**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Aug 14 02:59:56 2007 Aug 14 03:04:04 interesting.. my unslung web interface stopped working Aug 14 03:07:18 I bet I killed the command that loads it.. I wonder how to restart it with out rebooting Aug 14 03:12:38 I guess I should try rebooting heh Aug 14 04:44:17 I hope my user password saves from now on Aug 14 04:44:23 reboots are always so scary Aug 14 04:44:42 so far I've had to edit passwd every time I reboot Aug 14 04:47:19 yay, SCO stock is down 71% :D Aug 14 04:53:18 heh Aug 14 05:09:46 solarbaby: then you're doing something wrong. Aug 14 05:10:50 Did you use the Linksys GUI to change create your account and change your password? If not, you'll probably lose the changes... Aug 14 05:11:25 Hmm Im pretty sure I did yes Aug 14 05:11:40 we'll see the next time I reboot :) Aug 14 05:13:11 is it possible to umount a drive or is the problem that its always busy? Aug 14 05:13:53 Which drive? and how was it formatted? Aug 14 05:14:13 its a fat16/32 drive that was not formatted with unslung Aug 14 05:16:19 Well, then why not use the utility that comes with the Linksys NSLU2? It's on the CD, and installs to the tooltray -- "StorageLink" or something. It has a menu option to "Safely unplug disk" (or similar wording), which will cause the Linksys fw to unmount the FAT device. Aug 14 05:17:03 thats a good idea.. though I wanted to do it in command line.. and it keeps telling me the device is busy Aug 14 05:17:22 Yeah, it's exported via samba, so it's probably busy. Aug 14 05:18:09 oh that makes sense Aug 14 05:35:49 in redhat I think I remember a utility that allowed me to turn services on and off.. start and stop.. is there a utility for unslung like that? Aug 14 05:43:40 brb Aug 14 07:37:11 I have installed the 2.6 kernel on unslung 6.8 but i keeps booting the 2.4 kernel, Where on the nslu2 is this link located or is this booted from the flash image? Aug 14 08:13:42 whats the defualt password afte installing deb and trying to ssh in to in using root? Aug 14 08:19:15 you set that in the installation, right? Aug 14 08:20:31 haha i didnt :S Aug 14 08:23:20 it's a bad idea to skip that.. maybe it's blank.. if that's even possible Aug 14 08:24:15 its not blank :P Aug 14 08:25:19 but i was thinking, there is file at the harddrive whit the passwords right? if i connect the usb to my comp i should be able to change it, or set one if there is noting there? Aug 14 08:26:58 http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/root.htm Aug 14 08:29:05 no of those opptions is possible on nslu2? Aug 14 08:30:50 mmm guess not Aug 14 08:31:04 mount it on another machine then Aug 14 08:31:31 but isnt there a file whit password on the usb disk since the root system is on it Aug 14 08:31:53 yes, /etc/passwd Aug 14 08:32:30 and root password should beable to change there? Aug 14 08:32:45 passwords for all user accounts are there Aug 14 08:32:49 ok Aug 14 08:33:40 u can mount usb disk on your, and chroot into nslu2 /, and then change password Aug 14 08:33:45 i think it'll work Aug 14 08:34:02 s/on your/on your pc Aug 14 08:37:18 mm, no Aug 14 08:37:29 it's not stored there Aug 14 08:38:03 connectiong it to my comp and looking at the content, im starting to think that debian installation didnt even erase the previuse files, from unslung installation Aug 14 08:38:35 it's in /etc/shadow Aug 14 08:39:06 with the password being just an x in the passwd file Aug 14 08:39:29 starting to hate debian :D wiie :D Aug 14 08:39:43 5 time a charm? Aug 14 08:39:53 worked first time for me Aug 14 08:40:56 but I partitioned the disk on another machine before intalling Aug 14 08:40:59 +s Aug 14 08:42:40 i did the partion in deb installation Aug 14 08:42:52 why didnt that work :( Aug 14 08:42:55 sux Aug 14 08:43:22 I did that too, on a usb flash disk.. worked fine again :) Aug 14 08:43:51 haha, dont say that :P will soon start to cry :D Aug 14 08:44:17 everything just works for Hideki :) Aug 14 08:45:19 :P Aug 14 09:42:12 pjanzen, the 2nd one Aug 14 10:08:32 someone that can help mee whit debian installer :P like a talk throw :D have done it several times now :S dont know what im doing wrong :( Aug 14 10:26:21 This whole not being able to retain passwords after a reboot has got me so damn pissed in unslung im ready to give it up Aug 14 10:27:12 I've spent hours researching and I can't even log in as a simple none root user Aug 14 10:28:13 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ChangePasswordsFromTheCommandLine this doesn't seem to help with anything thats not root Aug 14 10:39:49 I just figured out one of the problems.. in passwd there were too many ::: in the user name line.. the system had to have put them there too Aug 14 10:40:31 Solarbaby: If you have created a user via the GUI change file /share/flash/conf/passwd with vi and set the shell to /bin/sh or something. This is default set to /dev/null Aug 14 10:45:29 guess there is noone wanting to have a little help session whit me :P really screew up every installation of debian :D Aug 14 10:46:46 digii what have u done ?:P Aug 14 10:47:18 last time installing it i didnt screw the ip up atleast :D Aug 14 10:48:03 just coulnt ssh in to it and the usb disk wasnt formated :( Aug 14 10:48:16 but i could ping it :D Aug 14 10:48:24 uh Aug 14 10:48:42 hehe Aug 14 10:49:00 and what's happening when u are trying to connect through ssh ?

