**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Sep 18 02:59:57 2006 Sep 18 18:54:05 hi guys Sep 18 18:54:11 hi Sep 18 18:54:30 i'm trying to figure out why my nslu2 has stopped responding Sep 18 18:54:47 now i had it unslugn onto the hardrive Sep 18 18:55:24 i think someone may have screwed its ip config Sep 18 18:55:25 so Sep 18 18:56:05 if i am telneted into redboot, is there a way of watching it boot? Sep 18 18:56:15 like redirect boot msg to console? Sep 18 18:59:06 you have to have netconsole configured to watch boot over the network Sep 18 18:59:20 and you haven't, so that wont help, unfortunately Sep 18 19:03:34 hmmm Sep 18 19:03:52 i've just stuck the hardrive onto my desktop machine and have / mounted Sep 18 19:04:18 cat etc/network/interfaces Sep 18 19:06:42 hmmmm network config looks ok Sep 18 19:06:45 so.... Sep 18 19:07:42 ok the partiiton on the hardrive looks to be fine Sep 18 19:37:05 hi Sep 18 19:37:21 hi Sep 18 19:37:26 if i have a nslu2 thats got openslug on it which has been unslung to the externeal hardrive Sep 18 19:37:54 what happens if the hardrive is not there, what would the network config of the nslu2 be? Sep 18 19:38:03 or where would it get its network config? Sep 18 19:38:41 all of a sudden the nslu2 has stopped responding on the ip address I configged it with Sep 18 19:38:55 now i've took the hardrive and mounted it from my pc Sep 18 19:39:09 and the network config is still there and it doesn't look corrupted Sep 18 19:40:11 will i have to reflash? Sep 18 19:42:06 have you tried booting without hd plugged in Sep 18 19:44:20 yes Sep 18 19:44:41 but what ip address would the nslu2 get then? Sep 18 19:44:48 depends on sysconf? Sep 18 19:44:53 because the network config is on the hardrive... Sep 18 19:44:56 sysconf Sep 18 19:45:20 can i check the network config from redboot? Sep 18 19:45:43 not really, I'm unsure as to why both would break at once Sep 18 19:45:51 I would reflash, then erase sysconf and start again Sep 18 19:46:19 how can i check the sysconf from redboot? Sep 18 19:46:28 don't know --> wiki Sep 18 20:12:29 any tips on debugging crontab? Sep 18 20:12:58 add a line containing * * * * * touch /tmp/testfile Sep 18 20:12:59 cron reloads crontab fine when I edit it, but I can't see any results Sep 18 20:14:41 no testfile Sep 18 20:14:53 nothing. nothing in varlogmessages either Sep 18 20:16:46 I do get "(*system*) RELOAD (/etc/crontab)" in messages though Sep 18 20:18:26 what cron daemon are you running? Sep 18 20:19:17 /usr/sbin/cron Sep 18 20:19:24 I think Sep 18 20:19:37 doesn't exactly tell me *which* cron. cron --version ? Sep 18 20:20:04 cron -v Sep 18 20:20:56 root@Cosmo:/var/tmp# cron --version Sep 18 20:20:57 cron: invalid option -- - Sep 18 20:20:57 usage: cron [-x debugflag[,...]] Sep 18 20:20:57 root@Cosmo:/var/tmp# cron -v Sep 18 20:20:57 cron: invalid option -- v Sep 18 20:20:57 usage: cron [-x debugflag[,...]] Sep 18 20:21:46 ipkg list_installed|grep cron Sep 18 20:22:30 cron - 3.0pl1-r7 - Vixie cron. Sep 18 20:22:49 what distro? Sep 18 20:23:14 openslug 3.10 Sep 18 20:23:43 Linux version 2.6.16 (slug@nudi) Sep 18 20:25:11 installing cron Sep 18 20:25:11 shall I ipkg remove something? and install it again? Sep 18 20:26:05 hang on Sep 18 20:26:24 ok Sep 18 20:27:46 wohoo.. Sep 18 20:27:46 Starting openntpd Sep 18 20:27:46 set local clock to Mon Sep 18 20:43:49 UTC 2006 (offset 214077304.768836s) Sep 18 20:28:02 anyway, I'm getting testfile in /tmp Sep 18 20:28:18 when was openntpd broken? Sep 18 20:28:32 jelle: /etc/init.d/cron start ?? Sep 18 20:28:35 openntpd isn't broken, my clock was 7 years off ;) Sep 18 20:28:59 reminds me Sep 18 20:29:07 I need to reinstall my backup battery Sep 18 20:29:36 hehe Sep 18 20:29:53 decided to remove it as I was soldering things to the RTC Sep 18 20:30:05 yeah, I removed mine to try to replace the ram Sep 18 20:30:14 Anyone here fatten their slug? Sep 18 20:30:24 * NAiL tried Sep 18 20:30:31 I've got a brass tool to remove the DIMMs Sep 18 20:30:39 attaches to a soldering iron Sep 18 20:30:48 bashtid :-P Sep 18 20:30:57 haven't used it yet Sep 18 20:31:04 removing them manually took a fair bit of time Sep 18 20:31:07 I was just going to try piggybacking modules on