**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 14 02:59:56 2007 Sep 14 11:13:03 Hi. If I want make my NSLU2 to act as a streaming server, what nslu2 firmware flavour would I use? Sep 14 19:41:08 18:29 < widrone> So I guess you want to know what kinds of usb sticks that work? :) Sep 14 19:41:27 Yes i look for a wireless stick that work direct :) Sep 14 20:32:01 noob question: I want to make Wizd start at reboot... how do i do that? im using unslung Sep 14 20:34:34 anyone? Sep 14 20:36:57 martin222: i am not sure what you mean Sep 14 20:38:38 ok Sep 14 20:38:45 i have wizd installed on my slug Sep 14 20:38:57 the slug reboots every night Sep 14 20:39:17 i want wizd to start at reboot Sep 14 20:39:43 i guess its some kind of start script, but im a total linux noob Sep 14 20:46:41 would putting something like /opt/sbin/wizd -d in the rc.local file do it? Sep 14 20:47:22 martin222, you have to create a startupfile/script in /opt/etc/init.d, the name of this file must begins with Sxxfile (where xx means a 2 digit number, highest number = latest startup) Sep 14 20:47:59 see other files in this direcetory as example Sep 14 20:48:13 morning, btw Sep 14 20:48:29 morning :) Sep 14 20:49:04 caplink811-log: you are quicker as me :) Sep 14 20:49:13 sometimes ;) Sep 14 20:49:13 martin222: you need that info Sep 14 20:49:52 ok... it seems i got it working by doing the like /opt/sbin/wizd -d in the rc.local file Sep 14 20:50:06 although it started 2 processes with the same name O.o Sep 14 20:50:49 mabye, i have 10 processes /opt/sbin/httpd Sep 14 20:51:04 oh Sep 14 20:51:16 which works as designed Sep 14 20:51:45 it seems i do have a small script in /opt/etc/init.d Sep 14 20:51:56 named s84wizd Sep 14 20:52:20 should that be enough, or are there more things i need to do? Sep 14 20:52:28 then you have anything, what you need, you should remmove your changes at rc.local Sep 14 20:52:49 'but that script has been there for a long time... and it hasnt worked Sep 14 20:52:54 lemme try again :) Sep 14 20:53:20 martin222: Change the "s" to "S" Sep 14 20:53:33 but be sure that /opt/etc/init.d/S84wizd have at least 755 as file access rights (use ls -la filename to verify) Sep 14 20:53:50 its case sensitive as well? Sep 14 20:53:54 ye Sep 14 20:53:56 s Sep 14 20:54:05 oh... me be big noob Sep 14 20:56:09 btw MiKa_ , about reading logfiles, midnight commander->F3, or cat file|more, or cat file|grep something_interest works like a charm Sep 14 20:56:10 so, putting those scripts there is the best way to start new processes? Sep 14 20:56:30 yes, it is the recommend procedure Sep 14 20:56:41 ok sweet Sep 14 20:57:12 its all so messy... there are programs all over the place... scripts and stuff... i need a better brain Sep 14 20:58:15 martin222: the "messiness" is a hallmark of Unslung, and generally is because of the need to separate the Linksys stuff from everything else. Sep 14 20:59:21 ok... i guess i should install linux instead of windows and really learn the stuff... cant see the point in having windows anymore tbh Sep 14 21:00:07 * mwester is a pragmatist, and has both Sep 14 21:00:58 martin222, as a beginner try something like a live cd, or an installation in a vmware session Sep 14 21:01:49 yeah i guess... Sep 14 21:02:23 hmm.. this is interesting... i havent done anything to the script file really, and now it works after the slug has rebooted Sep 14 21:03:08 and now i also wonder why I have the slug rebooting every night Sep 14 21:04:05 [root@linus root]$ uptime Sep 14 21:04:05 23:02:33 up 138 days, 12:13, 0 users, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 Sep 14 21:04:05 basically no need for a reboot Sep 14 21:04:41 ok... then i need to figure out where i put that damn reboot thingie :D Sep 14 21:05:31 let's start over, why do you assume there is a need for a nightly reboot, or why do you want to reboot? Sep 14 21:06:08 well, i made that decision a long time ago, and i cant really remember the reason for it Sep 14 21:06:21 i guess its the old "fresh start is good blahblah" Sep 14 21:09:01 linux != windows (excl. server versions, which becomes more stable within the years) Sep 14 21:09:07 21:07:42 up 328 days, 18:59, 1 user, load average: 1.00, 1.00, 1.00 Sep 14 21:09:29 * caplink811 had a cat problem Sep 14 21:10:18 cat feet, power switch, you know ;) Sep 14 21:10:23 ok, im looking at my crontab... Sep 14 21:10:29 cats... they itch :) Sep 14 21:10:40 theres the reboot thingie, just remove that right? Sep 14 21:10:54 Check the Linksys GUI. I think you can ask it to restart from there, no? Sep 14 21:12:08 ah right Sep 14 21:12:44 well, i was in the right place.... no reboot line left in crontab :) Sep 14 21:14:49 btw... is there a faster/better way than samba for file transfers to the slug? Sep 14 21:17:04 there is a page about transfer speeds in the wiki, afair smb wins vs. the other protocols Sep 14 21:17:55 ok... I wonder if theres something wrong with my setup... should it take 3 mins to transfer a 700mb file from windows to the slug?= Sep 14 21:19:30 this is ~3.5MByte/sec, and it fits to the experiences of the community Sep 14 21:20:39 okidoki Sep 14 21:21:03 thanks for everything guys... couldnt have done all this in such a short amount of time without you :) Sep 14 21:21:12 np Sep 14 21:21:29 im off to get some hangover food Sep 14 21:21:37 take care everyone! Sep 14 22:12:24 bah... im back Sep 14 22:12:39 cant get the slug to boot from harddrive.... any ideas? Sep 14 22:25:38 in what order should i start my slug and the external drive connected to it? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 15 02:59:57 2007
