**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 03 02:59:56 2008 Aug 03 03:05:21 mwester: heh I really screwed the pooch here... rebooted the slug and can't ssh to it. I think thats probably because i filled up the flash trying to install that package. Do I need to redboot it and reinstall openslug? Aug 03 03:06:15 Yep. Aug 03 03:06:40 Strange as it sounds, when a jffs2 filesystem hits 100% full, there's not even enough free space to delete anything. Aug 03 03:07:22 it needs at least one flash block free in order to do a delete. So your best bet is to reflash it. If you did a "turnup preserve" after you did the original "turnup init", it'll save a little trouble. Aug 03 03:07:24 boy trial by fire here... but I am learning :) Aug 03 03:07:55 :) You picked a particularly intricate project to learn with... Aug 03 03:08:20 haha yeah i'm a glutton for punishment Aug 03 03:08:54 hmm I can't remember if i did a turnup preserve... any way to determine if I did? Aug 03 03:16:30 and actually while I'm starting over, do I care about big vs. little endian? I installed BE but any reason I might want or not want LE instead? Aug 03 03:49:05 If you did a turnup preserve it will remember the network settings and root password that you assigned when you did the first turnup init, even after you reflash. Aug 03 03:49:19 And, no, endian-ness makes no difference anymore, really. Aug 03 03:50:28 can the packages run on either? or are they separate packages for each one? Aug 03 03:53:11 and should I go with LE given that I'll be using this slug in a windows ecosystem? Aug 03 03:56:06 Doesn't really make much difference. The LE optware feeds should have the same packages as the BE optware feeds. There's only a few (badly written) packages that assume LE, and its not likely that you'll need them for your app (they tend to be image or audio processing, etc). Aug 03 16:40:29 mwester: you around? I installed SlugOS/LE and got turned up to the 2gb memstick, got labels assigned to my partitions, and created the RAID array. However, how do I refer to the disk labels? I'm not seeing entries underneath /dev/ for them Aug 03 16:42:52 also ipkgfind shows an svn package but when I do an ipkg install svn it can't find the package (and ipkg list doesn't show it) Aug 03 17:46:30 luv2chill: besides slugos feed, there's also optware/slugosle feed Aug 03 17:46:42 that is managed separately by /opt/bin/ipkg Aug 03 17:47:23 see http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Slugosle Aug 03 17:48:50 also http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/MountDisksByLabel for mounting by label or UUID Aug 03 17:59:59 hi Aug 03 18:01:34 my ASUS wl700ge died and I wanted it to replace, i don't need routing anymore but look for a system where I can run unison for backup/sync. Aug 03 18:01:38 what should i get? Aug 03 18:02:05 ssh is a must, encryption of the HDD would be nice Aug 03 18:02:40 xtin: unison can only be compiled natively so far, but ocaml is in optware feeds Aug 03 18:03:06 so you want a device with native gcc Aug 03 18:04:04 a slug is a natural choice Aug 03 18:04:05 hmm Aug 03 18:04:20 slug, nature, haha Aug 03 18:04:34 does the slug thing have the ipkg system? Aug 03 18:05:16 mh i tried to get unison running on the wl700ge Aug 03 18:05:34 depends on the firmware, debian uses apt-get/dpkg Aug 03 18:05:49 that's fine too Aug 03 18:06:17 there's no unison package around for nslu? Aug 03 18:06:20 optware ipkg started as ipkg for unslung firmware Aug 03 18:06:27 ah Aug 03 18:07:15 we don't do autobuild for native packages anymore Aug 03 18:07:48 why? Aug 03 18:07:49 but as I said, gcc ipk + ocaml