Jan 05 04:35:11 <Tickey> Hello
Jan 05 04:37:05 <Tickey> I tryed to  ipkg update but I get error messages such as  Host name lookup failure, An error ocurred, return value: 3 and  Command failed with return value 1
Jan 05 04:57:19 <mwester> Tickey: you probably don't have a DNS server set in your configuration screens for the NSLU2
Jan 05 05:59:46 <SyNko> hi there
Jan 05 10:02:16 <sto> hi
Jan 05 10:02:42 <sto> i cant put on my nslu the original firmware after i unslung it
Jan 05 11:33:15 <sto> hi
Jan 05 11:33:44 <sto> can somebody help me?!
Jan 05 11:34:24 <stojan> hi
Jan 05 12:03:48 <NSLU2-IRC> hi guys any 1 got a few mins for a couple of noobie questions ?
Jan 05 12:05:47 <NSLU2-IRC> im using V2.3R29-uNSLUng-5.5-beta and i have two drives attached a 40gb on usb1 and a250gb on usb2 , the 40 gb shows Disk 1: Ready, 38405MB (5% Free) and werks fine.
Jan 05 12:06:15 <NSLU2-IRC> however the usb2 250gb drive shows Disk 2/Flash: Ready, 0MB (0% Free)  , but still works fine.
Jan 05 12:06:23 <NSLU2-IRC> is this a bug in this firmware version?
Jan 05 12:07:46 <Picman12c508> also is the new ver 6 slug more reliable or am i better of staying with 5.5 ?
Jan 05 13:11:59 <stojan> hi all
Jan 05 13:25:57 <stojan> i need some help
Jan 05 13:27:06 <stojan> i have the nslu2 and a harddisk
Jan 05 13:27:49 <stojan> i format the disk on windows into EXT3 and put it on the NAS but i want to format and it says NOT FORMATTED
Jan 05 13:28:25 <stojan> i tried it with EXT3,NTFS,FAT32, totally erased..:( nothin works
Jan 05 13:29:03 <stojan> i but on an old firmware  V2.3R25  and still not workin
Jan 05 13:38:20 <unlink> you formatted to ext3 under windows?
Jan 05 13:39:35 <stojan> yea with partition magic
Jan 05 13:40:35 <unlink> why not reformat it with the nslu2?
Jan 05 13:41:19 <stojan> but what should i do on the HDD before puttin it on the nslu?
Jan 05 13:41:22 <stojan> NTFS?
Jan 05 13:41:29 <unlink> why?
Jan 05 13:41:43 <stojan> what why
Jan 05 13:41:51 <unlink> why do anything?
Jan 05 13:41:54 <stojan> cuz its a extern HDD and i used it in my server
Jan 05 13:41:59 <stojan> and it was winXP on it
Jan 05 13:42:24 <stojan> but wait now, the formatting takes a pretty long time so i think it will work
Jan 05 13:42:30 <unlink> if you format it, you'll lose all your data
Jan 05 13:43:15 <stojan> i dont care :P
Jan 05 13:43:41 <unlink> ok, so why not just format it from the slug?
Jan 05 13:43:44 <stojan> i wasnt anythin on it
Jan 05 13:43:54 <stojan> i tried evrythin!
Jan 05 13:44:26 <stojan> with old firmaware
Jan 05 13:44:32 <stojan> with unslug 6.8beta
Jan 05 13:44:43 <stojan> now again the new firmware
Jan 05 13:44:56 <stojan> and now its formatting a long time
Jan 05 13:53:53 <stojan> shit nah
Jan 05 13:54:22 <stojan> cant connect now to the NAS

Jan 05 15:59:37 <HoStyle> evening in Italy
Jan 05 15:59:55 <Naib> evening then ;)
Jan 05 16:00:05 <HoStyle> k nice
Jan 05 16:00:24 <HoStyle> how are your slugg? is it runnin good?
Jan 05 16:00:30 <HoStyle> im a newbie of it
Jan 05 16:00:50 <Naib> my slug is running very nice (well over a year) just itching for Etch to go stable so I can try it ou
Jan 05 16:01:00 <Naib> OpenSLug very thin on packages
Jan 05 16:02:31 <HoStyle> but big in other secret place ;)
Jan 05 16:03:03 <HoStyle> where the sun isnt shining, i mean of course
Jan 05 16:03:18 <HoStyle> what distro do you use?
Jan 05 16:03:46 <HoStyle> i choose openS for a kind of ethic reasons
Jan 05 16:04:07 <HoStyle> like the code more clean (theory)
Jan 05 16:04:32 <HoStyle> more familiar to me how S.O.
Jan 05 16:05:30 <Naib> ?
Jan 05 16:08:34 <HoStyle> uh?
Jan 05 16:08:34 <HoStyle> Dont you understand my bad english?
Jan 05 17:50:44 <mwester> Tickey: did you get ipkg working yet?
Jan 05 17:51:25 <Tickey> no yet 
Jan 05 17:51:34 <Tickey> I have a proble with dns
Jan 05 17:51:58 <Tickey> hold on 5 min
Jan 05 17:56:31 <Tickey> ok mwester 
Jan 05 17:57:26 <Tickey> when I try to do ipkg update I get Host name look and also  Command failed with return value 1
Jan 05 17:58:44 <Tickey> I have the dns (under Lan settings) the same as the router ip address
Jan 05 17:58:54 <Tickey> is that right?
Jan 05 17:59:17 <mwester> Depends on the router.  Easy way is to see what the DNS settings are on the other computers on your network, and use those addresses.
Jan 05 18:00:45 <mwester> bbiab
Jan 05 18:08:04 <Tickey> mwester the router has the internal ip address 192.168.1.1 the computer 192.168.1.10 and the nslu2 192.168.1.100
Jan 05 18:10:54 <Tickey> the router is a netgear wgt624v3
Jan 05 18:11:01 <mwester> Tickey: yes, but that is not the DNS address.  The DNS server is a server one the internet that translates "abc.efg.com" to an ip address.  You ISP assigns one to you that you must use.  If you have not assigned that yourself, then the assignment is made via DHCP.  IF you do not know what it is, then you can find out by going to the computer you are now on, checking its network settings, to find out the DNS settings.
Jan 05 18:12:00 <mwester> If you are on Windows, open a cmd prompt, and use the "ipconfig" command to find the ip address of the assigned dns server - use that on your NSLU2 as well, since it too must be able to translate host names to IPs.
Jan 05 18:12:17 * mwester has to run off for a while - back later!
Jan 05 18:12:26 <Tickey> mwester do I have to use Port Forwarding / Port Triggering?
Jan 05 18:12:43 <ByronT> Tickey, no
Jan 05 18:12:51 <HoStyle> no
Jan 05 18:13:11 <ByronT> only time you might use that is if you want to access ssh on slug via outside network
Jan 05 18:13:41 <HoStyle> right^^
Jan 05 18:14:49 <ByronT> (or anyother network type service running on the slug)
