Jul 10 00:56:02 <NSLU2-IRC> Hi :)
Jul 10 00:56:18 <NSLU2-IRC> may be someone can help me :s
Jul 10 00:56:47 <NSLU2-IRC> i have NSLU2 with last unslug firmware
Jul 10 00:57:59 <NSLU2-IRC> i install proftpd (and try vsftpd)
Jul 10 00:58:24 <NSLU2-IRC> and i have the same problem :s
Jul 10 00:59:46 <NSLU2-IRC> when download a file (ex a avi 650Mo), after 50-60 sec downrate is very slow and stop :s
Jul 10 01:00:00 <NSLU2-IRC> Could you help me ?
Jul 10 01:02:09 <caplink811_log> may be..
Jul 10 01:02:45 <caplink811_log> 1st your nslu is connected via a switch or a hub, 100mbit or 10mbit?
Jul 10 01:02:59 <caplink811_log> 2nd have you upnp disabled?
Jul 10 01:03:36 <NSLU2-IRC> NSLU2 connected to WRG54T router
Jul 10 01:04:43 <NSLU2-IRC> and a upnp is disabled
Jul 10 01:05:21 <caplink811_log> so it may be helpful to disable upnp at the wrt54 too
Jul 10 01:06:25 <caplink811_log> does this also happens, if you copy these files via smb?
Jul 10 01:06:42 <NSLU2-IRC> i have same problem :s too :s
Jul 10 01:07:07 <NSLU2-IRC> i lost connection :s
Jul 10 01:08:47 <caplink811_log> which firmware you're running?
Jul 10 01:09:05 <NSLU2-IRC> 5.5
Jul 10 01:09:27 <NSLU2-IRC> from nslu2-linux.org :s
Jul 10 01:13:39 <caplink811_log> 1st try, disable upnp at the wrt54g, if this doesn't help, then try a direct connection pc<->nslu with a crossover cable
Jul 10 01:14:34 <NSLU2-IRC> ok upnp at the wrt54g is disable and nslu2 too
Jul 10 01:15:00 <caplink811_log> http://www.homenethelp.com/web/explain/about-ethernet-crossover.asp
Jul 10 01:17:48 <NSLU2-IRC> ok :) i have somewhere a crossover cable
Jul 10 01:18:59 <NSLU2-IRC> you think that it is my wrt54g or nslu2 have a hardware problem ? :s
Jul 10 01:20:53 <caplink811_log> imho, cause myself owned y wrt54g too, this device have sometimes problems with large file transfers
Jul 10 01:21:53 <caplink811_log> which may be specific to wan/lan interface, but on lan/lan transfer, dunno
Jul 10 01:23:28 <NSLU2-IRC> my wrt54 have Firmware Version : v4.00.7 may be another firmware resolve this problem ? ? ?
Jul 10 01:25:20 <caplink811_log> well, give the crossover cable a try, to exclude problems with the router/switch
Jul 10 01:27:27 <NSLU2-IRC> a question ? must put off and after on Wrt54 when i modified upnp option in wrt54 and NSLU
Jul 10 01:28:11 <NSLU2-IRC> because i disable upnp but not reboot wrt54 after ...
Jul 10 01:28:31 <caplink811_log> with a reboot you be on a save side..
Jul 10 01:30:30 <NSLU2-IRC> thank you :) i try to reboot and after with a crossover cable :s and i will be back on irc
Jul 10 01:30:44 <NSLU2-IRC> thanks you for your help
Jul 10 01:34:43 <caplink811_log> np
Jul 10 01:48:31 <MrLebowski> hi all.  would anyone out there be kind enought to give me a hand with changing the rootfs with openslug?
Jul 10 01:49:23 <MrLebowski> i'm trying to get my rootfs to be a 32 meg usb key
Jul 10 01:50:06 <MrLebowski> but when i check dmesg i see " root=/dev/mtdblock4" passed to the kernel
Jul 10 01:50:52 <MrLebowski> i'm not sure how to change this or if i've missed something
Jul 10 02:18:46 <NSLU2-IRC> Hi,
Jul 10 02:19:44 <NSLU2-IRC> i have a problem with my wrt54g and my NSLU2
Jul 10 02:20:39 <NSLU2-IRC> after trying with a crossover cable my ftp server on NSLU2 <--> PC works
Jul 10 02:21:52 <NSLU2-IRC> but when NSLU is conncted on my WRT54g after 30s download is very slow and stop :s
Jul 10 02:22:28 <NSLU2-IRC> upnp is disable on my nslu2 and wrt54g :s
Jul 10 02:22:36 <NSLU2-IRC> Can you help me ? :s
Jul 10 02:26:50 <MrLebowski> are you running linksys firmware on your wrt54g?
