**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jan 31 02:59:57 2009 Jan 31 09:07:26 is there a way to re sling to come back to a default install of unslung? Jan 31 09:07:58 yea Jan 31 09:08:07 pretty much just start over at the "format" section Jan 31 09:08:54 but when i try to format the disk where i have slinged the linksys interface (disk log) says: format failed Jan 31 09:09:44 yea, that format utility has issues Jan 31 09:09:55 I'd hook it up to a real linux box and format it with that Jan 31 09:10:21 hmm but if u don't have a linux box? :-) Jan 31 09:10:24 no way ? Jan 31 09:10:27 try this: Jan 31 09:10:31 unplug the disk Jan 31 09:10:33 turn off the nslu2 Jan 31 09:10:39 turn it back on (disk unplugged) Jan 31 09:10:44 wait for it to fully boot up from flash Jan 31 09:10:56 plug the hd back in Jan 31 09:10:58 wait 2-3 minutes Jan 31 09:11:03 attempt to format again Jan 31 09:11:36 okay Jan 31 09:14:17 if that still doesn't work Jan 31 09:14:26 download a live linux distro Jan 31 09:14:29 and format it with that Jan 31 09:15:24 hmm I thin I'm gonna have a nice week-end! thx for the tips :-) Jan 31 09:15:49 well, with a live linux Jan 31 09:15:54 you just download, burn to a CD Jan 31 09:15:59 and it boots fully off the CD Jan 31 09:16:01 no installing it Jan 31 09:16:04 then you format Jan 31 09:16:16 turn off pc, take disc out, and its like you never had linux on your pc Jan 31 09:16:23 (which you techinically didn't) Jan 31 09:16:28 not an all weekend project ;) Jan 31 09:16:37 ok Jan 31 09:16:42 I'll try that Jan 31 09:17:00 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD <--a good one Jan 31 09:18:52 are you running unslung or something more ... interesting? Jan 31 09:19:13 slugos Jan 31 09:19:50 I may try that one day but I still need the web ui :-) Jan 31 09:19:56 why Jan 31 09:20:17 cause I'm still not at home with all those command line stuff Jan 31 09:20:39 you can install samba3 with swat on slugos Jan 31 09:20:53 and have a web ui that is 10000x better than the linksys one Jan 31 09:21:02 I've tried to install swat on unslung but was unable to run it Jan 31 09:21:16 did you install samba 3 first Jan 31 09:21:21 yes Jan 31 09:21:54 its a little complicated to upgrade on unslung Jan 31 09:22:00 but I may not have configured it well Jan 31 09:22:08 its really easy to get it working on slugos Jan 31 09:22:56 so one day, if you could find the time to help a poor windows user to upgrade, it will be greatly apreciated :-) Jan 31 09:23:14 those stuff are really scaring me :-) Jan 31 09:23:48 yea, come back sometime during the day Jan 31 09:23:52 its kind of late here right now Jan 31 09:23:56 I really should be in bed already Jan 31 09:23:59 4:23am Jan 31 09:24:07 lol ok Jan 31 09:24:10 I'm in france Jan 31 09:24:19 but no worries, it's not for today Jan 31 09:24:25 I'm in the US Jan 31 09:24:34 okay Jan 31 09:25:12 but when you install samba 3, does it replace the one from linkys or do i have make changes Jan 31 09:25:30 i've tried all the stuff written in the post install doc, but no way to get it work Jan 31 09:26:00 I'm taling about swat Jan 31 09:26:31 after my upgrade, Samba is still working but I don't know if it's the new one or the old one which is running Jan 31 09:51:12 razorback did you remove the old samba? Jan 31 09:53:12 janne_5011: : no I don't , I don't know ho to do this Jan 31 09:53:33 try somthiing lile smb -v or samba -v Jan 31 09:53:40 output should be version Jan 31 09:54:00 l*lile l=like Jan 31 09:54:22 yes but the samba bundled with kinksys can be removed like that? Jan 31 09:54:36 no its another command Jan 31 09:54:45 thats for versioninfoonly Jan 31 09:54:47 -v Jan 31 09:55:48 ARRRG SO COMPLCATED! :( Jan 31 09:56:20 try /opt/bin/ipkg remove samba Jan 31 09:56:20 im not sure it works Jan 31 09:57:37 no, it does'nt :( Jan 31 09:58:33 anyway lt's stay with this samba.

