**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 28 02:59:56 2006 Sep 28 05:22:02 Does anyone know if it's possible to run the NX server on an unslung NSLU2? I'm assuming that would also require setting up some X-server packages, but I'm not sure which ones, but in any case I see no mention of NX in the repositories (NX is much faster than VNC, from http://www.nomachine.com/ ) Sep 28 10:22:38 how easy is it to set up a networked printer using the slug? Sep 28 10:22:50 i have cups installed, and can navigate to the cups page Sep 28 10:23:55 which printer you have btw? Sep 28 10:25:15 HL-1440 Sep 28 10:25:18 made by brother Sep 28 10:25:28 linux compaitble (fully) according to linuxprinting.opref Sep 28 10:25:32 er, *org Sep 28 10:26:26 however, i plug the printer into port one (unslung disk on port 2) and the light on the slug doesn't seem to come on Sep 28 10:26:38 how do i check if it's plugged in properly as "lsusb" doesn't work Sep 28 10:28:42 when navigating the cups web interface i get LOADS of 403's (access forbidden) Sep 28 10:28:51 and i've never done any printing on linuix before Sep 28 10:41:22 Lunar_Lamp you will need to install a kernel module for USB printing Sep 28 10:41:31 aha Sep 28 10:41:37 well that it doesn't say Sep 28 10:41:40 you may also have other problems Sep 28 10:41:44 (i'm usung unslung) Sep 28 10:58:48 hmm Sep 28 10:58:50 sh S88cups Sep 28 10:58:50 cupsd: Child exited on signal 15! Sep 28 10:58:59 anyone have any hints about what that means? Sep 28 11:03:21 what version of cups? Sep 28 11:04:15 erm, whatever is the default in unslung repo's Sep 28 11:04:22 how do i check? cupsd -v? Sep 28 11:04:26 did you add / configure a printer yet? Sep 28 11:04:31 no Sep 28 11:04:40 well, kinda Sep 28 11:04:40 try that first, might solve the proble, Sep 28 11:04:54 i'm a bit clucless when it comes to printers in unix Sep 28 11:05:33 I found some other fellows that had a similar problem in https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/33173 maybe your problem is the same Sep 28 11:06:12 I dont know much about cups, but it seems that if you ignore the error and install/add/configure a printer, all could be well Sep 28 11:08:59 my cups conf is here: http://lunarlamp.dyndns.org/cupsd.conf Sep 28 11:09:59 you could try printing test pages from the cups interface at localhost:631 Sep 28 11:10:15 but I really don't know how... I'm just a google freak Sep 28 11:12:49 did you dig some in http://www.linuxprinting.org/ and http://www.cups.org/? Sep 28 11:16:09 i know the printer should work, but i can't start the cupsdaemon properly atm Sep 28 11:27:28 I have a printer on my nslu2, and it works...all I did though was installed cups and plugged the printer in Sep 28 11:28:07 I changed a few settings to make it work with samba3 (with swat) but that was it Sep 28 12:50:01 hello! Sep 28 12:50:23 anyone here running GentooSlug and can help me with setting my time using zic? Sep 28 12:50:38 i live in sweden so it is UTC +2 Sep 28 14:34:32 is it possible to get an irc client installed on the slug? Sep 28 14:36:38 Lunar_Lamp, yes, you can install an irc-bouncer (proxy, like miau) or an irc-client like irssi Sep 28 14:36:45 ok Sep 28 14:36:54 miau is installed, but i'm not sure how to use it as a bouncer Sep 28 14:37:25 but is irssi in the unslung repositories? (just as temp measure) Sep 28 14:39:32 Lunar_Lamp: irssi is in nslu2 optware feed Sep 28 14:40:02 er, so, on unslung i just need to "ipkg install irssi"? Sep 28 14:40:03 it does not support perl scripting yet Sep 28 14:40:15 yes Sep 28 14:40:19 i'm not bothered about perl scripting, so long as it does basic irc stuff Sep 28 14:40:35 i'm typing this from irssi on slug Sep 28 14:40:55 heh Sep 28 14:40:57 gdgd Sep 28 14:41:09 then i'll work out how to configure miau to use as a bnc Sep 28 15:07:22 Lunar_Lamp, do you need a working config as sample? Sep 28 15:12:23 Lunar_Lamp, http://www.student-zw.fh-kl.de/~pasc0007/miaurc (change the values to your need) Sep 28 15:56:08 Hi, I need some help, my nslu2 won't go into upgrade mode per the instructions, the status light goes orange, then after 20 seconds