Jan 05 10:34:35 <Simula77> has anyone had success installing sshfs on unslung 6.8?
Jan 05 10:38:03 <Simula77> ...or fuse for that matter?
Jan 05 10:38:40 <Simula77> i am unable to install any of the fuse packages -> http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/result.php?query=fuse&searchtype=package&section=
Jan 05 10:39:08 <Simula77> which are needed to compile sshfs: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html
Jan 05 10:39:23 <Simula77> any help is greatly appreciated
Jan 05 10:48:20 <Simula77> ok, i think i now installed fuse succesfully
Jan 05 10:48:55 <Simula77> now i will try to compile sshfs which is interesting for a linux n00b like myself
Jan 05 10:51:59 <Simula77> "configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH"
Jan 05 10:52:01 <Simula77> :(
Jan 05 11:09:24 <daveyboy_> guys. i formated 2nd hard drive (not unslung one) with ext3 using partition magic, however slug said it wasnt formatted.so did it with unslung... but the ext3 plugin i got for win xp finds it but doesnt let me add files. anyone recomend anything?
Jan 05 11:13:36 <SyNko> trash all (XP + PArtition Magic + the program forreading ext3)
Jan 05 11:13:45 <SyNko> all balls
Jan 05 11:14:14 <SyNko> the sw that you need is big 100Kb, dont be ridiculous
Jan 05 11:15:13 <SyNko> attach the hd to the slug
Jan 05 11:16:25 <SyNko> go on the web interface and choos disk management then format it with the dedicated button
Jan 05 11:16:48 <SyNko> daveyboy_: ^^
Jan 05 11:18:36 <daveyboy_> yea done that
Jan 05 11:18:46 <daveyboy_> now trying to find app that lets me access.
Jan 05 11:19:03 <SyNko> outside the nslu?
Jan 05 11:19:04 <daveyboy_> when i install plugin (tried 2 now on xp) it finds drive but says its not formated
Jan 05 11:19:06 <daveyboy_> yea
Jan 05 11:19:16 <daveyboy_> brb restsard
Jan 05 11:19:21 <daveyboy_> restart*
Jan 05 11:19:35 <SyNko> is simple use linux live cd
Jan 05 11:20:46 <daveyboy_> hey. yea is there any plugin u can recomend for readuing teh slug formated hard drives on xp?
Jan 05 11:21:42 <SyNko> simple install virtual pc or vmware
Jan 05 11:21:55 <SyNko> and make a linux distro installation
Jan 05 11:22:26 <SyNko> ive tried in the past the same plugs for xp, but they have lack of compatibility
Jan 05 11:22:41 <daveyboy_> ah right. yea i just uninstalled that. not really option i want though. heard it was doable via plugin (easier than getting friends to install distro or getting boot cd)
Jan 05 11:24:19 <SyNko> i dont trust your plugin -way soz
Jan 05 11:53:16 <Simula77> has anyone here compiled anything succesfully on unslung?
Jan 05 11:53:23 <Simula77> this page is a mess: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/NativeNSLU2Toolchain
Jan 05 12:18:58 <Simula77> i am unable to install libc6
Jan 05 12:19:19 <Simula77> also unable to install libgcc1
Jan 05 12:19:51 <Simula77> and as a result unable to install gcc
Jan 05 12:20:33 <Simula77> cannot compile sshfs :(
Jan 05 12:20:44 <Simula77> i guess i'll just give up
Jan 05 12:23:07 <Reedy_Boy> Simula77, firmware?
Jan 05 12:23:13 <Reedy_Boy> Can you install anything?
Jan 05 12:23:45 <Simula77> sure i can
Jan 05 12:23:56 <Simula77> but i was hoping to compile sshfs
Jan 05 12:24:26 <Simula77> and the pages describing the necessary requirements are pretty old and vague
Jan 05 12:25:21 <Simula77> it would be cool to have sshfs working on unslung but maybe i'll leave it to more experienced people
Jan 05 12:27:11 <rwhitby> Simula77: we pretty much cross-compile everything these days.  that's why the native toolchain has fallen into disrepair.
Jan 05 12:27:58 <Simula77> o
Jan 05 12:27:59 <Simula77> k
Jan 05 12:29:02 <Simula77> i guess i was overly optimistic about my abilities, it seemed pretty easy on this page: http://fuse.sourceforge.net/sshfs.html
Jan 05 12:30:53 <Simula77> damn my n00biness
Jan 05 12:48:43 <Simula77> i gave up and humbly added a request here: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/PackageWishList
Jan 05 14:59:22 <gouki> How exactly can I do to stop the light on status/ready from blinking orange/green (under debian)?
