**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 06 02:59:57 2006 Jul 06 03:07:33 anyone running a turboslug inside the case? Jul 06 03:24:16 Not sure I understand your question, Kamilion -- inside the original NSLU2 case? Jul 06 03:26:25 yeah. Jul 06 03:28:14 Was reading http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/OverClockTheSlug -- mentioned there's a possibility of some tempature problems when it's still in the case. Jul 06 03:29:00 I know the newer ones are already running at 266Mhz. But I'm stuck here in Reno, the Armpit of Nevada. my PC has two vantec tornados (183.7CFM) and it still overheats during the day. Jul 06 03:30:39 * Kamilion looks up at the topic Jul 06 03:30:53 Oh, yes, Thank you for all your work on unslung 6.8, mwester. :) Jul 06 03:31:09 Does NFS root still work on that version? Jul 06 03:48:53 Sorry; dog needed to go out... (I've got to find the person who set that topic, and have them change it back!) AFAIK the overwhelming majority of the un-underclocked NSLU2s are in their original cases. My read of the data in the wiki was that the temp. increase was so small as a percentage, that if it caused your NSLU2 trouble, it was already in trouble before you snipped the resistor. Jul 06 03:49:41 yeah, that's about what I figured. Jul 06 03:49:55 I'm kinda worried about the temps already, so I'll stick with 133Mhz for now. Jul 06 03:49:56 Re: NFS -- I don't know that anyone ever tested unslinging to an NFS root. It would require that the "slingbox" executable be built with NFS support, and I don't remember if it was or not... Jul 06 03:50:44 Hrm. Jul 06 03:51:04 How hard would it be for me to build either my own executable or image? Jul 06 03:51:15 Easy to tell: flash the firmware; it'll run from just the firmware and if you can't mount an NFS drive from the flash filesystem, then you can't unsling either. The Unsling will have to be manual, and you'll have to hack the boot scripts because there's no support for that built-in (just for the USB ports) Jul 06 03:51:36 How hard? Pretty easy if you ahve a Linux environment Jul 06 03:51:43 s/ahve/have/ Jul 06 03:51:44 mwester meant: How hard? Pretty easy if you have a Linux environment Jul 06 03:51:51 yeah, gentoo 2006.0. Jul 06 03:52:05 on a P2-400 *laughs* Jul 06 03:52:26 Which firmware are you interested in running BTW: unslung or openslug? Jul 06 03:52:40 Doesn't matter to me, honestly. Jul 06 03:53:05 I'm quite skilled in linux, so I could most likely run openslug without the webinterface. Jul 06 03:53:14 but whichever one works, really. Jul 06 03:53:25 Kinda prefer a 2.6 kernel though. Jul 06 03:53:42 OK. Unslung is a 2.4 kernel, and is an abomination to Linux purists -- its an attempt to preserve the Linksys environment and add to it. Openslug is a full 2.6 Linux implementation (does NFS right from the flash). Jul 06 03:54:16 not an abomination. I was running satori on my WRT54G for quite a while, until I tried to flash alchemy 5 on there and nuked the bootloader somehow. Jul 06 03:55:15 need to jtag the little $#%#$ to get it to work again, and that's just too much of a bother for me for the past year. Fortunately, redboot doesn't get messed with in a reflash on the slug, it seems, so I'm pretty safe screwing around. Jul 06 03:55:36 Yeah, I messed with my WRT54G for a while, and decided it wasn't going to work. I didn't blow up the bootloader, but I sure made it hard for me to reflash the unit. So I put it back to the original firmware and stumbled on the NSLU2. Much better hardware