**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jul 27 23:59:56 2005 Jul 28 00:08:44 is monotone server down ? Jul 28 00:46:34 someone who knows how monotone server is down ? Jul 28 01:29:01 vanille.de is down Jul 28 01:29:03 monotone.nslu2-linux.org is up Jul 28 01:40:10 rwhitby-away: enough to substitute it in setup-monotone section ? Jul 28 04:10:38 unslung-5.5-beta: I've noticed that my 2.5 inch Samsung HDD (where I unslung to) runs much hotter when attached to the NSLU2 than when attached & mounted to SUSE running in VMWare. I've already put /var into a ramdisk and don't run any additional service other than dropbear. Is there anything else that keeps the HDD from spinning down? Jul 28 04:13:02 to clarify: I use the same external USB case for both attempts Jul 28 08:19:04 anyone here? Jul 28 08:48:43 yes Jul 28 08:48:47 sorta Jul 28 08:49:40 heh Jul 28 08:49:56 i'm a total linux n00b Jul 28 08:50:24 we all were at one point in time Jul 28 08:50:27 I know how to compile stuff like on my OS X box, but I know nothing about cross-compiling Jul 28 08:50:30 Anyways Jul 28 08:50:50 well OS X is a form of *nix Jul 28 08:50:59 yea but i don't know how to cross-compile Jul 28 08:51:22 I aim to compile a version of GPSD for an nslu2 box so I can stuff it in my car Jul 28 08:51:35 whats the general process for that, since there's no existing binary? Jul 28 08:51:52 yeah, I don't know if cross-compiling on OS X is something that many have done yet Jul 28 08:52:03 I know that its possible Jul 28 08:52:10 oh, it is.... Jul 28 08:52:25 plus there arent any other options since I don't have anyx86 boxen anymore Jul 28 08:52:43 it's just not as straight forward as we've made it for linux boxes Jul 28 08:52:50 I can guess Jul 28 08:53:02 hold a sec... Jul 28 08:53:14 sure Jul 28 08:57:14 I'm planning out my whole "car as daemon" idea Jul 28 08:57:33 well, I've asked and I can't seem to catch the two candidates (who I know to have OS X boxes) around Jul 28 08:57:40 mmkay Jul 28 08:57:42 just wondering Jul 28 08:57:50 for cross-compiling Jul 28 08:58:13 if you can idle here, I can let you know and maybe get them to chat with you to help you out Jul 28 08:58:14 is it just a process of grabing the preexisting source and punching it into GCC w/ the right options? Jul 28 08:58:40 and then of course, you'll have to make a wiki page detailing the process for future OS X users Jul 28 08:58:44 :) Jul 28 08:58:48 yep Jul 28 08:59:28 something like that... for most linux users, it's a matter of getting the needed tools, then using the Master Makefile Jul 28 08:59:44 master makefile... Jul 28 08:59:48 I have some googling to do... Jul 28 09:00:08 (I could be wrong in that it may not require doing anything but getting the Master Makefile and then using it) Jul 28 09:00:15 hmm Jul 28 09:00:22 well I'm running a bit low on cash for now Jul 28 09:00:27 use this page extensively Jul 28 09:00:41 this is all GPL stuff... free except for what you download Jul 28 09:00:43 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/SearchWiki Jul 28 09:00:49 sweet Jul 28 09:00:53 if it costs you anything to download Jul 28 09:01:06 I'm saving up for all the needed parts Jul 28 09:01:15 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheMasterMakefile Jul 28 09:01:22 so far its gonna cost me about $200 for the entire setup i'm planning in my car Jul 28 09:01:44 I'm switching this guys liquor store's surveilance system to an IP-based one Jul 28 09:03:56 its going to be a blast Jul 28 09:04:37 slugarmies can be fun Jul 28 09:57:51 I appear to have a non-FAQ problem Jul 28 09:59:01 my nslu won't boot with the memory stick after i did the "unslinging". Jul 28 09:59:42 At least I can't ping/http/telnet it over the network Jul 28 10:01:56 If I boot it without the pendrive, it boots normally. And I can enable the telnetserver and connect there. Jul 28 10:05:54 XtraLars, have you read this http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/7489 Jul 28 10:06:16 will now :) Jul 28 10:07:38 I'll try it Jul 28 10:12:00 wonder why it happened... I followed the readme step by step Jul 28 10:13:07 must be that jerk-off README maintainer's fault then Jul 28 10:13:15 ;) Jul 28 10:13:27 hehe Jul 28 10:14:04 I'll have a stern talking to him... the next time I look in the mirror Jul 28 10:14:08 well at least it responds to ping now :) Jul 28 10:14:24 hehe, give "him" a real talking to from me too :) Jul 28 10:17:55 and now to the exiting ipkg part! :D Jul 28 10:18:48 caplink811_log: thanks for the url, btw Jul 28 10:18:56 np Jul 28 13:10:30 I have downloaded a patch for ctorrent (ctorrent-1.3.4-dnh1.diff), but how do I apply it? Jul 28 13:23:25 anyone? Jul 28 13:26:03 ? Jul 28 13:26:20 what do you mean you've downloaded a patch for ctorrent? Jul 28 13:26:22 source? Jul 28 13:39:09 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=598034&group_id=91688&func=browse Jul 28 13:43:41 so you would need to have a cross-compile environment and apply that patch to the ctorrent source and then compile for the binary to be placed on your slug Jul 28 13:45:11 SIGH!, not good news for a complete newbie like me Jul 28 13:45:37 ipkg could use some kind progress-indicator Jul 28 13:46:04 ah, then you could use the nslu2-linux to determine who the maintainer of the ctorrent ipkg and then politely request them to update the ipkg Jul 28 13:46:35 excuse me "the nslu2-linux.org WIKI".... Jul 28 13:47:38 I guess that the same goes for the "ctorrent-lfs-0.7.patch" ? Jul 28 13:48:05 it probably would... :) Jul 28 13:56:02 ok, is the cross-complie -bit something a complete newbie should even atempt to get involved in? Jul 28 13:57:27 if you have a linux box, it's sort of a jump-in and get your feet wet thing Jul 28 13:58:15 only got a PC running winxp Jul 28 13:58:30 then maybe look at colinux Jul 28 14:38:08 anyone still awake? Jul 28 14:40:50 I found "FreeBSD patched source" witch is a folder with alot of files like ctorrent.cpp and others. And another "Linux/Windows/Other patched source" that is a .tar-3 file Jul 28 14:41:52 is that something I can use without any complying? Jul 28 14:42:39 a .tar file is an archive file (of other files) Jul 28 14:42:52 which means it's probably source code Jul 28 14:47:28 is'nt there any "copy & paste and your done" in the linux-world :) Jul 28 14:48:21 hm.. keep forgetting where things are.. not the file structure I'm used to from debian and such Jul 28 14:48:45 and locate doesn't work Jul 28 14:50:49 find / -name whatever -print Jul 28 14:53:54 whoa, suddenly everything works... or so it appears Jul 28 14:53:58 php anyways Jul 28 14:56:02 how much memory would you say it's safe to let php use? Jul 28 14:56:24 the box had 32mb or something? I see php has a 8M limit now Jul 28 23:58:42 /join #nslu2-linux **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jul 28 23:59:56 2005
