**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jul 29 23:59:56 2005 Jul 30 04:32:47 hmm i'm running out of swap on my unslug Jul 30 04:32:55 while updating cpan modules Jul 30 04:33:31 i find that whatever partitioned my usb disk it made the swap partition nog big enough Jul 30 04:33:51 was that the original linksys firmware or the unslung firmware? Jul 30 05:26:08 quick newb question: anybody know which package provides the nohup command? Jul 30 05:27:42 (Unslung 5.5 Beta) Jul 30 05:40:01 benny - look in Packages.filelist Jul 30 05:40:09 and then add it to the FAQ Jul 30 05:40:46 oh, he left. 9 minutes. guess he didn't want the answer that much ... Jul 30 05:41:12 Klendathu: Linksys. There is a HowTo for custom sized partitions. Jul 30 06:27:12 hello, md5 of Unslung-5.5-beta-firmware.zip is ok ? I didn't get 7e0ec615a9f8fc614aae65ac484a93d8 as on web page Jul 30 06:43:05 Please I get a wrong md5 on Unslung-5.5-beta-firmware.zip someone can check it ? Jul 30 06:59:56 rwhitby thanks, that will help me, I didn't look enough through the HowTo's Jul 30 07:01:11 ppiere, hang on, I will look for it Jul 30 07:02:51 md5sum Unslung-5.5-beta-firmware.zip Jul 30 07:02:51 b3fdbe707440e7017ba4a3937df93bde Unslung-5.5-beta-firmware.zip Jul 30 07:24:36 ok thanks, I get this one Jul 30 07:28:30 I have a problem with GCC on my box Jul 30 07:28:55 It won't link to shared libs, only static... Jul 30 07:29:06 Anyone got a tip? Jul 30 07:29:27 only if they are a mind reader ... Jul 30 07:30:21 OpenSlug? Unslung? Versions? Which libs? Which package? Which build environment? Jul 30 07:30:42 OpenSlug Jul 30 11:13:08 Jul 30 11:13:13 hmm Jul 30 11:13:41 /nick something Jul 30 11:13:49 hehe Jul 30 11:14:15 Hello there Jul 30 11:14:19 hi Jul 30 11:15:21 I've read the Wiki .. pls don't beat me :-) - I'm wondering if anyone here has managed to set up qmail? Jul 30 11:16:21 why you would use qmail, there's postfix as a package available, and it works out of the box Jul 30 11:16:42 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/QMailOnTheNSLU2 Jul 30 11:18:51 I'm working through that qmail how to - but I've hit an error trying to patch it from qmail-1.03 - to netqmail-1.05 Jul 30 11:21:56 It appeared to me that the 'QMailOnTheNSLU2' guide was saying - follow the LWQ instructions. Which I did but promptly fell on my backside. Perhaps I should look at Postfix Jul 30 11:22:37 hm. there isn't any netqmail dir in the tar archive qmail1.03 Jul 30 11:25:15 so the published patch is for netqmai-1.05, and couldn't work with qmail-1.03 Jul 30 11:26:34 As you can probably tell - I'm new to Linux so most of this goes over my head. The process is to gunzip netqmail-1.05 - tar xpf netqmail-1.05.tar - then ./collate.sh Jul 30 11:27:36 it's at the collate part that it falls over - asking for wc (wc: file or directory not found) Jul 30 11:27:50 but you can try this http://www.suspectclass.com/~sgifford/qmail/qmail-1.03-moreipme-0.5.patch with a clean qmail-1.03 Jul 30 11:28:10 hm, wc is in any package, which you should install, mom pls Jul 30 11:29:54 wc is in busybox, or in busybox-base+busybox-links Jul 30 11:30:14 so I should ipkg busybox? Jul 30 11:30:25 yep Jul 30 11:30:36 ipkg install busybox Jul 30 11:31:09 Many thanks - I'll give it a go and see what happens. Jul 30 11:31:37 and then you should change the PATH, so that the new busybox could be found, which is installed in /opt/bin Jul 30 11:32:15 PATH an environmental variable? Jul 30 11:32:49 yep, set up is in /etc/profile, and there should be something like Jul 30 11:33:12 PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin Jul 30 11:33:12 L Jul 30 11:33:15 export PATH Jul 30 11:33:23 without the L Jul 30 11:33:48 Thanks again cap Jul 30 11:33:54 np Jul 30 11:45:00 Sorry cap - I closed the IRC window before I made note of the change I had to make to Path. What was the directory I had to add again? (sorry) Jul 30 11:45:38 yep, set up is in /etc/profile, and there should be something like Jul 30 11:45:38 PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin Jul 30 11:45:38 L Jul 30 11:45:38 export PATH Jul 30 11:45:40 without the L Jul 30 11:46:47 Excellent. Jul 