Dec 12 09:55:04 <caplink811_log> 2nd
Dec 12 09:55:17 <caplink811_log> tell us, what you have done before
Dec 12 09:55:23 <NSLU2-IRC> ok
Dec 12 09:55:29 <jo3l> thanks
Dec 12 09:55:32 <caplink811_log> no problem
Dec 12 09:55:36 <jo3l> well
Dec 12 09:55:44 <jo3l> i have instaled unslung firmware
Dec 12 09:55:56 <jo3l> and i have root login
Dec 12 09:56:12 <jo3l> but i want to upgrade and install new packages
Dec 12 09:56:23 <jo3l> but ipkg don't work
Dec 12 09:56:37 <caplink811_log> so you flashed the uNLSUng-5.5-beta firmware, and done what?
Dec 12 09:56:40 <jo3l> "ipkg: No such file or directory"
Dec 12 09:56:57 <jo3l> i only change root password
Dec 12 09:57:04 <jo3l> sorry my bad english ;P
Dec 12 09:57:20 <caplink811_log> had you unsling to disk1 or disk2?
Dec 12 09:57:35 <jo3l> i have an usb hard disk in disk1
Dec 12 09:58:01 <caplink811_log> and this stick was formated and recognised before from the slug?
Dec 12 09:58:06 <jo3l> yep
Dec 12 09:58:14 <caplink811_log> k,
Dec 12 09:58:17 <caplink811_log> 1st login as root
Dec 12 09:58:25 <jo3l> i'm in
Dec 12 09:58:45 <caplink811_log> the last start of the nslu was with disk/stick attached or without?
Dec 12 09:58:56 <jo3l> with in
Dec 12 09:58:58 <caplink811_log> k
Dec 12 09:59:15 <caplink811_log> 2nd use the mount command, and post the output here,pls
Dec 12 09:59:15 <jo3l> i can list HD files
Dec 12 09:59:35 <jo3l> # mount
Dec 12 09:59:56 <jo3l> . /dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2 (rw)
Dec 12 10:00:03 <jo3l> . /dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2 (rw)
Dec 12 10:00:12 <jo3l> . /dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2 (rw)
Dec 12 10:00:15 <jo3l> shit
Dec 12 10:00:25 <jo3l> . /proc on /proc type proc (rw)
Dec 12 10:00:31 <jo3l> . usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
Dec 12 10:00:39 <jo3l> . /dev/mtdblock4 on /dev.state type jffs2 (rw)

Dec 12 10:01:09 <jo3l> . /dev/mtdblock4 on /var.state type jffs2 (rw)
Dec 12 10:01:21 <jo3l> . /dev/sda1 on /share/hdd/data type ext3 (rw)
Dec 12 10:01:33 <jo3l> . /dev/sda2 on /share/hdd/conf type ext3 (rw,sync)
Dec 12 10:01:39 <jo3l> . none on /tmp type ramfs (rw)
Dec 12 10:01:45 <caplink811_log> enough :)
Dec 12 10:01:49 <jo3l> :)
Dec 12 10:02:42 <caplink811_log> so, that is why ipkg won't work, your unsling wasn't successful, your rootfs (first line above) is still on jffs (which means flash/ram)
Dec 12 10:03:09 <jo3l> i did all that the web say
Dec 12 10:03:11 <jo3l> what can i do?
Dec 12 10:03:21 <caplink811_log> follow the readme word by word?
Dec 12 10:03:25 <jo3l> ok
Dec 12 10:03:33 <jo3l> yes
Dec 12 10:03:34 <jo3l> well
Dec 12 10:04:19 <caplink811_log> k, then it may help, that you /sbin/unsling disk1 again, watch for errors, and post the output at www.pastebin.com
Dec 12 10:05:48 <caplink811_log> if you use putty as terminal program, then you can easily cut and paste
Dec 12 10:06:46 <jo3l> w8
Dec 12 10:07:25 <jo3l> but what i can do
Dec 12 10:07:31 <jo3l> reflash again?
