Jan 01 12:23:18 ice Jan 01 12:23:22 nice Jan 01 12:23:22 it was a hell of a job Jan 01 12:23:34 reflashed for the second time Jan 01 12:23:37 reformated Jan 01 12:23:44 in windows Jan 01 12:23:51 scandisked in windows Jan 01 12:24:00 copied 200 gig to it Jan 01 12:24:04 scandisked Jan 01 12:24:08 defragged Jan 01 12:24:15 then to the slug Jan 01 12:24:32 rebooted the slug manually, because it wouldn't stop Jan 01 12:24:38 then formated the hd Jan 01 12:24:56 and it works only 1 thing concerns me: Jan 01 12:25:45 the concern is gone! Jan 01 12:25:45 what thing?

Jan 01 12:30:08 same for mysql? Jan 01 12:30:09 when you wnat shutdown, run shutdown wait until the nslu2 switch off, and then switchoff the hd Jan 01 12:30:19 ok Jan 01 12:30:42 at startup, poweron the hd, wait around 30 secs, and then switch the nslu2 on Jan 01 12:30:57 ok fine Jan 01 12:31:25 you want install php and php-apache, and mysql and php-mysql Jan 01 12:31:36 ok thnx Jan 01 12:32:02 do I need to reboot in between? Jan 01 12:32:42 imho, not until all packages are installed Jan 01 12:32:51 ok Jan 01 12:33:09 had a nice evening yesterday? Jan 01 12:33:48 yes and no, the italian restaurant was bad (realy), but the show after that was nice Jan 01 12:34:07 political cabaret Jan 01 12:34:14 nice! Jan 01 12:34:41 but it was not so bad you did have to puke? Jan 01 12:35:28 no, not that kind ;), but bad service, and food without any taste Jan 01 12:35:40 ic Jan 01 12:36:01 whats about your start in the new year? Jan 01 12:36:12 mmmm Jan 01 12:36:14 dull ? Jan 01 12:36:28 I have been to my grandma, parents etc Jan 01 12:36:40 my children woke up at 7! Jan 01 12:37:02 and when they are awake the whole house is..... ;P Jan 01 12:40:33 so no kind of party at all.. Jan 01 12:40:48 no I had my time... Jan 01 12:41:01 but u never know...maybe next year? Jan 01 12:41:11 :) Jan 01 12:41:18 ;) Jan 01 12:41:33 u know phpsysinfo? Jan 01 12:41:42 yes Jan 01 12:41:50 it's good? Jan 01 12:42:09 it give some sysinfos, as the mention Jan 01 12:42:20 as the name mention Jan 01 12:42:27 I know but are there any better? Jan 01 12:42:40 nope Jan 01 12:42:43 k Jan 01 12:42:48 try that later Jan 01 12:44:18 fschmitt, still around? Jan 01 12:45:04 mmm Jan 01 12:45:22 the reboot is taking quite a few minutes now.... Jan 01 12:45:48 maybe ok, because you don't have disable quotas atm Jan 01 12:46:08 k Jan 01 12:46:47 depending on your disksize it could take 10 to 15 minutes Jan 01 12:46:54 ic Jan 01 12:48:00 running again Jan 01 12:48:17 can I run telnet at boot? Jan 01 12:48:18 if you don't need disk quotas you can override this behaviour with a diversion script Jan 01 12:48:33 or do I need to go into the webui Jan 01 12:48:47 webui, and enable it Jan 01 12:48:52 k Jan 01 12:49:06 1st thing to install should be dropbear or openssh Jan 01 12:49:12 to avoid this Jan 01 12:49:24 which do u prefer? Jan 01 12:49:47 they work both for me, dropbear is mcuh smaller/lighter Jan 01 12:50:03 and no configuring either? Jan 01 12:50:35 there are howto pages in the wiki, and yes some parameters must set Jan 01 12:50:53 openssh doen't need that does it? Jan 01 12:51:00 but they both starts automagically, so there is no need to enable telnet in the future Jan 01 12:51:11 ic Jan 01 12:52:10 happy new year !! to all people here Jan 01 12:52:22 u2! Jan 01 12:52:26 Mika_, happy new year to you too Jan 01 12:52:36 thx Boomcar and caplink811_log Jan 01 12:58:49 http://pastebin.com/486264 Jan 01 12:58:57 Is this any good CAPlink? Jan 01 13:00:36 it is not bad... seems there are some probs with access right to /dev or /dev/random Jan 01 13:00:49 k Jan 01 13:01:02 will be testing dropbear in a moment Jan 01 13:05:54 I am going to search for the dropbear info on the site Jan 01 13:06:16 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseDropBearForRemoteAccess Jan 01 13:06:33 found it Jan 01 13:06:38 u are fast! Jan 01 13:07:52 it won't connect and it should , I think Jan 01 13:09:24 if dropbear isn't running (ps -ef) then you should run ipkg remove dropbear, chmod 777 /dev chmod 777 /dev/random and chmod 777 /dev/urandom and install dropbear again Jan 01 13:09:46 but it's running Jan 01 13:09:52 ok Jan 01 13:10:08 but it doesn't allow me to connect Jan 01 13:10:09 any hints, what happens, in /opt/var/log Jan 01 13:10:14 screen remains black Jan 01 13:11:36 stupid Q: how do I read the log? Jan 01 13:13:37 in /opt/var/log there should be a file called messages, and maybe a file daemon.log, just cat filename, what ever is interesting, it should be in the last 20 lines Jan 01 13:13:49 log is emmpty Jan 01 13:14:10 what's about /var/log ? Jan 01 13:14:58 empty Jan 01 13:15:55 hm, then it is time to kill dropbear (killall dropbear) and verify that it isn't running (ps -ef) Jan 01 13:16:29 remove and install openssh Jan 01 13:16:30 ? Jan 01 13:16:44 no, not yet Jan 01 13:16:49 k Jan 01 13:17:19 it's off now Jan 01 13:18:22 can you run dropbear --help, so there should be a possibility, that it doesn't detached at startup Jan 01 13:18:56 no such file or dir?! Jan 01 13:19:07 or /opt/sbin/dropbear --help or /opt/libexec/dropbear --help, dunno where it is ainstalled Jan 01 13:20:27 http://pastebin.com/486285 Jan 01 13:20:39 this is the output Jan 01 13:21:49 hm, /path/to/dropbear -F seems that what we need Jan 01 13:22:04 what to do with it? Jan 01 13:22:16 just run as above described Jan 01 13:25:25 if you try to log in, do you see any output in the telnet session? Jan 01 13:25:50 It doesn't respond anymore ;( Jan 01 13:26:17 I don't get # anymore Jan 01 13:27:16 try hit and c at the same time Jan 01 13:27:30 better Jan 01 13:27:34 logging in now Jan 01 13:27:40 if that don't work, try a 2nd telnet session Jan 01 13:28:59 network connection time out Jan 01 13:29:10 once again Jan 01 13:29:44 yep. with strg-c you've ended dropbear Jan 01 13:30:02 and what do I do then? Jan 01 13:30:23 so, /path/to/dropbear -F given no output on the console.. Jan 01 13:30:33 no Jan 01 13:31:01 that wasn't what i guess Jan 01 13:31:13 mm Jan 01 13:31:21 how do I quit dropbear? Jan 01 13:31:29 killall doesn't work Jan 01 13:31:34 if dropbear isn't running (ps -ef) then you should run ipkg remove dropbear, chmod 777 /dev chmod 777 /dev/random and chmod 777 /dev/urandom and install dropbear again Jan 01 13:32:10 watch this Jan 01 13:32:11 http://pastebin.com/486310 Jan 01 13:32:47 reboot the slug? Jan 01 13:33:19 1st use killall instead of killal Jan 01 13:33:47 no process killed! Jan 01 13:34:19 if this won't work (kill) then try kill -9 `pidof dropbear` Jan 01 13:35:04 not working either Jan 01 13:35:47 but dropbear should e dead (ps -ef ?) Jan 01 13:36:06 it is ;o) Jan 01 13:36:21 if dropbear isn't running (ps -ef) then you should run ipkg remove dropbear, chmod 777 /dev chmod 777 /dev/random and chmod 777 /dev/urandom and install dropbear again Jan 01 13:36:29 k Jan 01 13:37:13 how do I know if it's really uninstalled? Jan 01 13:38:48 we assume that ;) Jan 01 13:39:17 no ipkg list blabla or something Jan 01 13:39:18 ? Jan 01 13:39:47 ipkg list_installed | grep dropbear should give no result Jan 01 13:40:07 k Jan 01 13:41:13 done Jan 01 13:41:31 any errors?