Aug 14 10:53:55 heh, so the best way for you will be new installation :) Aug 14 10:54:19 and don't forget about password!:P Aug 14 10:54:22 have nooo ide :p Aug 14 10:54:34 yea :P Aug 14 10:55:03 configuring network-console menu, Start menu or start shell? :S Aug 14 10:55:10 menu Aug 14 10:55:14 have always taken manu Aug 14 10:55:17 menu Aug 14 10:58:47 Dont forget this issue with debian install http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/DebianInstallerDisconnectsSSH Aug 14 10:58:59 then select the 5 modules, ext, partman scsi and so on right? Aug 14 10:59:14 yeah Aug 14 11:02:18 partion disk, take e "guided - use entire disk" or "manual" ? Aug 14 11:03:14 I always use manual, but guided works to... Aug 14 11:03:47 if you choose manual you can set specific sizes to your partitions Aug 14 11:04:10 hmm yea Aug 14 11:04:19 dont i need to formate the fisk first? Aug 14 11:04:23 disk* Aug 14 11:04:56 oh i just checked and i have used "Use entrire disk Aug 14 11:05:11 guieded? Aug 14 11:05:16 guided* Aug 14 11:05:22 No you first create partions, then you format those Aug 14 11:05:27 ok Aug 14 11:05:59 did u use guided - use entire disk? Aug 14 11:06:06 yeah Aug 14 11:06:13 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on Aug 14 11:06:21 /dev/sda2 292G 158G 120G 57% / Aug 14 11:06:31 which is my main part Aug 14 11:06:58 maybe the eaesyest to use Guided - use entire disk Aug 14 11:07:13 atleast for me that ceeps screwing things up :P Aug 14 11:07:18 yeah, You can always re flash and do it differntly Aug 14 11:07:29 haha :D 6 time a charm then :D Aug 14 11:07:41 : Aug 14 11:07:43 :) Aug 14 11:07:54 ok now that :D Aug 14 11:08:16 Did it create a swap space aswell? Aug 14 11:08:20 have block0-5 and scsi1 250gb Aug 14 11:08:34 you need one atleast 250mb Aug 14 11:08:40 think im at that place now :S Aug 14 11:08:59 i partion 250mb of my scsi1 for swap? Aug 14 11:09:33 yeah, or on the HD Aug 14 11:09:37 doesnt matter Aug 14 11:09:53 hu? :S Aug 14 11:10:14 you are following this install guide rigth? http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Aug 14 11:10:57 If you have a USB stick with only 1 GB the current version of the installer will by default create a swap partition that is too small and your system will run out of memory during the installation and fail (the symptom of this is that your SSH connection will be closed). On such systems, you therefore have to manually partition your hard drive instead of using the guided partition option. Make sure that you have at least a swap partition wi Aug 14 11:11:33 so i need to make a partion for swap that about 256 - 300 mb? Aug 14 11:11:42 yeah Aug 14 11:12:50 selection me usb disk for partition i got "all files in on partition "recommended for new users" Aug 14 11:12:51 and Aug 14 11:13:35 "separate /home partion" and "Separete /home, /usr , /var, and /tmp partions Aug 14 11:13:42 whats that all about :P Aug 14 11:14:53 yeah, when you have multiple disks you have have /home on a differant disk, when user put stuff on there home dir and it come to 100% full it will not crach your machine. Aug 14 11:15:11 sinds you only have 1 disk, it doenst matter Aug 14 11:15:42 all files in one partition then? Aug 14 11:15:53 yeah, that will work... Aug 14 11:16:02 ok =) Aug 14 11:16:49 hmm swap file gets automaticly only to 90mb Aug 14 11:17:07 need to resize it or remove it and make a new one? Aug 14 11:18:18 yeah you have to do that on a differant terminal Aug 14 11:18:34 hu? Aug 14 11:18:49 do i need to open a new termenal and redo it all? Aug 14 11:18:54 so ssh to you slug with putty or what ever you use Aug 14 11:19:21 oh you have alraady a second term open to you slug? Aug 14 11:19:32 nope Aug 14 11:19:59 Ok open on up and