**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Aug 22 02:59:56 2007
Aug 22 03:39:21 <widrone> I am about to do what is adviced against, load up a barrel of eraseall.exe and start gunning. My slug is driving me insane about now :)
Aug 22 03:41:27 <widrone> Strange behavior no matter what I try to flash it with, only thing I get working properly is redboot (telnet). 
Aug 22 03:43:36 <widrone> Even tried the "fis erase -f 0x50040000 -l 0x20000" and reflashing with NSLU2_V23R63.bin (and R72). 
Aug 22 03:44:50 <widrone> Got it showing on the notwork after putting openwrt on it, but only thru "arp" showing the MAC. No open ports or anything, after 2-3 min it went away again. 
Aug 22 03:45:10 <widrone> Really is the strangest thing I have seen anywhere.
Aug 22 04:01:58 <solarbaby> I wouldn't use erase-all
Aug 22 04:02:09 <solarbaby> not unless you really want a brick
Aug 22 04:12:59 <widrone> Well, its not doing anything besides acting like a brick with redboot now. But I hear ya, load and clear. 
Aug 22 04:13:49 <widrone> I know it is probably possible to get somewhere from there, but... its being a strange little nslu rite now. 
Aug 22 04:15:58 <widrone> But that you for telling me its a bad idea, that is what we are supposed to do ;)
Aug 22 04:16:55 * mwester-road thinks widrone should send him his nslu2 when he bricks it with eraseall... :p
Aug 22 04:35:13 <widrone> Ill give it a day or two, gotta bring something with windows on home from work if I ever want to try that .exe madness. 
Aug 22 04:35:40 <widrone> Maybe Ill dig out some more redboot erase commands even. 
Aug 22 08:18:21 <solarbaby> using UnSlung who knows how to load rtorrent at bootup?
Aug 22 08:19:23 <solarbaby> Howdy DrJ
Aug 22 08:19:27 <DrJ> hey
Aug 22 08:19:47 <MystiQu> solarbaby: u could always add a script in the /etc/rcX.d foldes
Aug 22 08:20:13 <solarbaby> Im gunna have to try that.. I found a script that someone wrote for Debian
Aug 22 08:20:32 <MystiQu> correction: create a script in /etc/init.d/ and make a symbolic link to it in /etc/rcX.d/
Aug 22 08:21:08 <solarbaby> I dont have a init.d in etc
Aug 22 08:21:30 <solarbaby> oh unless you mean /opt/etc
Aug 22 08:21:56 <MystiQu> I use OpenSlug myself, guess itīs a bit different
Aug 22 08:22:28 <MystiQu> but put the script where all the other scrips are (look in /etc/rcX.d/ and see where the symlinks are pointing)
Aug 22 08:23:09 <solarbaby> I put a script in init.d called S99rtorrent
Aug 22 08:23:13 <solarbaby> so far it doesn't work
Aug 22 08:23:29 <solarbaby> course its in /opt/etc/init.d/s99rtorrent
Aug 22 08:23:53 <MystiQu> do u have any rcX.d folders in /etc?
