28 23:59:56 2005
Jul 29 04:58:50 <Burton> can anyone explain to me how I apply a patch?, I have installed the patch package from the ipkg, and downloaded a .diff patch for ctorrent. When I type: "/opt/bin/patch /opt/bin/ctorrent/ /public/ctorrent.diff" I get " 3 out of 3 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file ...., can't find file to patch at input line 35...."
Jul 29 05:00:41 <Burton> The text leading up to this was:
Jul 29 05:00:48 <Burton> --------------------------

Jul 29 05:06:52 <landslidevm> ahha! got it working through vmware
Jul 29 05:06:57 <landslidevm> far out that rocks.
Jul 29 08:56:05 <ByronT> :)
Jul 29 08:56:13 <perlguru> :)
Jul 29 08:56:15 <ByronT> when you get rebooted without the hd, let me know
Jul 29 08:56:23 <perlguru> peep
Jul 29 08:57:01 <perlguru> ByronT, it beebed
Jul 29 08:57:01 <ByronT> k, telnet in and ls -al in /
Jul 29 08:58:01 <ByronT> or just ls -al /.sda1root
Jul 29 08:58:02 <perlguru> there is a .sda1toot now ( because i unslinged :)
Jul 29 08:58:13 <perlguru> .sda1root
Jul 29 08:58:15 <ByronT> ok, rm /.sda1root
Jul 29 08:58:27 <perlguru> done
Jul 29 08:58:32 <ByronT> reboot
Jul 29 08:58:38 <ByronT> still without hd
Jul 29 08:58:42 <perlguru> ok
Jul 29 08:59:55 <ByronT> after it boots, re-telnet in (again without hd)
Jul 29 09:00:04 <ByronT> and ls -al /.sda1root
Jul 29 09:00:24 <ByronT> it *should* be gone....
Jul 29 09:00:30 <perlguru> it is :)
Jul 29 09:01:01 <ByronT> ok, now plugin the hd you're going to use (virgin, previously unslung one, whatever...)
Jul 29 09:01:28 <perlguru> its there...
Jul 29 09:01:37 <ByronT> df and mount show it now?
Jul 29 09:01:41 <perlguru> yep
Jul 29 09:01:52 <ByronT> and it's already formatted, right?
Jul 29 09:01:55 <perlguru> yep
Jul 29 09:02:04 <ByronT> k.. /sbin/unsling disk1
Jul 29 09:02:32 <perlguru> done
Jul 29 09:02:36 <ByronT> sync
Jul 29 09:02:47 <ByronT> and then "reboot"
Jul 29 09:02:47 <perlguru> synced
Jul 29 09:02:52 <ByronT> leaving hd attached
Jul 29 09:03:25 <perlguru> rebooting....
Jul 29 09:03:44 <ByronT> listen for that "strangled beep"... :)
Jul 29 09:03:51 <perlguru> hdd led green now.
Jul 29 09:04:08 <perlguru> ready/status blinking...
Jul 29 09:05:15 <ByronT> what leds are lit now?
Jul 29 09:05:17 <perlguru> ready/status blinking...
Jul 29 09:05:28 <perlguru> ethernet on hdd on
Jul 29 09:05:55 <ByronT> has the hdd been accessed fairly hard?
Jul 29 09:06:22 <ByronT> (as if it were booting from hdd)?
Jul 29 09:06:26 <perlguru> not noticed that. it is at rest now
Jul 29 09:06:58 <perlguru> pulling the plug and reboot?
Jul 29 09:07:24 <ByronT> my experience is that in boot sequence, once the hdd is recognized as rootfs, the hdd tends to stay active with slight pauses until final beep
Jul 29 09:07:37 <ByronT> no serial on this one, eh?
Jul 29 09:08:35 <ByronT> when you did df, what percentage did the flash show filled?
Jul 29 09:09:36 <perlguru> hdd was only active right after the hdd led goes on, now it is at rest. ready/status blinking
Jul 29 09:09:43 <perlguru> i have no srial
Jul 29 09:09:52 <perlguru> hdd was 0% use
Jul 29 09:10:03 <perlguru> (virgin disk ;)
Jul 29 09:10:07 <ByronT> yeah, let's reboot again without hdd...