dont touch the first one untill the swap is 256 or bigger Aug 14 11:20:30 but then i open a new termenal Aug 14 11:20:37 yeah Aug 14 11:20:38 i get back to the point "start menu" Aug 14 11:20:49 and hafto go throw it all? Aug 14 11:20:56 on the second one you mean? Aug 14 11:21:02 yea Aug 14 11:21:36 have you read this http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/DebianInstallerDisconnectsSSH ? Aug 14 11:21:45 and if not, why not :) Aug 14 11:22:42 so if i had thosen to do it manuly i would not hafto open a second terminal Aug 14 11:22:44 ? Aug 14 11:22:58 yeah you would have ... :) Aug 14 11:23:58 hasto use Start shell this time :O Aug 14 11:24:07 yeah Aug 14 11:25:01 how do i use fdisk and so on Aug 14 11:25:13 have no idea what to do in there :P Aug 14 11:25:28 have you checked the link i send you ? Aug 14 11:26:13 yea Aug 14 11:26:26 mkswap /dev/ and then swapon /dev/ Aug 14 11:26:34 there is written what to do :) Aug 14 11:27:05 fisk -l /dev/sda ie: gives you Disk /dev/sda: 320.0 GB, 320072932864 bytes Aug 14 11:27:06 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 38913 cylinders Aug 14 11:27:06 Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Aug 14 11:27:06 Disk identifier: 0x0002a089 Aug 14 11:27:13 etc, etc.... Aug 14 11:27:21 most guides assume you know what you're doing :) Aug 14 11:27:41 maybe it's time to write a new guide Aug 14 11:27:47 yea but im not really :D Aug 14 11:28:01 hehe... Aug 14 11:28:08 need a linux for really nuubish dummies Aug 14 11:29:01 but at the First term, i now have a Primary and a logical partion Aug 14 11:29:10 that not complet yet Aug 14 11:29:12 logical? Aug 14 11:29:16 swap Aug 14 11:29:28 it says it logical :p Aug 14 11:29:31 the >256 should be swap Aug 14 11:29:38 the rest primary Aug 14 11:29:41 maybe it's vulcan Aug 14 11:30:38 but really... you should only have primary paritions Aug 14 11:30:45 i have Aug 14 11:30:52 and a logical for swap Aug 14 11:30:57 That depends on the layout of you system ... Aug 14 11:31:21 swap is swap which is nor logical or primary Aug 14 11:31:31 k Aug 14 11:31:31 no Aug 14 11:31:43 swap is just a partition type Aug 14 11:31:51 like ext3 Aug 14 11:32:19 but really :S what im am going to do :P havee gotten this far :D dont wanna quit now :D Aug 14 11:32:24 yeah, but once created with mkswap is not accessble anymore by normal users Aug 14 11:32:49 it is accessible, but doesn't have a filesystem you can use for anything Aug 14 11:32:57 k Aug 14 11:32:58 except swapping Aug 14 11:33:42 hoho dont forget the dummie oveer here :P Aug 14 11:33:49 anyway, digii , take your pick i guess Aug 14 11:34:10 take your pick for what? Aug 14 11:34:14 how u mean Aug 14 11:34:28 logical or primary you where still on about right? Aug 14 11:34:43 http://www.ahuka.com/other/partition.html Aug 14 11:35:03 hehe... i found this one ... http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Partition/ Aug 14 11:35:45 I'm sure there are thousands of sites where you can read about it Aug 14 11:36:04 ok but right now i havee 250gb ext3 and 90mb swap Aug 14 11:36:16 the 90mb swap is to small Aug 14 11:36:27 you have to repartion your disk again Aug 14 11:36:35 i guess the swap isnt enouge and need to resize it before using the second terminal? Aug 14 11:36:47 create a swap of 1G Aug 14 11:37:04 I do all that in the gnome partition editor Aug 14 11:37:23 much easier than gacking around with a terminal Aug 14 11:37:45 you can connect you USB disk to a different linux machine and do it there Aug 14 11:38:06 just disconnect the usb disk and conneect it to my comp? Aug 14 11:38:16 but i am unsure if you can continue from where you are right now. Aug 14 11:38:49 yeah, worst case you have to restart the slug and the installer