**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 15 02:59:59 2007 Mar 15 04:16:03 mika_ :) Mar 15 11:14:29 Hi all Mar 15 11:19:30 Got a problem, I installed using Debian RC1 and now my deb depenacies are wacked... Should I reinstall using RC2 or is there a fix? (Apt segfaults on upgrade) Mar 15 11:19:35 *apt also.... Mar 15 11:29:06 having problems with gnuparted while trying to install debian on a 2GB usb pen drive on my NSLU2, can anyone offer any advice? Mar 15 11:34:40 Device /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc has a logical sector size of 2048. Not all parts of GNU Parted support this at the moment, and the working code is HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL. Mar 15 11:35:19 then in the partition discs section the device shows up as " SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 509.9 MB DW PND2GCBMM21102B" Mar 15 11:50:04 is there a way to partition this disk before i get to this part of the installer? Mar 15 11:55:31 Yes Mar 15 11:56:25 Golfgeo I would be glad to hear any advice, tia Mar 15 11:56:25 Marto, just partition the device from an other Linux machine and create and mkswap a swap space and then restart the installation Mar 15 11:56:48 This is how I do all my installes Mar 15 11:57:10 And don't load auto part during the module download fase Mar 15 11:57:21 so the list of partitions I need to create are just mkswap and swap? Is there a certain filesystem type I need to use? ext2 or ext3 ? Mar 15 11:58:29 No! Mar 15 11:58:56 One linux partition and One linux Swap partition Mar 15 11:59:38 Lets say 1.5 GB Linux partition and one 512 MB Linux_Swap partition Mar 15 12:00:13 B.t.w. USE CFDISK: Delete all partitions, exit cfdisk, open cfdisk and create the partitions Mar 15 12:00:58 ok thanks for the advice Golfgeo, i need to reboot to boot linux then i will try this. thanks. if I have any problems I will be back :) Mar 15 12:45:58 I had to disconnect to reboot, is there anywhere that I can go to view the chat history? Mar 15 12:49:05 I need to know what modules Golfgeo suggested that I do not select during installation, after using cfdisk to partition the USB pen drive Mar 15 12:49:54 when was this? Mar 15 12:50:39 about 10-15 minutes ago perhaps Mar 15 12:50:45 sorry, I should have said Mar 15 12:51:17 I must be blind but I can't see any module suggestions Mar 15 12:51:56 I was having problems installing to a usb pen drive, Golfgeo suggested that I use cfdisk on another linux machine to get around partition problems with gnu parted Mar 15 12:51:57 you mean while you were gone? Mar 15 12:52:08 just before i left I think Mar 15 12:52:40 13:56 < Golfgeo|away> And don't load auto part during the module download fase Mar 15 12:52:44 that part? Mar 15 12:52:47 golfgeo suggested that I do not select certain options from the install prompt, I think it was the partitioning stuff Mar 15 12:53:07 thanks, thats it Mar 15 12:54:03 now to see if this works :) I had not been using autopartkit , i had been using partman auto, as described in http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Mar 15 12:54:31 do you think that golfgeo was refering to partman auto rather than autopartkit? Mar 15 12:55:53 to use? Mar 15 12:56:56 well I partitioned the usb pen drive as golfgeo advised, on another machine using cfdisk. Mar 15 12:57:31 I have been having some trouble getting debian to install on the nslu2 Mar 15 12:59:11 does anyone else have debian running on an nslu2 from a usb pen drive? Mar 15 13:00:23 I am using the advice from here -> http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Mar 15 13:08:13 so if anyone has any other ideas let me know :) Mar 15 13:27:49 currently I have the following displayed during the "Partition discs" section Mar 15 13:27:50 /dev/mtdblock0 - 262.1 kB Unknown Mar 15 13:27:50 /dev/mtdblock1 - 131.1 kB Unknown   ▒ Mar 15 13:27:50 /dev/mtdblock2 - 131.1 kB Unknown    ▒ Mar 15 13:27:50 /dev/mtdblock3 - 1.4 MB Unknown     ▒ Mar 15 13:27:50 /dev/mtdblock4 - 6.3 MB Unknown      ▒ Mar 15 13:27:52 /dev/mtdblock5 - 131.1 kB Unknown       ▒ Mar 15 13:27:56 SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) - 509.9 MB DW PND2GCBMM21102B        ▮ Mar 15 13:28:16 when i print the partition table from the shell i get this: Mar 15 13:28:34 Disk /dev/sda: 63 heads, 62 sectors, 254 cylinders Mar 15 13:28:34 Units = cylinders of 3906 * 512 bytes Mar 15 13:28:34 Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System Mar 15 13:28:34 /dev/sda1 1 1 751 1466672 83 Linux Native Mar 15 13:28:34 /dev/sda2 751 751 1019 523404 82 Linux Swap Mar 15 13:30:49 when i try to get it to use the existing partitions on the disk i get: Mar 15 13:31:56 No root file system is defined. Mar 15 13:31:57 Please correct this from the partitioning menu. Mar 15 14:15:10 any NSLU2 debian users around? I have some problems installing to a USB pen drive. Mar 15 14:23:12 sup... anyone know if there is a way to password protect the CTCS torrent control webpage? (using newest version of Unslung + enhanced ctorrent + ctcs) Mar 15 14:31:26 local network/internet purposes? Mar 15 14:33:48 internet Mar 15 14:34:19 do not want everyone who scans me to pull up my port, but my current router sucks balls ACL wise Mar 15 14:34:34 are you behind nat? Mar 15 14:34:35 prolly get a pix/800 series router soon to compensate Mar 15 14:34:55 yeah, using standard pat translation to translate to the inside address Mar 15 14:35:03 ssh-tunnel then? Mar 15 14:35:24 thats probably an option.. I have never setup an ssh tunnel before, but I should probably read up on it Mar 15 14:35:34 it's an easy task Mar 15 14:35:35 first thing I did was install openssh Mar 15 14:35:46 which OS is the client running? Mar 15 14:36:00 I am running vista or Ubuntu Mar 15 14:36:01 I mean where you browse the pages Mar 15 14:36:32 the NSLU2 is the newest version of Unslung.. 0.6 or something like that Mar 15 14:36:36 if you're using for example putty, it's piece of cake Mar 15 14:36:42 SecureCRT Mar 15 14:36:53 hard to say about its features Mar 15 14:37:05 should be more then putty.. but I can always download putty as well Mar 15 14:37:24 with putty I can be of assistance Mar 15 14:37:41 alright let me get it.. Mar 15 14:38:17 do I only need plink or the full putty client? Mar 15 14:39:03 first create normal login entries, then head to SSH-tree->Tunnels: Source port X (this is where you connect locally to with your browser) Destination for example 192.168.1.77:ctcs port and click add Mar 15 14:39:49 then login normally Mar 15 14:39:58 browse to localhost:X and voila Mar 15 14:43:43 do I use the public IP as the dest or the inside address of the NSLU2 Mar 15 14:44:08 the one behind nat Mar 15 14:44:23 I thought my example set that clear ;) Mar 15 14:44:35 network class revealing.. Mar 15 14:44:43 it did, but I have not had my cup of coffee ;) Mar 15 14:44:51 I am a CCIE, heh Mar 15 14:45:20 and yes, I believe plink is sufficient to do the task Mar 15 14:47:20 cool.. thanks for the help Mar 15 15:08:44 Hi all Mar 15 15:10:42 Got a problem: I have a Prolific 2303 serial converter (embedded in a usb-GPS