Sep 19 07:56:40 I have deleted all partitions on the flash disk Sep 19 07:56:44 hmm Sep 19 07:57:03 dont know ...I just try to follow the guid on nslu2-linux webb site Sep 19 07:57:10 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseAMemoryStickAsMainDrive Sep 19 07:57:22 it says that I need 3 Sep 19 07:57:50 but if you know how to do it maby you can help me Sep 19 07:57:55 if you have the time Sep 19 07:58:27 once you've removed all partitions, type : Sep 19 08:00:00 (from memory) n p 1 (leave defautl start) +aaaM (replace aaa by the size you want your first partition) Sep 19 08:00:19 ahh Sep 19 08:00:20 oki Sep 19 08:00:23 I+l try Sep 19 08:00:25 then do the same replacing 1 by 2, then by 3 this will create your three partitions.

Sep 19 21:15:22 you running unslung? Sep 19 21:15:25 chat joking... Sep 19 21:15:29 I run lots of things Sep 19 21:15:43 ircd-hybrid? Sep 19 21:18:16 that I do not run Sep 19 21:19:04 im having some problems with it and have been looking around for a solution Sep 19 21:19:24 other than that so far the slug has been fun Sep 19 21:19:56 feel free to ask - maybe someone else in channel can help (our telepathic interface still doesn't work) Sep 19 21:20:25 hehe Sep 19 21:21:58 will i ipkg installed it, created a user to run it under and it starts and instantly dies, tried 2>err.log to catch why, nada also tried using its own option to create a log file... nada Sep 19 21:22:45 so at this point would just like to find someone who is successfully using it Sep 19 21:23:48 give me a minute... I'll see what I can do Sep 19 21:24:13 thanks Sep 19 21:27:38 wow, they have such *great* doco (sarcasm) Sep 19 21:28:04 lol ya not much Sep 19 21:28:33 not even a readme how-to to be found! Sep 19 21:29:27 i used to run a hybrid server under slack so i have seen the config file, they are using a mini config here but i dont have many clues on why its croaking Sep 19 21:30:38 I would sorta want to know a little about what I'm trying to setup before I do exactly that! Sep 19 21:31:54 it would help Sep 19 21:32:00 yah... even great info after an install Sep 19 21:32:27 you do realize that if we get you running, you're honor bound to create a HowTo in the nslu2-linux.org wiki? Sep 19 21:32:50 yes hehe and that would be a pleasure to do Sep 19 21:33:35 well they list the maintainer as the yahoo group so i will post a question there and see what happens Sep 19 21:33:52 I'm installing it Sep 19 21:34:16 there is a /opt/doc/ircd-hybrid Sep 19 21:34:34 thats where they have a simple config file Sep 19 21:37:10 grrr... you can't run as root Sep 19 21:37:17 thats correct Sep 19 21:37:31 the packager of this really should have spent a little bit more time Sep 19 21:38:30 well at least a README would have been nice... Sep 19 21:39:51 im attempting to get set up to be able to cross compile on this box in the future,so if i cant find a answer to this i may take a whack at compilin it myself Sep 19 21:40:00 I think part of the problem is that unless the user that you're using to run ircd has permissions to the folder where the config files are, and where the log file should go, it would do exactly what you're saying it does Sep 19 21:41:15 thought about that so im running it from the users home dir and was pointing all log files back to that dir Sep 19 21:43:00 you may be right that its a pathing problem Sep 19 21:43:13 breaking a security rule... but have you made the user a member of the admin group too? Sep 19 21:43:38 nope Sep 19 21:44:16 seems like that might be a hang up in ircd even reading the config file Sep 19 21:45:37 well i made a copy of the config file in the dir where ircd lives so it should find it, and tried starting with the option to look elsewhere for the config file... i.e. in the users home dir Sep 19 21:46:06 it may just be broke and im tail chasing for no reason Sep 19 21:46:09 hehe Sep 19 21:47:28 go ahead and post to the mailing list for help Sep 19 21:47:51 yup Sep 19 21:48:03 state that it's in the feed, but there's no documentation, and so, you're not even sure it works (as there is very little doco even at it's home site) Sep 19 21:48:32 ask if anyone else has it running, how they did it, and volunteer that you'll produce a HowTo page for future users Sep 19 21:48:55 rr Sep 19 21:50:07 I was going to install it on one of my test slugs, but they are down right now due to some serial port work Sep 19 21:51:35 i have been trying to think up the best way to do that, ave the converter inside on the connector and then run a cable out or cram it in the connector like the howto's say Sep 19 21:52:19 back panel is already too full for a connector there unless i did a rj45 and made it like a dongle Sep 19 21:52:29 I'm using the usb<->serial cables Sep 19 21:52:50 FutureDial cellphone data cables to be exact Sep 19 21:53:16 ok i was thinking of the internal 4 pin usb serial is supported eh??? good to know Sep 19 21:53:54 I drill a 3/16" hole in between the two USB ports and run the three wires (gnd, Tx, Rx) through there Sep 19 21:54:20 yup Sep 19 21:54:33 plug the USB side into any computer and access via a terminal program Sep 19 21:55:17 ah ok Sep 19 21:59:09 clean, quick and cheap Sep 19 21:59:45 plus, another dev and I figured out how to get the cables to work whether they are plugged into PC or not.... Sep 19 22:07:08 wb Sep 19 22:08:10 so your stealing some power from the slug but how you get it back to the usb end? or is the converter electronics at the slug end? Sep 19 22:13:43 gnite byron thanks for the info Sep 19 22:13:56 ? Sep 19 22:14:08 the help earlier Sep 19 22:14:14 on ircd Sep 19 22:14:20 not stealing some power from the slug Sep 19 22:14:34 just ensuring that a particular pin stays low Sep 19 22:15:16 it's tied high in the original setup - but on a reset, the ambient power causes the chip to go into a suspend state which will keep the slug from booting Sep 19 22:15:57 we remove the resistor that ties it high and use another 100K resistor to tie the pin low - which guarantees a boot in all states Sep 19 22:16:14 think i read about this with long cable being more of a problem Sep 19 22:17:21 that has to do with noise... and yeah, noise can be a major pain Sep 19 22:18:02 ok well gnite and thanks again for looking at ircd Sep 19 22:18:19 sorry that I couldn't get you setup quickly Sep 19 22:18:27 hey np **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Sep 20 02:59:56 2005
