Jan 23 04:31:59 <LarsAC> does anyone here own an nslu and a linkstation and can compare ?
Jan 23 08:19:34 <abraksas> Hello to all...
Jan 23 08:19:53 <abraksas> I need one information...
Jan 23 08:20:06 <abraksas> I do not know if here is someone that can help me...
Jan 23 08:20:28 <abraksas> But I hope that someone will know answer to y question...
Jan 23 08:20:30 <abraksas> :)
Jan 23 08:21:36 <abraksas> I read how to add serial port (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddASerialPort), and I was wandering if there is some pinout for pl-2303 controler...
Jan 23 08:25:09 <abraksas> please?
Jan 23 11:37:59 <seanb724> anyone here have luck getting nfs to work with unslung 5.5 ? 
Jan 23 11:38:14 <seanb724> i can see what i'm exporting on a mac and pc, but can't connect... probably permission errors
Jan 23 12:18:09 <wallycharlo> hello all ... i just unslung to a new disk, and there are come things i cannot remember, hopefully someone can remind me :-) ... 1) how can i set it so that i dont always need to enable telnet from the web browser first ... and 2) how can i make it so that the new bins i get are recognised no matter what path i am in ... 
Jan 23 12:20:58 <wallycharlo> anyone ? :-?
Jan 23 12:24:48 <EvilDevil> wallycharlo: your telnet questions should be answered somewhere in the FAQ
Jan 23 12:49:13 <seanb724> anyone have a copy of the article at:  http://peter.korsgaard.com/articles/debian-nslu2.php. as that server has not been responding for a few hours
Jan 23 12:49:41 <seanb724> i guess i can use google's cached version  :-)
Jan 23 12:57:17 <Boomcar> evening ;)
Jan 23 13:12:55 <caplink811> Boomcar,  :)
Jan 23 13:13:06 <Boomcar> Caplink
Jan 23 13:13:24 <Boomcar> I tried to make a subdomain with apache....virtual hists
Jan 23 13:13:33 <Boomcar> but apache wouldn't start anymore
Jan 23 13:13:46 <Boomcar> did I make a mistake or is it a bug?
Jan 23 13:17:42 <Boomcar> Have 2 go now...maybe thursday...
Jan 23 13:17:43 <Boomcar> ;o)
Jan 23 13:18:08 <caplink811> Boomcar,  what have you done ? post the virt host section of your httpd.conf at pastebin.com
Jan 23 13:18:41 <caplink811> for the logs: each time he's in a hurry, and i'm too slow
Jan 23 13:37:15 <seanb724> i'm new to unslung, but is it just me, or are the packages out of sync with each other?  for example, instlling proftpd assumes xinetd, but a basic install assumes inetd.  and bash install seems to be hosed on home directories...
Jan 23 13:39:28 <caplink811> hi seanb724, inetd is delivered by linksys, xinetd is another inetdaemon, and proftpd depends/needs this
Jan 23 13:40:04 <seanb724> so they both should be running ?
Jan 23 13:42:32 <caplink811> no, if you install xinetd, it installs a script /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd, which kills a running inetd, and starts xinetd
Jan 23 13:43:22 <seanb724> ah ok, i see that with ps aux 
Jan 23 15:43:54 <capbot> caplink811 :)
Jan 23 15:44:01 <caplink811> ~botsnack
Jan 23 15:44:02 <capbot> aw, gee, caplink811
Jan 23 16:51:35 <wallycharlo> im trying to have telnet enabled on boot. i used a diversion script which i found in the FAQ, which should do this, but when i couldnt  reboot anymore and needed to reflash. can someone point me towards the best way of doing what i want to ? 
Jan 23 16:52:25 <wallycharlo> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/DiversionScripts
Jan 23 16:52:56 <wallycharlo> i made the file rc.xinetd as described here 
Jan 23 16:53:39 <caplink811> what is the right way, basically
Jan 23 16:54:16 <wallycharlo> ok , but when i did this i could no longer reboot anymore ...... 
