**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 03 02:59:59 2007 Mar 03 07:08:42 hi Mar 03 07:11:39 anyone could help me to configure a nslu with xinetd? I have flashed it yesterday with unslung 6.8 and unsling to port 2 on flash with success, but now I'm stuck Mar 03 07:32:34 anyone could help me to configure a nslu with xinetd? I have flashed it yesterday with unslung 6.8 and unsling to port 2 on flash with success, but now I'm stuck Mar 03 08:31:04 <[FireFly]> Sinclair73de: what should I do to see if I have those dma errors on my 128MByte NSLU? Mar 03 10:38:35 hi Mar 03 10:39:15 anyone could help me to configure a nslu with xinetd? I have flashed it yesterday with unslung 6.8 and unsling to port 2 on flash with success, but now I'm stuck Mar 03 10:39:43 I don't know how to edit a conf file via telnet... Mar 03 10:41:45 You need a text editor or something on it Mar 03 10:41:57 ipkg update, ipkg upgrade, ipkg install nano Mar 03 10:42:03 export TERM='linux' Mar 03 10:42:24 /opt/bin/nano -w pathtofile Mar 03 10:43:27 the ipkg commands are to be run on seperate lines Mar 03 10:43:45 aha, so there is no editor inside in the begining... but maybe there is another way: to dload the file, edit it, and upload back... is possible ? Mar 03 10:44:22 No editor there as default Mar 03 10:44:30 Not on unslung anyway Mar 03 10:44:57 Are you using a linux or a windows machine? Mar 03 10:45:47 windows, I don't know much about linux, I've played with fedora and mandrake, but only in graphical interface so... Mar 03 10:46:24 You can visit the 'admin' share of the slug Mar 03 10:46:39 and edit files, but i dont think that works too well - ie the changes aint always saved Mar 03 10:47:10 If your using a decent telnet client, ie putty Mar 03 10:47:17 doing it in shell isnt too difficult Mar 03 10:47:37 its a case of running the -w Mar 03 10:47:48 making your edits, pressing ctrl+o then hitting enter Mar 03 10:47:52 then ctrl+x Mar 03 10:49:00 ok, so first I'll go to use putty (instead of hyperterminal) Mar 03 10:49:11 yeah, definately Mar 03 10:49:23 hyperterminal just makes life much more difficult Mar 03 10:49:35 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Mar 03 10:50:12 10x for the link, and help, I'll try it now... Mar 03 10:54:47 its just having a basic idea of what you are doing Mar 03 10:54:54 well, I need a method to edit the conf file without internet conection, ie without ipkg install, because I've installed xinetd and it only allows 192.168.1.0/24 Mar 03 10:55:20 so at first I need to modify xinetd.conf Mar 03 10:55:34 to gain internet access back :) Mar 03 10:56:04 I'm using putty now :) Mar 03 10:56:04 Ahh Mar 03 10:56:08 Errm Mar 03 10:56:18 \\slugname\admin Mar 03 10:56:27 sorry Mar 03 10:56:38 \\slugname\admin then the number of the drive you unslung 2 Mar 03 10:56:41 *to Mar 03 10:57:40 I think you can add packages manually otherwise.... Mar 03 10:57:45 but what user/pass is needed to access 'admin' share? it seems that is not user:admin pass:admin... as in the web interface Mar 03 10:58:43 mine is... Mar 03 10:58:44 :/ Mar 03 10:58:54 hmmm Mar 03 11:00:55 ok I'm in ! don't know why it didn't work at first Mar 03 11:01:11 so I'll edit in the share... Mar 03 11:02:05 yeah Mar 03 11:02:09 try editing it in the share Mar 03 11:02:19 and then on telnet, try cat /pathtofile Mar 03 11:02:23 to check the file and see if its changed Mar 03 11:03:35 sh*t, is writeprotected, how to deal with this in linux/telnet ? Mar 03 11:04:26 hmm Mar 03 11:04:39 well Mar 03 11:04:47 chmod +w filepath Mar 03 11:04:49 could work Mar 03 11:05:37 that gives write permission on the file Mar 03 11:05:42 then, when your done, change it back Mar 03 11:06:05 sorry, I really don't