**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 02 02:59:56 2006 Sep 02 14:34:54 hey.. i just flashed the debianslug 3.1 firmware to a device with an unknown previous state (sat in storage for a year, i forgot everything about it). how can i figure out what IP it's configured with/reset it to 192.168.1.77? Sep 02 14:35:47 google for resetsysconf Sep 02 14:36:35 that's resetting it Sep 02 14:36:52 figuring out the ip might be a very time-consuming task ;) Sep 02 14:38:55 perfect. thanks Sep 02 14:39:05 np Sep 02 14:39:17 guess i'll have to turn off my net for a minute to do that. uses 192.168.0.x ;) brb Sep 02 14:54:19 so... after that resetsysconf, i should be able to ping/login at 192.168.1.77, yes? Sep 02 14:57:57 what if i can't :( Sep 02 14:58:39 you sure? Sep 02 14:59:10 pretty sure Sep 02 14:59:35 but you can reach it in redboot? Sep 02 14:59:39 yeah Sep 02 14:59:53 do you have a disk attached? Sep 02 14:59:57 nope Sep 02 15:00:05 hmm Sep 02 15:00:06 i noticed that while debianslug is loading, it blinks orange Sep 02 15:00:13 and at the end of each orange blink it flashes red Sep 02 15:00:14 normal? Sep 02 15:00:33 if it kinda looks like it's pulsating, yes Sep 02 15:00:37 eventually it gets to a green light on power and ethernet Sep 02 15:01:33 is there a forum or other place i might look for others with this problem? Sep 02 15:01:55 hmm Sep 02 15:02:06 I'd try simply reflashing first Sep 02 15:02:23 yeah just did that Sep 02 15:02:33 and it works ^_^ Sep 02 15:02:37 hehe Sep 02 15:03:12 so i hear debianslug has 16,000 packages available? is that true? Sep 02 15:03:31 that's if you install debian on top Sep 02 15:03:50 can i fit debian on a 300mb partition? Sep 02 15:03:55 barely Sep 02 15:04:09 how good is the nslu2 at resizing ext3? Sep 02 15:04:20 not at all the last time I checked Sep 02 15:04:52 well then Sep 02 15:05:09 dabianslug has some 3500 packages IIRC Sep 02 15:05:22 s/dabianslug/debianslug/ Sep 02 15:05:23 NAiL meant: debianslug has some 3500 packages IIRC Sep 02 15:05:37 hah Sep 02 15:05:51 well, something in the debianslug wiki page mentions 16k Sep 02 15:05:57 which made me pick it over gentoo Sep 02 15:06:03 ah, yeah Sep 02 15:06:39 I'm not sure of the recommended way of installing debian on a slug anymore though Sep 02 15:06:56 it used to be debootstrapping from debianslug, but it might be better to use the d-i image Sep 02 15:07:31 I have enough work trying to keep tabs on the packages in the slugos feeds :-P Sep 02 15:08:40 well looks like d-i is out of order at the moment Sep 02 15:09:02 Important note: unfortunately, the unofficial images that include a driver for the built-in Ethernet device no longer work Sep 02 15:09:13 ah Sep 02 15:09:21 there's an open-source driver in the works though Sep 02 15:09:28 so it says Sep 02 15:09:34 i'd rather not wait ;-) Sep 02 15:09:38 hehe Sep 02 15:10:16 goetter: try the 'bootstrap from slugos' method for getting Debian installed on your HD Sep 02 15:10:58 advantage is that you will have slugos available when things fail Sep 02 15:11:08 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/Bootstrap yes? Sep 02 15:11:09 (slugos in flash, debain on HD) Sep 02 15:11:20 yes Sep 02 15:11:39 well, i just flashed the debianslug-3.10-beta.bin Sep 02 15:12:34 do you have debian installed on /dev/sda1 ? Sep 02 15:13:09 nope, i have some unknown other installed on that Sep 02 15:13:13 i think it is openslug Sep 02 15:13:21 but i wish to