Dec 28 06:30:44 <leemur> I'm trying to build upslug2 and autoreconf -i is giving me an error "configure.ac: 8: required file `./[config.h].in' not found"
Dec 28 06:31:45 <leemur> ./configure appears to work stating "config.status: creating config.h"
Dec 28 06:32:11 <leemur> but then make fails with
Dec 28 06:32:11 <leemur> config.status: creating [config.h]
Dec 28 06:32:11 <leemur> config.status: error: cannot find input file: [config.h].in
Dec 28 06:32:11 <leemur> make: *** [stamp-h] Error 1
Dec 28 06:32:52 <leemur> can anyone give me a pointer on this?
Dec 28 06:33:26 <leemur> I have my slug in upgrade mode, ready to be flashed with debian

Dec 28 19:02:32 <McSalty> hi, does someone know something about x11 and ssh?
Dec 28 19:03:40 <ByronT> "knowing something" versus "being able to help others with said items" are two hugely different things
Dec 28 19:03:58 <ByronT> but if you'll ask a question, maybe someone (sometime) might be able to answer it
Dec 28 19:04:15 <ByronT> but if you never ask the question, then you'll definitely not get an answer
Dec 28 19:06:57 <McSalty> ;) k thanks, i've installed unslung and openssh, everything works perfect, but when i try to start a program that needs an X windows system it says "cannot open display"
Dec 28 19:12:48 <McSalty> it seems that i'm not the only one who has this problem, not none of them seems to have a solution, maybe i'm doing something wrong, i don't know
Dec 28 19:13:18 <McSalty> maybe some of you could help?
Dec 28 19:17:57 <NSLU2-IRC> hello?
Dec 28 19:18:09 <McSalty> hi NSLU2-IRC
Dec 28 19:18:25 <NSLU2-IRC> i've got a big problem!
Dec 28 19:18:46 <NSLU2-IRC> when i do this: # ipkg update
Dec 28 19:18:54 <NSLU2-IRC> i get this: ipkg: No such file or directory
Dec 28 19:21:15 <NSLU2-IRC> anyone any idea?
Dec 28 19:21:29 <McSalty> so you didn't installed openssh (you could not installed it if it could find ipkg)?
Dec 28 19:22:15 <NSLU2-IRC> i've been using my slug for the past few days fine, installing packages - i use putty to talk to it and have had no problems till today when i get that message/prolem
Dec 28 19:25:47 <NSLU2-IRC> i'm really stuck for ideas
Dec 28 19:26:08 <chacko> mcsalty: ru still there?
Dec 28 19:26:40 <McSalty> NSLU-IRC, maybe you can (re)add ipkg to your /usr/bin dir ?
Dec 28 19:26:44 <McSalty> yes, i'm still here
Dec 28 19:27:18 <NSLU2-IRC> how would i add it again? - where can i get it from?
Dec 28 19:27:36 <chacko> mcsalty: my guess-- to get xwindows, you need to install x11 on your unslung.  Did you install that?
Dec 28 19:29:04 <McSalty> which packages do i need? i installed xauth and x11
Dec 28 19:30:09 <McSalty> NSLU2-IRC, i suppose you can manually download ipkg and add it to that directorry by logging in via ftp (you can enable it in your web interface)
Dec 28 19:30:24 <chacko> mcsalty:  i do not use x11, but if you have already installed them, then i dont know...
Dec 28 19:30:53 <chacko> nslu2-irc:  are u on unslung?  5.x or 6.x?
Dec 28 19:30:59 <McSalty> you can see which packages you've installed by typing "ipkg list_installed"
Dec 28 19:31:24 <McSalty> unslung 6.x
Dec 28 19:32:45 <chacko> mcsalty: is nslu2-irc also running unslung 6.x?
Dec 28 19:33:14 <chacko> nslur2irc:  what do you see if you simply type ipkg alone?
Dec 28 19:36:48 <McSalty> NSLU2-IRC have you upgraded to a newer version?
