**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Sep 28 02:59:56 2007 Sep 28 03:30:47 Question: Is this the right place to ask about OptWare packages? Sep 28 03:31:16 yes Sep 28 03:31:33 end user questions here Sep 28 03:31:37 cool. I've been using them to put extra features on my ds106 Sep 28 03:31:45 just recently been setting up openvpn Sep 28 03:31:56 and wanted to try setting up a tap-bridge Sep 28 03:32:08 As I understand it I need the bridging utils package Sep 28 03:32:09 have a link to ds106 info? Sep 28 03:32:38 it uses the same packages as ds101g Sep 28 03:32:46 k Sep 28 03:33:18 most of th packages seem to have builds for ds101g, but not the bridging utils package Sep 28 03:33:27 http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/details.php?package=bridge-utils&official=&format= Sep 28 03:33:59 whats the process for requesting another build? Sep 28 03:34:17 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/AddAPackageToOptware Sep 28 03:34:54 try to build and test it on your local workspace for your target platform Sep 28 03:35:31 thanks. It's possibly a little out of my reach. Sep 28 03:35:37 then request commit access with your new make/bridge-utils.mk Sep 28 03:36:00 Given that the package exists, just not for this particular machine, I wondered if it was just a case of cross compiling Sep 28 03:36:14 and whether there was a service or other developers able to do it? Sep 28 03:36:31 unfortunately the only linux box I have at the moment is the ds itself Sep 28 03:36:38 not great for compiling on Sep 28 03:36:40 or, http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/PackageWishList Sep 28 03:36:53 add your request Sep 28 03:37:31 ok, cool. is this package wishlist just for new packages, or for adding new target devices to existing packages? Sep 28 03:37:50 the existing package is for openembedded, optware does not have this at all Sep 28 03:38:13 if you can give a URL to the official download page of bridge-utils, that would help Sep 28 03:39:35 ok, thanks. its starting to make more sense Sep 28 03:43:44 ur welcome Sep 28 09:05:19 Hi, does anyone know if the USB controller on the NSLU2 can cut the bus power? I have some very badly behaved USB devices that need a reset. Sep 28 12:59:09 ooh, as in powercycle the usb bus. Now thats a new one... Never even thougth of that. Sep 28 13:00:18 Dont think thats possible really, since the +5v (if I remember it rite) is wired directly into the "powerfeed". Sep 28 14:32:02 trj: no, the NSLU2 cannot control the bus power. It's not very compliant to the specs in that regard. :( Sep 28 14:40:55 Damn, running out of toothpicks again. Sep 28 16:56:27 Can anyone explain something? The kernel version of the unslung is 2.4 right? I might have misunderstood, if I2019m please correct me. Because I found support for a mobile docking station on kernel On kernel version 2.6.19.2. So in brief :P, What is the solution ? :) Sep 28 16:57:19 I'm guessing, I've got to reflash the nslu2 and install Gentoo or Debian... instead of unslung Sep 28 16:59:20 Soheil: Unslung is 2.4.22 with some specific Linksys patches. Sep 28 16:59:42 Soheil: If you need a newer kernel, you'll need either SlugOS, or Debian. Sep 28 17:00:17 Soheil: Unfortunately, the SlugOS kernel is still at 2.6.16 IIRC, so you'll need to build the most recent SlugOS version from source. Sep 28 17:00:47 Soheil: And, I hear that the Debian installer is currently broken and won't install without some special care and workarounds. Sep 28 17:02:05 Hmm, a bit tricky then... Sep 28 17:02:37 Maybe I can build the SlugOs version from the source on my Pc, and then move it into the nslu2 Sep 28 17:04:57 or would it be easier to follow the instruction at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/unpack.html ? Sep 28 17:10:24 Hmm, nope Debian won't do. Debian 4.0r1 (with the 2.6.18-5 kernel)... Well, now I've got a project on my hands. Thanks a lot mwester. You cleared out a few questions Sep 28 17:17:49 Soheil: You got a link for this hw, sounds interesting. Sep 28 17:19:23 widrone: http://www.targus.com/us/product_details.asp?sku=ACP50US