Jan 05 15:01:24 <SyNko> open the slug and detach the led :) 
Jan 05 15:02:20 <Reedy_Boy> Nah
Jan 05 15:02:23 <Reedy_Boy> there is a software way
Jan 05 15:02:26 <Reedy_Boy> to make it just go green
Jan 05 15:02:36 <Reedy_Boy> one of the dev's has posted it whilst ive been in here before
Jan 05 15:16:21 <gouki> Actually, there is
Jan 05 15:16:32 <gouki> It has been said on this channel already, I just can't recall it
Jan 05 15:16:38 <gouki> leds .... something
Jan 05 15:17:39 <Reedy_Boy> yeah
Jan 05 15:17:51 <Reedy_Boy> hence me saying it
Jan 05 15:53:56 <daveyboy_> guys, since i unslung, accessing data from xbox has been slower.... anyone got any ideas why this could be?
Jan 05 15:59:17 <erikja> in ds101j i have problems starting up midnight commander. what can be the reason ? mc: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Jan 05 16:03:22 <eno> erikja: libcom_err.so is part of e2fsprogs, try "ipkg install e2fsprogs"
Jan 05 16:03:49 <erikja> eno: thanks my firend I'll try that out 
Jan 05 16:05:36 <erikja> eno: it already is installed :-(
Jan 05 16:14:18 <erikja> eno: have you left the channel ?
Jan 05 16:19:07 <SyNko> hey men, im choosing the endianness now, somebody is there to discuss on the best choice?(ive studied what they are)
Jan 05 16:19:35 <Reedy_Boy> just ask away
Jan 05 16:19:39 <Reedy_Boy> someone will generally anser
Jan 05 16:19:41 <Reedy_Boy> answer
Jan 05 16:21:08 <SyNko> ive choosen in the end the le, but i want ask:: Is a really gain in speed the Le distro?
Jan 05 16:22:11 <SyNko> <(compared to the LE lack of packages and device support)>
Jan 05 16:22:55 <SyNko> Reedy_Boy: Are you ready ? :) for the  answer
Jan 05 16:28:09 * Reedy_Boy doesnt really know
Jan 05 16:51:11 <mwester> SyNko:  There is no general answer to the question of whether LE or BE is faster.  It depends on the application and the task.
Jan 05 17:25:45 <SyNko> mwester: im studing more, ive found many docs about :: Big-endian byte order is also used in the Internet protocols. :: Endianness means the order in which the bytes of a value larger than one byte are stored in memory. This affects, e.g., integer values and pointers while, e.g., arrays of single-byte characters are not affected. The GPC String schema, however, contains Capacity and Length fields before the character
Jan 05 17:42:42 <scant> hi eno
Jan 05 17:49:32 <Simula77> i wish i had given up on compiling sshfs
Jan 05 17:49:41 <Simula77> still no luck but a lot of time wasted
Jan 05 18:49:59 <Simula77> there is a fuse-module package available for unslung but does it work properly?
Jan 05 18:50:26 <Simula77> there seem to have been problems with fuse on ARM devices in general but are they now fixed?
Jan 05 18:51:24 <mwester> Simula77:  Its unclear if anyone has ever tested the fuse module.
Jan 05 18:52:03 <Simula77> ok
Jan 05 18:52:56 <Simula77> i installed fuse but while trying to compile sshfs, it complains about fuse not being installed
Jan 05 18:53:37 <Simula77> could be just my n00biness though
Jan 05 18:55:23 <mwester> ipkg usually splits a package into multiple smaller parts.  You may have only the run-time installed on the NSLU2 (which makes sense for most users).  Is there are <fuse-package-name>-dev package?  Or perhaps a <fuse-whaever-name>lib package?
Jan 05 18:55:57 * mwester appears to be suffering from poor-grammer-itis this morning.
Jan 05 19:00:00 <Simula77> i did 'ipkg list | grep fuse' and it only showed fuse-module
Jan 05 19:02:41 <mwester> What's the version number of the fuse-module?
Jan 05 19:02:48 <mwester> (full name of the package will have that)
Jan 05 19:18:18 <Simula77> sorry, i was away for a while
Jan 05 19:18:41 <Simula77> i installed 2.7.1-r0
Jan 05 19:28:10 <Simula77> i guess i'll try downloading and installing the dev package of fuse and if that doesn't work i will (hopefully) just stop
Jan 05 19:30:14 <Simula77> "fuse-module: unsatisfied recommendation for libfuse2"
Jan 05 19:30:16 <Simula77> hmm
Jan 05 19:48:47 <Simula77> "Perhaps you should add the directory containing `fuse.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable"
Jan 05 19:49:04 <Simula77> but there is no fuse.pc on my slug