Dec 28 19:37:15 <NSLU2-IRC> i've just got it back by copying some old files over
Dec 28 19:37:20 <NSLU2-IRC> seems ok now!
Dec 28 19:37:26 <McSalty> :)
Dec 28 19:37:50 <NSLU2-IRC> i'm trying to set up vsftpd now if anyone knows much about it to help at all?
Dec 28 19:37:55 <chacko> nslu2-irc: did you reboot?
Dec 28 19:38:24 <ByronT> nslu2-irc, could you change your nickname with a /nick newname, please?
Dec 28 19:38:39 <chacko> mcsalty:  Have you used x before?  I used it many year ago, it needs some specfic setups...
Dec 28 19:38:51 <NSLU2-IRC> how do i do that? - change my nicj?
Dec 28 19:39:05 <ByronT> just type in "/nick newnickname"
Dec 28 19:39:11 <ByronT> thank you
Dec 28 19:39:14 <NSLU2-IRC> "/nick michael"
Dec 28 19:39:22 <ByronT> without the quotes....  ;)
Dec 28 19:39:23 <McSalty> i did never configured it before if that is what you mean, i'm new to X
Dec 28 19:39:30 <NSLU2-IRC> that ok?
Dec 28 19:39:41 <McSalty> withouw " NSLU-IRC
Dec 28 19:39:41 <chacko> and make it short :)
Dec 28 19:40:13 <NSLU2-IRC> grr i don't know what i'm doing wrong here
Dec 28 19:40:37 <michaelperrin> ahh
Dec 28 19:40:41 <chacko> mikey:  it now easy for us to address you :)
Dec 28 19:40:41 <michaelperrin> works now:)
Dec 28 19:40:44 <michaelperrin> hehe
Dec 28 19:40:54 <michaelperrin> so has anyone set up vsftpd?
Dec 28 19:41:45 <chacko> it is better to use very short nick names; if we are talking to a specific person then we put the nickname: at the front of each msg...
Dec 28 19:42:25 <mikey> ok:)
Dec 28 19:42:43 <chacko> And then you can confiure your irc to color highlight any incoming msg which has your nickname in it.  that way when somebody talks to you, you would easily see it :)
Dec 28 19:42:46 <McSalty> chacko: what do you mean with "specfic setups". what do i have to configure?
Dec 28 19:43:06 <ByronT> mikeyp, have you check this page: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Vsftpd?from=Unslung.Vsftpd
Dec 28 19:43:28 <mikeyp> yeah i've checked i've been trying to follow it for 2 days but i just dont get it
Dec 28 19:43:45 <ByronT> what do you mean?
Dec 28 19:43:45 <chacko> mcsalty:  as I said, I have used it long time ago, cant remember now.  You need to readup how to use x, and then set it up; I do not think it is trivial
Dec 28 19:44:24 <McSalty> chaco: k thanks i'll try to get some info about it
Dec 28 19:44:42 <ByronT> more information as to what is/is not happening is always helpful
Dec 28 19:47:01 <mikeyp> i get this when i try and FTP in:
Dec 28 19:47:02 <mikeyp> 500 OOPS: failed to open vsftpd log file:/opt/var/log/vsftpd.log
Dec 28 19:47:04 <chacko> mcsalty: and when you have it working, you can come here and summarize what you did for others' benefit, or add a wiki page :)
Dec 28 19:47:48 <McSalty> :) good idea
Dec 28 19:47:56 <McSalty> i also have another problem, i want to connect my voip-phone  (USB PHONE) (there is no mark on it) sorry for the big link http://images.google.com/images?q=tbn:kDI9Rp0OAkcxHM:http://www.lootsale.co.uk/image.php%3Fproductid%3D35781
Dec 28 19:48:47 <McSalty> i can't get it working with standard drivers
Dec 28 19:49:04 <ByronT> mikeyp, can you ssh/telnet in?
