**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jun 29 02:59:56 2007 Jun 29 07:06:53 hi Jun 29 14:21:43 al LordTaran le gustan los hombres Jun 29 14:22:10 * methhhp_ mmmmmmm Jun 29 14:51:04 > I need some help with my NSLU2, because I can not get the IP address to access the device Jun 29 14:53:47 what have you tried? Jun 29 15:00:29 Tickey: you can use nmap to locate your device Jun 29 15:27:46 pierrelux, caplink811_log I tried to reset to factory setting but I do not see any LED blinking or any beep Jun 29 15:28:24 I did ping 192.168.1.77 but I get request time out Jun 29 15:29:58 I don't have any drive connected to the device and I don't know why I can't rest to factory settings this device Jun 29 15:30:49 I have Ready/Status LED and Ethernet LED both bright green Jun 29 15:31:29 I checked the network cable as well Jun 29 15:48:39 hello? Jun 29 15:50:16 your workstation is in the 192.168.1.0 network segment, too? Jun 29 15:51:34 caplink811_log: thank you for responding Jun 29 15:51:37 yes Jun 29 15:51:47 my computer is 192.168.1.20 Jun 29 15:53:25 subnetmask: 255.255.255.0 Jun 29 15:53:37 Default gateway: 192.168.1.1 Jun 29 15:57:36 k, this should work. is there a dhcp server in your network, or do you setup the ip adresses manualy? Jun 29 15:58:41 I tried DHCP then manually and then PC to NSLU2 (manually assign IP address) Jun 29 15:58:48 none of them worked Jun 29 16:05:53 did you try to ping the ip adress which was owned by the nslu before you reset it to the default? Jun 29 16:06:08 yes Jun 29 16:06:59 why I can't reset this device to factory settings? Jun 29 16:09:48 assuming, that you push the reset button ~5secs Jun 29 16:09:59 yes I did Jun 29 16:10:19 I read on linksys.com support that you have to hold the button for 10 sec Jun 29 16:11:50 should work too Jun 29 16:12:11 is not working with this NSLU2 Jun 29 16:12:31 what else can I do? Jun 29 16:12:36 What firmware is installed on that NSLU2?? Jun 29 16:12:48 what would you achieve? Jun 29 16:12:52 hello mwester Jun 29 16:12:55 When was it last working? Jun 29 16:13:03 2 days ago Jun 29 16:13:03 What have you done since then? Jun 29 16:13:09 What firmware? Jun 29 16:13:10 I had the last unSlug Jun 29 16:13:20 6.8 I think Jun 29 16:13:44 Ok. And how did it get into this state? Were you attempting to re-install, or reflash? Jun 29 16:15:02 I tryed to reflash but it gived me an error message and did not let me so I quit trying but was still working Jun 29 16:15:33 and then I had this device at work trying to connect to my work pc and did not work anymore Jun 29 16:16:08 I had unpug external hard drive and I can't find IP address nor reset to factory settings Jun 29 16:16:27 both Staus and Ethernet LED are bright green Jun 29 16:16:57 Does it beep at some point after it powers up? Jun 29 16:17:44 no beep Jun 29 16:18:03 just the lights Jun 29 16:19:13 Ok. Follow the wiki article to reflash the unit using the reset button method. Try just reflashing either Unslung 6.8 or the Linksys R63 firmware, and see if that works. Jun 29 16:20:06 mwester I can't go into the device Jun 29 16:20:11 Note that the reset method says to watch for a color change on the LED; recent reports have been that the color change is VERY subtle in newer slugs and that dimming room lighting has been necessary to see the color change. Jun 29 16:20:26 Tickey: the reset button method does not require that you get into the device. Jun 29 16:20:40 do you have a link? Jun 29 16:20:41 pls Jun 29 16:20:51 Search is your freind, Tickey Jun 29 16:22:05 thank you mwester Jun 29 16:22:11 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheResetButtonToEnterUpgradeMode Jun 29 16:23:06 Most every problem has been encountered by someone already; being able to search and find info on the wiki will save much time and trouble! Jun 29 16:24:02 If you can get the unit into upgrade mode (blinking red/green LED), then you know that the bootloader is working. Jun 29 16:24:38 Next is to use upslug2 on Linux, or sercomm on Windows, to reflash the unit -- if those utilities can see it, then the network hardware is working from PC to router to NSLU2 Jun 29 16:25:20 Once reflashed, we will know that the firmware is good, then boot up with NO DISK OR NETWORK, and listen for a beep. If it beeps, all is well. Jun 29 16:25:42 Then you can plug it in, it will be on 192.168.1.77 and you can reconfigure it as you wish. Jun 29 16:26:38 If it does not beep, then something failed during the boot. Follow the Linksys instructions to reset to factory settings and see if that works. Jun 29 16:27:13 If that doesn't work, the next step is to follow the wiki article on resetting the sysconf data (do so VERY carefully), then reboot. Jun 29 16:27:23 Many options and things to try :) Jun 29 16:29:07 thank you mwester Jun 29 16:47:32 mwester very cool!!! Jun 29 16:47:48 is working again! Jun 29 16:48:00 Thnak you! Jun 29 16:48:08 Thank you! Jun 29 19:37:56 I'm running debian on my nslu2 - I presume there is no reason why I cannot mount dirs that are on the slug as remote locations on other devices, and stream the media in there? Jun 29 20:11:19 Lunar_Lamp, it should run just like a linux/debian pc Jun 29 20:11:32 re3dyb0y, yeah, just realised that, lol Jun 29 20:11:36 Silly question :-) Jun 29 20:11:42 heh Jun 29 20:11:54 I was more wondering if it was fast enough to be of any use. Jun 29 20:11:59 I was more wondering if it was fast enough to be of any use. Jun 29 21:24:44 hi, I try to install Debian/NSLU2, unfortunately, the install process failed Jun 29 21:25:15 in my /var/log/syslog, I've found that initramfs is the problem (cfr http://rafb.net/p/Izaiu281.html) Jun 29 21:25:35 can you tell how I can solve this problem Jun 29 21:51:08 How did it fai? just freeze during the install? Jun 29 21:57:50 Lunar_Lamp: I see an error message, and I can't go to the next step of the process Jun 29 21:57:57 no freeze Jun 29 21:58:05 Hmm, ok, what happens if you try runnign it again? Jun 29 21:59:03 same problem ;( Jun 30 00:43:15 * methhhp_ a descansar que me lo merezco :D Jun 30 01:17:39 just because you *can* run gnome on an nslu2 doesn't mean you *should* Jun 30 01:57:11 well, i got my brand new slug installed with 6.8, enabled telnet, and got told i was running from the flash. not sure what i am missing yet, but i am still searching **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jun 30 02:59:57 2007
