May 25 10:18:32 <njan> HMm.. the nslu2 website mentions the DSM-G600, and one of the familiar websites mentions the DSM-G600 as having official support, but I can't find much information at all on whether or not it's even possible to flash it with any of the SlugOS firmware builds.. I don't suppose anyone could enlighten me?
May 25 10:51:53 <njan> anyone?
May 25 14:59:44 <mwester> njan: There are very few of the dsm-g600's about -- the only one that runs openslug is the hardware rev A box.
May 25 15:00:29 <njan> mwester, only one that runs as in the only one that it's been experimented with on?
May 25 15:01:05 <njan> Opening the RevB firmware from dlink's site in a hexeditor the first thing I see is 'Linux-2.4.21-pre
May 25 15:01:05 <njan> 4' and 'Samba-3XU'
May 25 15:01:43 <mwester> The Rev B hardware is based the PowerPC chip, and the board has AFAIK less RAM and less flash.  Only the Rev A hardware is ARM-based.
May 25 15:01:54 <njan> hmm.
May 25 15:02:13 <njan> So what you're saying is, it would be a significant amount of work to build linux firmware for the RevB..
May 25 15:02:24 <njan> that's a bit sucky.
May 25 15:02:52 <mwester> If you follow the links on the wiki in the dsm-g600 section, one of them takes you to a forum where discussions re: the Rev B have occurred; perhaps they can shed some light on if any groups are working on the Rev B unit.
May 25 15:03:13 <njan> Hmm. I didn't see anything, but i'll have another dig.
May 25 15:03:39 <njan> I think I'll be getting one of the Asus NAS devices, in that case.. 4mb/16mb, but there are working openwrt builds for it..
May 25 15:04:29 <mwester> The big appeal of the unit was that it could run openslug and all the optware packages...  someone could get everything to run on PPC, but that would be a huge effort, and AFAIK the hardware in teh Rev B isn't much better in terms of RAM and Flash than the NSLU2.  So it's not been compelling to go with the Rev B...
May 25 15:05:18 <njan> Right, yeah.
May 25 15:05:33 <njan> I have a wrt, the wireless and the HDD interface were really appealing..
May 25 15:05:42 <njan> that's a pity :(
May 25 15:36:54 <chloubs> hello
May 25 15:46:03 <chloubs> where can i find the zd1211.ko for openslug kernel?
May 25 15:46:21 <chloubs> i can not use ipkg because , my nslu2 is running gentoo now
May 25 16:54:22 <Mika_> chloubs: http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/result.php?query=zd1211.ko&searchtype=file&section=
May 25 17:14:04 <chloubs> Mika_, thanks but it's for 2.6.16 kernel
May 25 17:14:33 <chloubs> i'v the kernel from openslug 2.7 beta
May 25 17:14:46 <chloubs> and cp modules to /lib/modules of my gentoo
May 25 20:00:10 <tuv> i'm running ntpdate and ntp-simple (DebianSlug) and keep getting large clock drifts :(
May 25 20:01:48 <tuv> i know there is currently no rtc kernel module.. but how can i deal with these drifts
May 25 20:40:05 <chloubs> Je suis détaché
May 25 21:22:48 <drif> evening
May 25 21:48:10 <caplink811-log> drif, did you push the "w" when you use fdisk?
May 25 21:51:42 <drif> no
May 25 21:51:49 <drif> I don't think so
May 25 21:53:07 <drif> cap: http://pastebin.com/738140
May 25 21:53:25 <caplink811-log> so you used fdisk /dev/sda, done some (what) things, and leave the fdisk program (at which way)?
May 25 21:55:48 <caplink811-log> hm, line 16.... i understood
May 25 21:57:03 <caplink811-log> but imho, fisk shouldn't change (write) anything before you hit "w" (like write), but that is an imho. maybe that is a good time (if your disks are still available) to do a backup..
