Oct 05 15:56:13 can anyone tell me what program I should install for incoming email? a pop3 server? Oct 05 15:56:26 xmail be the best? Oct 05 16:32:32 hello? Oct 05 16:32:51 hi! Oct 05 16:33:48 wondering if you can guide me to the right place. i've been to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/Downloads and neither the unslung or openslug sites seem to be active. Have they moved? Oct 05 16:34:25 hm must be temp down worked ok a couple days ago Oct 05 16:35:36 just to doublecheck http://www.unslung.org/ right? Google had the same URL. Oct 05 16:37:35 guess so :) thanks grimreap... i'll try it again in a few days Oct 05 16:37:50 yeah down for me too Oct 05 16:38:47 cool. thanks agian Oct 05 17:07:28 lol Oct 05 17:08:11 look what I have found in google searching for openslug: http://gerdi.racken.de/ <--click on tesla Oct 05 17:43:09 how can I split (shrink) my old unslung partition, so I can use the free space for openslug? Oct 05 18:17:51 unslung.org. Is it down? Oct 05 18:18:06 yes Oct 05 18:18:22 is there a mirror with the latest firmware? Oct 05 18:18:40 no idea Oct 05 18:18:53 fudge Oct 05 18:18:57 I will look if I have a binary here Oct 05 18:19:06 ty Oct 05 18:20:29 do you know the filename? Oct 05 18:20:35 hmmm. maybe Oct 05 18:20:37 hang on Oct 05 18:22:04 Unslung-5.5-beta.bin? Oct 05 18:22:35 yes sir Oct 05 18:22:46 I load it up, one moment Oct 05 18:23:09 this is the unhacked version that does *not* send my traffic to your server right :) Oct 05 18:23:41 no idea, its the original-from-unslung.org-version Oct 05 18:23:48 jk Oct 05 18:23:51 ;-) Oct 05 18:25:13 30sec Oct 05 18:25:25 * MooCooMoo hums the theme from jeopardy Oct 05 18:25:52 http://x-coder.de/Unslung-5.5-beta-firmware.zip Oct 05 18:26:23 mmmm....nice pipe Oct 05 18:26:31 thank you sir, you are a man among men! Oct 05 18:26:39 say me if you have it Oct 05 18:26:47 all set! Oct 05 18:26:52 ty very much Oct 05 18:26:53 then I remove it Oct 05 18:26:59 no problem Oct 05 18:27:04 I'm off to brick my slug! Oct 05 19:24:55 I need help troubleshooting unslung 5.5-beta. Oct 05 19:25:01 anyone up? Oct 05 19:25:08 yes Oct 05 19:25:29 what problems do you have? Oct 05 19:26:30 I updated the firmware last night. I had a 250G drive that has been running 1.1-beta for, well, a long time. Got a new 300G drive, and removing the 250 out. Long story short I used the 250G as a test and it works fine. I use the 300G drive and I will not complete a boot. Oct 05 19:27:17 If a boot the unit without a drive it comes up fine. I can unsling the 300G drive, but one I reboot with the 300G in drive1... it doesn't complete. I cannot ping the nslu2 Oct 05 19:27:36 All lights would indicate it is okay, but I never get the final Beep. Oct 05 19:28:38 I have had exactly the same problem Oct 05 19:29:27 That is great news if you follow that up with "I fixed it by..." Oct 05 19:29:31 Oct 05 19:29:38 thats the problem Oct 05 19:29:45 dont know exactly how Oct 05 19:30:37 first I have killed all Partitions on the 300gb harddisk Oct 05 19:30:46 Oh boy... Oct 05 19:31:02 with an partition-software Oct 05 19:31:39 What about removing the filesystem (root) from the unsling-ing? and the reslinging? I let the nslu2 do the partitioning on this drive. Oct 05 19:31:50 after that I reflashed the nslu2 with the image and then it worked Oct 05 19:32:28 but what you can try is to test if the 300gb harddisk is recognized by the nslu2 Oct 05 19:32:31 I really don't think the firmware is a problem... Only becuase I tested it on the 250G first. Now the 250G runs run as the rootfiles system. Oct 05 19:33:24 boot nslu without any disks Oct 05 19:33:38 done.. it is ping able.. Oct 05 19:33:55 then you can login to the nslu Oct 05 19:34:03 right? Oct 05 19:34:22 (after enable telnet) Oct 05 19:35:17 I am telnet'd in now. Oct 05 19:35:24 Still no disks. Oct 05 19:35:33 ok, now type dmesg Oct 05 19:35:59 it shows no errors at all Oct 05 19:36:00 what are we looking for? Oct 05 19:36:20 now you connect the harddisk, while the nslu2 is on Oct 05 19:36:29 but the harddisk should be first of Oct 05 19:36:57 and then turn harddisk on and look dmesg Oct 05 19:37:12 I do see an error... Oct 05 19:37:35 Initializing