Sep 28 17:19:48 The docking station is 4-usb port, hub, with video, audio, ethernet, and seriel port Sep 28 17:20:10 If everything would work the slug would be transfered into a complete computer Sep 28 17:20:34 however... as it's the problem with Linux sometimes.. Sep 28 17:20:35 http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/showdev.php?id=3862 Sep 28 17:20:40 No video support yet Sep 28 17:21:56 but I would be satisfied to get the ethernet and audio to work Sep 28 17:24:01 When I'm done with that, I'll learn assembly and write my own drivers :P (not) Sep 28 17:25:36 my other option besides somehow fitting the right kernel into the nslu2 is ... to give the ndiswrapper a try Sep 28 17:26:39 Ah, one of those. Been wondering how support was on them. Nice. Sep 28 20:06:44 hey any one working with the SLU2 use hamachi with it Sep 28 20:07:27 j4yn0: what is hamachi? Some usb disk enclosure? Sep 28 20:10:45 no its a vpn gateway software Sep 28 20:11:08 so you can connect to other users behind NATS Sep 28 20:19:13 ping Sep 28 20:19:45 i have an "as bought" slug which I am considering unslinging Sep 28 20:20:26 for some reason i can't connect to the slug via samba from ubuntu (can via xp) and web interface works with both Sep 28 20:20:46 should i try and get samba working from ubuntu before i unsling> Sep 28 20:20:54 thanks for any input Sep 28 20:39:51 j4yn0: Never tried really. But is it in any feeds? Or what os are you running on the nslu. Sep 28 20:41:21 br3n: You running stock firmare then I figure? Sep 28 20:41:36 yep, stock Sep 28 20:42:13 actually just trying to reconfig smb on my ubuntu to box and test to see if it can access another xp box Sep 28 20:45:06 br3n: I got no experience with the stock samba setup Im afraid. But if you are running ubuntu and want to learn abit more about linux, upslug2 and the different nslu distros are a good companion. Sep 28 20:47:32 fact that i can see slug from xp means slug is working find Sep 28 20:48:13 ahh success! Sep 28 20:48:21 what was the problem? Sep 28 20:48:28 changing samba settings did the trick.... Sep 28 20:48:54 great howto here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605 Sep 28 20:49:12 if your bandwich is too little with samba, try to use nfs (for ubuntu) Sep 28 20:49:32 you should have better speed Sep 28 20:50:37 ok will look at taht Sep 28 20:50:55 can you edit smb.conf vith your stock os? Sep 28 20:51:43 note i am talking about the samba settings on my ubuntu box not the slug - are you meaning same PPmarcel? Sep 28 20:52:36 nop, i was talking about the nas. good thing to say me that :) Sep 28 20:54:44 does someone can explain me how works asterisk on openslug? Sep 28 20:55:27 sorry! beyond me right now! Sep 28 20:55:49 :) Sep 28 20:56:18 i have bought a linksys modem, but i remember now that my phone was linked to my old modem Sep 28 20:56:26 i take it you saw this http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Asterisk?from=Unslung.Asterisk Sep 28 20:56:33 now i have to know how i catch sip with the slug Sep 28 20:56:57 ah nice Sep 28 20:57:10 i was here, not soo easy :s Sep 28 20:57:13 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/Asterisk Sep 28 20:59:32 hum, i just look for an sip client finally Sep 28 21:16:17 Im fuzzing around with lvm2 after I came over some cheap noname usb disk enclosures. Had a couple of 3.5 250gb disks lying around. Sep 28 21:16:56 Not really failsafe, but it works for homestorage of random tv series for the household. Sep 28 21:18:37 Always wanted to play with asterisk, but I never managed to find a local sip gw to the phone grid. Sep 28 22:06:34 success...... nslu2 is now unslung to hard drive /dev/sda1 Sep 28 22:14:28 Yay! Now you get to learn ipkg, and become its friend. Sep 28 22:14:55 ssh is first on my list.... Sep 28 22:24:14 widrone u there? Sep 28 22:25:06 *pong* Sep 28 22:26:05 its ok was being stupid .... have worked it out Sep 28 22:29:42 Id say thats smart and not stupid :) Sep 28 22:40:23 u didn't see what i was going to ask! **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Sep 29 02:59:56 2007