May 25 21:58:14 <drif> I didn't do anything with the fdisk
May 25 21:58:27 <drif> I just executed it (under unslung5.5b) and forgot the -l
May 25 21:58:36 <drif> it did all that automaticly
May 25 22:00:06 <caplink811-log> drif, sure ? that is mine http://pastebin.com/738155
May 25 22:00:28 <caplink811-log> which is a little different
May 25 22:01:22 <drif> it certainly is :-\
May 25 22:01:55 <drif> but you saw the copy/paste
May 25 22:03:53 <caplink811-log> yeah, but mine is running on a full mounted disk, yours too?
May 25 22:04:24 <drif> full mounted?
May 25 22:04:44 <drif> yes, it was my system drive which it suddenly re-partitioted :-\
May 25 22:04:54 <drif> t=n
May 25 22:06:19 <caplink811-log> but your system is still functionaly ?
May 25 22:07:52 <drif> I haven't rebooted
May 25 22:07:59 <drif> yes it's still functional
May 25 22:09:56 <caplink811-log> so, maybe, a backup is a good idea, right now
May 25 22:10:01 <drif> doing atm
May 25 22:10:31 <drif> 80GB via FTP :-\ takes some time
May 25 22:10:55 <caplink811-log> but better, as it wont work anymore...
May 25 22:11:26 <drif> but that fdisk behaviour was strange
May 25 22:11:38 <drif> but I bet yours wasn't under unslung...
May 25 22:12:32 <caplink811-log> [root@linus root]$ uname -a
May 25 22:12:32 <caplink811-log> Linux linus 2.4.22-xfs #1 Sat Jun 11 17:13:34 CEST 2005 armv5b unknown unknown GNU/Linux
May 25 22:12:32 <caplink811-log> unslung-5.5 it is
May 25 22:12:39 <drif> hm
May 25 22:13:14 <drif> well, this has certainly been one of those days anything is possible
May 25 22:13:15 <caplink811-log> [root@linus root]$ which fdisk
May 25 22:13:15 <caplink811-log> /sbin/fdisk
May 25 22:13:15 <caplink811-log> it is the linksys binary
May 25 22:13:29 <drif> yes, the dreaded linksys binary
May 25 22:13:34 <drif> is there anything alternative?
May 25 22:14:25 * caplink811-log heading to bed, must go to work at the morning, but i'll push thumbs until i fell into sleep ;)
May 25 22:14:41 <caplink811-log> drif, imho, no
May 25 22:14:52 <drif> why this different action then :-\
May 25 22:15:27 <caplink811-log> that is what i don't understood.. just try it on a opendebianslug..
May 25 22:15:41 <drif> ?
May 25 22:16:32 <caplink811-log> on opendebianslug the behaviour is the same, but the fdisk wont close. and offer me the normal menue options
May 25 22:16:58 <caplink811-log> so i could leave it with "q", without any changes
May 25 22:17:02 <Toman_> I just installed Unslung and some apps on my NSLU2 (yay). Is there a command line irc app I can use on it?
May 25 22:17:14 <caplink811-log> bitchx...
May 25 22:17:15 <drif> Toman_: irssi
May 25 22:17:32 <Toman_> I looked for irssi but I didn't fond it. Never used bitchx
May 25 22:17:35 <Toman_> *find
May 25 22:17:43 <caplink811-log> drif, irssi is specail made by drif afair
May 25 22:17:49 <drif> cap: well that linksys binary didn't leave me with much options...
May 25 22:17:56 <caplink811-log> s/specail/special/
May 25 22:17:57 <capbot> caplink811-log meant: drif, irssi is special made by drif afair
May 25 22:18:19 <drif> actually it's bazz- :P all the credits to him who deserve'em
May 25 22:18:26 <drif> or was it bazz_ anyway
May 25 22:18:31 <caplink811-log> aja, you're right
May 25 22:18:40 <Toman_> Cool, is there anywhere I can get it? :)
May 25 22:18:47 <Toman_> (irssi that is)
May 25 22:19:14 <caplink811-log> just talk to bazz- , and stay some hours in the channel until he read the backlog
May 25 22:19:25 <Toman_> I dont have internet access on mine yet so I download from the repositories and install from my laptop
May 25 22:19:27 <drif> Toman_: wait a sec
May 25 22:19:55 <Toman_> I dont have permanent uptime here so it might be hard to wait :\
May 25 22:20:00 <Toman_> thanks
May 25 22:20:28 <Toman_> (I was thinking the NSLU2 would give me permanent uptime..)
