**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Oct 04 02:59:56 2007 Oct 04 04:16:08 help Oct 04 04:19:56 how do i easily edit config files in nslu2 Oct 04 04:20:09 *unslung Oct 04 04:25:49 Hi, I have been an unslung user for the past couple of years and I just started experimenting with openslug. I run into an issue with getting the slug to recognize the swap partition I created. Oct 04 04:26:32 As detailed in the wiki, "swapon /dev/sda2" fails. Does anyone have a work around? Oct 04 04:26:58 Should I just add a swap file as detailed in AddAdditionalSwapSpace? Oct 04 04:28:55 can you help me? how do i edit config files form telnet? is there an easier way like scp or something? Oct 04 04:40:49 how do i write to files on unslung Oct 04 04:43:23 Guest2573: use a standard linux text editor. "vi" is pre-installed, you can also install other editors that you might like better, such as "nano" Oct 04 04:44:34 timbo_newbie: What message do you get from swapon? Oct 04 04:45:41 I get the following: swapon: /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy Oct 04 04:46:43 what do you get from "swapon -s" Oct 04 04:47:16 wheni installed nano using ipkg but i cant run nano it just says command not found Oct 04 04:47:22 i get "/dev/sda2 partition 182992 28 -1" Oct 04 04:47:46 Guest2573: did you install openssh, and are you using an SSH client on your windows box (such as putty)? Oct 04 04:48:03 i installed openssh, i dont know how to configure it though Oct 04 04:48:12 im uing hyperterminal Oct 04 04:48:15 timbo_newbie: The device is in use because it's already swapping on /dev/sda2 Oct 04 04:48:24 ahh. Oct 04 04:48:27 and the default ssh server on unslung Oct 04 04:49:11 am I able to update the wiki with this? I don't have a yahoo account and I'm current just using the java IRC client through a browser Oct 04 04:49:15 Guest2573: There's no configuration required on Unslung for OpenSSH; it you installed it using ipkg install openssh then it's ready to go. Oct 04 04:49:31 which port 23 right? Oct 04 04:50:05 Guest2573: You need to download PuTTY and install that on your windows box -- use that for both Telnet and SSH connections. Oct 04 04:50:38 If you use SSH, then everything is set up for you on Unslung; it will find nano (and other commands that you have installed), and it knows your terminal type, etc. Oct 04 04:51:12 If you wish to use Telnet, you can do so, but then you must tell Unslung where to find the commands you have installed. For example to invoke nano, you type "/opt/bin/nano" Oct 04 04:51:34 yea i tried that it said i dont have permissions :S Oct 04 04:51:39 it works in ssh now though thanks! Oct 04 04:51:45 The port numbers will be chosen by telnet or ssh as appropriate, Unslung uses the standard port numbers. Oct 04 04:52:05 timbo_newbie: Yes, you should be able to update the wiki. Oct 04 04:54:13 thanks for the help mwester, I am updating the wiki now. Oct 04 04:59:07 One other question. I have also followed the directions to install samba, xinetd and swat. When I point my browser to the swat admin page, I only see four options: HOME, STATUS, VIEW and PASSWORD Oct 04 04:59:24 Shouldn't there be a bunch of other options listed? Oct 04 05:00:38 hold on, this might be becuse the account I"m using doesn't have enough privileges. Oct 04 05:01:05 the web interfce always shows my ntfs drive as not formatted... it worked before... Oct 04 05:02:45 Guest2573: what port are you plugging the NTFS drive into, and what firmware version were you running before? Oct 04 05:08:23 1st port and 2.3R63 unslug Oct 04 05:08:38 i just installed ufsd right now to see if it fixed it, should i restard the bslu2 Oct 04 05:08:42 *nslu2 Oct 04 05:09:26 ufsd should have been installed by default. I think that article on the wiki is obsolete Oct 04 05:09:35 oh Oct 04 05:09:48 it says that with 6.8 the ntfs driver is unstable Oct 04 05:10:09 It's unstable with 2.3R63 -- it's the same binary. Oct 04 05:10:20 is there an alternative i can use? Oct 04 05:10:24 Nope. Oct 04 05:10:36 There is for SlugOS (aka OpenSlug). Oct 04 05:10:46 oh... Oct 04 05:11:01 But not for Unslung, compatability with the Linksys firmware means it's stuck on a very old kernel version. Oct 04 05:11:35 Use the "mount" command, and see if your NTFS partition is mounted (should be HD_1_1_1 or something like that ) Oct 04 05:12:08 i restarted it Oct 04 05:12:11 awesome it works Oct 04 05:12:12 thx Oct 04 05:12:43 also when i try to delete a folder on the ntfs drive it says access denies Oct 04 05:13:25 via the network share, or from the ssh session? Oct 04 05:13:32 the network share Oct 04 05:14:44 Did you put the file in question on the disk through that network share? Oct 04 05:14:50 no... Oct 04 05:14:52 lol Oct 04 05:15:04 i can delete files though just not folders :S Oct 04 05:15:59 Probably a permissions problem. Oct 04 05:16:40 I don't use NTFS (I like to keep my slugs running), so i don't know exactly what you'd need to change for that. Can't be too hard, though - Linux permissions are very simple. Oct 04 05:17:13 yea i know, ugh stupid ntfs Oct 04 05:17:13 lol Oct 04 05:18:32 Oh I don't know. NTFS works well enough -- it's just that it's proprietary, and MS has no inclination to let anyone know the internals unless you pay them for it, and sign your life away. It seems to be a reasonably good