Jul 10 05:01:52 <caplink811_log> MrLebowski,  an usb mem stick must have at least 256MByte
Jul 10 05:15:12 <caplink811_log> MrLebowski,  sorry, misread your post, if you're using, there should be no size limitation
Jul 10 07:36:23 <MrLebowski> caplink811_log: so a 32meg usb memory stick should work as a rootfs in openslug?
Jul 10 07:37:12 <MrLebowski> there is a rootfs on the usb stick with plenty of space available
Jul 10 13:14:57 <vertigo> can someone tell me how to manually mount rootfs?  i've tried everything from reflashing to different versions of the firmware and everything.  i follow the instructions to a T.  i've used multiple usb external drives.  Every time I boot it mounts rootfs to flash and not the USB drive.  I see the USB drive listed when i do "df" though
Jul 10 13:16:30 <ByronT> it won't mount rootfs off of a external drive unless their is a rootfs on the external drive to mount to
Jul 10 13:16:41 <ByronT> s/their/there
Jul 10 13:17:06 <vertigo> can you explain?  i've let the web interface format the drive.
Jul 10 13:17:23 <vertigo> then i unsling'd it.  so i'm not sure what else i can do to prepare the drive
Jul 10 13:17:37 <ByronT> web interface only preps the drive for sharing
Jul 10 13:17:44 <ByronT> and unsling is the key
Jul 10 13:18:02 <ByronT> the drive HAS to be unslung when it is in a rw state
Jul 10 13:18:33 <ByronT> if you try to unsling it and it's ro, then what you state is happening is the likely result
Jul 10 13:18:41 <vertigo> hmmm....so i should reformat the drive on the web interface...
Jul 10 13:18:45 <ByronT> no
Jul 10 13:19:05 <ByronT> boot the nslu without any drive attached
Jul 10 13:19:08 <ByronT> telnet it
Jul 10 13:19:13 <vertigo> k
Jul 10 13:19:20 <ByronT> then plug the drive in
Jul 10 13:19:29 <ByronT> check the web interface to see if it's recognized
Jul 10 13:19:48 <vertigo> i follow you
Jul 10 13:20:00 <ByronT> check mount and df to make sure that it's recognized and the /dev/sda (or sdb) shows "(rw)"
Jul 10 13:20:12 <ByronT> you might have to check a few times
Jul 10 13:20:12 <vertigo> ok.  trying that now.  thanks
Jul 10 13:20:33 <ByronT> once it shows as (rw) then do the /sbin/unsling disk1 (or disk2)
Jul 10 13:20:38 <ByronT> let it complete
Jul 10 13:20:53 <ByronT> once the prompt is back, type "sync" and then "reboot"
Jul 10 13:21:04 <ByronT> *leaving* the drive attached.
Jul 10 13:21:06 <vertigo> i have the firmware at 3.x now, but i've tried them all.  if necessary, i'll have to reflash to 4.x.  i could never get 5.x to work
Jul 10 13:21:13 <vertigo> ok, i will do that right now
Jul 10 13:22:37 <MrLebowski> i'm having the same problem with a 32 meg usb key but using openslug
Jul 10 13:22:51 <ByronT> btw, 3.x NEVER had rootfs on external
Jul 10 13:23:06 <vertigo> ByronT:  so i definately have to flash?
Jul 10 13:23:24 <ByronT> well, 3.x never had rootfs on external drive
Jul 10 13:24:06 <ByronT> 4.x did but it also has some problems with upgrading / maintenance mode
Jul 10 13:24:36 <ByronT> so 5.x is the first flash that has rootfs on ext. drive and is reasonably bug free
Jul 10 13:24:48 <MrLebowski> i have a rootfs on the key, just don't know how to change the rootfs.  any help would be appreciated
Jul 10 13:25:49 <ByronT> Openslug, MrLebowski?
Jul 10 13:26:05 <MrLebowski> ByronT: yes
Jul 10 13:26:21 <vertigo> i'm not sure how you'd install programs on the drive, if rootfs wasn't mounted.  would you always have to =/prefix it?
Jul 10 13:26:22 <ByronT> that's a bit more technical than for this channel... try #openslug
Jul 10 13:26:53 <MrLebowski> ah, ok.  thanks
Jul 10 13:26:57 <ByronT> vertigo, with unslung, ipkg install foo has alwasy been the way to install stuff...
Jul 10 13:27:15 <ByronT> and with unslung everything got installed under /opt
Jul 10 13:27:38 <ByronT> which with 4.x is mounted on /dev/sda
Jul 10 13:27:53 <vertigo> ok, well thanks for your help so far.. i'll try this again from 4.x.  when i installed 5.x, the drive wouldn't even be recognized when i had it plugged in.
Jul 10 13:28:41 <ByronT> vertigo, have you considered the possibility that the hd itself has problems?
