Apr 21 10:10:35 yes i know Apr 21 10:10:41 i need to make myself Apr 21 10:11:20 i think so Apr 21 10:11:38 but i dont find nothing about it on the nslu2-linux web Apr 21 10:11:42 or nothing clear Apr 21 10:11:50 Prometeo: I have no experience on building kernel on Linksys NSLU2 so far... Apr 21 10:11:56 am Apr 21 10:11:57 ok Apr 21 10:12:05 this device is amazing Apr 21 10:12:09 i put openslug on it Apr 21 10:12:11 and amule Apr 21 10:12:16 and it rocks !! Apr 21 10:12:18 :) Apr 21 10:13:09 what are you using your slug ? Apr 21 10:13:38 Prometeo: mine is acting as Bluetooth 2.0 class 1 PAN access point, and I like it... Apr 21 10:13:40 I've unslung on it and it has been operating as a fileserver with a 400gb disk since then.. Apr 21 10:13:56 jeje Apr 21 10:14:03 I had plans to do fancy stuff with it but forgot :) Apr 21 10:14:06 i try unslug but openslug kick ass Apr 21 10:14:21 i have some really nice ideas for this Apr 21 10:15:04 if only it had two ethernet ports... :) Apr 21 10:15:27 but anyway, amazing value for the price Apr 21 10:16:49 Prometeo: it was recently up for 20 days and moved hundreds of MiB of data over bridge between ethernet and Bluetooth... I consider it stable enough Apr 21 10:17:35 joga: I wish Linksys NSLU2 had IEEE-1394... Apr 21 10:18:14 hello? Apr 21 10:18:27 mine's been up for 40 days now without a hitch.. Apr 21 10:18:34 hello MWall Apr 21 10:18:36 so i guess my nick is working now... Apr 21 10:18:42 yeah Apr 21 10:19:17 im having a hard time installing the linksys. you want to try and help? Apr 21 10:19:29 joga: stability is good Apr 21 10:20:33 yes Apr 21 10:20:42 but the interesting thing is compile more modules Apr 21 10:20:45 hardware support Apr 21 10:20:47 wifi devices Apr 21 10:20:49 webcams Apr 21 10:20:53 usb world Apr 21 10:20:59 i am trying with cross tool Apr 21 10:23:08 noone? Apr 21 10:23:32 MWall we can't try to help before we know what's wrong Apr 21 10:23:39 so, tell something about it :) Apr 21 10:23:43 right about that Apr 21 10:24:04 Prometeo I thought of getting another to use as a surveillance device :p Apr 21 10:24:28 joga, this is the way iam trying :P Apr 21 10:24:56 it all started when i was isntalling unslung. i got to the part where the unslinging to the external usb is suppose to take place but when telnet into the linksys and then attach the usb it doesnīt mount at all. Apr 21 10:25:09 sure there's ip cameras already but it's more interesting to make your own heh Apr 21 10:25:33 i figure it didnīt format the usb properly using the standard linksys firmware Apr 21 10:25:36 MWall did you follow the instructions *exactly* as they said Apr 21 10:25:45 very much so Apr 21 10:25:50 very much is not enough! :p Apr 21 10:25:56 :) Apr 21 10:27:14 but it could also be a connection problem. i could never telnet into redboot either. and now in my network connections it says that the linksys is a "disconnected network drive" Apr 21 10:28:38 this is my plan. if i can just restore the original linksys firmware, get it to format the usb properly and then reflash it with unslung. but how do i restore the linksys firmware? when i try upgrading in the web interface it just says "bad file" Apr 21 10:31:56 if you could never telnet into it, you should never have unslung in the first place Apr 21 10:33:27 at least iirc, the instructions tell you very clearly not to proceed before telnet works Apr 21 10:35:06 well i *just* had problems telneting into redbot the way the instructions were written. constantly pinging and connecting through the hyperterminal and all. i had a full connecting to it in every other way. i dont know if thats a good excuse... Apr 21 10:35:07 but you do see the web interface? Apr 21 10:35:28 absolutely. trying to upload it for you to see right now