Dec 12 10:07:49 <jo3l> where are the packages, inside flash?
Dec 12 10:08:03 <jo3l> i must download separate, and put in my usb hard disk?
Dec 12 10:08:35 <caplink811_log> as i mentioned above, run /sbin/unsling disk1 and post the output on pastebin, and do a ls -ls /share/hdd/data after unslinging, and post that output too
Dec 12 10:08:50 <jo3l> k
Dec 12 10:09:34 <jo3l> Creating /.sda1root to direct switchbox to boot from /share/hdd/data.
Dec 12 10:10:28 <jo3l> http://pastebin.com/461048
Dec 12 10:11:11 <caplink811_log> pls, post the output of the ls -ls /share/hdd/data at pastebin
Dec 12 10:12:45 <jo3l> http://pastebin.com/461053
Dec 12 10:12:47 <jo3l> now
Dec 12 10:12:53 <caplink811_log> sorry, my fault, ls -la <-
Dec 12 10:13:00 <jo3l> k
Dec 12 10:13:57 <jo3l> http://pastebin.com/461058
Dec 12 10:14:01 <caplink811_log> lokks ok, so reboot with stick attached
Dec 12 10:14:15 <jo3l> ok
Dec 12 10:15:39 <jo3l> is dangerous to overclock the slug? :)
Dec 12 10:16:15 <caplink811_log> if you mean running at 266mhz, then not
Dec 12 10:16:23 <caplink811_log> slug is up?
Dec 12 10:16:26 <jo3l> ok
Dec 12 10:16:31 <caplink811_log> login pls
Dec 12 10:16:32 <jo3l> ok
Dec 12 10:17:10 <caplink811_log> use the df or mount command to verify that the rootfs is on the stick
Dec 12 10:17:45 <caplink811_log> if you use df, the size of rootfs should equal to the size of /dev/sda1
Dec 12 10:18:00 <jo3l> w8, slug stopped?
Dec 12 10:18:05 <caplink811_log> booth mount on /
Dec 12 10:18:09 <caplink811_log> both
Dec 12 10:18:16 <jo3l> i can't telnet
Dec 12 10:18:18 <jo3l> w8
Dec 12 10:18:33 <caplink811_log> you have enalbe it evry time after a restart
Dec 12 10:18:41 <caplink811_log> enable
Dec 12 10:18:59 <jo3l> ah! ok
Dec 12 10:21:13 <jo3l> i think there is a problem with my slug
Dec 12 10:21:21 <caplink811_log> why?
Dec 12 10:21:41 <jo3l> the web acces is crappy
Dec 12 10:21:49 <jo3l> there are missing images
Dec 12 10:22:03 <jo3l> i am restarting again
Dec 12 10:22:13 <caplink811_log> which size has the mem-stick ?
Dec 12 10:22:38 <jo3l> is a hard disk
Dec 12 10:22:42 <jo3l> 200 gb :P
Dec 12 10:23:06 <caplink811_log> ah, misread
Dec 12 10:23:33 <jo3l> i logged in
Dec 12 10:24:06 <jo3l> mount
Dec 12 10:24:29 <jo3l> well, /dev/sda1 on /initrd type jffs2
Dec 12 10:24:32 <jo3l> is this?
Dec 12 10:24:39 <jo3l> df
Dec 12 10:26:01 <caplink811_log> and the next line?
Dec 12 10:26:12 <jo3l> ./dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw)
Dec 12 10:26:22 <jo3l> the hard disk
Dec 12 10:26:23 <jo3l> i think
Dec 12 10:26:24 <caplink811_log> ah, ok, successfull
Dec 12 10:26:35 <jo3l> ipkg works
Dec 12 10:26:37 <jo3l> thanks!!!!
