**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 22 02:59:56 2008 Mar 22 03:34:31 Newb, I have a nslu2 on the way and I am trying to collect as much info as possible before it arrives so when it does I can get it up and running... I want to run hellanzb on my nslu, I noticed that it is an available package using this site, http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/, but there are 3 packages py, py24, and py25... so which one would I use ? Mar 22 03:52:52 basskozz: py is being phased out, py24 is for python2.4, py25 python2.5 Mar 22 04:51:43 Nice, so i'll go w/ py25-hellanzb then, Thanks eno Mar 22 04:55:03 np Mar 22 05:40:44 I'm thinking of getting an NSLU2 to use with a 1TB external drive--any issues accessing a drive this size with SlugOS? Mar 22 05:58:08 hackel, I don't believe so Mar 22 06:00:43 Nimmit: Excellent, thanks. Mar 22 14:44:25 I need some help with a stock nslu2 and have some general questions. Is anyone here? Mar 22 14:48:00 Don't ask to ask, just ask your question -- if someone has an answer, they'll probably respond. Be patient, people don't usually wait here; they're off doing other things and check back from time to time... Mar 22 14:58:24 Oh.. Okay... Mar 22 14:59:20 I've got a couple of questions. I got a NSLU2 off of Ebay. 1) If the botton resistor is ON the pwb, and not been removed, does that mean that it is only running at 133mhz? I don't see a date code anywhere on the case or pwb. Mar 22 15:00:15 2) WHen I got it I could "Get to it". Didn't know the IP. I got the UPSLUG2 s/w for Ubuntu and installed it, and then flashed it with the original firmware, r23.v63. Mar 22 15:00:27 err that should have said couln't get to it. Mar 22 15:00:59 Before reflashing it I tried both the 2 second reset, and the 10 second reset, neither of which seemed to make any difference. Mar 22 15:01:28 So, after reflashing it I was able to get logged in and change the ip to 192.168.0.1. Mar 22 15:02:06 But, no matter what device I attached, usb enclosed HDD or USB Flash drive, it always said "Can not format, device is not an HDD". Mar 22 15:02:46 I powered it off for the night, and the next night a powered it back up, and was unable to get to it. I've also reflashed it several more times, tried the resets again, and still nothing. Mar 22 15:02:51 Any ideas? Mar 22 15:05:05 Is there a way to get it to reveal the IP address it is using? UPSLUG2 can see it, and can tell the MAC Address. I don't see an option for the ip... Mar 22 15:05:34 I've also noted that UPSLUG2 says that it is in reflash mode, even when the green power light is solid. Is that a problem? Mar 22 15:16:46 For the overclocking, there are other ways they can de-underclock it - easiest way is when you have shell access is to do cat /proc/cpuinfo Mar 22 15:21:32 One problem at a time... Mar 22 15:21:58 First, why did you select 192.168.0.1? Is that your subnet for your local network? Mar 22 15:22:11 How did you change that? From the web gui? Mar 22 15:38:53 mwester, yes. I used the gui, and my dsl modem is 192.168.0.1 Mar 22 15:39:25 reedy_boy - Okay, I've got that written down so when I have shell access I can check it. Mar 22 15:40:34 You can't have more than one device with the same IP. Mar 22 15:40:44 If your dsl modem is 192.168.0.1, you have just created a duplicate address on your network by assigning the same address to the NSLU2. One or both of the devices should drop off the network upon detecting that condition. Mar 22 15:41:44 mwester - OOPS! Type-o! I changed the device to 192.168.0.77 sorry! Mar 22 15:42:50 It boots up. The power light and ethernet light are on. But I don't