**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 13 02:59:57 2006 Jan 13 07:38:02 hi Jan 13 07:38:46 I want my slug for backups (samba) and torrents (via SSH), should I use OpenSlug or unslung? Jan 13 07:39:33 any recommendation on performance? Jan 13 07:53:29 that's a typical unslung setup Jan 13 07:57:00 thanks... so the difference between unslung and openslug (which is supposed to be smaller) doesn't matter? Jan 13 07:57:44 anything that should make me instll py-torrent or something instead of my favorite ctorrent? Jan 13 08:13:14 having a little problem with apche...can anyone help me? Jan 13 08:19:42 cwebb1977: openslug is a do-it-yourself linux. It does not contain all the packages unslung has. Unslung is the esaier way. It's not as bleeding edge as openslug, but it does contain the normal linksys-stuff. Jan 13 08:19:55 Boomcar: what king of problem ? Jan 13 08:20:52 installed php-gd Jan 13 08:21:00 and apache won't boot anymore Jan 13 08:31:29 thanks, actually I like DIY, hmm Jan 13 08:37:36 cwebb1977: warning: compiling a package for openslug as a pain-in-the-ass. it's not just make; make install;. You have to setup a cross-compiler and a dozen helper-libs (more or less by hand). And you losse the fancy linksys-web-GUI. If you are a linux-user and know howto use ssh, ifconfig, mount and /etc/fstab: no problem. Jan 13 08:38:43 hmm, I have two linux guys at hadn for my slug-install-party so that woudn't be a problem, but I think I'll stay with unslung Jan 13 08:39:04 you can always switch later. Jan 13 08:39:36 that's what I was thinking, and I guess performance for openSSH and ctorrent won't change much Jan 13 08:40:52 yes and no: with unslung you losse a bit of RAM for the linksys-GUI. Since there is only 32 MB to start with... on the other side openssh and torrents should not need that much RAM. Jan 13 08:41:13 okay, unslung it is! thanks p. Jan 13 08:41:30 np Jan 13 11:32:09 guys..I need some help..I had opendebianslug installed but then it stopped working...I reloaded the unslung firmware..all seems ok on the slug..but I cannot ping 192.168.1.77 or open the web interface..what can I do next ? Jan 13 11:33:19 this happens when you booting without a disk attached? Jan 13 11:34:03 yes Jan 13 11:34:12 and 192.168.1.77 is that the ip the slug used usually in your network? Jan 13 11:34:22 no disks attached..it is connected via a x-over cable directly to my laptop.. Jan 13 11:34:36 no..it was using 172.30.7.77 Jan 13 11:34:46 but after firmware load..would it keep the old IP ? Jan 13 11:34:51 so it should be on that adress Jan 13 11:35:04 imho, yes Jan 13 11:35:19 ok..I will try that.. Jan 13 11:35:45 so change also the ip adress from your network card MakMoer to that range Jan 13 11:35:51 evening @ all Jan 13 11:35:58 Mika__, :) Jan 13 11:36:39 hey caplink811_log Jan 13 11:42:15 thanks..you were right..I can connect to it again..I will install openslug and opendebianslug again.. Jan 13 11:42:43 ~emulate rwhitby Jan 13 11:42:44 well, my work here is done Jan 13 11:44:20 ~wtf rwhitby Jan 13 11:44:22 Gee... I don't know what rwhitby means... Jan 13 11:45:03 caplink811_log - What I had was opendebianslug running on a USB memstick (512MB). I had no problems. What I did then was to presss te power button to switch it off and then we it booted again. The disk 1 light for the usb stick was off.. Jan 13 11:45:30 I also tried booting and connecting to it when booting with no disk..but it did not work..any ideas ? Jan 13 11:46:37 caplink811_log: what is rwhitby Jan 13 11:46:57 yes, in that case, you should search for /tmp/.recovery, this file should normally removed when the system