ipk => unison (ipk) Aug 03 18:08:17 since we converted most packages to cross compilation Aug 03 18:08:39 and we don't need to manage many native build environment Aug 03 18:08:58 just one or two powerful x86 build machine Aug 03 18:10:45 k Aug 03 18:11:46 that's more or less painless to compile? Aug 03 18:13:15 yes, pretty easy Aug 03 18:14:36 k... :) is there anything compatible with 2 internal HD slots? Aug 03 18:22:56 thanks eno... excuse my greenness on this but on the wiki page you linked it gives a "manual bootstrap" for the optware feed. Do I type those commands or paste them into a file or? Aug 03 18:38:12 luv2chill: either way is fine, since you only need to do it once Aug 03 18:49:01 thanks... typing in each line I get an error after the last command: Aug 03 18:49:02 # /opt/bin/ipkg install ... Aug 03 18:49:21 i get a "sh: Syntax error: redirection unexpected" Aug 03 18:50:12 every previous command seemed to do what it was supposed to do Aug 03 18:55:17 are placeholders Aug 03 18:55:34 heh I wondered Aug 03 18:55:39 if you want to install svn for example, use "/opt/bin/ipkg install svn" Aug 03 18:55:57 ok so I don't do that one until after I've downloaded using ipkg-opt Aug 03 18:57:10 also, the howto on mounting disks by label mentions issuing a tree /dev/disk command. My slug doesn't seem to have the tree command... do you know what package I can install to get it? I searched the pkgfind for tree and got a zillion results Aug 03 18:57:24 /opt/bin/ipkg install tree Aug 03 18:57:42 doh Aug 03 18:57:57 Nothing to be done Aug 03 18:57:57 An error ocurred, return value: 4. Aug 03 18:57:57 Collected errors: Aug 03 18:57:57 Cannot find package tree. Aug 03 18:57:57 Check the spelling or perhaps run 'ipkg update' Aug 03 18:58:05 oh wait Aug 03 18:58:08 it's optware Aug 03 18:58:11 gotcha Aug 03 18:58:56 Installing tree (1.5.1.1-1) to /opt/... Aug 03 18:58:56 Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/slugosle/cross/unstable/tree_1.5.1.1-1_arm.ipk Aug 03 18:58:56 Configuring tree Aug 03 18:58:56 Successfully terminated. Aug 03 18:58:56 root@SVNSVR:/etc$ tree /dev/disk Aug 03 18:58:56 sh: tree: not found Aug 03 19:00:06 /opt/bin not in PATH? you can use the full path of /opt/bin/tree Aug 03 19:00:45 i did add /opt/bin to PATH... are changes made to PATH immediately available or do I need to reboot/reload something? Aug 03 19:01:20 you rarely need to reboot in Unix/Linux Aug 03 19:01:37 how did you add /opt/bin to PATH? Aug 03 19:01:56 tacked on :/opt/bin to the end of the path statement (within the quotes) Aug 03 19:02:18 (in /etc/profile) Aug 03 19:03:20 also... Aug 03 19:03:21 root@SVNSVR:/etc$ /opt/bin/tree /dev/disk Aug 03 19:03:21 0 directories, 0 files Aug 03 19:03:48 oh weird it missed a line there: Aug 03 19:04:00 ah because it began with a slash... Aug 03 19:04:02 "/dev/disk [error opening dir]" Aug 03 19:04:08 /etc/profile takes effect when you login Aug 03 19:04:41 ok so that explains that... but yeah there's no /disk dir under /dev Aug 03 19:05:07 then there are supposed to be subdirs of by-uuid and by-label I think? Aug 03 19:05:24 err by-id Aug 03 19:05:53 ok in the wiki it says that those symlinks are created by udev Aug 03 19:05:57 that may have something to do with udev-rules Aug 03 19:06:36 looks like for OpenSlug I guess I'm supposed to use LABEL=root instead of /dev/disk/by-label/root Aug 03 19:08:16 if you have a 2nd partition other than root, i would try that first Aug 03 19:08:33 how about swap? Aug 03 19:08:43 add it in /etc/fstab, umount and mount Aug 03 19:08:50 you can try Aug 03 19:09:03 heh Aug 03 19:09:20 well my only other parition is