Apr 04 03:02:17 <mwester> Didja try just "make slugosbe" ?
Apr 04 03:04:22 <pierrelux> xitrium: is that slugos 4.3 ?
Apr 04 03:04:54 <xitrium> yeah
Apr 04 03:04:59 <xitrium> to mwester
Apr 04 03:05:11 <xitrium> peirrelux, I just did that, so I don't know what version really 
Apr 04 03:06:57 <xitrium> NOTE: build 200704032306: started
Apr 04 03:07:00 <xitrium> is that 4.3? :P
Apr 04 03:07:11 <xitrium> or just saying what time it was when I began..
Apr 04 03:07:21 <xitrium> nevermind, i'm dumb
Apr 04 03:07:52 <xitrium> DISTRO         = "slugos", 
Apr 04 03:07:52 <xitrium> DISTRO_VERSION = "4.4-beta"
Apr 04 03:09:06 <xitrium> and make openslug-3.10-beta doesn't work...
Apr 04 03:10:09 <pierrelux> I also had some problems with 3.10 i never overcame
Apr 04 03:10:17 <xitrium> What version do you use?
Apr 04 03:10:42 <pierrelux> 4.3 was successful for me ... but you should keep working on current release
Apr 04 03:11:06 <xitrium> Even though it doesn't seem to want to compile?
Apr 04 03:11:13 <pierrelux> I can't tell what could be you problem
Apr 04 03:11:24 <xitrium> Well, thanks for looking anyhow
Apr 04 03:11:33 <pierrelux> umount.c seems to be broken
Apr 04 03:11:39 <pierrelux> and that's strange
Apr 04 03:12:05 <mwester> It compiles fine; there's probably a missing dependency of some sort.  That error was noted before; check the mailing list archives, or the logs for the #nslu2-linux channel.
Apr 04 03:12:21 <pierrelux> maybe go on #nslu2-linux for that kind of question
Apr 04 03:12:27 <pierrelux> ok
Apr 04 03:13:14 <xitrium> thanks
Apr 04 03:13:17 <xitrium> I'll check the logs
Apr 04 03:13:25 <xitrium>  /archives
Apr 04 03:15:55 <xitrium> Nothing on the mailing list; is there an easier way to check the irc logs than downloading every text file of every day for the past while and searching it manually?
Apr 04 03:20:28 <mwester> Not that I'm aware of :(
Apr 04 03:22:07 <xitrium> Ew.  
Apr 04 03:22:09 <xitrium> Thanks though.
Apr 04 03:27:14 <xitrium> I think I'll ask in -linux just in case someone there remembers and can save me a lot of work :P
Apr 04 03:29:23 <mwester> Did you try starting afresh -- select "slugosbe", do a "make update", and then "make slugosbe"?
Apr 04 03:29:59 <xitrium> no
Apr 04 03:30:04 <xitrium> what is select?
Apr 04 03:31:01 <mwester> dunno - my fingers typed something different than my brain told them to type.  Try "delete slugosbe" instead
Apr 04 03:31:20 <xitrium> ah
Apr 04 03:31:25 <xitrium> okay, I will.  Thanks :)
Apr 04 03:32:31 <xitrium> I think I'll leave that on overnight.  Thanks for your help!
Apr 04 11:02:04 <barnseenio> i have a requirement to join two files, but side by side and wondered if you knew of any quick way. this is two csv files which were split because the number of columns were too big for excel, i'd like to join them together for processing. and suggestions?
Apr 04 11:02:15 <barnseenio> ps, i know its not slug related ;-)
Apr 04 13:56:29 <Lunar_Lamp> I've just unslung my slug, but I can't "ipkg update", or ping google.com as I get host-name lookup error.
Apr 04 13:57:35 <Lunar_Lamp> Hmm, I tried pinging google by IP, and that doesn't work either, so it appears not to be a DNS issue.
Apr 04 14:04:00 <Lunar_Lamp> I can ping my router, so that's not the issue.
