Nov 06 03:12:09 <meklort> hi
Nov 06 03:23:27 <widrone> hello meklort 
Nov 06 03:36:56 <meklort> i seam to have finaly gotten the buildroot to work in gentoo. Just build the zd1211b package, but i cant seam to find where the modules are.
Nov 06 03:39:07 <meklort> nevermind, I just found it
Nov 06 03:40:23 <widrone> i just landed from a "I have bricked it!" fear ssession, seems I got a loose cat5 cable giving me the creeps =) 
Nov 06 03:41:52 <meklort> thats never good. now i sema to have a problem loading the module, says -1 Invalid module format
Nov 06 03:42:16 <meklort> and dmesg says zd1211b: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module
Nov 06 03:43:02 <meklort> any ideas?
Nov 06 08:50:25 <sime> I want to upgrade from standard linksys firmware to standard linksys firmware. I am getting not enough space error.
Nov 06 11:02:30 <drif> and how did you try to proceed with the upgrade?
Nov 06 11:41:05 <sime> drif, I haven't
Nov 06 11:42:38 <drif> what
Nov 06 11:42:38 <drif> sorry - premature enter :P
Nov 06 11:42:44 <drif> what about that error then?
Nov 06 11:43:00 <drif> you surely have done something to achieve it
Nov 06 11:43:30 <sime> Erm, gave it a path to the new firmware
Nov 06 11:43:30 <drif> it?
Nov 06 11:43:39 <drif> you mean using the web interface?
Nov 06 11:43:42 <sime> Yes.
Nov 06 11:44:17 <drif> in which form it was?
Nov 06 11:44:22 <drif> the file you sent
Nov 06 11:45:00 <sime> .bin
Nov 06 11:45:03 <widrone> you were trying a linksys to linksys firware upgrade, correct? 
Nov 06 11:45:23 <drif> atleast that's what sime said
Nov 06 11:45:44 <sime> widrone, yes
Nov 06 11:46:08 <widrone> heh, never did that really. Why? New version of the firmware? 
Nov 06 11:46:17 <sime> widrone, yes
Nov 06 11:46:37 <widrone> I do remember there being some docs about some "out of space error" on the wiki, dealing with upgrade process. 
Nov 06 11:47:56 <widrone> But my best bet would be to pester linksys with it, seeing they made the software =) 
Nov 06 11:49:17 <sime> yeah there's a workaround using eraseall
Nov 06 11:49:37 <widrone> Never *ever* use the Linksys EraseAll tool - it will brick your slug permanently.
Nov 06 11:49:54 <widrone> Thats from the TOP of our wiki. Do that and be out of luck here mate =) 
Nov 06 11:50:24 <sime> widrone, I know, thats why i ask
Nov 06 11:50:26 <sime> http://forums.linksys.com/linksys/board/message?board.id=Network_Storage&message.id=395
Nov 06 11:50:34 <sime> User experienced the same thing as me.
Nov 06 11:50:53 <sime> But i found the doc you were talking about, and it seems to be working.
Nov 06 11:51:11 <sime> Power off, unplug all drives, power on, go straight to firmware upgrade.
Nov 06 11:51:26 <sime> flashing red/green atm
Nov 06 11:52:24 <widrone> "Unable to install the selected kernel", waaaaa! (me crying) I messed it up again... 
Nov 06 11:53:18 <widrone> sime: Great, I knew someone put a fix in there once. 
Nov 06 11:54:12 <sime> same doc links to the forum link i just parted tho
Nov 06 11:56:12 * widrone makes mental note to use the default settings this time around.
Nov 06 15:50:20 <peshalto> my thumbdrive LED keeps blinking every few seconds. What is that file you can touch to stop this?
Nov 06 15:51:32 <widrone> what firmware are you running then? 
Nov 06 15:51:54 <peshalto> Linux LKG6847D2 2.4.22-xfs #1 Mon Apr 10 18:17:11 PDT 2006 armv5b GNU/Linux
Nov 06 15:52:19 <widrone> 2.4 and xfs? Unslung something? 
