**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 16 23:59:56 2005 Mar 17 00:50:37 morning sunshine. Mar 17 00:50:55 g'day Mar 17 00:51:55 howdy Mar 17 00:52:19 I broke down and bougt a spca5xx webcam today Mar 17 00:52:31 so spca5xx is pushed. Mar 17 00:53:02 now I need to identify some program to grab from it. Mar 17 00:53:50 how much? Mar 17 00:54:22 * rwhitby needs to focus and get an unslung box running with all the latest neat things like gallery and nfs and so forth Mar 17 00:55:12 just about to push my fstab fixes Mar 17 00:56:49 03rwhitby 07 * r1.3084 10openembedded/packages/base-files/base-files_3.0.14.bb: Mar 17 00:56:49 Merge bk://nslu2-linux@nslu2-linux.bkbits.net/openembedded Mar 17 00:56:49 into home.(none):/home/bitbake/openembedded Mar 17 00:57:00 03rwhitby 07 * r1.3080.1.1 10openembedded/packages/base-files/ (base-files/openslug/fstab base-files_3.0.14.bb): Changed base-files/nslu2 to base-files/openslug, and fixed a couple of errors in the fstab. Mar 17 00:57:13 * perlguru byebye Mar 17 00:57:22 It was $30. Mar 17 00:59:07 Yeah, if I get back on the Unslung Bus, i might be motivated to do some heavy lifting with the module thing. Mar 17 01:04:57 yeah - it's time to do that .... Mar 17 01:07:14 Anyone know of a good reference of typical endian issues and how to repair them? Mar 17 01:15:15 http://www.netrino.com/Publications/Glossary/Endianness.html Mar 17 02:39:26 perlguru thanks! Mar 17 02:39:49 well, it might help to get some insight Mar 17 02:41:40 I understand the problem, I just don t have a understanding of how it typically manifests itself in code. I'm basically being lazy because I dont wanna think about it. ;-) Mar 17 03:03:22 did any1 try the traffic-shaping on the nslu2 as suggested in the HowTo'S? Is it working well? Mar 17 03:12:13 wipmac, very well. ;) Mar 17 03:13:15 you made it, right? on which unslung version is it based? Mar 17 03:13:44 oh, to be honest, I don't really remember. must have been some beta of 3.17 or 18 Mar 17 03:14:33 areyou running your slug with unslung or openslug? Mar 17 03:14:44 openslug Mar 17 03:15:03 working well? :) Mar 17 03:26:30 siddy: may i ask you something about traffic to/from nslu2 and the net? Mar 17 03:26:40 of course. Mar 17 03:28:47 look, i have btget (as part of libbt) running. i know i cant manage bandwidth with the "normal" unslung. so i have like 3 kb upload and 20 kb download on a normal dsl-line. but after like 24 hours or so it all gets slowed down to some bytes/sec up & download. and if i open a new ssh window and try "ipkg update" there is no reply..so something must be stalled.. what u think of this situation? Mar 17 03:30:39 oops..i confused up and download! its theother way around Mar 17 03:31:00 hm, strange. dunno, can't really explain this behaviour. Mar 17 03:31:06 20kb/s upload? Mar 17 03:31:10 after reboot things are fine again Mar 17 03:31:26 20 kb yes, they eat up my full upload bandwidth Mar 17 03:31:47 nothing else working..so you know why i wanna implement your traffic shaping concept Mar 17 03:32:12 you are on a normal 128kbit telekom-line? Mar 17 03:32:25 yep, soits like 16-20 kb Mar 17 03:33:39 yep, you have a line-limit of 16kbyte/s upload, but you send 20kbyte/s. so someone's buffers will terribly fill up (i.e. the router's buffers or even the modem's buffers) and communication will get ugly... ;) Mar 17 03:34:19 but it shouldn't stall totally imho. Mar 17 03:36:05 jetzt nur noh schaun obs als screen im hintergrund laeuft Mar 17 03:36:15 oops Mar 17 03:36:20 :) Mar 17 04:15:42 * rwhitby-away is mesmerized by an unslung ipkg install php .... Mar 17 04:18:02 php is installing 18 packages and counting. I never imagined that unslung packages would ever get this sophisticated ... Mar 17 05:37:49 * perlguru byebye Mar 17 05:39:30 * perlguru byebye Mar 17 05:45:14 uh yeah, bye Mar 17 05:47:44 * perlguru byebye Mar 17 05:52:12 * giel points and sings, "that's all you can saahaaay, that's all you can saaahaaay" Mar 17 05:58:42 * perlguru byebye Mar 17 06:17:15 * giel byebye Mar 17 07:58:00 i'd like to get usb audio working on my NSLU2, can anyone point me in the right direction? I've got