**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Oct 07 02:59:57 2009
Oct 07 06:48:32 <Danicasti> Buongiorno!
Oct 07 09:10:50 <ninch> Hello! I just built Fonera 2.0n image. I would like to modify it to add PHP webserving functionality. There was one problem though: image.mk contains reference to /opt/buildroot-gcc342/bin/mksquashfs_lzma-3.2 which is not in my svn directory. Neither is this a standard part of Ubuntu 9.04.
Oct 07 09:12:30 <ninch> I did "apt-get install squash*
Oct 07 09:12:31 <ninch> " and used  Ubuntu's mksquashfs, which is version 3.3.
Oct 07 09:13:00 <ninch> Current image.mk is available at http://svn.fonosfera.org/fon-ng/trunk/openwrt/include/image.mk
Oct 07 09:14:12 <ninch> I changed that line in image.mk with: mksquashfs $(TARGET_DIR) $(KDIR)/root.squashfs -lzma -nopad -noappend -root-owned $(SQUASHFS_OPTS)
Oct 07 09:14:37 <iurgi____> hmmm
Oct 07 09:14:51 <iurgi____> I don't think you need to install it with ubuntu
Oct 07 09:14:52 <ninch> I got the openwrt-fonera2n-squashfs.img file, with 5.9MB size.
Oct 07 09:14:58 <iurgi____> but it is part of the buildroot
Oct 07 09:15:11 <iurgi____> well, that looks pretty much like the firmware
Oct 07 09:15:43 <ninch> Yes, but 3.0 version is included in trunk/openwrt/staging_dir/host/bin
Oct 07 09:16:15 <iurgi____> hmmm
Oct 07 09:16:25 <iurgi____> I think other users had problems when compiling with ubuntu
Oct 07 09:16:26 <ninch> mksquashfs-lzma -version shows 3.0
Oct 07 09:16:42 <Decodecoding> better use debian
Oct 07 09:17:03 <iurgi____> I'm not sure if this might be the cause
Oct 07 09:17:09 <iurgi____> but... this 5,9MB looks ok
Oct 07 09:17:16 <iurgi____> why do you think it's wrong?
Oct 07 09:17:30 <ninch>  /trunk/openwrt/staging_dir/host/mksquashfs-lzma -version shows 3.0
Oct 07 09:18:14 <ninch> Well, it is wrong, because Googling for "mksquashfs_lzma-3.2" shows only image.mk file on Fonosfera.
Oct 07 09:21:09 <ninch> I did some development on Fon 2.0g. But I'm a bit hesitant to flash Fonera 2.0n with my modified build since it might not boot.
Oct 07 09:21:22 <ninch> 2.0g has Failsafe mode - http://wiki.fon.com/wiki/Failsafe_Mode
Oct 07 09:21:50 <ninch> What is the equivalent of Failsafe mode on 2.0n?
Oct 07 09:22:21 <iurgi____> ninch: it is easy to restore a fonera 2.0n
Oct 07 09:22:27 <iurgi____> yes, there is a failsafe mode
Oct 07 09:22:36 <iurgi____> if you plug the fonera 2.0n with the reset button pressed
Oct 07 09:22:51 <iurgi____> it will bring a tftp server up on IP 192.168.1.6
Oct 07 09:23:06 <iurgi____> you can then upload a specific formatted file to it
Oct 07 09:23:23 <iurgi____> I will check if this file is already released, otherwise I will do it in a minute
Oct 07 09:23:26 <iurgi____> let me check
Oct 07 09:37:49 <iurgi> seems like it's not out there yet
Oct 07 09:37:56 <iurgi> I will ask the wiki maintainer to add it
Oct 07 09:38:03 <iurgi> I will blog post about it now
Oct 07 09:51:48 <iurgi> ninch2: if yuo want to try to flash your fonera with tyour image
Oct 07 09:51:57 <iurgi> I can send you the recovery image later if it fails
Oct 07 09:52:48 <ninch2> But will the 2.0n start if I flash with a corrupted kernel?
Oct 07 09:53:39 <ninch2> Yes, please send me the recovery image.
Oct 07 09:56:28 <ninch2> My email is zencoslav@gmail.com ;-)
Oct 07 09:56:58 <iosonoio> hello!!
Oct 07 09:57:22 <ninch2> Hi!
Oct 07 10:00:09 <iurgi> ninch2: I want to try it first
Oct 07 10:00:17 <iurgi> the recovery mode does not require a kernel
Oct 07 10:00:23 <iurgi> it's kind of like grub
Oct 07 10:00:25 <iurgi> a bootloader
Oct 07 10:00:34 <iurgi> that lets you add a new clean kernel ;)
Oct 07 10:02:42 <ninch2> :-D
Oct 07 11:58:20 <Decodecoding> Hi. Will the WiFi WAN mode be included again in future releases?
Oct 07 12:01:25 <blogic> Decodecoding: it was never included in any release
Oct 07 12:01:31 <blogic> it is in dev mode for 20g
Oct 07 12:01:37 <blogic> 20n does not have this feature yet
Oct 07 12:01:59 <Decodecoding> ok, so it will be kept for 2.0g in dev mode?
Oct 07 12:02:28 <blogic> why shoiuld we remove it ?
Oct 07 12:02:30 <Decodecoding> guess 2.0n different hardware, different soft needed...
Oct 07 12:03:18 <Decodecoding> No, it's ok, just to know. many people wanting that feature and they should be warned 2.0n does not feature that yet
Oct 07 12:04:23 <blogic> neither does 20g
Oct 07 12:04:34 <blogic> 20g does not have the feature and we never advertised it
Oct 07 12:04:45 <blogic> 20g has a dev mode feature that is experimental
Oct 07 12:04:49 <blogic> we never said anything else
Oct 07 12:04:54 <Decodecoding> Ok, I see your point
Oct 07 12:06:01 <Decodecoding> May I send to you a couple crontab lines and you tellme if they're to crappy in order to solve the issue I told you by email?
Oct 07 12:06:44 <blogic> sure
Oct 07 12:06:50 <Decodecoding> Uff, my spelling...
Oct 07 12:07:00 <Decodecoding> that's crappy
Oct 07 12:07:06 <Decodecoding> ok, thxs
Oct 07 13:26:18 <Decodecoding> Iurgi, do you remember the problem I reported time ago about problems with a Linksys Router?
Oct 07 13:26:25 <Decodecoding> http://foros.fon.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=5640&p=25619#p25619
Oct 07 13:43:48 <iurgi> hmmm
Oct 07 13:44:32 <Decodecoding> I was surprised to see the same symptoms as I did
Oct 07 13:45:20 <iurgi> ah yes
Oct 07 13:46:11 <Decodecoding> Could it be a matter of "too many routers" in between?
Oct 07 13:46:36 <iurgi> nope
Oct 07 13:46:43 <Decodecoding> I mean DSL router--->Wired router---> fonera router
Oct 07 13:46:47 <iurgi> it's either 1) wrong network settings
Oct 07 13:46:53 <iurgi> 2) dhcp uncompatibility
Oct 07 13:48:11 <Decodecoding> I remember fonera would acquire all correct values on the panel but for some reason, powed led remained orange...
Oct 07 13:49:04 <Decodecoding> anyway, it is not a very common scenario