to develop and work with. Jul 06 03:55:40 2.4 or 2.6, it doesn't really matter, as long as libusb works. Jul 06 03:55:54 yeah, agreed there. Jul 06 03:56:29 133/266Mhz, 32MB ram, 8MB flash.... Much smaller case... Yeah. Especally when I managed to pick mine up for $50 at walmart today. Jul 06 03:57:44 What I'm trying to do is set it up to operate as a USB fileserver for my playstation portable, mounting root over NFS, and using USBHostFS/libusb to provide a virtual memory card to the PSP much larger than it's internal 1GB card. Jul 06 03:58:24 as well as just having another embedded linux machine to screw around on Jul 06 03:58:25 Yeah, I saw that in the log. Hard to go wrong with that price. I was hacking my WRT54G to add static DHCP, basically. I had a whole list of other "nice to have" items, but that was what drove me to do it. When I encountered the NSLU2, for $90 I could do everything on my "nice" list and add a few! The most flexible $90 bit of hardware I've ever purchased. Jul 06 03:58:37 * Kamilion laughs Jul 06 03:58:51 That was the one thing that pissed me off about the WRT as well, no static DHCP. Jul 06 03:59:59 but I replaced it with my 400Mhz P2/512KB 256MB gentoo box. Uses a lot more power than the slug, but it's also running my asterisk server and a couple other services internally (Like OpenSSH's sftp server. <3 ) Jul 06 04:00:23 What got my goat about it was the number of folks on the various lists who didn't understand WHY one would want static DHCP -- and didn't seem willing to listen to the arguments either. Very useful concept. Jul 06 04:00:33 BTW, asterisk and sftp are running on the NSLU2. Jul 06 04:01:54 I don't run asterisk, but I run sftp, DHCP, bootp, nfs server (set up as an install server for Fedora and Debian releases), NTP, TFTP, web server, and DNS server. And a few others I've forgotten. That's with Unslung; I was worried about the load, but it's not swapping yet.... Jul 06 04:02:17 yeah, I know they are, but the gentoo box stays at home, and the slug's small enough to take with me whereever I go. Jul 06 04:02:34 Buy two. Jul 06 04:02:42 They only had one. ;) Jul 06 04:03:19 and I'm not gonna spend $90 on a second until I can make sure the first one does everything I aim to make it do Jul 06 04:04:03 although I'm sure it would be a wonderful investment, I just don't have that kind of money. But I've got a lot of time on my hands. Jul 06 04:06:04 Well, if you have time, and you're interested in general "hacking" about with the device... by all means, set up a development environment and start customizing things. If you can get the NFS stuff working, we'd love to incorporate a built-in mechanism to unsling to an NFS disk (it would sure make development and test work easier!!) Jul 06 04:06:51 sure thing, I'm setting up the NFS server on my gentoo box right now Jul 06 04:08:16 Check the wiki for info (good and bad info, I'm afraid -- there's a wealth of info, but not all of it is current or applicable) -- flash unslung or openslug, and check it out... Jul 06 04:08:54 yeah, already got unslung 6.8 on there, got it unslung to my PSP's 1GB memory stick LOL Jul 06 04:15:51 Sorry to break in but one quick question - if you snip the resistor to raise the speed does nthat mean some hard drives won't work with the unit anymore? Jul 06 04:16:11 nthat=that Jul 06 04:16:24 No, PCI bus stays the same speed, the only difference it makes is the core speed of the CPU itself. Jul 06 04:16:47 currently, with the resistor in place, it's dividing it's