unslung3.18 installed Mar 17 11:10:34 my first openslug 1.7 samba stability test.... Mar 17 11:13:19 the box crashed :( Mar 17 11:13:43 <[g2]> ~logs Mar 17 11:13:44 apt/ibot/jbot/purl all log to http://ibot.rikers.org// where channelname is html encoded ie: %23debian | lines that start with a space are not shown | some channels have stats at http://ibot.rikers.org/stats/.html.gz Mar 17 11:14:24 i cannot switch it off via the button Mar 17 11:20:16 i received a kernel panic message via the serial line, should i save it for anyone? Mar 17 11:31:50 chrta, post it on the wiki, perhaps it's the same crash I am experiencing when torrenting. Mar 17 11:37:17 on what page should i add it? Mar 17 11:40:05 dunno, create a new one. Mar 17 11:59:00 ok,how do i add a page to the wiki? Mar 17 12:00:42 hehe, just go to http://nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Openslug/YourChoice and edit the page Mar 17 12:01:08 s/Openslug/OpenSlug/ Mar 17 12:01:46 who renames the page? Mar 17 12:02:06 ? just substitute "YourChoice" with the right name. Mar 17 12:03:03 oh, good Mar 17 12:15:40 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/KernelPanic Mar 17 12:16:26 but i don't know how to remove the questionmarks from some items and how to use monospace for many lines Mar 17 12:18:35 hm... could you try to reproduce the crash with kallsyms enabled? Mar 17 12:19:12 where do i enable kallsyms? in defconfig Mar 17 12:19:17 yep Mar 17 12:21:28 kallsyms=y or m? Mar 17 12:21:38 <[g2]> chrta, I think you can look up the addresses in your map Mar 17 12:22:50 where do i find it? Mar 17 12:24:35 <[g2]> I'd guess it be System.map in the tmp/work/openslug-kernel-2.6.11.2-r2?..... Mar 17 12:25:25 or /proc/kallsym on the slug Mar 17 12:25:45 kallsyms even Mar 17 12:25:55 <[g2]> siddy-away, I think the defconfig turns that off Mar 17 12:26:28 <[g2]> I guess the names for linking may be there Mar 17 12:26:30 really? why do you turn everything off that might be useful for debuging? I thought we were in alpha-stadium... Mar 17 12:26:47 <[g2]> siddy-away, because EHCI didn't fit Mar 17 12:27:01 found it on my host Mar 17 12:29:21 which adresses should i look for in the System.map? the PC or the Backtrace adresses? Mar 17 12:30:13 PC will be a good start Mar 17 12:30:24 <[g2]> :) Mar 17 12:31:09 PC adress not found in System.map :( Mar 17 12:32:06 <[g2]> lr : [] Mar 17 12:32:17 <[g2]> I'd guess that's the link register or return address Mar 17 12:32:18 fond it, it's between 2 functions Mar 17 12:32:32 chrta, you have to search for the maximum lower bound of PC Mar 17 12:32:56 <[g2]> chrta, what are the functions ? Mar 17 12:33:03 yes, it's c0134ab8 t qh_completions Mar 17 12:33:20 the nex would be c0134ee0 t end_unlink_async Mar 17 12:33:27 ..next.. Mar 17 12:33:57 should i add my System.map to the wiki page? Mar 17 12:34:08 <[g2]> where's the return address pointing Mar 17 12:34:27 this is lr? Mar 17 12:34:54 <[g2]> The System.map would be helpful, I don't think there's a whole bunch of secret stuff in there other than your host and maybe user names and stuff like that Mar 17 12:34:58 oh, qh_completions is in ehci... Mar 17 12:35:19 c013541c t ehci_work Mar 17 12:35:19 c0135b44 t ehci_hub_suspend Mar 17 12:35:26 between this to functions Mar 17 12:35:33 i add it Mar 17 12:36:23 <[g2]> chrta you don't by chance have a usb2.0-to-ethernet adapter do you ? Mar 17 12:36:33 <[g2]> and one of your usb ports open Mar 17 12:37:19 no usb ethernet adapter around.. Mar 17 12:38:02 System.map file are about 14000 lines... Mar 17 12:38:11 i think i don't add it Mar 17 12:40:10 chrta, could you run ksymoops on the oops and the System.map? It would give us all the symbols in the stackdump. Mar 17 12:40:15 <[g2]> well I don't know, but I doubt that since the kernel it "Tainted" with the Intel drivers that ppl on the arm linux ml will even look at the problem Mar 17 12:41:13 <[g2]> I'd think you can run the samba sever with a usb2.0 usbnet adapter and produce the same problem Mar 17 12:41:28 <[g2]> however the kernel would not be "Tainted" Mar 17 12:42:03 <[g2]> and then the kernel hacker wouldn't have an excuse for not looking