I cannot find a working link anywhere Oct 18 08:33:32 nick low69 Oct 18 08:33:44 hello everybody Oct 18 08:34:11 hello Oct 18 09:36:07 Hello! Some one here? Oct 18 09:40:37 NSLU2-IRC: Oh yes, someone always is... Oct 18 09:57:35 hi, i have a few questions about recovering from a bad flash if anyone can help? Oct 18 09:59:02 what's the problem (assuming you have used the wiki) Oct 18 10:00:17 well i've knacjered my NSLU2 while trying to upgrade it with a new image from the linksys website, the download was corrupt and i didn't think to check it (3mb file instead of 8mb!) Oct 18 10:00:48 i've been following the instructions on the nslu2-linux site to reflash using the sercomm utility Oct 18 10:01:00 ok Oct 18 10:01:13 but i can't get into the right redboot mode Oct 18 10:01:56 i follow the instructions to do the power on cycle while holding the reset button the light goes red and i release the button and then it starts flashing orange instead of red and green Oct 18 10:01:58 if it's truly a bad flash, when you power up the nslu2 - it should just go to a flashing red / green status Oct 18 10:01:59 any ideas? Oct 18 10:02:18 no the light flashes green for about 30 seconds then just goes off Oct 18 10:02:36 sounds bad to me Oct 18 10:02:40 and the sercomm utility should find it - assuming your computer is on the same subnet Oct 18 10:02:56 so the image didn't get flashed at all Oct 18 10:03:06 which means you need to telnet into redboot Oct 18 10:03:34 so the sercomm utility won't work and i should try the telnet method? ok that sounds fun :) Oct 18 10:03:36 using arping -f 192.168.0.1; telnet 192.168.0.1 9000 Oct 18 10:03:39 once you've telnet'd into redboot, type upgrade and then fire up the sercomm utility Oct 18 10:03:50 right ok Oct 18 10:04:01 ferrix, use of sercomm indicates he's using windows Oct 18 10:04:06 ie, no arping Oct 18 10:04:16 i'll give those instructions a shot Oct 18 10:04:17 okay, well... ping helps anyway Oct 18 10:04:39 dicki, catching redboot is the hard part - but it can be done Oct 18 10:05:05 yeah thats right, i can run up knoppix if its easier? Oct 18 10:05:29 I'm not sure which knoppix distros have arping Oct 18 10:05:31 dicki: I'm not sure if there is the arping executable in knoppix Oct 18 10:05:50 catching redboot using windows isn't that bad Oct 18 10:06:00 it's equally bad Oct 18 10:06:04 lol ok Oct 18 10:06:18 i'll give it a go and report back, thanks everyone Oct 18 10:06:21 just realize that if you didn't catch it in the first five seconds, go ahead and retry Oct 18 10:06:30 just type ^C twice in the right place and you should see RedBoot> Oct 18 11:46:43 hello again Oct 18 11:47:10 thanks for your help i managed to get it working :) Oct 18 11:48:12 good deal Oct 18 11:48:44 yeah but i'm back to the problem that made me upgrade in the first place! Oct 18 11:49:01 it doesn't seem to be able to format my USB2 HDD's Oct 18 11:49:10 it says "formatting" and then hangs Oct 18 11:49:10 does it recognize them? Oct 18 11:49:19 how big are your hds? Oct 18 11:49:27 one is 300 the other is 80 Oct 18 11:49:41 the 300 could take up 30 mins or more Oct 18 11:50:20 does it compleatly stop responding while its doing it? as in no disk activity, nothing Oct 18 11:50:37 the "format" process is more than just formatting - it fdisks, then formats, then copies files Oct 18 11:50:47 ahh right Oct 18 11:51:08 so i couldn't do it on another linux pc and just plug them in? Oct 18 11:51:32 the fdisk and formatting ext3, you can Oct 18 11:51:44 but the copy of files, not really Oct 18 11:52:01 what firmware have you been trying? Oct 18 11:52:09 the latest off the linksys site Oct 18 11:52:34 NSLU2_V23R63.bin Oct 18 11:52:42 can you format one of the disk NTFS and make sure that the nslu2 can mount and share it? Oct 18 11:53:15 do you mean format it on my windows pc? i can give it a go Oct 18 11:54:11 right, because V63 of linksys has NTFS/FAT32 share capability Oct 18 11:54:58 really? thats handy, ok i will try it out. after formatting do i just plug it in and hope that it recognises it? Oct 18 11:55:45 it should - and that should tell you if there is any issue between the hdd and enclosure and your nslu2 Oct 18 11:57:48 right and if thats the case i need to buy new enclosures? otherwise i format both disks under windows and it should recognise them and run fine? Oct 18 11:59:02 something like that Oct 18 12:02:56 ok i'll give it a shot thanks again :) your a lot more helpful than linksys tech support! Oct 18 