May 30 03:01:01 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6111 10optware/trunk/ (make/kissdx.mk platforms/packages-gumstix1151.mk): kissdx: gumstix1151 need same patch as wl500g
May 30 03:16:06 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6112 10optware/trunk/ (make/strace.mk platforms/packages-gumstix1151.mk): strace: fix gumstix build in the same way as slugosbe
May 30 03:29:46 <xitrium> hey rwhitby, the kamikaze_pre1 went fine, but how can I build an image I can flash with upslug2 with it?
May 30 03:29:59 <xitrium> if I do make openwrt-image, that will try with the latest, right?
May 30 03:30:10 <rwhitby> kamikaze_pre1 should have built an image for you
May 30 03:30:22 <rwhitby> in releases/openwrt-kamikaze_pre1/bin/
May 30 03:30:28 <rwhitby> look for the 8MB .bin file
May 30 03:30:38 <xitrium> hmm
May 30 03:30:45 <rwhitby> yes, openwrt-image will build the latest
May 30 03:31:04 <rwhitby> (which is a completely different kernel version - 2.6.19 -> 2.6.21)
May 30 03:31:08 <xitrium> ooh I see
May 30 03:31:14 <xitrium> ah okay
May 30 03:31:43 <xitrium> I found it; thanks again :P
May 30 03:31:45 <rwhitby> both boot for me (I'm running latest on an IOMega NAS100d, and openwrt supports the internal IDE disk)
May 30 03:32:02 <rwhitby> (and the internal Atheros wifi card)
May 30 03:34:30 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6113 10optware/trunk/ (make/dovecot.mk platforms/packages-gumstix1151.mk): dovecot: disable-ipv6 on gumstix
May 30 03:47:09 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6114 10optware/trunk/make/p7zip.mk: p7zip: 4.45 -> 4.47
May 30 03:50:59 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6115 10optware/trunk/make/esound.mk: esound: 0.2.36 -> 0.2.38
May 30 03:57:31 <xitrium> hmm.
May 30 03:57:37 <xitrium> I flashed it; but now I can't ssh in
May 30 03:57:46 <xitrium> oh nevermind, it was just being weird
May 30 03:58:14 <xitrium> grr.. default root password :P
May 30 03:59:32 <rwhitby> what is it?
May 30 04:00:14 <xitrium> there isn't any
May 30 04:00:20 <xitrium> you have to telnet in, and use 'passwd' to change it
May 30 04:00:22 <xitrium> before you can ssh in
May 30 04:00:29 <xitrium> tricksy! :P
May 30 04:00:29 <rwhitby> ah
May 30 04:08:08 <xitrium> do you happen to know offhand if the nslu2 uses ohci or uhci, etc?
May 30 04:13:39 <xitrium> hmm.  it found my usb device, but it's not /dev/sda.. 
May 30 04:16:49 <rwhitby> xitrium: please update http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenWRT/HomePage with user tips as you go ...
May 30 04:17:20 <xitrium> okay, I'll try
May 30 04:25:41 <xitrium> there's a few :-D
May 30 04:30:32 <rwhitby> xitrium: I have a feed up, just edit /etc/ipkg.conf and then ipkg install
May 30 04:30:54 <xitrium> oh true
May 30 04:31:06 <xitrium> I guess I should change that on the wiki :-P
May 30 04:31:16 <rwhitby> done
May 30 04:31:27 <rwhitby> mount -t ext3 /dev/sdaX /mnt
May 30 04:31:33 <xitrium> thanks
May 30 04:31:39 <xitrium> except there's no /dev/sdaX
May 30 04:31:54 <rwhitby> ipkg install kmod-scsi-core
May 30 04:32:24 <rwhitby> usb-storage should have done that for you already
May 30 04:32:32 <rwhitby> (kmod-usb-storage that is)
May 30 04:32:36 <xitrium> yeah
May 30 04:32:37 <xitrium> hmm
May 30 04:32:52 <rwhitby> does lsmod should scsi_mod and sd_mod?
May 30 04:33:06 <xitrium> it didn't until just now when i insmod'd them :p
May 30 04:33:21 <rwhitby> ah, have you rebooted since installing kmod-usb-storage?
