**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 08 02:59:57 2007 Sep 08 03:02:06 I was hoping to do a install tonight.. and I dont have a local copy of the unslung bios flasher Sep 08 03:02:21 with nslu linux website down thats hard to come by **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 08 03:22:13 2007 Sep 08 09:54:21 morning Sep 08 10:08:33 Hmmhmm after a new instalation is su not working Sep 08 10:20:10 add user to wheel group Sep 08 10:24:38 ch4os_: then it is working ? Sep 08 10:25:42 it should work Sep 08 10:27:38 this is what i see now : http://pastebin.com/d69988985 Sep 08 10:28:51 how can i easy add a user to the wheel group ? Sep 08 10:31:20 open /etc/group with vi and add wheel:*:1:root:username ? Sep 08 10:34:06 gpasswd -a user group Sep 08 10:34:25 Let me try Sep 08 10:40:23 gpasswd not found Sep 08 10:44:50 hmm it's part of sys-apps/shadow package Sep 08 10:45:44 it works with sudo bash so it is ok :) Sep 08 10:45:51 thx for your help Sep 08 10:48:13 MiKa_, not that I could help, just wondering - what firmware was that? Sep 08 10:50:02 unslung 6.8 Sep 08 10:51:31 k, thanks Sep 08 11:05:01 Hello... Sep 08 11:06:38 hi Sep 08 11:08:19 Is it recommendable to run the system from a flashdisk and than use one harddrive for storage only, or would you reccomend just using one harddrive for both storage and system? Sep 08 11:15:22 DiaboluZ: the last is the beter option Sep 08 11:15:35 i try both but the last is most faster Sep 08 11:15:48 s/most/much Sep 08 11:18:38 ok, should be doable :) attach it to port2 right? Sep 08 11:21:56 For new users, the following guidelines can help: Sep 08 11:21:56 - if you have only a single drive that will be formatted by the NSLU2, Sep 08 11:21:59 use port 2. Sep 08 11:22:02 - if you have a single drive that will be formatted by the NSLU2, and Sep 08 11:22:05 all other drives or flash devices will be either FAT or NTFS, use Sep 08 11:22:08 port 2. Sep 08 11:22:09 unsling to the drive in port 1. Sep 08 11:22:12 - if you have two drives, and both will be formatted by the NSLU2, then Sep 08 11:22:24 see the readme Sep 08 11:22:57 yep i am reading all i can find about this right now :) Sep 08 11:23:37 http://www.slug-firmware.net/u-dls.php Sep 08 11:24:27 thinking about runnning debian :) Sep 08 11:28:46 yes i did also :) Hmm let me try to find out syslog-ng Sep 08 14:30:11 mika_ :) Sep 08 14:37:07 caplink811_log: are you here for help :) Sep 08 14:38:55 try to make syslog-ng working Sep 08 14:39:39 but get this fault Error binding socket; addr='AF_UNIX(/dev/log)', error='Address already in use (98)' Sep 08 14:39:43 Error initializing source driver; source='src' Sep 08 15:09:25 mika_ :) Sep 08 15:21:16 MiKa_, you have to comment out both lines in /etc/inittab before you start syslog-ng Sep 08 15:21:58 yes, and i try a restart also Sep 08 15:22:58 caplink811_log: see the fault and config : http://pastebin.com/m72a18665 Sep 08 15:23:52 and http://pastebin.com/de3949fc Sep 08 15:24:56 seems that there is another process on this port... ps -ef | grep syslog results in what? Sep 08 15:29:30 or try lsof | grep /dev/log Sep 08 15:32:29 lsof is not on my system Sep 08 15:33:01 [mika@Mikas-server ~]$ ps -ef |grep syslog Sep 08 15:33:01 mika 538 494 0 17:32 ttyp0 00:00:00 grep syslog Sep 08 15:33:01 [mika@Mikas-server ~]$ Sep 08 15:33:30 do you use a diffrent config ? Sep 08 15:33:31 Hi, got a problem - following this one http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/unpack.html - but it gives me an error about unexpected end of the compressed file... i tried downloading it 4 times now :S Sep 08 15:34:41 let me install lsof Sep 08 15:35:38 [mika@Mikas-server ~]$ sudo lsof | grep /dev/log Sep 08 15:35:38 [mika@Mikas-server ~]$ Sep 08 15:36:21 that means there is no /dev/log ? Sep 08 15:37:05 that means, that no process uses /dev/log Sep 08 15:37:37 so, syslog-ng should be able to use this port Sep 08 15:39:02 i have copy the config from /opt/etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf /opt/etc/syslog-ng.conf Sep 08 15:39:41 because he wil not start at all at the first place Sep 08 15:39:54 btw, ls -la /dev/log gives what? Sep 08 15:40:27 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 12 Jan 1 1970 /dev/log -> /var/tmp/log Sep 08 15:41:22 but there is no /var/tmp/log Sep 08 15:41:56 [mika@Mikas-server ~]$ ls -la /var/tmp/ Sep 08 15:41:57 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Sep 8 16:26 . Sep 08 15:41:57 drwxrwxr-x 7 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 .. Sep 08 15:45:39 BUt the config is old it is for 3.x is that not a problem for so far you know Sep 08 15:47:12 MiKa_, your device is "unslinged"? Sep 08 15:47:35 yes Sep 08 15:48:15 http://pastebin.com/m6900cec6 Sep 08 15:49:02 http://pastebin.com/d4e824322 Sep 08 15:51:09 hm, log is a special file/device, and i don't know how it could be created. mknod isn't the right tool Sep 08 15:51:45 It's a socket. It's usually created by syslog or klogd, IIRC Sep 08 15:52:46 MiKa_, so it would be a nice idea, to delete /dev/log, and start syslog-ng Sep 08 15:52:49 mwester, thx Sep 08 15:52:58 ok let me try Sep 08 15:53:55 caplink811_log: and mwester that was the problem... thx !! Sep 08 15:54:11 [mika@Mikas-server ~]$ ps ax | grep syslog 585 ? Ss 0:00 /opt/sbin/syslog-ng Sep 08 15:56:33 Now see how it is logging and what i have to change Sep 08 16:01:23 Unexpected partition (expecting ) Sep 08 16:03:39 caplink811_log: i have to eat speak you later.. Sep 08 16:03:52 Its when i try to obtain the NPE-B microcode... Sep 08 16:03:56 have a nice diner Sep 08 16:04:43 thx Sep 08 16:12:23 No one who can help me? Sep 08 16:16:05 Debian? Sep 08 16:35:54 yep Sep 08 16:54:38 DiaboluZ: wiki suggests maybe trying #debian-arm on irc.oftc.net Sep 08 17:02:21 yea, but no one answers in that chan... But actually found a solution... the slugimage in ubuntu packages is to old Sep 08 17:05:27 caplink811_log: do you have a nice modif config for me ? Sep 08 17:09:31 this one http://rafb.net/p/Uo8yEf37.html logs per year and month in different folders, and could handle different logs from remote Sep 08 17:10:05 wohooo got it up and running Sep 08 17:11:44 Looks good.. now see what i can use from it Sep 08 17:15:29 how can i add that he make a sshd log Sep 08 17:39:48 mika_ :) Sep 08 17:54:52 caplink811_log: is this normal in top : Sep 08 17:54:55 529 root 12 0 29856 14m 14m D 7.3 49.5 2:43.78 syslog-ng Sep 08 17:55:38 it looks it slow down my slug Sep 08 18:34:38 hi, I'm trying to compile transmission for my nslu2 but I always get this error: http://pastebin.com/m64a812e7 anyone knows how to fix this? Sep 08 18:36:36 IMO it's strange, because transmission does not need glib Sep 08 18:41:06 franf: it could be that you have glib on your build machine, and transmission automatically detected it Sep 08 18:41:23 try do similar things as line 13 Sep 08 18:50:16 eno: thank you, this works Sep 08 19:05:06 i found the problem ..nou how to let log thttpd also in syslog Sep 08 19:10:31 caplink811-log: what kind of stukture must i make in /opt/var/log/syslog-ng/ Sep 08 19:12:43 ok 2007 and then 09 10 enz Sep 08 22:16:42 quick question to any1 awake. How do I reboot the nslu2 from telnet session? Sep 08 22:17:30 Depends on the firmware you have running. Sep 08 22:17:36 unslung 6.8 Beta Sep 08 22:17:44 DO_Shutdown Sep 08 22:17:59 (Capitalization is significant) Sep 08 22:18:02 will that shutdown or reset? Sep 08 22:18:09 Shutdown. Sep 08 22:18:18 DO_Reboot will restart the system Sep 08 22:18:23 there is not 'reset' command? Sep 08 22:18:28 ohhh... thanx Sep 08 22:18:38 Map the commands Sep 08 22:19:02 You could also just restart or power off via the Linksys web gui, or the power button, of course. Sep 08 22:19:22 I cant remember what the syntax is, but i know you could set it to run DO_Reboot when you type restart Sep 08 22:19:35 is one cleaner than the other, in terms of how it powers down i.e. cleans out temporary files etc...? Sep 08 22:20:43 All the "DO_*" commands are the same as the power button, or the GUI -- and are only as clean as Linksys and Unslung permit. Which is barely adequate. Sep 08 22:21:34 why is it barely adequate? Sep 08 22:23:05 The shutdown procedure only handles "typical" sorts of devices, it has difficulties with more advanced things such as RAID disks. Sep 08 22:26:17 if I only have a flash drive in it, should be fine right?