Apr 01 14:36:58 <bill> i have a small question
Apr 01 14:38:37 <Reedy> ask away
Apr 01 14:56:10 <bill> well i slugged my nslu a few months ago and dont remember what I put on it
Apr 01 14:56:22 <bill> i think ut was slugOs?
Apr 01 14:56:31 <bill> is there a way I cal find out?
Apr 01 14:59:04 <Reedy> ssh to it?
Apr 01 14:59:20 <bill> it works I can get in ok
Apr 01 14:59:42 <bill> I fired it up the ptehr day and wanted to run apt which didnt work....
Apr 01 15:00:53 <mwester> cat /etc/issue
Apr 01 15:01:07 <bill> ahhh
Apr 01 15:01:14 <bill> ok ill have to try that later
Apr 01 15:01:29 <bill> I'm at work now!
Apr 01 15:02:55 <bill> is that going to assist with the apt issue?
Apr 01 15:03:40 <Reedy> if you haven't got debian on it, you're not going to have apt-get
Apr 01 15:03:55 <bill> ok
Apr 01 15:04:04 <Reedy> if its slugos, you should have ipkg (iirc)
Apr 01 15:04:17 <bill> maybe that is it then
Apr 01 15:04:37 <bill> I usually write this stuff down
Apr 01 15:04:55 <Reedy> if you do what mwester said, it should give you an indication of what os is running on it
Apr 01 15:05:06 <bill> yes I am going to try that
Apr 01 15:05:19 <bill> i gotta roll, ill be back later
Apr 01 15:05:22 <bill> thanks so much!!
Apr 01 17:10:53 <bill> now that I think about it, it might have been ipkg
Apr 01 17:31:23 <bill> is ipkg installed by default or do i have to add it?
Apr 01 17:33:41 <eno> bill: slugos4 installs ipkg by default, slugos5 replaces /usr/bin/ipkg with /usr/bin/opkg
Apr 01 17:35:13 <bill> thanks, i am still trying to figure out what i slugged with
Apr 01 17:35:34 <bill> i was instructed to run cat /etc/issue
Apr 01 17:41:45 <chrisb> is there an upgrade procedure to go from slugos4 to slugos5?
Apr 01 17:41:56 <chrisb> is slugos5 released?
Apr 01 17:42:04 <chrisb> is there even a release process?
Apr 01 17:46:53 <eno> slugos 5.3-beta release msg: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/23356
Apr 01 17:47:33 <eno> chrisb: there's ABI change, so binary is not compatible between slugos4 and slugos5
Apr 01 17:47:59 <eno> bill: if you haven't used your slug for a while, most likely it has slugos4
Apr 01 17:49:08 <bill> that is what I am guessing, i think last summer
Apr 01 17:53:31 <bill> i was getting the "ipkg command not found" error
Apr 01 17:54:10 <eno> use "cat /etc/issue" command first, to determine what firmware you have
Apr 01 18:00:26 <bill> ok
Apr 01 18:01:27 <Reedy_> Wish my 2nd nslu2 would play ball with upslug... I'd stick slugos on that :(
Apr 01 18:04:10 <bill> i'll have to get back to you on that 
Apr 01 19:43:41 <mwester> Reedy:  Fix your 2nd nslu2! :p
Apr 01 19:44:02 <Reedy> mwester, i wish i could. Its had the mailing lists stumped when i've posted about it a couple of times :(
Apr 01 19:44:23 <Reedy> (or at least, no one has come up with anything that solved it)
Apr 01 19:44:39 <mwester> So you broke it, huh?!
Apr 01 19:44:49 <Reedy> Not exactly
Apr 01 19:45:05 <Reedy> moment
Apr 01 19:46:16 <Reedy> mwester, http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/20805
Apr 01 19:46:41 <Reedy> and the original http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/message/7069
Apr 01 19:49:09 <Reedy> It is serialised (how i was able to get back using it)...
Apr 01 19:51:17 * mwester cannot follow urls from xchat, so he remains in the dark.
Apr 01 19:51:22 <Reedy> haha
Apr 01 19:52:00 <Reedy> To sum it up, when its in upgrade mode, the device isn't network accessible at all
Apr 01 19:52:32 <Reedy> Want me to post on it to semi revive it so you can see it?
Apr 01 19:54:24 <mwester> no, let's pick it up from there.  did you check your redboot network settings to see if they changed?
Apr 01 19:56:08 <Reedy> http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/message/7115 - That shows upto the ^c part, showing the ip and such
Apr 01 20:03:04 * mwester is at work, and will get to that later...
Apr 01 20:03:28 <Reedy> cool, cheers :) If you think of anything, im usually around as you know
Apr 01 20:03:53 <Reedy> i'll get the nslu2 out and the serial cable
Apr 01 20:03:54 * mwester goes back to his bench, and grabs his oar.
Apr 01 20:04:47 <bill> ok i'm back!!
Apr 01 20:05:38 <bill> It says debian GNU/Linux 4.0 \n \1
Apr 01 20:07:47 <bill> apt-get
Apr 01 20:08:29 <Reedy> should work then
Apr 01 20:09:55 <bill> yes it does
Apr 01 20:12:37 <bill> so this is openslug not slugos?
Apr 01 20:13:11 <Reedy> or presumably, debian etch... yeah
Apr 01 20:16:07 <eno> do a "uname -a"
Apr 01 20:16:15 <eno> that would show the endian as well
Apr 01 20:17:39 <eno> most likely debian 4.0 etch little endian
Apr 01 20:18:50 <bill> Linux theslug 2.6.18-6-ixp4xx #1 Tue Feb 12 00:57:53 UTC 2008 armv5tel GNU/Linux
