May 12 03:31:39 <cji> curious if anyone has gotten snort running on the nslu2?
May 12 07:30:34 <xkr47> morning NAiL !
May 12 08:05:14 <xkr47> is the pc speaker in the nslu2 a standard pc speaker ?
May 12 08:05:30 * xkr47 wants to try this :D  http://www.geocities.com/stssppnn/pcsp.html
May 12 08:07:36 <xkr47> seems to be available for older kernels simply by editing the download url
May 12 08:11:57 <xkr47> hey, can you replace the onboard pc speaker with one of those typically found in normal-sized PCs ?
May 12 08:13:36 * xkr47 suddenly recalls that before he could afford getting his first sound card, he had an amplifier connected to the pc speaker output and listened to 4-channel MOD files through it very nicely :D
May 12 08:13:55 <xkr47> (back then I had an 386/40 machine :)
May 12 08:15:29 <xkr47> the kind of pc speaker I was referring to when talking about replacing.. http://www.pc-extras.com/images/bsspin.gif
May 12 08:43:11 <pluesch0r> NAiL: did you already find some time to have a look at the saned package?
May 12 08:44:30 * xkr47 forgets what was the windows driver was called that does the same that sane does in linux..
May 12 08:45:21 <pluesch0r> xkr47: you mean the sane twain connector for windows?
May 12 08:47:02 <xkr47> right :)
May 12 08:47:20 <xkr47> I just remembered that both sounded similarly
May 12 08:47:47 <pluesch0r> doesn't help me, though. :)
May 12 08:47:54 <xkr47> sorry :)
May 12 08:48:19 <pluesch0r> hah
May 12 10:54:28 <xkr47> hmm, anyone know why it takes a long time when I mount a nfs drive from a remote machine on unslung ?
May 12 10:54:47 <xkr47> it takes some 6 minutes, but in the end it gets mounted
May 12 10:58:13 <xkr47> am I missing some rpc.statd or similar perhaps ?
May 12 11:05:19 <xkr47> "ipkg install portmap" did the trick
May 12 11:16:15 * xkr47 adds a wiki page to uncover this simple thing
May 12 11:27:14 <xkr47> if I want to automount some custom partitions say nfs during boot, is there some proper place to do this or do I have to add mount commands to rc.local ?
May 12 11:28:51 <rwhitby-n800> how about /etc/fstab?
May 12 11:28:57 <xkr47> it got wiped on boot
May 12 11:29:26 <xkr47> (unslung)
May 12 11:29:28 <rwhitby-n800> ah, you didn't specify which firmware
May 12 11:29:33 <xkr47> sorry :)
May 12 11:29:55 <xkr47> I'm going to try slugos for sure, but until then..
May 12 11:30:36 <rwhitby-n800> you could add a diversion script to change  /etc/fstab each boot
May 12 11:31:47 <xkr47> ok.. I'll just say in the wiki "add it to or create /unslung/rc.local"
May 12 11:33:53 <xkr47> *verifying*
May 12 11:34:58 <xkr47> success!
May 12 11:36:45 <xkr47> hmm
May 12 11:37:06 <xkr47> boot is taking long now
May 12 11:37:58 <xkr47> ah-ha, portmap didn't get started before rc.local
May 12 11:51:50 <xkr47> attempt 2: S56nfsmount 
May 12 12:00:23 <xkr47> success
May 12 12:13:02 <NAiL> pluesch0r: Having problems with my devbox, bad ram is causing the glibc build to fail
May 12 12:13:12 <xkr47> :/
May 12 12:13:21 <pluesch0r> NAiL: shoot.
May 12 12:13:24 <xkr47> NAiL, saw my cpuinfo from yesterday ?
May 12 12:13:29 <NAiL> xkr47: yup
May 12 12:13:43 <xkr47> put a photo of the pcb also
May 12 12:17:46 <pluesch0r> NAiL: can i do anything to help you?
May 12 12:18:51 <NAiL> you could try building it yourself if you have access to a linux box
May 12 12:19:14 <NAiL> if not, see if someone here has a working setup and are willing to help. 
May 12 12:19:20 <NAiL> I'll remove the bad ram later tonight
May 12 12:20:26 <NAiL> bbl
May 12 12:22:26 <pluesch0r> NAiL: okay
May 12 12:22:44 <pluesch0r> so .. anyone feeling like helping me out by building a recent saned package for openslug?
May 12 12:25:27 <pluesch0r> oh, please .. not that many at once! :)
May 12 12:27:16 <rwhitby-n800> xkr47: BTW, I'm the one doing openwrt support for the slug
May 12 12:27:47 <xkr47> okay :)
May 12 12:27:53 * rwhitby-n800 is catching up on logs from last 7 days
May 12 12:28:09 <xkr47> sorry if I made some insulting comment..
May 12 12:28:28 <pluesch0r> rwhitby-n800: can you point me to a howto concerning cross-compiling and generating ipkg packages?