at it, except that it's could be a samba bug Mar 17 12:42:16 tainted means a non gpl module is loaded? Mar 17 12:42:30 <[g2]> proprietary Mar 17 12:43:00 btw what mean lr? l? register Mar 17 12:43:12 <[g2]> usually link register Mar 17 12:43:46 ah, that's new to me Mar 17 12:44:11 should i include some backtrace adresses, too? Mar 17 12:44:26 in the wiki System.map part? Mar 17 12:55:57 siddy-away: sorry, missed your msg. Mar 17 13:01:32 When I use slugimage on the openslug image, should ramdisk.gz be only 208Kb? Mar 17 13:10:49 <[g2]> j0n, i'm pretty sure the ramdisk.gz is switchbox Mar 17 13:11:21 <[g2]> j0n, What are you trying to do with OpenSlug Mar 17 13:16:13 i added the output of ksymoops to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/KernelPanic Mar 17 13:21:10 <[g2]> thx Mar 17 13:26:18 fi-na-ly i've got my registration certificate Mar 17 13:26:20 for catr Mar 17 13:26:21 car* Mar 17 13:29:10 giel, congrats!! Mar 17 13:29:45 so, now you can import it? Mar 17 13:29:50 it's already imported Mar 17 13:29:53 this was the last step Mar 17 13:30:04 first thing tomorrow i can get my license plates Mar 17 13:30:18 ah, cool. Mar 17 13:30:44 i feel like a kid the night before its birthday Mar 17 13:30:58 only, the present is somewhat more expensive, and i have to pay for it myself Mar 17 13:31:01 :) Mar 17 13:31:11 lol Mar 17 13:31:58 heh, we dutchies sure showed that shaktar guys, ey :) Mar 17 13:32:04 quarter finals, here we come Mar 17 13:32:05 :P Mar 17 13:33:35 ? alkmaar won again? Mar 17 13:34:03 uhu Mar 17 13:34:11 3-1, and 2-1 in the return Mar 17 13:34:22 1-3 and 2-1, that is Mar 17 13:34:37 cool, I hope they'll win the cup, so we can say "we shot a goal againt the cup-winner!" ;) Mar 17 13:34:39 i can't believe it Mar 17 13:34:45 After some poking around, this article seems pretty good. Mar 17 13:34:47 http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/5783 Mar 17 13:34:58 regarding endian stuff. Mar 17 13:35:10 I still dont know what the story is with this spca driver though. Mar 17 13:36:07 bah, endian-ness is teh suck Mar 17 13:37:53 Yes, it is. Mar 17 13:38:45 The gist of it is /proc/bus/usb/devices tells me the camera is identifying the way its supposed to, but the camera driver says it aint. so theres some mistmatch someplace. Giving me a headache. Mar 17 13:39:32 sorry, i would have helped you thinking about it, but my thinking-credits are all gone for today Mar 17 13:39:39 had sucky problems at work Mar 17 13:40:15 gave me a headache already Mar 17 13:40:42 Bummers. Mar 17 13:40:56 * dyoung hands giel some Beer Therapy Mar 17 13:43:44 thanx Mar 17 13:43:55 was already trying that :) Mar 17 13:45:13 hey, the CELF is organising a meeting the day before OLS Mar 17 13:45:15 in ottawa Mar 17 13:52:07 Are you involved with a CELF member? Mar 17 13:52:31 hmm, too bad i quit TI, so by OLS i'll not be a member of CELF anymore :) Mar 17 13:53:07 I tried begging some contacts about becoming a CELF Member affiliate, but so far no luck. ;-) Mar 17 13:54:11 well, i work for a CELF member Mar 17 13:54:13 hehe Mar 17 13:54:16 i'm not actively involved myself Mar 17 13:54:27 but as i'm going to OLS, they asked me if i could go to that meeting too Mar 17 13:54:43 i am doing research for CE-ish stuff Mar 17 13:55:23 and, oh yeah, i'm a speaker at OLS :) Mar 17 13:57:40 i should really submit an abstract to present about OE next year Mar 17 13:58:12 yeah, too bad we thought too late of a BoF Mar 17 13:58:23 an OE BoF would really have been nice Mar 17 13:58:56 well, next year Mar 17 13:59:01 should do an informal oe gettogether at the very least. beer is our friend Mar 17 13:59:05 * kergoth grins Mar 17 14:00:21 well, i'm in favour Mar 17 14:00:43 Beer is Good. Mar 17 14:01:07 i take it you're coming to OLS as well kergoth? Mar 17 14:01:30 most likely.. just quit my job though, so finances are a bit up in the air. need to decide soon and get registered Mar 17 14:01:48 reminds me to poke ppl to get me a flight and hotel reservation Mar 17 14:01:54 better early than too late Mar 17 14:01:58 indeed Mar 17 14:02:01 and a rental car Mar 17 14:02:03 staying at les suites?

