May 07 18:32:07 <kowalczyk> I'm having problem installing debian on my nslu2. I have tried both upslug2 and webinterface. I install it. and its okay. but when It reboots nothing happens. I plug my harddrive to it. but the light dosen't light, and I cant ssh to it. It just a orange light:(
May 07 18:32:16 <kowalczyk> Im using the last unofficial debian
May 07 18:59:17 <HardDisk_WP> kowalczyk, use the older install
May 07 18:59:25 <HardDisk_WP> the newer one is broken for some slugs
May 07 18:59:34 <kowalczyk> ok. So i should use rc2? instead of rc3?
May 07 18:59:41 <HardDisk_WP> no
May 07 19:00:16 <kowalczyk> hmmm. then what? 
May 07 19:00:17 <HardDisk_WP> http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-click.php?p=download%2Fdebian%2Fnslu2&f=debian-4.0r3.zip&l=d-license.txt&k=83a35f6d2892328dab8620a49dd027ff
May 07 19:00:18 <HardDisk_WP> this one
May 07 19:01:09 <kowalczyk> ok...
May 07 19:01:46 <kowalczyk> I will try to do that
May 07 19:08:56 <kowalczyk> HardDisk_WP: I have uploeadet it now. and now it rebooted
May 07 19:09:02 <kowalczyk> uploadet
May 07 19:10:42 <HardDisk_WP> :)
May 07 19:10:46 <HardDisk_WP> now wait 10min and done
May 07 19:11:28 <kowalczyk> I hope so
May 07 19:11:41 <kowalczyk> it still aint active on the network. But let's just wait
May 07 19:16:09 <HardDisk_WP> have you set FULL ip settings in the linksys interface
May 07 19:16:10 <HardDisk_WP> or dhcp
May 07 19:16:26 <kowalczyk> I have set full ip settings. It shows up on the network when I use the original firmware
May 07 19:16:51 <kowalczyk> dhcp did give it a 192 ip adress. my network is 10. network. So i had to set it manually
May 07 19:19:56 <kowalczyk> but even so if I had set the network wrong. It should boot up the installer? and light green and not orange?
May 07 19:20:25 <HardDisk_WP> uh
May 07 19:20:31 <HardDisk_WP> it should boot the installer up
May 07 19:20:40 <HardDisk_WP> what about the leds? no idea how they blink
May 07 19:20:47 <kowalczyk> I will look
May 07 19:21:00 <HardDisk_WP> kowalczyk, hint: look in your dhcp server logs
May 07 19:21:22 <HardDisk_WP> maybe you need to change the IP addr/subnet mask of your PC
May 07 19:21:28 <Reedy> http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html - It doesnt actually state what the colours should be
May 07 19:21:40 <kowalczyk> the status light is orange, ethernet is green. disk 2 and 1 is nada
May 07 19:21:50 <Reedy> kowalczyk, you wont get disk lights
May 07 19:21:52 <Reedy> IIRC
May 07 19:22:07 <Reedy> you may during the install when it recognises the disk etc
May 07 19:22:16 <HardDisk_WP> what?!
May 07 19:22:18 <HardDisk_WP> orange??
May 07 19:22:29 <HardDisk_WP> kowalczyk, can you reach the NSLU via upslug2????
May 07 19:22:39 <HardDisk_WP> if yes, the install failed
May 07 19:22:47 <kowalczyk> Yes I can when it is in upgrade mode
May 07 19:22:58 <HardDisk_WP> no
May 07 19:23:01 <HardDisk_WP> can you reach it NOW
May 07 19:23:06 <Reedy> no, he means can you access via upslug2 now
May 07 19:23:09 <HardDisk_WP> while we are talking here
May 07 19:23:15 <HardDisk_WP> and the installer is supposed to install
May 07 19:23:16 <Reedy> when its supposed to be booting the os
May 07 19:23:19 <Reedy> *install
May 07 19:23:19 <kowalczyk> Ill just type upslug2 ?
May 07 19:23:32 <HardDisk_WP> uh...
