Sep 06 07:39:33 <es`Fatboy> hi
Sep 06 07:39:51 <es`Fatboy> anyone tried to install ventrilo server on the nslu2 ?
Sep 06 07:50:16 <es`Fatboy> well
Sep 06 07:50:22 <es`Fatboy> then I have to try :)
Sep 06 07:55:15 <es`Fatboy> damn
Sep 06 08:07:45 <es`Fatboy> dint work
Sep 06 09:24:24 <es`Fatboy> I asked before but IŽl ask again :)
Sep 06 09:24:43 <es`Fatboy> anyone tried to install ventrilo server on the NSLU2 ?
Sep 06 09:25:09 <es`Fatboy> if it is possible it would bee super cool
Sep 06 11:11:24 <Nymus> can someone help me reconfiguring my NSLU box
Sep 06 11:11:34 <Nymus> i recently upgraded from 3.x to 5.5
Sep 06 11:11:56 <Nymus> dropbear and vsftpd are not working properly anymore
Sep 06 11:12:01 <Nymus> cant figure out why
Sep 06 11:29:54 <Nymus> can someone help me setting up eggdrop ?
Sep 06 11:48:23 <Nymus> can someone help me setting up eggdrop ?
Sep 06 11:49:50 <ByronT> I'm afraid that if there is no "HowTo" page, then you'll need to follow any directions that might be attached to the eggdrop homepage
Sep 06 11:49:58 <ByronT> in this case (eggheads.org)
Sep 06 11:50:23 <Nymus> opt/eggdrop/eggdrop: error while loading shared libraries: libtcl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Sep 06 11:50:26 <Nymus> this is what i get
Sep 06 11:51:15 <ByronT> hmm.. sounds like a unresolved depend
Sep 06 11:51:53 <ByronT> in that case, you need to find what package hold libctl
Sep 06 11:52:14 <ByronT> use the package search engine: http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/
Sep 06 11:52:21 <Nymus> have heard of people installing gconv-modules
Sep 06 11:52:28 <Nymus> but doesn't work for me
Sep 06 11:52:37 <Nymus> just solved the dropbear problem
Sep 06 11:52:42 <ByronT> and then raise a slugbug, if installing whatever package holds libctl...
Sep 06 11:52:48 <Nymus> seems that the authorized_keys file needs to be dropped in the root dir
Sep 06 11:52:58 <Nymus> so /root/.ssh/
Sep 06 11:53:12 <Nymus> before in the 3.x release it was .ssh
Sep 06 11:53:42 <Nymus> i will have a look for that libtcl thingy
Sep 06 11:53:47 <ByronT> that's just a move to standard linux
Sep 06 11:53:52 <ByronT> the ipkg is tcl
Sep 06 11:54:04 <Nymus> ?
Sep 06 11:54:11 <ByronT> ipkg install tcl and then retry eggdrop
Sep 06 11:54:22 <Nymus> ah k
Sep 06 11:54:23 <Nymus> thx
Sep 06 11:54:42 <Nymus> lol
Sep 06 11:54:48 <ByronT> [13:51] <Nymus> so /root/.ssh/ <- that was a result of moving to a more standardized linux setup
Sep 06 11:54:49 <Nymus> was installed allready
Sep 06 11:54:52 <Nymus> nothing to be done
Sep 06 11:54:56 <Nymus> k
Sep 06 11:55:02 <Nymus> but i didn't know
Sep 06 11:55:22 <Nymus> and i don't think the change of directories is mentioned somewhere on the nslu linux site
Sep 06 11:55:25 <Nymus> if it is my mistake
Sep 06 11:55:44 <ByronT> http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/result.php?query=libtcl&searchtype=file&section=
Sep 06 11:56:21 <ByronT> can you check and see if the file is actually there?
Sep 06 11:56:37 <ByronT> the /opt/lib/libtclso file?
Sep 06 11:57:15 <Nymus> it is
Sep 06 11:57:34 <Nymus> but it was mentioned somewhere that this file should be put in /lib/
Sep 06 11:57:37 <Nymus> directory
Sep 06 11:57:52 <ByronT> and you've tried that?
Sep 06 11:58:00 <Nymus> yup doesn't work either
Sep 06 11:58:01 <ByronT> (not that I would recommend doing that)
Sep 06 11:58:40 <ByronT> go ahead and raise a slugbug on eggdrop - that it complains about libtcl.so, that you've verified that it is there, and hopefully someone will catch it and fix
Sep 06 11:58:57 <Nymus> ok thx
Sep 06 11:59:22 <ByronT> you cold try something else as well
Sep 06 11:59:27 <ByronT> s/cold/could
Sep 06 11:59:36 <Nymus> k
Sep 06 11:59:50 <ByronT> perhaps something in the upgrade didn't upgrade properly
Sep 06 12:00:46 <ByronT> if you can save your data to another disk and then wipe and restart a fresh 5.5 install (with a newly formatted disk) maybe the problem will be taken care of that way
Sep 06 12:01:07 <Nymus> i am affraid that is not an option at this moment
Sep 06 12:01:20 <Nymus> 2x 250GB is attached to it
Sep 06 12:01:37 <ByronT> hmmm
Sep 06 12:01:46 <ByronT> used as backup?
