**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Feb 24 02:59:58 2007 Feb 24 09:37:27 caplink811_log, the device hangs the second i plug any usb device in Feb 24 11:42:26 anyone around with experience of adding a usb audio card to the slug? I'm running unslung and dmesg seems to report the card is there but i get no audio from it using mpd or mp3blaster. no errors just silence. Feb 24 11:43:36 hmm Feb 24 11:43:45 have any sound modules installed? Feb 24 11:44:00 as in soundcore and audio (insmod) ? Feb 24 11:44:11 yeah Feb 24 11:44:15 audio 36868 0 Feb 24 11:44:15 soundcore 3528 0 [audio] Feb 24 11:44:23 yeah they report just like that :) Feb 24 11:44:36 are the numbers important Feb 24 11:45:37 audio 36868 1 Feb 24 11:45:37 soundcore 3528 3 [audio] Feb 24 11:47:10 in had to add the /dev/mixer & mixer1 using the settings from dmesg Feb 24 11:47:40 and dmesg appears to say it's loaded Feb 24 11:47:41 audio.c: v1.0.0:USB Audio Class driver Feb 24 11:48:10 i cant install alsa stuff on unslung though can i? Feb 24 14:50:23 how much disk space does the unslinging of unslung6.8beta require? Feb 24 14:50:58 well if you allow a full flash 128mb + 128mb swap Feb 24 14:51:03 depends on how you measure it -- in terms of actual data, <20MBytes Feb 24 14:52:06 Like warlord0 says, if you measure in terms of partition sizes, it requires 256MB of overhead + at least 10MBytes for the rootfs + package DB, and then whatever you need for your add-on software. Feb 24 14:52:10 so there should be no problem unslinged to a 512 MB flash drive and putting like ssh and lighttpd on it Feb 24 14:53:22 No problem in terms of disk space, at least :) Most folks don't swap on flash drives (see the wiki for ".ext3flash"), so watch that the httpd daemon doesn't run out of RAM. Feb 24 15:00:15 i've installed slugos on one of my slugs and now want to put lighttpd onto it. there is no ipkg for it so am i missing something obvious to get it installed? Feb 24 15:00:58 maybe you need to do an ipkg update Feb 24 15:01:15 did that and still not listed Feb 24 15:01:16 its: ipkg install lightttpd Feb 24 15:01:38 -1 t Feb 24 15:01:48 heh Feb 24 15:02:12 oh wait Feb 24 15:02:26 slugos, maybe there isn't lighttpd for that Feb 24 15:02:38 yeah that's what i'm saying :( Feb 24 15:02:51 that must suck Feb 24 15:03:13 I've only delt with unslung Feb 24 15:03:21 so I can't help Feb 24 15:03:27 i think i've now got the audio working but now cant get mpd on without php and a web server :( Feb 24 15:03:56 I'm sure there are other web servers Feb 24 15:04:23 * DrJ use to run apache on unslung...actually ran very well Feb 24 15:04:32 just apache listed and that's a bit too fat for my taste. then i need to install php which also isnt listed. so i'm missing something. Feb 24 15:04:57 :( Feb 24 15:04:59 do i need to isntall a c compiler and build them on the slug? Feb 24 15:05:07 ni Feb 24 15:07:41 Check the mailing list archives on yahoo -- chacko has been dealing with something like this IIRC. There are ways, but they come at a price. Also search for optware on slugos/openslug. Feb 24 15:07:46 (on the wiki) Feb 24 15:08:05 cool thanks Feb 24 15:08:08 or maybe you should just switch to unslung Feb 24 15:08:24 i was running unslung but couldnt get the audio running Feb 24 15:08:40 audio? Feb 24 15:08:48 usb audio Feb 24 15:09:03 hmm, like USB speakers? Feb 24 15:09:16 no a usb soundcard Feb 24 15:09:30 oh cool Feb 24 15:09:39 so you