know the ip. It doesn't answer to 192.168.0.77 or 192.168.1.77 and I've tri8ed severl computers Mar 22 15:43:19

So, after reflashing it I was able to get logged in and change the ip to 192.168.0.1. Mar 22 15:43:41 Is that the IP your still expecting it to be on? Mar 22 15:44:12 For example, the power light is solid right now. But when I run upslug2 from ubuntu it shows the MAC and firmware revision even though it is not in flashmode. Mar 22 15:45:11 solid what colour? Mar 22 15:45:18 re3dyb0y - that was the first day. After that, I couldn't get it to format any drive I attached to it, including USB HDD and USB Flash. Gave up, went to bed. Then next night it was unresponsive when I was ready to give it a go again... Mar 22 15:45:19 Green Mar 22 15:46:17 I can flash it right now with UPSLUG2 with a solid green light. That's not right, is it? Mar 22 15:47:27 If I just upslug2 it right now, I get some numbers, the MAC address, Product ID of 1, Protocol ID of 0 and Firmware Version R23V63 [0x2363] Mar 22 15:47:43 I'm thinking that it might be broken? Mar 22 15:48:26 reedyboy - No, because I have reflashed it, I'm expecting it to be 192.168.1.77, the default. Mar 22 15:48:43 Reflashing doesn't change the network settings. Mar 22 15:49:13 Okay. I've tried the reset button, both the IP reset (2 seconds) and the 10 seconds to reset the admin password. Mar 22 15:49:27 It doesn't respond to .1.77 or .0.77 on any computer I have Mar 22 15:49:36 is your router a DHCP server? Mar 22 15:49:39 Unplug it from the network, boot it up that way, wait for the final beep, then plug it back on the network. Mar 22 15:50:05 reedyboy - Yes Mar 22 15:50:10 mwester - okay Mar 22 15:50:31 The NSLU2 bootloader will take on the 192.168.0.1 IP address for a moment during boot; if you router/gateway has that same address, there could be a conflict that is causing it to fail the boot. Mar 22 15:51:11 I wonder if I fat fingered it? How do I know it "failed to boot"? The power light is solid green. Mar 22 15:51:38 listen for the beep. Mar 22 15:52:12 What firmware did you flash? Mar 22 15:54:14 I flash r23v63 Mar 22 15:54:54 And you used upslug2 to do so? Mar 22 15:55:00 Yes Mar 22 15:55:26 It went through the erase cycle, the flash cycle, and the verify cycle? Mar 22 15:55:27 Powered it up... The power light is flashing green Mar 22 15:55:33 Yes, it did. Mar 22 15:55:49 It just beeped, and the power/ready light is now solid green, no ethernet wire. Mar 22 15:55:57 So, do I plug in the ethernet now? Mar 22 15:56:14 Ok. So if you installed the stock Linksys firmware, upslug2 will report it in upgrade mode even when it is running. Mar 22 15:56:36 when you did the upslug2, how did you enter upgrade mode - via reset button, and was the LED flashing? Mar 22 15:56:39 Ahhh! Okay, so that answers that question... It's not broken! Mar 22 15:57:03 No, it's not. (We don't often get questions about stock Linksys firmware ;) Mar 22 15:57:06 mwester - I've done it with both the solid green light, and with the light flashing ready for the upgrade mode. Mar 22 15:58:10 I want to learn the "Stock" stuff before I change over to something else. Plus it says that you have to ensure that your HDD's will work in "stock" mode before upgrading, and that is the problem I was having. Mar 22 15:58:31 Ok, well at this point I expect we don't really know what's flashed and how. Did you get the unit new? Mar 22 15:59:01 He said ebay.. so could be new, old, flashed with something. Mar 22 15:59:04 I got it off ebay. Mar 22 15:59:12 Was it boxed new, or opened? Mar 22 15:59:23 Smurf-Slayer, there isnt much too really learn on the stock