will come back straight away Aug 14 11:39:11 dont need to upslug it again i hope :p Aug 14 11:39:15 no Aug 14 11:39:33 so i take the usb dusk to my comp and then? Aug 14 11:39:52 stick the usb connector in the comp Aug 14 11:39:57 :) Aug 14 11:40:22 yea :P but how and where is gnome partition :P Aug 14 11:40:55 then you use whatever tool you like to partion the disk and format the partions EXT3 except swap you format that swap Aug 14 11:41:13 no idea... i dont use gnome.... Aug 14 11:41:34 what do you use? Aug 14 11:41:35 but open a terminal, become root and try cfdisk Aug 14 11:41:38 any easy recommended partitioner then? Aug 14 11:42:19 the package name is gparted Aug 14 11:42:33 works just as well in kde Aug 14 11:45:26 i use fdisk, but i have jump images for my work station... Aug 14 11:45:41 wich is a total differant approch Aug 14 11:45:53 got Gparted running now Aug 14 11:46:00 kewl.... Aug 14 11:48:12 going for a smoke, brb Aug 14 11:49:19 whould i formate a swap file 1gb and the reest to ext3? Aug 14 11:49:36 sounds good Aug 14 11:49:50 1 GB is more than you need Aug 14 11:50:07 or maybe not.. I have no idea what you're going to run :) Aug 14 11:50:22 formating it to ext3 didnt work :( Aug 14 11:50:56 make sure it's not automounted Aug 14 11:55:04 formating a usb disk of 250gb will thakee a while right? =D Aug 14 11:55:25 oh finished :O Aug 14 11:56:09 Hideki: or pjanzen what now when i formated the disk to 1gig swap and the rest to ext3 Aug 14 11:56:16 using my own comp Aug 14 11:56:41 plug it back into the nslu Aug 14 11:57:55 done Aug 14 11:58:35 is it still running the installer? Aug 14 11:58:54 yea Aug 14 11:59:28 the teerminal is atleast up :S Aug 14 12:00:56 if you can return to the beginning of the partitioning, all will be ok.. if not, just reboot Aug 14 12:01:24 i can get to "debian installer main menu" Aug 14 12:01:31 where do i go from there? Aug 14 12:02:08 follow the directions Aug 14 12:02:47 hu? what directions? Aug 14 12:03:04 yeah, but if the installer says partion your disk skip that step, you just done that Aug 14 12:04:01 yea i can find my partions Aug 14 12:04:25 "finish partitioning and write changes to disk"? Aug 14 12:04:48 uhh, it sees your created partions ? Aug 14 12:04:58 no, just quit that .... Aug 14 12:05:03 that should work... Aug 14 12:05:15 what? Aug 14 12:05:20 what should i do then? Aug 14 12:05:32 go to the installer menu... Aug 14 12:05:37 eyae Aug 14 12:05:46 and install accourding the install guide...

Aug 14 12:09:16 it says " You need a root partition. please assign to the root mount point before continuing Aug 14 12:09:58 did you create a / partion ? Aug 14 12:10:02 = root Aug 14 12:10:10 / = root i mean Aug 14 12:10:31 when i partion the disk using my comp? Aug 14 12:10:48 yeah Aug 14 12:10:49 that's the ext3 you made.. you need to tell it to use that as root Aug 14 12:10:57 darn Aug 14 12:11:01 didnt do that Aug 14 12:11:21 you can do that in the menu you in right nowi think....

Aug 14 12:14:24 Connection to 192.168.0.143 closed. Aug 14 12:14:33 ok it is rebooring i think Aug 14 12:14:40 rebooting* Aug 14 12:14:54 let's hope it's not waiting for cousteau Aug 14 12:15:01 hehe.... Aug 14 12:15:22 hehe whata= Aug 14 12:15:37 if you install the internal serial port you can see what it's doing Aug 14 12:16:04 very convenient Aug 14 12:16:23 Do you have created a serial port on you box? Aug 14 12:16:31 yep Aug 14 12:16:32 dont think so :p Aug 14 12:16:39 i dont know Aug 14 12:16:39 :D Aug 14 12:16:40 and two extra usb ports Aug 14 12:16:44 kwel, yeah then you have console access ... Aug 14 12:17:04 ok, you solder them on the MB? Aug 14 12:17:23 yes, it requires hardware hacking Aug 14 12:17:38 yeah, not my cup of thea i must say....

