**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 01 02:59:57 2010 Sep 01 04:57:54 johnsu01, Sep 01 04:58:05 I know what your issue is Sep 01 04:58:45 johnsu01, ping me when you come alive Sep 01 04:59:23 Bryanstein: I'm alive :) Sep 01 05:00:09 so I read up a little but I didn't read it all...are you saying that your eth0 is not functioning anymore? Sep 01 05:00:44 Bryanstein: eth0 is functioning and gets an address according to my router (I'm at least 90% sure about this), but I can't ping, ssh, or http the address Sep 01 05:01:19 which seems to be expected (surprisingly to me) if it's trying to be in AP mode -- but there's no wifi network being advertised Sep 01 05:02:13 so you are trying to utilize both or just eth0? Sep 01 05:02:40 if you disable wifi ...eth0 will surely work...I noticed this once before also...I got an ip but no pinging Sep 01 05:02:51 even if I set an ip...nothing would happen Sep 01 05:03:08 Bryanstein: what do you mean by utilize both? right now I can't access the device through any method Sep 01 05:03:17 any? lol Sep 01 05:03:36 it's not advertising the wifi network anymore, and nothing is responding on eth0 Sep 01 05:03:38 so it's quasi bricked? Or do you mean remotely...no networking Sep 01 05:03:49 ok do this...kill the uap Sep 01 05:03:55 bring it down Sep 01 05:04:08 I have no shell on it, I can't kill or start anything :) Sep 01 05:04:18 no jtag? Sep 01 05:04:33 nope Sep 01 05:05:07 ummm ...wait...so this is a guruplug huh? Sep 01 05:05:15 yeah, server plus Sep 01 05:05:42 You have to pay for the break out for jtag? Sep 01 05:07:12 Hmmm...I'm thinking...because you are right...I experienced this before and that nic won't do anything ...it wouldnt show up on the network for me Sep 01 05:08:06 johnsu01, this is what you can do Sep 01 05:08:12 Bryanstein: I think I need this http://www.globalscaletechnologies.com/p-28-guruplug-jtag.aspx for jtag access Sep 01 05:08:22 pretty simple but you'll be flying blind Sep 01 05:08:30 easy usb keyboard Sep 01 05:08:39 you'll get a tty...it's on now Sep 01 05:08:51 type in a username and password Sep 01 05:09:08 ahhhh hah this is worth a try :) Sep 01 05:09:16 lol that will work my friend Sep 01 05:09:21 just get you CLI on Sep 01 05:09:32 so, what do you think I need to kill/start in order to restore it? Sep 01 05:09:38 uap Sep 01 05:09:41 but now Sep 01 05:09:43 do this Sep 01 05:09:44 ummm Sep 01 05:09:47 usb hub Sep 01 05:09:53 keydrive Sep 01 05:10:09 you want to mount the usb key Sep 01 05:10:17 dump ps aux to the key Sep 01 05:10:42 then umount it...look at the err pid of the uap stuff...then kill -9 it Sep 01 05:10:48 also you can try pkill uap Sep 01 05:10:56 try that first actually Sep 01 05:11:18 you can also wipe out the interfaces file Sep 01 05:11:32 cp it to somewhere there rm it then touch it Sep 01 05:11:46 s/there/then Sep 01 05:13:01 type really slow Sep 01 05:13:03 lol Sep 01 05:14:21 hm what's something I can type that will confirm whether I'm logged in or not? Sep 01 05:14:32 that I can see a reaction from Sep 01 05:14:40 haha well LOL reboot Sep 01 05:14:41 hehehe Sep 01 05:14:59 just go for it Sep 01 05:15:00 heh I guess that's worth it for the first try, I'm not totally confident in this keyboard Sep 01 05:15:15 lol what is it in like...Chinese? Sep 01 05:15:24 you'll get it man Sep 01 05:15:27 it's dvorak and a ps/2 adapter Sep 01 05:15:33 ohhhhhhhh Sep 01 05:15:33 but yes, reboot worked! Sep 01 05:15:46 well so now you know you're in ...well were in Sep 01 05:16:11 so it'll come back up and you'll be locked out and...log back in and try that pkill uap Sep 01 05:16:14 and see if that does it Sep 01 05:16:31 pkill uap should activate the wireless network, or should make eth0 respond? Sep 01 05:17:21 it should kill the wifiap Sep 01 05:17:34 have another box running an endless ping to the ip Sep 01 05:17:44 ip of eth0 that is Sep 01 05:18:01 now you might need to set the route and all but we got that covered Sep 01 05:18:20 no matter what...you'll get it eventually like this Sep 01 05:18:41 instead of waiting and paying for the breakout...lol which you need...cause you'll break it again for sure Sep 01 05:19:12 don't feel bad about the usb keyboard. I wouldnt have one unless someone gave it to me Sep 01 05:19:36 I had one, but I lent it out and did not get it back before I moved Sep 01 05:19:44 