Dec 12 10:26:37 <jo3l> :D
Dec 12 10:26:41 <caplink811_log> no problem
Dec 12 10:26:43 <caplink811_log> bbl
Dec 12 10:26:56 <jo3l> updating
Dec 12 10:26:58 <jo3l> thanks a lot
Dec 12 10:28:04 <jo3l> can i boost the samba data transfer?
Dec 12 10:28:24 <jo3l> i transfer from my pc to slug usb to 4-5 mbits second

Dec 12 11:50:51 <rramthun> hi
Dec 12 12:39:52 <Nimmit> How do I chmod a whole dir to 755
Dec 12 12:39:57 <Nimmit> I tried chmod 755 web/
Dec 12 12:40:04 <Nimmit> but none of the files in it were affected
Dec 12 12:40:31 <caplink811_log> try man chmod or google -> man chmod
Dec 12 12:40:53 <caplink811_log> as i said, you should read more, and ask less
Dec 12 12:41:03 <Nimmit> :)
Dec 12 12:47:09 <Nimmit> k
Dec 12 12:47:11 <Nimmit> got that
Dec 12 12:47:23 * Nimmit blushes
Dec 12 12:47:33 <Boomcar> Hola buenas noches ;o)
Dec 12 12:47:51 <Nimmit> still a problem, how do I make it so all new files have that same permission also
Dec 12 12:49:54 <Nimmit> nvm
Dec 12 12:52:08 <caplink811_log> Nimmit,  if you copy the files via samba ?
Dec 12 12:52:21 <Nimmit> I already got it
Dec 12 12:52:26 <Nimmit> I found the setting in SWAT
Dec 12 12:58:13 <gileswww> evenin all
Dec 12 12:58:16 <gileswww> i'm about to flash my slug
Dec 12 12:58:18 <gileswww> with unslung
Dec 12 12:59:43 <Boomcar> anyone familiar with xmail?
Dec 12 13:00:26 <gileswww> is it necessary for me to unslung after flashing ?
Dec 12 13:00:37 <gileswww> all i want is samba
Dec 12 13:03:02 <gileswww> anagement/telnet.cgi doesn't exist anymore..
Dec 12 13:03:05 <gileswww> +m
Dec 12 13:03:21 <gileswww> with the latest firmware
Dec 12 13:05:52 <caplink811_log> gileswww,  if you have a nslu2 then you have samba, independend of the firmware
Dec 12 13:07:34 <gileswww> all i want is to be able to use is a standard ext3 formatted single partition drive
Dec 12 13:07:38 <gileswww> i've copied all the files
Dec 12 13:07:49 <gileswww> but the linksys firmware says the disk is unformatted
Dec 12 13:08:20 <caplink811_log> have you tried to reboot 3 or 4 times, which disk attached?
Dec 12 13:08:48 <gileswww> it's a hitachi disk in a vantec nexstar enclosure
Dec 12 13:08:57 <caplink811_log> oh, sorry, misread, "single partition drive"
Dec 12 13:08:58 <gileswww> so i could set the power saving
Dec 12 13:10:13 <caplink811_log> there is no possibility with unslung or linksys firmware to operate on a 1 partiioned drive
Dec 12 13:10:26 <gileswww> oh
Dec 12 13:10:31 <gileswww> that sucks
Dec 12 13:10:47 <gileswww> so what does it do when it formats a drive?
Dec 12 13:10:53 <caplink811_log> and with openslug or debonaras you need at least 1 parttition + a swap partition
Dec 12 13:11:38 <gileswww> i thought the point was you could run it all from the flash
Dec 12 13:11:43 <caplink811_log> you can fake the slug at the size, but not on partition count
Dec 12 13:11:44 <gileswww> if you didn't add any packages
Dec 12 13:12:48 <gileswww> so is there no way to manually prepare a drive for the slug?
Dec 12 13:12:51 <caplink811_log> you may try port 2, sunno if there is a difference
Dec 12 13:13:05 <gileswww> it formats ext3 right?