Jan 23 16:56:11 <wallycharlo> which packages must i have before this will work ? 
Jan 23 16:56:33 <wallycharlo> maybe i am missing something ... 
Jan 23 16:56:56 <caplink811> no packages needed for this, it should work out of the box
Jan 23 16:57:50 <wallycharlo> one thing though .... for rebooting i did so by typing 'reboot' ... is this ok ? or should i use the switch on the slug ? 
Jan 23 17:00:04 <caplink811> the switch should work, and on the command line /sbin/halt-test is the better way, dunno what reboot (a link to busybox) do
Jan 23 17:00:30 <caplink811> and maybe, ,you should chmod 755 /unslung/rc.xinetd
Jan 23 17:00:44 <wallycharlo> ok ill give it another go .... 
Jan 23 17:10:22 <wallycharlo> ok it worked this time ... must be the fact i used the reboot command ... strange ... in other linux boxes i have reboot seems to work fine .... 
Jan 23 17:11:15 <wallycharlo> can you also tell me maybe .... how can i get all the new bins i get from downloads will work from command line no matter where i am in the directroy tree ... 
Jan 23 17:11:34 <caplink811> maybe that reboot(busybox) not umount the hd's or don't do a sync before umounting
Jan 23 17:12:08 <caplink811> <ou should extend your path variable
Jan 23 17:12:18 <caplink811> s/<ou/you/g
Jan 23 17:12:19 <capbot> caplink811 meant: you should extend your path variable
Jan 23 17:12:41 <caplink811> have you changed anything in /etc/profile before?
Jan 23 17:13:19 <wallycharlo> hmmm ... today i unslung to a new disk ... and i cant remember everything ive done in the past
Jan 23 17:13:49 <wallycharlo> ok, this profile file is not existing 
Jan 23 17:14:07 <caplink811> then you should enter -> echo "PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH" >> /etc/profile
Jan 23 17:14:24 <caplink811> and -> echo "export PATH" >> /etc/profile
Jan 23 17:14:41 <caplink811> logout and login, thats it
Jan 23 17:15:57 <wallycharlo> great thanks ... one last thing ... can i also use this file to tell him to start with a bash shell when i telnet in ? 
Jan 23 17:16:47 <caplink811_log> yes
Jan 23 17:17:18 <wallycharlo> do you know the lines i need to echo to do this ? 
Jan 23 17:17:20 <caplink811_log> add something like that to the end of /etc/profile
Jan 23 17:17:21 <caplink811_log> if [ -e /opt/bin/bash ]
Jan 23 17:17:22 <caplink811_log>         then
Jan 23 17:17:22 <caplink811_log>         /opt/bin/bash
Jan 23 17:17:22 <caplink811_log> fi
Jan 23 17:17:25 <wallycharlo> k
Jan 23 17:18:57 <wallycharlo> thank you, good nigth 
Jan 23 17:19:04 <caplink811_log> gnite
Jan 23 17:51:22 <tuv> can i enable https for the built-in thttpd web interface server?
Jan 23 18:27:09 <tuv> I get "postinst script returned status 1
Jan 23 18:27:09 <tuv> ERROR: stunnel.postinst returned 1" at the end of installing stunnel, what could be wrong?

Jan 23 19:19:03 <seanb724> this is probably more of a proftpd question, but i'm running that on a slug... but has anyone gotten this message:
Jan 23 19:19:04 <seanb724> proftpd[1568]: Fatal: <Directory>: relative pathname not allowed in non-anonymous blocks. on line 40 of '/opt/etc/proftpd.conf
Jan 23 19:19:05 <seanb724> |
Jan 23 19:19:31 <seanb724> when trying to limit the dir's or files a certain user can see?  it sounds like this diretive is only avail to anonymous users
Jan 23 19:19:37 <seanb724> but the doc doesn't make that clear
Jan 23 19:30:38 <seanb724> ok finally got it...