Nov 06 15:52:25 <peshalto> unslung
Nov 06 15:52:32 <peshalto> yes
Nov 06 15:52:50 <peshalto> unslung "something" is about as specific as I remember :-)
Nov 06 15:53:13 <peshalto> let's see, it's 6.8 beta.
Nov 06 15:53:57 <widrone> unslung something is more then enough so far =) 
Nov 06 15:56:09 <widrone> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/ConstantlyBlinkingThumbdriveLED
Nov 06 15:56:19 <widrone> Omg, not being helpfull at all that file. 
Nov 06 15:57:33 <widrone> Sorry, Im blank on that myself other then that little bit. 
Nov 06 16:07:34 <widrone> Configure flash memory to boot the system, and it fails. Hm, troubleshooting time ;)
Nov 06 16:09:24 <peshalto> thanks
Nov 06 16:09:50 <peshalto> google is just not finding this... amazing because i remember a lot of the keywords around it.
Nov 06 16:10:27 <peshalto> you touch this file and it changes the way the filesystem works, defers the writes longer or something, introducing some risk / safety issues, but extending the life of the thumbdrive.
Nov 06 16:10:51 <peshalto> plenty of google fodder there, but no good results
Nov 06 16:14:10 <widrone> could it be the noatime mount option related? 
Nov 06 16:14:13 <peshalto> ah, found it
Nov 06 16:14:31 <peshalto> google query: nslu2 touch site:nslu2-linux.org
Nov 06 16:14:52 <peshalto> it's /.ext3flash
Nov 06 16:15:04 <widrone> Ah, nice. 
Nov 06 16:15:08 <peshalto> but strange, i have the file, but i'm still getting lots of blinking.
Nov 06 16:16:04 <peshalto> maybe i'm getting lots of web hits. not that i have any content to serve.
Nov 06 16:16:13 <peshalto> but could be zombie machines
Nov 06 16:16:47 <widrone> netstat -n maybe lists some open connections? (If they are there) 
Nov 06 16:17:36 <widrone> Hm, wonder if I ever got that bootloader (stage 2) to install. Well here goes, moment of truth =) 
Nov 06 16:17:38 <peshalto> hmm, lists only my ssh connection
Nov 06 16:17:54 * peshalto goes to uncomment the log line in /etc/thttpd.conf
Nov 06 16:18:03 <peshalto> heh
Nov 06 17:14:29 <eiffel_> peshalto killall USB_Detect did it for me you only need that if you plug something in the usb ports so just start it before and kill it afterwards  
Nov 06 18:52:09 <janne5011> Hi all, I use openslug and want lua 5.0.2 on it, there is lua 5.1 available but i neeed the older version. can someone advise me how to fix this? I have never done such so a good link or how to/example would help
Nov 06 18:58:56 <widrone> Hm, you need an older version? Really, can I ask why? Im the curoius one ;)
Nov 06 19:02:14 <janne5011> becuse the lua scripts in use is 5.0.2, i think anyway 5.1 is not a option. 
Nov 06 19:04:19 <janne5011> so scripts for 502 dont works on 5.1 and is not accpeted by app. cant help it
Nov 06 19:09:05 <widrone> Ah, understand. However I know not enough about the bitbake system to really tell you if it supports building older packages. 
Nov 06 19:09:42 <widrone> Maybe the ikpgk search on the websites can find you an older version you can "force load". 
Nov 06 19:10:00 <widrone> Not really "tha supported hack" but it may be a start. 
Nov 06 19:10:24 <janne5011> no there is only 5.1 
Nov 06 19:12:12 <janne5011> but i search again to be 100% sure
Nov 06 19:15:21 <widrone> Hm... ill let it linger a bit. There is always compilation from source... 
Nov 06 19:17:28 <janne5011> i hope i can make this one one my ubuntu.
Nov 06 19:17:36 <janne5011> *on
Nov 07 00:06:29 <widrone> Just did one of my slugs with the d-i, working great. Thanks! (Incase someone is listening out there)
