**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 09 02:59:56 2005 Sep 09 10:47:24 hi, does anyone know how to access a cdrom on openslug? Sep 09 10:48:01 I can't seem to find a device to mount; /dev/scd0 says: not a valid block device Sep 09 15:01:26 \nick fraser Sep 09 15:03:19 Is there any information anywhere about what files are copied where using unslung? Sep 09 15:03:41 Should have said at boot time rather than when unslinging Sep 09 15:03:51 cat /sbin/unsling Sep 09 15:04:21 I am thinking about what files are copied over from conf etc. Sep 09 15:05:04 I am used to redhat linux and just got the nslu2. Trying to figure out where everything is and where things need changed etc. Sep 09 15:05:49 Things like why do you need to backup your passwd file to multiple places. What part of the boot does the copying and what files are all copied? Sep 09 15:05:55 if you use optware packages, everything is in /opt/etc and the startup scripts are in /opt/etc/init.d Sep 09 15:07:17 Do all of the /etc/rc.d scripts get run first Sep 09 15:08:04 other things (original linksys) are handled by /etc/rc.d/rc.bootbin Sep 09 15:08:36 not neccesary, if you override the rc.bla by /unslung/rc.bla, Sep 09 15:09:05 depends on the exit state of /unslung/rc.bla Sep 09 15:09:21 Is there any documentation on the startup of the box with unslung? I could not find any detailed info on the wiki. Sep 09 15:09:50 return 1, execute /etc/rc.d/rc.bla, return 0 skip the /etc/rc.d/rc.bla script Sep 09 15:10:16 imho splitted at 4 or 5 pages Sep 09 15:10:31 So what is running the scripts in /etc/rc.d do we have sysvinit? Sep 09 15:12:20 cat /linuxrc ? Sep 09 15:14:29 * caplink811_log is heading off to bed now, GNite all Sep 09 15:14:44 So linuxrc runs first -> /etc/rc.d files next (override with /unslung/rc.???) then /opt/etc/init.d Sep 09 15:15:15 Thanks caplink811 Sep 09 15:15:17 imho, yes Sep 09 15:15:44 np Sep 09 22:28:48 /nick eFfeM Sep 10 02:24:46 Anyone have time to help a newbie troubleshoot a problem? Sep 10 02:26:55 just enter your problem, if there is someone around who can help you with your problem he'll respond Sep 10 02:27:52 cool... I've followed the README directions for setting up the Unslung 5.5beta, and keep getting hung-up at the same point. Sep 10 02:28:50 After "unsling" to disk 1 and reseting the root passwd (and copying the passwd file), I sync the fs and reboot. However, the slug will not respond to pings or allow web access Sep 10 02:29:12 I repeated the directions about 4 times, and get the same results every time. Sep 10 02:29:45 If I remove the usb hard drive, I and force a power cycle on the slug, I get access back. Any ideas? Sep 10 02:40:39 kq6yi, what do the leds say if you reboot. Are the two top leds green. Sep 10 02:41:10 also after unslinging reboot firest Sep 10 02:41:41 firest -> first Sep 10 02:42:07 The led report Ready: Green, Ether: Green (flashing like normal traffic on network), and Disk 1: Green Sep 10 02:42:09 also I would suggest not changing the passwd before you can boot from the disk Sep 10 02:42:49 so the leds tell that you are actually in user mode. Did you change something in an rc script? Sep 10 02:43:08 After finishing the unsling script, I still have access until I reboot the system..... Sep 10 02:43:46 I tried adding an rc.xinet script to start the telnetd upon bootup, but took it out for the last try... Sep 10 02:43:48 if your disk is otherwise virgin you might also want to start with a fresh disk to make sure that there are no unexpected surprises. Sep 10 02:44:14 make small steps Sep 10 02:44:44 On attempt number 2, I pull the external hard drive and formated it using aother computer (FAT32), then re-formatted it using the slug... Sep 10 02:44:45 after unslinging you can still keep on working as you are booted from the flash Sep 10 02:45:37 Yes.. After unsling script, I still have access to the system, but the rootfs is still pointed to the internal flash... Sep 10 02:45:52 unslinging is not much more than copying the filesystem the flash to the hard disk (and some smaller things like writing a .sda1root or something on the flash stating that i tmust boot from .sda1root Sep 10 02:45:59 after unsling and reboot? Sep 10 02:46:20 unsling itself will only copy and rootfs will still be internal. Sep 10 02:46:25 only reboot will change this Sep 10 02:46:34 I haven't tried 'chroot' yet... Sep 10 02:46:55 Sorry, "after unsling and reboot?" is when Sep 10 02:46:56 no need to Sep 10 02:47:09 I can no longer access the slug... Sep 10 02:47:23 if you unsling only data is copied to the disk. You are still running from flash at that point in time. Sep 10 02:47:44 it takes a reboot before you are running with rootfs from the disk. Sep 10 02:47:49 Yeah.. and at the point, things are still running ok. Sep 10 02:48:21 have you rebooted after unslinging? will that work? Sep 10 02:48:24 Right, after the reboot is when I lose access (and the slug won't respond to pings). Sep 10 02:49:14 but then the leds are green/green Sep 10 02:49:14 This is a carzy problem... I haven't been able to find any information on the web yet.. Sep 10 02:49:23 Yes.. LED are all green Sep 10 02:49:40 i seem to recall having this in the past as well, but I cannot really remember what I did Sep 10 02:49:48 I assume you have no uart on the slug Sep 10 02:50:23 PS.. The power button does not work after the reboot, ethier... You assume correctly. I just pulled the slug out of the box today... Sep 10 02:51:04 i had a issue like this and had to do an etra step for the password change Sep 10 02:51:33 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ChangePasswordsFromTheCommandLine Sep 10 02:51:45 read the lower half of the page. Sep 10 02:51:50 I was thinking of trying to re-flash the slug, but was hopping to find an easier solution... Sep 10 02:52:28 Yeah.. I found that FAQ as well.. I was working for the top part of the page... Did you replace the passwd file for usr/local? Sep 10 02:52:30 hm. never did that password thing. once you are unslung you can change the password on the hard disk Sep 10 02:53:04 my advise is to make smaller steps. Sep 10 02:53:06 yip Sep 10 02:53:14 clean out the hard disk Sep 10 02:53:32 unsling; no changes to xinet or password changes Sep 10 02:53:45 Right.. I have followed the above method FAQ for changing the passwd, ( not the script, but copying the passwd file to the hdd)... no lucjy Sep 10 02:54:04 reboot; then you should be able to log in using root/uNSLUng Sep 10 02:54:28 by the way: are you using DHCP? Sep 10 02:54:31 cool... I'll give that a try... Sep 10 02:54:38 If you are it might be that you get a different IP address Sep 10 02:54:43 No DHCP... Sep 10 02:54:53 ok Sep 10 02:55:02 give the small steps a try Sep 10 02:55:31 I was under the assumtion that I had to change the password before rebooting... Sep 10 02:55:47 no, it will then just remain uNSLUng Sep 10 02:55:53 you can still change it afterwards Sep 10 02:56:03 cool... let me try that... thnx Sep 10 02:56:12 It is my experience that even small changes can cause things to hang Sep 10 02:56:29 no idea why Sep 10 02:56:51 with out problems, what would be spend our time doing? Sep 10 02:58:32 lol Sep 10 02:58:52 the slug is the nicest toy I got since years. Learned a lot and had a lot of fun Sep 10 02:59:42 cool... I'm hoping to setup a WebDAV server with it, in addition to some basic file sharing... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 10 02:59:56 2005
