Feb 08 16:14:03 03bzhou * r7726 10optware/trunk/make/erl-yaws.mk: erl-yaws: 1.74 -> 1.75 Feb 08 16:18:09 03bzhou * r7727 10optware/trunk/make/vtun.mk: vtun: 3.0.1 -> 3.0.2 Feb 08 16:21:36 03bzhou * r7728 10optware/trunk/make/py-configobj.mk: py-configobj: 4.4.0 -> 4.5.0 Feb 08 16:27:16 rwhitby: it works but my fp benchmark doesn't show any speed improvement.. Must be missing some magic somewhere... Feb 08 16:55:55 hi all Feb 08 16:56:39 can i flash my current slugos with only kernel image? Feb 08 18:15:07 03oleo * r7729 10optware/trunk/ (3 files in 2 dirs): transmission: 4900->4988 Feb 08 18:16:29 alezzandro: should but your rootfs might not like it...(modules..) Feb 08 18:25:25 VoodooZ: upslug2 tells me: file too big or too little Feb 08 18:25:26 :S Feb 08 18:26:03 i'm trying to build a new image from sources removing 2.6.21.7 and adding 2.6.24 Feb 08 18:26:18 cause i'm strange problem with reiserfs and 2.6.21.7 Feb 08 18:26:36 anyone use 2.6.21.7 and reiserfs? Feb 08 18:27:23 why not upgrade the whole iamge then? Feb 08 18:27:27 whois alezzandro. Feb 08 18:27:33 doh :-) Feb 08 18:27:39 The latest image uses 2.6.24 i think.. Feb 08 18:27:48 less headaches that way Feb 08 18:28:01 where i can find latest image? Feb 08 18:28:12 i've downloaded 4.8beta Feb 08 18:28:19 but it runs 2.6.21.7 Feb 08 18:28:27 oh.. You don't have a build setup? Feb 08 18:28:40 ehm.. no :-) Feb 08 18:28:47 i'm trying to do it right now Feb 08 18:29:30 running: make setup, it's downloading: => `monotone/nslu2-linux.mtn.gz' Feb 08 18:30:05 yep. Just make a folder and download http://ww.nslu2-linux.org/Makefile, then type make slugosbe-image and wait.. Feb 08 18:30:17 I hope you have lots of disk space and time.. Feb 08 18:30:24 yep Feb 08 18:30:35 you will need to download some intel source packages though.. Feb 08 18:30:48 hoping only that my mac doesn't give me errors.. Feb 08 18:30:51 yes yes Feb 08 18:30:54 i've donw Feb 08 18:31:16 but i don't know if i must renaming them.. Feb 08 18:31:18 :) Feb 08 18:32:22 VoodooZ: do you know if i must change names of the Intel Libraries? Feb 08 18:33:06 shouldn't no.. Feb 08 18:33:15 just put them in the downloads folder.. Feb 08 18:33:30 you could create the .md5 file but It might be optional. Feb 08 18:33:35 i must generate md5 too? Feb 08 18:33:42 not sure. I did.. Feb 08 18:33:46 ok Feb 08 18:33:51 i will do it :-) Feb 08 18:34:35 but i'm sure that my damned mac will brake all before it can chek them :-D Feb 08 18:34:50 my intel file are named: IPL_ixp400NpeLibrary-2_4.zip Feb 08 18:35:09 on a mac? can't help you there.. Feb 08 18:35:28 You might need to install some stuff like monotone and psyco. Feb 08 18:41:03 okok thanks Feb 08 19:00:15 does Little Endian / Big Endian affect performance on nslu2? im trying to decide for either angstrom BE or LE Feb 08 19:00:54 I believe BE is faster on network access as that's the natural endianess of network transactions.. Feb 08 19:01:30 I was also told that there's libusb issues under BE if that's something you use... Feb 08 19:01:31 have any stats to back this up? Feb 08 19:01:38 nope. Feb 08 19:01:43 google it.. Feb 08 19:01:50 i use USB disk, i guess that uses libusb? Feb 08 19:02:18 no, libusb is for apps to access usb devices.. Feb 08 19:02:58 for example, my robot code uses it to fetch sensors data.. so I link my code to it.. Feb 08 19:03:08 probably not an issue for most. Feb 08 19:03:41 I did find angstrom to be very barebone though.. then again, I didn't experiment much.. let us know .. Feb 08 19:04:05 barebone? it still has all ipkgs avail, doesnt it? Feb 08 19:04:15 i basically only need cryptsetup and rsync Feb 08 19:34:38 Blastur: yeah, It does. Feb 08 21:18:52 the password store in sysconf partition is safe, right? one cannot somehow dump that partition and extract the passwor Feb 08 22:07:17 anyone know what would cause my nslu2 (running SlugOS) to not come online after a reboot, when I plug in my USB HDD? If I boot it without my USB HDD, thus, only boot from USB stick, it works fine Feb 08 22:07:51 it seems to be quite responsive even with USB HDD plugged in, only that i cannot reach it via the network.. for example, i can still push the power button and it will shutdown gracefully Feb 08 22:31:38 joshin ping? Feb 