**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 02 02:59:57 2007 Jan 02 08:55:17 Morning all Jan 02 09:34:38 Hallo Jan 02 09:36:00 Does anyone know if the built in nslu2 ftpd supports FTP to FTP transfer? - I can't get it to work as standard - can i edit anything to get it to work or will it never support it? Jan 02 10:57:14 anyone? Jan 02 10:57:52 hello Jan 02 10:58:15 I missed your question Jan 02 11:00:05 mich: you mean fxp? Jan 02 11:00:15 Does anyone know if the built in nslu2 ftpd supports FTP to FTP transfer? - I can't get it to work as standard - can i edit anything to get it to work or will it never support it? Jan 02 11:00:17 yes - fxp Jan 02 11:00:36 hm, and by built-in you mean linksys firmware? Jan 02 11:00:59 probably not is the answer Jan 02 11:01:03 yes - the standard one Jan 02 11:01:15 i was wondering if there was any settings that could be tweaked to allow it Jan 02 11:02:35 can you run ftpd -v or something similar to find out what application we're dealing with Jan 02 11:03:47 i'm at work at the moment so can't check that but will later Jan 02 11:03:57 could anyone else try it? Jan 02 11:23:30 mich: I'm just wondering..why not install unslung firmware? Jan 02 11:23:47 retains same functionality as the original one Jan 02 11:24:00 but offers lots more features Jan 02 11:30:42 i've got unslung on...just using standard ftp at the moment on it though Jan 02 11:57:07 why not vsftpd? Jan 02 11:58:38 i tried when i was not that good with linux startup scripts last week and struggled.. Jan 02 11:58:53 but i've done some sucesful ones this week so i might try again now i know more Jan 02 11:58:55 do you use it? Jan 02 11:59:07 yes Jan 02 11:59:11 http://www.vsftpdrocks.org/faq/ Jan 02 13:42:12 this may be a dumb question but when I type in \\serverip\ to access it, it asks for a login and password, when I try to login from my windows computer it always appends the machine name to the login name, like computername\username and fails to login Jan 02 13:42:18 does anyone know how I can fix that? Jan 02 19:16:40 hi Jan 02 19:17:48 morning :) Jan 02 19:18:18 i have some problems with my nslu2 Jan 02 19:18:24 dont we all ;) Jan 02 19:18:25 i broken it :P Jan 02 19:18:38 what've you done?

Jan 02 19:19:19 6.8 or smthng Jan 02 19:19:20 have you a diversion script for the telnet? Jan 02 19:19:36 without and with my unslinge disk Jan 02 19:19:36 caplink811_log: I've put what we went through last night on: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/HomePage Jan 02 19:19:48 thx Reedy_Boy Jan 02 19:19:55 it may want to go onto its own page Jan 02 19:20:11 * ByronT stabs telnet to death... can you say "I want to be pwned via telnet?" Jan 02 19:20:36 ByronT, what are you talking about?? Telnet > everything Jan 02 19:20:38 ;) Jan 02 19:20:44 i've also put a fix for a Segmentation Fault that i got this morning doing apt-get update/upgrade Jan 02 19:21:08 back in 3 minutes Jan 02 19:21:19 cya in a few Jan 02 19:22:14 braveheart: if you have unslung it to a usb drive/hard drive, you need to put a diversion script on for telnet Jan 02 19:22:15 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/DiversionScripts Jan 02 19:22:29 You are best ipkg update, ipkg upgrade first Jan 02 19:22:34 and put a text editor on Jan 02 19:22:53 if its just gone after a restart, there is a manage telnet link on the web interface Jan 02 19:22:54 brb Jan 02 19:22:54 hehe yea couldnt install smthng with ipkg Jan 02 19:23:14 you got gateway/dns setup in web interface? Jan 02 19:23:25 both internet works Jan 02 19:23:29 can I suggest using anything over telnet? Jan 02 19:23:31 can update but cant install Jan 02 19:23:37 such as openssh or dropbear Jan 02 19:23:55 couldnt install one of them Jan 02 19:24:01 additionally with openssh, you can use a SCP client as a FTP like client Jan 02 19:24:21 tried