know the linux commands, I'm sure it's obvious for those who wrote the tutorials for unslung, but not for beginners in linux :( Mar 03 11:06:22 Im a windows guy through and through Mar 03 11:06:27 so chmod +w...10x Mar 03 11:06:39 My 2 NSLU2's (and my router) are my only linux devices Mar 03 11:06:45 :) Mar 03 11:07:23 chmod is used to change rights on the file, +w is adding the write permssion Mar 03 11:08:02 I think, to remove the +w you use -w when your done... Mar 03 11:11:04 done Mar 03 11:11:12 10x a lot Mar 03 11:11:44 you got the file changed? Mar 03 11:11:47 I've done all this because nslu2 does not know ftp passv mode Mar 03 11:11:50 yes Mar 03 11:11:54 lol Mar 03 11:12:05 well, run ipkg update, ipkg upgrade, ipkg update Mar 03 11:12:10 and then ipkg install nano Mar 03 11:12:14 then you've got a text editor on it Mar 03 11:12:26 yep I'll do it Mar 03 11:12:45 aslong as your default gateway, and DNS servers are set Mar 03 11:12:47 should work fine Mar 03 11:13:09 all this only to get a ftp behind the firewall/nat machine... Mar 03 11:13:15 lol Mar 03 11:14:03 10x a lot, I'll make the next steps now Mar 03 11:14:15 Righto, im going out to get some newspapers Mar 03 11:14:17 back in a bit Mar 03 11:14:22 10x Mar 03 11:34:25 Guys, what option to choose: proftpd or vsftpd ? I need the simplest ftp server but with passv mode capability, and the easiest configuration... Mar 03 11:34:59 I'll use it behind a firewall/nat machine Mar 03 12:16:27 nick61: Any luck? Mar 03 13:10:47 Guys, what option to choose: proftpd or vsftpd ? I need the simplest ftp server but with passv mode capability, and the easiest configuration... Mar 03 15:01:58 hi Mar 03 15:02:39 may I have some help with vsftpd installation please ? Mar 03 15:23:43 ? Mar 03 15:24:06 Whats the problem? Mar 03 15:34:27 hey, is there an optware package i can install that will give me the 'locate' command?? Mar 03 15:34:34 (and updatedb obviously) Mar 03 15:34:45 for i'm on unslung 6.8 Mar 03 15:39:50 I thought that there was a broken version in 5.x. Mar 03 15:40:20 * mwester seems to recall that locate and updatedb are already installed in /opt/bin on Unslung 6.8 Mar 03 15:46:13 iwo: I am working on it. Mar 03 15:46:27 thanks :) Mar 03 15:47:10 is there any other way to find files? I normally use: find / | grep xxx Mar 03 15:47:19 but this is pretty inefficient :) Mar 03 15:47:58 find / -name xxx Mar 03 15:48:17 In that case you don't need the grep. Mar 03 15:48:29 But still it needs to search the complete disk. Mar 03 15:49:08 thanks Mar 03 15:49:18 A other way is to use cron to run "find / -type f >/tmp/filelist" and then use grep xxx /tmp/filelist Mar 03 15:49:50 But i hope to get mlocate working within a hour. Mar 03 15:50:10 * mwester boots up a virgin Unslung 6.8 slug Mar 03 15:50:29 * mwester finds that he was mistaken; locate and updatedb are *NOT* in /opt/bin, they are in /usr/bin Mar 03 15:52:13 They're in the findutils package, which is installed into the base firmware on Unslung 6.8 (removed in future versions, 'cause there's really no need to use precious flash space for that) Mar 03 15:52:44 I have them in "/initrd/usr/bin/" but not in "/usr/bin". Mar 03 15:53:12 But that version doesn't work. Mar 03 15:53:31 It didn't work in unslung 5.x ans still it doesn't seem to work. Mar 03 15:53:34 same here (i have them in "/initrd/usr/bin/" but not in "/usr/bin") Mar 03 15:53:54 "/initrd" is the internal flash. Mar 03 15:54:06 But don't bother about it. Mar 03 15:54:19 Ah, you are unslung then. They did not get copied to the external disk during the unsling process? Strange. Mar 03 15:54:22 That version doesn't work. Mar 03 15:54:41 # /initrd/usr/bin/updatedb Mar 03 15:54:41 /initrd/usr/bin/updatedb: /usr/bin/find: No such file or directory Mar 03 15:54:41 sort: invalid option -- f Mar 03 15:54:41 BusyBox v1.00 (2006.04.11-01:22+0000) multi-call binary Mar 03 15:54:41 Usage: sort [-n] [FILE]... Mar 03 15:54:41 Sorts lines of text in the specified files Mar 03 15:54:43 Options: Mar 03 15:54:45 -n sort numerics Mar 03 15:54:47 /initrd/usr/bin/updatedb: /usr/libexec/frcode: No such file or directory Mar 03 15:54:49 updatedb: new database would be empty Mar 03 15:55:35 Hmm... good thing I removed it in the newer versions. I wonder if optware is building a version of findutils that works. Mar 03 16:02:16 optware findutils only installs find and xargs! Mar 03 16:04:51 I have a package "mlocate-0.15-ipk" Mar 03 16:06:04 cool Mar 03 16:06:12 so mlocate is better than slocate? Mar 03 16:06:51 What's better. Mar 03 16:07:42 i dunno, just wondering Mar 03 16:10:24 Guys, I can mount my unslung files now over nfs, works like a charm. Now, I want to make a lot of playlists on that mount which I haop later will show up in my mt-daapd server. Which linux program do you recommend to easily accomplish such a thing? rhythmbox maybe? Mar 03 16:11:00 The updates are faster because he merges the database. Mar 03 16:11:47 I have the mlocate file here. Mar 03 16:12:16 But i still need to make a postinst so that the group mlocate is created. Mar 03 16:12:49 Also i need to create a crontab entry so it could take some time to get a official package. Mar 03 16:13:39 eno: Could you check if it works for you as well. Mar 03 16:14:22 sure Mar 03 16:50:38 UncleRemus: why not make playlists using the firefly smartplaylist web interface? Mar 03 16:51:52 sorry marceln, I've missed the moment :) so, I need some help with unslung 6.8, to start vsftpd or proftpd. I need a ftp server with passv capabilities Mar 03 16:52:54 I don't understand what to do after ipkg install vsftpd/proftpd to make it answer on port 21 Mar 03 16:54:50 I'm almost "virgin" in linux world, and the docs are ok up to this moment, but from now on, the docs assumes a lot of things as obvious... Mar 03 16:55:03 ./etc/init.d/vsftpd start ? Mar 03 16:55:24 *inet.d Mar 03 16:55:48 ok, just a moment, I've installed xinet Mar 03 16:56:00 because it is written in doc Mar 03 16:56:05 to do so Mar 03 16:56:34 and after that, I've installed vsftpd Mar 03 16:56:39 is vsftpd running? Mar 03 16:57:01 Well, this IS a question, how to tel ? Mar 03 16:57:08 ps aux | grep ftp Mar 03 16:57:29 literally like that in telnet ? Mar 03 16:57:34 yeah Mar 03 16:57:44 one moment please Mar 03 16:58:30 483 ttyp0 root 2664 D grep ftp Mar 03 16:58:35 not running then Mar 03 17:00:39 it is easier to achieve a ftp with passv capabilities with proftpd instead vsftpd ? I've made today all that steps to put unslung 6.8 on my nslu2, just to achieve a ftp that is working behind a firewall/nat Mar 03 17:01:05 no idea tbh - i dont use unslung or ftp, Mar 03 17:01:31 i use debianslug and ssh/sftp Mar 03 17:05:16 it's well explained in the wiki how to install unslung, how to use an external flash to unsling, but when it comes to packages, it seems that the explanations consider the user, a linux user with basic knowledge about basic linux commands, and I'm not such a user...:( Mar 03 17:05:44 what do you want to do now? Mar 03 17:06:39 I've just installed the proftpd now (I've removed vsftpd) but it does not respond also, so it seems it must be started somehow Mar 03 17:07:31 ps aux | grep ftp showed you that it wasnt running Mar 03 17:07:36 so it needs startng Mar 03 17:07:39 starting Mar 03 17:07:53 yes but how ? Mar 03 17:07:56 usually this is done by running a script, rather than just running the binary Mar 03 17:08:14 in debianslug these scripts live in /etc/inet.d/ Mar 03 17:08:20 not sure in unslung Mar 03 17:08:26 yes, and I've read is something connected with xinetd Mar 03 17:08:40 but.. I'm stuck here Mar 03 17:08:44 what i usually do if im looking for stuff is use locate Mar 03 17:08:56 so locate proftpd Mar 03 17:09:03 so type 'locate proftpd' Mar 03 17:09:18 if youve never done this before you'll need to type 'updatedb' first Mar 03 17:09:20 locate: no such file Mar 03 17:09:30 lol Mar 03 17:09:32 either not installed or not in path Mar 03 17:09:45 yep of course Mar 03 17:09:45 ls /etc/ Mar 03 17:10:26 no, is not there.. a lot of other files, but not locate Mar 03 17:10:39 no sorry Mar 03 17:10:49 i meant is there a /etc/inet.d Mar 03 17:10:51 or xinet Mar 03 17:11:04 yest it is Mar 03 17:11:08 xinetd.d Mar 03 17:11:14 cd /etc/xinetd/d Mar 03 17:11:16 cd /etc/xinetd.d Mar 03 17:11:27 is there a proftpd in there? Mar 03 17:11:31 yes it is Mar 03 17:12:01 hold on Mar 03 17:12:05 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Proftpd?from=Unslung.Proftpd Mar 03 17:12:11 it explains it in there Mar 03 17:13:26 oh, I've read it already... but the trouble is there is no step-by-step start... Mar 03 17:13:47 As standalone server Mar 03 17:13:47 Set up startup script: cp /opt/doc/proftpd/S58proftpd /opt/etc/init.d Mar 03 17:13:47 Run: . /opt/etc/init.d/S58proftpd Mar 03 17:15:28 hmmm... I'll try it, but I've made the first choice, I mean I've installed xinetd as written: (Note2: Probably obvious [but I missed it] but xinetd needs to be installed ... Mar 03 17:16:23 with xinet it should be easy Mar 03 17:16:29 there will be a config file Mar 03 17:17:27 ok, I've tried it, but "Can't open /opt/etc/init.d/s58proftpd" Mar 03 17:18:08 in init.d I have only one file: S10xinetd Mar 03 17:18:12 yeah that did seem a bit odd to me Mar 03 17:18:51 in /etc/xinet.d/ dir you should create a conf file for ftp service Mar 03 17:19:04 which points to the proftpd binary Mar 03 17:19:18 i have to go afk, but im not much help anyway! Mar 03 17:19:54 ok, found it ! /opt/sbin/proftpd Mar 03 17:20:28 it is written in the proftpd file found in xinetd.d folder Mar 03 17:23:41 ughhh, now errors: /opt/sbin/proftpd: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") Mar 03 18:15:57 barnseenio: That sounds like a good idea, I didn't know of it. How can I access it? Mar 03 18:48:27 UncleRemus: have you seen the web interface at all? Mar 03 18:49:34 Yes I am there right now Mar 03 18:49:44 ah cool Mar 03 18:49:52 it has a slightly odd syntax Mar 03 18:50:00 but i used it to do all mine Mar 03 18:51:28 I have tried the wizard now, but it seems to generate only smart playlists. I want to have like more degrees of freedom, am I missing something? Mar 03 18:52:06 OK, I reread your original comment, I understand Mar 03 18:52:11 what do you mean by freedom? Mar 03 18:52:17 individual tracks? Mar 03 18:52:22 yes Mar 03 18:52:30 ah yeah, not really geared up for that Mar 03 18:52:56 although can be achieved Mar 03 18:53:08 But I think I can do it like with rhythmbox and then only make a perl-oneliner to adjust the paths, should work Mar 03 18:53:11 as there is criteria such as 'id' which is a unique id for the track Mar 03 18:53:22 i see Mar 03 18:53:35 I'll try it, report here how it went Mar 03 18:53:35 is rhythmbox a client? Mar 03 18:53:46 yes, looks a bit like iTunes Mar 03 18:54:02 i see, and generates playlist files? Mar 03 18:54:14 does it run on windows? Mar 03 18:54:27 no, i dont think so Mar 03 18:54:34 But you have iTunes there Mar 03 18:54:53 yeah but it cant make playlists from files stored on an itunes server Mar 03 18:55:10 only from files it can see real path to Mar 03 18:55:38 and yeah i could point it to slug tunes via samba, but its so