internal core speed by half, all the external interfaces are locked at their respective clocks. Jul 06 04:17:03 Oh, okay. I thought I'd read somewhere there were problems with certain drives but maybe I'm thinking of something else. Jul 06 04:17:20 Thanks. Jul 06 04:17:24 That seems to be problems with bus-powered devices drawing too much current. Jul 06 04:17:57 Ah okay - probably wouldn't affect external hard drives with their own power supplies then. Jul 06 04:18:54 IIRC, they said it worked with a fujitsu 20GB at 0.55A, but not a samsung at 0.7A Jul 06 04:19:13 No problems with Maxtors then. Jul 06 04:19:14 Then again, the USB spec says nothing should be drawing more than .5A from a single host port anyhow. Jul 06 04:19:23 True Jul 06 04:19:28 correct, anything externally powered probably won't cause a problem. ;) Jul 06 04:20:00 Okay, thatnks. Gotta leave for a few but saw you were talking about that so wanted to ask real quivk. Thanks. Jul 06 04:20:04 quick Jul 06 04:20:13 No problem. Jul 06 04:20:20 Glad that a newbie could be of some help ^_^ Jul 06 06:21:19 Well, managed to get the slug to mount my NFS share. Now to see if I can figure out how to unsling to it. Jul 06 06:42:55 LOL, no nfsroot for you, n00b! Jul 06 07:01:27 * Kamilion flashes openslug-3.10... Jul 06 07:10:06 ... Well, that was easy. Jul 06 07:22:18 Hrrrm. Jul 06 07:22:27 root@SLUG:/etc# swapon /.swapfile Jul 06 07:22:27 swapon: /.swapfile: Invalid argument Jul 06 07:22:42 Anyone have any ideas why I can't use a swapfile? Jul 06 07:24:32 Guess I'll have to use my PSP as a temp swapfile. Ah well. Jul 06 07:26:13 ahha Jul 06 07:26:15 Unable to handle swap header version 16777216 Jul 06 07:27:21 swapon: swapfile has holes Jul 06 07:27:26 Well, guess that's out. Jul 06 07:29:01 ... Heh heh. Loop to the rescue! Jul 06 07:30:28 and of course, the module's not found. Jul 06 08:33:00 hi there Jul 06 11:49:59 blist all Jul 06 11:50:02 oeps Jul 06 12:04:53 fellow bitlbee user I see :) Jul 06 12:06:29 yeah Jul 06 12:06:33 of course Jul 06 13:02:05 hoi Jul 06 14:06:11 hi Jul 06 14:06:36 all of a sudden my nslu2 stopped working :s Jul 06 14:06:54 ow Jul 06 14:06:55 why? Jul 06 14:06:57 i can't ping it, can't ssh Jul 06 14:07:31 and most annoying is it doesn'teeven appear in the attacked devices list of my router Jul 06 14:07:41 redboot? Jul 06 14:07:48 debianslug Jul 06 14:08:01 i mean; can you access it via redboot Jul 06 14:08:11 i attached the HD to my linux box and everything sees fine Jul 06 14:08:18 haven't tried that method Jul 06 14:08:26 ok i'll read about it Jul 06 14:19:10 ok Jul 06 14:27:59 damn i have nslu2 in another room Jul 06 14:28:04 i'll have to run :D Jul 06 14:28:35 RUN! Jul 06 14:29:01 haha Jul 06 14:29:20 ok redboot seems to work so the network card of the nslu is not broken Jul 06 14:29:22 pheeeew Jul 06 14:29:47 what should i do after i redboot? Jul 06 14:30:19 i am going to warm up a little.. i need to do another redboot Jul 06 14:30:30 maybe your firmware is broken Jul 06 14:30:36 :O Jul 06 14:30:40 all of a sudden? Jul 06 14:30:42 or at least figure out what your ipadress is Jul 06 14:30:45 and start the telnet daemon Jul 06 14:31:27 ok ok let me try Jul 06 14:38:05 mmm if i set an ip address Jul 06 14:38:16 when i reboot it will be deleted, right? Jul 06 14:38:41 i don't know Jul 06 14:38:51 i used it once when my nslu2 did not respond Jul 06 14:39:07 and what did u do? Jul 06 14:39:16 set an ip address? Jul 06 14:39:25 can't remember :) Jul 06 14:39:31 i figured out it's ip address