**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 07 10:59:57 2006 Feb 07 14:15:40 ugh. i did an ipkg upgrade. Feb 07 14:16:04 without /sbin on my path (default bash) Feb 07 14:16:43 like this: http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1502 ? Feb 07 14:17:42 koen: Take a look at this: http://pastebin.ca/40471 Feb 07 14:17:58 the ipkg upgrade kinda kills my system :-P Feb 07 14:20:07 NAiL: http://handhelds.org/~bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1445 and http://ewi546.ewi.utwente.nl/tmp/viewmtn/revision.psp?id=835b381694f63907d7e349c625eb909189a3bf73 Feb 07 14:20:24 I guess slugos would want the same (in .dev) Feb 07 14:20:58 sounds like *every* distro in .dev would want that Feb 07 14:23:32 ok, then I get it Feb 07 14:24:35 we've been testing upgrade paths a lot with familiar recently Feb 07 14:25:36 I guess that fix should've been in the slugos-3.5-beta release Feb 07 15:30:02 fwiw, Xora and I just fixed cups in OE Feb 07 15:30:16 I bet people would love to use their slug as a print server :) Feb 07 15:33:34 koen|train: I'm not sure I understand how the resolv.conf file actually gets deleted... Feb 07 15:34:04 NAiL: I suspect update-volatile just replaces it Feb 07 15:34:16 when I ipkg upgrade? Feb 07 15:34:33 I guess someone should teach it to save the config, replace it, restore the config Feb 07 15:34:47 NAiL: yes, the postinst runs update-volatile iirc Feb 07 15:36:12 on the slug it should just.. not touch the resolv conf ;) Feb 07 15:36:31 heh Feb 07 15:39:31 there is no update-volatile script on my slug at all? Feb 07 15:39:47 hmmm Feb 07 15:40:38 in that case ipkg removes base-files before installing the new basefiles Feb 07 15:41:18 woohoo. That's like... cool on a running system :D Feb 07 15:54:49 koen|train: Is there an easy way to avoid that? Feb 07 15:55:57 NAiL: downgrade ipkg or upgrade to ipkg .159 Feb 07 15:56:10 but pigi@frumar.it (ipkg maintainer) would know best Feb 07 16:23:47 hi, anybody can answer a question about apex when fattening my slug? Feb 07 16:32:31 fire away. Maybe somebody can answer. Feb 07 16:33:05 i fattened my slug with 2 32x16 chips, so it should have 128MB Feb 07 16:33:08 It should be as easy as changing apex's kernel command line from what I read. Feb 07 16:33:27 i build apex with the correct memory setting (0x08000000) Feb 07 16:33:47 Did you read the apex wiki and the nslu2 wiki? Feb 07 16:33:50 i need to change the command line in this case too? Feb 07 16:34:09 yeah, i did Feb 07 16:34:14 Beewoolie would be the right person to talk to but he's not around right now Feb 07 16:34:37 yes, he is mentioned on the wiki Feb 07 16:34:44 Well, changing the kernel command line would permit the kernel to use the 128megs. Feb 07 16:34:47 i also wrote a private message to g2 Feb 07 16:35:16 yep. beewoolie wrote apex and [g2] uses it with a 64megs slug. Feb 07 16:35:17 in apex i added "mem=128MB@0x000000" to the cmdline variable, this should be correct? Feb 07 16:35:38 not sure as I'm too chicken to fatten mine. Feb 07 16:35:47 :) Feb 07 16:35:53 actually, make that too lazy. Feb 07 16:36:07 Plus I'm too cheap to buy some ram sticks. Feb 07 16:36:08 :) Feb 07 16:36:27 maybe i should try normal openslug, i'm trying to boot debianslug at the moment Feb 07 16:36:39 maybe the LE-kernel doesn't read the "mem" cmdline? Feb 07 16:37:04 I have no idea about debian. I'm strictly an openslug guy. Feb 07 