**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 28 02:59:57 2008 Jan 28 13:22:52 hmmm i need help with my nslu2 with unslung and lighttpd mysql and php on it:/ Jan 28 14:24:33 Darn. The wget that comes with busybox is really limited. Jan 28 14:24:51 hehe Jan 28 14:25:36 I was gonna start a porn siterip on my slug... Jan 28 14:26:04 :) Jan 28 14:26:21 what's limited about wget? Jan 28 14:27:38 Busybox's wget (ie. the one on Unslung) doesn't do recursive downloads. Jan 28 14:27:43 Just one file at a time. Jan 28 14:27:46 It seems. Jan 28 14:27:47 hehe Jan 28 14:27:56 well its limitit on allw ways Jan 28 14:27:57 damnit Jan 28 14:28:17 phpbb wont even install on my nslu Jan 28 14:28:28 ipkg install ipkg-utils Jan 28 14:28:34 I think that wget does it Jan 28 14:29:00 umount: cannot umount /share/flash/data: Device or resource busy grrr Jan 28 16:10:21 hmmm i just read that the nslu has 64mb ram? :/ Jan 28 16:14:11 Not unless they have a newer version out Jan 28 16:14:17 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ModifyMemorySize Jan 28 16:14:18 :/ Jan 28 17:13:41 So, I've run debootstrap on my slugos/le installation, now I want to boot into it. The problem is that when I try, I can't connect with ssh, and it doesn't seem to be working correctly beyond that. The status LED is green, flashing orange twice every second in a heartbeat pattern. What can I do other than add the serial port mod? Jan 28 17:22:01 9/win 14 Jan 28 17:22:03 doh Jan 28 17:27:18 Annirak: what are you trying to do, and is there a wiki page you are following? (I think the debootstrap stuff is obsoleted now that there is proper (full) support for the NSLU2 in the Debian/ARM distro) Jan 28 17:38:41 mwester: First, I had no end of problems with the di-config install. I had constant memory problems, with crashes every time I tried to get the install to go. So I went looking for solutions, and tried partitioning ahead of time and premounting the swap. That didn't work either; it crashed out anyway. So I went to the only solution that looked like it would work. And the slugos/le +... Jan 28 17:38:42 ...debootstrap solution seems to have worked except that now it doesn't chainload into the ready system. The wiki I followed is here: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/SlugOS/BootstrapLE Jan 28 17:51:28 Annirak: the text in bright red rather tells the story, I think. Jan 28 17:52:20 Great so the recommended install procedure is the broken one, and the one that works is deprecated. Lovely. Jan 28 17:53:03 Like I said. I don't have a problem with the install. I have a problem with the final configuration. Jan 28 17:53:04 Did you seek help on the ARM/Debian channel for the debian install issue (the debian folks don't hang about on the NSLU2 channels). Jan 28 17:54:27 I didn't know to look there. But as I had tried all the recommended fixes, it didn't really seem like the way to go. I must say that I'm not terribly thrilled with the idea of taking a fully configured system that's just experiencing some boot issues and doing a reinstall. Jan 28 17:55:01 (There's been sufficient divergence in SlugOS as well as the Debian stuff that I'm not surprised that the debianslug approach no longer works; you'll probably need a serial console to find out what's not working (I suspect the network is failing to come up). Jan 28 17:55:23 the network comes up in the plain slugos/le Jan 28 17:55:31 I'm actually booted into that right now Jan 28 17:55:50 Annirak: Boot problems with Debian on the NSLU2 almost always result in a reinstall; that's one of the significant differences with the standard SlugOS vs Debian distros. Jan 28 17:57:16 That's ridiculous. I have ssh access to slugos/le. I have access via usb to the disk that debian is installed to. All I need is help on configuring the slugos/le chainloader correctly. Jan 28 17:57:31 What chainloader? Jan 28 17:58:42 When you boot slugos/le with a USB disk connected, it has the option of booting into the system on the disk. You set that with turnup --disk Jan 28 17:59:22 The message is given with every login to slugos: "Use 'turnup disk|nfs -i options to initialise a non-flash root" Jan 28 17:59:46 Right. That's not a bootloader thing though. Jan 28 18:00:30 Are there log files which would tell me what went wrong? Jan 28 18:01:21 