30 12:19:10 Cap - that worked a treat. Thanks Jul 30 12:25:26 does anybody here heard something about V23R63 firmware from linksys? Jul 30 12:30:13 apparently not. Jul 30 12:31:40 Not me sorry Jul 30 12:36:23 According to linksys-site: Release Version: 2.3 Release 29 Jul 30 12:36:29 looks like they add more USB ID into it. at least my DELL USB stick which was never worked with all previous firmware (unslung, linksys) is working absolutely perfect right now. Jul 30 12:36:33 this is in unslung 5.5 Jul 30 12:37:01 just downloaded from linksys website and installed a couple of mins ago Jul 30 12:37:10 why? Jul 30 12:37:10 23R63 Jul 30 12:37:19 for NSLU2? Jul 30 12:37:24 yes Jul 30 12:37:55 i looked on the site and it says:Release Version: 2.3 Release 29 Jul 30 12:38:11 don't be fooled by http://www.linksys.com/servlet/Satellite?childpagename=US%2FLayout&packedargs=c%3DL_Download_C2%26cid%3D1115417109974%26sku%3D1115416906769&pagename=Linksys%2FCommon%2FVisitorWrapper Jul 30 12:38:22 it is trully says R29 Jul 30 12:38:39 but inside of the archive is R63 Jul 30 12:39:07 i dont use stock firmware ;) Jul 30 12:39:35 I did't do it either Jul 30 12:40:12 I'm wondering about unslung development based on R63 Jul 30 12:40:12 unslung 5.5 is based on R29 Jul 30 12:40:27 yeap I know Jul 30 12:44:52 Quick questiong from a Noob... which ipkg would I install to get access to std linux commands such as less and more? Jul 30 12:47:20 Hello - I can't help - I'm a linux n00b .. i'll see if I can find something for you though Jul 30 12:47:56 well more is in busybox 1 Jul 30 12:49:00 more is an alias for less Jul 30 12:49:15 latest busybox Jul 30 12:49:19 ahhh Jul 30 12:49:35 I think I just stumbled upon a package actually called less too Jul 30 12:49:41 ipkg install less Jul 30 12:49:57 found out it is a page system (didnt know what a page system was before) :) Jul 30 12:50:56 thank you :) Jul 30 13:07:36 anybody know what this "ourtelnetrescueuser" is in passwd? Jul 30 13:07:59 and wether i should disable it? Jul 30 13:11:21 it is a telnet psw generated based on your mac addr Jul 30 13:12:00 made by linksys originally Jul 30 13:14:35 wipe it from /etc/passwd Jul 30 13:23:27 instead of wiping them, is setting their shell to /bin/null as secure? Jul 30 13:24:24 put a # in front of it ;) Jul 30 13:25:32 aren't admin and guest used for the webinterface? Jul 30 13:30:41 admin is used for web interface Jul 30 13:31:25 you can also create shares for guests, so guest is 'needed' Jul 30 13:32:01 indeed, and nobody is the user httpd runs as, so it to is 'needed' Jul 30 13:35:05 i disabled the rescue user (put an 'x' in the password field and set the shell to /bin/null), i will look into the rest sometime later Jul 30 13:35:19 thank you for your answers Jul 30 14:17:29 evenin lads Jul 30 14:17:57 is cfdisk availible somwhere? i'm byte-inhibited Jul 30 14:38:50 I have another linux noob question :) I am trying to install emacs on the slug. I was able to install the package, but when I go to /opt/bin and try to run emacs, it just says "no such file or directory", but I see it there. Do I need to compile it? Been searching the yahoo group, but it was not much help. Jul 30 14:44:04 try head /opt/bin/emacs Jul 30 14:44:13 it probably is a shell script Jul 30 14:44:31 ok, ill try that... Jul 30 14:46:21 hmmm... i tried "head /opt/bin/emacs" but it just came back with some strage font and went back to the prompt Jul 30 14:47:09 wha Jul 30 14:47:32 it returned the following: 4à€tEàŒÝà˜Kà¤0½à°¼¯à¼¼ Jul 30 14:47:50 sorry Jul 30 14:47:50 my system is sluggish Jul 30 14:50:45 anyone know why no salt is used in password encryption? Jul 30 14:53:05 bad for the heart? Jul 30 14:53:30 * becreuz pokes the channel Jul 30 14:53:40 ld: cannot find -ltermcap Jul 30 14:53:47 so that package is installed. Jul 30 14:53:52 who's responsible for the snafu Jul 30 14:57:22 bobby1, sorry, i don't use emacs, and haven't installed it, i thought the file would start with #!/usr/bin/env line or so Jul 30 14:57:38 and then /usr/bin/env could not be found Jul 30 15:04:26 download is slow from ipkg.nslu2 Jul 30 16:20:37 whats a good file editor on linux?