Aug 14 12:18:24 it's not supposed to disconnect you Aug 14 12:18:46 it depends, if it is done it should reboot.... Aug 14 12:20:18 nope cant get to it Aug 14 12:20:32 i can ping it Aug 14 12:20:55 but not using ssh Aug 14 12:21:02 well , that leaves you with one option i guess and thats reboot the slug ... Aug 14 12:21:17 i think.... Aug 14 12:21:45 heehe Aug 14 12:22:07 worst case you have to install the base system... Aug 14 12:22:24 the hard part is done now ... Aug 14 12:23:07 This afthernoon i will go an flsh my 2d slug.... i already have on on DebianSlug Aug 14 12:23:50 aah Aug 14 12:23:51 gaah Aug 14 12:24:05 now i can get to she slug using ssh installer@ip Aug 14 12:24:26 and gets to the beginning of the installation again :( Aug 14 12:24:31 i hate myself soon Aug 14 12:24:59 i hate my self too..... and you, you and you :) Aug 14 12:25:10 i hate debian Aug 14 12:25:12 :P Aug 14 12:25:23 no ...jk.... Aug 14 12:25:29 i love deian... Aug 14 12:25:48 it's a proper os Aug 14 12:26:13 yeah i agree .... there is little that cant do with it ... Aug 14 12:26:59 i run 2 nslu2 1 deb and 1 unslung 6.8 and unslung is nice too but not half as nice as debian ... Aug 14 12:27:41 what should i do now? Aug 14 12:27:46 try to install it again? Aug 14 12:28:18 finish all steps in the installer and skip the partion part ... Aug 14 12:28:45 like i did last time only it disconnected from me? Aug 14 12:29:01 that should do the trick i guess, remeber installing the base system can take a long time, atleast 2 hours if i remeber correctly... Aug 14 12:29:28 open a differtn terminal and connect to it again and get a shell Aug 14 12:29:43 then do a fdisk -l /dev/sda Aug 14 12:30:18 but i didnt hafo do that if i partion it in gnome? Aug 14 12:30:42 true, but would like to know your swap size .... Aug 14 12:31:08 if it disconnects you makes me wonder if the swap is BIG enough Aug 14 12:31:55 I think I did go into the manual partitioning, but just made sure everything was ok there.. didn't change anything Aug 14 12:32:22 and what was / is the swap part size? Aug 14 12:33:56 my swap is 1.2gb :S Aug 14 12:34:06 thats enough ... Aug 14 12:34:07 or its 1.07 according to gnome Aug 14 12:34:14 and 1.2 according to deb installere Aug 14 12:34:41 it is bigger then 256mb and it is formatted and active ? Aug 14 12:35:04 active? Aug 14 12:35:27 yeah, do you have a second term open? Aug 14 12:35:38 what is that? Aug 14 12:35:54 open a new connection to the nslu2 Aug 14 12:36:08 just like you did with the install@ip Aug 14 12:36:16 or installer@ip Aug 14 12:36:17 mm Aug 14 12:36:24 and shell? Aug 14 12:36:24 and select open shell Aug 14 12:37:24 yes Aug 14 12:37:39 ok, type fdisk -l /dev/sda Aug 14 12:37:47 and that will print some stuff .... Aug 14 12:38:09 show us your stuff ! Aug 14 12:38:13 Device Boot Begin Start End Blocks Id System Aug 14 12:38:13 /dev/sda1 1 1 30261 243071451 83 Linux Native Aug 14 12:38:13 /dev/sda2 1024 30261 30401 1124550 82 Linux Swap Aug 14 12:38:26 kewl...

Aug 14 13:10:51 take the middle one? Aug 14 13:11:01 guess its names :S Aug 14 13:11:02 then either one would be fine Aug 14 13:11:42 I guess they're all 2.6.18 Aug 14 13:11:45 goes whit ti middle one then Aug 14 13:12:31 tool to use to generate boot initrd? initramfs-tools or yaird ? Aug 14 13:13:07 I didn't get those questions :) Aug 14 13:13:16 never heard about yaird Aug 14 13:13:19 strange :P Aug 14 13:13:23 initramfs-tools is standard Aug 14 13:13:31 take that on then :P Aug 14 13:15:10 yaird is newer and supposedly "better" Aug 14 13:15:59 darn :P Aug 14 13:16:20 well, I don't think it matters Aug 14 13:16:25 =) Aug 14 13:16:47 unless it's required for nslu2 Aug 14 13:17:34 o_O Aug 14 13:19:31 lets hope not :P Aug 14 13:19:41 98% finished :D Aug 14 13:23:48 hmm i got back to the installer main menu Aug 14 13:24:15 finish the installation or Set ut users and passwords? Aug 14 13:24:54 did you get to pick a root password? Aug 14 13:25:27 it's a must-do Aug 14 13:25:45 did not get to do that :D Aug 14 13:26:14 maybe at finish the installation? Aug 14 13:27:40 it _does_ need a picture book how-to :) Aug 14 13:27:50 yepp :P Aug 14 13:28:08 but i really didnt get any stuff to pic a pass Aug 14 13:28:38 but maybe at finish installation? it must hafto be the last step? :S Aug 14 13:28:56 I though you were at apoint like "Set up users and passwords?" Aug 14 13:29:00 +t Aug 14 13:29:12 no thats a opption Aug 14 13:29:20 im at debian installer main manu Aug 14 13:29:33 got back there Aug 14 13:29:35 sounds like a great option