Nov 03 03:30:49 <osas> check the wiki
Nov 03 03:31:03 <osas> you need to flash the nslu with the debian firmware
Nov 03 04:09:42 <gouki> osas, thank you.
Nov 03 16:14:54 <KenNeedsHelp> hi folks, any brains around?
Nov 03 16:16:35 <KenNeedsHelp> I have an unslung NSLU-2 which has been working fine for months, but since a network re-org, doesn't want to talk to me any more.
Nov 03 16:17:29 <nyef> Maybe it's listening on the wrong address?
Nov 03 16:18:48 <KenNeedsHelp> a little more info.... I reverted everything back to where it was...
Nov 03 16:19:01 <KenNeedsHelp> a hunt around the network finds it at 192.168.1.77, right where it's supposed to be, but the HTTP config isn't responding...
Nov 03 16:19:13 <KenNeedsHelp> the SSH daemon isn't accepting connections any more
Nov 03 16:19:40 <KenNeedsHelp> and SMB connections are all refused with wrong-user/password errors.
Nov 03 16:19:45 <nyef> And turning it off and back on again doesn't help?
Nov 03 16:20:02 <KenNeedsHelp> tried that several times
Nov 03 16:20:26 <KenNeedsHelp> powered the entire network down overnight
Nov 03 16:20:34 <nyef> Hrm... Dunno.
Nov 03 16:20:41 <KenNeedsHelp> me neither!
Nov 03 16:20:49 <KenNeedsHelp> it's THERE..... just doesn't like me any more
Nov 03 16:21:24 <KenNeedsHelp> I think the config has gone a little squiffy.... but got no idea what to do about it since I can't access the config!
Nov 03 16:23:12 <nyef> Do I remember rightly that the config is sometimes stored on a partition on an external drive?
Nov 03 16:23:46 <nyef> Maybe you can get at it that way.
Nov 03 16:24:25 <nyef> (Another thought is, did you switch which USB port the drive is on? I remember reading that the linksys firmware can be a little pissy about what goes on which ports.)
Nov 03 16:24:42 <KenNeedsHelp> yeah since it's unslung, everything lives on the drive..... now to find something that can read an ext3-formatted drive!
Nov 03 16:24:52 <KenNeedsHelp> Nope, everything plugged in right where it was
Nov 03 16:24:58 <nyef> Any random linux box should be able to.
Nov 03 16:25:15 <KenNeedsHelp> ...and then gotta figure out what's broken and how to fix it <<sigh>>
Nov 03 16:25:40 <nyef> There might be filesystem drivers for windows as well, or many emulators allow for passthrough access to a physical drive.
Nov 03 16:26:28 <KenNeedsHelp> hmmm my Ubuntu VirtualBox might be the thing I need for that... 
Nov 03 16:27:23 <KenNeedsHelp> wonder if it's worth just starting from scratch... is there an easy "revert to factory" option, if the HTTP config is not available?
Nov 03 16:27:56 <nyef> Well, if you never loaded new firmware, booting it without the drive might do the trick.
Nov 03 16:28:41 <nyef> And if you -did- load new firmware, you can always reflash it by putting the device in upgrade mode and using upslug2 or whatever.
Nov 03 16:29:27 <KenNeedsHelp> looks like I need to do some Googling! Does unslinging count as loading new firmware?
Nov 03 16:29:41 <nyef> That I don't know.
Nov 03 16:29:58 <nyef> I went straight for slugos/be when I set mine up a couple weeks ago.
Nov 03 16:32:34 <KenNeedsHelp> OK, looks like reflashing is the best option. Thanks for your help.
Nov 03 16:32:46 <nyef> No problem. Best of luck.
Nov 03 16:59:17 <SM_Barbie> Ahoi
Nov 03 16:59:39 <SM_Barbie> I have a question regarding nfs: my loadavg explodes .. is that a common thing?
Nov 03 17:01:45 <nyef> Not at all familiar with it, but I can't imagine that it would be, and a significant loadavg raise from a non-computational source is usually a busy-wait of some sort, so I'd worry about the nfs lockd... I think.
Nov 03 17:02:14 <nyef> Alternately, it might be very normal. I have no idea.
Nov 03 17:02:30 * nyef is obviously clueless.
Nov 03 17:06:37 <SM_Barbie> I am reading some newsposts from 2005, maybe I get a clue there :)
Nov 03 17:10:09 <nyef> Best of luck, then.
Nov 03 17:15:55 <SM_Barbie> the ethernet driver also causes a constant load of at least 1
Nov 03 17:15:58 <SM_Barbie> is there a fix for this?
Nov 03 17:29:42 <mwester> SM_Barbie:  Not with Unslung; that's the nature of the Intel/Linksys driver. It causes no harm; there's nothing consuming excess resources.
Nov 03 17:36:01 <SM_Barbie> okay
Nov 03 17:36:09 <SM_Barbie> but it will add to the load experience I have
Nov 03 17:36:22 <SM_Barbie> with 4 threads > 4, with 8 threads (too much I think) > 8
Nov 03 17:38:45 <SM_Barbie> performance is decent though, so I will just ignore the high load I guess
Nov 03 21:40:09 <lyakh> cool. connected to my nslu2 1 wlan and 1 usb-eth and made it a router between 3 networks: on one as openvpn-client, on another one over usb-eth-powerline as openvpn server
Nov 03 21:40:17 <lyakh> powerline 85mbps
Nov 03 21:40:30 <lyakh> transferrate 600-700KB/s
Nov 03 21:40:46 <lyakh> on nslu2 openvpn consumes 100% CPU:-)
Nov 03 21:50:52 <mwester> lyakh:  did you de-underclock it?
Nov 03 21:54:11 <lyakh> mwester, no, I heard newer ones are not underclocked any more?
Nov 03 21:55:36 <lyakh> 266 bogomips under 2.6.22
Nov 04 02:20:44 <leesiulung> how do one find the mac address of the unit?
Nov 04 02:23:50 <leesiulung> anyone?
Nov 04 02:31:33 <mwester> Did you search the FAQ on the wiki?       http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/MacAddress