Jan 31 11:11:13 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Slugosbe Jan 31 11:15:44 ok, so the lines there set up an ipkg alias that searches another package list with unstable packages? Jan 31 11:40:35 sorry, for bothering u, but do you if that page really is up to date? Jan 31 21:14:37 hey guys... has anyone modded slug so it turns off at set time? Jan 31 21:21:07 you could do that with a cronjob Jan 31 21:25:34 yea...you see what i am trying to do, is have timer on plug socket that turns off the slug and the hard drive (save power wwhen im at work)....what I am thinkin is that i dont want to turn off hdd via power if there is chance that its still being written to.... so I want to turn off slug before timer kills power.... it would also work if i set slug to always power up Jan 31 21:26:04 any link to get me started? Jan 31 21:27:29 I wouldn't even really worry about it Jan 31 21:27:37 the slug and the hard drive use hardly any power Jan 31 21:29:15 really the only way to turn off the nslu2 at a scheduled time though is like with a cronjob Jan 31 21:30:31 yea prob not much power.... just dont like idea of havign it on all time... I have seen plug sockets that can be controlled via usb. migth be able to use one of them to power down printer and hard drive at same time via slug Jan 31 21:31:06 you do want to make sure the slug is off though before the hd Jan 31 21:31:08 like you said Jan 31 21:31:47 I leave my slug running 24/7 Jan 31 21:31:55 its really no different than leaving your router or modem on Jan 31 21:32:59 true. what about constant spin of hard drive Jan 31 21:33:13 well, your hard drive should spin down Jan 31 21:33:34 dont know if it does. Jan 31 21:35:41 it probably does Jan 31 21:35:49 just kind of sit it next to you sometimes and monitor it Jan 31 21:36:00 if you leave your slug alone and don't have anything goin on with it Jan 31 21:36:05 it should spin down after a few minutes Jan 31 21:36:15 you'd be able to notice Jan 31 21:36:20 it will get quieter Jan 31 21:36:39 and you wont feel it vibrating as much if you put your hand on it Jan 31 21:37:03 no dont believe it does spin down. know that a lot dont. is standard 3.4 inch in enclosure Jan 31 21:37:07 3.5 Jan 31 21:38:18 well, just set a cronjob to power off the nslu2 Jan 31 21:38:31 then set your gadget to turn off the hd like 5-10 minutes later Jan 31 21:40:27 yea thats what im looking at, and if i use a usb hub i know that automatyiclally forces bootup on power (which would be good) Jan 31 21:42:13 my nslu2 has probably only been off for like 48 hours in the past 3 years Jan 31 21:42:25 that's from power outages and the time afterwards until I turn it back on Jan 31 21:42:54 ha well im just starting to set the spin down on it (debian)...once i have got that working i will feel uch happier leaving ti on Jan 31 21:43:09 :) Jan 31 21:43:14 any idea how to write a cron job Jan 31 21:43:14 gotta remember Jan 31 21:43:19 the nslu2 is basically a server Jan 31 21:43:24 servers are meant to always be on Jan 31 21:43:29 very ture Jan 31 21:43:39 Daveyboy, google ftw Jan 31 21:43:49 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron#crontab_syntax Jan 31 21:44:01 true*.... reason i wanted to turn it off was primarily the hard drive. do NOT want to fry that thing any time soon. Jan 31 21:44:09 so say you wanted it off at 9:00 am everyday Jan 31 21:44:48 0 9 * * * shutdown Jan 31 21:45:34 can you specify weekdays and then weekends. that would be ideal Jan 31 21:45:38 yes Jan 31 21:46:07 0 9 * * mon,tue,wed,thu,fri shutdown Jan 31 21:46:08 oh this will be good. If the slug is accessed, i guess it will spinup by dcefaulkt Jan 31 21:46:21 9AM shutdown on mon thru fri Jan 31 21:46:43 could also do 1-5 I guess Jan 31 21:46:50 0 9 * * 1-5 shutdown Jan 31 21:48:32 and you aren't going to fry it by turning it off Jan 31 21:48:56 its just the apps that typically run on servers (server applications) are meant to always be running Jan 31 21:50:37 humm option 4 didnt seem to work form me...http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/SpinDownUSBHarddisks **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Feb 01 02:59:57 2009