Aug 22 08:24:06 <solarbaby> haven't seen em.. I'll look again
Aug 22 08:24:29 <solarbaby> nope
Aug 22 08:24:30 <MystiQu> they should be named: rc0.d, rc1.d....  rc6.d
Aug 22 08:24:42 <solarbaby> I have init.d and I have xinetd.d
Aug 22 08:24:55 <MystiQu> each folder define a specific runlevel
Aug 22 08:24:57 <MystiQu> hmmm
Aug 22 08:25:24 <MystiQu> they must exist somewhere :)
Aug 22 08:26:48 <MystiQu> http://www.userlinux.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Run_Level_Lecture    here u can read about run levels, good to know
Aug 22 08:26:48 <solarbaby> i have rc.local rc.d rc 
Aug 22 08:26:49 <MystiQu> aah, look in rc.d
Aug 22 08:27:55 <MystiQu> make a symlink in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/ called s99rtorrent and point it to the script in your init.d folder
Aug 22 08:28:08 <solarbaby> ok
Aug 22 08:30:01 <MystiQu> when linux is started in full multi-user mode (run level 2), all scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/ will be executed
Aug 22 08:30:52 <solarbaby> I dont have a rc2.d directory
Aug 22 08:31:01 <MystiQu> oh
Aug 22 08:31:05 <MystiQu> :D
Aug 22 08:31:07 <solarbaby> I have a rc.1
Aug 22 08:31:35 <solarbaby> excuse me.. rc.1 is a file
Aug 22 08:33:42 <MystiQu> I'm a bit confused - as far as I know debian should have rcX.d folders
Aug 22 08:33:44 <MystiQu> http://www.debianhelp.co.uk/runlevels.htm
Aug 22 08:34:03 <solarbaby> Im still not sure what kind of linux unslung really is
Aug 22 08:34:06 <solarbaby> its confusing as hell
Aug 22 08:34:23 <solarbaby> I have a feeling as soon as I make it absolutely perfect im going to save it and then start over with debian
Aug 22 08:34:27 <solarbaby> heh
Aug 22 08:35:02 <solarbaby> its pretty close to perfection now.. if I wanted to stop at my current goals..  but I know there will be something new sometime
Aug 22 08:35:05 <MystiQu> aah, I'm sorry... for some reason I thought u were using debian )
Aug 22 08:35:06 <MystiQu> =)
Aug 22 08:35:15 <solarbaby> I probably should be
Aug 22 08:38:04 <MystiQu> just by curiosity...  what's the content of the rc.1 file?
Aug 22 08:42:25 <MystiQu> btw, I think you can add a line in rc.local (which is executed at boot) which executes your s99rtorrent script
Aug 22 08:42:50 <MystiQu> just edit rc.local and add it at the bottom 
Aug 22 12:32:18 <mwester-road> Mystiqu__: Don't mess with any of the files in /etc; that's a sure way to render your slug unbootable.
Aug 22 12:32:37 <mwester-road> Place your startup file in /opt/etc/init.d
Aug 22 12:32:48 <mwester-road> Note that it must start with an uppper-case "S"
Aug 22 12:33:13 <mwester-road> Test it by executing it manually, and make sure it works...
Aug 22 12:43:37 <Mystiqu__> mwester-road: tnx, good to know. I thought the system only looked in the rcX.d folders (where I usually place symlinks pointing to a specific script in the init.d folder)
Aug 22 12:46:08 <Mystiqu__> I don't have the /opt folder,   /etc/init.d/ in my case (OpenSlug)
Aug 22 12:51:45 <Guest4798> hie

Aug 22 13:02:56 <Guest0028> i ping cnn.com on windows it returns fast but on slug still no return packet
Aug 22 13:07:17 <jelle> your gateway is problably wrong. 
Aug 22 13:08:40 <vincent1982> i check the webinterface
Aug 22 13:08:44 <vincent1982> it was correct
Aug 22 13:09:10 <jelle> what does   cat   /etc/network/interfaces          tell you?
Aug 22 13:09:23 <jelle> (on the slug)
Aug 22 13:10:05 <vincent1982> no such file
Aug 22 13:10:08 <jelle> what does         ipconfig           tell you on windows?
Aug 22 13:10:11 <jelle> ah.
Aug 22 13:10:43 <jelle> any unslungers here??   I'm in openslug, don't know where the interfaces file goes in unslung....
Aug 22 13:12:06 <vincent1982> http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/nslu2/cross/stable/
Aug 22 13:12:15 <vincent1982> can u try dl any ipk from here
Aug 22 13:12:33 <vincent1982> i use it with windows n cannot dl any thing as well
Aug 22 13:12:46 <vincent1982> thts y i think the server might be down

Aug 22 13:14:06 <jelle> server is up
Aug 22 13:15:45 <vincent1982> weird
Aug 22 13:15:55 <vincent1982> bcause even windows is not working for me
Aug 22 13:16:00 <vincent1982> not from slug
Aug 22 13:17:15 <jelle> might be your network somehow
Aug 22 13:17:33 <vincent1982> will retart all the switches n routers
Aug 22 13:17:37 <vincent1982> tnx for ur help
Aug 22 13:32:01 <mwester-road> When vincent1982 returns, someone should tell him that the network config (gateway, dns, etc) is set up on Unslung exactly as it is setup on Linksys -- use the web interface.