Jul 06 14:39:34 because it was reset Jul 06 14:39:46 or uploaded new firmware or something like that Jul 06 14:43:54 ok then what i am going to do is re-flash debian-sda1.bin and so everything will be like when i flashed it the first time Jul 06 14:44:55 it should be Jul 06 14:50:28 flashing & crossing fingers Jul 06 14:51:29 wow i'm receiving timeouts while flashing Jul 06 14:52:06 !?!?!?!? Jul 06 14:52:08 omg! Jul 06 14:52:44 weird but it says is already done Jul 06 14:52:45 o.O Jul 06 14:52:57 hm Jul 06 14:53:01 let's reboot Jul 06 14:53:08 brb Jul 06 14:53:34 ok Jul 06 14:56:34 damn Jul 06 14:56:40 the same Jul 06 14:56:43 i can't access Jul 06 14:56:53 can you ping it? Jul 06 14:57:14 nop Jul 06 14:57:22 are you booting it from a harddisk? Jul 06 14:57:30 maybe there 's something wrong there Jul 06 14:57:52 tat is what i thoght at the beginning Jul 06 14:58:00 but i attached the HD to my cmp Jul 06 14:58:00 dit you check the syslog? Jul 06 14:58:06 ah ok you already did Jul 06 14:58:06 and everything looks fine Jul 06 14:58:10 yup Jul 06 14:58:13 not a single warning Jul 06 14:58:23 dmesg and kernel log either Jul 06 14:58:40 i think the network device of the nslu is fukked Jul 06 14:58:54 because when i was flashing i received some timeouts Jul 06 14:59:03 what about tweaking some init-script and add things like 'ifconfig > file' Jul 06 14:59:06 and that didnt happened the first time Jul 06 14:59:11 and then boot and check if this file is there Jul 06 14:59:16 booting can take some minutes Jul 06 14:59:24 yeah i will do that! Jul 06 14:59:29 maybe the flashmemory is broken? Jul 06 14:59:40 wow u think so? Jul 06 14:59:52 could be Jul 06 14:59:55 you never know Jul 06 14:59:56 but at the end the verify process found no errors Jul 06 15:00:02 ah ok Jul 06 15:00:04 well Jul 06 15:00:11 dammit Jul 06 15:00:12 it's still strange it sometimes complains and sometimes not Jul 06 15:00:40 well it is been connected 24/7 for 2 months Jul 06 15:00:52 maybe it has passed away :( Jul 06 15:01:09 i've heard more weird stories Jul 06 15:01:25 i have linksys wlan router that needs reflashing once a week or it corrupts image and crashes on reboot Jul 06 15:01:25 i have a linksys wrt54g which died a couple of months ago Jul 06 15:01:32 haha :) Jul 06 15:01:34 same story? Jul 06 15:01:40 I can't flash mine :( Jul 06 15:01:40 wow Jul 06 15:01:41 lol Jul 06 15:01:54 this nslu2 has been working great Jul 06 15:01:58 don't buy linksys router but asus instead :) Jul 06 15:02:13 in fact i love it more than my brother Jul 06 15:02:15 i can flash it. cfe detects flash is corrupted and waits for tftp. it's wrt54g3g. Jul 06 15:02:41 3g ?? Jul 06 15:03:06 maybe it can't load the system from the HD Jul 06 15:03:07 i've got the first version of the wrt54g Jul 06 15:03:10 yep. model with cardbus/pcmcia slot. i have hsdpa data card on it. 1024kbit/384kbit mobile broadband :) Jul 06 15:03:22 ah ok Jul 06 15:03:30 * snuiter has nslu2, wrt54g (broken) and wl500g deluxe Jul 06 15:04:52 poor nslu2 :( Jul 06 15:05:29 haven't followed your discusson, but did you try reflashing it? Jul 06 15:05:41 yeah that is what i did Jul 06 15:05:53 nothing happened Jul 06 15:06:02 i even got some timeouts while reflashing Jul 06 15:06:11 which didn't happen the first time Jul 06 15:06:42 is your hardware suffering from the high temperatures like here in the netherlands? Jul 06 15:06:51 yeah it is really hot Jul 06 15:06:56 i noticed Jul 06 15:07:09 i'm from spain Jul 06 15:07:18 which i guess is hooter Jul 06 15:07:24 