slow its not really viable Mar 03 18:56:23 I did that via NFS right now Mar 03 18:56:47 point rhythmbox to your tunes? Mar 03 18:56:48 mounted the slug music via nfs and got it as a folder for rhythmbox Mar 03 18:56:52 yes Mar 03 18:57:06 mm yeah i tried that with itunes and myslug and it sucked Mar 03 18:57:13 *my slug Mar 03 18:57:17 It went (surprisingly) reasonably fast Mar 03 18:57:24 many tunes? Mar 03 18:57:36 1500 Mar 03 18:57:54 mm well, good luck. Mar 03 19:05:18 which channel is the right one if i want some infos about installing Debian on NSLU? Mar 03 19:09:51 not sure, although i have installed debian on my nslu2 Mar 03 19:24:07 hmm if i install debian can I use my ntfs disks? (maybe auto mount?) Mar 03 19:26:44 ok, I'm goin' to kill myself a little bit: after ipkg remove xinetd, there is no telnet access (but still available the web interface, and telnet service started from there)... Mar 03 19:34:43 could someone help to gain telnet access back without reflash ? after ipkg remove xinetd, there is no telnet access (but still available the web interface, and telnet service started from there) and also I have access to 'admin' share... Mar 03 19:51:41 hmmm... but I still have telnet access if I remove the external flash... wtf Mar 03 20:01:35 lol, you sound like your having a nightmare Mar 03 20:02:09 az_707: i hear access to ntfs disks is flakey, although i havent tried Mar 03 20:24:50 hey, i'm having a problem with speed of file transfer to my slug. Mar 03 20:25:23 first step was testing hard disk speed. as per the wiki, i timed dd writing 600mb to my HD: Mar 03 20:25:30 http://pastebin.com/892893 Mar 03 20:26:23 result of 7.9mb/s, so this is pretty close to maximum (this is obviously not the problem) Mar 03 20:27:13 question is, why do i only get a max of 1.5mb/s when transferring files to the slug via vsftp Mar 03 20:27:20 next step: netio Mar 03 20:27:46 with server on pc, and client on slug, here are the results: Mar 03 20:27:48 http://pastebin.com/892883 Mar 03 20:28:04 with server on slug, and client on pc, here are the results: Mar 03 20:28:06 http://pastebin.com/892884 Mar 03 20:28:47 both show an average of around 2.2mb/s. since the wiki suggests that this should be in the range 11mb/s, something is wrong here :) Mar 03 20:30:34 does anyone know what my next step should be?? i don't know how i can track down what the actual problem is... Mar 03 20:30:52 all i know is, for some reason network transfer to the slug is not what it should be Mar 03 20:31:41 Yes. Solve your network problem. Mar 03 20:33:50 any suggestions on what the first step to solving the network problem should be? Mar 03 20:33:56 iwo: What is your network setup. Mar 03 20:35:21 wireless linksys router, slug connected directly to the router (wired), pc connected wirelessly. PC is in the same room as the router, so signal is 'Excellent' 54Mbps Mar 03 20:39:17 i get shit transfer from my laptop to slug over wireless Mar 03 20:39:26 11 megabyte per second is only possible on a 100 megabit link. Mar 03 20:39:32 my connection always says excellent 54mbps, but it isnt Mar 03 20:39:42 i get more like 1-2mb Mar 03 20:39:51 :( Mar 03 20:39:52 The 54Mbps is raw radio speed. Mar 03 20:39:59 if i want to put big data on slug from pc i always stick ethernet in Mar 03 20:40:34 i also get dropout when doing large files from pc to slug over wifi Mar 03 20:40:36 i hate 802.11g Mar 03 20:40:43 mine is b Mar 03 20:41:06 In practice it's about half so 2 to 2.5 mb/s is normal over a wireless link. Mar 03 20:41:06 so you get the same transfer speed as me, on a b network?! Mar 03 20:41:36 sounds like it, my router supports g, just this old laptop has intel proset b built in Mar 03 20:42:20 i have a 20 