Jul 29 09:10:13 <perlguru> ok
Jul 29 09:10:41 <ByronT> I had a couple instances where the flash got filled to the point where I had to reflash to linksys and then back to unslung 5.5
Jul 29 09:10:59 <perlguru> so. lets check the flash
Jul 29 09:11:39 <ByronT> there is some interaction in the re - unslinging with this problem that starts to mess with the flash..
Jul 29 09:12:22 <perlguru> remedy is reflashing?
Jul 29 09:12:32 <ByronT> yeah
Jul 29 09:12:50 <ByronT> back to stock would be *my* recommendation (tried and tested about 10 times)
Jul 29 09:13:22 <ByronT> brb (nature is *really* calling)
Jul 29 09:13:27 <perlguru> flash stock anf then flash unslung 5.5?
Jul 29 09:14:15 <becreuz> hmmm disk plugged in. led green for disk1, pristine 250gb disk. usb mass storage recognises it. the web interface does not show it. neither does mount >_@
Jul 29 09:15:22 <perlguru> wait a while and refresh webpage
Jul 29 09:15:37 <becreuz> oh i've been waiting lot's of whiles
Jul 29 09:15:48 <perlguru> large disks take a while to be recognised
Jul 29 09:16:05 <becreuz> oh i see
Jul 29 09:16:16 <perlguru> about 20 secs or so
Jul 29 09:16:41 <becreuz> oh hehe. i've been waiting the better part of half an hour
Jul 29 09:17:00 <caplink811_log> becreuz,  disk quotas enebled?
Jul 29 09:17:11 <becreuz> nope
Jul 29 09:17:27 <caplink811_log> have you rc.quota diverted?
Jul 29 09:17:53 <perlguru> # df
Jul 29 09:17:53 <perlguru> Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
Jul 29 09:17:53 <perlguru> rootfs                    6528      5332      1196  82% /
Jul 29 09:17:57 <becreuz> not that i can recall
Jul 29 09:18:40 <perlguru> \/dev/mtdblock4            6528      5332      1196  82% /
Jul 29 09:19:18 <caplink811_log> becreuz,  then you can try to divert /etc/rc.d/rc.quota with /unslung/rc.quota which have the follow contents
Jul 29 09:19:22 <perlguru> feeding time, i'll be back later
Jul 29 09:19:48 <becreuz> hmm
Jul 29 09:19:53 <caplink811_log> [root@linus unslung]$ cat rc.quota
Jul 29 09:19:54 <caplink811_log> #!/bin/sh
Jul 29 09:19:54 <caplink811_log> return 0
Jul 29 09:20:12 <caplink811_log> so the quota check (which takes long time) will diverted
Jul 29 09:21:18 <caplink811_log> and long time means really long time, in my case 80GB hdd with a lot of files on it, it needs around 15 minutes
Jul 29 09:21:47 <becreuz> aah thanks :)
Jul 29 09:46:52 <ByronT> perlguru, that 82% is more than what it should be...
Jul 29 09:47:17 <ByronT> sorry, I had to refill on coffee which turned into whole nother todo downstairs
Jul 29 10:02:37 <perlguru> ByronT, so reflash and try again?
Jul 29 10:06:27 <ByronT> I would answer yes, but you're not here to see it
Jul 29 10:10:33 <ByronT> [12:01] <ByronT> I would answer yes, but you're not here to see it
Jul 29 10:11:16 <ByronT> perlguru, that 82% indicates that your flash is *more* filled than what is normal for unslung
Jul 29 10:11:29 <perlguru> what should be normal?
Jul 29 10:11:41 <ByronT> it should *never* get over 81%
Jul 29 10:11:42 <perlguru> i am rebuilding unslung now (latest and greatest)
Jul 29 10:12:20 <ByronT> 81% is just the straight footprint of the unslung firmware
Jul 29 10:13:07 <ByronT> over that % indicates that either something has gone wrong - or you're wading into uncharted territory (installing stuff to the flash - instead of using an external rootfs)
Jul 29 10:14:07 <perlguru> as far as i know, i didn't do that
Jul 29 10:14:40 <ByronT> you didn't
Jul 29 10:14:57 <ByronT> it's a side effect of the problem that we're trying to get around
Jul 29 10:15:25 <perlguru> have you made a wiki page yet?
