**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 04 02:59:56 2005 Sep 04 03:11:51 hi koen Sep 04 03:15:25 hey eFfeM Sep 04 03:15:57 found the cause of the problem I had yesterday Sep 04 03:16:20 apparently when booting only sda1 to 4 are there and my root was on sda5 so it could not mount Sep 04 03:16:40 I see Sep 04 03:16:43 added a mknod for sda5 in /boot/disk and it started working Sep 04 03:17:27 the odd thing is that after booting from flash /dev/sda5 is there so I feel a little bit lost to what is the "good" fix Sep 04 03:18:54 any idea? Sep 04 03:19:22 ask the coredevs to adjust the makedev script Sep 04 03:20:02 ehm. I'm a newbe, who are the coredevs ? Sep 04 03:20:10 i thought adding it to slugbug Sep 04 03:20:28 rwhitby-awa, dyound byront, nmail: Sep 04 03:20:47 ok Sep 04 03:21:16 since I got no answer in #nslu2-general, what is http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/OpenDebianSlug ? Sep 04 03:21:47 are the any differences to the other debian dist apart from the installation? Sep 04 03:21:57 our compiled version of debian for armeb Sep 04 03:22:08 so the ethernet works Sep 04 03:22:16 ah, alright Sep 04 03:22:18 but we have to rebuild each package on a slug... Sep 04 03:23:15 hmm Sep 04 03:23:20 which do you suggest I use? Sep 04 03:23:41 ... and do either support wireless networking without modification? Sep 04 03:24:22 opendebian and openslug are capable of the same, debian is a bit more polished Sep 04 03:24:32 and of course debian takes more space due to apt/dpkg Sep 04 03:25:14 yeah Sep 04 03:25:48 I never managed to get wireless networking working on openslug Sep 04 03:26:10 oh, I meant the difference between the two debians, but I suppose there isn't much difference Sep 04 03:26:28 phatmonkey^iBook: what was the issue you encountered for wireless? Sep 04 03:29:33 dyoung, don't know if you followed the chat I had with koen|train Sep 04 03:29:48 I ran into problems putting the rootfs on /dev/sda5 Sep 04 03:30:12 apparently when boot/disk is running /dev/sda5 does not exist Sep 04 03:30:21 can this be fixed one way or another? Sep 04 03:30:27 dyoung: one sec, I'll boot up my slug Sep 04 03:31:38 brb Sep 04 03:33:34 alright Sep 04 03:33:50 eth0 is the on board ethernet Sep 04 03:33:54 and it seems to work fine Sep 04 03:34:08 root@slug:~# ifconfig eth1 Sep 04 03:34:08 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:B3:02:02:02 Sep 04 03:34:08 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 Sep 04 03:34:08 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 Sep 04 03:34:08 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Sep 04 03:34:09 collisions:0 txqueuelen:256 Sep 04 03:34:13 RX bytes:0 (0.0 B) TX bytes:0 (0.0 B) Sep 04 03:34:15 root@slug:~# Sep 04 03:34:24 I'm assuming that's the wireless network adaptor Sep 04 03:34:41 it's a prism2 device, it should work natively, but I've never set up a wireless network on linux Sep 04 03:35:13 but... Sep 04 03:35:15 root@slug:~# ifup eth1 Sep 04 03:35:15 ifup: Ignoring unknown interface eth1 Sep 04 03:36:55 hmm Sep 04 03:37:10 did you edit up /etc/network/interfaces for eth1 ? Sep 04 03:37:25 whoops Sep 04 03:37:27 eFfeM-away: Yes, we can address that. Sep 04 03:37:31 I'll take a look Sep 04 03:45:28 isn't eth1 the second MAC? Sep 04 03:45:40 my usb200M registers as eth2 Sep 04 03:45:41 Actualyl yes, Sep 04 03:46:06 his mac address tells us so. Sep 