Sep 06 12:01:52 <Nymus> nope
Sep 06 12:02:07 <Nymus> both contain different data
Sep 06 12:02:25 <ByronT> is there enough room on either to just save data to one of them?
Sep 06 12:02:45 <Nymus> depends how many data you want to save
Sep 06 12:03:02 <Nymus> i have about 3g free on every disk
Sep 06 12:03:13 <ByronT> well, I mean all but config stuff...
Sep 06 12:03:45 <Nymus> i cant empty one disk on another at this time
Sep 06 12:04:00 <ByronT> understood
Sep 06 12:04:23 <ByronT> I'll check eggdrop on one of my slugs tonight
Sep 06 12:04:36 <Nymus> k thx
Sep 06 12:05:08 <ByronT> do a post to the yahoo mailing list -general or -linux... with the problem and I'll reply (and maybe others too) whether or not I got it to work on a fresh unslung 5.5 system
Sep 06 12:05:36 <Nymus> ok thx a lot
Sep 06 12:05:45 <Nymus> i will look around on the yahoo mailing list as well
Sep 06 12:06:21 <ByronT> np (and searching wiki, gmane mailing list are always good things to try... ) :)
Sep 06 12:06:42 <ByronT> if/when this gets fixed, will you put together a HowTo on eggdrop?
Sep 06 12:07:03 <Nymus> sure if i know how
Sep 06 12:07:05 <Nymus> np at all
Sep 06 12:07:16 <Nymus> be glad to help others
Sep 06 12:09:01 <Nymus> the yahoo general group has no messages containing libtcl.so
Sep 06 12:09:08 <Nymus> :) what a good start
Sep 06 12:09:38 <ByronT> sometimes you're the follower and sometimes you're the "probe"
Sep 06 12:09:55 <Nymus> lol
Sep 06 12:09:58 <Nymus> prefer the first one
Sep 06 12:10:01 <Nymus> more helpfull
Sep 06 12:10:22 <ByronT> "probe" being a term used in whitewater kayaking when approaching an unknown drop/rapid... that first person is the "probe" Hey! Tell us how bad it is.....
Sep 06 12:19:11 <Nymus> seems that i am not the first with this problem
Sep 06 12:19:28 <Nymus> have installed ldconfig
Sep 06 12:19:34 <Nymus> and gconv-modules
Sep 06 12:19:41 <Nymus> now i don't get an error
Sep 06 12:19:51 <Nymus> but seems that the slug is waiting for something
Sep 06 12:20:00 <ByronT> ah...
Sep 06 12:20:02 <Nymus> when i ps -ef in another session
Sep 06 12:20:08 <Nymus> it shows up in the list running
Sep 06 12:20:14 <Nymus> but when joining the irc server
Sep 06 12:20:19 <Nymus> it hasn't joined the server
Sep 06 12:20:31 <ByronT> might be a configuration issue then....
Sep 06 12:20:34 <Nymus> so i presume we are getting closer but there is still a long way to go
Sep 06 12:21:12 <ByronT> good luck, Probe Nymus... :)
Sep 06 12:21:37 <Nymus> lol thx have the feeling ill need it
Sep 06 12:41:05 <Nymus> ByronT is it possible that the bot hangs
Sep 06 12:41:15 <Nymus> because it is trying to reach external addresses
Sep 06 12:41:22 <Nymus> but can't due to dns problem
Sep 06 12:41:49 <ByronT> weird
Sep 06 12:42:04 <Nymus> i dunno just guessing
Sep 06 12:42:15 <Nymus> cuz when i first tried to ipkg update
Sep 06 12:42:27 <Nymus> i had to enter the ip of my router
Sep 06 12:42:37 <Nymus> for ipkg to be able to axx internet
Sep 06 14:23:50 * philipjohnson miss
Sep 06 14:23:57 <philipjohnson> oops.
Sep 06 14:42:06 <Nymus> eggdrop blocked on a rt_sigsuspend
Sep 06 14:50:45 <Nymus> someone knows a solution
Sep 06 19:57:58 <pohlman> good evening!  Anyone up for an interesting root partition issue?
Sep 06 19:58:16 <ByronT> ?