to me Aug 14 13:29:38 Can anyone give me the part number for the UK power supply for the NSLU2? Aug 14 13:30:04 yea but presser set users... nothing happens Aug 14 13:30:21 just gets back to installer main manu Aug 14 13:30:26 odd Aug 14 13:31:04 hehe Aug 14 13:31:11 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/PowerSupply Aug 14 13:31:49 oh, glorious greatness. Never occurred to me that there'd be info about this on the wiki. :) Aug 14 13:32:25 thanks! Aug 14 13:32:32 the wiki has lots of wonderful information, but finding it is a pain in the gack Aug 14 13:33:03 yeea Aug 14 13:33:47 grr. On the down side, it doesn't look like the UK power adapter is available separately (the US one is :( ) Aug 14 13:34:24 it's not a magic adapter Aug 14 13:35:15 ah, OK. When the wiki page says that the plug has to be "the correct size", is that a standard size? Aug 14 13:35:39 I know close to nothing about this sort of thing :) Aug 14 13:35:48 it's the "fat" standard size Aug 14 13:36:06 ah, cool. Then, I shall go off to the electronics shop :) Aug 14 13:36:30 I've seen "switchable" power supplies where you can alter the voltage they put out by turning a switch; would they be OK/ Aug 14 13:36:54 as long as it can output 5V Aug 14 13:37:01 superb. Aug 14 13:37:11 thanks for the remedial class in electrics. I appreciate these things :-) Aug 14 13:37:18 and enough current Aug 14 13:37:48 "enough" depends on how many disks you plan on powering through usb Aug 14 13:38:45 I've only got one disc at the moment and it's got its own power supply, so not too much of a worry thus far Aug 14 13:39:57 i really dont think i installation is normal :D Aug 14 13:40:24 wth is Select and install software, and some stuff about manage package handelere? :S Aug 14 13:42:06 you can install lots of stuff Aug 14 13:42:13 or do it later Aug 14 13:42:27 yea but it seems it requiring me to do it NOW :S Aug 14 13:42:37 cant get past it :P Aug 14 13:44:14 so do it :P Aug 14 14:01:56 digii, how is it going ? Aug 14 14:02:11 2 seke :D Aug 14 14:03:29 NOT very good Aug 14 14:04:18 hehe Aug 14 14:04:45 Why not ? Aug 14 14:05:32 cant set a root password Aug 14 14:05:46 huh? during install?

Aug 14 14:07:39 nope :/ Aug 14 14:07:50 hhmm Aug 14 14:08:37 weird shit dude.... Aug 14 14:08:53 haha yeea... Aug 14 14:09:35 when i press finish install, it just gets some "user-setups" and then its just quits Aug 14 14:09:45 and gets back to the manu Aug 14 14:09:47 menu Aug 14 14:10:45 have you created a normal user yet? Aug 14 14:11:28 havent been able to create anything :( Aug 14 14:12:16 hhmm, I just flashed my slug and i cannot connect to it anymore :) Aug 14 14:12:43 haha :D Aug 14 14:12:50 what does it say to u :P Aug 14 14:13:05 the slugs starting to fight back Aug 14 14:13:20 just 3 beeps .... tuut....tuut....tuut Aug 14 14:13:26 and thats it :) Aug 14 14:13:41 cant get it to it using ssh? :D Aug 14 14:14:37 yeah :) Aug 14 14:15:13 After you have flashed the debian-installer image, your NSLU2 will boot and start the Debian installer. Since the NSLU2 does not have any IO device, SSH will be used for the installation. The installer will bring up the network, start the OpenSSH server and you can then connect to the device using SSH. You have to wait approximately five minutes after the debian-installer firmware has been flashed before you can connect, but please be patie Aug 14 14:15:23 oh :) i was a bit fast i think :) Aug 14 14:15:53 soon the slugs will start to kill people in there sleep :P Aug 14 14:17:02 dog damn, what is wrong.....

Aug 14 15:54:15 u have= Aug 14 16:00:55 s Aug 14 16:53:19 toca reiniciar tras 63 dias en pie Aug 14 17:26:47 I've some trouble formatting an usb disk Aug 14 17:26:49 mke2fs 1.38 (30-Jun-2005) Aug 14 17:26:49 mke2fs: invalid blocks count - /dev/sdc5 Aug 14 17:27:35 I can mount the disk, so it's the correct device... but for some reason I cant format it Aug 14 17:28:04 cmd + attribs: mke2fs -t etx3 -j -L "MOVIES" /dev/sdc5 Aug 14 17:39:25 Check your partition tables. Aug 14 17:46:58 how do I do that? :) Aug 14 18:00:56 it seems to be read-only not matter what I do Aug 14 18:01:35 tried using fdisk but when trying to write the new table I get the msg: "Unable to write /dev/sdc" Aug 14 18:11:20 if checking the dmesg info, i saw the following: "sdc: Write Protect is on" Aug 14 18:13:09 On a brand-new nslu2 (with Linksys firmware -- will move to unslung once I've tested it :)), does it come up with a static IP (192.168.1.177) or DHCP by default? Aug 14 18:17:07 192.168.1.77 Aug 14 18:17:37 darn. So if my local network is 192.168.2.