04 03:46:17 phatmonkey^iBook: listen to koen, hes the man. :-) Sep 04 03:46:38 usb200m = 100mbit adapter Sep 04 03:46:46 alright :) Sep 04 03:46:53 I've no idea Sep 04 03:47:07 are the hostap drivers installed? Sep 04 03:47:33 probably not... Sep 04 03:47:41 because I certainly haven't installed them Sep 04 03:48:43 since I have never used wireless networking on linux, I have honestly no idea where to start Sep 04 03:48:59 I know I have a Linksys prism2 based USB adaptor Sep 04 03:49:03 and that's about it... Sep 04 03:49:36 the debian howto is quite nice Sep 04 03:49:46 and openslug uses the same config files as debian :) Sep 04 03:50:07 alright, thanks Sep 04 03:53:55 hmm, link? http://www.google.com/search?q=debian+wireless+howto turns up few relevant results Sep 04 03:56:03 http://www.linuxplanet.com/linuxplanet/tutorials/5736/1/ - hmm... Sep 04 04:01:37 not very helpful Sep 04 04:02:00 the first article assumes it shows up in ifconfig Sep 04 04:02:32 it's a network interface after all Sep 04 04:02:45 it only shows when I specify eth1 (ifconfig eth1) Sep 04 04:02:57 but I've no idea if that's my wireless network adaptor Sep 04 04:03:13 eth1 is the internal ethernet Sep 04 04:03:21 ah, ok Sep 04 04:03:29 the slug has 2 ethernet MAC, but only one PHY Sep 04 04:05:14 hmm Sep 04 04:05:51 where's that debian howto? Sep 04 04:05:57 I suppose I need to get drivers installed now Sep 04 04:11:17 hi nail Sep 04 04:12:50 isn't apache a package in openslug ? Sep 04 04:15:04 apache is in the native feed in openslug 2.6 (head) Sep 04 04:15:55 nail, do you have time now? Sep 04 04:16:08 hm, how can i get that ? (i'm on 2.5 beta) Sep 04 04:23:59 dyoung: uh, I guess I do Sep 04 12:26:18 hi inge Sep 04 12:27:45 eFfeM: http://handhelds.org/hypermail/oe-commits/13/1375.html Sep 04 12:28:30 tnx koen|slug Sep 04 12:28:56 this works only if I recompile the kernel I assume Sep 04 12:29:50 if you rebuild the image, yes Sep 04 12:29:59 (not the kernel, but the filesystem) Sep 04 12:30:33 ok, will do that in due time; i'm not ready for that yet (want to resolve a few other things first) Sep 04 12:30:39 * koen|slug rejoices over the upslug2 news Sep 04 12:33:14 like why does ipkg install always does a configure of coretools and comes up with a lot of linking errors (and how to get rid of this) Sep 04 12:33:29 the lsmod thing? Sep 04 12:33:38 a lot of things Sep 04 12:34:45 a few lines: Sep 04 12:34:45 # ipkg install ntp Sep 04 12:34:45 Package ntp (4.2.0-r5) installed in root is up to date. Sep 04 12:34:45 Configuring coreutils Sep 04 12:34:45 update-alternatives: Error: not linking //usr/bin/basename to basename.coreutils since //usr/bin/basename exists and is not a link Sep 04 12:35:06 and it goes on and on with link errors Sep 04 12:35:14 uh oh Sep 04 12:35:18 more u-a fun Sep 04 12:36:14 i've installed openslug yesterday and I am still trying to sort out things Sep 04 12:37:29 * koen|slug tries to remeber the ipkg magic Sep 04 12:37:40 ipkg whatprovides /usr/bin/basename Sep 04 12:37:41 iirc Sep 04 12:40:11 one moment, the slug is rebooting Sep 04 12:42:58 root@NSLU2:~# ipkg whatprovides /usr/bin/basename Sep 04 12:42:58 Collected errors: Sep 04 12:42:58 What provides /usr/bin/basename Sep 04 12:50:49 okay, I remembered incorrectly :( Sep 04 12:51:36 tried ipkg search basename but also to no avail Sep 04 12:53:25 i think basename was already in the std root fs
