**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 03 02:59:59 2006 Jan 03 04:21:45 hey Jan 03 04:21:46 can anyone help me to partition and format a harddrive for debian? Jan 03 04:21:49 with openslug... Jan 03 04:24:36 neotheone: did you see my reply earlier? Jan 03 04:32:58 rwhitby: yep, did you see mine earlier :) Jan 03 04:33:09 how many primary Jan 03 04:33:13 how many extended partitions Jan 03 04:38:21 ? Jan 03 04:41:36 all primary Jan 03 04:42:43 If you wish to have more than just / and /home in Debian (i.e. if you want a separate /var partition or something), then you will need to make the fourth partition an extended partition and add them in there. Jan 03 05:22:19 rwhitby, still alive? Jan 03 05:22:37 yes Jan 03 05:22:49 how do i format with fdisk? Jan 03 05:23:01 partitions i created are not empty(???) Jan 03 05:24:07 neotheone: please consult a linux book - fdisk on the slug is not specific to the slug - it is just normal linux fdisk Jan 03 05:25:06 neotheone, agree with rwhitby, also what PC people call formatting is called mkfs under linux; man fdisk and man mkfs might also help Jan 03 05:25:14 well,i cant find anything about formatting on the man for fdisk? Jan 03 05:25:22 mkfs Jan 03 05:25:37 neotheone: have you read the debian installation manual ? Jan 03 05:26:13 normal debian you mean Jan 03 05:26:14 or slug? Jan 03 05:26:33 normal debian Jan 03 05:26:41 no Jan 03 05:27:33 one of the conditions for using openslug (as stated in the README) is that you must have administered a desktop linux system before. Jan 03 05:27:50 openslug is not the right system for you to learn linux on Jan 03 05:28:46 whilst you are welcome to do so, you should consult normal desktop linux help first, before asking the nslu2-linux community to help. Jan 03 05:30:34 to add to this if I may: this channel is for developer discussion, nslu specific end user issues are in #nslu2-general Jan 03 05:31:10 rwhitby: my homeserver is runnin freebsd 5.2.1 Jan 03 05:31:17 i think i should be ready for openslug... Jan 03 05:31:48 neotheone: ok, but please don't use the developer irc channel for asking base-level linux questions Jan 03 05:32:57 sorry Jan 03 05:33:05 and please don't take these responses the wrong way - it's nothing about you personally, but if every person using openslug or unslung (all 15000 of them) were to ask these types of questions here, then we would have no time left to actually develop the firmware Jan 03 05:33:25 oh well Jan 03 05:33:27 too late, he's gone Jan 03 05:34:23 sometimes (just sometimes) I think we should not have a binary, that would put a somewhat higher barrier .... Jan 03 05:34:57 ah, he's in nslu2-general now ... Jan 03 06:07:52 the autobuild update clog has been unblocked Jan 03 06:16:23 rwhitby, can i ask you one more thing real quick :)? Jan 03 06:17:09 yep Jan 03 06:17:46 <[g2]> ~nslu2_rules Jan 03 06:18:02 can you paste your fstab real quick? you said you created a 500MB partition for openslug Jan 03 06:18:02 <[g2]> ~nslu2-rules Jan 03 06:18:04 it has been said that nslu2-rules is 1) You must search the wiki before asking questions on IRC or mailing list. 2) You must follow the README steps precisely when flashing firmware. 3) Those who ask the questions, update the wiki with the answers. 4) Those who complain about doco, update the wiki to improve it. 5) Friends don't let friends flash custom firmware ... Jan 03 06:18:39 I did 800MB for openslug /, 1.6GB for debian /, 1Gb for swap, rest for /home Jan 03 06:18:47 yep Jan 03 06:18:52 almost did the same here, Jan 03 06:19:06 but where do the 800mb for openslug need to be mounted in fstab? Jan 03 06:19:10 do they need to be mounted at all? Jan 03 06:19:17 not in debian, no Jan 03 06:19:31 hi [g2]; isn't it awfully early for you? Jan 03 06:19:35 ahh ok Jan 03 06:19:37 thanks Jan 03 06:19:53 <[g2]> eFfeM not really it's 8:20 AM here Jan 03 06:20:55 neotheone: the openslug partition is not strictly necessary, unless you want an easy way to upgrade openslug and the kernel modules. Jan 03 06:20:57 ah, ok; most of the east coast people I deal with start pretty late Jan 03 06:21:15 CET=14:21 Jan 03 06:21:33 <[g2]> year 1/4 Globe apart :) Jan 03 06:21:42 <[g2]> s/year/we're/ Jan 03 06:21:53 <[g2]> maybe it is early :) Jan 03 06:22:03 yup, and rod will add another 1/3'rd or so Jan 03 06:22:25 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/developers.php Jan 03 06:23:47 ah, never saw that one, nice map. rwhitby is your dot in melbourne ? Jan 03 06:24:05 adelaide Jan 03 06:24:37 if your dot in france ? ;-) Jan 03 06:24:42 s/if/is/ Jan 03 06:24:49 nope, I'm in nl Jan 03 06:25:07 yep, same distance error :-) Jan 03 06:25:46 two capital cities in Australia become two different countries in Europe. Jan 03 06:26:00 but it looks from the map that tiersten is in the UK, I guessed from his name that he would be in germany (or perhaps austria or switserland) Jan 03 06:26:29 i think I'm closer to france than you are to melbourne, the border is only 150 or maybe 200 km Jan 03 06:26:57 and I recall I didn't make it to adelaide from melbourne (saw the 12 apostles though) Jan 03 06:27:10 that was already a day trip from mel Jan 03 07:38:54 hmm Jan 03 07:39:11 openslug debian does not include a webinterface like unslung does? Jan 03 07:39:57 nope, neither does any other nslu linux variant apart from unslung. if you want a web i/f stick with unslung Jan 03 07:40:10 (or craft your own and share it) Jan 03 07:42:26 ok... Jan 03 07:42:53 where can i get a list of available packages for openslug debian? Jan 03 07:45:54 anyone got phpsysinfo running? Jan 03 07:46:04 ps Morning Jan 03 07:53:13 Does anyone know what this means: include_path "." (in php.ini) Jan 03 07:54:49 Boomcar: you'll find the answer on php.net Jan 03 07:54:58 thnx Jan 03 08:29:52 boomcar: got apache & php working? Jan 03 08:30:19 yeah :o) Jan 03 08:30:33 I removed all and installed php-apache Jan 03 08:30:49 this did the job....it installed php and apache Jan 03 08:30:54 ok Jan 03 08:31:09 <[g2]> drif on unslung ?