okay, tried pkill uap, still no ping response Sep 01 05:19:55 ok...ummm lemme think Sep 01 05:20:14 try ifdown uap0 Sep 01 05:20:32 or ifconfig uap0 down Sep 01 05:20:38 either does the same thing Sep 01 05:20:49 once you KNOW you typed that right...lets fool with eth0 Sep 01 05:21:21 is eth0 set for dhcp? Sep 01 05:21:41 eth0 is dhcp yeah Sep 01 05:21:53 hmmm well ok lets do the long way Sep 01 05:21:58 dhclient -r eth0 Sep 01 05:22:03 then dhclient eth0 Sep 01 05:22:04 and wait Sep 01 05:22:13 but now...you might get any ip Sep 01 05:22:18 check your router Sep 01 05:22:34 so what you are pinging might be wrong...lets set it static Sep 01 05:22:54 does your network look like 192.168.1.X? Sep 01 05:22:59 yes Sep 01 05:23:02 you know how to set the ip right? Sep 01 05:23:11 ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.200 Sep 01 05:23:17 I'm pretty confident in the IP, my router shows it as a marvell MAC Sep 01 05:23:25 and it's what came up after I plugged in the ethernet cable Sep 01 05:23:39 ok so...is it pinging? Sep 01 05:23:52 does it get an ip from the router? Sep 01 05:24:10 it gets an ip over dhcp from the router, but it is not pingable Sep 01 05:25:25 rmmod uap Sep 01 05:26:32 one sec, rebooting because I tried to just run wlan.sh to see what happened Sep 01 05:26:50 well that runs everytime at startup Sep 01 05:27:01 so what you did was edit the interfaces and that's all? Sep 01 05:27:23 just cp it and rm it Sep 01 05:27:24 I edited the interface file, then I ran wlan.sh, my ssh session froze and after that I could not access it Sep 01 05:27:32 fixing interfaces should fix it Sep 01 05:28:30 well if you have a hub cp it to flash disk or anywhere else...or just rm it...nothing is really set in there before hand except dhcp auto for the eth0 Sep 01 05:29:27 okay I tried replacing it, rebooting.. Sep 01 05:29:41 replacing it with what? nothing? Sep 01 05:30:07 auto lo Sep 01 05:30:08 iface lo inet loopback Sep 01 05:30:14 which IIRC was all that was in there when I edited it Sep 01 05:30:27 also it was auto eth0 Sep 01 05:30:33 got it! Sep 01 05:30:40 inet eth0 dhcp Sep 01 05:31:06 iface eth0 inet dhcp Sep 01 05:31:31 but you should take auto out and put in allow-hotplug to keep it from waiting forever during boot Sep 01 05:31:50 good stuff johnsu01 ...now you know..it's temperamental Sep 01 05:32:22 hm might have spoken too soon, I see the network now and can connect to it, but no ssh yet.. Sep 01 05:32:57 if you can ping it... Sep 01 05:33:08 /etc/init.d/ssh restart just for wtf sake Sep 01 05:33:30 it should be back in a sec...sometimes mine lags a little too Sep 01 05:36:28 rebooting without ethernet plugged in worked Sep 01 05:36:34 now I can ssh in Sep 01 05:38:34 I can't view gti's site from here...I always get REFUSED in my browser...how much is their jtag breakout? Sep 01 05:38:53 $39 :( Sep 01 05:39:00 WOaaaaaaaa Sep 01 05:39:12 wtf a plug is 99 Sep 01 05:39:15 hahahahahahaha Sep 01 05:39:16 yeah, raises the cost of the thing by 1/3rd Sep 01 05:41:41 nice trick Bryanstein Sep 01 05:42:08 tinker-f595, I live and die by that keyboard Sep 01 05:42:19 I send sysrq to my plug through it lOL Sep 01 05:42:26 well that is why GUI only systems suck Sep 01 05:42:32 yeah, thanks Bryanstein, I wouldn't have thought of that -- I'm not used to having devices that are "bricked" but still boot sufficiently to have USB keyboard support Sep 01 05:43:03 johnsu01: well it was not really bricked. You had just borked network access Sep 01 05:43:12 tinker-f595, exactly...if you're not stable on the cli...then you shouldnt be using "dev kits" or dev devices Sep 01 05:43:37 yea it was far from bricked..it's really hard to brick there Sep 01 05:43:42 s/there/these Sep 01 05:43:46 true Sep 01 05:44:08 I did manage to screw up the console on one though...once it boots linux..it's pure junk Sep 01 05:44:57 tinker-f595, any idea where the ionics LSP stuff is Sep 01 05:45:01 like images and the sort? Sep 01 05:45:06 naw Sep 01 05:45:26 it comes with Ubuntu which I am just sooo beyond using on this thing Sep 01 05:47:59 never been impressed with ubuntu Sep 01 05:48:16 well time for sleep... Sep 01 05:58:35 these instructions don't seem to work: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Setting_GuruPlug_to_be_a_WiFi_Client Sep 01 05:58:56 as soon as wlan.sh is run, there's no more ssh over the