May 30 04:33:29 <rwhitby> (the autoloads only happen on boot)
May 30 04:33:37 <xitrium> hmmm not sure
May 30 04:34:19 <rwhitby> let me test on my slug, I've been doing most things on the nas100d which has different usb drivers
May 30 04:36:36 <xitrium> ah
May 30 04:36:38 <xitrium> i'm rebooting now
May 30 04:36:51 <xitrium> i uninstalled and reinstalled; i think usb-storage may have given me some kind of error before
May 30 04:37:11 <rwhitby> looks like you need to install kmod-usb2 first
May 30 04:38:05 <rwhitby> kmod-usb2, kmod-usb-storage, kmod-fs-ext3 was enough for me to mount a usb flash key
May 30 04:38:23 <xitrium> awesome
May 30 04:38:32 <xitrium> want to change the wiki for it? :P
May 30 04:38:38 <xitrium> I just got mine to work also
May 30 04:38:40 <xitrium> for a hard drive
May 30 04:38:46 <xitrium> although I have more modules installed :-P
May 30 04:38:53 <xitrium> sort of shotgun approach
May 30 04:39:38 <rwhitby> done
May 30 04:39:57 <xitrium> :D
May 30 04:40:32 <rwhitby> I've tested bluetooth usb dongles, usb webcam (gspca), and kmod-madwifi (for the nas100d)
May 30 04:41:31 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6116 10optware/trunk/platforms/packages-gumstix1151.mk: gumstix: disable buildroot uclibc-opt
May 30 04:43:23 <xitrium> awesome
May 30 04:52:34 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6117 10optware/trunk/make/esound.mk: esound: added PKG_CONFIG_PATH to configure
May 30 05:05:16 <xitrium> hm
May 30 05:05:27 <xitrium> since mtdblock5 is now /
May 30 05:05:44 <xitrium> is mtdblock6 the signature thing that i want to zero out so it will remotely enter upgrade mode? :P
May 30 05:05:47 <rwhitby> it's a jffs2 over squashfs overlay
May 30 05:06:24 <rwhitby> yes, mtdblock6 is the FIS directory with the trailer signature in it
May 30 05:07:44 <xitrium> ahh okay
May 30 05:07:46 <xitrium> thanks :D
May 30 05:08:00 <xitrium> hm, i can't write to it..
May 30 05:08:10 <xitrium> root@OpenWrt:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mtdblock6
May 30 05:08:10 <xitrium> dd: writing '/dev/mtdblock6': Operation not permitted
May 30 05:08:42 <xitrium> although i can write to mtdblock5
May 30 05:08:50 <xitrium> so if i just mess that up, it'll probably enter upgrade mode... :P
May 30 05:11:02 <rwhitby> hmm - I wonder if openwrt is explicitly making the last block read only
May 30 05:11:03 <xitrium> uh oh... apparently not, and now it's not rebooting either :-P
May 30 05:11:16 <xitrium> hmm
May 30 05:11:20 <rwhitby> um, blowing away mtdblock5 is not a good idea
May 30 05:12:16 <rwhitby> CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_READONLY=y
May 30 05:12:24 <rwhitby> yep, bootloader and fis dir are readonly
May 30 05:12:28 <xitrium> ah
May 30 05:12:48 <xitrium> Think I'll be able to salvage the slug once I get back to work sometime tomorrow? :-P
May 30 05:13:05 <rwhitby> sure - just put it in upgrade mode with the reset button
May 30 05:13:32 <rwhitby> or power cycle it and hit Ctrl-C at the redboot or apex prompts after you put a serial port on it ;-)
May 30 05:13:41 <xitrium> hehe
May 30 05:13:44 <xitrium> okay, thanks :)
May 30 05:14:20 <xitrium> My coworker wants me to have it with the most lightweight OS possible (we're doing benchmarking) and then he goes and tells me his benchmarks are written mostly in python :-P
May 30 05:14:45 <xitrium> I said it was too big to even install.. so he said he could convert them to bash scripts...
May 30 05:14:51 <xitrium> our results will be fantastic...