Jan 03 08:39:25 <[g2]> well the generic units have 64MB, I've got a couple 256MB units and a 128MB Jan 03 08:39:41 <[g2]> they are running 533 Mhz IXP425 too Jan 03 08:40:23 g2: which unit you are refering to? Jan 03 08:40:58 <[g2]> the units I'm selling Jan 03 08:40:59 when generic have 64MB Jan 03 08:41:18 <[g2]> http://www.giantshoulderinc.com/hw-4533 Jan 03 08:41:32 <[g2]> http://www.giantshoulderinc.com/ab3/case.jpg Jan 03 08:42:35 * [g2] watches light's on the slug web server blink Jan 03 08:43:39 g2: and the prices are?

Jan 03 08:45:12 <[g2]> thx Jan 03 08:45:36 <[g2]> actually, there's another board which will be a mid range that has IDE and LCD/VGA Jan 03 08:46:25 <[g2]> however, depending on needs, mini-itx or the Loft with either a miniPCI vga card or USB 2.0 -> VGA would be nice Jan 03 08:46:34 <[g2]> it's mostly power/cost/sw issues Jan 03 08:46:43 <[g2]> s/issues/tradeoffs Jan 03 08:47:08 how much memory on those at $349? Jan 03 08:47:25 <[g2]> those are the 64MB units Jan 03 08:48:56 if you want you can send me further info to freakish@friikki.net Jan 03 08:52:00 i recently noticed about the existence of IXP460/465 - quite a nice little update Jan 03 08:58:17 <[g2]> bullet I'll be looking in to building those too Jan 03 08:58:25 nice Jan 03 08:58:33 <[g2]> the 465 has a DDR controller and up to 1G of memory Jan 03 08:58:54 i know. and builtin i2c, afaik Jan 03 08:59:09 <[g2]> Right now I think these make a lot of sense Jan 03 08:59:17 yeah Jan 03 08:59:26 <[g2]> I've got I2C coming out on a header Jan 03 08:59:54 but through gpios, right? Jan 03 09:02:00 <[g2]> yeah Jan 03 09:02:11 <[g2]> SDA and SCL are bit banged Jan 03 09:04:13 how did you implement the compactflash interface? using the expansion bus? Jan 03 09:04:24 <[g2]> yeah Jan 03 09:04:48 <[g2]> actually there's an OEM that builds the boards Jan 03 09:05:02 <[g2]> I've contracted with them and they done many IXP designs Jan 03 09:05:08 ah Jan 03 09:05:45 <[g2]> it's sweet cause I can Redboot>load ..... -m disk hda1:/boot/zImage Jan 03 09:05:59 <[g2]> where hda1 is the CF/Microdirive Jan 03 09:06:06 did you have to write a driver for that? or does one exist already? Jan 03 09:06:36 <[g2]> it's a tweak from the 2.4 driver they had Jan 03 09:06:59 <[g2]> the i2c is working with 2.6 well Jan 03 09:07:10 <[g2]> there are 3 devices on the i2c bus Jan 03 09:07:21 <[g2]> EEPROM, temp/voltage sensor, RTC Jan 03 09:07:41 what's the eeprom for? Jan 03 09:07:51 <[g2]> it holds the MACs now Jan 03 09:08:10 <[g2]> oh and 16MB flash Jan 03 09:08:20 uh, that's nice Jan 03 09:08:38 <[g2]> dual ethers, POE, 3 MiniPCIs lots of stuff Jan 03 09:09:06 really nice Jan 03 09:10:58 <[g2]> JTAG and external serial Jan 03 09:11:15 <[g2]> I really haven't touched my slugs in months :) Jan 03 09:11:31 hehe. i can understand that :) Jan 03 09:12:10 <[g2]> it's fully Linksys legacy free Jan 03 09:12:13 <[g2]> :) Jan 03 12:16:19 ~weather klft Jan 03 12:16:23 Lafayette, Lafayette Regional Airport, LA, United States; (KLFT) 30-12-08N 091-59-35W 11M; last updated: 2006.01.03 1853 UTC; Dew Point: 41.0 F (5.0 C); Pressure (altimeter): 30.07 in.

Jan 04 01:13:33 oleo: we don't control the toolchain Jan 04 01:17:15 rwhitby: We need a major upgrade (toolchain, uClibC at least) to Oleg FW. But don Oleg is idling. Jan 04 01:18:05 c'est le vie Jan 04 01:18:20 unless you want to take on his job :-) Jan 04 01:20:18 I have a rope on may neck too. And no spare wl500g to play with. Jan 04 01:21:42 so no wchar support soon then ... Jan 04 01:27:29 Will send a "SOS" email to Oleg for at least uClibc-0.9.28 upgrade from 0.9.19 which is a minor fix. If builds OK.