firmware tbh Mar 22 15:59:28 It was open.. .Just got the PS, the unit and the ethernet cable Mar 22 16:00:03 Right, thats what I thought, but I need to make sure my USB enclosure, HDD setup is compatable, right? And since when it "was working" I couldn't format any of them... Mar 22 16:00:16 Ok, so lets assume that we don't know what the settings were, nor do we know what was flashed. Mar 22 16:00:26 Right. Mar 22 16:00:28 Works for me. Mar 22 16:00:38 Smurf-Slayer, you dont necesserily need to check that.. Depending on where your going OS wise in the future, and therefore whatya doing with it Mar 22 16:00:40 Let's start with the assumption that the unit is totally trashed -- you need to enter upgrade mode using the reset button method. Mar 22 16:01:15 re3dyb0y: we do need to get either unslung or the linksys firmware loaded to reset the factory defaults, otherwise debian and possibly slugos will puke. Mar 22 16:01:23 reedyboy - I want to use it for storage, a streaming audio machine (maybe Twonky?) and maybe a web site server... Not really sure. Mar 22 16:01:56 mwester, agreed. I was just pointing out that everything is not necesserily lost if the drive wont work on the stock firmware ;) Mar 22 16:02:30 Oh, the drive - sorry, yes the disk drive might be an issue for the older Unslung and Linsys kernels. Mar 22 16:03:03 Yeaah, whereas with the other firmwares, they are much more happy Mar 22 16:03:13 Smurf-Slayer: Have you found the wiki page to enter upgrade mode using the reset button? Mar 22 16:03:23 Smurf-Slayer, presumably your fairly linux savvy being on ubuntu? Mar 22 16:03:43 mwester - yes Mar 22 16:03:46 reedyboy - yes Mar 22 16:05:46 Ok, with the LED flashing to indicate you are in upgrade mode (not running the Linksys firmware), let's flash the Unslung 6.10 firmware. Mar 22 16:06:07 (we have some tricks up our sleeve with that firmware, stuff that isn't (yet) documented in the wiki) Mar 22 16:06:48 ooh Mar 22 16:06:57 :p Mar 22 16:07:02 * eno get excited Mar 22 16:07:20 mwester, shall i alert everyone in the channel to get a pen and paper ready? :P Mar 22 16:07:38 * Reedy_Boy notes that that means 6.10 wasnt just a few package upgrades... Mar 22 16:07:49 Nope, but you can write the wiki article if it becomes necessary to use any of the new stuff. :P Mar 22 16:07:58 heh Mar 22 16:08:08 Okay... It's flashing red. Mar 22 16:08:16 (no, there was a bunch of stuff done to help debug console-less NSLU2s) Mar 22 16:08:17 I've got the 6.10 on my desktop. Mar 22 16:08:23 ahhh Mar 22 16:08:36 Cool, upslug2 should report it in upgrade mode, and then just flash the .bin file... Mar 22 16:08:41 My unslung NSLU2 is doing naff all, due to it *STILL* not being accessible via the network in upgrade mode :( Mar 22 16:08:57 Yes, it does. Mar 22 16:09:44 this what I've got, sudo upslug2 --image Unslung-6.10-beta.bin Mar 22 16:09:47 does that look good/ Mar 22 16:09:47 ? Mar 22 16:10:15 works for me Mar 22 16:10:45 * mwester is lazy, and usually just type "-i" instead of "--image"... :D Mar 22 16:11:00 lol Mar 22 16:11:13 I usually end up having to specify the network adapter AND the mac address Mar 22 16:11:22 or more usually, just for completeness ;) Mar 22 16:11:48 It's going... Mar 22 16:12:01 Should the ready light still be flashing red? Mar 22 16:12:22 Never looked, actually -- I just watch the progress bar on the upslug2 side. Mar 22 16:12:43 I've got 6 capital U's Mar 22 16:12:49 About 10 now Mar 22 16:12:54 sounds good - it will erase, write, and verify IIRC Mar 22 16:12:57 Yep, that's each flash block Mar 22 16:12:57 or at least, the first 2 Mar 22 16:13:04 Doesn't there need to