IXP425 NPE Ethernet driver software v. 1.1 Oct 05 19:37:35 ixp425_eth: CPU clock speed (approx) = 0 MHz Oct 05 19:37:35 [error] ixEthMiiPhyScan : unexpected Mii PHY ID 00008201 Oct 05 19:37:35 ixp425_eth: ixp0 is using the PHY at address 1 Oct 05 19:37:35 ixp425_eth: ixp1 is using the PHY at address 0 Oct 05 19:37:36 ixp425_eth: ixEthMiiLinkStatus failed on PHY0. Oct 05 19:37:38 Can't determine Oct 05 19:37:40 the auto negotiated parameters. Using default values. Oct 05 19:38:15 I have the same error sometimes, but it has nothing to do with this Oct 05 19:38:46 but no messages about a new usb-device? Oct 05 19:38:58 Just powered on the HD... Oct 05 19:39:33 Okay I have the dmesg now that is has detected the 300G drive. Oct 05 19:40:06 do you see the mount-positions? Oct 05 19:40:55 yep... /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2 (data and conf) Oct 05 19:41:13 No errors in the dmesg for mounting the device. Oct 05 19:41:36 but thats not the right mountpositions for the hdd Oct 05 19:41:42 but ok Oct 05 19:42:03 sda1 and sda2 are the actual unslung in flash Oct 05 19:42:24 Those devices are mounted to /share/hdd/data and /share/hdd/conf Oct 05 19:42:34 do you have partitions on the hdd` Oct 05 19:42:38 ? Oct 05 19:43:13 "/dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2 (rw) Oct 05 19:43:13 "/proc on /proc type proc (rw) Oct 05 19:43:13 "usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) Oct 05 19:43:13 "/dev/sda1 on /share/hdd/data type ext3 (rw) Oct 05 19:43:13 "/dev/sda2 on /share/hdd/conf type ext3 (rw,sync) Oct 05 19:43:32 thats the data in the flash Oct 05 19:43:48 because you booted without an hdd Oct 05 19:44:39 It has always been sda for Disk1... Even in the old 1.1 firmware. Is that not what you have? I am currently running on flash right now. That is the only way I can get the system online. Oct 05 19:45:12 I can boot with the 250G is you want. It works off the HD. Oct 05 19:45:39 When you boot without any discs attached, unslung boots from flash, and so sda1 and sda2 are mountpoints in the falsh too. Oct 05 19:46:30 the disc is not mounted yet anywhere Oct 05 19:46:52 is there any data on the hdd? Oct 05 19:46:56 Currenly '/' is running off flash, and the disk is mounted just for data. I can unsling it again, but I have done that over and over. Oct 05 19:47:30 yes, I see the data. Oct 05 19:48:06 Here is the df output: Oct 05 19:48:06 "/dev/sda1 288276572 174267948 111079896 61% /share/hdd/data Oct 05 19:48:06 "/dev/sda2 116661 17882 97575 15% /share/hdd/conf Oct 05 19:48:18 ah ok Oct 05 19:48:37 that looks better Oct 05 19:48:48 Do you know if there are logs kept when booting off the HD? Oct 05 19:49:06 eventually in /var/logs Oct 05 19:49:23 yeah, mine is currently empty. Oct 05 19:49:32 I don't know how to watch a boot on this thing. Oct 05 19:49:44 you could try init 0 Oct 05 19:49:56 via telnet? Oct 05 19:50:00 yes Oct 05 19:50:06 will it kill the session? Oct 05 19:50:09 but you get kickked out Oct 05 19:50:18 but at a later point Oct 05 19:50:27 that is what I thought... Do you think I can get in? Oct 05 19:50:34 yes Oct 05 19:50:41 want me to try it. Oct 05 19:50:57 if not you poweroff and poweron Oct 05 19:51:31 Anything else you want to try what I am in this state? Oct 05 19:51:39 I can unsling it again. Oct 05 19:51:52 no i think unsling dont work Oct 05 19:52:16 you could format the disk Oct 05 19:52:24 last resort... Oct 05 19:52:25 from telnet Oct 05 19:52:56 and delete all partitions, and then try it again Oct 05 19:53:14 I have been debating removing all directories in /share/hdd/data except quota.