turned the slug into a media player? Feb 24 15:09:41 cost me all of $8 Feb 24 15:09:52 that's the plan Feb 24 15:09:53 hmm, ebay? Feb 24 15:09:56 that sounds cool Feb 24 15:09:56 yeah Feb 24 15:10:07 * DrJ has two unused slugs sitting around Feb 24 15:10:21 maybe I'll try setting that up on one of them Feb 24 15:10:29 * mwester notes that up until recently, there didn't seem to be any unslung kernel hackers who had audio usb hardware Feb 24 15:10:33 this is my dev slug so i'm poking it with anything to learn more Feb 24 15:10:50 I paid about $11 for mine on Ebay - what chipset is it? Feb 24 15:11:01 well i have no idea on the chipset Feb 24 15:11:05 how would i tell? Feb 24 15:11:14 honestly Feb 24 15:11:20 I've never heard of a USB sound card Feb 24 15:11:29 green transparent with "3d sound" on it Feb 24 15:11:48 i cant see any usage for usb sound beyond this little adventure :) Feb 24 15:12:09 When plugged in, the USB id will end up printed at the console on the slug (use dmesg or check /var/log/messages if you have no serial console) Feb 24 15:13:23 Mine is also translucent, on the back it says "Model 552 USB 3D sound" Feb 24 15:13:47 (and "made in China", but that kinda goes without saying for a $10 USB audio device) Feb 24 15:13:53 no model on mine. you have your operational with the slug? Feb 24 15:14:45 Here's the key identifying line from my dmesg: Feb 24 15:14:49 usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x4f3/0xa01) is not claimed by any active driver. Feb 24 15:15:08 usbcore: registered new driver snd-usb-audio Feb 24 15:15:14 from dmesg Feb 24 15:15:30 I haven't even tried getting it to work, but if its the same chipset as yours, I'll have a look at it and see if there's an easy way to get it running in the 2.4 kernel Feb 24 15:15:40 cool Feb 24 15:15:53 it all appeared to work but i got no sound from it. Feb 24 15:16:06 so i moved to slugos Feb 24 15:17:25 Ok, looks like you have the drivers loaded. If you install the package containing "lsusb", that command will identify the vend/prod info -- that would be helpful. When you get a chance, if you can just post that output here, I'll check back and see if its the same driver. If so, I'll take a look. Feb 24 15:17:56 sure will. thanks Feb 24 15:38:28 output from lsusb Feb 24 15:38:31 Bus 3 Device 1: ID 0000:0000 Feb 24 15:38:31 Bus 2 Device 2: ID 1130:f211 Tenx Technology, Inc.

USB-2.0 IDE Adapter Feb 24 15:38:31 Bus 1 Device 1: ID 0000:0000 Feb 24 15:40:06 whoa it lists pages more if i do a lsusb -v! Feb 24 15:45:47 That'll do - I expect it's the Tenx device. If it's the same driver, I'll mess about and see if I can make something work. Feb 24 15:48:27 http://www.hifihacks.com/?page_id=70 - exactly my usb soundcard. Feb 24 16:29:46 Hi. I just moved from 5.5 to 6.8. Everything whent smooth. I've installed OpenSHH, and can putty into it. Feb 24 16:30:02 I've created a new user, and updated the passwd file accordingly to the wiki Feb 24 16:30:34 so, i can putty into the server with my new user (as well as root). i've changed passwd to use /share/hdd/data/HDD_1_1_1 as home folder Feb 24 16:30:48 that's the folder where all the data of my NTFS Disk1 is stored. Feb 24 16:31:05 when i logon using Filezilla and SFTP i get directory listening for that folder, but i get an error when downlading files. Feb 24 16:31:13 i assume it has something to do with rights for this new user? Feb 24 16:42:39 hmm.. sftp not working as