Dec 25 14:34:24 yes Dec 25 14:34:42 well, you want /opt/bin/eggdrop -m eggdrop.conf Dec 25 14:34:56 and what's your path? you should have '/opt/bin' in your path Dec 25 14:36:44 # /opt/bin/xchat Dec 25 14:36:44 en shared object file: No such file or directory Dec 25 14:37:14 ./opt/bin/xchat: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot op Dec 25 14:37:17 en shared object file: No such file or directory Dec 25 14:38:08 its missing a dependancy by the looks of that Dec 25 14:38:28 Alt_F4, try irssi Dec 25 14:38:34 ok Dec 25 14:39:13 i run /opt/bin/irssi Dec 25 14:40:10 Alt_F4, irssi alone should do Dec 25 14:41:46 ./opt/bin/irssi: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so: Dec 25 14:43:54 i login with root, it's ok? Dec 25 14:44:18 Alt_F4, lose the . Dec 25 14:44:29 he's putting that as IRC wont let you just do / Dec 25 14:44:34 as it takes it as a command Dec 25 14:44:46 use another user Dec 25 14:44:47 * Reedy_Boy says look, the /me command Dec 25 14:45:54 if i login with another user Dec 25 14:46:05 i have this message Cannot execute /dev/null: Permission denied Dec 25 14:46:47 edit /etc/passwd (or is it /opt/etc/passwd? can't remember) and change /dev/null to bash's path for that user Dec 25 14:49:28 i can edit in terminal? Dec 25 14:50:44 Alt_F4, nano Dec 25 15:00:27 tuv - can i ask you a question? Dec 25 15:00:40 sure Dec 25 15:00:58 trying to sort MySQL out on my slug Dec 25 15:01:06 need to make a change to the my.cnf Dec 25 15:01:10 to comment out one line Dec 25 15:01:20 i tried doing it through nano - by overwriting the file Dec 25 15:01:29 but then it was all skewed and bunched up Dec 25 15:01:33 and mysql wouldnt run Dec 25 15:01:48 whats the easiest way to change it? Dec 25 15:02:19 do you know the changes you need? Dec 25 15:02:20 as im on windows, so cant write to the flash disk from windows, and via the share system, i cant get a write to hold on the my.cnf Dec 25 15:02:26 yeah Dec 25 15:02:28 change the line that is Dec 25 15:02:29 skip-networking Dec 25 15:02:29 to Dec 25 15:02:30 #skip-networking Dec 25 15:03:11 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/MySQL Dec 25 15:04:04 ssh Dec 25 15:04:25 ive got telnet setup, which im tring to do it through Dec 25 15:04:33 would ssh be betteR? Dec 25 15:04:55 so what's the problem? telnet and ssh provide exactly the same function. only ssh is encrypted Dec 25 15:05:34 telnet, run 'nano /path/to/my.cnf' Dec 25 15:05:39 yeah Dec 25 15:06:04 . /opt/bin/nano -w /opt/etc/my.cnf Dec 25 15:06:30 i can change the line by overwriting it all Dec 25 15:06:34 is there another way? Dec 25 15:07:19 you can just insert a # at the beginning of the line. nano is pretty straightforward Dec 25 15:08:20 how do i get to th e line? Dec 25 15:08:20 ctrl + W ? Dec 25 15:08:20 arrows? Dec 25 15:08:49 i need to use a better telnet client than hyperterminal Dec 25 15:10:07 ahh Dec 25 15:10:08 use putty Dec 25 15:10:13 i just am Dec 25 15:10:14 ;) Dec 25 15:10:23 loasd bettter Dec 25 15:11:11 # /opt/bin/mysql -u root Dec 25 15:11:11 /opt/bin/mysql: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Dec 25 15:11:49 just need to sort out access rights now it seems Dec 25 15:12:02 but Dec 25 15:12:02 # /opt/bin/mysql -u root Dec 25 15:12:02 /opt/bin/mysql: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Dec 25 15:12:09 but /opt/bin/mysql -u root Dec 25 15:12:09 doesnt work Dec 25 15:12:20 missing the reference library Dec 25 15:12:39 that's why i use debian/NSLU2 Dec 25 15:13:05 mysql there in a compiled package?