Jul 10 13:29:00 <vertigo> meaning, the disk1 light wouldn't light when i had the drive plugged in at boot.  but if you're saying that rootfs is mounted in 4.x and that it's just upgrade problems...i'll try 4.x again. 
Jul 10 13:29:10 <vertigo> i've tried 3 different hdds, so i'm not thinking it's that
Jul 10 13:29:34 <vertigo> and i really want this to work, because i think this project is great.
Jul 10 13:29:37 <ByronT> there are enclosure chipsets that are know to have issues, as well
Jul 10 13:29:51 <vertigo> so i've spent about 4 nights on this and i'm still stuck.
Jul 10 13:30:17 <ByronT> another person to kick
Jul 10 13:30:20 <vertigo> lol
Jul 10 13:30:37 <NSLU2-IRC> :p
Jul 10 13:30:39 <NSLU2-IRC> Bring it on!
Jul 10 13:30:42 <vertigo> haha
Jul 10 13:31:24 <ByronT> should I or shouldn't I
Jul 10 13:31:27 <ByronT> ;)
Jul 10 13:31:35 <vertigo> loading up
Jul 10 13:31:49 <vertigo> <doink>
Jul 10 13:32:13 <NSLU2-IRC> Besides, you should all be ignoring me :p
Jul 10 13:37:48 <vertigo> flashing to 4.x, wheeeee!
Jul 10 13:43:18 <ByronT> how are you flashing?
Jul 10 13:43:48 <ByronT> with web interface, combination of redboot and sercomm, combo of redboot and upslug?
Jul 10 13:44:51 <vertigo> i flashed with the webinterface.
Jul 10 13:45:03 <ByronT> k
Jul 10 13:45:04 <vertigo> redboot acts funny with me.. i can get into redboot, but it won't let me type
Jul 10 13:45:18 <vertigo> i tried from different boxes, linux, windows....same result
Jul 10 13:45:27 <vertigo> (hope i don't need that) ;)
Jul 10 13:45:51 <vertigo> i just flashed it..so i'm testing mounting the drive in the web interface
Jul 10 13:46:21 <ByronT> you mean you booted without anything attached
Jul 10 13:46:31 <ByronT> have you telnetted in *first*?
Jul 10 13:46:36 <ByronT> without the drive attached?
Jul 10 13:46:56 <ByronT> if you attach drive, then telnet it, then you're screwed
Jul 10 13:47:31 <vertigo> i'm telnetting in first, then mounting..
Jul 10 13:47:49 <ByronT> what do you mean by "mounting"
Jul 10 13:47:53 <vertigo> starting to get the hang of it, like i said, this has been my passion now for the last 4 nights..alarms go off in my head.
Jul 10 13:47:58 <ByronT> the order is quite simple
Jul 10 13:47:59 <vertigo> mounting as in plugging in the drive
Jul 10 13:48:03 <ByronT> ok
Jul 10 13:48:16 <ByronT> telnet it, root / uNSLUng
Jul 10 13:48:24 <vertigo> right.  i'll be there in 1 min.
Jul 10 13:48:29 <vertigo> drive is booting now
Jul 10 13:48:34 <ByronT> go to web browser, make sure that there is no hd listed
Jul 10 13:48:41 <ByronT> plug in drive
Jul 10 13:48:51 <ByronT> refresh to watch it get mounted
Jul 10 13:49:10 <ByronT> go back to telnet session, check mount and df to make sure that it is mounted and (rw)
Jul 10 13:49:20 <ByronT> if so then /sbin/unsling disk#
Jul 10 13:49:27 <vertigo> beep!
Jul 10 13:49:47 <vertigo> no drive mounted in web interface.
Jul 10 13:49:52 <vertigo> telnetting
Jul 10 13:50:16 <ByronT> in the web interface, what firmware does it state?
Jul 10 13:50:20 <vertigo> checking
Jul 10 13:50:37 <vertigo> V2.3R25-uNSLUng-4.20-beta
Jul 10 13:50:41 <ByronT> k
Jul 10 13:50:51 <ByronT> btw, what port are you plugging drive into?
Jul 10 13:50:54 <vertigo> disk 1
Jul 10 13:51:00 <ByronT> k
Jul 10 13:51:02 <vertigo> so i'm plugging in the disk now
Jul 10 13:51:25 <ByronT> (known bug in R29 / unslung 5.5 web interface shows 0% for disk 2)
Jul 10 13:51:59 <vertigo> gotcha
Jul 10 13:52:13 <vertigo> Disk 1: Ready, 18593MB (100% Free) 
Jul 10 13:52:23 <vertigo> i haven't unslung it
Jul 10 13:52:36 <vertigo> should i check df
Jul 10 13:53:18 <vertigo> '/dev/sda1 on /share/hdd/data type ext3 (rw)
Jul 10 13:53:24 <ByronT> k
Jul 10 13:53:32 <ByronT> what about /dev/sda2?
