Dec 15 03:20:11 <danychouinard> I do need to add a linuxrc.raid in my /unslung folder, but I need to clear some room.  Anything I should be able to remove without breaking anything?
Dec 15 03:23:06 <danychouinard> i mean my /initrd folder.
Dec 15 03:36:52 <danychouinard> Mmmm.  Bad.  I deleted some stuff in my /initrd/var/log and it did not release any space on the device.  What is going on?
Dec 15 03:40:45 <danychouinard> Well, I must have been really annoying, everyone left.
Dec 15 03:41:13 <danychouinard> I'll be going then
Dec 15 04:21:35 <tuv> i get 'Error "I/O error" while copying ...' in nautilus when copying to Debian/NSLU2 over nfs. nslu2's syslog shows 'kernel: nfsd: non-standard errno: -14'
Dec 15 04:21:42 <tuv> files arrive at the nslu2 corrupted
Dec 15 09:52:43 <NSLU2-IRC> Hello all ind souls, Houston has a problem.. :(
Dec 15 09:52:51 <NSLU2-IRC> kind even
Dec 15 09:54:52 <NSLU2-IRC> I installed Debian on my slug , put up pure-ftpd with sql etc.. before i went to bed i did a shutdown no, forgot the -r ...today i cant get into my slug :( thr readu/status led is just blinking
Dec 15 10:03:29 <barnseenio> what happens when you reboot it?
Dec 15 10:03:37 <barnseenio> or remove power from it
Dec 15 10:14:00 <NSLU2-IRC> the same
Dec 15 10:14:16 <NSLU2-IRC> cant log into it, and cant ping it either
Dec 15 10:14:37 <NSLU2-IRC> yellow/green ligt blinking
Dec 15 10:15:04 <NSLU2-IRC> Ohh it took so long time to install everything hmm
Dec 15 10:22:59 <NSLU2-IRC> if i had another linux machine i could hook up the HDD to it..and se if there was anything wird
Dec 15 10:23:14 <NSLU2-IRC> weird even
Dec 15 10:31:48 <barnseenio> hmm odd
Dec 15 10:31:58 <barnseenio> i run debian on mine
Dec 15 10:32:09 <barnseenio> did you use the installer, or the bootstrap?
Dec 15 10:32:26 <NSLU2-IRC> installer
Dec 15 10:32:43 <barnseenio> mm i used bootstrap
Dec 15 10:33:00 <NSLU2-IRC> ok, its that harder?
Dec 15 10:33:11 <NSLU2-IRC> i mean more difficult?
Dec 15 10:35:21 <barnseenio> not sure - i have nothing to compare against ;-)
Dec 15 10:35:30 <barnseenio> i thought it was easy - i just followed instructions
Dec 15 10:38:43 <NSLU2-IRC> yes, hmm ill install debian on my laptop and try to see if i can acces the external harddisk with debian on it..
Dec 15 10:46:07 <NSLU2-IRC> i was so glad yesterday but not anymore...
Dec 15 10:49:56 <barnseenio> well
Dec 15 10:50:07 <barnseenio> you can access an ext3 filesystem from windows too
Dec 15 10:51:06 <NSLU2-IRC> which program should i use?
Dec 15 10:51:34 <barnseenio> i think ive used fs-driver
Dec 15 10:52:05 <NSLU2-IRC> thank u
Dec 15 10:52:07 <barnseenio> no
Dec 15 10:52:08 <barnseenio> Explore2fs
Dec 15 10:52:13 <NSLU2-IRC> ahh
Dec 15 10:52:22 <NSLU2-IRC> ok ill dl it
Dec 15 10:52:31 <barnseenio> fsdriver is neat, as its a device driver, but i *think* its only ext2
Dec 15 10:53:10 <NSLU2-IRC> ok ill try Explore first
Dec 15 11:10:25 <NSLU2-IRC> DSIConfigInit: Error registering afp://192.168.1.77/?NAME=brokenslug&ZONE= with SRVLOC
Dec 15 11:10:37 <NSLU2-IRC> i can see that in a deamon log
Dec 15 11:11:52 <NSLU2-IRC> main: atp_open: Cannot assign requested address
Dec 15 14:02:31 <ido-> hey guys.
Dec 15 14:50:55 <ido-> hrm
Dec 15 14:51:41 <ido-> sleepy channel
Dec 15 14:55:10 <ido-> How can i "unslinging" my device ?
Dec 15 15:10:34 <ido-> hey blondie
Dec 15 15:11:10 <blondie> hi
Dec 15 15:11:33 <ido-> I need help with unslug
Dec 15 15:12:16 <ido-> I've gone over the wiki/readme, but I'm not sure on how to unsling' it
Dec 15 15:12:37 <ido-> is there a way to use ipkg before unslinging it ?
Dec 15 15:16:42 <ido-> Error:  The ipkg command cannot currently be used because this system is running from its internal flash; it is not currently "unslung" to an external disk or flash device.
Dec 15 15:29:28 <osas> it is not recomended to run ipkg before you unsling
Dec 15 15:29:45 <osas> you may run out of space and brick your nslu
Dec 15 15:30:36 <ido-> brick ?