16:37:35 it's the same kernel but uses little endian, i don't know if anything else was changed... Feb 07 16:37:50 It should be pretty close. Feb 07 16:37:50 i'm gonna flash openslug and see :) Feb 07 16:37:58 are you using openslug-3.1? Feb 07 16:38:03 or HEAD perhaps. Feb 07 16:38:08 i used openslug 2.7 before Feb 07 16:38:25 the debianslug-image i'm using right now is based on HEAD Feb 07 16:38:38 ok. Just wondering as the upcoming 3.5 beta has changed quite a bit. Feb 07 16:39:06 no, if everything works, i'll stay with debianslug :) Feb 07 16:39:08 I'm not sure how much they changed the kernel command line. You might have to update apex's config to match. Feb 07 16:39:35 hm, i'll try with the old openslug 2.7 first... thanks so far Feb 07 16:40:47 i hope i can still do a simple "reflash" with apex on the slug... :) Feb 07 16:40:56 but i think this shouldn't matter Feb 07 16:48:45 ok, it's a problem of the debianslug-kernel! Feb 07 16:48:53 with openslug 2.7 it works as expected Feb 07 16:49:20 so i'll drop a message to the mailinglist Feb 07 16:49:20 strange Feb 07 16:49:31 but I bet the latest openslug is the same. Feb 07 16:49:35 good idea. Feb 07 16:49:47 root@LKG7F63EE:~# free Feb 07 16:49:48 total used free shared buffers Feb 07 16:49:48 Mem: 128036 10916 117120 0 0 Feb 07 16:49:48 Swap: 0 0 0 Feb 07 16:49:48 Total: 128036 10916 117120 Feb 07 16:49:48 root@LKG7F63EE:~# Feb 07 16:49:51 :) Feb 07 16:50:24 sweet! Feb 07 16:50:36 now you made me jealous! Feb 07 16:50:49 i still have to chips laying around... ;) Feb 07 16:51:04 i'm not sure if i should try to make a 256MB-slug... Feb 07 16:51:47 hehehe Feb 07 16:53:10 I'm not sure if that'll work Feb 07 16:53:25 I think there were some issues with addressing with a 256mb slug Feb 07 16:53:43 ah? Feb 07 16:53:53 didn't read anything about this? Feb 07 16:53:58 Not sure though ;) Feb 07 16:55:24 damn, I need to find some RAM chips now. Feb 07 16:55:48 64Meg slug would be fine but I'm not sure if I'll go the piggy-back way or not. Feb 07 16:56:04 but be warned, i nearly gave up when the slug wouldn't boot with the new chips... Feb 07 16:56:04 I need to redo my bad soldering :-P Feb 07 16:56:19 The easiest one would be better as I don't have access to the proper soldering gear anymore. Feb 07 16:56:22 i had to do this too ;) Feb 07 16:56:40 which method did you guys used? Feb 07 16:56:48 NAiL, Are you running at 64Meg? Feb 07 16:56:50 I yanked off the old chips Feb 07 16:56:59 probably easier right. Feb 07 16:57:05 And IIRC, my slug would have 128mb when I'm done ;) Feb 07 16:57:14 so I would need two chips of what type? Feb 07 16:57:22 (for 64megs) Feb 07 16:57:50 32x16, I think? There's a table on the wiki. Feb 07 16:57:58 I just get confused by the numbers :-P Feb 07 16:58:15 yeah, me too. Feb 07 16:58:26 I managed to break a solderpad while removing the two chips though. Fortunately, there's 4 our of 108 NC pins. I hit one of them ;-) Feb 07 16:58:27 I'll check it out after lunch. Feb 07 16:58:55 I do happen to have a few 32Megs DIMMs spares but I probably need to sacrifice a 64 or 128 one which sucks Feb 07 16:59:08 ouch. scary. Feb 07 16:59:16 anyways, lunch time... later. Feb 07 16:59:31 koen|770: That "770" probably means I should be envious :-P Feb 07 16:59:56 :) Feb 07 17:02:08 VoodooZ: for 128 there are 2 ways possible, look at the table in the wiki... Feb 07 17:03:26 table is