**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun May 28 02:59:56 2006 May 28 10:03:08 hm, the nslu2 says my drive is not formated, even though i just formated it. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DriveNotFormatted doesn't seem to apply, as there is only a single usb flash drive attached... May 28 10:04:38 should i unsling anyways? May 28 10:10:55 hm... May 28 10:12:54 i guess i'll have to come back when people are awake May 28 12:50:48 hm, any pointers on how to upgrade to unstable? May 28 12:53:11 just s/stable/unstable/ in /etc/ipkg/*? May 28 12:57:09 not that i'd want to use unstable packages, but it looks like the driver for zd1211 wireless usb dongles is only in unstable May 28 13:24:27 nkuttler, you would need a newer kernel for the "unstable" zd1211 kernel module May 28 14:50:56 nick gweissenseel May 28 14:53:40 hi May 28 14:54:54 i want to compile the mysql-dev for unslung what source should I use can I just download it from mysql.com? May 28 15:04:09 Is this channel always so quiet? May 28 15:19:47 join #nslu2-general May 28 17:04:00 EvilDevil: i'm fine with installing a new kernel May 28 17:05:04 nkuttler, see http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Development/MasterMakefile May 28 17:05:30 (i assume you're talking about openslug) May 28 17:07:27 EvilDevil: so you recomment to build kernel+driver myself instead of going to unstable (unslung)? May 28 17:09:14 are there even binary packages for unstable? May 28 17:13:11 nkuttler, oh, you're talking about unslung. i thought you were talking about openslug May 28 17:13:37 i don't know how to deal with this and unslung, sorry May 28 17:14:50 well, i just got the box today. i guess i'll have to do some reading. thanks! May 28 17:16:22 okay, np May 28 17:19:16 * csant- got the box yesterday, and is a happy new user May 28 17:19:33 http://csant.dyndns.org/hw/slug/slug.htm May 28 18:56:36 If I want to return my NSLU for a replacement.. does linksys/retailers care if Unslung is installed? May 28 19:05:48 Some strange things on my NSLU2... If I do remove the power cord from the NLU.. waits a couple of seconds and the put it back again... The NLU2 does not start when pressing the power button. ( the power button lights up for tens of a second and then it go back to sleep )... If I do wait about 10 sec it starts. I also have some high frequenzy noise in the NSLU that depends on the work load.. I guess that the power module is bad on May 28 19:05:48 my device.. So typically since I received that device 3 days ago. May 28 19:06:50 So the big question... shall I install the original firmware before sending it back. May 28 19:14:37 baronen, short: yes May 28 19:17:19 is the power button problem ( described above ) normal? May 28 19:22:54 i had the same thing happening today May 28 19:24:02 btw, i just flashed my nslu2 with openslug 2.7. isn't it supposed to open some ports? everything is closed :-/ May 28 19:28:36 oh, it was in upgrade mode after rebooting. odd. May 28 19:40:50 same thing as me?!.. or something that I have missed in the chat? May 28 19:43:27 i've heard of some issues where the powerbutton is mechanically locked/unabled to push the button on the pcb May 28 19:48:17 try to shake the nslu so the powerbutton makes a nice click when you push it May 28 19:48:37 i had a hanging power button to, until i opened it to "overclock" it May 28 19:48:38 ok.. but this does not looks like a mechanical problem... the power button flashes green.. so something happens.. but it seams that it does not get enough power to boot. Once booted, there are no problem with power it on / off. Only the first time the power cord has been attached there is a problem to start it. May 28 19:48:47 and fixed the power button as well, which hung sometimtes May 28 19:49:37 another question is it possible now to install debianslug without an usb ethernet adapter? May 28 19:51:01 baronen: same as you May 28 19:53:00 bazz-, yes, see http://www.student-zw.fh-kl.de/~pasc0010/debianslug and http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/BuildDebianSlug May 28 19:53:11 thanks EvilDevil :) May 28 19:53:45 bazz-, or try http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/ May 28 19:54:15 i'm planning to switch to debian with a new harddisk for my slug May 28 19:54:22 would that be a good idea? May 28 19:54:34 (currently using unslung 5.5) May 28 19:55:27 bazz-, depends on how familiar you are with linux (especially