Plug network, and it still doesn't respond on eth0 Sep 01 06:08:10 hmmm Sep 01 06:08:12 am I alive still Sep 01 06:09:02 johnsu01, Sep 01 06:13:01 Bryanstein: I have it in client mode and associated with my network now Sep 01 06:13:12 now I can get rid of all this strange stuff and have it come up like a normal system... :) Sep 01 06:13:43 you have to mod that script a lot to make it to your liking Sep 01 06:13:54 that script is whacked out too Sep 01 06:13:59 I just want it to come up like a vanilla debian system Sep 01 06:14:39 so it's in client mode now eh? Sep 01 06:15:01 yeah Sep 01 06:15:06 via the cgi scripts Sep 01 06:15:35 well the ap stuff is cool, but really most people use client mode Sep 01 06:16:11 cause the thing only is doing like 61-63mw on the power Sep 01 06:16:25 mW that is Sep 01 06:16:52 it was having a lot of issues getting to my access point even on 1Mb connection Sep 01 06:50:14 what is supposed to be at http://10.82.108.51/kedars/sheevaplug_wifi/builds/packages/ ? Sep 01 06:50:20 it's in the sources.list but isn't responding Sep 01 07:08:00 johnsu01, take it out Sep 01 07:13:46 johnsu01, that thing does not work Sep 01 07:26:16 Bryanstein: heh, okay Sep 01 07:26:53 johnsu01, that is some internal ip at gti or something Sep 01 07:27:51 nice **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Sep 01 12:36:30 2010 Sep 01 16:02:16 hey folks Sep 01 16:03:07 could someone help me get my debian-on-nand booting? Sep 01 16:03:29 I installed to USB then cp -ax'd it to the jffs2 partition Sep 01 16:03:40 now I need to tell u-boot how to find the kernel and initrd Sep 01 16:05:33 for clarity, I rm -rf'd the jaunty data from the partition Sep 01 16:12:23 cj: you should find the info somewhere in the wiki http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Main_Page Sep 01 16:12:39 thanks. Sep 01 16:12:40 need to get to work now Sep 01 17:21:23 this covers creating uImage Sep 01 17:21:24 http://groups.google.com/group/openrd/browse_thread/thread/43f84129e288de89?fwc=2&pli=1 Sep 01 17:21:30 anyone got one for uInitrd ? Sep 01 17:30:48 cj: you can use the precompiled uImage from http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/ Sep 01 17:31:02 and since the sheevaplug hardware doesn't change there's no reason to have a uInitrd Sep 01 17:31:25 (initrd are traditionally only used for loading modules based on the current hardware, where you don't already know what it's going to be{) Sep 01 17:32:42 http://pastebin.com/ccM2tDH5 Sep 01 17:33:23 I want my own kernel ;) Sep 01 17:33:32 and I want to use the one that comes with debian Sep 01 17:33:38 and they use initrd Sep 01 17:34:13 for instance, the mtd drivers aren't built-in and are provided only via the initrd Sep 01 17:34:16 IIRC Sep 01 17:35:12 that's why in the with-linux kernels everything *is* built in Sep 01 17:35:58 is it the same kernel version that debian supports? Sep 01 17:36:54 look at the site, there's every kernel version from 2.6.30.1 to 2.6.35.4 Sep 01 17:37:49 and the .config is in the folder, so you can recompile if you ever need to Sep 01 17:38:03 thanks Sep 01 17:38:21 btw don't forget to install the modules and depmod afterwards Sep 01 17:38:59 (tar -xaf sheeva-2.6.35.4-Modules.tar.gz -C / ) Sep 01 17:40:49 dont you just have to execute the readme file? Sep 01 17:41:37 I never installed the modules.. I just ran "./readme --nann". Sep 01 17:41:40 if you want to obliterate your uboot settings Sep 01 17:42:27 "./readme --nand"* Sep 01 17:42:48 what do you mean? I never had to change my uboot settings in order to boot the new kernel. Sep 01 17:43:58 flash_eraseall -j /dev/$Mtd Sep 01 17:43:58 nandwrite -pm /dev/$Mtd sheeva-$KVer-uImage Sep 01 17:45:08 i had some problems with that deleting my custom setup Sep 01 17:50:59 alright... so after I dd if=/boot/uImage of=/dev/mtdblock1 how do I get u-boot to launch it? Sep 01 17:51:44 if it's already set to boot from there, just reboot should work Sep 01 17:51:56 it's not Sep 01 17:51:57 if not, you'll have to change your bootcmd Sep 01 17:52:00 it's currently booting from usb Sep 01 17:54:28 use the sheevaplug_installer_v1.0 to set it to boot from nand Sep 01 17:55:13 or maybe just change root=/dev/sda1 to root=/dev/mtdblock1 Sep 01 17:55:19 in your bootcmd Sep 01 17:55:32 s/cmd/args/ **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Sep 02 02:59:58 2010