Dec 28 19:50:17 <mikeyp> yes - also i need to edit the conf file but it is read only for some reason
Dec 28 19:50:21 <ByronT> and then type in "cd /opt/var/log"  (without the quotes)
Dec 28 19:50:43 <mikeyp> ok - typed that in
Dec 28 19:50:52 <mikeyp> displays #
Dec 28 19:50:52 <ByronT> and then "ls vsftpd.log"
Dec 28 19:51:33 <mikeyp> ok that displays # as well now
Dec 28 19:52:00 <ByronT> okee.. type "vi vsftpd.log"
Dec 28 19:52:33 <ByronT> when the screen comes up, hit the esc button, hit : and then type wq and press enter
Dec 28 19:53:02 <ByronT> do the ls vsftpd.log again
Dec 28 19:53:52 <McSalty> bye everyone, thanks for help
Dec 28 19:54:04 <ByronT> hmmm... might need to do one other thing too...
Dec 28 19:54:15 <ByronT> let me know when you get back to the # prompt
Dec 28 19:54:45 <mikeyp> how do i get back to the #prompt?
Dec 28 19:55:10 <ByronT> you should have gotten back to the # prompt after hitting : and then wq and pressing enter
Dec 28 19:55:37 <ByronT> that :wq causes vi to write and quit the vi editor
Dec 28 19:56:46 <mikeyp> ok well that gives me a different error when trying to connect now:)
Dec 28 19:56:55 <ByronT> which is?
Dec 28 19:57:10 <mikeyp> Connecting to 81.155.77.238:21
Dec 28 19:57:18 <mikeyp> Connected to 81.155.77.238:21 i
Dec 28 19:57:26 <mikeyp> Error reading response from server.
Dec 28 19:57:32 <mikeyp> Connection closed by remote host.
Dec 28 19:59:29 <ByronT> back at that # prompt...  let's do one more thing "chmod 766 /opt/var/log"  (without the quotes)
Dec 28 20:00:30 <mikeyp> k done
Dec 28 20:01:05 <ByronT> and try connecting?
Dec 28 20:01:30 <mikeyp> same
Dec 28 20:01:43 <mikeyp> i could do with editing my conf file which seems to be read only as well
Dec 28 20:02:07 <mikeyp> which is held in \opt\etc\vsftpd.conf
Dec 28 20:02:43 <ByronT> then do a chmod 744 /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf
Dec 28 20:03:06 <ByronT> that will give root write access to vsftpd.conf
Dec 28 20:03:25 <ByronT> actually that should be 644
Dec 28 20:03:36 <mikeyp> how can i give anyone access to it?
Dec 28 20:03:47 <ByronT> 666
Dec 28 20:04:10 <ByronT> http://www.ss64.com/bash/chmod.html <- my cheat sheet....  ;)
Dec 28 20:11:23 <ByronT> mike, did you post to the nslu2-general group?
Dec 28 20:11:37 <ByronT> pq274304?
Dec 28 20:11:59 <mikeyp> yes
Dec 28 20:12:07 <mikeyp> i will update it tomorrow at work
Dec 28 20:12:26 <ByronT> you might have another problem if you're getting that when you try to use opkg
Dec 28 20:12:26 <mikeyp> hmm...i'm confused with this vsftp now
Dec 28 20:12:33 <ByronT> s/opkg/ipkg
Dec 28 20:12:33 <mikeyp> everything seems ok except that error
Dec 28 20:19:09 <ByronT> mikeyp, if you're getting an error when trying to use ipkg, then you need to fix that first....
Dec 28 20:20:07 <mikeyp> hm
Dec 28 20:20:32 <mikeyp> is there any easier ftp server than this one, the documentation is very thin on the ground
Dec 28 20:21:06 <ByronT> not sure about easier....  I only know about proftp and vsftp and I use neither
Dec 28 20:21:16 <ByronT> I use WinSCP with openssh installed on the slug
Dec 28 20:21:28 <mikeyp> hmm ok - might try this irc channel tomorrow night and see what anyone recommends
Dec 28 20:21:59 <ByronT> good luck
Dec 28 20:22:45 <chacko> mikeyp: I use openssh-sshd and openssh-sftp
Dec 28 20:22:56 <chacko> the latter is the ftp server
Dec 28 20:23:00 <mikeyp> they got good/easy documentation to them?