*, I'm going to need to bring myself up with a 192.168.1.* address to see it, aren't I? Aug 14 18:18:13 yup Aug 14 18:19:55 ok. off to test, which will break the connection, so cheers and goodbye :) Aug 14 18:20:10 read the docs :) Aug 14 18:20:20 it does come with docs Aug 14 18:20:27 the docs say; start up the Windows application, which will autodiscover it Aug 14 18:20:32 which is nfg from my Linux box ;0 Aug 14 18:20:39 hehe Aug 14 18:20:43 unless I missed some docs :) Aug 14 18:21:33 later. :) Aug 14 18:24:54 does anyone have experience with usb 2.0 drives that suddenly gets write protected? Aug 14 18:25:24 just "out of the blue", could write to it yesterday, today its write protected.. Aug 14 18:26:14 i've heard it can happen to flash drives (requires low level format to fix), bot never disks Aug 14 18:26:26 but even Aug 14 18:54:44 hmm, this is driving me crazy... if running fsck it dies after 3s: "Warning... fsck.ext3 for device /dev/sdc5 exited with signal 9." Aug 14 19:42:56 Hello everybody, I have just upgraded my nslu2 with the unslung firmware for the second time. Should i use usb1 or usb2 for the external flash "harddrive" I'm also connection a 300gib maxtor usb harddrive :) Aug 14 19:44:53 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/WhichUSBPortforUnslung6 Aug 14 19:45:02 Rule #1: The root device must be connected to USB Port 2. Aug 14 19:45:06 Exception to Rule #1: If the NSLU2 will have two natively-formatted devices (one on port #1, and the another on port #2), the root device should be the one connected to USB Port 1. Aug 14 19:45:17 Are you going to have 2 natively formatted hard drives? Aug 14 19:45:58 if you mean a 1gib ext3 flashdrive and a 300gib ext3 harddrive, then yes. Aug 14 19:46:02 I should use usb1? Aug 14 19:46:58 Thats 2 natively formatted hard drives Aug 14 19:47:02 So yes, port 1 Aug 14 19:47:10 I wonder how they managed to make the system so messed up in the first place... 2.4 kernel limitations? Aug 14 19:47:56 it works if you follow the howto's:p Aug 14 19:47:57 or because it mounts them without using UUID Aug 14 19:48:57 lol Aug 14 22:11:43 Can anyone here help me get Nano to work? I have every idea from http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Nano?from=Unslung.Nano. My problem is that when i want to start up nano, it just says: no such file or directory Aug 14 22:26:47 <|Lunar_Lamp|> Ice-Raven, what happens when you type "which nano"? Aug 14 22:28:58 nothing? Aug 14 22:29:17 i have read something about a /etc/profile Aug 14 22:29:29 but how do i make that file if i cant use nano? Aug 14 22:31:00 like this: Aug 14 22:31:02 My /etc/profile looks like this: Aug 14 22:31:02 export PATH=$PATH:/opt/sbin:/opt/bin Aug 14 22:31:02 export TERMINFO=/opt/share/terminfo Aug 14 22:31:02 export TERM=linux Aug 14 22:34:35 <|Lunar_Lamp|> Right Aug 14 22:34:49 <|Lunar_Lamp|> Ok Aug 14 22:34:51 <|Lunar_Lamp|> gah Aug 14 22:34:57 <|Lunar_Lamp|> something mental is going on in here for me Aug 14 22:35:09 <|Lunar_Lamp|> I seem to be whoising everyone somehow - apologies. Aug 14 22:35:35 <|Lunar_Lamp|> Right, well, it sounds like nano isn't in your path Ice-Raven (assuming you installed it). Aug 14 22:35:49 <|Lunar_Lamp|> We want to find out where nano is, and then make sure that is in your path, so: Aug 14 22:35:58 <|Lunar_Lamp|> find / -name nano Aug 14 22:36:22 <|Lunar_Lamp|> That is a command that will squirt out all the files called "nano" on your slug. Aug 14 22:36:28 <|Lunar_Lamp|> It may take a while to run though, so be patient. Aug 14 22:36:55 <|Lunar_Lamp|> (I'm assuming you're running unslung btw) Aug 14 22:37:21 <|Lunar_Lamp|> Once you find out the path to the nano program, e.g. /opt/bin/nano we can add that to your path. Aug 14 22:37:43 <|Lunar_Lamp|> If you have several matches, and aren't sure which one is correct, you can try entering the full path until you get the one that runs nano. Aug 14 22:38:38 <|Lunar_Lamp|> e.g. on my ubuntu laptop at the moment, I have nano files like: /usr/share/doc/nano and /bin/nano - if I type "/bin/nano" the nano program runs, if I type "/usr/share/doc/nano" I get an error message. Aug 14 22:39:22 <|Lunar_Lamp|> When you find the correct one, you want to add that directory, (e.g. /bin in my example) to your $PATH - which can be done via editing as you suggested earlier. Aug 14 22:39:39 ah Aug 14 22:39:41 tnx:D Aug 14 22:39:43 found it..hehe Aug 14 22:40:50 <|Lunar_Lamp|> I need to go to bed now, but hopefully what I've typed out should