root neither Feb 24 16:54:09 got disconnected Feb 24 16:54:14 hmm. having SFTP issues :/( Feb 24 16:54:29 worked out of the box with openssh on 5.5 Feb 24 17:26:05 How bad would it be to use a usb stick for swap & /var/log on an nslu2? Feb 24 20:07:00 * mwester is listening to Queen playing on his USB audio device on Unslung... Feb 24 20:07:36 warlord0: madplay on Unslung is working ok for me (with what looks like the same audio device you have). Feb 24 20:08:14 Queen? :-) Feb 24 20:08:46 :-) Yep. Beats disco, no? Feb 24 20:09:43 * mwester wonders if he even has any disco in his mp3 collection... KC and the Sunshine Band, anyone? Feb 24 20:09:57 Well, of course. Anything beats disco! Feb 24 20:10:51 And country music. That's right down there with disco, too. Feb 24 20:14:07 Well, that was a short visit... ;) Feb 24 20:18:03 Yea, 1 second! ;-) Feb 24 20:51:04 mwester Feb 24 20:51:28 can you link me to an ebay ad that is a USB audio thing like you have Feb 24 20:51:35 so I know what exactly I am looking for Feb 24 20:52:03 http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-2-0-5-1-CH-3D-Notebook-Laptop-Sound-Card-New_W0QQitemZ160086889993QQihZ006QQcategoryZ74957QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item160086889993 Feb 24 20:52:06 like is that one? Feb 24 20:55:48 Looks similar. Feb 24 20:56:02 so that will work? Feb 24 20:56:19 I would expect so, but I'm not completely sure. Feb 24 20:56:21 I've just never heard of a usb sound card Feb 24 20:56:28 what is the one you have? Feb 24 20:57:02 I can't find it on eBay; it's the same sort of card, though. Feb 24 20:57:32 I'd need a USB port though Feb 24 20:57:41 *USB hub Feb 24 20:57:49 got a hd and printer hooked up atm Feb 24 20:58:02 Yes. Many of them are USB 1.1 only, and they do not work well at all on a USB 2.0 hub. Feb 24 20:58:26 In general, you should expect that the audio will only work if directly plugged into the NSLU2 Feb 24 20:59:34 # USB 2.0 to Audio Adapter Feb 24 20:59:34 General Features: Feb 24 20:59:34 # Plug and Play Feb 24 20:59:34 # USB 2.0 Feb 24 20:59:34 # Stereo 5.1-channel sound effects Feb 24 20:59:48 its USB 2.0 Feb 24 21:01:33 so what is the software that has to be installed Feb 24 21:01:38 is there a wiki page for this? Feb 24 21:02:14 hmm. Feb 24 21:02:46 audio module and soundcore should be a fine Feb 24 21:03:42 you would have to have something though that tells the slug to play the music Feb 24 21:03:57 i use madplay Feb 24 21:04:02 k Feb 24 21:05:42 so if this is a USB 2.0 device, I should be able to use it with a hub? Feb 24 21:10:20 but nslug has hidden usb-ports... Feb 24 21:12:07 yea, but you can't use them without soldering or whatnot Feb 24 21:14:43 * caplink811_log 14listen to KC And The Sunshine Band - Play That Funky Music White Boy - 5m 3s long 15 Feb 24 21:16:20 * mwester turns up the volume on "Loreena McKennitt - Incantation" to drown out KC Feb 24 21:34:10 mika_ :) Feb 24 21:57:23 capbot: i am back online Feb 24 22:00:43 Anyone familiar with c# regex functions/ Feb 24 22:07:22 * caplink811_log thinks, that mrs. mckennitt is a little bit too smart on a saturday evening, so Feb 24 22:07:25 * caplink811_log 14listen to The Pogues - If I should fall from grace with god - 2m 19s long 15 Feb 24 22:07:41 * caplink811_log mentioned that this is irish too ;) Feb 25 02:47:13 ANyone here use Debian NSLU2? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Feb 25 02:59:58 2007