The whole thing on that wiki page is discussing the hackery required to make the SlugOS mechanism to switch over to a rootfs on the external device work with a debian rootfs on that device. It only works with that specific set of firmware images (you can't use the latest 4.8 SlugOS/LE firmware) and that version of Debian. Jan 28 18:01:38 There are no log files, as there is no way to log the info at that point in the boot. Jan 28 18:02:23 I err... upgraded the version of debian in use a tad. I installed sid. Jan 28 18:02:43 There have been experiments run (with limited success) that involve the use of netconsole and netcat to capture the output of that part of the early init process, but ultimately you need a serial console if you are serious about messing with this part of the boot. Jan 28 18:03:29 ok, well, I'll have to wire one up then Jan 28 18:04:38 Frankly, most of the conversations here and on the mailing list result in sucess with the standard debian installer -- I think sorting that problem out might be the route to take. I know there are issues with swap space and large disks, but I thoguht those were all well known to the Debian folks (who don't hang about on this IRC channel, sadly). Jan 28 18:06:19 Let me add another variable into the mix: I have modded this board up to be a fatslug. It doesn't have the kernel configured for the extra memory yet, but that is one of my end goals. Given that, which way would you suggest? Jan 28 18:09:11 so the debian people hang about in #debonaras? Jan 28 18:14:15 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/IRC Jan 28 18:27:43 hey guys Jan 28 18:28:27 having problem with shares thats got group 501. how can i easily change group ownership or add user to existing group so i can access the share? Jan 28 19:55:18 reedy, i tracked prob down to those folders having strange permisions, i just managed to sucessfully conect to new folder i created as user. whats easiest way of copying/moving all contents of folder to somewhere else? Jan 28 19:55:25 i been using cp -r Jan 28 19:55:45 I use cp -auv Jan 28 19:55:58 whats auv Jan 28 19:56:53 archive (same as dpPR), update, verbose Jan 28 19:58:30 so it doesn't follow symbolic links, it preserves time and date, etc. and it recurses. d is actually redundant in that meaning. I should smack that manpage writer. Jan 28 19:59:17 lol Jan 28 19:59:48 fair enough. unless u can think of easier way of chaging permisions of whole folder from 501 group (i dotn even have 501 on here) Jan 28 20:00:11 chgrp ? Jan 28 20:02:30 just reading up on how to use it (got some IMPORTANT data her...aka all my music and films!) Jan 28 20:03:25 with root, your gonna be able to change it again.. Jan 28 20:03:28 sudo chgrp someone -R * Jan 28 20:04:37 make sure you do any copies/moves as root Jan 28 20:04:42 someone being the person i want it to be? or the group it alteady belongs to? Jan 28 20:04:56 someone you want it to be Jan 28 20:05:13 if you don't do copies/moves as root, you may miss files Jan 28 20:05:21 ill give u example.... in /mnt/harddrive/Music folder and all contents are group 501. i want it to belong to user david (and obv have permisions as root) Jan 28 20:05:46 hmmmm even with umount my nslu crashes when i remove the disk Jan 28 20:06:06 Dennisb1: you may need the swap Jan 28 20:06:15 or you may have forgotten to runswapoff Jan 28 20:06:40 daveyboy_: sudo chgrp david /mnt/harddrive/Music\ folder -R Jan 28 20:07:00 no there is no swap on that disk Jan 28 20:07:08 i unmounted every thing on that disk before remove it Jan 28 20:07:43 Dennisb1: what OS are you running? Jan 28 20:07:46 unslung Jan 28 20:07:57 hmmmm its not mouting my other usb disk:S even after reboot Jan 28 20:08:05 o wait ntfs... Jan 28 20:08:27 I don't know unslung. SOrry Jan 28 20:14:21 i love you guy!!!! FINALLY got samba working :D:D:D:D:D:D! Jan 28 20:14:48 Glad I could help... Jan 28 20:14:55 haha cheers Jan 28 20:15:15 right now rtorrent is next ;) wheres that guide Reedy_Boy Jan 28 20:15:24 on the wiki ;) Jan 28 20:15:30 I don't suppose you know how to get slugos/le + debian working, do you? Jan 28 20:15:46 daveyboy_, i'll upload my feed too Jan 28 20:15:57 cheers Jan 28 20:16:05 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/OptwareRtorrentOnDebian Jan 28 20:16:32 give me 5 mins Jan 