Apr 04 16:25:13 <fendor> ~botsnack
Apr 04 16:25:14 <capbot> fendor: aw, gee
Apr 04 16:25:16 <fendor> hehe
Apr 04 20:38:14 <Suschman> good evening
Apr 04 20:40:26 <fendor> hi
Apr 04 20:41:18 <Suschman> do you know the fns-1000?
Apr 04 20:41:36 <Suschman> its similar to the nslu, but with ide controller internal for harddisks
Apr 04 20:42:03 <Suschman> uses a patched 2.4.x kernel, but i cant find out the vanilla version to diff what was changed...
Apr 04 20:42:41 <Suschman> have you some idea where in the kernel sources a version note may be present?
Apr 04 20:48:55 <fendor> nope, not me, perhaps someone else :)
Apr 04 22:13:08 <fendor> hmm I dont seem to have very many packages in ipkg
Apr 04 22:13:21 <fendor> I just installed openslug 3.10
Apr 04 22:13:27 <fendor> what am I forgetting to do ?
Apr 04 22:13:41 <fendor> can it be right that I have to manually add src to ipkg.conf ?
Apr 04 22:18:29 <fendor> hmm there are references in /etc/ipkg/cross.cong and native.conf
Apr 04 22:18:38 <fendor> but they dont seem to be used
Apr 04 22:20:29 <fendor> oh sorry, it does use em
Apr 04 22:20:43 <fendor> its just that ipkg list does not really have that many packages
Apr 04 22:23:49 <fendor> hmm, now thats just wierd, now there are many more.. :)
Apr 04 22:24:15 <fendor> (i did run ipkg update many times)
Apr 04 22:24:23 * fendor seems to n00bing around
Apr 04 23:25:11 <Tyrhinis> Quick question. Have unslung my NSLU to an external disk. Have logged in as an administrator. However all operating system files are read only. Denies access to change this. Any ideas?
Apr 04 23:27:45 <mwester_> Then you're in the wrong place
Apr 04 23:28:28 <mwester_> Are you telnet'd or ssh'd into the device?  Or using the GUI?  Or using a share?
Apr 04 23:28:57 <Tyrhinis> im using a share
Apr 04 23:29:36 <Tyrhinis> I am ssh'd into the device, havent attempted to do anything through SSH, wanted to install an FTP server that involved editing and creating some files, thought it would be easier to do this through the share
Apr 04 23:31:01 <mwester_> you can't do that via the share.  but more importantly, you can't usually edit Linux config files from a Windows system (messes up line endings)
Apr 04 23:31:21 <mwester_> No need to install an FTP server, just go to the GUI and enable the built-in FTP server.
Apr 04 23:32:01 <Tyrhinis> How do I do that?
Apr 04 23:33:29 <mwester_> Point your browser at the device, and check the box marked "Enable FTP Server"
Apr 04 23:33:43 <mwester_> Standard part fo the Linksys firmware
Apr 04 23:33:48 <mwester_> s/fo/of/
Apr 04 23:33:48 <capbot> mwester_ meant: Standard part of the Linksys firmware
Apr 04 23:34:14 <Tyrhinis> ah gotcha.
Apr 04 23:35:44 <fendor> I need to find a package in unstable feed in head, how do I do that ?
Apr 04 23:35:53 <Tyrhinis> Have done that, but alas, what IP do I use to access the FTP server.
Apr 04 23:36:06 <fendor> its called something like: madfu-1.2
Apr 04 23:36:16 <mwester_> fendor: http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/
Apr 04 23:36:27 <mwester_> Tyrhinis: you set the IP for the device, didn't you?
Apr 04 23:37:16 <Tyrhinis> its behind my router
Apr 04 23:37:16 <mwester_> The default is 192.168.1.77
Apr 04 23:37:19 <Tyrhinis> has a lan ip
Apr 04 23:37:20 <fendor> Yes, I tried, it return nothing, it was added earlier today to the feed
Apr 04 23:37:39 <Tyrhinis> and, router doesnt want to forward ports to it, unfortunately. Cant seem to get that to work
Apr 04 23:37:59 <mwester_> Tyrhinis: you need to research port forwarding for your router, that has nothing to do with the device on the LAN.