Aug 22 13:37:49 <vincent1982> jelle u still there?
Aug 22 13:37:57 <jelle> yup
Aug 22 13:38:08 <vincent1982> i restarted everything..
Aug 22 13:38:11 <vincent1982> still no hope
Aug 22 13:38:16 <vincent1982> i did ipkg update
Aug 22 13:38:20 <vincent1982> or ipkg list
Aug 22 13:38:22 <vincent1982> they worked
Aug 22 13:38:30 <vincent1982> only ipkg install dont
Aug 22 13:39:09 <vincent1982> any unsluggers here?
Aug 22 13:59:44 <MystiQu> what are you trying to install?
Aug 22 14:00:05 <MystiQu> u said ipkg update worked but not ipkg install...
Aug 22 14:13:37 <vincent1982> yes
Aug 22 14:13:50 <vincent1982> i type ipkg install mediatomb
Aug 22 14:13:58 <vincent1982> n the download dont work
Aug 22 14:17:37 <MystiQu> ok, so the installation does not start at all
Aug 22 14:18:22 <MystiQu> I had some trouble once getting samba installed, but when I added the -d option  (ipkg -d <dest> install samba) it worked alot better
Aug 22 14:18:54 <MystiQu> u can see de defined destinations in ipkg.conf
Aug 22 14:19:02 <MystiQu> the even
Aug 22 14:19:36 <MystiQu> don't know it will solve you problem though :)
Aug 22 14:19:55 <MystiQu> you're   (damn, can't type today)

Aug 22 14:20:07 <MystiQu> :D
Aug 22 14:20:48 <MystiQu> anyway, I gotta go.. good luck with ipkg
Aug 22 14:45:36 <widrone> Hey, my wierd-o-slug came back to me even without needing the eraseall I was dreading I had to ddo. 
Aug 22 14:46:09 <widrone> It came back at 192.168.1.107 and that is strange, I even had erased the sysconf like 15 times before it worked. 
Aug 22 14:46:22 <widrone> Ill do the dance of the happyslug now ;)
Aug 22 14:46:31 <jelle> lol
Aug 22 14:47:39 <widrone> But there it went away again, damn this is so wierd. Never seen anything like this. Must be some hardware faling on me in there. e 
Aug 22 14:48:01 <widrone> Ah, it booted on its own (again). 
Aug 22 14:50:25 <widrone> But the debian installer i got flashed on it now seems to get it up again, then fails again. 
Aug 22 14:50:40 <widrone> And this is not the di fault. 
Aug 22 15:25:28 <cyboreal> so, i used the tutorial here (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/unpack.html) to unpack a tarball onto my ext. hd and flashed the image to the nslu2 but the Ready/Status light stays amber... what gives?
Aug 22 15:26:20 <cyboreal> is the firmware for the eth0 driver only 11964 bytes in size?
Aug 22 15:32:30 <widrone> cyboreal: Hm, never tried it that way really. You are doig it this way since the r1 of etch kind of broke the installer? 
Aug 22 15:39:04 <widrone> Im accualy thinking of trying it that way myself now, seems like the only thing that will get this slug here going is debian. 
Aug 22 15:39:50 <PPmarcel> hello
Aug 22 15:39:55 <widrone> For some strange reason I cant figure out, unslung/openwrt/linksys firmwares just refuses to boot on it. Must be enviromental damage ;)
Aug 22 15:41:16 <widrone> The di installer does a dhcp request, that may be why it shows up really. Its the only thing I can think of. 