13:39:21 Is it easy to upgrade from unslung to openslug? Oct 18 13:39:34 I wouldn't miss the dodhy linksys interface at all... Oct 18 13:39:45 but am worried that I will lose all my data on the drive Oct 18 13:41:59 it should not be a problem - if you read the "turnup" instructions on openslug, you will understand why Oct 18 13:42:30 ok, thanks Oct 18 14:04:53 is the advantage of openslug the fact that linksys's services will not be running? Oct 18 14:05:23 openslug uses version 2.6 of the linux kernel and has a newer version of busybox Oct 18 14:05:56 but the main attraction for me, is configuring everything from scratch the way _I_ want it. And avoiding thttpd to serve the butt-ugly linksys web interface Oct 18 14:06:07 what features of the 2.6 kernel would you use on the slug? Oct 18 14:06:36 Marko: I remember 2.4 as having a somewhat dodgy VM subsystem Oct 18 14:06:51 so 2.6 will perhaps perform better under load Oct 18 14:06:54 possibly :) Oct 18 14:08:01 have you fattened your slug? Oct 18 14:08:11 no Oct 18 14:08:25 I would like to at some point tho Oct 18 14:08:38 me too. That's on my to do list Oct 18 14:09:09 Marko: and you'll definitely need openslug to use that extra memory Oct 18 14:10:21 bong: Am I going to lose all my configuration information for the packages I have already installed if I go for openslug? Oct 18 14:11:02 I presume so, yes Oct 18 14:11:09 I'm in the process of upgrading myself Oct 18 14:11:15 so I can't tell you for sure Oct 18 14:11:38 I didn't see elinks or lynx, is there a browser in openslug? Oct 18 14:11:44 sounds good. It took me a while to configure my slug the way I like it Oct 18 14:12:19 Writing a cd with cdrecord to an external usb enclosure is something I have never done before, this slug adventure is getting exciting. Oct 18 14:13:57 burning cds with a slug eh. That would be helpful for backups. This slug is great Oct 18 14:14:24 where is the list of openslug packages? Oct 18 14:14:53 ipkg list Oct 18 14:15:53 nm. I found: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/PackageStatus Oct 18 14:25:51 bong: how goes the install? Oct 18 14:29:52 But I may be having module issues or something, its not working as easily as I hoped. Oh well, Ill figure it out and HOWTO it Oct 18 16:04:36 I have a question, would it be to install psybnc on a slug if one installed the nessasary packages, tcl, ssl, perl, gcc etc ? Oct 18 16:13:11 I've reflashed with openslug, and I can't find the device IP Oct 18 16:13:15 help? Oct 18 16:16:38 p0ng: *ping* Oct 18 16:16:56 Tell me about you network setup. Oct 18 16:17:25 widrone: I have a wireless router to which the nslu2 is connected Oct 18 16:18:04 p0ng: I think it defaults to a 192. something ending in .77 if it fails somehow. Oct 18 16:18:10 I've portscanned the entire 192.168.*.* range using nmap Oct 18 16:18:20 nothing there unfortunately Oct 18 16:18:30 You on usb disk or from flash? Oct 18 16:19:53 USB disk Oct 18 16:21:03 p0ng: Maybe your dhcp server gave it another ip? The portscan computer is on same subnet ? Oct 18 16:21:41 but I can monitor the leases given Oct 18 16:21:53 and none have been Oct 18 16:24:03 p0ng: Hm... You shure the flash worked and its not still in upgrademode or something. Oct 18 16:25:50 it's booting according to the description in the wiki Oct 18 16:25:58 the flash was verified with the sercomm utility Oct 18 16:27:56 You tried without the disk and find it with nmap? Oct 18 16:29:13 I had some problems finding one once when I forgot to get a proper routing table for the puter I was scanning from, different subnet ofcourse. Oct 18 16:30:24 search the wiki Oct 18 16:31:24 for what? this situation is covered? Oct 18 16:31:59 nvm... looks like you got jbowler helping you out Oct 18 16:33:32 p0ng: Im running out of ideas here really, but a OK flashed openslug should reset to some default IP according the the wiki somewhere. Oct 18 16:34:22 yeah, and I have scanned the 192.168.*.* range and can't find it Oct 18 17:42:15 hi Oct 19 00:31:06 good morning Oct 19 00:31:28 anyone got an email server on the nslu2 up and running? Oct 19 00:32:07 I read the "guide" http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/QMailOnTheNSLU2 Oct 19 00:32:20 but ...for a noob like my it sounds hard :( Oct 19 00:32:31 any tips of an easyer one? Oct 19 00:55:04 what cc (C compiler) do you req to use on your nslu2 ? Oct 19 01:36:37 brb Oct 19 01:55:51 bg **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Oct 19 03:00:21 2005