Apr 04 23:38:01 <fendor> so does that mean that its not in the feed, or that the search page isn't updated yet
Apr 04 23:38:19 <Tyrhinis> its been assigned 192.168.1.3
Apr 04 23:38:35 <Tyrhinis> cant simply type ftp.192.168.1.3
Apr 04 23:38:37 <mwester_> Yeah, but that means nothing - your router blocks that from all external addresses
Apr 04 23:38:59 <mwester_> On your local lan you should be able to type "ftp 192.168.1.3"
Apr 04 23:39:17 <Tyrhinis> kk, thanks
Apr 04 23:39:18 <mwester_> But not from the internet, of course -- that's the purpose of the router/firewall device
Apr 04 23:39:31 <mwester_> fendor: it's probably not yet in the feeds then.
Apr 04 23:40:36 <fendor> okay. I try again tomorrow then. (it was added ca. 10 hours ago)
Apr 04 23:40:38 <Tyrhinis> Does not display ftp.192.168.1.3 on the lan
Apr 04 23:41:01 <mwester_> Tyrhinis: where are you typeing that?  That makes no sense.
Apr 04 23:41:23 <Tyrhinis> server name or address could not be resolved
Apr 04 23:41:24 <mwester_> ftp.192.168.1.3 (with no spaces) is not a valid syntax.
Apr 04 23:41:40 <mwester_> Yes, are you typing that into a command line?  or into your browser?
Apr 04 23:42:17 <Tyrhinis> just in my address bar
Apr 04 23:42:25 <Tyrhinis> should i use an ftp client
Apr 04 23:42:37 <mwester_> That's the browser.  Yes, you should use an ftp client.
Apr 04 23:42:48 <mwester_> Your browser *can* be an ftp client, but you need to use the correct syntax.
Apr 04 23:42:58 <mwester_> Windows also has an ftp client at the command line.
Apr 04 23:42:59 <Tyrhinis> browser
Apr 04 23:43:55 <mwester_> Google for URL and FTP, and you should get some information.  In general, it's something like "ftp://192.168.1.3/"  but that assumes anonymous ftp.
Apr 04 23:43:55 <Tyrhinis> ty
Apr 04 23:44:37 <mwester_> If you wish to work with FTP (for real) you would do well to become familiar with the MSDOS command line at least.
Apr 04 23:44:57 <mwester_> At that CMD prompt, you enter "ftp 192.168.1.3"
Apr 04 23:45:13 <mwester_> That will start the ftp client, and it will attempt to open a connection to that address.
Apr 04 23:45:21 <Tyrhinis> kk mate, thank you
Apr 04 23:45:45 <Tyrhinis> that worked
Apr 04 23:45:48 <mwester_> That is the native (and normal) interface for FTP, especially when dealing with passwords and security (browsers are very poor for security)
Apr 04 23:45:50 <Tyrhinis> cheers
Apr 04 23:45:54 <mwester_> Excellent!
Apr 04 23:46:15 <Tyrhinis> kk, shall read up.
Apr 04 23:46:21 <Tyrhinis> thank you
Apr 04 23:49:13 <ronni> what torrent software do any of you run on the slug?
Apr 04 23:50:21 <mwester_> enhanced-ctorrent.
Apr 04 23:52:04 <ronni> does it support encryption?
Apr 04 23:52:29 <ronni> rtorrent looks very promising, but it's very buggy
Apr 04 23:52:37 <mwester_> Good gracious, on a slug?  :)   No, it doesn't.  That could be a real performance issue.
Apr 04 23:52:57 <mwester_> There's only a small CPU, and 32MB of ram.
Apr 04 23:53:41 <ronni> ahhh.. but I thought because it's a command line tool (curses) it would run fast
Apr 04 23:53:45 <ronni> darn it
Apr 04 23:54:10 <ronni> ohh ohh. you're talking about encryption
Apr 04 23:54:26 <ronni> right right.. good thinking
