**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Feb 15 23:59:56 2005 Feb 16 05:48:23 'ello Feb 16 05:48:53 I was working on unslinging a unit a week ago and asked a couple questions here Feb 16 05:49:07 I returned that one and got a second unit, and had no problems with it Feb 16 05:49:18 thanks for the help previously Feb 16 10:05:12 not much chatter? or am I not using this IRC client correctly Feb 16 10:05:26 not a lot of activity here Feb 16 10:05:50 only location for someone to learn about this channel right now is via the other channel Feb 16 10:05:56 that's about to change... :) Feb 16 10:53:15 Hello all, I'm not sure what happened but last night I was doing a ipkg upgrade and it was downloading openssh. all of a sudden it did something and then I couldn't access the slug. I went into the Management pages and I'm getting "Error: Fail to get samba information." I have done the HowTo.ResetSysConf twice and I am still getting the samba error. Any Ideas on what I can do to fix this? Feb 16 10:57:35 looking Feb 16 11:21:44 JeffreyS, does the ip address get reset to 192.168.1.77? Feb 16 11:22:46 I have always used that address, but i did notice the server name changed. Feb 16 11:23:27 so you got into Redboot, did the "fis erase -f ....." and then reset? Feb 16 11:23:40 yes Feb 16 11:24:22 when you go into the web interface, does anything show? Feb 16 11:24:39 firmware information specifically Feb 16 11:25:39 ya, it seams ok, the firmware says V-uNSLUng-standard-3.18-beta Feb 16 11:26:07 When I go to the admin pages, after I login I get the samba error Feb 16 11:26:27 I wonder if reflashing the firmware after reset the sysconf would correct the problem Feb 16 11:26:59 I can try that Feb 16 11:27:46 I am also trying to get some extra help as well... so stay patient... ") Feb 16 11:28:18 np, thanks a lot for the help Feb 16 11:44:33 Bummer, reflashing didn't work, still getting samba error Feb 16 11:45:10 ok, now try the reset sysconf *after* the reflash Feb 16 11:46:00 ok Feb 16 11:53:13 Nope, didn't work, still getting samba error. Feb 16 11:53:28 oh goody Feb 16 11:53:52 sounds like fun... and whatever the resolution, we'll need to update wiki after you get this working Feb 16 11:54:13 when you reflashed, did you unsling your drive? Feb 16 11:54:40 no Feb 16 11:55:08 from what I understand, it's usually a good idea to do so Feb 16 11:55:31 ok, I'll try that Feb 16 12:02:48 Nope, that didn't fix the error Feb 16 12:04:24 hi Feb 16 12:04:51 ok... now we're having fun... Feb 16 12:05:01 according to the expirience in the german user group, it might be successful to do the reflash procedure Feb 16 12:05:10 3 or 4 times Feb 16 12:05:20 eeewwww Feb 16 12:05:54 did know why, but the expirience is, that is a possibility to fix the "failed to get samba information" error Feb 16 12:07:33 do I need to do the ResetSysConf after each reflash? Feb 16 12:07:51 jsut a moment, must read.. Feb 16 12:07:56 np Feb 16 12:09:54 if I understand the slug setup correctly (dubious), I wouldn't think so Feb 16 12:11:34 the expirience says "yes" - flash - reset Syscnf - flash... there are positiv result from three users with the same problem Feb 16 12:12:04 so much for my *dubious* understanding... :) Feb 16 12:12:56 understand you, i didn't understand that a moretimes overflash make any sense Feb 16 12:13:06 sorry, but english is not my native :-( Feb 16 12:13:43 ok, I'll give that a try, 1 down, 3 to go :) Feb 16 12:13:58 first inning ;-) Feb 16 12:14:42 caplink811, you're quite understandable... my understanding of slug is less so Feb 16 12:14:53 :-) Feb 16 12:16:25 but you're much more/longer involved, i'm only a user, with a little 2nd level support expirience Feb 16 12:17:20 <- *user* as well... just the doco guy Feb 16 12:18:00 it's ever good, to have a excellent doco by hand.. Feb 16 12:18:17 or just to know someone that have ;-) Feb 16 12:19:14 JefferyS: 3 down 1 to go or touch down time? Feb 16 12:20:26 I'm a bit slow, on 2nd reflash right now. Feb 16 12:20:58 it would be silly if it works.. Feb 16 12:54:25 brick 0 slug 1, woot woot it works, no samba errors Feb 16 12:54:47 curious, but nice :-) Feb 16 12:54:50 it's official... that's silly Feb 16 12:54:53 you guys are the best, thanks a lot Feb 16 12:54:58 :-) Feb 16 12:55:07 props to caplink Feb 16 12:55:12 just our 2 cents Feb 16 12:55:38 ~emulate rwh.. oh, jbot is not here Feb 16 12:55:43 <- updating wiki Feb 16 12:56:16 JefferyS: also it might be silly, would you update the wiki ? Feb 16 12:56:22 I did one thing differently on the 4 th flash, which I'm not sure made a difference. As soon as it was done flashing I caught redboot and reset Sys conf before letting it boot up. Feb 16 12:56:50 so write it just so down, might be work for other guys also Feb 16 12:57:36 I'll do that, thanks for all your help, I was about to get out the red paint, :) Feb 16 12:58:39 JeffreyS, I've got the wiki page open atm... Feb 16 12:59:56 JefferyS: cause english is not my nativ, "get out the red paint"??? Indians? colour of war?? Feb 16 13:00:09 red paint to paint the "brick" red Feb 16 13:01:37 FailSambaInformation wiki page updated... Feb 16 13:02:12 aha Feb 16 13:03:48 Looks great to me! Feb 16 13:05:53 wow, that wore me out, time for a nap, hehe Feb 16 13:06:06 ByronT: nice transcrition "Anecdotal evidence" :-) Feb 16 13:06:34 s/transcrition/transciption Feb 16 13:06:41 thankee :D Feb 16 13:10:02 I managed to expand the conf partition on my hard disk using PartitionMajic 8.0 on a pc. It seams to be working ok, well untill last night when the slug took a nose dive. Feb 16 13:11:44 I thought I would let it run a couple weeks before I shared that info on the wiki, just to make sure. Feb 16 13:12:21 think, it's a good behaviour.. Feb 16 13:14:09 Thanks again guys, cya Feb 16 13:14:20 gnite Feb 16 13:14:22 later JeffreyS Feb 16 13:14:46 another happy customer... :) Feb 16 13:15:00 :-), fully satisfied Feb 16 13:16:06 now it's time, to listen to the boss (live in barcelona), and then go to bed... nite all Feb 16 13:16:14 thanks for help **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Feb 16 23:59:56 2005