Jul 10 13:53:38 <vertigo> '/dev/sda2 on /share/hdd/conf type ext3 (rw,sync)
Jul 10 13:53:58 <vertigo> rootfs                    6528      5296      1232  81% /
Jul 10 13:54:05 <vertigo> obviously, because i haven't unslung
Jul 10 13:54:19 <ByronT> if that rootfs ever gets > 81%, you've screwed up somewhere
Jul 10 13:54:25 <vertigo> ok.
Jul 10 13:54:33 <vertigo> so now i can /sbin/unsling disk1?
Jul 10 13:54:36 <ByronT> (that particular rootfs, that is)
Jul 10 13:54:38 <ByronT> yes
Jul 10 13:54:40 <vertigo> ok, doing that now
Jul 10 13:54:53 <ByronT> ./sbin/unsling disk1
Jul 10 13:55:13 <vertigo> done
Jul 10 13:55:19 <vertigo> it did some copying
Jul 10 13:55:24 <ByronT> that fast?
Jul 10 13:55:29 <ByronT> that seems short
Jul 10 13:55:32 <ByronT> type sync
Jul 10 13:55:46 <vertigo> ok, done..got another prompt
Jul 10 13:55:50 <ByronT> reboot
Jul 10 13:55:53 <vertigo> doing it now
Jul 10 13:56:12 <vertigo> the disk is still plugged in
Jul 10 13:56:13 <vertigo> is that ok?
Jul 10 13:56:18 <ByronT> it has to be
Jul 10 13:56:19 <vertigo> k
Jul 10 13:56:47 <vertigo> i'm going to be so happy when this thing works.  
Jul 10 13:56:49 <ByronT> with 4.x and greater, if you unsling to a drive, then you *MUST* keep that drive plugged in through reboots
Jul 10 13:57:20 <vertigo> i see.  i can add another usb drive to disk2 right?
Jul 10 13:57:24 <vertigo> or is that only with 5.x
Jul 10 13:57:41 <vertigo> rebooted
Jul 10 13:57:41 <ByronT> you can have 2 mass storage devices with the NSLU2
Jul 10 13:57:52 <vertigo> telnetting back in
Jul 10 13:57:53 <ByronT> you've heard the strangled beep?
Jul 10 13:58:02 <vertigo> i have the stereo blasting ;)
Jul 10 13:58:07 <vertigo> helps me relax
Jul 10 13:58:08 <vertigo> lol
Jul 10 13:58:15 <vertigo> but the lights are all lit up
Jul 10 13:58:42 <vertigo> Disk 1: Ready, 18593MB (100% Free) 
Jul 10 13:59:56 <vertigo> strange, it picked up an old password
Jul 10 14:00:24 <ByronT> we never change the root password
Jul 10 14:00:27 <vertigo> i changed the internal password on an old attempt and i had to log in with that one.
Jul 10 14:00:39 <ByronT> we only change the root password when booting with no drive attached
Jul 10 14:00:51 <vertigo> i changed it manually on an old attempt
Jul 10 14:00:59 <vertigo> with the steps in the howto
Jul 10 14:01:13 <vertigo> so when i booted with the drive in, i had to use the "new" password
Jul 10 14:01:33 <vertigo> wait..maybe this worked
Jul 10 14:01:37 <vertigo> omg
Jul 10 14:01:48 <vertigo> rootfs                19039516     44212  18801872   0% /
Jul 10 14:02:09 <vertigo> '/dev/sda1             19039516     44212  18801872   0% /share/hdd/data
Jul 10 14:02:15 <vertigo> i think that means success?
Jul 10 14:02:35 <ByronT> yes
Jul 10 14:02:45 <vertigo> YES!  thanks so much ByronT
Jul 10 14:02:55 <vertigo> i'll copy this text in case i need it again
Jul 10 14:03:05 <vertigo> because i may have to redo it on a 160gb drive.
Jul 10 14:03:18 <vertigo> what if i just plug the 160 gb drive in disk 2 and use that for a data (music) drive?
Jul 10 14:03:29 <vertigo> all i have to do is format it with the web interface and copy data to it?
Jul 10 14:03:44 <vertigo> and then i can install programs to the 20 gig
Jul 10 14:04:22 <ByronT> right
Jul 10 14:05:04 <vertigo> awesome.  thanks again.
Jul 10 14:05:24 <vertigo> what do you think was the problem?  not typing 'sync' after unslinging?
Jul 10 14:05:51 <ByronT> who knows
Jul 10 14:05:59 <ByronT> I know how to do it...
Jul 10 14:06:10 <ByronT> and not really how to munch it up....
Jul 10 14:07:30 <ByronT> :)
Jul 10 14:07:34 <vertigo> lol..no problem
Jul 10 14:07:58 <vertigo> later, and thanks
Jul 10 14:08:07 <ByronT> have a good one