Dec 25 15:26:16 i'm from italy Dec 25 15:27:31 finland Dec 25 15:41:18 hi Dec 25 15:42:08 hi Dec 25 15:57:38 i can't login with admin user Dec 25 15:57:50 i only login with root Dec 25 16:06:50 admin admin on the web interface.. Dec 25 16:06:56 there is no admin on telnet/ssh Dec 25 16:07:41 ok Dec 25 16:07:41 in telnet only root? Dec 25 16:07:41 yup Dec 25 16:07:55 default password for root is uNSLUng Dec 25 16:08:01 but some times it remembers your manually set one Dec 25 16:08:18 ok Dec 25 16:22:34 Hello everyone im gonna buy a secondary nslu2 unit but i have a question i know some unit is like 233mhz some other is 266mhz before buying is there a way to know which unit is based by reading something special on the box ? Dec 25 16:29:11 ok now i'm reflashing Dec 25 16:29:57 when i refles i unsling Dec 25 16:30:16 to disk 2 Dec 25 16:31:17 when i have unsling to disk 2, what i do to? Dec 25 16:54:36 Alt_F4 - Restart the unit, confirm it is unslung Dec 25 16:54:51 then ipkg update, ipkg install unslung-feeds, ipkg update, ipkg upgrade Dec 25 16:55:54 DSbeef - The older units came out at 133mhz +/- 10 Dec 25 16:56:05 some newer units have been reported to be at 266mhz Dec 25 16:56:32 Many seem to be 05/06 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/OverClockTheSlug Dec 25 16:56:49 so i reckon 05/06 and newer (manufacturing date) are not de-underclocked Dec 25 16:57:02 cat /proc/cpuinfo Dec 25 16:57:05 will tell you what it is Dec 25 16:57:17 tuv: you still here? Dec 25 16:59:38 hello Dec 25 17:00:57 hello Dec 25 17:02:10 has anyone set up a website on the slug using unslung? i'm not sure what's the best way to proceed whilst keeping the default interface... should i just move it to its own directory? or maybe it's better to launch two instances of thttpd, keeping the administration root on another port? Dec 25 17:03:37 yeah, i believe most people just change the web port to say 8080 or something other than the default port 80 Dec 25 17:05:24 hmm ok, thanks. i have some investigations to do :) (especially regarding php). i'll rtfm. :P Dec 25 17:06:13 lol Dec 25 17:07:04 if your stuck, and no ones about on here, just stick a message on nslu2-general Dec 25 17:07:09 someone usually gets back to you Dec 25 17:08:30 Reedy_Boy: thanks for the tip and on the box is there a date so i can have an idea ? Dec 25 17:10:03 errm Dec 25 17:11:33 im not sure where people have found it Dec 25 17:11:42 i cant see it on my slug itself, or its box Dec 25 17:11:46 let me find my other box Dec 25 17:12:01 k Dec 25 17:12:48 i cant find one Dec 25 17:12:48 :/ Dec 25 17:12:53 there must be for people to report that Dec 25 17:13:14 i can only say, that if the company has regular stock, it'd probably be a non restricted one Dec 25 17:13:37 its a very simple mod - needle nose pliars can be used for it, just to smash the ceramic resistor Dec 25 17:14:43 yeah that what i saw on the page Dec 25 17:14:53 Reedy_Boy, yes, i'm here :) Dec 25 17:16:46 dsbeef: the most difficult part is opening the case for the first time IMHO Dec 25 17:17:00 probly hehe Dec 25 17:17:31 tuv: i've got 2 slugs - one with a 512mb memory stick (probably not best for debian?), and one wth a 8gb lacie orange memory card Dec 25 17:17:38 which has a little hard drive in side of it Dec 25 17:17:51 would the hard drive based thing probably be better for debian? Dec 25 17:18:13 probably.. no idea of any preference Dec 25 17:19:14 Reedy_Boy, btw, your link to the smallnetbuilder.com article is broken, but the article is still there Dec 25 17:19:19 i was just skimming jim buzbee's article about debian on the slug, and the reference that hard drive was better than flash unless you wanted to fiddle confiuring it Dec 25 17:19:55 yeah, i noticed/found it manually :) Dec 25 17:29:20 hmm, think i will use my turbo slug, with the 8gb hard drive from the other one Dec 25 17:30:28 er, is issuing 'reboot' a bad way to reboot an unslung slug? Dec 25 17:30:45 dont think so Dec 25 17:31:09 what's wrong with it then, it's been down for over 3 minutes Dec 25 17:31:10 i do it if im in telnet and want to restart Dec 25 17:31:20 exactly what i did.. Dec 25 17:31:21 have you installed something new? Dec 25 17:31:32 just tor Dec 25 17:31:40 and changed the port in /etc/thttpd.conf Dec 25 17:32:10 sometimes they have funny boots, my one with mysql takes a lot longer to boot now.. not exactly sure why, as its a quick start if you do it manually Dec 25 17:32:45 ah there it is Dec 25 17:32:49 replying to my pings Dec 25 17:33:04 of course ssh will take a while to accept connections Dec 25 17:33:07 thats computers for oyu Dec 25 17:33:09 wow, i was scared. Dec 25 17:33:31 ehhe Dec 25 17:35:10 funny, thttpd is still on port 80 Dec 25 17:35:23 check the thttpd.conf Dec 25 17:35:25 has it changed? Dec 25 17:35:30 cat /etc/thttpd.conf Dec 25 17:35:32 *blinks* Dec 25 17:35:35 it still says port=80 Dec 25 