Jan 01 14:09:21 at first, i wanted to use the slug as gateway to the internet... Jan 01 14:09:51 nokia 6230 -> bluetooth -> nslu2 -> dsl-router -> internet Jan 01 14:10:33 but i realised that the nokia is to limited :-P Jan 01 14:10:59 it can't be configured to use a bluetooth link for accessing the internet Jan 01 14:11:43 hm, imho a laptop and a wlan connection seems to be more useful Jan 01 14:13:06 i know... but... that would be too easy ;-) Jan 01 14:13:55 ;)... damn, data died Jan 01 14:15:42 okay... cables set up... powering up Jan 01 14:27:33 happy newyear Jan 01 14:27:44 ~botsnack Jan 01 14:27:44 orda: thanks Jan 01 14:28:12 orda, happy new year for you too Jan 01 14:28:24 :) Jan 01 14:29:33 it's a funny thing about newyear party.. it allways ends up beeing far out crazy :) Jan 01 14:46:34 good morning :-) Jan 01 14:47:03 "nut" is finally working Jan 01 15:47:50 im a noob really, but i want to be able to access my slug from any computer - not just those on my network - how do i go about doing so? Jan 01 15:49:02 hi Lunar_Lamp hapy new year at all Jan 01 15:49:24 Lunar_Lamp, what kind of access you've planed? Jan 01 15:49:48 just being able to upload/download files to non-admin Jan 01 15:49:58 admin access would be nice as well - but as remote storage is main prioroty Jan 01 15:50:06 and a happy new year to you caplink811! Jan 01 15:50:54 so ssh is one of the save way, if your client running win then putty and winscp just work fine Jan 01 15:51:19 yeah - i have ssh enabled on it Jan 01 15:51:43 that relies on constant ip though right? Jan 01 15:52:12 so, your router should be able to forward a connection on port 22 to the slug, that's it Jan 01 15:52:12 i cannot guarentee thati don't think - so can i set up some kind of automated process that will send out an email every 24hours with the ip address? Jan 01 15:52:50 there are some pages in the wiki, about dyndns or so, that is what you need Jan 01 15:53:12 ok - i'll take a read through Jan 01 15:53:20 want to get it sorted in the next hour or so if possible though Jan 01 15:55:11 Lunar_Lamp, http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/SetUpYourOwnStaticLinkToYourSiteAtADynamicIP Jan 01 15:55:21 oo - thaks! Jan 01 15:55:34 or Jan 01 15:55:34 just found it a couple of seconds before ;-) Jan 01 15:55:35 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/DynDNSupdate Jan 01 15:56:29 gah - i need to upload the script to a website? Jan 01 15:57:16 not realy, you could use a service like dyndns Jan 01 15:57:38 oh? i oviously misuderstood the initial instructions :-/ Jan 01 15:57:53 2nd link Jan 01 15:58:26 most routers can handle dyndns or equal services Jan 01 15:58:58 so you can reach your homenetwork via bla.dyndns.org (e.g.) Jan 01 15:59:16 ok - i'm gonna try following those instructions Jan 01 16:04:55 i don't understand the purpose of the dyndns website :-/ Jan 01 16:06:17 well, you can own an named adress, e.g. thisismyadress.dyndns.org and the service point this adress to the ipadress (wan side) of your router Jan 01 16:06:56 so you can reach everytime thisismyadress.dyndns.org:22 your slug via ssh (e.g.) Jan 01 16:07:15 Lunar_Lamp, every time your router reconnects to the internet, it connects to that dyndns.org website and submits it's actual ip-address, dyndns.org update their dns-server-files to point your HOMEIP.dyndns.org address to your current ip-address Jan 01 16:07:33 i think i get it now - i was looking at the wrong options on dyndns site :-/ Jan 01 16:07:58 EvilDevil, gl -> good luck Jan 01 16:08:08 or Jan 01 16:08:13 ~wtf gl Jan 01 16:08:16 Gee... I don't know what gl means... Jan 01 16:08:34 do i want to enable wildcards in the dyndns setup? Jan 01 16:09:06 caplink811, i.c. :) Jan 01 16:15:09 caplink811 - on http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/DynDNSupdate - the script at the top of the page - there is only one place i have to edit the domain name - despite the fact that i am using "lunarlamp.dynalias.org"? Jan 01 16:15:57 Lunar_Lamp, normally your router should handle this Jan 01 16:16:02 actually - yes - i understand the script now Jan 01 16:16:22 how do i know if it handles it? Jan 01 16:16:36 what brand of router do you own? Jan 01 16:16:39 belkin Jan 01 16:17:12 Boomcar, kids and wife are to bed, now?

Jan 01 16:20:04 * caplink811 is heading to bed now, must work in the morning :( Jan 01 16:20:15 good night caplink Jan 01 16:20:39 gnite all, or nic eevening, or morning.. where ever you are Jan 01 16:21:54 er - belkin f5d7630-4a Jan 01 16:21:55 i think Jan 01 16:21:58 from memory Jan 01 16:22:01 cant get to it right now Jan 01 16:31:14 right Jan 01 16:31:44 i have followed the instructions on athe first part of http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/DynDNSupdate Jan 01 16:32:42 how does it enable me to login via putty on a windows pc to my slug? sorry to have to be led slowly through this - but i am not good at network stuff in any way shape or form Jan 01 17:19:34 When Installing OpenSlug on a 256MB USB Memory stick, what are good sizes for the three partitions? Jan 01 17:35:08 surely you're not going to put swap on a memory stick Jan 01 17:37:24 Surely I am not Jan 01 17:38:14 then why not just 2 partitions **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 02 11:55:02 2006 Jan 02 12:03:47 morning Jan 02 12:29:20 I wonder if someone out there could help me...I've searched the whole Wiki, but found no information for my specific problem: Unslung 5.5 is working very well.