Dec 12 13:13:16 <caplink811_log> that is ok
Dec 12 13:15:10 <caplink811_log> any chance to resize the partition?
Dec 12 13:15:44 <caplink811_log> Mika :)
Dec 12 13:16:43 <gileswww> yea i could do maybe
Dec 12 13:17:06 <gileswww> is that all the linksys format does, format ext3 and leave a small swap partition
Dec 12 13:17:23 <caplink811> if you could, then you should add 2 new partitions, one ext3 and 1 swap
Dec 12 13:18:31 <gileswww> i don't think i'll bother flashing it then
Dec 12 13:18:40 <gileswww> only thing i'm concerned about is performance
Dec 12 13:19:40 <caplink811> linksys "format" creates 2 partitions one data and one conf and one swap area
Dec 12 13:20:28 <caplink811> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/CustomSizedPartitions as entrypoint
Dec 12 13:21:11 <gileswww> cheers man
Dec 12 13:24:24 <Nimmit> caplink811_log
Dec 12 13:24:43 <Nimmit> how long does it take samba to take in effect settings made with swat
Dec 12 13:24:49 <Nimmit> if I don't use the restart button
Dec 12 13:26:19 <caplink811_log> afair, some changes may avail in the next 60 seconds, some other never, without restart, or reload
Dec 12 13:26:50 <Nimmit> k
Dec 12 13:26:56 <Nimmit> I thought it was 30 or 60 seconds
Dec 12 13:27:02 <Nimmit> but the setting was not going into effect
Dec 12 13:27:21 <gileswww> does running all these ipkg services like apache on a slug effect the samba performance?
Dec 12 13:27:35 <gileswww> i overclocked my slug btw
Dec 12 13:28:17 <caplink811_log> all apllication have to share a 266mhz proc with 32mB ram and the swap space
Dec 12 13:28:54 <Nimmit> I haven't noticed a slow down with apache, swat, telnet, and ssh with samab
Dec 12 13:28:54 <caplink811_log> if you don't do 2 or 3 things at the same time, then there is no problem
Dec 12 13:29:54 <gileswww> so if i flash with this unslung firmware will the "built in" samba be exactly the same as the linksys firmware?
Dec 12 13:30:16 <caplink811_log> hm, i feel the twonkyvision rescan on linus everytime on the ssh console, and the mrtg run on pigpen too
Dec 12 13:30:41 <caplink811_log> gileswww,  yes
Dec 12 13:30:44 <gileswww> if i get 2mb/sec or something it will be a tad disappointing
Dec 12 13:31:01 <caplink811_log> + the possibility to use telnet and install packages
Dec 12 13:31:22 <caplink811_log> normally 3-4 mB/sec
Dec 12 13:31:27 <gileswww> :/
Dec 12 13:31:43 <gileswww> i'm in 2 minds which way to go with all this
Dec 12 13:32:00 <gileswww> i'm trying to get everything dead silent
Dec 12 13:32:16 <gileswww> i've built an epia server with a notebook hd and that's silent
Dec 12 13:32:30 <gileswww> my idea with the slug was to have it in a cupboard or something
Dec 12 13:33:08 <gileswww> epia is really slow compared to my old p3 that i'm using as a server atm
Dec 12 13:33:31 <caplink811_log> gileswww,  http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/Performance
Dec 12 13:33:37 <gileswww> anyway i won't know till i try it out
Dec 12 13:33:41 <gileswww> tx for your help cap
Dec 12 13:34:27 <caplink811_log> all that depends on your needs, what will you do with your "server"?
Dec 12 14:16:18 <Mika> evening caplink811_log 
Dec 12 21:48:41 <Lunch[BoX]> anyone alive and willing to answer some questions
Dec 12 22:41:05 <esalazar> is it possible to boot openslug from a memory stick in a usb2 hub?
Dec 12 22:41:14 <esalazar> The memstick gets recognised, etc properly and I can see the copied boot filesystem but it just won't boot to it.  I can even mount it no problem
