Aug 20 12:05:31 Where can i get help with the Samba config for the nslu2? anyone? Aug 20 15:16:37 I'm trying to install debian-4.0r0.zip to my NSLU2 but the installation dies while trying to download the kernel Aug 20 15:17:58 looking at /var/log/syslog, it has the following error: Err http://ftp.egr.msu.edu etch/main linux-image-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx 2.6.18.dfsg.1-12 404 Not Found Aug 20 15:18:27 choose different mirror ? Aug 20 15:19:01 Seems like the package was updated recently: linux-image-2.6.18-5-ixp4xx_2.6.18.dfsg.1-13_arm.deb and the installer doesn't know about it. Aug 20 15:19:12 I've tried 3 different mirrors Aug 20 15:19:52 can I tell the installer to look for the different 2.6.18-5 kernel? How does that effect the installation of the initramfs package? Aug 20 15:22:40 it could be hard Aug 20 15:23:07 not what i wanted to hear... Aug 20 15:23:41 anyone know of a mirror i can use that has the old package still available? Aug 20 15:25:20 i'm wondering why kernel package name is hardcoded in installer Aug 20 15:27:42 I don't suppose I can manually download and install the updated kernel and initramfs package? Aug 20 15:28:44 well... i think there is some tmp dir during install, maybe if u put there file with kernel image before downloading packages.... Aug 20 15:30:01 maybe installer works like gentoo emerge ;) if file exist it checks sum and if it's correct don't download file again Aug 20 15:30:54 Probably here: /target/var/cache/apt/archives Aug 20 15:31:30 hmm i've only linux-image-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx_2.6.18.dfsg.1-12_arm.deb Aug 20 15:32:32 so i can't help Aug 20 15:33:35 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-image-2.6.18-5-ixp4xx_2.6.18.dfsg.1-13etch1_arm.deb why there is etch1 ? Aug 20 15:34:26 cyboreal ;) Aug 20 15:34:28 i found it Aug 20 15:34:30 http://debian.mirror.inra.fr/debian/pool/main/l/linux-2.6/linux-headers-2.6.18-5-ixp4xx_2.6.18.dfsg.1-13_arm.deb Aug 20 15:34:44 ehh headers.. Aug 20 15:35:03 but there is kernel image also ;) Aug 20 15:35:14 maybe u can choose this mirror ? Aug 20 15:35:35 But that is still the 2.6.18-5 package Aug 20 15:35:46 That's all I can find anywhere Aug 20 15:36:22 oh.. :/ u are looking for -4 Aug 20 15:36:24 I know it's a long shot, but any chance you (or anyone else?) can put the 2.6.18-4 kernel image on the web so i can manually download/install it? Aug 20 15:36:24 sorry Aug 20 15:36:44 ask people.. maybe someone.. Aug 20 15:36:50 That's asking a lot, so no worries if you don't have time/interest :-) Aug 20 15:36:58 i have only 1-12 as i said... Aug 20 15:37:08 that's the right one Aug 20 15:37:20 1-13 is the updated kernel package (2.6.18-5) Aug 20 15:37:26 ;) Aug 20 15:37:34 wait, i'll put it on web server Aug 20 15:39:41 cyboreal http://neptune.net.pl/linux-image-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx_2.6.18.dfsg.1-12_arm.deb Aug 20 15:39:41 ;) Aug 20 15:41:51 ch4os, thanks! Downloading now... my connection is not real fast, eta ~12 min Aug 20 15:41:59 n/p ;) Aug 20 15:45:48 if u will need other files from installation, it shouldn't be a problem, i think i've them all Aug 20 15:50:59 Thanks, download just finished. now to see if this works (and find out what else is broken in this install) Aug 20 15:54:57 u should report this situation somewhere Aug 20 16:06:59 yeah, i'll do that - probably on the wiki? any devs here that can look into this? Aug 20 16:07:12 ch4os, thanks for the help... later Aug 20 16:38:07 I'm trying to post this to the Debian/NSLU2 wiki but it is not being accepted: "# The current installer for Debian/NSLU2 available via http://www.slug-firmware.net/d-dls.php (debian-4.0r0.zip) seems to be hardwired to look for kernel version 2.6.18-4, but the kernels have since been upgraded to 2.6.18-5 and the installer cannot continue, causing the installation to abort" Aug 20 16:38:42 Has anyone else had this problem? Who can I contact to get this problem resolved? Aug 20 17:12:05 cyboreal: Issues with Debian/ARM on the NSLU2 should be reported via the Debian reporting mechanisms. Aug 20 17:12:42 (Nothing will happen here, as the Debian developers don't monitor the NSLU2 channels on IRC, nor do they read the NSLU2 wiki. Aug 20 17:12:44 ) Aug 20 20:07:18 Where can i ask questions about unslung and samba? Aug 20 20:25:07 Anyone know if / how the Ethernet can be forced to 10 Mbps if the speed sense is not working? Aug 20 21:39:46 Hi Aug 20 21:40:26 My NSLU is sooooo extrem slow :( Aug 20 21:40:30 i dont know what i can do Aug 20 21:40:55 500mb need 100 minutes to transfer Aug 20 21:45:05 Is it de-underclocked? Aug 20 21:45:16 Which protocl are you using to transfer it via Aug 20 21:45:25 i its the new 266 Mhz version Aug 20 21:45:28 smb Aug 20 21:46:14 maximum is 800kb/s Aug 20 21:46:22 i think Aug 20 21:50:32 How does it compare to the figures on the Performance page on the wiki? Aug 20 21:51:25 dont understand all of your sentence... sorry Aug 20 21:53:03 mango0o: have you read the page on the nslu2-linux wiki which documents the expected performance of file transers? Aug 20 21:54:07 no Aug 20 21:54:46 im seraching it Aug 20 21:56:45 Is NFS faster than Samba for simple filesharing? Aug 20 21:57:19 I thought there was something somewhere that most were faster than samba Aug 20 21:57:24 rwhitby: can u send me the link. i cant find it Aug 20 21:57:42 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/Performance Aug 20 21:58:03 most things are faster than samba Aug 20 21:58:09 thx Aug 21 02:27:24 03bzhou * r6698 10optware/trunk/make/varnish.mk: varnish: 1.1 -> 1.1.1 Aug 21 02:38:48 03bzhou * r6699 10optware/trunk/make/adns.mk: adns: 1.3 -> 1.4 Aug 21 02:48:49 03bzhou * r6700 10optware/trunk/make/bitlbee.mk: bitlbee: 1.0.3 -> 1.0.4 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Aug 21 02:59:56 2007
