Jul 17 03:09:04 <EnterUSerName> hjey
Jul 17 03:09:08 <EnterUSerName> im putting gentoo on one of my slugs
Jul 17 03:09:09 <EnterUSerName> woo hoo :)
Jul 17 03:10:36 <EnterUSerName> darn
Jul 17 03:10:40 <EnterUSerName> i cross compiled the wrong one
Jul 17 03:10:45 <EnterUSerName> not ARM but ARMEB :(
Jul 17 03:10:50 <EnterUSerName> i was suppose to do armeb..
Jul 17 03:48:04 <EnterUSerName> hi all
Jul 17 03:48:08 <EnterUSerName> why do i have to run ipkg update
Jul 17 03:50:36 <mwester> because the instructions say so?
Jul 17 03:51:04 <mwester> If you have no intention of installing software beyond the flash image, then don't run ipkg update.
Jul 17 03:51:59 <EnterUSerName> no i dont want the database stored i want just download the packages manually
Jul 17 03:52:10 <EnterUSerName> to save on flash storage
Jul 17 03:52:21 <mwester> The database isn't stored in flash
Jul 17 04:01:03 <EnterUSerName> ok then why when i do an ipkg upgrade
Jul 17 04:01:07 <EnterUSerName> it fulls the table..
Jul 17 04:01:15 <EnterUSerName> is there a setting i can put in ipkg.conf?
Jul 17 04:06:22 <mwester> Unslung refuses to let you use ipkg until it has external storage for the data structures.  SlugOS should be doing the same.  What firmware are you using?
Jul 17 04:07:05 <EnterUSerName> 3.10
Jul 17 04:07:12 <EnterUSerName> im trying to download the new kernel
Jul 17 04:07:26 <EnterUSerName> and i have a file system mounted /mnt/gentoo im doing this cuz i need nfs/cifs
Jul 17 04:07:29 <EnterUSerName> modules
Jul 17 04:07:35 <EnterUSerName> and i was going to copy it to my /mnt/gentoo
Jul 17 04:07:42 <EnterUSerName> but ipkg upgrade craps out for disk full
Jul 17 04:08:44 <mwester> Hmmm... ok.  Perhaps there's no checking for SlugOS -- ipgk update is not supported if you haven't done a "turnup" to external storage.
Jul 17 04:08:52 <EnterUSerName> hmm
Jul 17 04:09:03 <EnterUSerName> oh ok
Jul 17 04:09:18 <mwester> You'll have to manually install, assuming there's room.
Jul 17 04:11:00 <mwester> The ipkg downloaded package lists are in /var in SlugOS; I'm pretty sure that's all in memory with the latest builds, but obviously not for SlugOS 3.10.
Jul 17 04:11:32 <EnterUSerName> where cani get the latest build
Jul 17 04:11:43 <EnterUSerName> im on the site now and id ownloaded the latest build it didnt appear to have it
Jul 17 04:12:04 <EnterUSerName> 3.10 is latest build
Jul 17 04:12:09 <EnterUSerName> unless i compile it my self..
Jul 17 04:13:30 <EnterUSerName> nevermind
Jul 17 04:13:36 <mwester> Depends on what you're doing.  If you want stability, 3.10 is pretty good.  If you want bleeding (painful) edge, build it!  :)
Jul 17 04:13:41 <EnterUSerName> ya
Jul 17 04:13:46 <EnterUSerName> i think im going to end up doing that with gentoo
Jul 17 04:13:53 <EnterUSerName> i was trying to do it without recompiling the kernel
Jul 17 04:14:10 <mwester> Gentoo is just a rootfs; I thought it uses the SlugOS kernel build?
Jul 17 04:14:15 <EnterUSerName> ya it does
Jul 17 04:14:30 <EnterUSerName> But I need those modules
Jul 17 04:15:23 <mwester> They're in the feeds, download and install manually as you originally planned, and it should be good.
Jul 17 04:16:36 * mwester uses kexec on the latest SlugOS build to boot from flash, load a different kernel from NFS or TFTP, and boot from an NFS partition...
Jul 17 04:17:50 <EnterUSerName> heh ok
Jul 17 04:18:57 <EnterUSerName> how do you tell it to install from a file
Jul 17 04:19:02 <EnterUSerName> instead of it downloading it
Jul 17 04:19:05 <EnterUSerName> im giving the full path..