comes up, if it is still there when the system goes down, then the slug switched to romfs at boottime Jan 13 11:48:11 what is romfs ? what settings are in there? The factory defaults ? Jan 13 11:48:41 MoerMak, sorry my fault, staying in ramfs Jan 13 11:49:01 Mika__, http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/WhoIsWho Jan 13 11:49:41 MoerMak, http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DiskNotMountedAtBoot Jan 13 11:49:57 caplink811_log : I still have my usb stick with opendebianslug..can I just load the openslug firmware and jump to step 16 of installing opendebianslug ? Jan 13 11:50:07 Project Manager from nlsu .. Jan 13 11:50:29 thx:) Jan 13 11:50:53 MoerMak, step 16 is ? turnup ? Jan 13 11:51:20 yes Jan 13 11:51:42 in my case : turnup memstick /dev/sda2 -t ext3 Jan 13 11:51:51 maybe, yes, hadn't try that Jan 13 11:51:58 ok..I will give it a go.. Jan 13 11:52:27 what worries me is that after it did not want to boot from the memstick anymore..I could not even ssh in without booting with any disks.. Jan 13 11:53:15 I also overclocked my slug..I hope I did not screw it up..he he Jan 13 12:01:33 just redoing step 16 worked 100% Jan 13 12:01:54 I just had to mount my root fs and delete the .recovery manually.. Jan 13 12:02:11 nice Jan 13 12:02:49 so, one should always do a "shutdown -h now" to shut it down ? Jan 13 12:03:17 ~test Jan 13 12:14:00 MoerMak, the work is done in /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh (see the last lines) Jan 13 12:18:47 my system is now running 100% again.. Jan 13 12:18:53 like it was earlier..so I am happy.. Jan 13 12:19:13 also running at : BogoMIPS : 263.78 Jan 13 12:19:14 he he Jan 13 12:37:17 Processor : XScale-IXP425/IXC1100 rev 1 (v5b) Jan 13 12:37:17 BogoMIPS : 263.78 Jan 13 12:37:17 Features : swp half thumb fastmult edsp Jan 13 12:37:17 Hardware : Intel IXDP425 Development Platform Jan 13 12:37:17 Revision : 0000 Jan 13 12:37:19 Serial : 0000000000000000 Jan 13 12:37:23 same :D Jan 13 14:45:47 is it smart and porseble to use your slug as proxy for www ? Jan 13 14:50:43 hm, the only proxy package is squid, and the slug only has 32 mb memory, so, possible, yes, useful, dunno Jan 13 14:52:17 yes i was curios about it .. but you think it is not smart..because it is now stable Jan 13 14:59:08 i think, that there is less memory in the slug, and i think, that a user shouldn't notice, that there is a proxy in his connection (by answertime) Jan 13 15:02:41 ok ..so forget that option :) Jan 13 15:03:08 uptime almost 17 days Jan 13 15:03:17 so stable is it now Jan 13 15:03:38 attention, vpenis ;) Jan 13 15:03:40 [root@linus root]$ uptime Jan 13 15:03:40 23:03:44 up 89 days, 23:38, 0 users, load average: 1.00, 1.01, 1.00 Jan 13 15:05:05 hm, there is at least 1 user with 4 screen sessions on that machine 1 != 0, curious Jan 13 15:06:52 RX bytes:4214054141 (4018.8 MiB) TX bytes:217870195 (207.7 MiB) Jan 13 15:07:02 23:02:54 up 16 days, 23:39, 0 users, load average: 1.02, 1.02, 1.00 Jan 13 15:08:04 with irssi / thttpd /cups / miau / and NFS disk from all pc here Jan 13 15:08:19 but 89 days is a long time to go for me Jan 13 15:08:21 the output above is from ifconfig ? Jan 13 15:08:25 yes Jan 13 15:08:31 ifconfig ixp0 |grep "RX by" Jan 13 15:09:00 RX bytes:1013490359 (966.5 MiB) TX bytes:3016972160 (2.8 GiB) Jan 13 15:09:00 only i think it is to less Jan 13 15:09:21 which is curious too, note the gb/mb output Jan 13 15:09:30 or are you sure it is right Jan 13 15:10:09 mean the difference between your output, and mine, yours is in mb 4000, mine is in gb 2.8 Jan 13 15:10:50 my dreambox ( what is conect with the slug ) gives