**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 20 02:59:57 2007 Apr 20 05:58:39 hey guys, I'm having a bit of a problem, I can ssh into my slug but i cant doo much else with it. I wanted to upgrade it but it can't get an outisde connection when i do ipkg update Apr 20 05:59:35 and it wont let me telnet in or bring up the web gui Apr 20 06:01:28 i tried change off dhcp to a static ip but that did'nt with anything and just went back to defualt 77 Apr 20 06:06:38 should i some how reinstall to the latest firmware? or can I do it from where I'm at with ssh working and still able to remotely mount the /public folder Apr 20 08:50:38 hi, my NSLU2 is nomore detecting my usb hardisk. It was working properly, untill I accidently unplugged the usb cable of it while it was still running. Apr 20 08:50:52 I had installed Debian on it. Apr 20 08:51:10 have no clue why this is so. has anyone come accross this situation. Apr 20 08:51:39 By nomore detecting the hardisk, I mean the led does not glow. Apr 20 08:52:10 I tried putting in a usb stick. still the led won't glow. Apr 20 08:52:30 the usb harddisk is working fine. I tested it on my notebook. Apr 20 08:55:06 any ideas. I tried google, and nslu2-linux.org for help. Apr 20 09:02:59 I will search more on this on the Internet. Meanwhile thank you all for Debian on NSLU2. In a country like mine(India) Debian on NSLU2 has a lot of uses. Apr 20 09:03:30 I were just now talking with a friend who is working on this http://h71036.www7.hp.com/hho/cache/447351-0-0-225-121.html Apr 20 09:04:38 All that functionality can be built on top of NSLU2, and I use most of it also. and HP is yet to launch that product. hehe Apr 20 15:36:58 hello, anyone here? Apr 20 15:38:22 yes Apr 20 15:38:57 most people just ask the question - sooner or later someone comes up and might have an answer Apr 20 15:39:00 I'm new to the slugh, and need some noob style Q's answering that I can't seem to find the answers too, can you help? Apr 20 15:39:12 OK, I'll do just that, Apr 20 15:42:17 I want to connect 3 drives to the slug, 1 already has een formatted by the slug and is full of data, I can't unsling to it(I think the access is too slow), 1 is slug formatted but empty and I can unsling to it, 1 is NTFS formated and full of data. I tried putting drives 2&3 ona hub, but the slug only see's one of them, what am I doing wrong? Apr 20 15:42:24 wow that was a big one Apr 20 15:44:14 me by another prog Apr 20 15:44:19 damski: read this one? http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/R63DiskBehaviour Apr 20 15:46:05 I'm reading but's not going in, let me try to re-digest it, Apr 20 15:47:30 hub on port 1 - connect the two drives to it and use OS-drive from port 2 - or is this your current configuration? Apr 20 15:48:07 yes, but it only saw 1 drive on port1, the ntfs one Apr 20 15:48:27 tell me more about this another driv Apr 20 15:48:27 e Apr 20 15:48:33 my slug is not detecting the usb disk, I had debian running on it without any issues and suddenly it won't take the disk. can you help. Apr 20 15:48:35 you mentioned something about access being too sloW? Apr 20 15:49:02 I find it wierd. Is the led controlled by firmware/software or by hardware? Apr 20 15:49:11 can someone help. Apr 20 15:49:48 made sure the drive is working? Apr 20 15:49:49 it's a 400gd freecom disk, from PC World of all places, the unsling failed to that drive, well it says it works but then won't boot from it, Apr 20 15:49:59 the disk is fine, its a seagate 180 gb external harddisk, and its comming up fine on on my thinkpad. Apr 20 15:50:23 I can see the partitions and its working fine with the notebook. Apr 20 15:50:29 once up and running the slug see's the disk fine Apr 20 15:51:17 no, the slug does not detect the harddisk at all. the led indicator does not glow. I tried putting in a usb thumb drive and the slug does'nt see it as well. Apr 20 15:52:24 both: you people better address your messages :D it seems..lots of potential for confusion Apr 20 15:52:52 drif: sorry for that. you are right, its confusing me too. Apr 20 15:53:04 drif:sorry Apr 20 15:53:31 drif:should I