Mar 17 14:04:13 or is it something you rather not talk about? Mar 17 14:04:28 bored out of my fucking mind Mar 17 14:04:35 churning out drivers day after day isnt my cup of tea Mar 17 14:04:46 hm yeah Mar 17 14:04:47 despite the cool hardware, one framebuffer driver is much like another Mar 17 14:04:50 heh Mar 17 14:05:00 you were just a software engineer> Mar 17 14:05:02 >=? Mar 17 14:05:15 yeah. 2.6 kernel dev for ti's OMAP platforms Mar 17 14:05:20 mostly drivers Mar 17 14:05:22 ic Mar 17 14:05:39 couldve done board bringup, but i usually dont work _that_ close to the hardware Mar 17 14:05:40 try to find some nice R&D job, with the emphasis on R Mar 17 14:05:46 yeah, tahts what i'm leaning towards Mar 17 14:06:02 for now i'm going back to MN, where i own a townhouse. crash there with my dad for a few months while i try to figure out what i want to do Mar 17 14:06:12 if you consider moving to the netherlands, we've got some job openings :) Mar 17 14:06:19 hehe Mar 17 14:06:32 erik andersen recommended i talk to nokia over in finland, their r&d folks Mar 17 14:06:33 like, at least 20 as far as i can see Mar 17 14:06:51 nokia r&d rocks, from what i've heard Mar 17 14:07:06 they're the guys behind scratchbox Mar 17 14:07:10 i've talked to their manager about oe some in the past Mar 17 14:08:10 too bad we're in this smallish town eindhoven and not in amsterdam Mar 17 14:08:31 well, i've lived in amsterdam for 6 or 7 years, and something a little smaller is nice too Mar 17 14:10:35 i'd consider moving out of the country. i've never done much traveling, and i'd rather _live_ someplace than travel as a tourist Mar 17 14:10:44 from MN, so cold doesnt really bother me Mar 17 14:10:50 well, seriously, if you consider the netherlands let me know Mar 17 14:10:55 k Mar 17 14:11:00 we're seriously looking for good research ppl Mar 17 14:11:15 will see in a month or so, going to take a break before I really pursue positions avidly Mar 17 14:11:23 wise decision Mar 17 14:11:31 anyway, you can let me know at OLS :) Mar 17 14:11:42 :) Mar 17 14:15:51 hey, i forgot, were you the one with a crossfire?

Mar 17 20:59:42 hehe, released under the "NWL" No Whining License. Mar 17 20:59:48 :) Mar 17 21:00:05 21:51 < gb2> * - not whine about it; Mar 17 21:00:05 21:51 < gb2> damn! Mar 17 21:00:05 21:51 < gb2> we can't distribute it! Mar 17 21:00:51 that just cracks me up. NWL. hehe Mar 17 21:01:44 * kergoth may have to adopt that :D Mar 17 21:01:46 I'm not sure I can use something with a license that restrictive. Mar 17 21:01:50 hehe Mar 17 21:03:29 Wow, rpedde is here! Mar 17 21:03:35 :) Mar 17 21:03:44 ~emulate brian Mar 17 21:03:45 Hey, Peter, it's seven o'clock and you've still got your pants on. What's the occassion? Mar 17 21:04:06 rpedde, I added mt-daapd as a OE package some weeks ago, it works with openslug just fine. Mar 17 21:04:19 Ah, cool... Mar 17 21:04:37 I was thinking about getting another slug and playing with openslug Mar 17 21:05:06 Openslug still has a couple of issues; but it more or less works. Mar 17 21:05:06 http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/project-raif.html <-looks cool. based on unionfs Mar 17 21:05:20 I've been working on on-the-fly transcoding, so I've got about a jillion packages to check in. Mar 17 21:05:57 I was having some problems with getting sqlite to cross-compile, so I was going to ask for help, but I think I've got it taken care of. Mar 17 21:06:17 Ah cool! Mar 17 21:06:20 i dont recall sqlite being all that troublesome Mar 17 21:06:26 (not compared to many, anyway) Mar 17 21:06:52 brb food. Mar 17 21:07:26 Yeah... the only thing was that it uses the host compiler to build some build tools, and it kept trying to use the cross-cc rather than the host-cc. Mar 17 21:08:04 That, and the configure script just refused to even try and cross-compile, so I took out those checks, and it cross-compiles fine. Mar 17 21:09:56 ah thats right Mar 17 21:10:03 our cross patch for that is pretty ugly Mar 17 21:10:06 blech Mar 17 21:10:42 is it already in unslung packages? Mar 17 21:11:37 nah, i'm an oe/openslug guy Mar 17 21:11:42 so was referring to those patches Mar 17 21:11:45 gotcha **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Mar 17 23:59:57 2005
