**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Aug 18 02:59:56 2007 Aug 18 05:48:14 rwhitby: Appweb V2.2.2 is running . I want to make some more tests. I have a question about pathes . I use the same pathes like current version, but this are not optware standard pathes. All files are in /opt/var/appWeb , the appweb.conf and the serving directories too. I should be possible to change the pathes to optware standard pathes , but then people that upgrade have to change. Aug 18 05:49:34 are you saying that the current version in optware has non-standard paths? Aug 18 05:49:40 Heinz_1: ^^ Aug 18 05:49:42 yes Aug 18 05:49:53 you should discuss this with eno then. Aug 18 05:50:06 ok Aug 18 05:50:43 apache and lighttpd have the web area under /opt/share/www I think Aug 18 05:50:52 yes Aug 18 05:51:04 and conf in /etc Aug 18 05:51:57 /opt/etc/appweb if there is more than one conf file Aug 18 05:52:21 yes mime.type Aug 18 05:53:35 ok i try to change to standard pathes Aug 18 16:48:34 A bit of strangeness happend to my wrt flashed nslu2, had it just running over the last days with a gps inserted. Seems it just dispeared of the network. Aug 18 16:49:38 Ill try to get some pointers on why, but even stranger is when I power cycled it it it stopped somewhere in the boot and didnt continiue until after i pulled the gps out. Aug 18 16:54:54 Seems like I am out of luck, no strangeness in the logs. And since I got no serial console on it I am useless ;) Aug 18 16:57:05 I am able to reproduce the crashin of it thu, by inserting a certain bluetooth dongle with no bt modules installed. Aug 18 17:09:32 Im sorry Its all inconclusive. Now it even refuses to boot with both usb ports empty. Aug 18 17:09:55 I guess I should really set up a syslog to a remote syslogserver atleast. Aug 18 17:10:31 (After poking it with toothpick and upslug2 that is) Aug 18 17:21:06 Im laughing all the way, here I am trying to troubleshoot one nslu with openwrt and I decide to "apt-get upgrade" my other nslu2 with debian on it, and it just goes boom-offline. Aug 18 17:33:38 A boot did get the debian one back in fine order thu, so it was probably something in the packages that needed upgrading that made it angry. Aug 18 17:53:15 update-initramfs spews out a couple of errors and then dies I got ahold of the errors, but its debian spesific so maybe the debian arm people needs to know? Aug 18 17:53:31 Or its a local problem here, Ill investigate some more- Aug 18 18:03:41 Seems to be the "initramfs-tools (0.85h)" package doing something wierd. Aug 18 18:05:33 Ah and I even found the mail to the arm list I missed from aug 6 on the topic, silly me Aug 18 18:07:41 Not that the post is conclusive since its from a new user installing. Aug 18 18:08:00 But there is some problems in there I think, with the update that is. Aug 18 18:40:05 I got a initrd.img-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx and two more (.bak and .dpkg-bak) in /boot, guess its time to dig into the details around what this script really does. Aug 18 18:40:33 All differnt sizes too it seems, thats interesting really. Aug 18 19:46:15 03bzhou * r6690 10optware/trunk/make/libpng.mk: libpng: 1.2.18 -> 1.2.19 Aug 18 20:28:14 Hi! Is it possible that inofficial debian images won't work for 4.0r1? I loose ssh connection when filesystems are written to disk. Aug 18 20:31:09 Or is there a new (unofficial) 4.0r1 installer with Intel network driver? Aug 18 20:33:08 if u are trying write too big partition, it's normal behaviour Aug 18 20:33:48 too big? Waht is too big? - on a 2GB stick Aug 18 20:34:12 whoa;) so it isn't normal Aug 18 20:35:05 do partitioning from normal pc Aug 18 20:35:19 it could help Aug 18 20:36:22 Half a year ago it worked on the other NSLU2. But I'll try with already partitioned stick. Aug 18 20:37:09 Someone already tried a new installation after the .1 Debian release? Aug 18 20:37:21 me ;) Aug 18 20:37:36 no problems? Aug 18 20:37:48 i've noticed any Aug 18 20:38:01 haven't* Aug 18 20:38:13 ok, thanks! Aug 18 20:55:41 bluepup: When you have installed debian, want to show me the size of your /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx file? Aug 18 20:56:32 Im having a bit of a kernel problem just now and got 3 different sizes of that file in there ;) Aug 18 20:56:44 I just got kicked out of ssh again. Aug 18 20:57:02 And my apt/dpkg skills seem to be in goldfish mode today. Aug 18 20:57:51 bluepup: Hmmm, I remember that happening to me once too. But just stopped once i kept going and not letting it time out. Aug 18 20:58:09 Not really a good fix I know... Aug 18 20:58:46 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 3109778 Aug 17 15:22 initrd.img-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx Aug 18 20:59:57 from my other slug which I installed some time ago. Aug 18 21:00:45 made upgrade yesterday, as you can see. Aug 18 21:01:23 Hehe, thanks. Not that it really helped, since I got 3 other sizes. Aug 18 21:01:40 apt-get update screwed something up today Aug 18 21:02:02 and update-initramfs made some backups so I got 3 kernels Aug 18 21:02:29 2443689, 3112324 and 3112377... interesting. Aug 18 21:03:14 strange. Aug 18 21:03:49 update-initramfs -u gives me a /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx has been altered. Cannot update. Aug 18 21:03:57 I'm happy my old slug works. Now I'm