this from 2 days RX bytes:2793113505 (2.6 GiB) TX bytes:774806841 (738.9 MiB) Jan 13 15:11:43 so that is more then the slug what is up much longer Jan 13 15:12:58 i'm stumble about the format of the output, not the amount Jan 13 15:15:35 yes i see Jan 13 15:15:46 maybe version ? Jan 13 15:15:58 unslung 5.5 ? Jan 13 15:16:41 yes, but my ifconfig is in /opt/bin so it is one from a package, i'll bet, yours is in /sbin as a link to busybox Jan 13 15:18:23 whereis dont work caplink811_log Jan 13 15:18:42 maybe which will do the job Jan 13 15:20:19 find / gives /sbin/ifconfig Jan 13 15:20:29 find / -name ifconfig should work too Jan 13 15:20:50 that is the one, that is a link to busybox Jan 13 15:21:02 so, ok, that is clear now :) Jan 13 15:21:16 :) Jan 13 15:21:48 so you install a other busybox ? Jan 13 15:22:05 or some other toold Jan 13 15:22:10 tools* Jan 13 15:23:31 no, me thinks, that is a part from some selfbuild packages, maybe shellutils, or something like that, done it month before, lost the sources and packages, not more aware of this Jan 13 15:24:59 ok ... it is not important also because both working Jan 13 15:25:31 the only what i miss is the "tab" to make words compleet Jan 13 15:25:44 but you can learn now to write good lol Jan 13 15:26:22 then you should install bash Jan 13 15:27:31 which can handle command completion Jan 13 15:27:51 yes ok but u must edit .profile also or not ? Jan 13 15:28:04 or /etc/passwd ? Jan 13 15:28:35 You two realise the RX-counter is only 32 Bit and should roll over after ... 4GB ? Jan 13 15:28:48 for a user != root -> change login shell in /share/[hdd|flash]/conf/passwd Jan 13 15:29:02 for user root add something like that to /etc/profile Jan 13 15:29:19 if [ -e /opt/bin/bash ] Jan 13 15:29:19 then Jan 13 15:29:19 /opt/bin/bash Jan 13 15:29:19 fi Jan 13 15:30:09 better, leave passwd alone, and ad only the lines above to /etc/profile Jan 13 15:30:18 s/ad/add Jan 13 15:30:54 so, if you boot with hd attached, then bash will start, if not, then nothing happens Jan 13 15:31:53 ok so i add from "if" till "fi" in etc/profile ? Jan 13 15:32:27 pumpkin0: that explanes why the output from ifconfig is not more Jan 13 15:32:49 yes, after the last existing line, and you should do a ipkg install bash Jan 13 15:34:47 ok lets try Jan 13 15:37:30 are you sure about /etc/profile because that is no file at this moment Jan 13 15:37:51 you don't use mc or vim on your slug? Jan 13 15:38:14 i use vi Jan 13 15:38:30 ls -a /etc/profile Jan 13 15:38:30 ls: /etc/profile: No such file or directory Jan 13 15:39:41 an explanation, /etc/profile is read by the login shell for every user, ~/.profile is read for the user who owns the homedir, and ~/bashrc is read by bash for the user, who owns the homedir Jan 13 15:40:04 maybe, that you never had a reason to add something to /etc/profile Jan 13 15:40:27 ok so touch /etc/profile and edit it Jan 13 15:40:32 this is my /etc/profile Jan 13 15:40:34 [root@linus etc]$ cat /etc/profile Jan 13 15:40:34 # Jan 13 15:40:34 # Bash initialization script Jan 13 15:40:34 # Jan 13 15:40:35 PS1="[\u@\h \W]$ " Jan 13 15:40:37 PATH=/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/opt/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin Jan 13 15:40:39 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH} Jan 13 15:40:43 TERMINFO=/opt/share/terminfo Jan 13 15:40:45 TERM=xterm-pcolor Jan 13 15:40:47 export PS1 PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH TERMINFO TERM Jan 13 15:40:49 if [ -e /opt/bin/bash ] Jan 13 15:40:51 then Jan 13 15:40:53 /opt/bin/bash Jan 13 15:40:55 fi Jan 13 15:41:37 so it is usefull to use your profile ?
