**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jul 10 02:59:56 2006 Jul 10 09:14:28 EvilDevil saw your pwc msg will check it Jul 10 09:21:48 EvilDevil, the pwc on the feed is oooold (19 jan 2006) Jul 10 09:21:58 since then the kernel has been upgraded Jul 10 09:22:32 unfortunately also at some point pwc was marked as broken and did not get recompiled, but the old ipk for the old kernel is still there Jul 10 09:22:51 NAiL will get newer versions on the feed in the near future. Jul 10 09:23:15 For now you can grab a copy from 84.87.135.248/nslu2 Jul 10 13:52:16 hi Jul 10 13:55:41 hi pixie__ Jul 10 14:07:07 any gotchas to running from flash with no external storage i should worry about? Jul 10 14:22:44 no external flash either? then just install only one or two small packages, otherwise you'll exhaust the flash Jul 10 14:28:55 ive got 2.5MB free with all the packages i want installed :) Jul 10 14:29:08 its just being a 1 port console server so ive removed all the fs modules etc Jul 10 14:29:17 just wondering if its likely to die horribly without swap Jul 10 14:29:50 kernel-module-pl2303 kernel-module-usbserial microcom Jul 10 14:29:52 seems ok so far Jul 10 14:34:26 i think you'll be ok Jul 10 14:41:07 yeah i think it will be ok Jul 10 14:41:13 just got to sort poweron now Jul 10 14:44:19 like autopoweron ? there is a good wiki page on that Jul 10 14:53:29 yeah i got a usb cable for method 5 today just need to do a few tests as it will be running off the box its the console for so isnt ideal Jul 10 14:58:59 autopoweron & usb ??? Jul 10 14:59:18 i'm not really sure if that is a reliable/supported method Jul 10 14:59:35 i had this chip added to my slug (forgot the type but it is on the wiki) Jul 10 15:00:11 (actually the sun is reaching my table so my laptopscreen isn't readable any more. Jul 10 15:00:23 maybe back after dinner on another place or system Jul 10 15:01:31 eFfeM-away: the slug boots if you apply +5v externally to the usb bus Jul 10 15:01:51 cya eFfeM Jul 10 15:59:33 koen, saw your msg just before I lost connection, I'm not really sure if the +5 V usb is a safe way to boot Jul 10 15:59:37 electrically speaking Jul 10 15:59:46 I'm not sure either Jul 10 15:59:53 but people say it works Jul 10 16:00:11 ive got a chip on order for the proper method Jul 10 16:00:18 appears to work ok with this usb cable though Jul 10 16:00:34 btw if I want to make a native package (php) and I want to be sure that something is installed before the package build starts, is that mentioned in DEPENDS? Jul 10 16:00:37 e.g. Jul 10 16:00:42 DEPENDS = "mysql zlib-dev libxml2-dev libxml2-utils file-native" Jul 10 16:01:11 yes Jul 10 16:01:25 fwiw: php should be cross-buildable as well Jul 10 16:01:32 ok, I was not sure if that only would generate package dependencies Jul 10 16:01:42 well here the cross-build fails Jul 10 16:02:17 I think apache is needed and that is in the native build list too Jul 10 16:06:18 ah, right Jul 10 16:06:29 I try to avoid apache on embedded devices Jul 10 16:06:38 thttpd/boa/cherokee are a better fit Jul 10 16:06:55 yeah, might better try that, does that blend in with php properly ? Jul 10 16:07:15 iirc those use fastcgi, which just runs the php-cli app Jul 10 16:07:24 no need for modules and other weird apache stuff :) Jul 10 16:07:46 ah, ok Jul 10 16:07:53 * eFfeM is not a http expert Jul 10 16:07:59 btw, the busybox httpd applet in 1.2.0 supports php as well :) Jul 10 16:08:20 in exchange for 8k of diskspace Jul 10 16:08:28 (+ php-cli) Jul 10 16:11:10 btw trying to get audio running, but I need to manually insmod all modules, is there a way to do this in the bb ? Jul 10 18:17:04 is there some way (apart from downloading the full sources for slugos 3.10) to build pwc for kernel 2.6.16 and gcc3.4 using the Master Makefile? Jul 10 18:23:52 hello, is it me or is my "disk1" light not showing anything automatically anymore with slugos 3.10? Jul 10 18:27:56 the leds stuff got overhauled Jul 10 18:32:10 hm... Jul 10 18:32:57 oh well. I used this to see if it recognized my disk properly (seemed to skip the disk 3 out of 5 times), but now I'll just have to do it differently. Jul 10 18:33:26 can I put some startup code somewhere to turn the light on again? where should I put it? just to see if it loaded properly from disk or not Jul 10 18:36:19 jelle, take a look at the "leds" command Jul 10 18:42:27 thanks EvilDevil Jul 10 18:42:45 now I say "leds disk-2 on" and the led for disk 1 will turn on... funny Jul 10 18:42:53 leds disk-1 on does nothing Jul 10 18:48:57 eh. should I mess with the /etc/init.d scripts to turn the light on, or is there a better place? Jul 10 18:51:45 jelle.. i would simply put it in /initrd/linuxrc (append "& leds disk-2 on" to the line which starts with UUID=...) but i'm not sure if the leds command on the initrd supports the same commands as the other one Jul 10 18:53:14 i meant && /sbin/leds Jul 10 19:01:59 right. thanks, I'll try that Jul 10 19:03:30 would be a nice-to-have in the standard-firmware too Jul 10 19:07:57 I'm such a linux nono... /initrd is read only, any more tips, or should I go and find a newbe linux manual? Jul 10 19:08:30 mount /initrd -o remount,rw Jul 10 19:08:39 that usually work Jul 10 19:08:40 s Jul 10 19:11:15 or try to boot without disk and modify /linuxrc Jul 10 19:13:14 eh, I'd like the disk led only to be on when I boot from disk. I have the feeling I shouldn'e be in /linuxrc then, right? Jul 10 20:24:33 got it. i changed the zleds script in init.d Jul 10 20:25:08 works like a charm. Jul 10 20:34:01 looks like the wiki on the leds command needs a little update.... Jul 10 21:16:50 jelle, i guess, rule #3 will apply now: "3. Those who ask the questions, update the wiki when they get the answers." **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jul 11 02:59:57 2006