device) connected to my Debian RC1 Nslu2 and when I try to boot it just doesn't... Without the GPS it however does boot. Is this a "wait-for-serial-device" problem or something else? Mar 15 15:18:29 Anyone? Mar 15 15:19:35 wtf, now it does boot??? Mar 15 15:19:39 Wierd Mar 15 15:23:59 Yep, it does boot, ohh wel, better late then never... Mar 15 15:57:06 Hi! How are everybody doing Mar 15 15:57:20 Now I am trying to integrate webdav on my apache server Mar 15 15:57:26 I don't know if this is even possible Mar 15 15:58:01 I have to compile for my server using make, but when i run ./configure I get no acceptable cc found in path... Mar 15 16:41:23 is there a good app for use on unslung to stream mp3 files? (other then the itunes server) Mar 15 17:08:26 icecast? Mar 15 17:11:42 Hi! I am trying to build webdav for my apache server Mar 15 17:12:01 And I am using the apxs dynamic module "thing" Mar 15 17:12:46 So when i run /.configure I get the error message: apxs:Error: /home/slug/optware/nslu2/staging/opt/bin/apr-1-config not found!." Mar 15 17:12:56 Pretty confused :( Mar 15 19:11:50 mika_ :) Mar 15 19:50:57 anyone using a networked dvd player with the NSLU2 ? Mar 15 20:36:36 Has there been a message on debian arm mailing list about upgrading to RC2? Mar 15 20:36:39 Or have i just missed it? Mar 15 20:37:56 there was something on the wiki, but only an issue with installing right? Mar 15 20:38:02 if it is installed then all is ok Mar 15 20:43:07 I dont know, as im on RC1 with an updated kernel Mar 15 20:43:10 i cant really remember Mar 15 20:45:23 how hard is it to install? Mar 15 20:46:19 If RC2 is like RC1, its not very hard Mar 15 20:46:35 sweet!!! Mar 15 20:47:07 in the process of taring up the OpenSLug system as well as my data partition (for copying to main PC) in prep for an install of Deb Mar 15 21:03:35 what is a cmd I can use to view proccessor speed / load, memory usage and or network usage Mar 15 21:04:46 top and ntop, probably Mar 15 21:06:12 uptime gives a good metric as well Mar 15 21:06:17 so between Mar 15 21:06:18 free Mar 15 21:06:20 uptime Mar 15 21:06:22 top Mar 15 21:06:41 hehe load average has hit 2 Mar 15 21:10:23 hrm.. its not really using much of the swap.. Mar 15 21:10:33 thats good Mar 15 21:10:42 swap == bad Mar 15 21:10:43 kinda Mar 15 21:10:51 kinda.. it has its uses Mar 15 21:11:05 no such command as top Mar 15 21:11:20 not denying that, but if you can avoid using it the better Mar 15 21:11:29 Kewlb, what kind of firmware? Mar 15 21:11:36 unslung Mar 15 21:12:07 then you should install procps package, which provides top.. Mar 15 21:12:15 really just trying to verify if it was a model that came @ 266mhz or if I need to try and overclock it Mar 15 21:12:27 cat /proc/cpuinfo Mar 15 21:12:30 will tell you Mar 15 21:12:36 cat /proc/cpuinfo is enough for that Mar 15 21:12:41 lol Mar 15 21:12:45 tkz Mar 15 21:12:52 yep.. I need to overclock it :) Mar 15 21:13:05 Naib:caplink811-log 1:0 Mar 15 21:13:06 I took mine into work for that Mar 15 21:13:09 will do that after my 2 torrents using ctorrent+ctcs finish :) Mar 15 21:13:13 caplink811-log, ? Mar 15 21:13:25 ahh gocha Mar 15 21:13:42 :) Mar 15 21:14:08 40gig takes a while to tar Mar 15 21:14:15 now if I can only find a dvd/hd-dvd player that supports playing from a CIFS share Mar 15 21:14:37 Kewlb, software media player?