at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/FattenYourSlug Feb 07 17:07:22 anybody here using debianslug? Feb 07 17:07:58 yeah Feb 07 17:08:24 is it normal that reflash finds a lot of errors when verifying the flash? Feb 07 17:08:33 uhm no Feb 07 17:08:39 that's not a good sign Feb 07 17:08:49 at least it did when i flashed back to openslug... Feb 07 17:09:01 however, it runs :) Feb 07 17:09:09 hmm Feb 07 17:09:11 strange Feb 07 17:09:25 i wondered if it has to do with the different endianess Feb 07 17:09:36 nah Feb 07 17:09:45 Atleast, I don't think so Feb 07 17:10:00 I've never flashed to a different endianness with reflash though Feb 07 17:10:06 but i thougt it writes the flash byte-wise, so this shouldn't matter... Feb 07 17:15:43 NAiL, et al- what sort of big changes for openslug 3.5? Feb 07 17:16:16 hmm Feb 07 17:16:34 It now boots from the correct partition even if you have several disks Feb 07 17:16:39 Kernel upgrade to 2.6.15.2 Feb 07 17:16:49 new network drivers Feb 07 17:17:02 lot of package upgrades Feb 07 17:17:17 new leds/beep subsystem Feb 07 17:17:53 udev? I think udev was missed on 2.7-beta Feb 07 17:17:58 sysfs Feb 07 17:18:14 the fs can now be fsck'ed on boot :) Feb 07 17:18:40 all swap is automounted, unless otherwise specified Feb 07 17:19:04 That's what I can remember off of the top of my head Feb 07 17:19:24 is this only for openslug? or is slugos affected from the changes, too? Feb 07 17:19:42 slugos is the base for openslug, debianslug, ucslugc. Feb 07 17:19:58 these are changes to slugos ;) Feb 07 17:19:58 yeah, i mean are there changes in this base too, recently? Feb 07 17:20:25 yes Feb 07 17:20:26 ok, but some of the changes could be specifically for openslug... Feb 07 17:20:41 hm, so maybe anythink with the memory was changed, too? Feb 07 17:20:46 not really. Only minor filesystem support changes Feb 07 17:20:54 my build of slugos-le is about 2 weeks old... Feb 07 17:20:58 hm :-/ Feb 07 17:21:24 It *shouldn't* be a difference in how much ram it detects Feb 07 17:21:26 something must have been changed from openslug 2.7 to debianslug Feb 07 17:21:35 oh yes Feb 07 17:21:37 a lot Feb 07 17:21:53 the list above, for instance (and switch to LE for debianslug) Feb 07 17:22:17 sure, the LE-thing, this is the reason to change to debianslug, isn't it ;) Feb 07 17:22:31 but you know, i'm after this memory thing :) Feb 07 17:22:34 yeah Feb 07 17:22:46 There's been done a lot with the kernel since 2.7-beta Feb 07 17:23:23 and if the ram isn't detected properly when you use APEX (and pass the correct cmdline), you'll have to recompile the kernel with a cmdline that specifies the size. Feb 07 17:23:48 compile the kernel with a commandline? hm Feb 07 17:24:02 yes, the cmdline is overridden in the kernel, you see Feb 07 17:24:22 ah, the kernel overwrites the command line it gets from APEX? Feb 07 17:24:29 or at least the memory setting? Feb 07 17:24:40 it probably overwrites all of it Feb 07 17:25:04 so i have to look at the kernel sources themselfes...? Feb 07 17:25:26 no, it's specified (IIRC) in the ixp4xx-kernel-.bb Feb 07 17:25:45 ok, thanks, i'll have a look Feb 07 17:25:48 np Feb 07 17:25:58 kitno455: Any specific changes you were looking for? ,) Feb 07 17:26:13 I've probably forgotten half of what has happened anyway. Feb 07 17:26:19 new rtc subsystem too Feb 07 17:26:19 it would be *REALLY* great if it works... i dream of a LAMP on the slug :) Feb 07 17:26:58 * NAiL is more fan of LAsqliteP Feb 07 17:27:57 mysql is big, sqlite is small ;) Feb 07 17:28:15 hm, i NEED big things for my BIG memory ;) Feb 07 17:28:40 haha, no, sure, smaller is better... Feb 07 17:29:03 haha Feb 07 17:29:29 More mem for more diskcache ;) Feb 07 17:30:02 arg, i don't like python :( Feb 07 17:40:13 hi joschkopf... i see it's working? 