Aug 16 15:37:12 <andreTTi> hello
Aug 16 15:38:31 <andreTTi> anyone know where I can get the "unofficial debian image" which contains IXP4xx ethernet driver?
Aug 16 15:42:37 <andreTTi> found it
Aug 16 19:30:03 <cchamb2> Anyone home?  I have what could be a simple question about the NSLU2 to ask
Aug 16 19:43:18 <Charles__> Anyone home?
Aug 16 19:45:20 <Guest0758>  /join #nslu2-general
Aug 16 19:45:46 <caplink811-log> ~ask
Aug 16 19:45:47 <capbot> If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes.
Aug 16 20:11:13 <andreTTi> Iīm having problems installing debian-etch-beta2 (unofficial image) on my nslu2. I have flashed the di-nslu2.bin but I canīt connect via ssh after reboot. I can ping it but when I try ssh I get errormsg: "port 22: Connection refused" 
Aug 16 20:11:39 <tuv> andreTTi, did you wait long enough?
Aug 16 20:11:55 <andreTTi> yes 20 min at least
Aug 16 20:12:11 <tuv> andreTTi, did you try again?
Aug 16 20:12:19 <andreTTi> should the hdd be connected to port1 or 2?
Aug 16 20:12:26 <andreTTi> yes several times
Aug 16 20:12:51 <andreTTi> and I have tried to reflash the di-nslu2.bin
Aug 16 20:12:54 <andreTTi> no luck
Aug 16 20:13:13 <tuv> andreTTi, well in that case i'd reflash the d-i. the first time i flashed it, it hanged in the disk format phase and i had to re-flash it. the second time it worked fine
Aug 16 20:13:38 <tuv> hmm.. looks like you're a faster typer than i am :)
Aug 16 20:13:42 <andreTTi> hehe
Aug 16 20:13:44 <andreTTi> =)
Aug 16 20:14:00 <andreTTi> well I can always try again..
Aug 16 20:14:00 <tuv> port 1
Aug 16 20:14:05 <andreTTi> ok
Aug 16 20:14:16 <andreTTi> even if I use a usb stick?
Aug 16 20:14:50 <tuv> andreTTi, i don't think the ports make any difference on firmwares other than linksys and unslung
Aug 16 20:15:00 <andreTTi> ok
Aug 16 20:15:29 <andreTTi> maybe itīs my usb drive thats not working properly
Aug 16 20:15:55 <tuv> andreTTi, should you have the disk connected when running d-i? i can't remember
Aug 16 20:16:11 <andreTTi> yes I think so
Aug 16 20:16:36 <andreTTi> according to this howto http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/ 
Aug 16 20:17:18 <tuv> well try to boot d-i without a disk and connect it after you connect to ssh
Aug 16 20:17:46 <tuv> at least you can tell whether the disk has an effect on d-i boot
Aug 16 20:18:16 <andreTTi> should I be able to ssh the device without a drive attached?
Aug 16 20:18:50 <tuv> andreTTi, d-i works from memory. it formats the disk in the process so it cannot be using it
Aug 16 20:19:06 <tuv> actually it works from memory and flash
Aug 16 20:19:42 <andreTTi> ok
Aug 16 20:25:22 <andreTTi> are there different hardware versions of nslu2?
Aug 16 20:26:15 <tuv> i'm not aware of any versions. you can overclock the cpu though
Aug 16 20:26:28 <tuv> actually more like de-underclock it
Aug 16 20:26:46 <drif> and I've heard the newer models are already running at full speed
Aug 16 20:27:04 <drif> some of'em atleast
Aug 16 21:33:07 <Nymus> some cups expert inhere?
Aug 16 21:33:33 <Nymus> cant get the thing to work
Aug 16 22:05:10 <kencausey> Is there anyway to setup an NSLU2 as a NAT router?  (given only one network port that seems unrealistic I must admit)  Alternatively does anyone know of another device which I could run Linux (preferably Debian) on that is low power, I could use as a NAT router, and perhaps has file/HTTP/etc server?

Aug 16 23:35:20 <Cheef-Daniel> hi
Aug 16 23:38:06 <Cheef-Daniel> is this line (dmesg): 'EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended' a normal behavor?
Aug 16 23:40:02 <tuv> Cheef-Daniel, which firmware are you running?
Aug 16 23:40:16 <Cheef-Daniel> debian
Aug 16 23:41:23 <tuv> then you probably want to set FSCKFIX=yes in your /etc/default/rcS to perform that e2fsck on boot. watch out for a lengthy boot after that
Aug 16 23:41:57 <Cheef-Daniel> does e2fsck modify my data?
Aug 16 23:42:33 <tuv> no.. it's a disk scanner to correct filesystem errors if any. like window's scandisk
Aug 16 23:43:21 <Cheef-Daniel> I hope it does not damage anything
Aug 16 23:43:30 <tuv> it doesn't
Aug 16 23:43:58 <tuv> it keeps your filesystem healthy
Aug 16 23:44:36 <Cheef-Daniel> thanks I try it now
Aug 16 23:44:59 <tuv> again, expect a long boot when the check is performed
Aug 16 23:45:51 <Cheef-Daniel> it's ok the slug has nothing to do at the moment
Aug 16 23:47:05 <Cheef-Daniel> do you know if someone tryed firebird on the slug?
Aug 16 23:47:11 <tuv> and this will happen every now and then if you set FSCKFIX=yes. ext3 filesystems usually get checked every 30 mounts
Aug 16 23:47:30 <tuv> so roughly every 30 reboots one will take long
Aug 16 23:48:17 <tuv> if you don't want the check performed then just ignore the dmesg line
Aug 16 23:48:41 <Cheef-Daniel> is the whole disc checked or only the sys-partition?
Aug 16 23:49:13 <tuv> depends on your /etc/fstab. man fstab for details
Aug 17 01:00:37 <Cheef-Daniel> n8