debian) and the command line interface (there's no web-interface on debianslug) May 28 19:55:49 i'm able to find my way through linux :) May 28 19:56:02 i occasionally use the web interface May 28 19:56:06 nkuttler, how old are your NSLU2? I think I got mine when I turned off/on my HDD.. Perhaps the power part on the NSLU did not like that May 28 19:56:51 baronen: i received it yesterday, not sure when it was manufactured. i don't remember how it happened, but i just unplugged the power cable for some time to fix the issue May 28 19:57:11 i'll upgrade to debianslug then, it seems to have more "balls" than unslung :p May 28 19:57:49 bazz-, and some more (15000+) packages May 28 19:58:26 nice :) May 28 19:58:32 rtorrent will hopefully work May 28 19:59:03 builds on sarge x86 at least May 28 19:59:36 btw, is this safe method? http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RemotelyEnterUpgradeMode May 28 19:59:55 it's available in the debian arm feed: rtorrent - ncurses BitTorrent client based on LibTorrent May 28 20:00:28 yeah it's also available in the unslung pkg list :) May 28 20:00:33 but it doesn't work properly May 28 20:00:54 drif, i tried that, but it didn't worked for me. but your results may vary May 28 20:01:09 how did you enter the upgrade mode May 28 20:01:26 pushing the reset button during power up May 28 20:02:08 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheResetButtonToEnterUpgradeMode May 28 20:03:11 is there anything similar in unslung: ifconfig eth0:1 inet 192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 May 28 20:03:14 ? May 28 20:03:57 you want multiple ip addresses? May 28 20:04:02 yes May 28 20:04:11 just try ip addr add x.X.x.x dev ixp0 May 28 20:09:52 or better: ifconfig, iproute is not installed i think May 28 20:10:20 * nkuttler scratches his head May 28 20:22:42 * nkuttler throws d-i at his nslu2 May 28 20:39:35 EvilDevil: there? May 28 20:39:54 drif, yup May 28 20:40:27 evildevil: it flashes red/green but upslug2 tells me: not-NSLU2 00:13:10:d9:02:7c Product ID: 1 Protocol ID: 0 Firmware Version: R23V29 [0x2329] May 28 20:40:30 [no NSLU2 machines found in upgrade mode] May 28 20:42:00 drif, hmm.. no clue. maybe just unplug the power supply and trying again would help May 28 20:42:52 so you don't need to telnet into it when it flashes? May 28 20:43:12 nope :) May 28 20:43:20 had to be sure May 28 20:44:01 what's that not-NSLU2? But firmware is R23V29... May 28 20:48:52 first time i see that May 28 20:53:44 evildevil: well nevertheless the flashing seemed ok May 28 20:54:24 that's always good :) May 28 20:55:56 hm, does this happen to anyone else? sometimes when I unplug or plugin usb-device the whole slug stalls May 28 20:57:07 pretty often actually May 28 20:58:11 drif, that happened to me too, from time to time. but i couldn't reproduce it (it was working again after a reboot) May 28 20:58:53 evildevil: you didn't have to unplug the power cord? May 28 20:59:18 it doesn't respond to anything May 28 20:59:31 after that works ok May 28 20:59:39 drif, i had to unplug the power May 28 21:00:09 but that's pretty annoying - because it doesn't concern just hard drives - also cameras etc. May 28 21:00:24 so mine isn't faulty? May 28 21:02:27 only as faulty as mine ;) May 28 21:02:31 :P May 28 22:56:56 should the openslug firmware use the same network settings as unslung? May 28 22:57:12 without additional configuration? May 28 23:32:34 * nkuttler get annoyed May 29 02:48:05 I have a strange problem with my unslung nslu2 using unslung 6.8. I can't make modifications to the last share that was created in the web interface. It is always with the last share. I can't delete it, change priveleges or anything. May 29 02:48:53 I have to create another share, making that the last share, so that I can do anything with the previous share. May 29 02:49:09 Is this a known problem? I didn't find anything on it. May 29 02:50:35 When I select the share in the web interface the name is shown as 'givenname (' instead of 'givenname' May 29 02:50:51 with a space and a abrcket at the end of the name. May 29 02:51:06 bracket May 29 02:57:08 Nope, not a known problem. Sounds like a share was created at some point with an illegal name, or the system crashed at a most innoportune time, and it messed up the saved list of shares. Have you tried deleting *all* the shares, and adding them again? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon May 29 02:59:56 2006