Dec 15 15:30:55 <osas> from the README:
Dec 15 15:31:05 <osas>      - If you were to run ipkg when the root filesystem is loaded from the
Dec 15 15:31:06 <osas>           internal jffs2 filesystem, then you would fill the flash and cause
Dec 15 15:31:06 <osas>           your NSLU2 to no longer boot and require reflashing to recover.
Dec 15 15:31:16 <ido-> hrm.
Dec 15 15:31:17 <ido-> oh
Dec 15 15:31:25 <osas> so ... no brick :p
Dec 15 15:31:34 <osas> that's the good news :)
Dec 15 15:31:54 <osas> check the Unslung-6.8-beta-README.txt
Dec 15 15:31:58 <ido-> I thought the filesystem is loaded from ROM when  boot
Dec 15 15:32:13 <osas> follow the steps from the README and you can't go wrong
Dec 15 15:32:28 <ido-> is there a way to force it ?
Dec 15 15:32:33 <ido-> I need only fdisk
Dec 15 15:32:44 <ido-> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseAMemoryStickAsMainDrive
Dec 15 15:33:05 <osas> you need to unsling to that flash
Dec 15 15:33:36 <osas> format the flash from the web interface
Dec 15 15:33:42 <osas> how big is your flash?
Dec 15 15:34:05 <ido-> 65mb
Dec 15 15:34:20 <ido-> I cant flash from interface
Dec 15 15:34:20 <ido-> I need to fdisk manually
Dec 15 15:34:37 <ido-> but I cant get the damn fdisk utility on it
Dec 15 15:34:42 <ido-> since ipkg wont run
Dec 15 15:34:54 <osas> use knoppix
Dec 15 15:35:03 <ido-> no knoppix here :/
Dec 15 15:35:19 <osas> how big is your flash?
Dec 15 15:36:42 <ido-> 64mb
Dec 15 15:36:54 <osas> It is way to small
Dec 15 15:37:18 <osas> try with 5.5 ...
Dec 15 15:37:35 <ido-> how come ?
Dec 15 15:37:42 <ido-> because of the default partition sizes ?
Dec 15 15:38:14 <ido-> On a standard slug drive, the swap partition is about 55MB (with 6.8beta this changed to 128MB it seems)
Dec 15 15:45:07 <ido-> hrm
Dec 15 15:48:37 <osas> it is not the swap
Dec 15 15:48:51 <osas> you need three partitions: swap/data/conf
Dec 15 15:49:10 <ido-> actually if I'm correct its data/conf/swap... ;-)
Dec 15 15:49:14 <ido-> already made those
Dec 15 15:49:30 <ido-> I just got the busybox binary with the regular version of fdisk
Dec 15 15:49:37 <osas> I didn't put them in the right order :)
Dec 15 15:49:43 <ido-> now formating the new partitions from the web interface
Dec 15 15:49:50 <osas> it will not work
Dec 15 15:49:54 <osas> with 6.8
Dec 15 15:49:54 <ido-> taking quite a long time for such a small drive.
Dec 15 15:49:56 <ido-> why so /
Dec 15 15:50:17 <osas> because it will require a 512M flash drive
Dec 15 15:50:30 <osas> there is a page in the wiki about this issue
Dec 15 15:51:31 <ido-> Unsling complete.
Dec 15 15:51:32 <ido-> Leave the device disk2, /dev/sda1 plugged in, and reboot
Dec 15 15:51:32 <ido-> in order to boot this system up into unslung mode.
Dec 15 15:51:57 <ido-> I beg to differ, that works..
Dec 15 15:52:04 <osas> that's cool
Dec 15 15:52:10 <osas> update the wiki
Dec 15 15:52:40 <ido-> sec, booting the slug
Dec 15 15:52:47 <ido-> its a slow booter..
Dec 15 15:54:46 <ido-> hurray... just installed dropbear..
Dec 15 15:56:09 <ido-> when editing config files, should I editing them on /share/flash/data/etc
Dec 15 15:57:15 <ido-> oh, it doesnt matter.
Dec 15 15:57:29 <ido-> the flash drive mounts itself on /
Dec 15 15:57:33 <ido-> cool shit
Dec 15 16:18:09 <ido-> hrm
Dec 15 16:18:24 <ido-> how do i change the shell after I downloaded bash ?
Dec 15 16:20:46 <osas> in /etc/passwd
Dec 15 16:21:08 <osas> sh -> bash
Dec 15 16:21:23 <osas> make sure that you have the right path (/opt)
Dec 15 16:22:05 <ido-> echo /bin/bash > /etc/shells....
Dec 15 16:22:12 <ido-> that solved it.
Dec 15 18:42:39 <mijenix> after flashing the debian firmware what happens when I press the ON/OFF button?
Dec 15 18:42:44 <mijenix> does it really reboot?
Dec 15 18:42:54 <mijenix> or I need to unplug the power cord?
Dec 15 19:50:50 <mijenix> someone here?
Dec 15 21:35:59 <Reedy_Boy> Hey, Anyone Active?