explain again. Apr 20 15:53:56 I have a slight feeling you both should Apr 20 15:54:28 damski: 18:50 < Damski_TPC> once up and running the slug see's the disk fine <- so does it get recognized at all or not? Apr 20 15:55:03 drif:yes, once running it access the disk as I'd expect Apr 20 15:55:14 damski: so the problem is? Apr 20 15:55:17 drif:So, my slug was working fine running debian. Once I accidently unplugged the disk while the slug was up and running from then on the slug does not see the disk. Apr 20 15:55:20 drif:I'll leave you to try to help justin007, I'm going to go tinker, Apr 20 15:57:10 damski, laters Apr 20 15:59:08 can someone help. should I explain more. sorry for the confusion. Apr 20 16:00:38 is the led controlled by hardware or by firmware/software. the led for disk1 and disk2 does not glow. Is is bricked :-( Apr 20 16:00:42 justin: my experience doesn't cover debian on nslu2 - just unslung and of course linux and and debian in general Apr 20 16:00:57 when I get my next drive I'll install debian for sure Apr 20 16:01:09 -and Apr 20 16:01:40 drif:that is fine, I were just wondering why the led does not glow when I put in a disk. It does not glow whether I put in a thumb drive or an external disk with external power. Apr 20 16:02:14 are you able to redo everything? Apr 20 16:02:19 drif: In india and the place I stay I can not get the slug replaced or repaired :-( Apr 20 16:03:06 I have not tried to redo everything, because I thought I would firefight and try get it working, I had an issue previously which I could resolve. hope to do that this time around too. Apr 20 16:03:31 I hope the unit isn't bricked Apr 20 16:03:38 redoing is not that good an option considering that installing debian from internet is a costly option here. Apr 20 16:03:58 :-\ yeah, there's also that aspect Apr 20 16:04:31 which some of us have forgot somewhere along the time Apr 20 16:04:32 the led has to blink right? its in hardware and it ought to detect the disk being plugged. am I right? Apr 20 16:04:43 :-) Apr 20 16:05:14 we here are on that path too.. mabe in an year I can forget too. Apr 20 16:06:23 what do you think. have you come accross the led not blinking case on irc or anywhere else. I googled, but fail to find such a case. Apr 20 16:06:32 Only the network LED on the NSLU2 is hardware controlled. Apr 20 16:07:26 The Disk LEDs don't even work at all on some operating systems; they work incorrectly (wrong LED) on others, and if they work only work late after the boot. Apr 20 16:08:00 In early boot stages, some OS will use the disk LEDs as additional LEDs to indicate boot status, but they do not represent the actual presence or activity to/from disks. Apr 20 16:09:15 ok, so since I have installed debian and the installation is on the disk. what happens when the disk is not detected. what state the slug goes into? Apr 20 16:10:07 drif:Thanks for earlier, I've had a tinker, it seems now to be working would you believe, the shared folders are messed up, but I think I can sort that out, Apr 20 16:11:10 good the hear Apr 20 16:11:37 justin007: that's a question best asked on the debian arm channel. I seem to recall that unlike Unslung and OpenSlug (SlugOS), debian did not have a firmware recovery means or mechanism. Apr 20 16:13:15 the=to :D Apr 20 16:15:07 mwester:will do that. thank you. So if the installion media for debian slug fails, its screwed?? Apr 20 16:36:51 drif:all sorted, thanks for your help, Apr 20 23:04:53 guys, what is the preferred lightweight cmdline bittorrent client to use with debian/arm ? Apr 20 23:05:28 I am familiar with mldonkey but it sucks the life out of my nslu2 with debian/etch Apr 20 23:14:56 ctorrent is pretty ok Apr 20 23:16:37 thanks Apr 20 23:16:46 is rtorrent any different ? Apr 20 23:17:09 not many has had success with it - as far as I know Apr 20 23:18:54 ok .thanks Apr 20 23:19:45 I had strange probs with trackers not getting connected Apr 20 23:19:49 last time I tried Apr 20 23:26:56 I haven't tried rtorrent on my slug yet, but it's a really simple to use client. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 21 02:59:57 2007