May 07 19:23:35 <kowalczyk> or something else I need to type 
May 07 19:23:38 <Reedy> should tell you if any are in upgrade mode
May 07 19:24:20 <kowalczyk> no nslu2 machines found in upgrades mode
May 07 19:27:14 <HardDisk_WP> okay
May 07 19:27:21 <HardDisk_WP> then at least the installer is working
May 07 19:27:26 <HardDisk_WP> wait a lil' bit longer
May 07 19:27:30 <kowalczyk> and the light is just orange
May 07 19:27:50 <kowalczyk> Yeah I'm gonna watch lost now. So I will have to try after that
May 07 19:29:33 <HardDisk_WP> just wait
May 07 19:29:35 <HardDisk_WP> btw
May 07 19:29:41 <HardDisk_WP> where have you sticked your USB disk
May 07 19:29:45 <HardDisk_WP> or harddrive
May 07 19:29:50 <HardDisk_WP> you MUST stick it in disk1
May 07 19:35:20 <kowalczyk> I have it in disc1
May 07 19:36:09 <kowalczyk> I have followed the guide on www.nslu2-linux.org perfectly. but it still doesnt work
May 07 19:38:19 <kowalczyk> if it's not working now I will try to reflash to original firmware and then go through the network setting again
May 07 19:43:20 <Reedy> Why must you have it in disk 1? :/
May 07 19:44:45 <HardDisk_WP> Reedy, the d-i tends to be reliant on that as it seems
May 07 19:44:58 <Reedy> weird
May 07 19:45:04 <Reedy> it should just work with either
May 07 19:46:15 <HardDisk_WP> i had some issues with debian on my slug...first, the "beta" installer wouldnt work
May 07 19:46:25 <HardDisk_WP> it simply left the nslu in upgrade mode
May 07 19:46:45 <HardDisk_WP> then, the "old" d-i refused port 2
May 07 20:02:22 <awolf> O
May 07 20:06:47 <HardDisk_WP> n8
May 07 20:25:31 <kowalczyk> hmmm. the slug is still inactiv on my network
May 07 20:28:18 <awolf> I'm using unslung6.  I'm a pretty savvy unix admin in general--I need to switch to a larger drive on my slug.  If I format another drive through the linksys web interface, and copy the files from the smaller flash drive from each partition to the appropriate partition on the newer drive, will I be able to replace the older drive with the newer one?
May 07 20:28:21 <kowalczyk> I will try reflash to the original firmware and then go through the internet at least
May 07 20:29:55 <kowalczyk> or the network settings
May 07 20:33:32 <kowalczyk> oh the dns wasn't set I saw now
May 07 20:34:11 <kowalczyk> I'll try again
May 07 20:36:01 <kowalczyk> but even if I cant browse to it it says it's inactiv in my router anyway :P
May 07 20:39:27 <kowalczyk> and now it's working. suddenly:P
May 07 20:42:31 <kowalczyk> :D it's working:D
May 07 20:56:50 <awolf> Has anyone seen a wiki article or had any experience with migrating an unslung device to another hd?
May 07 20:57:19 <Reedy> im sure there is
May 07 21:01:17 <Reedy> not that i can find it
May 07 21:01:31 <kowalczyk> but I get problems with configure the logical volume manager though
May 07 21:01:35 <Reedy> unless you've got something really advanced.. you could just start afresh adn copy files
May 07 21:01:48 <Reedy> kowalczyk, did you select the necessary packages in the first step?
May 07 21:02:08 <kowalczyk> I think so... Where do i select them once again? I checked all the logical stuff I think
May 07 21:02:30 <Reedy> its on the first page
May 07 21:03:02 <kowalczyk> just have to try to get that menu once again. hmm
May 07 21:03:07 <Reedy> partman-auto, partman-ext3, usb-storage-modules-2.6.18-6-ixp4xx-di
May 07 21:03:13 <Reedy> you should be able to go back
May 07 21:03:22 <Reedy> thats decreased in number since i last did mine
May 07 21:04:01 <kowalczyk> oh. I find it
May 07 21:05:26 <kowalczyk> those modules I installed first time isnt listed there now. Didnt stand anything about logical
May 07 21:07:19 <kowalczyk> Now I have chosen all modules and it still doesnt work. then I just have to cut down on partions I guess. and only use primary
May 07 21:07:33 <kowalczyk> or just skip it:P
May 07 21:08:08 <Reedy> maybe so
May 07 21:08:10 <Reedy> or
May 07 21:08:19 <Reedy> do some now, and then do the rest post install
May 07 21:14:00 <kowalczyk> maybe. just gonna see if this does work
May 07 21:14:20 <kowalczyk> but can I for example install xchat on that and type ssh -y or -Y ip xchat ? does that work?
May 07 21:15:14 <Reedy> not sure about xchat, does it just do text mode? but you can have irssi
May 07 21:16:37 <kowalczyk> no. graphical... I dont like irssi :D I use BitchX and ircII :D
May 07 21:17:12 <Reedy> possibly with xforward/similar
May 07 21:17:19 <Reedy> but you wont get graphical on the actual NSLU2
May 07 21:17:38 <eno> another way maybe use an IRC proxy on the slug, and run xchat on your PC, just connect to the proxy
May 07 21:17:40 <kowalczyk> hmmm. Look like I lost internet in the browser and so on. I cant go on the internet and nslu2 cant download any
May 07 21:18:11 <kowalczyk> or hmm
May 07 21:29:36 <kowalczyk> now I know what was wrong. this device doesn't support LVM :D
May 07 21:29:45 <kowalczyk> so I can just have 4 primary partions