filesystem. Oct 04 05:19:23 yea in windows its good, in linux its still kinda sketchy Oct 04 05:19:45 would this be automatically run on boot up? /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd Oct 04 05:20:32 Should be. Assuming it is executable (chmod +x /opt/etc/init.d/S60mt-daapd), and that it's been tested and works. Oct 04 05:20:56 alright good Oct 04 05:21:12 lol one less problem Oct 04 05:21:29 so you dont know if ntfs support will get better any time soon or no Oct 04 05:22:29 I know that it won't change in Unslung -- Linksys has not released any updated firmware, and shows no signs of doing so. Oct 04 05:22:48 oh okay so i should upgrade to openslug? Oct 04 05:22:49 So there is currently no further development underway for Unslung. Oct 04 05:22:52 err slugos Oct 04 05:23:05 Depends. SlugOS is a different animal than Unslung. Oct 04 05:23:30 Unslung is "opened-up Linksys", SlugOS is a full Linux distribution intended for very small systems. Oct 04 05:24:12 So, for example, there is no web interface for SlugOS - no autocreation of samba shares, etc. Oct 04 05:24:57 oh... Oct 04 05:25:23 i see... i guess ill have to have some time on my hands when i feel like trying it out Oct 04 05:25:31 gotta run - good luck! Oct 04 05:25:38 ima call it a night 2 Oct 04 05:25:39 cya Oct 04 05:25:40 thx Oct 04 10:11:35 why can't accessing your own private web page be as easy to secure as installing an ssh server? all these ciphers and certs and stuff seem like a lot of work Oct 04 17:49:40 I might be on to something here... anyone heard of problem with the samba while beeing behind a router? Oct 04 17:49:48 I'm guessing the router is messing things up. Oct 04 17:50:09 Localhost is connected to a router, Nslu2 is also connected to the router Oct 04 17:51:08 I've forwarded the ports 137-139 udp/tcp and 445 ... the windows firewall is off atm... Oct 04 17:51:41 Samba is running, I've tried 200 confs no difference. Windows sees the Nslu2 but tells me that the device is not accessible Oct 04 17:52:05 I'm at the moment using SWAT to configure the samba Oct 04 17:52:46 Windows seems to complain about permissions... Oct 04 18:06:32 Hmm, this might be a hint. Windows: The parameter is incorrect Oct 04 18:06:44 I wonder what parameter windows is refering to... Oct 04 19:15:08 Can you belive this!!!!! Oct 04 19:15:29 3 days of trouble, reading every google page there is about troubleshooting samba ... Oct 04 19:15:56 and the problem is caused by my label on the slug "NSLU2/OPENSLUG" Oct 04 19:16:07 change of turnup init to only NSLU2 ... fixed everything Oct 04 19:16:39 ... I'm not sure if I should be glad that this is fixed or mad because of the stupidity of it Oct 04 19:20:23 ... Could anyone be kind and update the wiki? Oct 04 19:22:17 Or does a complete newbie as I'm dare to touch the wiki? Oct 04 19:37:36 Soheil, see rule 4 on the wiki frontpage... Oct 04 19:45:46 Ok, caplink811-log as soon as I've done the dishes :) Oct 04 20:45:57 hello Oct 04 20:46:02 i have a problem with debian Oct 04 20:46:11 statu led stay ambre Oct 04 20:46:25 and i can't connect the nas with ssh :/ Oct 04 20:46:57 someone may help me? Oct 04 20:50:14 I am not familiar with debian slug but did you check: Oct 04 20:50:14 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/TroubleShooting Oct 04 20:50:14 See the part "The slug hangs during reboot (stuck on orange LED, no HD activity.)" Oct 04 20:52:07 i have disk activities, but i just don't know what it does :D Oct 04 20:52:56 marcel mate :) Oct 04 20:56:04 PPmarcel, did you read this http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-nslu2-utils/trunk/debian/README.Debian?op=file ? Oct 04 20:56:33 caplink811-log: i actually fix /etc/default/rcS Oct 04 20:56:43 i read your link Oct 04 20:57:01 yes, i already read this Oct 04 20:58:42 anyway, if it really don't work, i'll use the tarball Martin Michlmayr Oct 04 21:53:30 Trying to unsling and I format the disk thorugh the web interface but it says it's FAT16/32 when it finishes. The guide says it's supposed to be ext3 Oct 04 21:53:36 Should I continue? Oct 04 22:07:59 'Formatted (FAT16/32)' is what my status says Oct 04 22:08:40 Then something is not right. Best to find out what it is and fix it. Oct 04 22:08:47 But 'Do not continue if the drive Oct 04 22:08:47 is not marked as "Formatted (ext3)" in the NSLU2 web interface. Oct 04 22:09:00 is what the guide says Oct 04 22:09:37 could someone with oper perms -please- ban gouki? Oct 04 22:10:07 mocker: Yes - don't continue until you find the problem and fix it. Oct 04 22:10:33 Hmm, where should I look? Oct 04 22:11:07 The wiki is a good place to start, there is a troubleshooting section. Oct 04 22:11:20 What type of drive do you have? Oct 04 22:15:02 good night Oct 04 22:16:51 mwester: It's a flash drive. Oct 04 22:16:59 Formatting through the web interface. Oct 04 22:19:38 mocker: Ok, I guessed that. :) What make and model, and size? Oct 04 22:20:50 Generic 1gig Oct 04 22:21:04 By generic I mean 'store brand' :) Oct 04 22:21:47 "Fred's Corner Grocery" Oct 04 22:22:12 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/FailedFormatFix Oct 04 22:22:15 think I found it. Oct 04 22:22:17 thanks Oct 04 22:22:27 It might also be a U3 device. Oct 04 22:22:32 Check that as well... Oct 04 22:23:59 teun, tell us more about your issues...