Jul 29 10:15:55 <ByronT> not yet... I'm sorta crossing fingers that we just correct the root cause
Jul 29 10:16:44 <perlguru> did this problem start popping up with unslung 5.5 or did it popup earlier?
Jul 29 10:17:12 <ByronT> unslung 5.5
Jul 29 10:17:25 <perlguru> so, diff 5.4 and 5.5 ;)
Jul 29 10:17:57 <ByronT> well, I say 5.5, but it could have been 5.x
Jul 29 10:18:26 <perlguru> could this be r29 related?
Jul 29 10:18:28 <ByronT> the first reports were in mailing list from binary users
Jul 29 10:18:41 <ByronT> no, it's our issue
Jul 29 10:19:21 <ByronT> the rc.sysinit is not correctly determining that the hd is not there for a boot - and does not populate /dev.state
Jul 29 10:19:57 <ByronT> or I should more correctly state that as a result of the rc.sysinit prob, /dev.state does not get populated...
Jul 29 10:20:25 <ByronT> so when you then /sbin/unsling, and cp /dev.state to the hdd... it's blank
Jul 29 10:20:37 <ByronT> so it hangs on the reboot
Jul 29 10:21:30 <perlguru> ah, i see. looking as rc.sysinit now...
Jul 29 10:24:03 <perlguru> dont see strange things..
Jul 29 10:24:40 <ByronT> I'm working from memory here... so I could be wrong... :)
Jul 29 10:27:54 <perlguru> flashing now...

Jul 29 10:36:52 <ByronT> k
Jul 29 10:36:56 <ByronT> and?
Jul 29 10:37:36 <perlguru> still flashing the ready led
Jul 29 10:38:45 <perlguru> ethernet led is also flashing like crazy
Jul 29 10:39:23 <perlguru> still no luck
Jul 29 10:40:18 <perlguru> slug is pingable
Jul 29 10:40:32 <ByronT> you didn't happen to reformat the drive before unslinging?
Jul 29 10:40:34 <perlguru> hdd led flashed!
Jul 29 10:40:39 <perlguru> BEEP!
Jul 29 10:40:46 <ByronT> aha
Jul 29 10:40:52 <perlguru> that took long!
Jul 29 10:41:19 <ByronT> it can...
Jul 29 10:41:21 <perlguru> no, i did not reformat hdd
Jul 29 10:41:35 <ByronT> turns out you didn't need to... :)
Jul 29 10:41:35 <perlguru> retest, rebooting... ;)
Jul 29 10:41:59 <perlguru> starting...
Jul 29 10:42:24 <perlguru> disk1 green
Jul 29 10:42:59 <perlguru> slug pingable again
Jul 29 10:43:04 <perlguru> oops
Jul 29 10:43:37 <ByronT> no "oops" allowed in here!
Jul 29 10:43:50 <caplink811_log> define oops pls...
Jul 29 10:44:05 <perlguru> no slug is not pinagable yet pressed return to quickly ;)
Jul 29 10:44:24 <caplink811_log> ;-)
Jul 29 10:44:45 <perlguru> ready still blinking
Jul 29 10:45:46 <perlguru> ready still blinking
Jul 29 10:46:02 <ByronT> can I recommend the serial mod to you?
Jul 29 10:46:32 <perlguru> you can try ;)
Jul 29 10:46:36 <perlguru> slug pingable again!
Jul 29 10:47:05 <perlguru> beep!
Jul 29 10:47:18 <perlguru> booting takes about 5 minutes....
Jul 29 10:48:18 <ByronT> something funky is going on there....