128MB? Feb 07 17:40:34 hey... yeah but only on openslug, not on debianslug Feb 07 17:40:47 oh, debianslug not working? Feb 07 17:42:30 Sinclair73de: don't you get the private messages? Feb 07 17:44:54 joschkopf: no pn, only " Sinclair73de: don't you get the private messages? " Feb 07 17:46:01 strange... Feb 07 17:46:11 joschkopf: later at home? or at girlfriend? Feb 07 17:46:21 i'm still at work Feb 07 17:46:22 i'm here till around nine Feb 07 17:46:28 oh :( Feb 07 17:47:41 i have opened #openslug-de if you have time ;) Feb 07 17:48:25 i'm on yahoo at 19:30, ok? Feb 07 17:48:32 okay... Feb 07 17:48:39 bye bye Feb 07 17:48:47 i'll dig through the bb-files til then, maybe i'll find something :) Feb 07 17:48:49 bye Feb 07 17:55:19 NAiL, nothing in particular, just wondering what has changed. i see the pr on kernel has gone up a bit since you added 2.6.15.2 Feb 07 17:55:42 not really, that was a problem with the merging Feb 07 17:55:49 it's 1.0 in the stable feed IIRC Feb 07 18:02:07 <[g2]> bummer just missed joschkopf Feb 07 18:03:12 morning, [g2] =) Feb 07 18:03:26 <[g2]> hey NAiL Feb 07 18:03:31 re Feb 07 18:37:40 hi, after boot of debianslug i have a wokring process "find" witch uses ut to 50% of cpu. Whats that? Feb 07 18:38:08 is this normal? Feb 07 18:38:20 it indexes your harddrive Feb 07 18:38:37 when it has finished, you can use 'locate ' to search for stuff Feb 07 18:38:38 let it run to the end? Feb 07 18:38:49 yeah Feb 07 18:38:57 ok, many thanks! Feb 07 18:38:59 the first run takes long Feb 07 18:39:17 after that it should only get the differences since the last run Feb 07 18:52:44 question: does the kernel provide any information about the command line which was used to start it? Feb 07 18:53:24 cat /proc/cmdline Feb 07 18:53:43 ah, thanks :) Feb 07 18:54:03 so i can see if your theory is correct :) Feb 07 19:03:43 hm, openslug works without the mem-cmdline with 128mb :-/ Feb 07 19:03:49 Really? the current openslug totally disregards the kernel command-line passed by apex?? Feb 07 19:04:18 it has 128MB memory available, regardless if I specify mem=128MB.... or nor Feb 07 19:04:19 That's good to know. I was fighting with it a few weeks ago Feb 07 19:04:22 not Feb 07 19:04:35 i don't know if it disregards the rest though! Feb 07 19:04:47 under openslug-2.7 that is though right? Feb 07 19:05:21 right Feb 07 19:05:22 <[cc]smart> wooha. slowly gaining cosciousness after HD disaster... Feb 07 19:06:42 <[cc]smart> along the course i noticed.... no webcache and no proxy in openslug packages ? no squid ? no nylon ? Feb 07 19:07:29 <[cc]smart> somebody has packages for these compiled ? (still no show for doing real work. all that is alive as of yet are networking environment. relying on slugs more than ever :)) Feb 07 20:39:01 <^herman^> thanks guys! Feb 07 20:39:53 <^herman^> the NLSU2 binaries run on my xscale device =) Feb 07 20:40:37 which xscale device is that? gumstix? Feb 07 20:43:38 <^herman^> no Feb 07 20:43:53 <^herman^> a freecom device called Freecom Storage Gateway Feb 07 20:44:19 What kind of specs?