Jul 30 16:31:37 Ahhh - exellent. Do you have to open the files with a parameter - or just open them up and hack away?

Jul 30 18:54:48 kdawg: an easier way is just to install the xinetd package - it enables telnet by default Jul 30 18:55:14 oh, how do I do that? Jul 30 18:55:20 ipkg install xinetd Jul 30 18:55:31 just like that? Jul 30 18:56:04 I think I need to download it... Jul 30 18:57:53 alright I downloaded the xinetd-2.3.13.tar.gz file Jul 30 18:57:57 where should I put it? Jul 30 19:01:15 hmm Jul 30 19:01:32 any idea why if i try to do an ipkg update I get an error have downloading the 3rd file?

Jul 30 19:06:09 www.nslu2-linux.org Jul 30 19:07:08 I think I know why...I don't think it knows the DNS server since I set it using a static IP Jul 30 19:09:13 yep, that's what the FAQ entry says :-) Jul 30 19:09:40 sorry..how did you find the FAQ? Jul 30 19:09:58 do I use the wiki search engine that they have? Jul 30 19:11:22 um, fourth line on the main page, or sixth entry in the sidebar ... Jul 30 19:12:03 oh...that one... Jul 30 19:12:26 alright I think I got it Jul 30 19:12:30 thanks for your help Jul 30 19:12:33 and it would have been mentioned in the README in your binary download too ... Jul 30 19:12:38 np Jul 30 19:12:42 yeah.... Jul 30 19:12:52 speaking of helpful and such. is there a port of cfdisk somewhere? Jul 30 19:15:30 is ipkg a program that is specifically made for unslung? Jul 30 19:19:26 lol...why would you want to install xvid on the nslu2? Jul 30 19:22:40 what ssh client do you guys use? Jul 30 19:23:18 PuTTY for windows Jul 30 19:23:33 ipkg was done for OpenZaurus originally I think Jul 30 19:23:53 becreuz: dunno what cfdisk is, so probably not :-) Jul 30 19:24:07 rwhitby: ah well then. carry on old chap! Jul 30 19:24:27 ah, fdisk clone. Jul 30 19:24:40 well it is part of coreutils :) Jul 30 19:24:54 it's a ncurses frontend to fdisk Jul 30 19:25:03 well, there is coreutils for both Unslung and OpenSlug I think Jul 30 19:25:52 yeah but since i'm stuck with unslung on this loverboy i'd rather make it without it. and i sorted my problem much to my own dismay Jul 30 19:34:36 anybody know an easy to use bittorrent package? Jul 30 20:24:37 awesome Jul 30 20:24:43 I got ctorrent running Jul 30 20:24:46 with screen Jul 30 20:25:48 gonna write a HowTo for the wiki ? Jul 30 20:28:41 yeah that's a good idea Jul 30 20:31:21 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/SetupCTorrent <- there you go. Jul 30 20:31:53 kdawg: send an email with that link to nslu2-linux mailing list when it is ready to be linked into the main howto page Jul 30 20:33:21 alright cool Jul 30 20:34:47 thanks! Jul 30 20:35:42 i am still having problems with getting emacs to run on the slug. I was able to successfully run "ipkg install emacs", and I see all emacs in /opt/bin, but I dont know what to do next... I tried just executing emacs, but it says "No such file or directory". Jul 30 20:39:03 did you run "/opt/bin/emacs" (as opposed to just "emacs" ) ? Jul 30 20:40:47 shouldn't you be able to run emacs by just typing emacs though? Jul 30 20:41:22 well..ideally anyways Jul 30 20:41:26 did I mention that I was a noob :) Just tried with /opt/bin/emacs and it did give me a new error, but it was a step in the right direction. I thought I would be able to execute emacs if I was in the /opt/bin/ dir (go figure) Jul 30 20:41:52 looks like it now wants me to setup the TERM Jul 30 20:42:35 figure I should be able to just do a setenv TERM vt100?? Jul 30 20:43:13 back later .. Jul 30 20:43:16 another slight snag... it does not like the setenv command Jul 30 20:46:12 nvm found out that you have to use the export command instead of setenv.... emacs works now :) thanks everyone Jul 30 20:47:14 export command eh Jul 30 20:50:31 :) Jul 30 20:51:13 ideally, my goal is to create a mail server Jul 30 20:54:40 how does emacs help you do that? Jul 30 20:54:56 I thought it was just a editing program Jul 30 21:04:08 it is, but I am trying to setup my linux environment first :) Jul 30 21:04:18 something I have never really had to do before Jul 30 21:22:47 well I'm learning a lot Jul 30 21:22:56 off to bed, talk to you guys later **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jul 30 23:59:56 2005