Dec 28 20:23:19 <mikeyp> i'm extremeley new to linux and need step by step really
Dec 28 20:23:48 <chacko> Well, my suggestion is first get a windows style ftp clilent on your win, do you have one?
Dec 28 20:24:24 <mikeyp> yes, ipswitch
Dec 28 20:25:15 <chacko> I do not know that one.  Does it allow you to see the remote files in FileBrowser type window?  Allow drag and drop files?
Dec 28 20:26:09 <mikeyp> yep
Dec 28 20:26:18 <mikeyp> it is very much like ftp rush or cute ftp
Dec 28 20:27:19 <chacko> dont know any of those, I use SSHSecureShell (free version of this comercial product).  But once you have a win style, half the battle is over :)
Dec 28 20:27:54 <chacko> now all I had to do was ipkg insall the above two pkgs --- just wait --- let me check
Dec 28 20:28:19 <mikeyp> k
Dec 28 20:29:38 <chacko> You see I am running both unSlung and SlugOS/BE, sometimes need to check...  On unSlung you only need the openssh; this is what I have there:
Dec 28 20:30:00 <chacko> ipkg list_installed | grep ssh
Dec 28 20:30:00 <chacko> openssh - 3.8p1-3 - 
Dec 28 20:30:30 <mikeyp> i've got openssh for using putty - i presume openssh-sshd is different?
Dec 28 20:30:36 <ByronT> nope...
Dec 28 20:31:47 <ByronT> openssh-sshd is just the server daemon of openssh... which was ipkg installed when you did ipkg install openssh
Dec 28 20:31:47 <chacko> on unslung, the openssh pkg above includes the ftp and sshd.  But under slugos/be, they are in multiple pkgs
Dec 28 20:32:02 <ByronT> mikey, if you're good using PuTTy for SSH, try using this:  http://winscp.net/eng/index.php as your "ftp client"
Dec 28 20:32:11 <chacko> So you do have a window (command line) server and ftp server all configured already :)
Dec 28 20:32:19 <ByronT> but you'll really be using scp...  not the same, but close enough
Dec 28 20:33:19 <chacko> I do not think I had to do anything special with the ftp/ssh client setup on the win side.
Dec 28 20:33:35 <mikeyp> hmm ok
Dec 28 20:33:38 <mikeyp> thanks for your help
Dec 28 20:33:45 <mikeyp> i'm going to bed now, im shattered from this
Dec 28 20:33:49 <mikeyp> see you all tomrorow
Dec 28 20:34:16 <chacko> where are you located?  I am in California, 1 hr after noon.
Dec 28 21:54:54 <condor> hello guys
Dec 28 21:56:10 <condor> im experiencing problems with thttpd on my unslung box, i followed http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheThttpdWebserver
Dec 28 21:56:10 <Reedy_Boy> hello
Dec 28 21:56:36 <condor> when i now try to start the webserver via /opt/sbin/mythttpd -C /opt/etc/mythttpd.conf nothing happens
Dec 28 21:56:42 <condor> ps aux | grep myhttpd also returns nothing
Dec 28 21:56:55 <condor> even no logfile output, or at least not where i search for
Dec 28 21:57:28 <condor> when i cd to /opt/sbin and type myhttpd the webserver starts somehow displaying the /opt/sbin directory 
Dec 28 21:58:17 <condor> any ideas?
Dec 28 22:01:55 <caplink811_log> what are the filerights on /opt/etc/mythttpd.conf?
Dec 28 22:02:32 <condor> 4 -rw-------    1 root     root
Dec 28 22:02:42 <condor> it needs more r flags?
Dec 28 22:03:07 <condor> i mean when i start the server from a root terminal it should be enough, shouldnt it?