hotter* Jul 06 15:07:37 hm Jul 06 15:07:46 ok i will let it rest Jul 06 15:07:49 it has been about 30 degrees the last week overhere Jul 06 15:07:57 put it in the fridge :) Jul 06 15:08:02 and try again tonight Jul 06 15:08:09 no kidding i think i am gonna do it Jul 06 15:08:12 lol Jul 06 15:09:03 mom: "what is this thing next to the milk?" Jul 06 15:09:18 me: "it is my NSLU2" Jul 06 15:09:55 hehe Jul 06 15:10:04 ok i'm going nuts Jul 06 15:10:21 thx for everything!! i will try tonight!! Jul 06 15:10:24 byeee Jul 06 15:11:36 bye bye Jul 06 15:11:51 NEXT Jul 06 16:25:26 lol Jul 06 16:26:39 <|kami|> can you help me Jul 06 16:26:40 <|kami|> ? Jul 06 16:27:53 Depends Jul 06 16:28:01 I just got my slug yesterday Jul 06 16:29:56 hi kami Jul 06 16:31:54 <|kami|> hi Jul 06 16:36:11 Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help. I've just got a NSLU2, and have had a lot of issues setting up. My main issue is that getting it to work with vista is not happening, it does however work fine with XP. I read somewhere that this is due to vista only handling 'fast' samba queries, and the newest release of samba (3.0.22) handles this fine... so to my question, will the "Installing Samba 3.0.14a-4 on Unslu Jul 06 16:37:47 Your query got cut off at: will the "Installing Samba 3.0.14a-4 on Unslu Jul 06 16:38:24 "Installing Samba 3.0.14a-4 on Unslung 4.2x beta or later" walkthrough on the wiki work in the exact same way to install the latest version? Jul 06 16:38:29 (thanks :) ) Jul 06 16:39:22 I'm not sure, I just got my slug yesterday; I'm not exactly sure if there's a package for the latest samba. If worse comes to worse, you may have to compile it yourself. Jul 06 16:39:59 I screwed around with unslung last night, ended up using openslug and installing root over NFS. Jul 06 16:41:14 mine turned up yesterday too! I've had so many issues, it wont recognise one drive at all, in either port, and wouldn't see the ntfs partition on another... though that was solved by updating with the beta firmware out from linksys, the V2.3R72 Jul 06 16:41:20 now I cant see anything in vista :( Jul 06 16:41:32 ... Beta firmware? Jul 06 16:41:59 Hm, musta missed that. Jul 06 16:42:27 yea, I actually found it on a linksys forum... but the link for the download comes straight from the linksys.com site itself Jul 06 16:42:30 I'll find the link Jul 06 16:42:34 Well, rememer that the linux kernel supports a heck of a lot of devices; but not everything. I've got a old buslink USB enclosure that I was hoping to use. Jul 06 16:43:08 Unfortunately, PL2307-B chips were only supported in a hack to kernel 2.4 that's been forgotten and declined for inclusion to 2.6. Jul 06 16:43:38 But I didn't expect all that much from a USB 1.1 enclosure I rescued from a skip. Jul 06 16:43:43 lol Jul 06 16:44:22 It seems I was mistaken, it doesnt come of the linksys.com site, its hosted elsewhere, but its up and running on mine, and as I said, solved one issue. http://www.linksysinfo.co.uk/files/NSLU2_V23R72.zip Jul 06 16:44:31 Ah, linksysinfo. Jul 06 16:45:16 now just to get vista to see the damn thing :( Jul 06 16:46:27 Hm. Guess I should try vista at one point. I do end up having to support windows, so I'm gonna have to break it if I'm gonna fix it. Jul 06 16:46:38 For just these kinds of reasons. Jul 06 16:47:16 lol I really like vista, apart from this, I've had no issues. I wouldn't go back Jul 06 16:47:54 whatever you do don't do an upgrade, I tried that... it was a mess, nothing worked, you have to do a clean install