Feb 07 21:12:00 <^herman^> g2 i din't Feb 07 21:12:10 <^herman^> kitno455 yes its my box Feb 07 21:12:42 <[g2]> Ahh... is says "Intel IXP425 _FREECOM_ Platform" Feb 07 21:12:45 <^herman^> enable ssh in fancywebconfig Feb 07 21:12:55 <^herman^> ask root passwd from developers Feb 07 21:13:01 <^herman^> run bootstrap Feb 07 21:13:06 <^herman^> and ready to rock Feb 07 21:13:21 <[g2]> ^herman^ it looks like an open box Feb 07 21:13:30 <^herman^> its open ;) Feb 07 21:13:36 <[g2]> from the forums that they are trying to open up the box Feb 07 21:13:38 <^herman^> ehm you have to know 1 url! Feb 07 21:13:50 <^herman^> oh sombody did mod his fan. Feb 07 21:14:05 <[g2]> is there a fan in the box ? Feb 07 21:14:09 <^herman^> yes Feb 07 21:14:33 * [g2] wonders if you can pull it Feb 07 21:14:35 <^herman^> hey it has a 160gig hd + megahot cpu Feb 07 21:14:48 <^herman^> you can mod it with custom heatplates Feb 07 21:15:18 <[g2]> The 425s I run are very cool Feb 07 21:17:23 <^herman^> oh i messed it up a bit. Feb 07 21:17:23 <^herman^> thats bad Feb 07 21:17:23 <^herman^> Power Supply Temperature: -2°C Feb 07 21:17:23 <^herman^> Controller Temperature: 2147483647°C Feb 07 21:17:25 <^herman^> CPU Temperature: 0°C Feb 07 21:17:27 <^herman^> Fanspeed: 8766rpm Feb 07 21:18:39 <[g2]> it's odd that I don't see anything in the ARM machine registery for Freecomd Feb 07 21:18:50 <[g2]> s/Freecomd/Freecom/ Feb 07 21:18:51 [g2] meant: it's odd that I don't see anything in the ARM machine registery for Freecom Feb 07 21:19:14 <^herman^> i don't understand what you are talking about ? Feb 07 21:19:34 <^herman^> ARM machine registery Feb 07 21:19:42 <[g2-lap]> http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/ Feb 07 21:19:49 <^herman^> oh its new ? Feb 07 21:20:16 <[g2]> You're missing the point Feb 07 21:20:38 <^herman^> correct Feb 07 21:20:57 <[g2]> the point is they are most likely miss using a machine ID Feb 07 21:21:37 <[g2]> most likely they just patched the Kernel string and are passing in the IXDP425 machine id 245 Feb 07 21:22:05 <^herman^> ehm ok Feb 07 21:22:28 <[g2]> it's an ARM kernel tech nit Feb 07 21:22:40 <^herman^> you need to add some string for your patches under a certain id ? Feb 07 21:23:11 <^herman^> so all the okay folks on the plannet can mod away on a certain id ? Feb 07 21:23:27 <[g2]> no that's the point Feb 07 21:23:47 <^herman^> i mean they used the default id Feb 07 21:23:59 <[g2]> I'm just guessing Feb 07 21:24:08 <^herman^> maybe if the release source they can issue an id ? Feb 07 21:24:15 <^herman^> its still closed source Feb 07 21:24:41 <^herman^> they PLAN on relaseing modifications but it takes time. Feb 07 21:24:44 <[g2]> ^herman^ you can register an id Feb 07 21:25:28 <[g2]> we registered one for the Slug nearly 2 years ago (597) Feb 07 21:26:22 <[g2]> I'm not sure what you are talking about regarding releasing the modifications Feb 07 21:26:47 <^herman^> ill clear things up then. Feb 07 21:26:50 <[g2]> I"m selling IXP425 boards and I've got all my patches together for ppl the purchase boards Feb 07 21:27:20 <^herman^> i just bought a device from freecom and am messing around a bit. Feb 07 21:27:27 <[g2]> I know Feb 07 21:27:33 <^herman^> THEY are not reasing kernel sources yet. Feb 07 21:27:38 <^herman^> and i din't modify it. Feb 07 21:27:43 <[g2]> I know Feb 07 21:27:52 <[g2]> I read the "sources" link on their web site Feb 07 21:27:52 <^herman^> whats the confusion then ? Feb 07 21:28:02 <^herman^> yes SOON Feb 07 21:28:07 <^herman^> gmbl. Feb 07 21:28:10 <[g2]> yeah RSN :) Feb 07 21:28:17 <^herman^> well i give them a bit of time... Feb 07 21:28:19 <[g2]> gmbl ?