May 30 05:17:09 <rwhitby> what application are you using the NSLU2 for?
May 30 05:17:29 <xitrium> we're using it to model an active storage device (hard drive with processor and ram)
May 30 05:17:37 <xitrium> because it's too hard to flash hard drive firmware :-P
May 30 05:17:54 <rwhitby> Can you run the same benchmarks on OpenWRT, Unslung, SlugOS and Debian, all on the NSLU2?
May 30 05:17:57 <xitrium> we need performance results for his (he's a grad student working on his thesis) disk level malware detector
May 30 05:18:03 <xitrium> sure, i don't see why not
May 30 05:18:16 <rwhitby> I'd love to put them up on a wiki page on nslu2-linux.org
May 30 05:18:26 <xitrium> that seems like a good idea
May 30 05:18:38 <xitrium> I could do that
May 30 05:18:46 <rwhitby> I'm gonna hold you to that :-)
May 30 05:19:03 <xitrium> although it might be a while, till he gets his stuff sorted out
May 30 05:19:12 <xitrium> but yeah, it seems like a good idea
May 30 05:19:24 <xitrium> and not too hard, since i'm doing most of it anyway
May 30 05:19:56 <rwhitby> Put Debian armel in there (EABI) for good measure too.  Gentoo uses the slugos kernel, so it shouldn't be too different from SlugOS.
May 30 05:20:46 <xitrium> hmm
May 30 05:20:47 <xitrium> okay
May 30 05:21:52 <xitrium> we're using an iSCSI card to get data to and from the usb hard disk across the network.. rather than samba or anything
May 30 05:21:59 <xitrium> that's okay, right?
May 30 05:54:57 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6118 10optware/trunk/make/avahi.mk: avahi: rm .la
May 30 06:08:06 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6119 10optware/trunk/platforms/packages-gumstix1151.mk: gumstix: disable mc for the time being
May 30 06:27:32 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6120 10optware/trunk/make/ipkg-opt.mk: ipkg-opt: rename tarball to avoid conflict
May 30 10:03:33 <EmuandCo> hi
May 30 10:19:45 <rwhitby> xitrium: yep, iSCSI will be fine
May 30 12:21:28 <CIA-8> 03rwhitby * r855 10kernel/trunk/patches/2.6.21/ (38-ixp4xx-net-driver-no-phy.patch series): Added patch from OpenWRT (thanks Kaloz) for supporting switches directly connected to the NPE.
May 30 15:26:57 <xitrium> rwhitby, where did you find that config option: CONFIG_MTD_REDBOOT_PARTS_READONLY=y ?
May 30 15:27:07 <xitrium> I wanna change it so I can keep putting it into upgrade mode from home :-P
May 30 17:51:41 <Nomisdk> hi, any who can answer a question i got?
May 30 18:07:57 <mwester> ~ask
May 30 18:08:10 <jbot> Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic.  Don't ask if you can ask a question first.  Don't ask if a person is there, just ask what you intended to ask them.  Better questions more frequently yield better answers.  We are all here voluntarily or against our will.
May 30 18:09:22 <mwester> Nomisdk: go ahead and pose your question; if someone has knowlege of a solution, or an answer, perhaps they will respond.
May 30 18:48:25 <Nomisdk> i am about to use a 2.5 harddrive with a nslu2, but do it need extern power?
May 30 18:49:06 <Nomisdk> can the nslu2 deliver the power needed to keep it running?
May 30 18:49:15 <mwester> Maybe.  Depends on how much current it takes.  USB can provide 500ma, which should be enough.
May 30 18:49:38 <mwester> But some have reported problems, possibly because the drives take more current when spinning up.
May 30 18:49:47 <mwester> (all the ones I've tried have worked)
May 30 18:49:54 <Nomisdk> kk sounds great
May 31 01:24:56 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6121 10optware/trunk/make/mpd.mk: mpd: 0.12.1+svn5324 -> 0.13.0
May 31 02:57:27 <CIA-8> 03bzhou * r6122 10optware/trunk/ (make/simh.mk sources/simh/makefile.patch): simh: 37.0 -> 37.1