* and public Oct 05 19:54:42 why u not use mkfs.ext3? Oct 05 19:54:55 instead of deleting all? Oct 05 19:55:30 because public has about 210G and I would rather not recopy. Oct 05 19:56:02 ok, thats an argument ;-) Oct 05 19:56:38 It took about 24hr to copy it there of the original 250G drive when I first got the 300G. Oct 05 19:57:05 oh yes long time Oct 05 19:57:32 Anything else you can think of to troubleshoot this booger? Oct 05 19:57:50 at the moment not Oct 05 19:58:09 bummer... let me try the init 0. Oct 05 19:58:32 lets start Oct 05 19:59:39 its running and I am not kicked out yet. Oct 05 20:00:19 i think it hangs at some point Oct 05 20:02:00 Yea, after the "Starting UNSLUNG Packages" and "Checking disk status". Oct 05 20:02:23 I am back in it now after reenabling the telnet daemon. Still running off of flash. Oct 05 20:03:25 I remind Oct 05 20:03:42 with my 300gb I had the same troubles Oct 05 20:04:24 until I partitioned it my own and shrinken the first partition Oct 05 20:04:38 ...and it will probably end with reformat... I am just looking to avoid that Oct 05 20:05:04 yes I am know, and I am not sure if it works after that Oct 05 20:05:36 do you think partition /dev/sda1 is too large for the NSLU2? Oct 05 20:05:58 dont know, but after I shrinked mine it worked Oct 05 20:06:18 what harddisk do you have? Oct 05 20:06:27 brand? Oct 05 20:06:32 seagate? Oct 05 20:06:32 Maxtor Oct 05 20:06:43 mine was seagte Oct 05 20:06:49 my Oct 05 20:06:57 Maxtor 7 Model: L300R0 Oct 05 20:07:11 hm, don't know Oct 05 20:08:34 I will reboot just to see if anything has changed. If not, I will try to manually remove the root filesystem from the drive and re-unsling. I guess if that doesn't work I will have to reformat the drive. Oct 05 20:09:01 you can try it Oct 05 20:09:41 what does the wif says? Oct 05 20:09:45 webinterface Oct 05 20:10:27 About the drive? Oct 05 20:10:31 yes Oct 05 20:10:36 "Ready" Oct 05 20:11:00 but only if you connect the drive after poweron Oct 05 20:11:33 Yes. I just rebooted and the "Power/Status" was not lit, "Ethernet" and "Disk 1" are lit. Is that any clue as to where it is hung up? Oct 05 20:12:49 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DiskNotRecognized Oct 05 20:13:22 eventually it helps Oct 05 20:13:53 Let me give this a run... Oct 05 20:15:09 or that: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/Unslung55BetaProblems Oct 05 20:16:03 attention,but second link hast do with format Oct 05 20:16:33 Yeah, I see that... And that, like you said at first, is probably the solution. Oct 05 20:18:09 Well I have the USB_Detect... so I guess it isn't the first one. Oct 05 20:18:36 I think thats right Oct 05 20:23:58 ok, I'll step in here for a sec Oct 05 20:25:12 ByronT, eventually you can help gollum211 to fix a problem? Oct 05 20:25:33 I should hope so... ;) Oct 05 20:25:34 I am open for suggestions. Oct 05 20:25:45 you can boot without hdd fine? Oct 05 20:25:52 yep Oct 05 20:26:03 but when you boot with hdd, it hangs? Oct 05 20:26:10 and I can read all partitions after I boot off of flash and plug it in. Oct 05 20:26:17 unsling works run... reboot hangs. Oct 05 20:26:32 and the hdd is found, when he boots without hdd, and connects them later Oct 05 20:26:47 k, did you read that wiki page about unslung 5.5 beta problem? Oct 05 20:26:59 You mean the reformat solution? Oct 05 20:27:06 it's not a reformat Oct 05 20:27:39 since I was the one who first nailed down the problem (and why it happens) and came up with the basic solution... I should know... ;) Oct 05 20:27:53 great... Oct 05 20:27:56 boot without hdd Oct 05 20:28:00 telnet in Oct 05 20:28:18 rm ./sda1root (or ./sda2root) Oct 05 20:28:29 type "sync" Oct 05 20:28:34 then "reboot" Oct 05 20:28:43 again without hdd attached! Oct 05 20:29:21 telnet in Oct 05 20:29:33 plug in drive, make sure it's mounted rw.... Oct 05 20:29:55 then do the /sbin/unsling disk1 (or disk2 - whichever you use).... Oct 05 20:30:05 type "sync" Oct 05 20:30:09 type "reboot" Oct 05 20:30:14 it should boot just fine Oct 05 20:30:16 rebooting now... Oct 05 20:34:44 phase 1 complete... rebooting again. Oct 05 20:35:39 bleh... I should remove my yahoo id from public consumption... Oct 05 20:36:49 someone just yahoo'd me for the unslung binary.... Oct 05 20:37:37 me too ;-) Oct 05 20:38:28 Yeah.. I think I hosed my drive trying to manually remove the root filesystem. Oct 05 20:39:05 Not mounting anymore. Oct 05 20:42:19 you did the rm ./sda#root? Oct 05 20:42:32 and then you rebooted - without the hdd attached, right? Oct 05 20:44:13 yep... but before you came in... I was trying to clean out the root filesystems on the sda1 and sda2 partitions... NOt it doesn't mount Oct 05 20:45:02 that shouldn't be an issue Oct 05 20:45:31 Okay... I have rebooted with no drive