mtr ethernet cable rolled up behind my tv (where slug, router and xbox is) and if i ever need to transfer (rarely) i just wire up ;-) Mar 03 20:48:50 i guess it is the wireless link. just transferred a file from my xbox (wired) to the slug (wired): Mar 03 20:48:52 34850066 bytes received in 39.9 secs (8.5e+02 Kbytes/sec) Mar 03 20:49:06 so, reset, reflash, re-unslung, re-unsling, re-unslAng :)) still no chance with vsftpd :(( Mar 03 20:49:37 now without installing xinetd Mar 03 20:49:56 lol Mar 03 20:50:02 nick61: get debian, its great ;-) Mar 03 20:50:08 why is transfer of wired to wired only 850kb/s ? Mar 03 20:50:23 yeah, 10x for sugestion, but... Mar 03 20:50:36 for a noob in linux... Mar 03 20:50:42 its better Mar 03 20:50:58 the stuff in the wiki about 'debian for hardcore linux users' isnt accurate imo Mar 03 20:51:06 at least in docs tells that unslung is for noobs like me (is it ? :) Mar 03 20:51:39 if anything its easier, as all the docs on the web etc are more useful for a debian install, rather than the slightly more obscure unslung/opt Mar 03 20:51:51 nick61: which part of the step by step guide at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Vsftpd did you get stuck on? Mar 03 20:52:04 about the third paragrah Mar 03 20:52:05 aph Mar 03 20:52:34 iwo: starting vsftpd, after making that file:rc.xinetd Mar 03 20:53:15 the error I get now is: Mar 03 20:53:33 "# Unable to bind server socket: : Address already in use Mar 03 20:53:33 Unable to listen to socket Mar 03 20:53:49 that probably means vsftp is already running Mar 03 20:53:54 telnet slug 21 Mar 03 20:54:31 just a moment, do I need to close the current telnet session ? Mar 03 20:54:49 so, you made the file, you made it executable (with chmod), then you ran it (with ./rc.xinetd) Mar 03 20:55:00 no, you don't have to close the telnet session Mar 03 20:55:46 no, without dot in front of /unslung/rc.xinetd Mar 03 20:56:56 the guide does not tell you to run /unslung/rc.xinetd Mar 03 20:57:07 it tells you to edit /unslung/rc.xinetd, then run /etc/rc.d/rc.xinetd Mar 03 20:57:07 yes correct Mar 03 20:57:19 I've made as in the guide Mar 03 20:57:28 not /unslung/rc... Mar 03 20:57:45 my mistake here Mar 03 20:57:57 but I did correct in telnet Mar 03 20:58:43 well, if you get the error "Address already in use", then it is likely that you have been successful (and that vsftp is now running) Mar 03 20:59:04 open a new telnet to port 21 on your slug and press return a few times Mar 03 20:59:35 I've opened a new putty window with 192.168.0.77 on port 21 and I have only a black window with the green cursor Mar 03 20:59:40 nothing else Mar 03 20:59:47 oops Mar 03 20:59:52 pressed return a few times? Mar 03 21:00:02 wb iwo Mar 03 21:00:10 :D Mar 03 21:00:13 yes, now, still nothing Mar 03 21:00:35 on your slug try typing 'ps aux | grep ftp' Mar 03 21:01:04 653 ttyp0 root 2668 S grep ftp Mar 03 21:01:27 :) hmm, so what on earth is using port 21 Mar 03 21:01:27 no process running with ftp in the name Mar 03 21:02:15 iwo using xbmc? Mar 03 21:02:20 yes Mar 03 21:02:33 it f*cking rocks, dont you think? Mar 03 21:03:04 guys, may I explain exactly what I did until now ? Mar 03 21:03:08 yes Mar 03 21:03:11 :D Mar 03 21:03:17 (to both) lol Mar 03 21:03:21 lol Mar 03 21:03:28 nick61: try typing this: ps -A | grep ftp Mar 03 21:03:28 have you got a hdtv iwo ? Mar 03 21:04:01 655 ttyp0 root 2668 S grep ftp Mar 03 21:04:01 no, i've just got a (rather dated now) 28" widescreen crt tv Mar 03 21:04:11 I think it is the same Mar 03 21:04:23 locate the vsftpd binary and run it Mar 03 21:04:34 (without xinet or script) Mar 03 21:04:39 no locate on unslung :) Mar 03 21:04:48 get debian Mar 03 21:04:51 :)) Mar 03 21:05:00 ok, find it