Jul 17 04:22:55 <EnterUSerName> hi
Jul 17 04:22:59 <EnterUSerName> My system
Jul 17 04:23:05 <EnterUSerName> keeps trying to download the ipkg
Jul 17 04:23:08 <EnterUSerName> when im giving it the path
Jul 17 04:23:09 <EnterUSerName> whats going on there
Jul 17 04:24:21 <mwester> ipkg install ./long-untypeable-filename.ipk
Jul 17 04:25:02 <mwester> Or is it downloading a dependency?
Jul 17 04:25:41 <EnterUSerName> no
Jul 17 04:25:45 <EnterUSerName> i did that..
Jul 17 04:25:50 <EnterUSerName> still doesnt appear to be working
Jul 17 04:26:48 <EnterUSerName> it says this..
Jul 17 04:26:51 <EnterUSerName> Clearing state_want and state_flag for pkg=kernel-image-2.6.16 (arch_priority=0 flag=16 want=2)
Jul 17 04:27:32 <mwester> that's all?
Jul 17 04:27:38 <EnterUSerName> ya then says run ipkg update
Jul 17 04:27:57 <mwester> kernel-image is an empty package; what are you trying to install?
Jul 17 04:28:39 <EnterUSerName> darn
Jul 17 04:28:44 <EnterUSerName> sigh
Jul 17 04:29:04 <EnterUSerName> http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugos-lag/cross/3.10-beta/kernel-dev_2.6.16-r6.6_ixp4xxle.ipk
Jul 17 04:29:10 <EnterUSerName> i wget that
Jul 17 04:29:19 <EnterUSerName> and then i go ipkg install ./
Jul 17 04:29:57 <EnterUSerName> it keeps downloading it..
Jul 17 04:30:10 <EnterUSerName> is there a way i can say look ni a specific directory for ipkg"?
Jul 17 04:30:34 <EnterUSerName> hmm i can specify tmp dir
Jul 17 04:30:36 <EnterUSerName> mayueb that'll be easier
Jul 17 04:31:11 <mwester> I take that back; I think that has a kernel image in it.  But no modules.
Jul 17 04:31:48 <mwester> You need to name the .ipk file for ipkg.  So you would wget that file, then type:
Jul 17 04:32:10 <mwester> ipkg install ./kernel-dev_2.6.16-r6.6_ixp4xxle.ipk
Jul 17 04:32:32 <EnterUSerName> ya i did that it was downloading the files.
Jul 17 04:34:06 <mwester> Well, in any case, that'll get you just the kernel -- you wanted the kernel modules, no?
Jul 17 04:34:31 <EnterUSerName> tya i need both
Jul 17 04:34:32 <EnterUSerName> :)
Jul 17 04:34:44 <mwester> You already have the kernel -- it's in flash.
Jul 17 04:34:48 <EnterUSerName> its an older kernel
Jul 17 04:34:53 <EnterUSerName> that is in 3.10 beta
Jul 17 04:35:18 <EnterUSerName> i think the tmpdir
Jul 17 04:35:22 <EnterUSerName> might have fixed my problem
Jul 17 04:35:27 <EnterUSerName> its still downloading
Jul 17 04:35:32 <EnterUSerName> but it has romo :)
Jul 17 04:35:51 <mwester> The kernel flashed with OpenSlug 3.10 should be the same one in the feeds as you highlighted above -- otherwise the modules wouldn't match.
Jul 17 04:36:25 <EnterUSerName> ya thats the problem
Jul 17 04:36:30 <EnterUSerName> i have to downlaod the new kernel
Jul 17 04:36:34 <EnterUSerName> and then downlaod the modules
Jul 17 04:36:35 <mwester> So which kernel do you want,then?
Jul 17 04:36:41 * mwester is confused now
Jul 17 04:36:43 <EnterUSerName> ok
Jul 17 04:36:58 <EnterUSerName> the problem is the kernel doesnt match the modules in the 3.10beta
Jul 17 04:37:02 <EnterUSerName> directory
Jul 17 04:37:05 <EnterUSerName> so i download the new kernel
Jul 17 04:37:08 <EnterUSerName> which is now install
Jul 17 04:37:13 <EnterUSerName> and now im downloading the modules
Jul 17 04:37:24 <mwester> What kernel doesn't match???
Jul 17 04:37:35 <EnterUSerName> the original one on the web site
Jul 17 04:37:39 <EnterUSerName> umm
Jul 17 04:37:46 <EnterUSerName> that was on the openslug-3.10bin
Jul 17 04:37:52 <mwester> Ok.  Let me try again again :)
Jul 17 04:38:16 <EnterUSerName> huh? :)
Jul 17 04:38:27 <EnterUSerName> ok steps ive doen
Jul 17 04:38:34 <EnterUSerName> Download the open slug firmware
Jul 17 04:38:36 <mwester> Are you saying that you flashed OpenSlug 3.10 with firmware from the download site, but the kernel in that firmware image doesn't match the feeds for OpenSlug 3.10?