be enough to, if not 100% sort your problem, get you moving along so that you can solve it yourself without too much more hassle :-) Aug 14 22:42:49 it works now..just had to add TERM=vt100 Aug 14 22:42:52 and voila! Aug 14 22:43:00 gn8 |Lunar_Lamp| Aug 14 23:23:19 best torrentclient for unslung? Aug 14 23:23:32 i need good control of upload/download Aug 15 02:18:55 hi Aug 15 02:19:53 can anyone help me with something Aug 15 02:20:04 i can't telnet into redboot :'( Aug 15 02:20:34 192.168.0.1 doesn't work and i've tried it's usual ip: 192.168.1.100 Aug 15 02:22:00 anyone alive? Aug 15 02:22:26 maybe it changed back to its default ip which is 192.168.1.77 Aug 15 02:22:48 try to ping it Aug 15 02:23:07 well it's up and running now on 192.168.1.100 Aug 15 02:23:24 but the unslung readme says be sure that you can get into redboot before you try anything :S Aug 15 02:23:30 its running just no telnet huh? Aug 15 02:23:35 yup Aug 15 02:23:43 firmware: 2.3R73 Aug 15 02:23:44 brand new Aug 15 02:23:50 im not really sure what redboot is but I have installed unslung sucessfully Aug 15 02:23:59 oh Aug 15 02:24:02 was it easy? Aug 15 02:24:16 some of it was very easy.. some of it also needed to be documented more clearly Aug 15 02:24:23 ooh Aug 15 02:24:24 ok Aug 15 02:24:26 I struggled with a few things Aug 15 02:24:29 like what Aug 15 02:24:30 ? Aug 15 02:24:46 #1. plug in your primary OS drive to usb 2. Aug 15 02:24:53 format it using the web utility Aug 15 02:25:29 make sure to use a root password that is no longer then 8 characters.. Aug 15 02:25:59 how do i set root password? Aug 15 02:26:13 once everything is setup.. and you've rebooted your slug.. your passwords will go back to defailt again.. which drove me crazy until I found the documentatiion that tells me where to cop /etc/passwd too Aug 15 02:26:29 from command line you type passwd Aug 15 02:26:38 err, in unslung? Aug 15 02:26:53 i'm formatting my usb drive right now Aug 15 02:26:54 but until you change it it'll be root uNSLUng and your default admin password for the web interface will be admin admin Aug 15 02:27:24 its good that you found the IRC channel.. these guys are great here.. IM a newbie myself Aug 15 02:27:33 don't sound like one :S Aug 15 02:27:43 so i put my usb drive into port # 2 Aug 15 02:27:46 well Im 2 days into it so far Aug 15 02:27:47 and then format it in ext3 Aug 15 02:27:55 sounds good Aug 15 02:27:59 k Aug 15 02:28:23 I'd really like to get Debian working on my slug but I had such a hard time with it I settled for Unslung Aug 15 02:28:37 I'll probably redo it sometime when im on vacation Aug 15 02:28:43 ah Aug 15 02:28:45 um Aug 15 02:28:49 does it have to be a usb hard drive Aug 15 02:28:53 all i have is a usb flash drive Aug 15 02:29:01 formatted in fat32 Aug 15 02:29:13 silly slug refuses to format it Aug 15 02:29:13 Flash drives will work.. I'd go with nothing under 2 gigs, however it is possible to use a 1 gig Aug 15 02:29:30 it's 1 gig Aug 15 02:29:56 god dangit Aug 15 02:29:59 my slug won't format it Aug 15 02:30:21 I believe there is a minor modification you must make to the size of the temp file it uses on a 1 gig but it will work Aug 15 02:30:22 oh Aug 15 02:30:28 alright Aug 15 02:30:29 1 sec Aug 15 02:31:01 personally I wouldn't go for less then 2 gig flash drive Aug 15 02:31:12 but I guess it doesn't matter Aug 15 02:31:34 I used a 30 gig 2.5 usb drive.. nice and quiet and low power Aug 15 02:32:15 and next weekend when I get out to the market place I'll either pick up 2 500 gig usb drives or 1 750 gig drive.. Most likely Western Digital because they are low heat and quiet Aug 15 02:32:41 you can use a usb hub on port 1 Aug 15 02:32:57 500 gig :o Aug 15 02:33:16 I have lots of videos Aug 15 02:33:39 I use the slug for a few reasons.. #1 I have 2 xbox media centers and the slug feeds them all the video that they need Aug 15 02:34:13 #2. when i ssh into the slug I can run Irc using screen so that it always keeps me online whether I have a window open or not.. and also it downloads my bittorrent files for me Aug 15 02:34:37 Also make sure to install Samba if you have windows or linux computers on your network.. its sweet Aug 15 02:35:53 Im thinking about buying a second slug and a 3rd 500 gig drive so that I can drop it off at a friends house who has fast internet.. i have icky internet here.. and I can't get a good connection for 100 miles from here Aug 15 02:52:42 umm Aug 15 02:52:46 i think i just broke my nslu2 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Aug 15 02:59:57 2007