be an HDD attached to do the Upslung? Mar 22 16:13:09 Not at this point. Mar 22 16:13:12 Okay Mar 22 16:13:20 Over half way now Mar 22 16:13:21 Smurf-Slayer, dont boot it with a drive attached, on the first time either Mar 22 16:13:28 Okay Mar 22 16:13:51 We want to get it working on nothing but the internal flash first. It's actually pretty surprising what you can do with 8MBytes of flash... Mar 22 16:15:13 Okay, it is done. Mar 22 16:15:37 What should the IP be? Mar 22 16:16:03 Whatever is in the flash. Mar 22 16:16:07 Got all Capital V's, and the power light is still flashing green Mar 22 16:16:15 Now it beeped, and the light is solid green Mar 22 16:16:19 Perfect. Mar 22 16:16:55 Now put a paper clip into the little "reset" hole in the back, push in the button deep down in there, and hold it for 30+ seconds. You should get at least one, and maybe two, beeps. Mar 22 16:17:08 Okay.. Mar 22 16:18:00 Got one beep Mar 22 16:19:09 What is next? Mar 22 16:19:12 After 30 seconds, release the button. Press the power button, it should beep. Mar 22 16:19:19 or blink an led, I don't remember. Mar 22 16:19:22 Yes, it did Mar 22 16:19:26 It beeped twice Mar 22 16:19:29 but within a minute or two it should power off. Mar 22 16:19:36 It did go off. Mar 22 16:19:41 Perfect. It's working. Mar 22 16:20:06 Now, without a network cable, power it up. It should beep, eventually, and the light will stop blinking. Mar 22 16:20:36 Okay, with just a power cable, I've turned it on. Mar 22 16:21:33 Tell us when it does it's final beep and the led stops blinking... Mar 22 16:21:46 Currently, there are no lights on on the display, but the power button is green. Mar 22 16:21:55 Now the ready light is flashing green Mar 22 16:22:38 It beeped and the light is solid green Mar 22 16:23:29 Ok, it's booted, and it should be at 192.168.1.77. Plug it onto the network, and then you'll have to do some configuring of something to get onto the 192.168.1.xxx subnet to ping it. Mar 22 16:24:09 Okay... Mar 22 16:24:28 What do I need to do to ping it? Mar 22 16:25:04 You need to get something on the 192.168.1.xxx subnet Mar 22 16:25:31 Should I just change the IP of my Ubuntu box? Mar 22 16:26:02 That'll do it. Mar 22 16:26:29 I can't remember where that is... Mar 22 16:27:02 Smurf-Slayer: you can also add a route Mar 22 16:27:10 How do I do that Eno? Mar 22 16:28:35 route add 192.168.1.77 eth0 Mar 22 16:29:12 similiar to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot Mar 22 16:33:23 Any luck? Mar 22 16:44:52 hi, if I did the unsling procedure, is the slug still supposed to boot and be visible on the network if I try it without the attached usb drive? Mar 22 16:45:07 Yep Mar 22 16:45:36 hey mwester :) Mar 22 16:45:45 greetings! Mar 22 16:45:49 is it "bad" or if I mounted the usb drive on the PC to copy some files over? Mar 22 16:45:55 I somehow "lost" my slug :) Mar 22 16:46:02 Oh dear Mar 22 16:46:08 the green ready thingie is constantly blinking Mar 22 16:46:18 That usually means an incomplete boot Mar 22 16:46:45 any idea why this could happen and how to work around it? Mar 22 16:46:57 Hmm, Easter in the UK, and its now snowing Mar 22 16:47:04 I thought it should at least come up without the drive, but having the drive attached or not makes no difference Mar 22 16:47:29 Many many things can go wrong. Unplug the disks, boot it up, and it should come up on the internal flash. Then you can plug in the disks, and poke about for log files, and such. Mar 22 16:47:47 Oh - it won't come up without disks? that's bad. Mar 22 16:47:52 yeah Mar 22 16:47:57 No serial console, I take it? Mar 22 16:48:01 nope Mar 22 