Mar 15 21:15:25 I had a nice htpc.. but rebuilt it for dynamips during my CCIE lab studies and now have other uses for it Mar 15 21:15:30 I did come across something, it was a kinda NSLU2, but non-modable Mar 15 21:16:08 a mate built a media-centre and had it PXEboot gentoo from his slug and / as an NFS share on the slug Mar 15 21:16:12 that works very well Mar 15 21:17:07 my old setup was ubuntu + MythTV Mar 15 21:17:10 which worked pretty well Mar 15 21:17:59 yer I think he used mythTV but didn't like it, I think he ended up using VMware to boot Windows Media Centre Mar 15 21:18:24 I tried to get him to try Diplomacy as a media centre but he wouldn't Mar 15 21:19:13 believe it or not the media center stuff on vista works very well Mar 15 21:19:29 Oh I know that Mar 15 21:19:58 which is what i'll prolly just use for right now Mar 15 21:20:21 my vista laptop and dvi connection w/ the cifs share to the tv.... only problem is lack of good audio Mar 15 21:23:22 welp time to go home.. thanks for the help Mar 15 22:23:51 any debianslug owners alive? Mar 15 22:50:20 <_TryMor3> any chance.. any chance at all that anyone has played with libptp on the slug? Mar 15 22:50:22 <_TryMor3> :) Mar 15 22:50:29 <_TryMor3> please?... Mar 15 22:50:59 <_TryMor3> with sugar and cream... Mar 15 22:51:12 not me Mar 15 22:51:20 using debianslug? Mar 15 22:51:29 <_TryMor3> well.. everything actually. Mar 15 22:51:37 <_TryMor3> but currently debian rc2. Mar 15 22:51:55 on slug? Mar 15 22:51:58 <_TryMor3> yup. Mar 15 22:52:10 ah cool, can ask you a question? Mar 15 22:52:10 <_TryMor3> but that is currently.. Mar 15 22:52:14 <_TryMor3> shoot. Mar 15 22:52:24 i have one usb hd attached Mar 15 22:52:27 and one empty slot Mar 15 22:52:33 i wish to attach another drive Mar 15 22:52:49 possibly via a usb hub Mar 15 22:53:02 is that going to cause me problems? Mar 15 22:53:11 or a simple plug it in type operation? Mar 15 22:53:20 <_TryMor3> anybody can feel free to correct me if I am wrong..., but unless you are using unslung, or the original firmware.. it shouldn't be a problem. Mar 15 22:53:42 so literally just plug it in? Mar 15 22:53:43 <_TryMor3> I would just plug it in and try it.. Mar 15 22:53:53 yeah .. need to buy one first ;-) Mar 15 22:54:41 <_TryMor3> one more usb hub lying around is never a problem.. Mar 15 22:54:44 if i add a usb hub, can i just keep adding disks? Mar 15 22:55:58 <_TryMor3> I would assume.. but beware of power constraints. Mar 15 22:56:11 <_TryMor3> again remeber that I am the one that am begging for help. Mar 15 22:56:14 <_TryMor3> :) Mar 15 22:56:22 <_TryMor3> and it is only a "little" slug Mar 15 22:56:27 lol Mar 15 22:56:44 <_TryMor3> don't expect it to feed you data at some huge rate. Mar 15 22:56:48 <_TryMor3> (to or from) Mar 15 22:57:03 lol, ive owned a slug for a while now .. i know to be patient ;-) Mar 15 23:30:03 good evening Mar 15 23:31:35 anyone in? Mar 15 23:31:44 ~ask Mar 15 23:31:44 If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes. Mar 15 23:31:59 Well.. not sure. Mar 15 23:32:39 I've set up a cross-compile env. using the mastermakefile Mar 15 23:32:45 is there a way to easily increase the swap partition size? Mar 15 23:33:43 gparted would be a tool to change partition size Mar 15 23:34:16 if you can boot a system with your hdd attached with a live-cd Mar 15 23:34:34 try: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ Mar 15 23:34:48 k.. I have a desktop that runs ubuntu Mar 15 23:35:39 I believe it already has gparted Mar 15 23:36:52 also i see quite a few of these in my proccess list (about 6) which are eating up 10mb per: upnpd &>/dev/null Mar 15 23:42:02 google for upnpd & nslu2 and figure whether you need it. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 16 02:59:57 2007