the raid1 array and i didn't assign it a label (not sure how) Aug 03 19:19:49 luv2chill: I'm far from an expert, but I think that labels are a filesystem thing, not a partition thing, right? If so, you need to assemble the /dev/md device using UUIDs, and then label a filesystem created on /dev/md0a (for example), and mount by label or by device. Aug 03 19:21:04 Aug 03 19:21:46 how confident are you in that mwester? did you see this wiki article? Aug 03 19:21:47 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/MountDisksByLabel Aug 03 19:58:13 ok new issue... I tried adding a couple of users via adduser... but they aren't being created in /etc/passwd Aug 03 19:58:52 but they are being created somewhere... since if i try adduser again it says that group name is already in use Aug 03 19:59:06 which os? Aug 03 19:59:12 slugos/le Aug 03 20:00:06 (4.8 beta) Aug 03 20:01:08 does it have something to do with having my root file system on a usb stick instead of the internal flash? Aug 03 22:11:06 can someone help me, I screwed my nslu2 up again Aug 03 22:11:10 here's what I did Aug 03 22:11:59 ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 Aug 03 22:12:28 I did that command to give the slug a second IP (other is 192.168.2.100 / 255.255.255.0 / gateway 192.168.2.1) Aug 03 22:12:33 I did not touch the second one Aug 03 22:12:51 I also created a script (which I think it what screwed it up) in /etc/rc3.d/ Aug 03 22:12:54 I named it Aug 03 22:12:59 S25myscript Aug 03 22:13:05 and in it I put that same ifconfig command Aug 03 22:13:09 rebooted Aug 03 22:13:16 and now I can't get to the slug via either IP Aug 03 22:13:19 DrJ: use your serial console to fix it. Aug 03 22:13:34 * DrJ doesn't have a serial console Aug 03 22:14:02 anyways Aug 03 22:14:13 I rebooted without the hd, then got in and removed that script file I created Aug 03 22:14:16 rebooted Aug 03 22:14:19 and it still does not work Aug 03 22:15:26 * DrJ is stumped Aug 03 22:17:26 any ideas as to what is wrong mwester Aug 03 22:17:56 Nope, I don't do any systems with multiple IP addresses; I'm not sure why one would do that exactly. Aug 03 22:18:41 I wanted the slug on two different networks Aug 03 22:19:08 You can't do it with routing? Aug 03 22:19:09 so I connected the slug to a hub, and put one ethernet cable into switch a, and another from the same hub into swith b Aug 03 22:19:42 no, cause I need to reroute some http traffic from network a to the nslu2, and some from network b to the nslu2 Aug 03 22:19:47 So basically the traffic from one network is now able to flow to the other. So why do you have two IP address ranges, when you really only have one physical network? Aug 03 22:19:52 linux will not allow routing back to the same interface Aug 03 22:20:27 so, this was my work around Aug 03 22:20:30 it worked peachy fine Aug 03 22:20:44 until I made that little script to ensure the settings survived a reboot Aug 03 22:20:50 once I rebooted, neither works now Aug 03 22:21:05 That's why you need a serial console. Aug 03 22:21:19 I don't have a serial port on the thing Aug 03 22:21:28 nor the know how to make one Aug 03 22:21:44 Right, but it's hard to debug network issues when the network is your only window into the device. Aug 03 22:22:01 You'll have to work with trial and error, and add lots of log files. Aug 03 22:22:07 well, I have it up and running from the flash right now Aug 03 22:22:38 Maybe you can see how it's done on Debian systems in general; SlugOS is really no different in a lot of ways. Aug 03 22:22:53 where would error logs show up at for this most likely? Aug 03 22:23:03 /var/log/messages contains no useful info Aug 03 22:23:29 I would be surprised if a Debian system would use a startup script to do that; I suspect they would use some stuff in /etc/network in the interaces file, or such. Aug 03 22:23:44 YOu'll have to add your own logging. Where does your script file log its output to? Aug 03 22:23:51 no where Aug 03 22:23:55 I removed the script file Aug 03 22:24:40 Does it work if you do it by hand, then?