attached. Here is what is mounted: Oct 05 20:45:56 "/dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2 (rw) Oct 05 20:45:56 "/proc on /proc type proc (rw) Oct 05 20:45:56 "usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) Oct 05 20:45:56 "/dev/mtdblock4 on /dev.state type jffs2 (rw) Oct 05 20:45:56 "ramfs on /dev type ramfs (rw) Oct 05 20:45:56 "/dev/mtdblock4 on /var.state type jffs2 (rw) Oct 05 20:45:58 "ramfs on /var type ramfs (rw) Oct 05 20:46:00 "none on /tmp type ramfs (rw) Oct 05 20:46:56 ok, so what happens when you plug in the hdd? Oct 05 20:47:47 ewww... what firmware have you been trying? Oct 05 20:48:06 "usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) <- that's just not right Oct 05 20:48:29 5.5-beta.. I don't have the USB_Detect processes... I do have a /var/run/usb_det.pid Oct 05 20:48:53 so you've modded the flash contents... Oct 05 20:49:22 also known as you've touched something you didn't need to....... Oct 05 20:49:29 nope.. not that I am aware of... Oct 05 20:50:03 Should I remove this pid file and reboot? Oct 05 20:50:21 you don't want to mod flash contents.... Oct 05 20:50:38 you should reflash unslung 5.5 firmware Oct 05 20:51:26 "/var is mounted on ramfs... so how come I am not getting USB_Detect? Oct 05 20:52:18 I guess we're not communicating.... Oct 05 20:52:43 Okay... since this is my first time re-unslug-ing my device, I assume I cannot get into the old firmware upgrade Oct 05 20:53:00 the idea behind having rootfs on a hdd is such that recovery is simply pull the hdd and reboot Oct 05 20:53:33 and when you reboot, you're rebooting with a "clean" / "virgin" fimware image Oct 05 20:53:59 so I need to go into upgrade mode and reflash the firmware? Oct 05 20:54:05 yes Oct 05 20:55:28 upgrading now... Oct 05 20:58:22 byron, do you know why the files at http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/native/2.7-beta/ are all down? Oct 05 21:00:38 checking Oct 05 21:10:26 BrysonT... I am in... Oct 05 21:10:35 ByronT... oops. Oct 05 21:11:02 you've telnetted in without hdd attached? Oct 05 21:11:24 Actually I finished you steps. I am running rootfs from the drive. Oct 05 21:12:07 ah Oct 05 21:12:17 see it was a munched flash Oct 05 21:12:53 You know... after I reflashed and I rebooted without a HD... it was still a screwed up mount. Oct 05 21:14:40 Looks as if I munged up the config though. Can I reload my saved config (before I upgraded to 5.5). Or should I leave alone? Oct 05 21:14:48 cheef_daniel, there aren't any files in the native feed Oct 05 21:15:30 gollum, I would try to recreate config by hand rather than risk killing the system again Oct 05 21:15:46 Yeah... that was my thought too... Oct 05 21:16:47 now that rootfs is on sda1, can I passwd root to change the password? Oct 05 21:26:11 i was diconnected, and didnt realized it Oct 05 21:26:37 byront, whats with the ipkg files? Oct 05 21:27:51 cheef: Last thing byron said to you was "cheef_daniel, there aren't any files in the native feed" Oct 05 21:28:28 ? Oct 05 21:28:39 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/native/2.7-beta/ <-- there are files or not? Oct 05 21:29:18 dunno, but 15 minutes ago ByronT wrote that to you. Oct 05 21:29:27 ok Oct 05 21:29:33 try it later Oct 05 21:29:42 and whats with your problem? Oct 05 21:29:59 Thank you for your help earlier... I am fixed now... It was that second link you sent me,. Oct 05 21:30:23 but you have to reformat, right? Oct 05 21:31:06 no, he didn't Oct 05 21:31:18 good Oct 05 21:31:20 nope... I basically reflashed 5.5-beta Oct 05 21:31:33 then removed the .sda1root Oct 05 21:31:34 no files there, because there is nothing right now that has to be natively built Oct 05 21:31:39 then resling Oct 05 21:32:04 why are there dead file when I use the browser? Oct 05 21:34:53 ping Oct 05 21:35:14 my connection is gone away Oct 05 21:35:18 nope Oct 05 22:02:46 cheef/byron.... It is all up and working. smb, rsync. It seems a-okay now, and I thank you both for your help! Oct 05 22:03:18 cool, then I can go to bed now Oct 05 22:03:30 me too! later! Oct 05 22:03:43 sure later, Oct 05 22:03:52 n8 @ all **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Oct 06 02:59:56 2005