May 12 12:29:00 <xkr47> seems I haven't :)
May 12 12:33:44 <rwhitby-n800> xkr47: no problem, just letting you know it's closely related
May 12 12:34:27 <xkr47> okay.. what kind of deployments do you think nslu2 + openwrt is suitable for ?
May 12 12:34:37 <rwhitby-n800> pluesch0r: MasterMakefile and openembedded doco
May 12 12:35:00 <rwhitby-n800> xkr47: nas100d for a start
May 12 12:35:18 <rwhitby-n800> and nslu2 as a ucslugc replacement
May 12 12:35:43 <rwhitby-n800> (i.e. flash only)
May 12 12:35:48 <xkr47> mm
May 12 12:36:16 <rwhitby-n800> dsmg600 too
May 12 12:37:10 <xkr47> will it be added to the nslu2-linux wiki FirmwareMatrix page ?-)
May 12 12:38:10 <rwhitby-n800> xl0: we won't be moving the mailing list any time soon - use gmane if you don't link yahoo
May 12 12:38:28 <rwhitby-n800> xkr47: when it works, yes
May 12 12:39:34 <xkr47> :)
May 12 12:40:15 * xkr47 would be interested in stats regarding memory/disk footprints of default installations of the various firmware/os combinations that exist
May 12 12:46:15 <rwhitby-n800> xkr47:  I'd be interested in you gathering those stats too ;-)
May 12 12:47:56 <xkr47> :)
May 12 12:48:23 <xkr47> can you boot all of them without an external flash drive ?
May 12 13:09:45 <rwhitby-n800> all except debian
May 12 13:09:59 <xkr47> right, it needed swap
May 12 13:10:28 <rwhitby-n800> debian installs only to disk
May 12 13:11:02 <xkr47> ok
May 12 13:11:11 <rwhitby-n800> no useable rootfs in flash (apart from the installer image)
May 12 13:12:02 <rwhitby-n800> all nslu2-linux firmware boots to flash then optionally pivots to disk
May 12 13:12:42 <xkr47> anyway, to be clear on the setup, is it so that the "firmware" is the small ~6 MB filesystem on the internal flash that depending on the firmware either contains the whole OS (openwrt), the base part of the os (unslung) or just some initial boot stuff (debian) ?
May 12 13:13:00 <rwhitby-n800> another 2 hours till my flight home :-(
May 12 13:13:23 <xkr47> and it's called firmware only because it's flashed with a special utility rather than just writing stuff to /dev/abcde
May 12 13:13:31 <xkr47> rwhitby-n800, :/
May 12 13:14:18 <rwhitby-n800> xkr47: unslung and slugos have full rootfs
May 12 13:15:19 <rwhitby-n800> it's called firmware cause it's written to flash 
May 12 13:17:28 <xkr47> yeah well.. the only additional storage I have is an usb stick which is also flash :-)
May 12 13:17:43 <xkr47> annyway
May 12 13:17:46 <xkr47> thx for the info
May 12 13:18:15 <xkr47> is it so that in unslung, I can access the full rootfs is available through /initrd ?
May 12 13:18:32 <xkr47> (after having unslunged to my external usb flash stick)
May 12 13:18:56 <xkr47> /proc/mounts says
May 12 13:18:57 <xkr47> /dev/root /initrd jffs2 rw 0 0
May 12 13:44:05 <rwhitby-n800> xkr47: yes
May 12 13:47:08 * rwhitby-n800 tests gizmo on n800
May 12 14:50:40 * xkr47 wonders why the load is 1.00
May 12 15:01:55 <rwhitby-n800> ixp ethernet driver
May 12 15:02:31 <rwhitby-n800> open source driver in slugos 4.x doesn't have that problem
May 12 15:02:43 <xkr47> :)
May 12 15:10:12 * rwhitby-n800 boards the plane home
May 12 15:16:30 <eno> osas: pong
May 12 15:17:24 <xkr47> lo.. in the middle when I was surfing the yahoo nslu2 photo gallery, yahoo started saying my browser is not accepting cookies :O
May 12 15:17:27 <xkr47> lol*
May 12 16:09:06 <xkr47> I can't see the pics anymore :(
May 12 16:14:43 <xkr47> ok got it
May 12 16:14:55 <xkr47> looks like they upgrade they cookie policy in the middle of me wathing pictures :P
May 12 16:38:35 <osas> eno: sources/postgresql/src-timezone-Makefile.patch needs a small update
May 12 16:38:42 <osas> it is missing -p '$(POSIXRULES)' from the ./zic and ./zic-cross lines
May 12 17:20:47 <eno> osas: thx, will look at it
May 12 17:34:22 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6032 10optware/trunk/ (2 files in 2 dirs): postgresql: added -p $(POSIXRULES) parameter for ./zic-cross
May 13 00:46:42 <pierrelux> www.nslu2-linux.org seems to be down
May 13 01:39:55 <jacques> indeed it does.