Aug 22 15:42:03 <widrone> PPmarcel: Hello you. 
Aug 22 15:42:23 <PPmarcel> your slug is down?
Aug 22 15:42:54 <widrone> PPmarcel: One of them decied to give me a really hard time it seems, but its a learning experience so far... 
Aug 22 15:44:14 <PPmarcel> don't blame them, they are not soo much for these big projects around the slug.
Aug 22 15:44:29 <PPmarcel> what is you problem?
Aug 22 15:44:36 <PPmarcel> about your slug
Aug 22 15:46:09 <widrone> Well, it still got redboot atleast I can telnet into that. Resetting sysconf works. But after that its a bit of hit and miss depending on what i load it with. Using upslug2 from the other slug to do that. 
Aug 22 15:47:37 <widrone> Tried to load it back up with the linksys firmware even, but it seems that wonnt even recreate the defualt ip setup. Im starting to think the hardware has become a bit flakey. 
Aug 22 15:48:40 <PPmarcel> upslug2 successfuly flash the nas?
Aug 22 15:49:00 <PPmarcel> i mean it end it work whithout error?
Aug 22 15:49:14 <PPmarcel> without*
Aug 22 15:49:21 <widrone> Every time. But after that sometimes it loop boots, the furthest I got was with di. 
Aug 22 15:50:15 <widrone> It accualy loaded and I could ssh into it. 
Aug 22 15:51:38 <PPmarcel> and why areyou sure that firmwares don't work?
Aug 22 15:52:56 <widrone> never shows up on the network, mac does not show up in any arp request. And if I keep pinging 192.168.0.1 I can get back into redboot (since it loopboots). 
Aug 22 15:53:16 <PPmarcel> i'm not specialist about redboot or slug backup :s
Aug 22 15:53:43 <widrone> But since there is no unison thing happening every time, Im thinking its hardware. 
Aug 22 15:54:13 <PPmarcel> noone helped you?
Aug 22 15:55:00 <widrone> I got some pointers from ppl, and I keep trying different things to see what happens. I like diagnosing problems so its no trouble ;)
Aug 22 15:58:50 <PPmarcel> oki :p
Aug 22 15:58:52 <PPmarcel> gl
Aug 22 16:00:27 <PPmarcel> widrone: you have a lot of slug?
Aug 22 16:01:37 <widrone> PPmarcel: 2 of them, had 3 but I gave one to a friend when he moved into a new appartment. He is a debian geek. ;)
Aug 22 16:01:50 <PPmarcel> how nice :o
Aug 22 16:02:11 <PPmarcel> < widrone> PPmarcel: One of them decied to give me a really hard time it seems <-- i was thinking that you talked about staff :)
Aug 22 16:04:13 <PPmarcel> ipkg install xinetd
Aug 22 16:04:16 <PPmarcel> oops
Aug 22 16:04:23 <PPmarcel> wrong term
Aug 22 16:04:58 <widrone> Hehe, the "staff" her are always helpfull, no har times there. 
Aug 22 16:05:03 <widrone> hard*
Aug 22 16:05:59 <PPmarcel> i think it's hard to find someone :)
Aug 22 16:06:33 <PPmarcel> but i often find solution, so it's not a prob
Aug 22 19:52:07 <MystiQu> I created a thread a few weeks ago on the nslu-2 forum regarding vsftpd for openslug which does not accept many of the variables defined in the vsftpd.conf man page
Aug 22 19:52:43 <MystiQu> Does anyone know if someone has taken a closer look at it?
Aug 22 19:53:11 <MystiQu> http://www.nabble.com/vsftpd--2.0.3-r3-not-working-properly-on-openslug-3.10-tf4258208.html
Aug 22 19:53:16 <Reedy_Boy> #nslu2-linux may be better...
Aug 22 20:19:07 <MystiQu> Reedy_Boy: I think you're right :)
Aug 23 02:37:20 <mlh_>  /join #nslu2-linux
Aug 23 02:37:23 <mlh_> heh