nano, busybox and so on Jan 02 19:24:32 did anything install? Jan 02 19:24:49 everytime error and after restar i couldnt log in again Jan 02 19:24:57 sounds like you have something else as a problem Jan 02 19:25:11 reflash to stock? Jan 02 19:25:23 I would consider it Jan 02 19:25:48 reflash to stock (save anything you need to save) Jan 02 19:26:15 can i use the usb flash again ater reflashing it to unslung?? Jan 02 19:26:32 reflash to unslung, format hd with unslung, reboot (without H/D), unsling again Jan 02 19:27:10 ok :( dam redboot :P Jan 02 19:27:49 serial has got to be the nicest h/w mod - next to de-underclocking Jan 02 19:31:15 morning, docu guy, and a late happy new year :) Jan 02 19:31:23 thankee Jan 02 19:31:29 happy new year to you too Jan 02 19:36:27 this diversions scripts is a must have :) forgot to do it would be nicer to have a web interface prebuild Jan 02 19:37:37 no, there are other possibilies... Jan 02 19:42:06 most people tend not to use telnet.. (i really need to put ssh on my unslung one) Jan 02 19:42:23 so in more cases, people would then need a pointless script to stop telnet Jan 02 19:46:01 caplink811_log - do you think its worth putting those debian bits on their own pages? Jan 02 20:12:18 whats with the different names caplink and stuff? Jan 02 20:14:25 this is my real nick, the _log is miau Jan 02 20:14:47 ah, and is capbot yours?

Jan 02 20:34:39 how can I do a fsck on my nslu2 ? Jan 02 20:36:25 I can't remount the root partition readonly Jan 02 20:36:28 e2fsck /dev/whatever Jan 02 20:36:33 mial: do you have a serial console? Jan 02 20:36:42 no Jan 02 20:36:46 mh Jan 02 20:36:57 what about plugging the hard disk on a another compurer ? Jan 02 20:37:40 s/a another compurer/another computer/ Jan 02 20:37:41 mial meant: what about plugging the hard disk on another computer ? Jan 02 20:37:42 mial, a good idea, if you have a linux station, or are able to use knoppix, or another distribution live cd Jan 02 20:38:37 ok Jan 02 20:39:14 * caplink811 don't trust the linksys fsck.ext3, and a x86 is much faster (depends on fs size) Jan 02 20:40:16 I run debian on my slug Jan 02 20:40:23 apt is really powerful Jan 02 20:40:28 caplink811, yeah - true, it fails out with "Out of Memory" quite a bit Jan 02 20:40:56 ByronT, yes, my expiriences are nearly equal Jan 02 20:41:15 mial, any knoppix distro and the e2fsck should be sufficient - e2fsck /dev/sda Jan 02 20:41:37 I had to "try" to resurrect a friend's dead slug drive.... Jan 02 20:41:51 lots of stuff placed in /lost+found .... Jan 02 20:42:04 I don't need any livecd, I've only linux stations in my house Jan 02 20:42:15 haven't find a logfile, but on stderr: ERROR: Openembedded's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration...

Jan 02 20:48:18 ? Jan 02 20:48:37 the source is not public Jan 02 20:48:47 ah, thats what you mean Jan 02 20:48:52 yeah Jan 02 20:49:16 btw, sorry for my english, I'm swiss, and I'm only 14 years old Jan 02 20:49:17 hm Jan 02 20:49:26 maybe I already said that here Jan 02 20:49:29 lol, you're english is pretty good Jan 02 20:50:37 you can barely notice - theres english people who speak worse than you Jan 02 20:51:13 *there are Jan 02 21:01:26 hmm... the debian slug is reporting "Segmentation fault Jan 02 21:01:26 " Jan 02 21:01:30 on apt-get upgrade Jan 02 21:01:49 did you do a "apt-get update" before ? Jan 02 21:02:03 and were you running apt as root ? Jan 02 21:02:17 yes and yes Jan 02 21:02:35 try again Jan 02 21:02:42 or do a dist-upgrade before Jan 02 21:02:59 what where apt doing before segfault ? Jan 02 21:03:14 can you paste the last 3 lines before segfault ? Jan 02 21:03:27 Reading package lists... Done Jan 02 21:03:27 Building dependency tree... Done Jan 02 21:03:27 Correcting dependencies... failed. Jan 02 21:03:27 The following packages have unmet dependencies: Jan 02 21:03:27 