Jan 23 19:31:06 <seanb724> had to use <Directory /> instead of <Directory *>   :-/
Jan 23 20:06:45 <sunfish> hello
Jan 23 20:09:23 <sunfish> anyone here running debian on there nslu2?
Jan 23 20:30:25 <mekanic_> anyone have a moment to offer some help?
Jan 23 20:36:22 <sunfish> hi mekanic
Jan 23 21:02:30 <mekanic__> sunfish, you still around?
Jan 23 21:02:40 <sunfish> yup
Jan 23 21:03:20 <mekanic__> i'm trying to unsling, but im having a bit of trouble getting into redboot
Jan 23 21:03:32 <mekanic__> which id like to do before i start the process
Jan 23 21:04:11 <mekanic__> i'm running osx, so i followed those instructions
Jan 23 21:04:32 <mekanic__> but i can't even get a ping to 192.168.0.1, after i've added the route
Jan 23 21:04:47 <mekanic__> or if i've joined the same subnet
Jan 23 21:04:52 <mekanic__> any suggestions?
Jan 23 21:05:13 <sunfish> yeah
Jan 23 21:05:19 <sunfish> what mac are you using?
Jan 23 21:05:36 <mekanic__> iBook g4
Jan 23 21:05:39 <mekanic__> 10.4.4
Jan 23 21:06:27 <sunfish> well, this is what i did to get into redboot
Jan 23 21:06:40 <ByronT> with iMac's you have to disable autonegotiation on the NIC
Jan 23 21:07:27 <sunfish> turn off dhcp, plug it directly into the nslu2
Jan 23 21:07:49 <ByronT> with autonegotiation, there's just not enough of a time window open for catching redboot with an OS X machine
Jan 23 21:08:16 <mekanic__> ah, how do you do that Byron?
Jan 23 21:08:43 <ByronT> it was under the network preferences
Jan 23 21:08:57 <ByronT> (it's been a while since I did that)
Jan 23 21:09:28 <sunfish> thers a far easyer way
Jan 23 21:09:37 <mekanic__> i'm all ears
Jan 23 21:09:46 <ByronT> I don't think I said it was easy... ;)
Jan 23 21:10:32 <sunfish> hehe
Jan 23 21:11:08 <sunfish> anyways, plug it directly into the nslu2, the ibook will flip the port for you cause its smart so you dont need a crossover cable
Jan 23 21:11:10 <sunfish> then
Jan 23 21:11:25 <sunfish> fire up your teminal
Jan 23 21:11:42 <sunfish> turn on the slug
Jan 23 21:12:37 <sunfish> and type "telnet 192.168.0.1 9000"
Jan 23 21:12:55 <sunfish> and just keep hitting the up arrow and enter to do it over and over haha
Jan 23 21:13:01 <sunfish> works every time
Jan 23 21:13:11 <sunfish> when you get it hit control c
Jan 23 21:13:13 <sunfish> and your in
Jan 23 21:13:15 <sunfish> super eeasy
Jan 23 21:13:38 <mekanic__> i tried that before, but i didn't know about the DHCP thing. let me try that...
Jan 23 21:14:07 <sunfish> est your comupter to manuel, and set its ip address to 192.168.0.2
Jan 23 21:14:10 <sunfish> set
Jan 23 21:15:26 <mekanic__> ok.. be right back...
Jan 23 21:15:41 <mekanic__> .
Jan 23 21:34:14 <mekanic_> it worked!
Jan 23 21:34:27 <mekanic_> thanks sunfish and bryant. much appreciated...
Jan 23 21:39:37 <mekanic_> much much appreciated
Jan 23 21:40:33 <sunfish> great
Jan 23 21:40:39 <sunfish> what method did you use?
Jan 23 21:46:05 <mekanic_> just turning off the ethernet port in the preferences, setting the ip and netmask with ifconfig and then telnetting in
Jan 23 21:55:29 <mekanic__> thanks again
Jan 23 21:55:31 <mekanic__> good night
Jan 24 00:19:11 <sunfish> hey anyone still around?