May 25 22:20:55 <drif> as in screen session?
May 25 22:21:06 <Toman_> jup
May 25 22:25:23 <drif> Toman: could you register to nickserv?
May 25 22:25:32 <Toman_> sure
May 25 22:26:38 <Toman_> done
May 25 23:18:20 <NSLU2-IRC> hello
May 25 23:20:08 <NSLU2-IRC> dunno if anyone can help, but I have a bit of an issue with unslung regarding appweb server...
May 25 23:20:17 <NSLU2-IRC> Fatal error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /etc....
May 25 23:21:12 <NSLU2-IRC> I have libxml2 installed..
May 25 23:46:05 <davisc> Anyone have an idea on this one. Slug, running Debian died this morning. I've rebooted. Nothing. Attached the HDD to my laptop, checked and fsck'ed, all clean. Logs show nothing helpful but the Slug just won't come up. Any ideas?
May 26 00:06:35 <tuv> davisc, how could you tell it's not coming up? couldn't it just taking too long doing e.g. fsck on boot?
May 26 00:08:16 <davisc> tuv: Well, normally, it takes about 5 minutes. I left it for an hour and nothing. Also, there is no HDD access
May 26 00:09:08 <tuv> davisc, that sucks
May 26 00:09:28 <tuv> davisc, does it boot with no disk?
May 26 00:09:44 <davisc> tuv: I didn't think it could because the kernel is on the HDD?
May 26 00:09:52 <davisc> tuv: But I'll give it a go
May 26 00:10:20 <tuv> davisc, i don't think it is.. didn't you have to reflash after installing debian?
May 26 00:10:48 <tuv> davisc, btw, did you build debianSlug or use d-i?
May 26 00:11:01 <davisc> tuv: You have to install new firmware, yes. But that was done a few weeks ago and it has been working fine until this morning
May 26 00:11:25 <davisc> tuv: d-i - re-flashed the slug an hour ago incase the image had become corrupted for some reason
May 26 00:11:42 <tuv> davisc, i just installed debian yesterday using d-i :)
May 26 00:12:24 <tuv> davisc, but i think the kernel is in that image.. that's why i couldn't install additional kernel modules
May 26 00:13:13 <davisc> The last thing in the logs was CUPS starting so I removed the links in /etc/rc*.d for CUPS but that didn't help
May 26 00:13:45 <tuv> davisc, i get the feeling that debian is slower than unslung on nslu2.. do you?
May 26 00:14:16 <davisc> tuv: Never tried unslung - but debian does seem quite sluggish
May 26 00:14:23 <tuv> davisc, any changes in the logs after you attempt a boot (with disk)?
May 26 00:14:44 <davisc> tuv: Idea is to test the Slug a bit more and when OI
May 26 00:14:47 * davisc curses
May 26 00:14:57 <davisc> tuv: Idea is to test the Slug a bit more and when I'm happy it's OK, un-declock it
May 26 00:15:23 <davisc> tuv: No, it shows the machine booting, the root FS being mounted but then just stops with no error message
May 26 00:15:32 <davisc> Totally unhelpful over all :-/
May 26 00:15:59 * davisc forgot to check the auth.log
May 26 00:16:15 <tuv> davisc, did you look at /var/log/boot ?
May 26 00:16:32 <davisc> But anyway, thanks for your help. Must head to bed - have to be up in 6 hours!
May 26 00:47:28 <Yasha-> dunno if anyone can help, but I have a bit of an issue with unslung regarding appweb server...
May 26 00:47:34 <Yasha-> Fatal error: Call to undefined function xml_parser_create() in /etc....
May 26 00:47:37 <Yasha-> I have libxml2 installed..
May 26 00:49:13 <Yasha-> so hopefully xml support is enabled on appweb
May 26 09:45:31 <drif_> anyone around?