Sep 06 19:59:29 <pohlman> I'm trying to use the unslung firmware (Unslung-5.5-beta.bin) with a 4gig microdrive as my external drive connected through a CF usb adapter
Sep 06 20:00:20 <pohlman> i format and unsling correctly and even have /.sda1root but when I boot, it still uses (/dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2)
Sep 06 20:01:10 <pohlman> it *does* mount /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 after boot, but it seems like on boot linuxrc doesn't see /dev/sda
Sep 06 20:02:17 <pohlman> i've booted back into redboot and reflashed, repartitioned and re-unslung and get the same results
Sep 06 20:04:19 <pohlman> i've found one other documented case of the same occurance but with no resolution at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/message/1987
Sep 06 20:09:59 <ByronT> probably the drive is not being recognized in time for it to "believe" that the it should mount the rootfs from the drive
Sep 06 20:10:48 <pohlman> yeah, that's what I gathered from the yahoo list, i increased the count from 20 to 30 in linuxrc but that didn't help it ... it's almost as if this version of the firmware has something out of order
Sep 06 20:11:06 <ByronT> or.... your disk isn't being recognized
Sep 06 20:11:28 <pohlman> once the box is fully up, I can read/write the disk just fine
Sep 06 20:11:29 <ByronT> you can boot without disk, telnet in rm ./sda1root, and then reboot
Sep 06 20:11:37 <ByronT> again without hd
Sep 06 20:11:51 <ByronT> then unsling again, type sync then reboot, and hope for the best
Sep 06 20:11:57 <pohlman> ok!
Sep 06 20:12:07 <pohlman> thank you very much for your input!
Sep 06 20:12:15 <ByronT> if increasing the time does not help, then you should probably think about serial to see where the failure is
Sep 06 20:13:13 <pohlman> yeah .. and a USB to serial adapter for my mac too :)
Sep 06 20:13:55 <ByronT> they're not too expensive
Sep 06 20:14:38 <ByronT> I've just 9 or so serial->USB cables that I made using FutureDial phone cables
Sep 06 20:16:22 <pohlman> i might as well get a pre-packaged one since I've found myself wanting one for a router now and again
Sep 06 20:24:10 <pohlman> nada .. still the same.  The really odd part is that during boot, the activity light on the USB drive shows activity
Sep 06 20:24:25 <ByronT> dmesg
Sep 06 20:24:36 <ByronT> output it and put it in a pastebin?
Sep 06 20:25:13 <pohlman> a pastebin?
Sep 06 20:25:45 <ByronT> http://pastebin.ca
Sep 06 20:26:27 <pohlman> i've put it here: http://www.tcpconsulting.com/nslu2_dmesg.txt
Sep 06 20:28:40 <pohlman> i did notice that the line "VFS: Mounted root (jffs2 filesystem)." comes before "*** detect:usb-storage"
Sep 06 20:31:33 <ByronT> comparing
Sep 06 20:36:21 <pohlman> thank you so much!
Sep 06 20:37:28 <ByronT> something is wonky
Sep 06 20:38:16 <pohlman> oh?
Sep 06 20:39:05 <ByronT> http://pastebin.ca/22265 go to line 127
Sep 06 20:39:12 <ByronT> and compare to yours
Sep 06 20:39:24 <ByronT> that pastebin is from my unslung 5.5 system
Sep 06 20:42:40 <pohlman> the difference isn't jumping out at me yet
Sep 06 20:43:01 <ByronT> I'm getting a read capacity right away
Sep 06 20:43:09 <pohlman> aahhhh
Sep 06 20:44:26 <pohlman> is there more than 1 release of the unslung 5.5 image?
Sep 06 20:45:40 <ByronT> nope, only the one binary release
Sep 06 20:46:05 <pohlman> hmmm .. i should dig out my old 128mb usb stick and see if i get a different result
Sep 06 20:48:08 <pohlman> i'm downloading the source now too ... maybe there is a hint in there :)
Sep 06 20:51:44 <pohlman> since I'm using a microdrive, I suppose that it would make sense that there is some lag to do a read capacity
Sep 06 20:54:48 <ByronT> big lag from what dmesg is showing
Sep 06 20:55:52 <pohlman> i don't even see mine do that check
Sep 06 20:58:42 <ByronT> well, that's part of the issue.... I'm not sure anyone else has tried to do what you're doing - that is using a CF reader
Sep 06 20:59:55 <pohlman> cool .. i have a chance to break new ground!
Sep 06 20:59:59 * ByronT is away -( zzZZZzz )- at 10:58p -( P:On / L:Off )-
Sep 07 02:18:11 <Nymus> if someone has already set up eggdrop on a nslu2 please tell me how