Segmentation fault Jan 02 21:03:33 for apt-get upgrade Jan 02 21:03:38 mh ok Jan 02 21:03:50 do a dist-upgrade Jan 02 21:04:02 and use aptitude instead of apt Jan 02 21:04:13 whY? Jan 02 21:04:21 aptitude rules :P Jan 02 21:04:31 lol Jan 02 21:04:33 it's a little bit slower, but it handles dependencies better Jan 02 21:05:09 apt-get update Jan 02 21:05:11 Fetched 2B in 14s (0B/s) Jan 02 21:05:15 i've used it too everytime i had to change/add/remove software with debian systems Jan 02 21:05:27 it was downloadng a few hundred kb before Jan 02 21:05:32 does it download all files, or just changed? Jan 02 21:05:51 and, for example, if you install a package xyz who needs the libabc and libdef and a lot of other libs, and later you'd like to remove xyz, aptitude will remove all the libs who were installed for xyz if they're not needed by other packages Jan 02 21:06:14 Reedy_Boy: if there's no change, it download just some headers Jan 02 21:06:26 thats what i was wondering Jan 02 21:08:04 I must go Jan 02 21:08:12 goodbye Jan 02 21:08:13 bye Jan 02 21:08:15 thanks Jan 02 21:08:35 np Jan 02 21:08:40 have to see how far i get Jan 02 21:09:12 is it a bug or a feature?: if I login to openslug with a normal user then 'su' user variable remains the normal user, and so sbin dirs not in path according to profile Jan 02 21:09:51 you have to do 'su -' Jan 02 21:10:01 do simulate a complete login Jan 02 21:10:13 s/do/to/ Jan 02 21:10:13 mial meant: to simulate a complete login Jan 02 21:10:34 apt-get dist-upgrade "0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Jan 02 21:10:35 " Jan 02 21:10:45 but didnt sort it... Jan 02 21:10:45 will try aptitued Jan 02 21:10:57 *aptitude Jan 02 21:11:01 in this case aptitude won't change anything Jan 02 21:11:10 oh, ok Jan 02 21:11:12 i wont then Jan 02 21:11:23 if there's nothing to dist-upgrade, aptitude won't dist-upgrade anything ;) Jan 02 21:11:35 but try apt-get -f install Jan 02 21:11:47 that just reports segmentation error too Jan 02 21:11:59 huh Jan 02 21:12:09 that's really strange Jan 02 21:12:12 Correcting dependencies... failed. Jan 02 21:12:26 but I really have to go, before my mother goes mad ;) Jan 02 21:12:33 hah, know what you mean Jan 02 21:12:35 bye! Jan 02 21:12:44 thx mial Jan 02 21:12:48 bye Jan 02 21:15:24 ok working again Jan 02 21:15:37 did a ipgk update and upgrade Jan 02 21:15:43 that all worked? Jan 02 21:15:47 yeah Jan 02 21:15:55 good good Jan 02 21:15:56 now lets try a ipkg install openssh Jan 02 21:15:59 installed anything else? Jan 02 21:16:34 is installing unslung-feeds needed now...? i cant remember Jan 02 21:16:58 for what that?? nothing in readme or newb doc Jan 02 21:17:12 but its generating keys thats good :D Jan 02 21:17:18 lol, coolio Jan 02 21:17:26 its something i was told to do a while back Jan 02 21:17:58 first ill install nano and openssh Jan 02 21:18:14 yeah, a text editor = good idea Jan 02 21:18:17 :P Jan 02 21:18:20 braveheart, you're from the german language part of the suisse ? Jan 02 21:18:25 yes Jan 02 21:18:34 en richtige schwiitzer Jan 02 21:18:41 k, there a nice link, one moment pls Jan 02 21:18:49 is a .. Jan 02 21:18:51 i dont know why, but to run nano on my unslung, i always have to export TERM='linux' Jan 02 21:19:42 OE said: Please install the texi2html binary Jan 02 21:19:49 what's this? Jan 02 21:20:03 http://wiki.nslu2-info.de/pmwiki.php/HowTo/TelnetActivWithoutInetd is much easier then fiddling around with divertion scripts Jan 02 21:20:32 he's going for ssh i think Jan 02 21:20:52 sure i ike ssh :) and want a secure remote login for later Jan 02 21:21:39 which is better choice, but everything with xinetd(that is the main point of that link above) makes things (ftp, vsftpd, proftpd...) easier Jan 02 21:22:21 because, using xinetd avoid divertion scripts (rc.xinetd) Jan 02 21:23:42 xinetd is running