Jul 06 16:48:31 Been building and installing for years, and somehow I doubt vista will take too kindly to my filesystem filters installed by SVS Jul 06 16:49:49 went over my head ;) Jul 06 16:50:03 but maybe wait for the next release :) Jul 06 16:58:54 erm, just tried in install unslung via the web interface.. I'm getting a "not enough free space" error.. Jul 06 17:36:23 <|kami|> anyone here how can pls help me? Jul 06 17:39:01 |kami|: but nobody here knows if they can help you unless you ask your question first. Jul 06 17:39:12 :-) Jul 06 17:39:33 <|kami|> i asked it before but no one answered Jul 06 17:41:22 Well, what is the question? Jul 06 17:41:23 Maybe the people online when you asked earlier couldn't answer; might be worth asking again if it was a while ago. Jul 06 17:42:26 yeah, doesn't show up in my log. Jul 06 17:42:51 <|kami|> okay the question is : I am using Openslug and i change nothing in my system but today my system crashed and i cant boot from the hdd anymore but i can start the NSLU2 without hdd and mount the hdd without any problems? Jul 06 17:44:40 Hm. Sorry, out of my league as current. As a linux user, I'd probably say, run a fsck on the disk, then possibly use turnup *without* -i to attempt to remount on the next reboot. Jul 06 17:48:30 Yep, first thing to do is run an "fsck" on all the partitions on the disk (unmount it first). Jul 06 17:49:47 |kami|, did you search for the .recovery file in the root partition of your disc? Jul 06 17:51:26 <|kami|> i done a fsck without any errors Jul 06 17:52:07 <|kami|> can find such a file Jul 06 17:52:36 did you read the faq? Jul 06 17:52:46 ~nslu2-faq Jul 06 17:52:47 ok, so you should have a look to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/HomePage Jul 06 17:53:46 if you found .recovery, then you should delete it.. Jul 06 17:58:10 <|kami|> okay now i deleted it but now the ready led is only blinking Jul 06 18:00:14 after you boot with the attached hd? Jul 06 18:00:26 what's about network access? Jul 06 18:01:19 <|kami|> yes it only boots without the HDD i now trying to rerun fsck Jul 06 18:15:51 BogoMIPS : 266.24 Jul 06 18:15:56 Sweet. That was easy. Jul 06 18:20:22 Think that was the second easiest un-underclock I've ever done. Jul 06 18:37:42 <|kami|> how was the command to remove file from the boot init? Jul 06 18:38:31 this is the faq entry http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DiskNotMountedAtBoot Jul 06 18:39:04 <|kami|> noo it works now i mean to remove script from the boot init Jul 06 18:39:08 <|kami|> like nfsserver.. Jul 06 18:40:16 delete the symlinks in /etc/rc* Jul 06 18:40:30 <|kami|> there was a script for this Jul 06 19:54:04 Hi There, does somebody know how to measure IO writes to the USB port. I want to estimate the life-time of a flash USB stick on my NLSU2. Jul 06 20:17:24 hellooo Jul 06 20:18:06 mwester: u there? Jul 06 20:25:32 i don't remember who was helping me this afternoon Jul 06 20:25:48 was it snuiter?

Jul 06 20:32:51 No idea. Hopefully someone else will answer Jul 06 20:33:46 apropos hotplug ----- nothing appropiate Jul 06 20:33:50 :O Jul 06 20:33:55 all of a sudden Jul 06 20:34:24 oki oki thx Jul 06 20:34:36 I'm not familiar enough with the system's setup to know what's going on between when I hit the power button and when I SSH in. Jul 06 20:34:52 ok ok thx a lot anyway :D Jul 06 20:35:02 Just got it yesterday, afterall ^_^ Jul 06 20:35:07 yay Jul 06 20:35:21 i have it for 2 months and i am very happy Jul 06 20:35:33 today i had the very