\ Aug 03 22:24:49 what do you mean Aug 03 22:25:02 typing in the commands via ssh? Aug 03 22:25:10 before I screwed it up, yes Aug 03 22:25:19 but I read it wont survive a reboot on google, so I made the script Aug 03 22:26:44 a deal with Sony... http://users.pelikaista.net/~onkko/ruuvi_halvalla.jpg Aug 03 22:26:48 Ok. Did you run the script manually to see if it works? Aug 03 22:26:58 no, I didn't Aug 03 22:27:14 what I don't understand though Aug 03 22:27:26 is since the script is gone, it shouldn't be an issue anymore Aug 03 22:27:59 Unless something else got changed, of course. Aug 03 22:28:32 only things that could've got changed is stuff ifconfig messes with Aug 03 22:28:41 like /etc/network/interfaces Aug 03 22:28:43 which looks good Aug 03 22:30:03 Ok, well you'll have to get that sorted first. Aug 03 22:30:27 I guess I'm still confused about why not just add the information to the existing network config file? Aug 03 22:30:41 /etc/network/interfaces Aug 03 22:30:46 auto eth0:1 Aug 03 22:30:53 iface eth0:1 inet static Aug 03 22:30:57 address 1.2.3.4 Aug 03 22:31:00 etc. Aug 03 22:31:00 etc. Aug 03 22:31:01 ? Aug 03 22:32:02 http://pastebin.com/m1bb2a9c4 Aug 03 22:37:56 I think my slug hates me Aug 03 22:42:59 No no, it doesn't. Aug 03 22:43:21 any ideas what my problem might be Kvaks2? Aug 03 22:43:37 I haven't been paying attention. Aug 03 22:44:56 btw mwester Aug 03 22:45:13 I'm not sure of the significance of the pastebin. It's your interfaces file... Aug 03 22:45:14 this is exactly what I had in my S25myscript file (in /etc/rc3.d/): ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 Aug 03 22:45:32 I was just showing you that it is good Aug 03 22:45:52 Yeah, but that's the primary interface you changed there, isn't it? Aug 03 22:46:10 yes Aug 03 22:46:27 http://www.linuxhomenetworking.com/wiki/index.php/Quick_HOWTO_:_Ch03_:_Linux_Networking#The_.2Fetc.2Fnetwork.2Finterfaces_File Aug 03 22:47:05 Below that, it discusses "Creating Interface Aliases" Aug 03 22:47:19 and shows an example. Aug 03 22:47:56 hmm Aug 03 22:47:58 I think that you need to return your slug to a working single-IP configuration, and try that route instead. But it'll be challenging without a serial console if something doesn't work. Aug 03 22:48:11 that's the thing Aug 03 22:48:20 don't I have my slug back to a single IP? Aug 03 22:48:28 doesn Aug 03 22:48:30 eh Aug 03 22:48:39 doesn't that /etc/network/interfaces file dictate that Aug 03 22:48:55 But since you've essentially physically connected the two networks, I still don't see the reason for having two IP address ranges on it; there's really no security in doing so. You can have separate DHCP servers, and perhaps a few other things, but separation is mostly an illusion. Aug 03 22:48:59 or is my ifconfig command I did, somewhere, still overwriting it Aug 03 22:49:17 DrJ: I don't know what you have or have not done, so I don't know. Aug 03 22:49:21 Here's what I would do. Aug 03 22:49:29 turnup ram Aug 03 22:49:31 reboot Aug 03 22:49:39 mount the disk Aug 03 22:49:55 mwester, like I said ... I had to do it this way to allow me to reroute local traffic from network a and b to the nslu2 Aug 03 22:50:12 compare/copy the interfaces file in /etc (which