**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jul 01 02:59:56 2006 Jul 01 04:05:37 I just bought the NSLU2, Unslunged it, played around and now I want to start all over..basically how it was when i bought it Jul 01 04:06:48 the sircomm utility doesnt use my NIC, but instead uses the 1394 connection and so it cant find the NSLU2 and I cant flash it Jul 01 04:07:56 I have also put the NSLU2 into upgrade mode with the flashing red/green led so it is basically useless to me right now Jul 01 04:08:06 any help would be appreciated Jul 01 04:25:08 NAvAP: did you use the -d option with upslug2? Jul 01 04:25:32 i cant use upslug because im on a windows computer and it doesnt compile under cygwin Jul 01 04:25:38 or i cant get it to anyway Jul 01 04:25:42 sorry. no windows here. Jul 01 04:26:00 try a live cd. and download the upslug2 software and run it there. Jul 01 04:26:19 ok Jul 01 04:26:51 would knoppix have the compilers already installed or would i have to get them before i can compile upslug2? Jul 01 04:27:19 i think you can just download the .deb and extract that and run the binary that way Jul 01 04:27:26 oh ok Jul 01 04:27:28 thanks Jul 01 04:27:29 you dont really have to compile anything Jul 01 04:28:17 ya. the upslug2 package only has a binary. and i am pretty sure all the libraries it required will be already avaiable in knoppix Jul 01 05:23:24 i read somewhere on nslu2-linux.org that I should install the main drive to port 2, why is that? Jul 01 05:23:56 when reading the package install pages they assume its installed on port 1 Jul 01 06:00:43 on version 6.x you are recommended to use port 2 Jul 01 06:01:22 was port 1 recomended in the previous versions? Jul 01 06:02:32 yes Jul 01 06:02:57 I think on 6.x port 1 was made to better handle other devices Jul 01 06:03:09 like usb hubs and such Jul 01 06:03:15 printers and stuff Jul 01 06:03:52 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/WhichUSBPortforUnslung6 Jul 01 06:03:56 read that Jul 01 06:04:54 what are the advatages of upgrading samba from the version that comes with unslung 6.8? Jul 01 06:05:44 so basically port 1 is now the port for flash drives and port 2 is for regular drives? Jul 01 06:05:55 linksys switched them around Jul 01 06:05:56 correct Jul 01 06:06:10 I like the newer samba so I can use swat Jul 01 06:06:48 does it change anything for a windows user accessing the shares? Jul 01 06:06:54 nope Jul 01 06:07:37 I upgraded my samba for the sole purpose of being able to use swat Jul 01 06:07:53 swat is just the samba config files but in an online eviroment and so they're easier to edit? Jul 01 06:08:00 correct Jul 01 06:08:09 I use swat to manage all my shares and stuff Jul 01 06:08:18 I do not like linksys's web control at all Jul 01 06:08:36 and I'm just too lazy to use commands in ssh :) Jul 01 06:09:46 Does 6.8 support hotplugging externals? Jul 01 06:10:10 I think so, but not sure Jul 01 06:10:18 I'm still using 5.something Jul 01 06:10:29 5.5 Jul 01 06:12:11 When accessing the shares from windows it asks for a user/pass, only admin works, and if any shares arent globally readable it gives you errors, can I login as the user who controls those shares so that I can access them? Jul 01 06:14:34 try root Jul 01 06:14:46 doesnt work Jul 01 06:15:07 then create a share at root level Jul 01 06:15:18 and give access to user root (or admin) Jul 01 06:15:31 then that user will have access to everything Jul 01 06:15:51 I've done that, my N: drive has access to / Jul 01 06:16:51 isnt the admin 2 share / ? Jul 01 06:17:11 there is no share to / unless you create it Jul 01 06:17:21 because by suppling the admin password you can get into the admin 2 and disk 2 which are / and /public Jul 01 06:21:41 do you have unslung installed yet? Jul 01 06:21:45 ya Jul 01 06:22:23 i had it installed earlier and then wanted to start over again so ive played around with it a bit already Jul 01 06:30:36 the thing that really confused me last time was the real location of files and what fiels are overwritten at boot Jul 01 10:24:15 mika_ :) Jul 01 18:31:14 hello ^^ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jul 02 02:59:57 2006