or so it goes green and boots up normally :( Sep 28 15:56:32 which instructions? Sep 28 15:56:44 have you used the reset-button method? Sep 28 15:56:57 yes, that method Sep 28 15:57:20 brand new, untouched nslu2 Sep 28 15:57:30 when did you release the button? Sep 28 15:57:36 it needs to be timed right Sep 28 15:58:20 the light doesn't go red Sep 28 16:02:48 at all? Sep 28 16:03:10 does the NSLU2 boot at all? Sep 28 16:04:07 blaster: from that description - it does Sep 28 16:04:35 mark: and you're sure this is not color blindness? ;) Sep 28 16:04:35 I'm wondering if he can SSH in and knock out mtdblock5 Sep 28 16:04:37 ah, it seems the "red" isn't that different from the amber, seems to be in upgrade mode now Sep 28 16:04:40 \o/ Sep 28 16:04:53 I'm not colour blind, and I do wear glasses :P Sep 28 16:07:07 but somehow you managed... ;) Sep 28 18:25:26 I'll try this again - does anyone know if it's possible to run the NX server on an unslung NSLU2? I'm assuming that would also require setting up some X-server packages, but I'm not sure which ones, but in any case I see no mention of NX in the repositories (NX is much faster than VNC, from http://www.nomachine.com/ ) Sep 28 18:30:30 And on an unrelated subject- it sure would be useful to be able to run Privoxy (http://www.privoxy.org/) on an unslung NSLU2 (privoxy is an ad- and popup-blocking web proxy server, that could be utilized by all the web browsers on your network if it were possible to install it on the NSLU2. They have packages galore, but not for the slug (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=11118) Sep 28 18:31:27 EvilDevil - thankyou for that config file, very useful. would you happen to know how to configure miau to use two servers at the same time? or is that not possible? Sep 28 18:43:31 Lunar_Lamp, that's not possible. You would have to rund 2 instances of miau to accomplish that (or use something else like psyBNC) Sep 28 19:29:44 EvilDevil - thanks - psybnc can't connect to >1 server that i'm aware Sep 28 19:29:52 didn't think miau coult - just curious Sep 28 21:38:38 hmm - anyone here can help me with the concept of /etc/TZ Sep 28 21:39:06 i need to set it from UTC to +2 h Sep 28 21:39:27 in order to make it show swedish time Sep 28 21:44:08 petfrogg, I use GMT on my servers so don't worry about it. Pretty much find the right timezone file in /usr/share/zoneinfo and copy it to the appropriate place in /etc Sep 28 21:45:01 http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/guide-localization.xml is a good howto for you Sep 28 21:45:50 thanx Sep 28 21:45:57 i need one of those manuals Sep 28 21:46:29 No problem. Gentoo has some great documentation & HowTos that are useful for any linux user Sep 28 21:46:47 the problem is that time-zone does not work on GentooSlug due the ussage of uClib Sep 28 21:46:50 i tried that one before Sep 28 21:46:59 i installed timezone-utils Sep 28 21:47:23 (it think) and i did the copy it states but that didn't help Sep 28 21:47:38 seems like GentooSlug needs to use zic as timesetter Sep 28 21:48:10 Not sure about uclibc. I bagged uclibc for a gentooslug install I had and have a gcc4.1.1 & libc2.4 build just about finished. Sep 28 21:48:38 hmm Sep 28 21:48:39 ok Sep 28 21:48:48 hmm Sep 28 21:49:05 seems like my gf is protesting about med doing computers at 00:06 Sep 28 21:49:10 need to sleep Sep 28 21:49:25 hmpf... Sep 28 21:49:32 talk to you later joshin Sep 28 21:49:46 I have /usr/portage, /var/tmp/portage, and a couple other portage directories nfs mounted. :) Sep 28 21:49:48 take care! Sep 28 21:49:56 so do i 8 ) Sep 28 21:50:05 but i have not moved that /var/tmp/portage yet Sep 28 21:50:10 night Sep 28 21:50:14 petfrogg, go give your GF some attention. computers don't mind being ignored like GF's do **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 29 00:05:08 2006 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 29 00:12:12 2006 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 29 00:19:30 2006 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 29 00:24:12 2006 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 29 02:59:57 2006