is a copy of the one in flash) with the one on disk, and make sure they're the same. Aug 03 22:50:18 linux, or at least my router, will not permit me to reroute traffic back to the same interface Aug 03 22:50:33 reboot, it should come up on the disk, and it should be back to original single-ip configuration. Aug 03 22:50:41 k Aug 03 22:50:44 (Unless you've done something to affect the flash filesystem) Aug 03 22:50:48 I shall try Aug 03 22:51:55 Regarding the two networks, you miss my point. You no longer have two networks; you have physically wired them into one network with two IP address ranges -- I'm pointing out that there is seldom a good reason for that, and that it might be easier to simply move the two networks into a single IP address range instead. Aug 03 22:55:44 wait Aug 03 22:55:46 nvm Aug 03 22:55:51 stupid stupid stupid me Aug 03 22:56:07 man Aug 03 22:56:10 could I get any stupider Aug 03 22:57:03 Yes, you could plug 12v into the slug. Aug 03 22:57:19 I did Aug 03 22:57:24 it didn't break it Aug 03 22:57:30 honestly, I really did try that one day Aug 03 22:57:35 Cool. :) Aug 03 22:57:43 was trying to get a phone UPS working on it Aug 03 22:57:57 Heh. Um, yes, you could try loading Vista on it. :p Aug 03 22:58:04 got me there Aug 03 22:58:07 I haven't been that stupid yet Aug 03 22:59:09 mwester Aug 03 22:59:13 I did that turnup ram Aug 03 22:59:20 how do I get it back to booting from the disk now Aug 03 23:04:05 hmm, I think I got it Aug 03 23:04:08 * DrJ crosses fingers Aug 03 23:04:33 guys might want to turn on your bad word filters (if you have them) Aug 03 23:04:43 * DrJ is going to be pissed if this doesn't work Aug 03 23:05:28 OH PRAISE GOD Aug 03 23:05:30 I fixed it Aug 03 23:05:53 man, funny thing is Aug 03 23:05:59 and which is why it makes me so stupid Aug 03 23:06:06 it was the same problem I had the other day Aug 03 23:06:26 * DrJ tried fixing it in windows again Aug 03 23:06:37 and windows adds that stupid ^M character Aug 03 23:10:05 I guess I have learned a very good lesson the past couple of days Aug 03 23:10:18 never, ever, EVER, use windows to debug a linux issue Aug 03 23:10:43 unless its via shell ;) Aug 03 23:11:11 yea, well ... I mean like physically connecting the hd to the windows box and screwing around with it that way Aug 03 23:11:40 I believe m$ has code written into their OS that sees and catches that when you try to and purposely attempts to screw you over Aug 03 23:11:44 lol Aug 03 23:12:02 i plugged my debian drive into a an unslung nslu2 last time i had problems Aug 03 23:15:16 crap Aug 03 23:15:23 now nano is screwing me over Aug 03 23:15:45 m$ turned my /etc/network/interfaces file into DOS format Aug 03 23:16:04 and for some reason nano persists on keeping it that way and wrote that stupid ^M character right back in it Aug 03 23:26:32 mwester Aug 03 23:26:38 I got my slug back up and working Aug 03 23:26:47 and I am trying to do what that webpage you gave me said Aug 03 23:26:51 but it doesn't seem to be working Aug 04 00:26:15 DrJ: on windows, get a good editor Aug 04 02:07:30 anyone around? I'm still confused about this adduser thing Aug 04 02:07:54 when i do an adduser it is not added to /etc/passwd Aug 04 02:08:10 any errors? Aug 04 02:08:15 nope Aug 04 02:09:12 you running it as privileged user? Aug 04 02:09:20 it is being created somewhere though because if i try to adduser again with the same name it says "group name already in use" Aug 04 02:09:22 running as root Aug 04 02:10:14 slugos/le 4.8 beta by the way Aug 04 02:10:22 you are just running "adduser joe" Aug 04 02:10:25 yes Aug 04 02:10:36 is that incorrect syntax?
