Jun 23 17:26:52 <l0c4lh0st> Hmm, Samba is kinda slow, anyone have experienced this too?
Jun 23 17:26:52 <l0c4lh0st> It needs like 5 minutes to display a folder :/
Jun 23 17:27:26 <Reedy_Boy> Nope, installing samba and xinetd has screwed up my slug...
Jun 23 17:27:57 <l0c4lh0st> heh
Jun 23 17:28:02 <l0c4lh0st> What do you need help with?
Jun 23 17:28:45 <Reedy_Boy> well, i got samba installed
Jun 23 17:29:07 <Reedy_Boy> and caplink suggested putting xinetd (or whatever it is) rather than the deafult unslung one
Jun 23 17:29:31 <Reedy_Boy> upon restart, no Telnet, and no samba (samba to be expected as we didnt do the config)
Jun 23 17:29:55 <Reedy_Boy> i can get telnet and samba if i boot without the unslung disk
Jun 23 17:30:03 <Reedy_Boy> i tried to reformat it to rid of the unslining
Jun 23 17:30:21 <Reedy_Boy> it wouldnt
Jun 23 17:30:31 <Reedy_Boy> formatted in windows, and that was fine, slug still wouldn't format
Jun 23 17:30:42 <Reedy_Boy> and i cant get it to show up on UgUtil to reinstall the OS
Jun 23 17:31:40 <Reedy_Boy> i cant get a linux distro installed on my 2nd machine/server, and knoppix wont run
Jun 23 17:31:46 <Reedy_Boy> knoppix wont run on my desktop either
Jun 23 17:36:17 <Reedy_Boy> ooh
Jun 23 17:36:22 <Reedy_Boy> its formatting the disk now!
Jun 23 17:38:36 <Reedy_Boy> and now its stopped..
Jun 23 17:38:55 <Reedy_Boy> and its done!
Jun 23 17:39:03 <Reedy_Boy> thank god

Jun 23 17:39:36 <Reedy_Boy> let him know its formatted for me!
Jun 23 18:14:46 <deadcat> goddamn. i dont know if its the slow ass 600mb hdd or the nslu2, libapache-gallery-perl is in pain trying to gen the thumbnails (=

Jun 23 21:20:58 <enterusername> well u could try telnetting into redboot and type upgrade..
Jun 23 21:20:58 <Reedy_Boy> cause i haven' been able to ping it when its supposed to be in teh mode
Jun 23 21:21:05 <Reedy_Boy> on 192.168.0.1

Jun 23 21:24:31 <Reedy_Boy> EvilDevil - is there any way to see if it is it in upgrade mode/or not?
Jun 23 21:25:10 <EvilDevil> Reedy_Boy, the ready/status led should be flash orange/red (IIRC)