16:48:07 Unslung 6.8? Mar 22 16:48:10 well I can ask our hw guys to add one... Mar 22 16:48:20 I think so... "latest" ? I installed about 3 weeks ago Mar 22 16:48:28 Ok, might be 6.10 then Mar 22 16:48:54 Either way, it should boot up and beep. Try unplugging from the network, powering off, and powering it back up. Mar 22 16:48:56 yeah, just checked, 6.10 Mar 22 16:48:57 Any different? Mar 22 16:49:01 6.10-beta actually Mar 22 16:49:18 you mean starting up without network connection? Mar 22 16:49:37 * Reedy_Boy doesnt get it, my mum gets a better signal when im stood in the kitchen with her :/ Mar 22 16:49:59 yep, no network cable. Mar 22 16:50:27 mwester: ok I will try that when I get home Mar 22 16:50:45 should it wait for dhcp when I plug the cable back in? Mar 22 16:51:02 No, it should time out and come up on the default address. Mar 22 16:51:13 But it should at least come up all the way. Mar 22 16:51:17 aha, ok Mar 22 16:51:22 thanks, I'll try that Mar 22 16:55:24 btw, does anyone have more info on the hardware used in the wl500g/wl700g ? Mar 22 16:55:33 it's broadcom, right? mips? Mar 22 16:56:53 http://www.freewrt.org/trac/wiki/Documentation/Hardware/AsusWL500GP Mar 22 16:56:59 System-On-Chip: Broadcom 5365 Mar 22 16:57:02 Architecture: MIPS Mar 22 16:57:05 Jin^eLD, looks to be Mar 22 16:57:40 how "mips compatible" is the broadcom stuff? Mar 22 16:57:48 i.e. is it mips32 or mips4 or what is it? Mar 22 16:58:02 I know there is like bcrm v0.6 and v0.7 and they are sort of different Mar 22 16:58:22 but I could not figure out what it really isi Mar 22 16:58:26 s/isi/is/g Mar 22 16:58:36 * Reedy_Boy only googled it ;) Mar 22 16:59:05 Reedy_Boy: well, I was more or less that far myself ;) Mar 22 16:59:15 looking for more in depth answers Mar 22 16:59:25 mainly, the wl500g firmware does not support exceptions Mar 22 16:59:33 so I want to build a static image of my package so people could use it Mar 22 16:59:43 but I have a hard time figuring out what the hell those bcrm chips are Mar 22 17:01:17 Jin^eLD, they'll presumably some tech specs somewhere for it Mar 22 17:03:02 I think I found something, seems to be a mips32 Mar 22 18:04:41 I'm back... Mar 22 18:05:02 Sorry... Can't change ETH0 and then expect this to work... I had some errands to run before noon... Mar 22 18:05:09 Are you there reedyboy? Mar 22 18:05:14 Are you there mwester? Mar 22 18:09:13 Smurf-Slayer, ya Mar 22 18:09:17 Whats up? Mar 22 18:20:09 I change ETH0 to 192.168.1.1 and that killed the IRC chat... Mar 22 18:20:30 I was able to ping it though, with the IP cahnged Mar 22 18:23:15 Yeah, you probably couldnt access your default gateway and such Mar 22 18:23:35 Smurf-Slayer, when you change the ip address, visit http://192.168.1.70 and change the NSLU2 IP address onto your subnet Mar 22 18:24:37 So with unslung, it is .1.70 and not 1.77 like with the linksys flash? Mar 22 18:24:43 sorry, .77 Mar 22 18:24:56 Mines on .70 so i forget about that ;) Mar 22 18:25:13 Do you know how to create a route? Changing the IP worked, but changing it back didn't work, and I had to reboot.... Mar 22 18:25:50 smurf-slayer on unutnu you have a interface to to that Mar 22 18:25:59 *ubuntu Mar 22 18:26:19 just add one more ip Mar 22 18:26:48 I did wonder if thre was a way like you can on windows.. Mar 22 18:27:11 Janne - You mean using ifconfig and adding it to ETH0? Mar 22 18:27:11 i think so else its sudo route add ip (I think) Mar 22 18:27:28 Yeah, eno said you can do that Mar 22 18:27:35 route add 192.168.1.77 eth0 Mar 22 18:27:38 have you a ubuntu desktop Mar 22 18:28:02 sudo route add ip eth0 Mar 22 18:28:07 Alternately, set