Dec 28 22:04:33 <caplink811_log> maybe 644 is worth to try out
Dec 28 22:04:37 <condor> if i would just get an error stating whats wrong, but there is absolutely no output
Dec 28 22:06:03 <condor> i chmod'd it to 644 but still nothing
Dec 28 22:06:56 <condor> /opt/sbin/mythttpd works its just the -C /opt/etc/mythttpd.conf which bitches around
Dec 28 22:07:15 <caplink811_log> the port you like to use is different from the one which use the linksys thttpd?
Dec 28 22:07:23 <condor> yeah the normal one is running on 1024 now
Dec 28 22:07:36 <condor> which is actually working
Dec 28 22:07:48 <condor> mythttpd shall use port 80, but i even tried 9000 
Dec 28 22:08:38 <caplink811_log> maybe strace could show you which kind of problem appears
Dec 28 22:08:38 <condor> http://paste.debian.net/19159 this is the config
Dec 28 22:10:22 <caplink811_log> 2 things, /opt/share/www exists? and maybe you should insert a space behind user=root  #
Dec 28 22:11:54 <condor> dir exists
Dec 28 22:12:56 <condor> space added but didnt help
Dec 28 22:13:32 <condor> strace output is a real spam, i tried to "strace .... > notworking" the output, but its printing on the term, would you need parts of the output?
Dec 28 22:14:58 <condor> the last two screens of the strace output are now here http://paste.debian.net/19160
Dec 28 22:15:40 <eno> condor: try "strace ... 2>&1 | tee notworking.strace"
Dec 28 22:17:34 <condor> http://paste.debian.net/19161 ok the whole strace output, thanks eno 
Dec 28 22:17:46 <condor> its starting with many libraries it cant find
Dec 28 22:22:35 <caplink811_log> but, basically it works without a conf file, and it works too with the linksys conf file
Dec 28 22:22:45 <condor> yes
Dec 28 22:23:17 <condor> i tried to cp the config file to another dir (the same dir the myhttpd resides) but this didnt help either
Dec 28 22:23:33 <caplink811_log> what happens, if you copy /etc/thttpd.conf to /opt/etc/mythttpd.conf, and change only the listen port?
Dec 28 22:24:40 <condor> no success
Dec 28 22:24:52 <condor> uh
Dec 28 22:24:56 <condor> there is a success
Dec 28 22:25:37 <caplink811_log> which kind of?
Dec 28 22:26:42 <condor> its working
Dec 28 22:28:08 <caplink811_log> well, then you should change it step by step, everytime with a restart of the webserver
Dec 28 22:28:26 <caplink811_log> maybe that one statement is incorrect
Dec 28 22:31:24 <condor> The requested URL '%.80s' resolves to a file that is not world-readable. <- uh
Dec 28 22:34:15 <condor> so i now made a dir in /home/www/index.html now this one is actually loading
Dec 28 22:34:47 <condor> caplink811_log im now still using the .pid from the linksys thttpd, which i read is causing problems
Dec 28 22:34:55 <condor> can i simply copy this file?
Dec 28 22:36:25 <condor> hm no... i think ill create such a file now, what kind of number do i need to insert there?
Dec 28 22:37:26 <caplink811_log> no, the server create this file, each time he startup, with his process id in it, as i mentioned above, you should change each line in your conf file step by step, to meet your needs.
Dec 28 22:38:15 <condor> so i just need to create an emtpy file which will then be filled with the actually pid?
Dec 28 22:39:10 <caplink811_log> less then this, the server should creates that file, which is named in the conf file by himself
Dec 28 22:41:06 <condor> so, i think i found the problem
Dec 28 22:41:25 <condor> i had no dir /opt/var/run but i pointed the pid file to /opt/var/run/mythttpd.pi
Dec 28 22:42:04 <condor> yeah its working now
Dec 28 22:42:10 <condor> thanks for your time caplink811_log 
Dec 28 22:42:43 <caplink811_log> np