first problem Jul 06 20:35:43 but i have already solved it Jul 06 20:35:49 I've had it for a day, and I'm very happy. I'm compiling the build environment right now. Jul 06 20:36:15 wow i just installed debianslug and only install precompiled packages Jul 06 20:36:33 dun even know how to do that :P Jul 06 20:37:13 the packages I want arn't precompiled, and I've been a linux abuser since slackware 1.5 in 1995, so I figure I know enough of what I'm doing on my gentoo box to compile what I need. Jul 06 20:37:15 so what will you have to do, download the code and compile? Jul 06 20:37:32 yay Jul 06 20:37:34 Actually, I grabbed the master makefile, ran 3 commands, and it's building itself. Jul 06 20:37:44 cool Jul 06 20:37:53 so u installed gentooslug? Jul 06 20:37:58 No, openslug. Jul 06 20:38:05 Gentoo's on my secondary server PC Jul 06 20:38:17 ok Jul 06 20:38:20 Pentium2 400Mhz with a quarter gig of ram Jul 06 20:38:27 the slug's booting off NFS from it Jul 06 20:38:30 lol Jul 06 20:38:37 yeah me too i use debian Jul 06 20:38:47 had some problems with samba and the nslu Jul 06 20:38:54 but nfs runs way better than samba Jul 06 20:38:58 Trying to get libusb and usbhostfs to run on the slug Jul 06 20:39:15 so I can use the slug as a nice little virtual memory card and debugger interface for my playstation portable. Jul 06 20:39:15 what do u intend to do? Jul 06 20:39:26 wow Jul 06 20:39:41 eh, the usbhostfs is only a 60KB .c file Jul 06 20:39:46 so it will be like a HD for ur PSP? Jul 06 20:39:53 yeah, sort of. Jul 06 20:39:59 niice man Jul 06 20:40:24 yeah, also end up becoming quite a nice little interface for the PSP to act as a head end for the slug Jul 06 20:40:52 really? Jul 06 20:40:58 like a terminal?? Jul 06 20:41:03 Exactly. Jul 06 20:41:11 that is very interesting Jul 06 20:41:15 There's been a VNC client for the PSP for a year or so now Jul 06 20:41:26 And links2 was recently ported Jul 06 20:41:27 http://pspupdates.qj.net/uploads/articles_module/57945/links21-pre22.jpg Jul 06 20:41:31 u have X installed in the nslu? Jul 06 20:41:34 No. Jul 06 20:42:34 very ver nice Jul 06 20:42:54 i only use it as a p2p downloader Jul 06 20:43:02 and i am very happy Jul 06 20:43:07 i needed something like this Jul 06 20:43:17 That's cool. I got mine for $50. Jul 06 20:43:30 Clipped the resistor, and been grinning all day since Jul 06 20:43:48 44 $ + 20$ on ebay Jul 06 20:44:01 nice. Jul 06 20:44:19 but i had to buy and adapter for euorpean voltage Jul 06 20:44:29 an* Jul 06 20:45:04 i am going to buy another for my bro Jul 06 20:46:13 well i g2g. maybe i enter another day and u can explain how is working yours!! Jul 06 20:46:16 byeee Jul 06 20:46:16 Yeah, a 266Mhz microPC that works on an amp at 5V is pretty darn good IMHO. Jul 06 20:46:22 Sure thing. Have a nice night. Jul 06 20:46:23 hell yes Jul 06 20:46:51 compared to the 400W power supply of the big one it is a very good save :P Jul 06 20:47:02 yep. Jul 06 20:47:08 And a lot more portable ;) Jul 06 20:47:24 or at least it will be once I can find a nice USB powered enclosure Jul 06 20:47:49 wow u are going to do enclose it in one piece?? Jul 06 20:48:16 naaah Jul 06 20:48:17 hmm, what is the rumour I hear about the nslu2 being 266mhz by "default" now Jul 06 20:48:34 Just don't wanna carry an extra power adapter with me when I take the NSLU with me Jul 06 20:48:39 yeah i have heard that in some spanish forums Toman- Jul 06 20:48:59 Don't know, mine has a pretty old datecode, I got it off the discount shelf at walmart Jul 06 