Feb 07 21:30:13 <^herman^> it uses redboot Feb 07 21:30:30 <[g2]> I know I probably reflash it in a few minutes Feb 07 21:30:50 <^herman^> i don't dare to change the boot ;) Feb 07 21:30:53 <[g2]> Looks like they don't have a US office Feb 07 21:31:00 <[g2]> sissy :) Feb 07 21:31:21 <^herman^> hey i am a silly end user with no D*ck Feb 07 21:31:47 <^herman^> i like the "recover my FSG becouse i broke it" option in the windows program.

Feb 07 21:43:23 <^herman^> they told me Feb 07 21:43:43 <^herman^> i asked if i was okay modding it they sayed.. well just don't mess the redboot Feb 07 21:47:03 <^herman^> http://www.openfsg.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1373#1373 Feb 07 21:47:06 <^herman^> there you go Feb 07 21:47:36 <^herman^> oh they changed my status from guest to EXPERT ;) Feb 07 21:48:21 <^herman^> Creating 5 MTD partitions on "IXP425 Flash": Feb 07 21:48:21 <^herman^> 0x00000000-0x00040000 : "RedBoot" Feb 07 21:48:21 <^herman^> 0x00080000-0x00200000 : "kern1" Feb 07 21:48:22 <^herman^> 0x00200000-0x00380000 : "kern2" Feb 07 21:51:39 <^herman^> i can portforward to it if you like ;) Feb 07 21:56:12 is "make update" working to update from 28.jan. to now or is it better to check out all new before make debianslug-image? Feb 07 22:26:04 <[g2]> ^herman^ THX Feb 07 22:27:42 <[g2]> ^herman^ have you tried telneting to RedBoot or is there serial ? Feb 07 22:27:55 <[g2]> they are booting straight off the disk (hda2) Feb 07 22:29:04 <^herman^> [g2] don't know the ports tot telnet 2 Feb 07 22:29:10 <^herman^> tied some ;) Feb 07 22:34:52 <[g2]> heh Feb 07 22:34:56 <[g2]> kern1 kern2 Feb 07 22:36:11 <^herman^> you mean grab for it ? Feb 07 22:36:44 <^herman^> i can run a "fix my device" with a sniffer inbetween ;) Feb 07 22:36:46 <[g2]> ^herman^ He's my guess on the situation Feb 07 22:37:01 <[g2]> Oh it's easier than that Feb 07 22:37:08 <^herman^> okay Feb 07 22:37:09 <[g2]> I think the kernels are just in flash Feb 07 22:37:10 <^herman^> shoot :) Feb 07 22:37:21 <[g2]> the tool just writes to the kern1 or kern2 partition Feb 07 22:37:44 <[g2]> I think there's an option to boot from one or the other and the recovery probably just uses one of those Feb 07 22:37:58 <[g2]> You've got a 4MB flash Feb 07 22:38:15 <[g2]> The 1st 256K is Redboot Feb 07 22:38:30 <[g2]> There's a whole (probably for some config info) Feb 07 22:38:45 <[g2]> Then kern1 is at .5MB and goes to 2MB Feb 07 22:38:55 <[g2]> kern2 goes from 2MB to 3.5MB Feb 07 22:39:11 <[g2]> there may or may not be other stuff Feb 07 22:39:32 <[g2]> I would copy out the contents of the entire flash and look at it Feb 07 22:40:43 <[g2]> dinner time Feb 07 22:42:03 <^herman^> ill take a look ;) Feb 07 22:58:21 * ^herman^ loves openslug! Feb 08 08:30:53 [g2]: still here? sorry, forgot to set me away... i'm running openslug 2.7 with 128MB at the moment, because debianslug only sees 32MB, i'm looking for the reason... Feb 08 09:34:28 can anyone help me with changing the kernel configuration? i made changes to openembedded/packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/2.6.15/defconfig , but they don't appear in /tmp/work/ixp4xx-kernel-2.6.15.2-r2.1/linux-2.6.15.2/.config Feb 08 10:37:40 joschkopf: I think it's somewhere in the .bb or .inc (or the patches). It's not in the defconfig ;) Feb 08 10:38:44 look in ixp4xx-kernel.inc, there's a lot about CMDLINE there Feb 08 10:48:28 Come to think of it, it might actually be in openembedded/conf/distro/ somewhere **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 08 10:59:58 2006