on port?? Jan 02 21:24:21 24 Jan 02 21:24:46 xinetd is the superdaemon, which starts applications/other daemons, when someone wants to connect a specified port (e.g. port 21 -> ftpd) Jan 02 21:25:06 ok... Jan 02 21:25:11 <-linux newb Jan 02 21:25:18 port means service (en detail) Jan 02 21:25:28 not the only one :P Jan 02 21:25:35 if u can click the worlds ok for me :D Jan 02 21:26:04 vsftpd oder proftpd ?? which one should i use Jan 02 21:26:05 lol Jan 02 21:26:29 depends on your personal preferences Jan 02 21:27:12 as does most things Jan 02 21:27:41 ok if i hate redhat and suse i shouldnt use vsftpd?? :P Jan 02 21:27:45 rm -rf /var/cache/apt/*.bin , restart, apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, seems to have fixed it Jan 02 21:29:30 braveheart, dunno, but if you want to know, what happens at each time on your server, then i know, there is a tool for a proftpd server, which could show you that... for vsftpd, there isn't that kind of tool, that is what i meant with personal preferences Jan 02 21:30:17 i like it fast and easy :P Jan 02 21:30:28 but i think both arent Jan 02 21:32:21 vsftpd is faster/smaller (mem footprint) as proftpd Jan 02 21:38:44 dos xinetd automatically replace inetd?? Jan 02 21:38:49 *does Jan 02 21:39:52 yes Jan 02 21:43:06 * mwester mutters something about "and xinetd almost always works, too" Jan 02 21:44:06 almost always :P Jan 02 21:44:29 braveheart: xinetd works great for all TCP-based apps, so it's fine for FTP and most things. The tftpd package is known to break, however. Jan 02 21:49:35 should i use the preconfigured ftp-sensor from xinetd?? its a big diffrence between this sensor and the config wiki.nslu2-info.de is giving Jan 02 21:51:18 The ftp-sensor, IIRC, is a dummy config. You need to create a config file very specific to the needs of your ftp server (path to the executable and the command-line flags in particular). Jan 02 22:02:47 shouldnt i install inetdutils before doing smthng with ftp?? Jan 02 22:03:05 *inetutils Jan 02 22:04:06 why? Jan 02 22:04:21 dont know read it on wiki Jan 02 22:07:21 times ago, there was a telnetd in inetutils, but since there is a xinetd package, it isn't anymore, so it maybe, that the wiki page is outdated Jan 02 22:08:10 :D ok so xinetd and a *ftpd is enough with sum configs to do Jan 02 22:09:04 if you use sshd instead of /usr/sbin/telnetd, yes Jan 02 22:09:30 dam telnet sure i use ssh Jan 02 22:09:59 ;) Jan 02 22:17:30 X on nslu2?? i see some packages for X with ipkg list Jan 02 22:26:30 I dunno about the nslu2, specifically, but there other boxes that use the same package feed (what started out as very NSLU2-specific has grown to encompass a number of devices -- In addition to Unslung, I'm responsible for the D-Link DSM-G600 hardware as a platform) Jan 02 22:28:29 (which is not to say that I ported anything to it; most of the work was done by the kernel experts that did the OpenSlug work in the first place) Jan 02 22:53:10 dam upnp taking alot of space Jan 02 23:03:41 shut it down, dunno, who need it Jan 02 23:04:29 on vista a window will pop up and show u got new device in network :P Jan 02 23:05:50 :D Jan 02 23:14:42 ufsd is working stable in 6.8b?? Jan 02 23:49:01 braveheart: no. but no worse than in the native linksys firmware. Which is to say that if you work it hard, it will lock up or crash the slug. Jan 02 23:52:20 Bad line in config file /opt/etc/vsftpd.conf... if i execute /etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd with unslung Jan 02 23:55:52 bb good night Jan 03 00:21:46 anybody can help me to build a current kernel (2.6.18-3-ixp4xx) for debian on NSLU2? Jan 03 00:22:43 i try http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/BuildImage but have problems with configuration and/or cross-build **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jan 03 02:59:58 2007
