Jul 17 03:23:49 <chrisb> if i log into the nslu2 as root, i can execute ipkg 
Jul 17 03:24:26 <chrisb> if i log in as another user, then su - in the shell to get root, and then try to execute ipkg, i get the failure listed above.
Jul 17 03:24:33 <chrisb> is that a feature or a bug?
Jul 17 03:25:29 <mwester> Probably a bug; su is not fully supported in SlugOS IIRC due to security issues with busybox and tinylogin.
Jul 17 03:25:46 <mwester> Search the mailing list archives.
Jul 17 03:26:01 <mwester> Don't hold your breath waiting for a fix, though. :)
Jul 17 03:26:44 <chrisb> mwester: you are, as always, a font of wisdom!
Jul 17 03:27:45 <chrisb> as with most things *nix, it's good to be root
Jul 17 05:30:57 <bpun> why is this place always a graveyard? any dam live sould here for csakes!?
Jul 17 13:04:55 <Kvaks> bpun: Patience, young one.
Jul 17 13:09:26 <ln-> not surprisingly, he's not here anymore.
Jul 17 21:36:29 <janne-5011> I know this is erhm kind off  offtopic but, if i want sed to replace this with that its done with: "sed -i 's/this/that/g' " how do I if I want it to replace this and this and this with" that"  one word only?

Jul 17 22:11:01 <Reedy> i suspect it should do it

Jul 17 22:11:34 <janne-5011> ok I save it, tell me if it work I need to do that to
Jul 17 22:12:38 <Reedy> my drive seems to be making funny noises... so if it does die, i've at least something i can just stick on a new OS disk
Jul 17 22:12:49 <janne-5011> did  to much work on my setup to redo it
Jul 17 22:13:00 <janne-5011> noise is a good sign=)
Jul 17 22:13:12 <Reedy> not normal noise
Jul 17 22:13:19 <Reedy> it makes like a high pitched "beep"

Jul 17 22:15:13 <janne-5011> i did slug uptime shows up on my homepage with command uptime and one line php only. took me some time figure out
Jul 17 22:16:48 <janne-5011> Reedy check if you can boot from that disc
Jul 17 22:17:15 <Reedy> i wont be doing it for a little while
Jul 17 22:17:23 <Reedy> but as long as you get the MBR, you should be fine
Jul 17 22:20:10 <janne-5011> Reedy yep