wipe it (it's a ~300mb partition Sep 02 15:14:54 k, then you can procede with the wiki-page you just mentioned Sep 02 15:15:10 my bad, thought you were refering to the d-i firmware Sep 02 15:19:20 my swap is also kind of small. is it possible to resize an ext3 with the debianslug firmware? Sep 02 15:19:58 did you not want to wipe the drive? Sep 02 15:20:19 i have a 150gb partition with things i'd like to have back Sep 02 15:20:24 oh silly me, this is a usb drive Sep 02 15:20:28 i'll just plug it into knoppix Sep 02 15:22:18 hehe Sep 02 18:15:07 Ok, feeds fully rebuilt. Samba upgraded. zd1211 upgraded. Couple of kernel modules upgraded. All the packages in bug #12 added. Sep 02 18:15:25 NAiL: nice work Sep 02 18:15:31 getting there ;) Sep 02 18:17:00 ,hi NAiL Sep 02 18:18:08 is there another way to upgrade my openslug to a newer version without reinstalling everything? Sep 02 18:18:22 like my openvpn, thttp, samba, everything? Sep 02 18:19:30 jelle, ipkg? Sep 02 18:20:00 Thanks NAiL ! Sep 02 18:20:01 upgrading from 2.x to 3.10 is a painful process, if it works at all Sep 02 18:20:31 I suggest backing up configs and reflashing/reinstalling... It'll hurt less. Sep 02 18:20:55 If anyone knows about any problems with the feeds, I'll look into them ;-) Sep 02 18:21:19 alright, i should have my scripts and reinstall logs somewhere, if not this is a time to update them. Sep 02 18:21:22 thanks again Sep 02 18:21:28 np Sep 02 18:21:48 NAiL, getting an error with initscripts-slugos with build 4001 Sep 02 18:22:02 build 4001? Sep 02 18:22:02 rm: cannot remove `/home/josh/slug/openslug/tmp/work/initscripts-slugos-1.0-r75.10/image/etc/rcS.d/S06alignment': No such file or directory Sep 02 18:22:08 the latest OE head? Sep 02 18:22:24 Yeah, sorry wrong term. Sep 02 18:23:55 it's committed to monotone.openembedded.org. It'll get synced with monotone.nslu2-linux.org in a while probably Sep 02 18:24:20 just fixed ;) Sep 02 18:24:27 Cool, thanks. Sep 02 18:25:20 I want to get cdrtools and cdrdao ported to OE/OpenSlug. Time to remember how to bitbake... Sep 02 18:25:44 cdrtools is already in oe Sep 02 18:26:00 oh... cdrtools-native only Sep 02 18:26:00 It is but only for native. At least the last time I looked. Sep 02 18:45:30 joshin: feel free to write a .bb for those, and I'll add them to the feed ;) Sep 02 19:25:27 eh, remind me again, where can I find what version of openslug I'm running? Sep 02 19:27:33 cat /etc/ipkg/cross.conf (or something like that) ;) Sep 02 19:32:24 hi koen, wb Sep 02 19:34:02 hey jelle Sep 02 19:34:19 :) Sep 02 19:34:26 koen: is rw around anymore? Sep 02 19:34:29 right NAiL, root@Cosmo:/home/jelle# cat /etc/ipkg/cross-feed.conf Sep 02 19:34:29 src/gz cross http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/cross/2.7-beta Sep 02 19:34:39 2.7-beta it is ;) Sep 02 19:34:58 seems I should upgrade... so I will Sep 02 19:35:03 NAiL: he isn't Sep 02 19:35:10 mmkay Sep 02 19:35:25 just wondering.. he's the maintainer of lcdproc Sep 02 19:35:54 he's not maintaining anything in OE anymore Sep 02 19:36:21 Should I remove the MAINTAINER field in any packages he used to maintain? ;) Sep 02 19:36:53 I have no opinion on that Sep 02 19:39:14 DEPENDS = "${@(find('curses') != -1) and 'ncurses' or ''}" <-- will this work to select the correct curses? Sep 02 19:40:24 we only have ncurses in OE AFAICT Sep 02 19:40:45 makes it a bit simpler ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Sep 03 02:59:57 2006