> Sep 08 22:26:40 It works just fine for that. no problem. Sep 08 22:29:25 Hi all. I'm looking into buying a nslu2, but i'd much rather buy a Router that can be upgraded with a open source distr. anyone know of such projects? Sep 08 22:30:06 WRT54G and derivatives Sep 08 22:30:59 BoSJo: also look into the cheaper Buffalo routers if available in your area Sep 08 22:31:08 Reedy_Boy : Thanks, will google a bit for it Sep 08 22:31:24 Administrator: Ok, ill look :-) Sep 08 22:31:27 Probably look at OpenWRT and DDWRT Sep 08 22:31:49 I use, Tomato which is easier... not as advanced as DD-WRT Sep 08 22:32:34 mwester, do you know if using 'touch /.ext3flash' will interfere with subversion? Sep 08 22:35:48 Can't imagine why it would. Sep 08 22:36:53 i don't know how subversion works internally, but what does that do when that file exist? Sep 08 22:37:34 nvm, I misread the wiki... it disables swapping and timestamp recording when a file is accessed Sep 08 22:37:43 changes the mount options so that it's mounted with noatime, and disables swapping. Sep 08 22:39:26 BoSJo: there's also router with usb Sep 08 22:39:31 subversion would probably never use the access time... probably just the last modified time if any as it probably has it own internals Sep 08 22:40:26 BoSJo: Following up on what eno said, check out wikipedia for wrt54gl. it list the versions that has USB ports Sep 08 22:42:53 eno & Administrator: well i'd like any recomendations I can get, I currently got a Net Storage device (cable) and would like to have that be a NetFtp Server so to speak, controlled by the Router. Would like support for Printer but MFC functions must be maintained Sep 08 22:43:08 Thats the two most important futures Sep 08 22:43:46 The printer is UCB Sep 08 22:43:52 UCB = USB Sep 08 22:44:54 Prize is not all that important, i don't mind paying a bit as loong as i get a good product. Any recomendations on HW?? Sep 08 22:46:55 see http://wiki.openwrt.org/TableOfHardware Sep 08 22:46:59 BoSJo: Sorry, I don't understand your setup... I don't have much experience with the routers to recommend you one. However, the wrt54gl is probably the most used. It does not have the USB port you are looking for... I don't think there are too many devices with 2 usb ports either Sep 08 22:47:45 eno : Looking Sep 08 22:48:17 wrtsl54gs is supported by openwrt Sep 08 22:48:30 you can even install optware Sep 08 22:48:52 Administrator : will look at it some more......he he, the problem is...theres just to many devices to get a good overview :-) But ill invest some time in this and get it right the first time Sep 08 22:48:53 asus also have a couple routers with usb Sep 08 22:49:51 eno : yeaar, did have a look at them, and i'm i really like Asus, always made quality HW Sep 08 22:53:55 no, i have not used any of these routers Sep 08 22:56:24 use a wrt54 on layer2/3 tasks and a nslu (or something equal) for tasks above.... Sep 08 22:56:37 * mwester does as well Sep 08 22:56:56 ;) Sep 08 22:58:28 caplink811-log : that would be an option, but would like to only have one device...... got blody devices all over the place *LOL* Sep 08 23:00:14 yeah, but the problem which i see... maybe that problems >layer3 may have impacts to layer <=3 or vice versa Sep 08 23:01:04 and alternative firmwares like dd-wrt or openwrt exists for the wrt54 device Sep 08 23:01:20 I'm a firm believer that the hardware device that functions as a firewall must run as few services as is possible, as every service is a security vulnerability potentially. Sep 08 23:01:52 My WRT runs only a firewall and routing software; everything else is on an NSLU2 *inside* the network. Sep 08 23:02:47 Thats true......hmmmmmm, gotta go to the think box ;-) Sep 08 23:02:55 what is another aspect as well Sep 08 23:03:06 I'm not worried so much about the software being defective as much as I am worried about me making a mistake, and accidentally opening up a port to the internet, or exposing a user id that I need for Samba to the internet with a weak password... Sep 08 23:03:48 +1 mwester Sep 08 23:04:48 that is what i meant before, problems above layer3 (applications, human beeings)... Sep 08 23:04:50 Well, i already got plenty Routers here, maybe one of e'm can run the firewall, and another (Old or new) for the rest Sep 08 23:05:28 But a Belkin N1 with 400Mhz would be nice :-) Sep 09 00:42:37 Oh my, seems like 15 daychanges since last I stopped by. Time flies when having fun! Sep 09 00:43:57 And Ill chime in on the wrt54 and nslu2 combo, great combo really. Got a set myself, never turn them off really. ;) Sep 09 00:52:02 Ill be sure to come back and idle some more later.. Sep 09 01:33:44 is any1 here familiar with nameservers and how to setup ddns? Sep 09 01:59:46 hello, i am trying to overclock my slug, i have it open and am trying to make sure i have the right resistor Sep 09 02:00:28 this picture shows the 103 resistor Sep 09 02:00:30 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/uploads/r83_location.jpg Sep 09 02:01:21 however, the resistors on my slug do not have the same leabel Sep 09 02:01:25 labels Sep 09 02:02:25 has anyone overclocked one before? Sep 09 02:06:08 anyone? Sep 09 02:34:34 ExxonValdeez: if they do not match, then do not remove them. Sep 09 02:35:17 well, i was just looking at a picture on flickr and the resistors have different labels than the ones in the picture Sep 09 02:35:58 i just verified that it is running at 133 Sep 09 02:36:09 Use the wiki as the known good source of information -- if the photo shown in the wiki does not agree with your circuit board, don't remove the resistor. Sep 09 02:37:45 okay, i see where it is, it says to remove r83 Sep 09 02:37:45 Can you be more specific about how your circuit board differs from the one in the wiki photo? Sep 09 02:38:27 Do you have more or fewer resistors in that area? Sep 09 02:39:14 and r83 is just in a different position, yes, so the picture has 103 on the resistor at the bottom, but mine has 103 on the resistor right above the bottom one, on the circuit board it shows a label as the 2nd one from the bottom being r83, there are the same number of resistor Sep 09 02:39:15 s Sep 09 02:40:14 should i take a picture? Sep 09 02:41:36 The number stamped on the resistor (103) is the value of the resistor. In the photo, the component number is shown in the block of text above the letters "intel" on the chip to the left. Sep 09 02:42:10 The top resistor beside the component with the "100" stamped on it is #R84. Sep 09 02:43:02 The one beneath is R80, then below that R82, (I have no idea why they are not sequential), then R83, and the final one would be R81, except that it should be already missing on your board as it is in the one in the photo. Sep 09 02:43:58 okay, i see what you are saying, r81 is the one missing, r83 is the last one Sep 09 02:44:13 Yep. Sep 09 02:44:17 the block text says the same thing as it does in the picture Sep 09 02:44:35 That's good -- but do you have the same number and position for the actual resistors? Sep 09 02:45:41 r83 has a different value stamped on it, the first two are E01, the next is 103 and the last has a value of E01 Sep 09 02:46:47 Don't worry about the values too much, as long as they are in the same place, and there are no other obvious differences. Sep 09 02:47:49 okay, thanks, that is what i was worried about it and i was just wanting someone to make sure i was doing it right Sep 09 02:48:03 now i need some clippers to get it off Sep 09 02:49:24 ooh, that would be cool to have an nslu2 cluster, just for kicks **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Sep 09 02:59:56 2007