actually Apr 21 10:36:35 so have you ever telnet'd succesfully to your nslu? Apr 21 10:36:48 http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/2393/1479/1600/untitled.jpg Apr 21 10:38:29 yes sure. it is so frustrating cause everything went just fine until i got to the point where i was supposed to unsling to the usb stick. when i used the mount command it said it couldnt find the device Apr 21 10:39:09 and when i format it in the web interface it says "formatted (Fat32)" Apr 21 10:39:21 which i guess is not what it is supposed to say Apr 21 10:42:24 its a tough one i know..... Apr 21 10:42:26 I can't remember the installation phases that clearly anymore...did you hotplug the disks while nslu was running at some time? Apr 21 10:43:25 because if mount fails saying the device is not found, usually the reason is because the partition is not sda1 for example, and might be sdb1, and this could be caused by unplugging/plugging the disk while the slug is running Apr 21 10:44:12 ive both hotplugged and .... not hotplugged, whatever worked. but i mean that was one of the things i made very clear to follow the instructions on. as on every other step as well ofcourse Apr 21 10:44:52 hard to tell what went wrong.. Apr 21 10:45:05 i can see that :) .... Apr 21 10:45:33 what kind of stick are you using? Apr 21 10:45:53 I mean, is it a real hard drive or a memory stick Apr 21 10:45:56 but mostly i wonder if theres any way to restore the linksys firmware, as i said i tried using the web interface but it responded witk "bad file.." Apr 21 10:46:02 memory stick. 256 mb. Apr 21 10:46:20 and you did insert it in the correct port? Apr 21 10:46:28 port 2? Apr 21 10:46:35 guess so Apr 21 10:46:38 yes Apr 21 10:46:51 though, I'm not that sure since I've unslung to a usb disk Apr 21 10:47:09 do you have any clue what might be the problem with the "bad file" dialog box? Apr 21 10:47:26 what kind of file are you giving it? Apr 21 10:48:09 nslu2_v23r63 Apr 21 10:48:11 .bin Apr 21 10:48:24 i guess thats the latest release from linksys Apr 21 10:48:28 and which version of unslung are you using Apr 21 10:48:43 6.8 beta Apr 21 10:49:43 and is the stick in the port right now? Apr 21 10:49:56 no, ive disconnected it for the time being Apr 21 10:50:44 maybe try downloading the firmware again :) Apr 21 10:51:13 or, maybe using some other program to flash it Apr 21 10:52:01 tried using sercomm but it didnt find the linksys on the network at all. ive got it all wired through a router Apr 21 10:55:16 the website tells that at least upslug requires a direct connection since it connects with a mac address.. Apr 21 10:56:02 I used a crossover cable from my laptop Apr 21 10:56:26 i dont have any problems here Apr 21 10:56:37 i really should look into that if trying again with sercomm.. Apr 21 10:56:41 good for you :) Apr 21 10:57:03 anybody of you has compiled the toolchain ? Apr 21 10:57:06 but it is really time for lunch right now. thanks for your time anyway, ill come back later today... Apr 21 10:59:05 MWall: does "cksum" of "NSLU2_V23R63.bin" match that mentioned at "http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RecoverFromABadFlash"? Apr 21 11:43:47 funny. the command "cksum" does not work in my dos prompt Apr 21 11:50:20 I got Firmware version: V2.3R24 - do I need to upgrade it before I put on the di-nslu2.bin Apr 21 11:50:46 * clars = nslu2_newbie Apr 21 11:55:09 di-nslu2.bin? Apr 21 11:56:25 1. images on this page tell me that i put on di-nslu2.bin Apr 21 12:06:47 has anyone used these seagate (round) pocket drives with nslu2? Apr 21 12:11:43 morning Apr 21 12:11:53 morning cap Apr 21 12:12:24 MWall, there are some points, that we would know, is the nslu2 in upgrade mode, aka ready led flashs red/green? Apr 21 12:12:54 