Jul 29 10:48:39 <ByronT> is that a "turboslug"
Jul 29 10:48:52 <perlguru> no a slugslug ;)
Jul 29 10:49:59 <ByronT> hmmm... without serial, it's fairly hard to tell what's chewing up time in your boot
Jul 29 10:50:26 <caplink811_log> freshly flashed slug, out of the box, dunno if there is quota checking enabed, or disabled, you may check this in the webif
Jul 29 10:51:17 <ByronT> yeah, but with a freshly formatted hd, there's virtually nothing that quota would take time to check
Jul 29 10:51:29 <perlguru> quota checking, good hint. i'll divert it ;)
Jul 29 10:51:51 <caplink811> but i dunno what's quotad do
Jul 29 10:52:59 <caplink811> divert rc.quota is one side, disable quotad the other
Jul 29 10:54:00 <perlguru> i haven't add any users yet. so no users with quotas
Jul 29 10:54:22 <caplink811> Klendathu, right
Jul 29 10:54:39 <caplink811> grumpf, xchat drives me crazy
Jul 29 10:54:50 <caplink811> ok, right
Jul 29 10:55:16 <klen> howdy
Jul 29 10:55:35 <klen> anyone using or compiling dovecot?
Jul 29 10:56:25 <caplink811_log> miau drives my crazy too
Jul 29 11:09:40 <perlguru> are the feeds slow atm?
Jul 29 11:11:36 <perlguru> wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/cross/openssh_3.8p1-3_armeb.ipk -> 285.48B/s
Jul 29 11:17:53 <caplink811_log> may be, sf.net is slow the last days
Jul 29 11:18:47 <perlguru> now it is normal
Jul 29 11:25:33 <becreuz> what's up with the .unslung file in the root?
Jul 29 11:27:09 <caplink811_log> version info, should be there
Jul 29 11:28:22 <becreuz> spiffy
Jul 29 11:28:37 <becreuz> oh and it hasnt given anything about the disk yet either
Jul 29 11:28:51 <becreuz> and the disk works on both the linux and mac machines :(
Jul 29 11:29:59 <caplink811_log> disk isn't shown in the webif, but it's mount, and functional?
Jul 29 11:30:08 <becreuz> precisely
Jul 29 11:31:06 <caplink811_log> hm
Jul 29 11:35:28 <becreuz> well i guess i could handwrangle it.
Jul 29 11:36:07 <caplink811_log> yeah, but it should work, automagically
Jul 29 11:36:17 <becreuz> yeah. but it aint so what's a guy to do.
Jul 29 11:36:33 <caplink811_log> ;-)
Jul 29 11:36:55 <becreuz> there's astonishingly  little information out on how to mockup disk1 and unsling to it
Jul 29 11:38:57 <caplink811_log> is that a fresh disk, or have you used it before with an other unslung version?
Jul 29 11:39:16 <becreuz> bought today :)
Jul 29 11:40:09 <caplink811_log> anything about disc/enclosure combi in http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/database?method=reportRows&tbl=1
Jul 29 11:40:11 <caplink811_log> ?
Jul 29 11:40:25 <becreuz> i don't have a yahoo id :)
Jul 29 11:40:44 <becreuz> but the enclosure did work last week on one of the other nslu's :)
Jul 29 11:40:54 <caplink811_log> ah, ok
Jul 29 11:41:15 <caplink811_log> you've owned a slug army ;-)
Jul 29 11:42:18 <becreuz> nha just four :p
Jul 29 11:42:27 <becreuz> well three... made a brick with openslug :p
Jul 29 11:43:52 <caplink811_log> sincere condolences
Jul 29 11:44:14 <becreuz> thanks ;_;
Jul 29 11:50:25 <klen> i was just figuring out if I should go from unslug to openslug but I think I know what to do know :-0
Jul 29 11:52:38 <becreuz> fuggedaboutit
Jul 29 13:48:46 <becreuz> is it safe to assume that if i put the appropriate paths for the rootfs and /share/hdd in fstab that it'll work on reboot?
Jul 29 14:11:35 <Burton> is it possible to install rtorrent "http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Communications/Filesharing/rTorrent-2673.shtml" on the slug, or do the programs have to be rewritten to be usable in the slug?
Jul 29 14:12:46 <becreuz> there's three torrent apps availible on it :)
Jul 29 14:14:26 <Burton> I can't get any of them to work besides ctorrent, and with ctorrent I cant make the patches work
Jul 29 14:15:10 <becreuz> ah :/
Jul 29 14:43:43 <becreuz> caplink811_log: fixed it :D
Jul 29 19:22:02 <landslide> if i am in xdm, how do i bail out to the normal text console?
Jul 29 19:22:14 <landslide> i've run out of disk space and it doesn't let me login.