08 22:31:49 Kaloz, ping? Feb 08 23:23:48 pong Feb 08 23:23:50 :) Feb 08 23:28:17 alezzandro, hello? Feb 08 23:29:20 morning Feb 08 23:29:37 hello Feb 08 23:30:12 good night, here is night :p Feb 08 23:30:17 not morning Feb 08 23:30:21 ~ugt Feb 08 23:30:22 somebody said ugt was Universal Greeting Time. Created in #mipslinux, it is a rule that states that whenever somebody enters an IRC channel it is always morning, and it is always late when the person leaves. The local time of any other people in the channel, including the greeter, is irrelevant. http://www.total-knowledge.com/~ilya/mips/ugt.html Feb 08 23:32:36 ahahaha Feb 08 23:32:40 :-p ok sprry Feb 08 23:32:43 sorry Feb 08 23:43:51 ka6sox-away: how's it going at scale? Feb 08 23:44:50 hey rwhitby, im trying to follow your guide for making a serial connection to my nslu2 Feb 08 23:45:36 and i have this old cable, which i used for connecting to an old wgt634u, where it is only required to connect GND, TXD and RXD, .. not VCC, so my cable does not have this. Do you know if its required on the NSLU2? Feb 08 23:45:56 i have soldered a small header onto the PCB, but when i connect the serial and boot, nothing appears onscreen Feb 08 23:47:58 its going good. Feb 08 23:51:56 03bzhou * r7730 10optware/trunk/make/py-configobj.mk: py-configobj: 4.5.0 -> 4.5.1 Feb 08 23:52:42 anyone uses usb hd with reiserfs? Feb 09 00:07:32 Blastur: if it's a 3.3V cable, it's not required Feb 09 00:09:14 its weird that i dont get any readings over the serial cable then, isnt it rwhitby? Feb 09 00:09:58 unless they are backwards. Feb 09 00:10:02 (tx and rx) Feb 09 00:21:19 ive used this cable for this router before: http://people.zoy.org/~walken/wgt634u/HOWTO.html Feb 09 00:21:33 I would like some help creating a bb file for apcupsd on slugosbe Feb 09 00:21:53 but i now see its the other way around Feb 09 00:21:56 like you said ka6sox-away ;) Feb 09 00:27:27 Blastur, np...been there, done that. Feb 09 00:28:30 the worst thing is, ive written what each pin on my cable represents, and its WRONG :) i've written RX on a piece of tape and attached it to the cable, so i wouldnt forget Feb 09 00:28:35 when its actually TX Feb 09 00:28:39 *slams head into desk* Feb 09 00:28:54 it happens. Feb 09 00:29:01 at least its not fatal. Feb 09 00:29:20 im just glad i decided to solder a header onto the pcb :) Feb 09 00:29:25 so i dont have to mess with that again Feb 09 00:30:02 yeppers Feb 09 00:30:19 took me like an hour to remove the tin from the J2 connector, just because ive misplaced my tin sucker Feb 09 00:50:03 horray! it works ka6sox-away :] Feb 09 00:50:27 though, this is perhaps the UGLIEST serial cable known to man Feb 09 00:50:48 i had to solder up a little quickhax to reroute the tx/rx wires without rewiring the entire cable Feb 09 01:00:20 so now to my real problem, anyone know why my system boots fine with only a USB stick attach, and fails miserably when I also attach a HDD disk? The slug cannot be reached through the network.. it seems to be having difficulties starting apps, like sshd, in the case where HDD is connected Feb 09 01:00:37 here is the log output using serial, when both HDD and stick is attached and system is booted: http://pastebin.com/m69affeca Feb 09 01:01:04 i have verified that the correct UUID is mentioned in /initrd/linuxrc Feb 09 01:01:12 (the UUID of my flash stick) Feb 09 01:01:50 the problem seems to be that in the case when both HDD and memstick is attached, it calls HDD sda, which usually is the memstick name Feb 09 01:02:03 but i think refering to the partitions by UUID should do it, right? Feb 09 01:06:20 any ideas? Feb 09 01:09:22 i think the problem lies in that in linuxrc, /dev/sda1 is specified.. should it not find the device by UUID? Feb 09 01:09:37 it seems to mention both UUID and device name, like /dev/sda1 Feb 09 01:21:48 no suggestions? :( i guess ill be going to bed then Feb 09 01:21:56 thanks for your help ka6sox-away, much appreciated Feb 09 01:21:59 gnite! Feb 09 01:53:04 if i ever patch (actually should be written "when") first i will get ridden lines line 99-105 (pastebin). i really hate [[ notation, and it should absolutely be onbly [] notation (if you do not understand, please reread you basic math leasson. thanks.