if no, then the sercomm tool wont find the nslu Apr 21 12:14:13 as the readme mentioned, the upgrade page in the webinterface haven't a function within unslung-6.8 Apr 21 12:17:23 clars, which image on which page? Apr 21 12:20:17 1st out Apr 21 13:11:01 (sorry just taking a short nap) - the page is: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/ Apr 21 13:13:03 this is debianslug, you know? Apr 21 13:13:55 yes I wanna run debian on the nslu2 Apr 21 13:14:21 i cannot imagine anybody who would want to do that? Apr 21 13:15:18 hi, quick question, I'm just reflashing a brand new nslu2 with unslung6.8, the docs say it can take longer than 5 mins, mine has been going for about 15-20 now, does that sound about right? Apr 21 13:15:57 d4rr3ll, seems a little bit long, whats about the led's? Apr 21 13:16:14 still blinking red/green Apr 21 13:16:42 d4rr3ll, what kind of flashtool do you use? Apr 21 13:16:52 caplink811_log, do you know some small dns-server which resolves my local ip-adresses/hosts and forwards foreign (internet) ip-addresses/hosts to my isp's dns-server? Apr 21 13:17:03 I'm doing it through the linksys interface Apr 21 13:17:06 sounds like it's still in upgrade mode Apr 21 13:17:07 web upload thing Apr 21 13:17:19 EvilDevil, why not - the guy on that url is running debian on his nslu2 Apr 21 13:17:21 EvilDevil, what router do you use? Apr 21 13:17:51 t-sinus 1054 (running linux based firmware, but no shell) Apr 21 13:18:25 clars, oh. i c. what would be the advantage of running debian on that small thing? Apr 21 13:18:42 d4rr3ll, some action (fast flashing) on the ready led, in between? Apr 21 13:19:16 EvilDevil, do run a small webserver Apr 21 13:19:34 caplink811_log, just seems to be steady blinking red/green, no activity otherwise Apr 21 13:19:50 EvilDevil, er you not running linuxOS on your box? Apr 21 13:20:07 clars, unslung / openslug can do that too and propably much faster Apr 21 13:20:24 d4rr3ll, so i would say, try it again... what browser do you use? and is a hd attached? Apr 21 13:21:26 caplink811_log, nothing attached to it yet, as I say, it brand new out of the box, will try again through browser (Firefox) and see what happens.... should I just try uploading the file again, or reboot the unit? Apr 21 13:22:39 clars, linux? uhmm.. on my laptop, on my main pc, on my digital satellite receiver, on my routers, on my nslu2s Apr 21 13:23:33 normally, you should use ie, but in your case you must use sercomm (windows) or upslug (linux), because the box is now in upgrade more Apr 21 13:24:14 and yes, you can try to reboot the nslu Apr 21 13:24:16 caplink811_log, I can still browse the linksys interface at the moment, Apr 21 13:24:27 sso does that mean it's in upgrade4 mode? Apr 21 13:24:30 that is curious Apr 21 13:24:39 EvilDevil, can I use ipkg to pick up packets, on unslung / openslug ? Apr 21 13:24:43 I'll reboot and try with IE Apr 21 13:24:54 ready led flashing red/green meaning upgrade mode Apr 21 13:25:21 clars, yes Apr 21 13:25:43 IC.... it's rebooted anyway, so not a brick yet :) Apr 21 13:27:16 EvilDevil, oki nice - but what is best the unslung or openslug ? Apr 21 13:28:00 clars, the answer to this question depends on your needs, and your knowledge and experience with linux Apr 21 13:28:59 Im not an nerd and nor an newbie on linux - been using debian for 3 years now Apr 21 13:29:10 clars, depends... Apr 21 13:29:13 - making apacher, servers ect. Apr 21 13:29:52 clars, if you don't need the web-interface, i'd suggest you openslug Apr 21 13:29:56 is the netcard driver in the unslug or in opslug ? Apr 21 13:30:46 when you want debianslug, then you should use the unoffical image Apr 21 13:31:16 with those, you can use the internal nic Apr 21 13:32:39 netcard? Apr 21 13:38:52 what is