17:35:40 but i had changed it to 8080 Dec 25 17:35:44 * Jollino reboots it again Dec 25 17:35:45 how did you change it Dec 25 17:35:45 ? Dec 25 17:35:53 i edited it with vi Dec 25 17:37:50 you shouldnt need to restart the slug... cant you just restart thttpd? Dec 25 17:38:35 if it doesnt work this time, try doing it in the web interface Dec 25 17:41:12 i just want to make sure it works after a possible reboot Dec 25 17:41:17 but i have to run right now Dec 25 17:41:23 (ahhh, parents) Dec 25 17:41:26 i'll be back later Dec 25 17:41:28 :) thanks for now Dec 25 17:42:05 speaking of parents, i'd better go downstairs Dec 25 17:42:05 cyaa Dec 25 18:05:33 to stick debainslug on my NSLU2, it seems i need to go abck to the normal nslu2 firmware to do an upgrade from the web interface? Dec 25 18:06:57 or can i upgrade from the unslung 6.8 web interface Dec 25 18:06:59 i cant remember Dec 25 18:09:18 Reedy_Boy, you can upgrade using a special tool (unslug if you're running linux) Dec 25 18:09:22 check the wiki for details Dec 25 18:09:36 yeah, i know theres upslug Dec 25 18:09:42 Reedy_Boy, sorry, it's upslug Dec 25 18:09:54 there is a similar tool for windows Dec 25 18:10:02 theres the sercomm tool for windows, but i cant remember which slug of mine doesnt like that Dec 25 18:10:15 as it doesnt seem to activate the entwork port in redboot Dec 25 18:10:27 only one way to find out - take off the case to see which is serialised! Dec 25 18:10:44 i used upslug2 a few times without a problem Dec 25 18:10:56 ive used the windows one a few times no problems Dec 25 18:11:00 its just this one slug Dec 25 18:11:03 and i cant remember which it is Dec 25 18:11:29 you dont need to telnet into redboot Dec 25 18:11:35 with sercomm Dec 25 18:11:39 i know Dec 25 18:11:49 but you need to be able to access it over the network to transfer the file Dec 25 18:12:01 true Dec 25 18:12:20 how typical! Dec 25 18:12:43 the slug i was going to use for debian, is the one that has been serialised! Dec 25 18:13:09 very neat job by bullfrog! Dec 25 18:14:11 almost looks like it was manufactured like that Dec 25 18:18:11 yeah, the turbo slug is the one that sercomm tool wont find Dec 25 18:18:19 but the other is fine Dec 25 18:19:25 tuv: does the hard drive thing want formatting before the upgrade? Dec 25 18:19:47 then use the sercomm tool to put the debian software on Dec 25 18:19:55 do you connect with the ip that it is currently set? Dec 25 18:20:09 yes. the debian-installer (d-i) can do that for you Dec 25 18:20:30 so i dont need to worry about the formatting? Dec 25 18:20:37 no Dec 25 18:20:58 for the image - use the sercom tool then? Dec 25 18:23:05 yes. you'll need to upload two images: one for the installer itselfy, and then another image to boot to debian Dec 25 18:25:00 or maybe that's the old procedure. the up-to-date procedure is at: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Dec 25 18:25:19 yeah, thats what im looking at, i was thinking, that only lists one file! Dec 25 18:25:33 thanks Dec 25 18:26:25 'At the end of the installation, the installer will write the new kernel to flash.' that had to be done manually previously Dec 25 18:26:47 ah Dec 25 18:27:05 fair enough, i suppose they had the debian guy working a lot on it Dec 25 18:27:42 yeah.. Martin Michlmayr did a great job Dec 25 18:27:53 it looks like he's done a hell of a lot of work! Dec 25 18:28:12 no drive attached during reflash? and then after its restarted, attach drive? Dec 25 18:28:50 i don't remember the details, but that sounds like it. please check with the page to be sure Dec 25 18:29:24 you know.. you install debian only once Dec 25 18:29:43 merry xmas nslu guys Dec 25 18:30:03 what do you mean by that tuv? Dec 25 18:30:38 Reedy_Boy, i mean once it's installed, you don't deal with the installer again.. it's pretty self-maintaining Dec 25 18:30:44 ah right Dec 25 18:30:47 :) Dec 25 18:31:04 sounds like i frightened you for a bit there :) Dec 25 18:31:23 yeah, you made me stop, and go, errm.... Dec 25 18:32:06 it doesnt mention a specific port for the drive - i take its whichever you want to use? Dec 25 18:32:23 don't you worry with debian. actually another advantage is that you can ask at #debian Dec 25 18:32:55 cool Dec 25 18:33:01 on freenode? or another IRC/ Dec 25 18:33:15 Reedy_Boy, probably, although i think it's logical to start with port 1. the thing is, it's a full blown linux system now without any of linksys/unslung's restrictions Dec 25 18:33:25 yeah Dec 25 18:33:30 on freenode and oftc Dec 25 18:34:07 i think there is also #debian-arm on oftc Dec 25 18:34:39 cool, good for reference Dec 25 18:36:13 and its on its way Dec 25 18:39:49 oooh the led's flash differently hehe Dec 25 18:40:11 now the 7 minute wait! Dec 25 18:41:51 3 beeps Dec 25 18:41:55 that was a quick 7 minutes Dec 25 18:49:44 menu or shell? Dec 25 18:51:04 going with menu Dec 25 18:58:33 tuv: you there?