Jul 17 04:38:41 <EnterUSerName> ya
Jul 17 04:39:48 <mwester> The feeds are supposed to be frozen, and match the released firmware exactly -- that sounds like a problem with the feeds.
Jul 17 04:40:05 <EnterUSerName> maybe im looking atr the wrong directory????
Jul 17 04:40:07 <mwester> What module did you install, and what was the error message you got?
Jul 17 04:40:14 <EnterUSerName> well it just downloads it
Jul 17 04:40:22 <EnterUSerName> it doesnt use the one on the hard drive
Jul 17 04:40:30 <EnterUSerName> its actually installing
Jul 17 04:40:40 <EnterUSerName> thi sis the directory im using
Jul 17 04:40:43 <EnterUSerName> http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugos-lag/cross/3.10-beta/
Jul 17 04:40:47 <EnterUSerName> anyway i just installed the latest kernel :)
Jul 17 04:40:50 <EnterUSerName> on thre
Jul 17 04:41:26 <mwester> What module did you encounter the error on?
Jul 17 04:42:27 <EnterUSerName> None of them are giving me errors but there compiling for the recent kernel in that directory
Jul 17 04:42:32 <mwester> I'm still not sure that we're talking about the same thing, but I'll make a note to do a new install of 3.10, and test the installation of that same kernel module ipkg to make sure the feeds aren't damaged.  I just need to know what module gave you the error.
Jul 17 04:42:57 <EnterUSerName> Oh.. no problem i just couldnt find the right kernel for the module
Jul 17 04:43:07 <mwester> But that makes no sense.
Jul 17 04:43:09 <EnterUSerName> ok
Jul 17 04:43:17 <mwester> You shouldn't be changing the kernel for any reason.
Jul 17 04:43:21 <EnterUSerName> oh
Jul 17 04:43:30 <EnterUSerName> ok
Jul 17 04:43:32 <mwester> The modules should match the kernel.
Jul 17 04:43:39 <EnterUSerName> hrm
Jul 17 04:43:54 <EnterUSerName> maybe it did lol
Jul 17 04:43:57 <EnterUSerName> nevermind
Jul 17 04:44:07 <EnterUSerName> i think it is matching the kernel
Jul 17 04:44:19 <EnterUSerName> i think i had a problem a long time ago doing it and now there is no problem
Jul 17 04:44:23 <EnterUSerName> sorry :)
Jul 17 04:44:30 <EnterUSerName> but i still dont know why it is stilld ownloading it
Jul 17 04:44:31 <mwester> Ok...
Jul 17 04:45:40 <EnterUSerName> sorry for the confusion :)
Jul 17 04:46:23 <EnterUSerName> So back to the original problem, any idea why it keeps downloading...
Jul 17 04:46:28 <EnterUSerName> when i specify the ipkg
Jul 17 04:46:53 <mwester> Nope.  You might search the mailing list archives to see if anyone else ran into this problem.
Jul 17 04:47:16 <EnterUSerName> ok well sorry for all the trouble and thank you for your help
Jul 17 04:47:29 <mwester> np!
Jul 17 04:47:31 <EnterUSerName> i have a debian slug so even though im making these mistakes :)
Jul 17 04:47:36 <EnterUSerName> im trying to make a gentoo slug now :)
Jul 17 09:07:28 <norm_> hi
Jul 17 09:07:42 <norm_> what's the /opt dir used for on openslug systems?
Jul 17 09:07:55 <norm_> is that where optware packages go?
Jul 17 17:56:07 <ch4os_> i don't know if its proper place for such question, but i have small problem with debian installer, it wont detect my hd, but dmesg shows my drive proper detected (with 4 partitions), anyone had similar problem ?
Jul 17 18:14:07 <ch4os_> hmm, it works know :P i dont know how
Jul 17 23:25:00 <EnterUserName> hey all
Jul 17 23:25:06 <EnterUserName> anyone here using gentoo slug with glib library?
Jul 17 23:25:29 <EnterUserName> what compiler are you suing im trying to use crossdev.. and it keeps crapping out does glibc / gcc / binutils /kernel all need to be the same?
Jul 17 23:26:26 <EnterUserName> will 3.4.6 work with 3.4.5?