the internal nic? Apr 21 13:41:13 ixp0 Apr 21 13:41:18 the one built in Apr 21 13:44:02 bazz- :) Apr 21 13:44:42 morning cap ;) Apr 21 14:07:49 caplink811_log, managed to get the upgrade to work, by unplugging it from the hub and using a x-over cable Apr 21 14:08:30 :) Apr 21 16:17:04 anyone know how i can get cc on my slug? i want to compile cvs Apr 21 16:22:29 IImmortal, unslung ? Apr 21 16:24:08 ow sorry yes i use unslung Apr 21 16:24:24 IImmortal, ipkg install unslung-devel Apr 21 16:25:09 and read this http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/AddAPackageToUnslung as a starting point Apr 21 16:27:10 cap thanx for the info! Apr 21 16:31:19 When I trying upgrade my nslu2 or trying to upgrade/install ds-nslu2.bin I get the output: UPGRADE: No Enough Free Space Apr 21 16:31:57 - and I never before upgrade or install something on this new bow Apr 21 16:41:48 clars, you should use the ie for that operation Apr 21 16:42:08 when you do with the webinterface Apr 21 16:52:29 ie = Internet Explore ??? Apr 21 17:00:23 clars, yes Apr 21 17:00:50 if you're in a win environment Apr 21 17:06:01 but, as you mentioned above, you're using debian, so that faq http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/WebUpgradeErrors may help you Apr 21 17:19:02 great thats going along Apr 21 18:03:19 ok - my box is in upgrade-mode - but how do i connect to is, - I cannot ssh 192.168.1.77 Apr 21 18:05:53 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug may work for you Apr 21 18:27:02 But I cant find any "GNU Make" Apr 21 18:28:10 cc -o upslug upslug.c is ehough Apr 21 18:28:33 s/ehough/enough/ Apr 21 18:28:33 caplink811_log meant: cc -o upslug upslug.c is enough Apr 21 18:34:51 Nothing really happens when I: export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/nslu [ http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlugBuildInstructions ] Apr 21 18:37:57 what should happens, you just export an environment variable, enter the next line and something will happen Apr 21 18:42:00 great - i never try it before to get some data by CVS Apr 21 19:37:00 # upslug -i di-nslu2.bin Apr 21 19:37:01 Using di-nslu2.bin to find slugs... Apr 21 19:37:01 upslug: ioctl: No such device Apr 21 19:38:24 we know, that you're using debian, but on with hw platform? Apr 21 19:39:45 my pc is an amd64 but running i386, on it Apr 21 19:43:31 clars, no errors when you compiled upslug? Apr 21 19:43:46 no Apr 21 19:44:35 but I about to make and new compiling - using upslug2 - this time frome tar.gz Apr 21 19:44:53 so, libpcap and libpcap-dev are at your build system? Apr 21 19:46:54 if that wont work, you could try out upslug2 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug2 Apr 21 19:47:14 grumpf Apr 21 19:49:36 I have libpcap-dev libpcap0.7-dev but no libpcap, and when i "./configere gets the output: configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables Apr 21 19:50:52 maybe, that i'm wrong, but -dev include the headers, but not the lib, maybe that you need to install libpcap Apr 21 19:59:14 but the libcap is not able to get fra the .deb so thats saying me I maybe not need it Apr 21 20:04:06 have you tried apt-get install libpcap0.7 instead? Apr 21 20:04:37 or is on your build system any libpcab in /usr/lib available? Apr 21 20:13:58 i got libpcap0.7 installed and in /usr/lib I got libpcap.so, libpcap.so.0.7 and ibpcap.so.0.7.2 Apr 21 20:14:32 so far, so good Apr 21 20:15:43 when I #upslug - i get the mac of my nslu2 Apr 21 20:23:42 basically, yes Apr 21 23:20:26 anyone around? Apr 22 00:00:28 Is this where I would ask about setting up X on my slug? Apr 22 00:24:35 isn't there a howto? Apr 22 00:40:34 There is, but its kinga vague in some areas. I've installed openssh and then allowed the forwarding