sitting here trying to install the new one. What is wrong with this one? - Or is it the stick? Aug 18 21:04:31 ssh just disconnects even if you keep it going all the time and dont idle out? Aug 18 21:06:09 It's in the installer. Just after I confirm partitions etc. When it writes the ext3 filesystem. Aug 18 21:07:05 maybe the ram fills up, is this before it mounts swap? Aug 18 21:07:07 Maybe it's something with the USB stick Aug 18 21:07:30 Can you drop / swap to a console and mount the swap before it? Aug 18 21:08:12 I think yes, it just made the swap partition. Aug 18 21:09:32 I made /, swap and home. Aug 18 21:09:42 swap has 256 MB Aug 18 21:09:52 trying to make the / ext3 btw? think that uses more ram then just a ext2, then you can make the journal after and mount it ext3 ;) Aug 18 21:10:21 Not hard evidence, just a feeling from other errors I have seen ppl having. Aug 18 21:12:35 I'm giving up for today. Will map some streets for openstreetmap now to relax. Aug 18 21:13:14 MM, have fun. Remeber to try mounting the swap before making fs next time to try it out. Aug 18 21:14:43 I don't think it's the problem, but I'll try again tomorrow. n8 Aug 18 22:12:30 widrone, bluepup: debian installation questions should go to #debian-arm on irc.debian.org Aug 18 22:15:04 rwhitby: Figure, they moved over there lastyear. Thanks for reminding me. Aug 18 22:16:17 rwhitby: Any docs on the leds on wrt image btw? Aug 18 22:16:37 and yes, I think there is a problem with initramfs. and yes, sometimes you need more swap that what the automatic partitioning gives (I'm pretty sure this is in the installation faq on Martin's site) Aug 18 22:16:52 no userland leds support on wrt. Aug 18 22:17:12 waiting for someone to do that - it should just be a shell script. copying the slugos scheme would be good. Aug 18 22:18:06 rwhitby: Ah ok thanks. Just trying to figure out if one of my slugs are hw broken or if its the 7.07 image Im loading is broken. Aug 18 22:18:26 7.07 image is good. svn trunk openwrt is broken Aug 18 22:19:18 I think it starts booting and then just resets or something. But I have done some hw mod on it. Battery connector, they may have shorted something *cough* Aug 18 22:20:14 Nope md5sum is different, I screwed it up somehow. *bonk Aug 18 22:21:01 ah. I just flashed a standard new slugos 4.6 beta image onto my obeseslug (16mb flash, 256mb ram), and it worked nicely (including changing the apex startup command from userland to see 64mb ram) Aug 18 22:24:44 Is that available online yet? Aug 18 22:25:00 And that is really a FAT slug! Aug 18 22:29:09 you can build the image Aug 18 22:29:22 alpha I guess Aug 18 22:45:35 Quite strange this, even the debian installer .bin makes this slug act the same way. Guess there really is something wrong with it. Aug 18 22:46:36 power on, status goes yellow, ethernet green... then they just all start cycle blinking, then the sequence restarts. Aug 18 22:46:59 cycle blinking is apex Aug 18 22:48:59 but puttin in a new .bin with upslug should fix that too rite? Aug 18 22:49:46 not if there is something wrong in the debian repo which it downloads from Aug 18 22:50:49 but this slug act alike with a wrt and a di .bin so it could be parts of the hardware flash, Im just guessing really. Ill poke around some more. Aug 18 22:51:43 Ill try a Unslung on it aswell just to test the theory. Aug 18 23:00:29 Almost same thing except the cycle blinking with the disk 1/2. Just seems to be "loop booting" Aug 18 23:08:07 So I probably screwed up the bootloader, finaly managed to get one! ;) Aug 18 23:24:11 if the bootloader was screwed, then apex wouldn't cycle the lights on the debian install Aug 18 23:24:24 and unslung doesn't have apex, so you shouldn't expect the cycling Aug 18 23:34:38 upslug2 -i restores everything but mtdblock0 and 1, right? So my problem is in there? Or am I confused? Aug 18 23:42:40 if mtdblock0 was broken, it wouldn't boot at all. Aug 18 23:42:44 and you can reset mtdblock1 by loading the linksys stock firmware, booting, then holding in reset for 20 seconds while the slug is running - that will reset sysconf Aug 18 23:44:52 If its 1, then 7.07 did that. That was running (and crashed) before this started. Ill try that thu, thanks. Aug 18 23:45:10 Just gotta find the stock firmware from somewhere ;) Aug 18 23:45:32 openwrt doesn't touch mtdblock1 Aug 18 23:45:51 I hear linksys.com has the stock firmware ... Aug 19 00:37:01 seems that didnt work either, but I managed to get into redboot so I still have some options to troubleshoot it seems Aug 19 00:38:41 if you're in redboot, then reset sysconf manually Aug 19 00:40:26 mm, docs in the wiki also tell me I need to reload the linksys firmware. Does that aslo include using the silly windows setup program I seem to remember them supplying? Aug 19 00:44:40 you can use upslug2 to load any nslu2 firmware Aug 19 00:57:30 still the same thing, I get into redboot erase the Sysconf, get into upgrademode, flash it with some firmware and its back to loopbooting. Still letting me into redboot if i want. Aug 19 00:57:40 I must be missing something here *ponder* Aug 19 01:03:47 The area from 0x50040000 is filled with FF, so Im guessing that is really erased now atleast. Aug 19 01:39:39 Calling the nite now, but thanks for the help rwhitby. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Aug 19 02:59:57 2007