up an alias interface, like so: Mar 22 18:28:07 ifconfig eth0:1 inet 192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 Mar 22 18:29:56 readyboy - I did that, but still can't ping it Mar 22 18:30:17 ifconfig eth0:1 inet 192.168.1.2 broadcast 192.168.1.255 netmask 255.255.255.0 Mar 22 18:30:25 yeah? Mar 22 18:31:02 I used janne thing and it worked... Mar 22 18:31:08 I can ping it now. So let me start firefox.. Mar 22 18:31:11 lol, fair enough Mar 22 18:31:22 Yeah, get it onto an IP on the range you want it to be Mar 22 18:34:38 Okay... Mar 22 18:34:57 I've changed the IP, and got on it from a windbloze box and it works! Mar 22 18:35:15 What is the next step? Mar 22 18:35:50 is it usnlung or what do you want to do? Mar 22 18:36:09 Yes, it is unslung 6.10 beta Mar 22 18:36:14 I have yet to get a drive to mount. Mar 22 18:36:41 Nothing I had would format under the linksys flash... r23v63 Mar 22 18:37:13 look if the lit is light on the slug when disk is on it Mar 22 18:38:38 There are no disks plugged in right now. Mar 22 18:38:48 They told me earlier not to plug a disk in to it the first time it came up. Mar 22 18:38:57 you can try to format the disk on win to and connect it after to your slug Mar 22 18:39:15 What is the telnet username and password? I'd like to check the CPU and see if it is a 133 or a 266 Mar 22 18:39:44 you cant telnet in with r23v63 Mar 22 18:39:57 I have unlsung 6.10 beta now.. Mar 22 18:40:05 I can telnet, I just don't know the username and pw Mar 22 18:41:20 its root and uNSLUng i think it was..look in readme if it dont works Mar 22 18:42:06 okay I'm in. Mar 22 18:42:12 What is the command to see the cpu? Mar 22 18:43:34 cat /proc/cpuinfo Mar 22 18:43:48 if i remmeber right lol Mar 22 18:44:11 poo! It's only 133! Mar 22 18:46:07 So, I take it when you "Remove" that resister you are really just breaking it off? Mar 22 18:47:04 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/OverClockTheSlug Mar 22 18:47:22 thats what I did;) Mar 22 18:47:35 You "broke" it off? Mar 22 18:47:42 Or you followed those directions? Mar 22 18:47:57 read that page and follow instructions Mar 22 18:48:24 I did, and I'm confused. Am I acutally "Removing" something as a whole, or am I just "breaking the connection? Mar 22 18:49:09 Or in this case "both"? Mar 22 18:49:19 do it well so nothing is left and dont take wrong part. read that page R83 Mar 22 18:50:03 Okay... I'm going to try it... Mar 22 18:50:10 follow Procedure #1 Mar 22 18:50:17 thats enoug info Mar 22 18:50:46 Have you made any other changes to yours? Mar 22 18:50:48 How many do you have? Mar 22 18:51:18 i got 2 but #2 was deundercloked already when it was new Mar 22 18:53:33 snipping is complete, rebooting Mar 22 18:54:00 Have you had the case off the second one? Is the resister still there or did they do it some other way? Mar 22 18:55:29 It booted back up! That's a GOOD thing! :-) Mar 22 18:56:21 WOO HOO!!!! It's overclocked!!!! Mar 22 18:56:34 =) Mar 22 18:56:47 You haven't made any other changes to yours? Mar 22 18:57:25 no the meaningful change would be adding RAM but thsts to hard for me to do=( Mar 22 18:58:14 I have a line on getting some more, possibly for free... I might try that if I get them for free. Mar 22 18:58:31 Many places lowered the prices on them last week, $27.99 BRAND new plus shipping... Mar 22 18:58:40 They were discontinued by Linksys this month. Mar 22 18:58:49 yep I know Mar 22 18:59:03 I got this one off ebay for $37 including shipping. Mar 22 18:59:11 I can get a new one for less now... Oh well... Mar 22 18:59:16 I'm glad I have it. Mar 22 18:59:28 < $30 for a new one :o - That'd be £15 if the prices went right .... but they never do Mar 22 18:59:29 Hmmpf Mar 22 18:59:45 I guess I need to get it so it boots from an hdd? Mar 22 19:00:20 smurf slayer yes or a usb stick Mar 22 19:01:00 How big does the usb stick have to be? I have a 64 and a 256M I'm willing to use. I don't want to use my 4g one though... Mar 22 19:01:14 Do you have the url handy to finish the "unslinging"? Mar 22 19:02:18 i dunno how big usb stick you need. Mar 22 19:02:27 It says 512... :-( Mar 22 19:02:56 well I say 1 gb becuse if you want do more on it later 512 is to small Mar 22 19:03:15 256 is doable, but 512 is reccommended Mar 22 19:03:15 I'm just going to use my 6gb hdd Mar 22 19:03:40 unsling to port 2 Mar 22 19:05:31 I'm on the page, but I don't see any acutal instructions... Mar 22 19:05:53 http://nslu2-linux.dyoung-mirror.net/releases/Unslung-6.10-beta-README.txt <-------- follow it. Mar 22 19:07:42 janne-5011, RTFM FTW ;D Mar 22 19:08:20 =) Mar 22 19:08:45 reedy_Boy did you send a mail to that groupowner? Mar 22 19:10:01 Okay, so i have it powered up. I'm telneted in to it, and I have connected my 6GB HDD via usb to port two. The light for disk 2 is green. But I don[' see it mounted. I used df. Mar 22 19:11:15 you must format it on the nslu2 now Mar 22 19:11:27 else it dont works Mar 22 19:11:30 I can't see it though (the disk) Mar 22 19:11:40 The disk is already ext3.. Mar 22 19:11:46 try format from webinterface Mar 22 19:12:45 if you formatted it on ununtu it will not work Mar 22 19:12:51 *ubuntu Mar 22 19:12:58 Why is that? Mar 22 19:13:14 What do I need to format it with? Mar 22 19:13:23 think its some special from linksys Mar 22 19:13:36 format it with nslu2 webinterface Mar 22 19:14:19 It's going Mar 22 19:15:15 janne-5011, oops, forgot! will do later tonight :) Mar 22 19:15:20 How will I know when it is done formatting? Mar 22 19:15:27 if it shows up from admin/advanced/disk after its ok Mar 22 19:15:32 Do you know what the biggest disk is that it can handle? Mar 22 19:15:42 it'll take 500GB + fine Mar 22 19:15:45 it tkae 5 mins or so. no big deal with a small disk Mar 22 19:16:18 So, as long as "disk 2 status" is "formatting..." it is doing it, and when it is done "Formatting..." will change to something else? Mar 22 19:16:54 webinterface refreshes and when its done you can look at at the result Mar 22 19:17:02 Oh.. Okay...

Mar 22 19:47:30 It has ben on and off, not settled, but its cold outside Mar 22 19:47:36 Supposed to snow overnight Mar 22 19:47:52 Smurf-Slayer, also, you thanking mike - he's also part of the core dev team, that brought you unslung and such :) Mar 22 19:48:18 so more than just the wiki pages ;) Mar 22 19:49:27 Oh cool! Mar 22 19:49:40 So, I at the point of relogging in after unslinging. Mar 22 19:49:53 It says to telnet in, and ping www.nslu2-linux.org. Mar 22 19:50:09 It's resolving the ip, but it's dropping all of the packets? Mar 22 19:50:25 so that means your DNS is right, but no default gateway IIRC Mar 22 19:50:32 its a test of your default gateway and DNS servers Mar 22 19:50:40 did you manually set the DNS server and default gateway? Mar 22 19:51:20 Ahh! I was looking at that has you typed. Nope, I missed filling in the gateway, but I got the DNS... Mar 22 19:51:28 That'd explain it ;) Mar 22 19:52:10 ipkg update; ipkg upgrade Mar 22 19:52:22 that'll update your package feeds and upgrade any old packages Mar 22 19:52:32 you also need to install a SSH server - ipkg install openssh Mar 22 19:52:36 i did ipkg update, then ipkg install openssh Mar 22 19:52:40 is that going to mess anything up? Mar 22 19:52:43 nah Mar 22 19:52:52