28 20:17:03 np Jan 28 20:17:39 Any of you guys manage to get the debian installer rc2 working? I've tried like 4 times with no luck. It just keeps crashing before it can DL the base system. I suppose this could be because I went for reiserfs rather than ext3. But ext is so crappy... :( Jan 28 20:20:59 i used latest debian installer yea Jan 28 20:21:07 http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php Jan 28 20:21:11 Debian/NSLU2 Stable 4.0r2 Jan 28 20:21:12 works fine Jan 28 20:21:46 the rc2 one is ancient Jan 28 20:22:56 Reedy_Boy: ah, yeah, the one you linked *is* the one I used Jan 28 20:23:06 No matter what I did, I got crashes. Jan 28 20:23:10 r2, its not rc2 ;) Jan 28 20:23:12 Release 2 Jan 28 20:23:20 updates to the debian default packages Jan 28 20:25:38 Reedy_Boy just case of following ure guide? Jan 28 20:25:59 yeah Jan 28 20:27:27 Reedy_Boy: I used debian-4.0r2 Jan 28 20:27:58 Could try just using resierFS after you've installed.. Jan 28 20:28:23 but then my intramfs won't be built with reiser support Jan 28 20:28:30 although Jan 28 20:28:37 I'm beginning to like xfs better Jan 28 20:28:54 but that has the same problems Jan 28 20:29:01 well... I haven't tried it... Jan 28 20:29:24 Annirak, http://www.nabble.com/Problem-with-XFS-on-NSLU2--td14171563.html Jan 28 20:29:28 Dont use XFS on arm/debian atm Jan 28 20:30:32 oooook, so jfs or reiser then Jan 28 20:30:44 Maybe I should give it a go with jfs. Jan 28 20:31:28 So, if I were to give the debian installer a go, knowing that I already have a disk with an installed debian system, is there any way to salvage what I have, and not go through the entire install process again? Jan 28 20:32:26 dunno Jan 28 20:32:32 does it boot? Jan 28 20:33:04 well, as I said, it's slugos/le + debian atm. All the packages are installed. Jan 28 20:33:15 But no boot. Or rather, none that I can follow Jan 28 20:35:10 daveyboy_, http://ipkg.reedyboy.net/optware-arm-etch Jan 28 20:38:02 is that path that needs editing into ipkg.config cos i already done that Jan 28 20:38:10 yeah Jan 28 20:38:18 either or Jan 28 20:38:25 ah ok Jan 28 20:38:26 cool Jan 28 20:39:28 ipkg config file has this entry (which is failing... do i just need to remove the local....src local http://www.mediamax.com/bzhou/Hosted/optware/cs04q3armel Jan 28 20:39:29 dest root / Jan 28 20:39:52 crap i cant adjust the spindown time of my harddisk's Jan 28 20:40:21 hm Jan 28 20:40:51 daveyboy_, yeah, change it Jan 28 20:41:43 testing ure website anyway now Jan 28 20:41:50 will let u know if it installs right Jan 28 20:45:30 yup thats installed. just getting screen before i run it. nice qwork :D Jan 28 20:49:09 stupid question, but how am i running it? type in rtorrent aint working Jan 28 20:49:48 /opt/bin/rtorrent Jan 28 20:49:53 as it isnt in your path variable Jan 28 20:50:26 yea thast better. i thought it was that, tried other locations first Jan 28 20:50:55 anything in optware is in /opt Jan 28 20:50:56 right rtorrent config, then ntorrent.... then FINALLY, a ftp server :D Jan 28 20:51:01 enough for 1 day eh Jan 28 20:51:36 lol Jan 28 20:51:42 wont take you long to get ntorrent going Jan 28 20:51:45 and ftp would be quick Jan 28 20:51:53 whats good client to use?

(Yup, I'm your regular newbie). I had to add a --without-openssl argument in the .mk-file, since the original coders source needed that to compile. But I couldn't get it to work by adding another row with --without-openssl \ - I had to put this next to the others. Should I really do it like that? Jan 28 21:02:07 what "scgi_port, = localhost:5000" Jan 28 21:02:24 ElGuiri, you want #nslu2-linux Jan 28 21:02:35 sorry Jan 28 21:02:38 :) Jan 28 21:02:41 daveyboy_, yeah Jan 28 21:04:01 k.... woop rtorrent with xmlrpc :D Jan 28 21:05:42 reedy t he comman in "scgi_port, = localhost:5000" hat u said to add causes probs. error in option file Jan 28 21:06:19 i didnt notice that Jan 28 21:06:21 no comma ;) Jan 28 21:06:57 OH Jan 28 21:06:59 i see what you mean Jan 28 21:07:00 ha thats what i already had :P no worrys Jan 28 21:07:01 lol Jan 28 21:07:07 its port, Jan 28 21:07:12 heheh Jan 28 21:07:13 i see why you thought that Jan 28 21:07:19 nevermind. easily fixed Jan 28 21:22:09 right, did you have file access issues? did lighthhtp and also otehr folder have to have write permisions?