top. Seems easier. Sep 18 20:31:13 waiting till I can afford/justify a devslug Sep 18 20:31:22 How much is a devslug? Sep 18 20:31:28 hehe Sep 18 20:31:32 it's just a slug Sep 18 20:31:42 just another NSLU2 which can be broken most of the time Sep 18 20:31:49 blaster8: Starting Vixie-cron. that's it. Sep 18 20:31:53 rather than the missioncriticalslug Sep 18 20:32:02 hehe, quality Sep 18 20:32:03 and a line in my messages stating STARTUP Sep 18 20:32:13 ok, check ps next time Sep 18 20:32:22 Aah, I have a pair of slugs just for that purpose. Sep 18 20:32:48 joshin: crontab -l and ls /tmp Sep 18 20:33:01 One for projects and the other to pour salt on and see what happens. Sep 18 20:33:14 I imagine that was for jelle ... Sep 18 20:33:25 lunchtime. brb Sep 18 20:33:29 yes, tab completion sucks :-P Sep 18 20:33:35 jelle: crontab -l and ls /tmp Sep 18 20:33:36 ;) Sep 18 20:33:48 :) Sep 18 20:33:58 hm. nothing there. crontab is empty for root Sep 18 20:34:32 crontab -e Sep 18 20:35:34 * NAiL likes his fwslug Sep 18 20:35:44 you have a firewallslug? Sep 18 20:36:06 no disks attached, iptables/zd1211/ntp/dhcp/dns Sep 18 20:36:13 neat Sep 18 20:36:17 still 1.5mb free Sep 18 20:36:21 openslug Sep 18 20:36:22 I must build an ADSLSlug Sep 18 20:36:26 tof Sep 18 20:36:32 someone already has an adslslug Sep 18 20:36:37 oops, ADSLug Sep 18 20:36:47 I know, I here it works well :) Sep 18 20:37:15 Yeah Sep 18 20:37:30 hmm, with slugos 4.x, I should have even more space free Sep 18 20:37:38 not so sure Sep 18 20:37:38 with the firmware and such Sep 18 20:37:47 remember the modules we have moved into userspace Sep 18 20:38:03 no, it will still be smaller, sorry Sep 18 20:38:56 right, there is my testfile. Sep 18 20:38:58 woot Sep 18 20:38:58 thanks a lot Sep 18 20:39:05 we can remove hotplug, I think Sep 18 20:39:11 I should not edit crontab manually. Sep 18 20:39:17 saves some space and much confusion Sep 18 20:39:29 another goal for SlugOS 4.x Sep 18 20:39:42 file a bug so I remember ;) Sep 18 20:39:52 well, I need to test first Sep 18 20:39:58 but udev should now replace hotplug Sep 18 20:40:25 yeah Sep 18 20:40:38 "should" is a key word, I guess Sep 18 20:40:43 no doubt Sep 18 20:40:53 /dev/mtdblock4 6528 4764 1764 73% / Sep 18 20:40:57 1.7mb free ;-) Sep 18 20:41:22 also, there is some confusion between conf/distro and packages/images Sep 18 20:41:38 confused me Sep 18 20:42:20 I should get back into looking at that actually... I'll be wanting to make a custom firmware image for the n2100 Sep 18 20:43:03 (and since the n2100 has 16mb flash, there's plenty of room for a full-featured rescue rootfs, even with web administration :-P) Sep 18 20:43:46 bye for now, gotta go Sep 18 20:44:07 cya Sep 18 20:54:04 The n2100 looks really nice. Sep 18 20:54:44 very much so Sep 18 20:54:48 I've added wifi to mine Sep 18 20:56:10 How does the processor compare to that of the slug? Sep 18 20:56:55 faster Sep 18 20:57:05 substantially Sep 18 20:57:10 it's a 600MHz CPU Sep 18 20:57:31 also, it's got 400MHz DDR ram, instead of PC133(?) SDRAM Sep 18 20:57:32 but no fancy NPEs, which is either good or bad, depending on your point of view Sep 18 20:57:38 PC133 indeed Sep 18 20:57:52 It's got two GBLan ports ;) Sep 18 20:58:05 good, then Sep 18 20:58:14 Too many toys, too few coins... Sep 18 20:58:31 don't have room for one, let alone the money :) Sep 18 20:59:37 * joshin is now in hour 5 of his slug building gcc 4.1.1 locally - currently building stage2 Sep 18 21:03:59 hi just reflashed with debianslug Sep 18 21:04:03 etch Sep 18 21:04:10 and i reset sysconf Sep 18 21:04:25 does anyone know if there is a default root passwd? Sep 18 21:04:45 ssh is on the box but i don't know what the password would be? Sep 18 21:04:46 opeNSLUg is the default in flash Sep 18 21:05:15 great thankx! Sep 18 21:05:33 np Sep 18 21:10:31 yay, the current kernel builds Sep 18 21:11:34 now how would i "unsling" debian slug onto the hardrive? Sep 18 21:11:49 wiki - look up bootstrap Sep 18 21:13:37 thank u Sep 18 21:14:01 np Sep 18 21:14:33 I was really impressed by Debian's bootstrap support recently Sep 18 21:14:40 really smooth Sep 18 21:23:09 night **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 19 02:59:57 2006