20:49:04 last one they had in the store. Jul 06 20:49:10 Mine has been running at that speed for two weeks now without a hitch so :) Jul 06 20:49:11 nice Kamilion Jul 06 20:49:45 yeah, I clipped my resistor a couple hours ago, and mine still isn't warm enough to heat up my hands. Jul 06 20:49:45 why at 133 if they can work that well at 266? Jul 06 20:50:00 To keep people from playing with it too much ;) Jul 06 20:50:17 But ya can't keep us hackers out of anything with linux on it *laughs* Jul 06 20:50:26 I have seens ome reports that it wont boot if you have a 2.5 inch usb-powered harddrive. But I have that and it works. Jul 06 20:50:30 *some Jul 06 20:50:38 when i decided to overclock mine i saw a comparation between an overclocked nslu and a normal one Jul 06 20:50:43 Toman-: Only if it tries to draw more power than the USB spec. Jul 06 20:50:50 Kamilion: ok Jul 06 20:50:55 USB spec states that nothing over 500ma should work Jul 06 20:51:05 the drive that was stated not to be working was attempting to use 700ma Jul 06 20:51:08 and after 1 day there eas only 1 or 2 �C of difference Jul 06 20:51:13 Kamilion: maybe a lot of drives do that though Jul 06 20:52:04 probably. Easier to get a USB-powered enclosure that *can* accept DC in, and do some checking on the drive to place inside it, to find a low rated one. Jul 06 20:52:34 mine says it needs 100mA Jul 06 20:53:17 how much cappacitty can those 2.5 drives have? Jul 06 20:53:31 mine is 80GB. You get 120GB now I think Jul 06 20:53:32 80 GB? Jul 06 20:53:39 nice Jul 06 20:54:06 hmm.. you can have more than one swap right? Jul 06 20:54:08 Largest I've seen is a 160GB 2.5" drive, but they're very expensive. Jul 06 20:54:10 yes Jul 06 20:54:12 i have a 200 GB attached to the NSLU and i barely use 30 Jul 06 20:54:21 :s Jul 06 20:54:26 hehe Jul 06 20:54:37 bigger the drive is, though, the more power it's likely to be using Jul 06 20:54:47 I use about half of mine, and then I have a 250GB too, which I only use for backup. Jul 06 20:54:51 so personally, I'd be searching for a nice little 40GB or 60GB Jul 06 20:55:05 that sounds like true :s Jul 06 20:55:19 but i had it already Jul 06 20:55:23 if I want a huge chunk of space, I'll pick up a Maxtor 250GB for $68 ;) Jul 06 20:55:40 I think I'll set up a swap on the 80GB drive. I have 100MB swap on the USB-stick, but I think that might come in a little short some times Jul 06 20:55:42 lol ur american.. i can tell Jul 06 20:55:57 Nope, not american, Californian. Big difference ;) Jul 06 20:56:09 Toman i set up 128 MB the first time Jul 06 20:56:14 * Kamilion laughs Jul 06 20:56:18 Kamilion: :D I hear they say that Jul 06 20:56:36 then after 2 days of running amule it killed the process itself because it was useing too many resources Jul 06 20:56:44 Well, with american's current dictator, I tend not to want to be associated with that. Jul 06 20:56:44 the european alibi or something Jul 06 20:57:07 so i had to add 256 MB of swap space Jul 06 20:57:14 everything is working fine since then Jul 06 20:57:39 didn't know that about californian :D Jul 06 20:57:51 Say0nar4: oh good. Maybe I'll just get a bigger usb-pen. Jul 06 20:58:31 swap on flash is a bad idea, if you're using any swap, it'll kill the flash blocks at the beginning of the stick and eventually make it unusuable. Jul 06 20:58:42 Toman-: i don't think u need it but amule is a memory hunger program Jul 06 20:58:50 And don't forget, you can always use swapfiles on the drive itself Jul 06 20:58:58 mkswap -c /.swapfile Jul 06 20:58:59