of the X Protocol. On my windows box I installed cygwin as the x server. Apr 22 00:41:03 But at the point were the howto says "Log into your slug with "ssh -X"" Apr 22 00:41:08 I get nothing Apr 22 00:46:47 Did you install any X-windows clients on the slug? Apr 22 00:48:18 ipkg install vte xdpyinfo xauth Apr 22 00:48:26 that was the command used in the howto Apr 22 00:50:58 so you have X server running in cygwin? Apr 22 00:52:16 Well... That could be my problem... I have a cygwin window with a flashing cursor. Apr 22 00:53:59 I also installed X-Secure Pro 7.9 Apr 22 00:54:25 At least with that I get what I would think is a xserver when I run it. Apr 22 01:27:35 Hey guys just trying to get started with my new slug. Trying to follow the howtos. I have a 300gig drive in a usb enclosure on which I created a ext3 partition in knoppix. Apr 22 01:28:08 Knoppix recognises disk when I plug in, but the slug doesn't seem to. Apr 22 01:29:02 I have tried with my ipod shuffle FAT formatted device and it sees it OK Apr 22 01:29:41 I have flashed to V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta Apr 22 01:30:51 I was under the impression should be able to see ext3 file systems - is this correct - maybe the fact that the partition I have created is so big? Apr 22 01:31:22 the unslung howto states that you have to format the drive using the web interface on the slug. Apr 22 01:31:24 Any ideas? Apr 22 01:31:49 OK - i tried that and it seemed to crap out... Apr 22 01:32:27 will try again now and see what it says Apr 22 01:32:38 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ is your friend - you'll find the info you seek in the pages on Unslung. I think there's a reference that will start you down the path regarding Unslung.R63DiskBehaviour. Apr 22 01:34:19 And the following page: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/StorageBasics will tell you specifically what your slug doesn't like about your ext3 partition from Knoppix... Apr 22 01:41:12 I got disconnected. Anyone see my question? Apr 22 01:42:32 Thanks alot - formatting now through the web interface - i tried that before but I guess I got impatient Apr 22 01:43:55 Spent some time searching for the info through the web but missed those important bits Apr 22 01:49:30 woot - finished formatting successfully - status now says formatted (ext3) - thanks alot blackhood & mwester Apr 22 01:50:52 LisaJ: No, didn't see any q? Apr 22 01:52:18 I'm a super newbie so sorry for the bother. I've unslung my device. I'm trying to use the built in FTP server function. It seems it only Apr 22 01:52:39 copies files to the built in flash instead of the hard drive Apr 22 01:53:01 can ftp very small files, but larger ones hang Apr 22 02:01:02 i cannot ftp files larger than 100k to my unslung device. seems to copy to built in flash instead of Apr 22 02:01:05 the hard drive Apr 22 02:01:16 using built in ftp Apr 22 02:02:10 If your device is Unslung, then the internal flash is not used by the device after boot - so I don't think that would be the problem. Apr 22 02:03:12 Have you confirmed via the web gui that the device is unslung? Apr 22 02:03:51 ok. in telnet it displays a message that I'm not unslung and using flash...but when I try to run the /sbin unsling command it says it's already been done Apr 22 02:03:58 but is missing and identifier Apr 22 02:48:46 how can i reset my nslu2 to the original linksys firmware? Apr 22 02:49:08 hey Apr 22 02:49:29 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RevertToLinksysFirmware Apr 22 03:01:17 ~botsnack Apr 22 03:01:17 thanks, orda Apr 22 03:01:20 np Apr 22 03:05:56 when i flash with the bin from linksys it says "Bad file name or format" **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 22 09:59:56 2006