Mar 03 21:05:28 nick61: when you say you tried to connect using putty to port 21, which protocol did you use? Mar 03 21:05:35 just a moment, I became expert in finding files today :) Mar 03 21:05:40 he said telnet Mar 03 21:06:03 telnet Mar 03 21:06:27 iwo: are you using a recent version of xbmc? Mar 03 21:06:27 recheck anyway Mar 03 21:07:14 ok, vsftpd is in /opt/sbin Mar 03 21:07:24 yes, pretty recent i'd say it's about 1 month old Mar 03 21:07:32 how to run it ? Mar 03 21:08:14 ./vsftpd Mar 03 21:08:16 cd to folder and type ./ Mar 03 21:08:20 ok Mar 03 21:08:29 although it's probably not going to let you run it that way Mar 03 21:09:42 if you have created the /unslung/rc.xinetd correctly, you should be able to just reboot the slug Mar 03 21:09:50 after you reboot, vsftp will be running Mar 03 21:10:17 it sounds like you are having problems restarting xinetd manually - just reboot instead Mar 03 21:10:59 barnseenio: i can't get an xbox 360, cos it would only do a fraction of what my 4 year old xbox can do now :D Mar 03 21:11:12 hmmm, I ran in something different: I thought that what I see in 'admin' share is the same as in telnet / Mar 03 21:11:30 yeah its a stinker isnt it, although news this week seems to suggests 360 is cracked enough now Mar 03 21:12:02 yeah Mar 03 21:12:08 but its been fixed aswell... Mar 03 21:12:36 lol, they learned some lessons from xbox huh Mar 03 21:12:39 i doubt it. there's little chance of any serious homebrew development until a stable (and universal) technique of running homebrew is found Mar 03 21:13:00 its madness that the most useful gadgets in my house are born from hackers/crackers and geeks, not million dollar companies Mar 03 21:13:00 but in 'admin' share in /opt/sbin there is only vsftpd and in telnet /opt/sbin there are a lot of files but no vsftpd... Mar 03 21:13:04 the current technique is shafted as soon as anyone connects to live (and gets a f/w update) Mar 03 21:13:16 yup Mar 03 21:13:19 now I'm trying with reboot Mar 03 21:13:31 after nick61 try with debian ;-) Mar 03 21:13:54 whats the modchip scene like for 360s? Mar 03 21:14:13 people seem to be able to play copied games without much effort... Mar 03 21:14:20 i understand you can play backups, but not.. Mar 03 21:14:29 yeah no OS loader then Mar 03 21:14:45 no real modchips, (when i say real, i mean that totally compromise the system and allow homebrew apps) Mar 03 21:15:12 only crappy chips that allow you to switch dvd firmware easily Mar 03 21:16:01 most of the modding so far has been around changing dvd firmware to allow backup games to be run Mar 03 21:16:16 perhaps the only route for ppl who want to stream hd from their lan, is these network video players Mar 03 21:16:31 im sure i saw one recently for < �200 Mar 03 21:16:52 im frightened of how the interface might suck now im used to xbm though Mar 03 21:16:56 *xbmc Mar 03 21:17:28 best thing about the original xbox is, it's pretty much just a pc (733mhz intel processor), so it's so damn versatile Mar 03 21:17:40 xbmc is pretty much unrivalled because of this Mar 03 21:18:45 yeah, and tbh i usually download xvid/divx type films anyway, so im not shitting myself about hd quality Mar 03 21:18:46 NICE! I'm back in the situation with no answer on telnet screen !! (but web interface is working) Mar 03 21:19:13 although when i get my new telly, i know im going to be itching for high def content Mar 03 21:19:43 nick61: when you reboot, telnet is disabled again Mar 03 21:19:48 let me go to shoot myself for a while... Mar 03 21:19:58 lol Mar 03 21:19:59 I've enabled it of course Mar 03 21:20:06 debia... Mar 03 21:21:11 lol Mar 03 21:21:22 how to erase that file without telnet now ? (/unslung/rc.xinetd) Mar 03 21:21:32
