Dec 14 12:25:31 <sHINE> Hi! May I ask a simple question?
Dec 14 12:27:00 <sHINE> I have absolutely no experience with linux and I have just installed the newest Unslung to my NSLU. Then I installed StreamRipper and fIcy but I dont know how to run them
Dec 14 12:32:29 <Nimmit> shine, I don't know much either but did you do that unsling step?  I think you can really screw yourself if you didn't
Dec 14 12:33:17 <sHINE> yes, and the I have done an IPKG install streamripper and everything works fine
Dec 14 12:33:30 <sHINE> but I'm too stupid to start this thing now
Dec 14 12:33:52 <sHINE> just typing "streamripper" does not work
Dec 14 12:34:31 <sHINE> found out that it installs to /opt/bin nut even in this dir I can't execute it
Dec 14 12:36:12 <Nimmit> type /opt/bin/streamripper
Dec 14 12:36:24 <Nimmit> I think you always have to type the directory with it
Dec 14 12:36:28 <Nimmit> to start a program
Dec 14 12:37:05 <LoppApan> an ugly way to fix it is: as root: ln -s /opt/bin/streamripper /usr/bin/
Dec 14 12:38:02 <LoppApan> or find a way to fix export PATH="$PATH:/opt/bin" in a .bashrc or .login in homedir. That way everything in /opt/bin/ will work
Dec 14 12:38:18 <LoppApan> I usually just ln -s the binfile in question
Dec 14 12:38:33 <caplink811_log> and the right way to fix it, is add /opt/bin and /opt/sbin to the $PATH variable
Dec 14 12:38:40 <LoppApan> exactly :)
Dec 14 12:38:40 <sHINE> @Nimmit: That worked! Thanks for that.
Dec 14 12:38:46 <Nimmit> :)
Dec 14 12:38:47 <Nimmit> np
Dec 14 12:38:51 <sHINE> How Do I add this to the PATH Variable?
Dec 14 12:39:03 * Nimmit is new to this thing also, about 5 days
Dec 14 12:39:52 <caplink811_log> assuming, that /etc/profile still exist, echo "export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:" >> /etc/profile
Dec 14 12:40:33 <caplink811_log> log off, log in, enter env or set, the output should show you the new/complete PATH statement
Dec 14 12:42:55 <sHINE> @caplink811_log: That worked, many thanks. I will try to rip a stream now....
Dec 14 12:43:23 <caplink811_log> no problem, much fun
Dec 14 12:44:01 <Nimmit> tell me how that program works for ya sHINE, I might try it also
Dec 14 12:44:14 <Nimmit> there's needs to be one to rip streaming video also
Dec 14 12:45:29 <sHINE> Now it's rippin', ehh...but where is it storing the mp3-files? :) Is there an easy way to get the files from my windows pc?
Dec 14 12:45:48 <LoppApan> sHINE: samba?
Dec 14 12:47:33 <sHINE> oh no, its easier, just typed the name of my nslu in explorer and, voila, get the shares configured with the web-interface and there are all the files
Dec 14 12:47:40 <LoppApan> aha
Dec 14 12:47:53 <LoppApan> goodie
Dec 14 12:48:09 <sHINE> could I run more instances of the ripper to rip more channels?
Dec 14 12:48:26 <LoppApan> try
Dec 14 12:48:29 <caplink811_log> well, just try it
Dec 14 12:48:35 <LoppApan> can't hurt
Dec 14 12:48:53 <sHINE> How? I have no console now, just streamripper
Dec 14 12:48:58 <caplink811_log> maybe a good thing, to read the docs about SCREEN, and install it then
Dec 14 12:49:14 <LoppApan> log in again or install screen, screen will save you time
Dec 14 12:49:30 <sHINE> ok
Dec 14 12:51:27 <LoppApan> this article explains screen in a good way for people who are new to it. http://freshmeat.net/articles/view/581/
Dec 14 12:52:49 <sHINE> thanks! This streamripper thing isn't so stable? It looses connection all the time
Dec 14 12:53:16 <LoppApan> i wouldn't know
Dec 14 12:53:46 <LoppApan> can you set cache to a higher value?
Dec 14 12:54:07 <sHINE> if U can tell me how, I would do :)
Dec 14 12:54:11 <LoppApan> hehehe
Dec 14 12:55:04 <sHINE> wait, Im just studying the commandline-optionf for fIcy
Dec 14 13:11:12 <sHINE> fIcy works better! No time-outs, very nice!
Dec 14 13:13:05 <cyanescent> hi...looking for the native nslu2 toolchain compiler listed on the howto page, but the external link has gone dead -- has anyone got an active link ? =) 
Dec 14 13:17:22 <caplink811_log> ipkg install unslung-devel ?!
Dec 14 13:18:26 <cyanescent> it's in there ?
Dec 14 13:18:50 <cyanescent> I was thinking of the one mentioned here http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/NativeNSLU2Toolchain
Dec 14 13:19:18 <cyanescent> though could be packaged by now..
Dec 14 14:08:51 <[1]jk> ?
Dec 14 14:47:56 <RichBayliss> hey all
Dec 14 14:48:17 <RichBayliss> i tried to post a message out to the mailing list - but i dont think its come round yet
Dec 14 14:48:24 <RichBayliss> ive set up a forum for us
Dec 14 14:48:37 <RichBayliss> NSLU2 Linux User Group
Dec 14 14:48:42 <RichBayliss> link for it is:
Dec 14 14:48:51 <marceln> You have to be on the list with the same mail adress to post
Dec 14 14:48:59 <RichBayliss> http://slug.richbayliss.co.uk
Dec 14 14:49:02 <RichBayliss> well
Dec 14 14:49:13 <RichBayliss> i think 1 person got it :S not sure
Dec 14 14:49:28 <RichBayliss> but i hope the form ive setup can be helpfull
Dec 14 14:53:00 <RichBayliss> whats the best place for me to let people know about the forum?
Dec 14 14:53:13 <RichBayliss> i tried editing the wiki - needed a password
Dec 14 16:28:38 <blabberp> hello, anyone alive?
Dec 14 16:28:45 <blabberp> got a quick question...
Dec 14 16:30:18 <ByronT> just ask away
Dec 14 16:30:26 <blabberp> hi  :-)
Dec 14 16:31:39 <blabberp> i've just run an build of openslug-image and openslug.  i want to build x11 to and have downloaded the opware set.  i notice that there appear to be duplicate packages.  which should i install in preference - the openslug ipk or the optware one?  tia
Dec 14 16:32:06 <blabberp> hope that made sense...
Dec 14 16:32:42 <ByronT> optware is an inclusive term including packages targetted to openslug
Dec 14 16:33:16 <blabberp> but the versions that opware is compiling are different to those that were downloaded during the openslug build
Dec 14 16:33:25 <blabberp> opware=optware
Dec 14 16:33:50 <ByronT> although I would state that the openslug ipk is more like to work with a nslu2 - while the optware is targetted to other devices as well
Dec 14 16:33:57 <blabberp> there are slight differences in the revioions/version that are in my downloads dir
Dec 14 16:34:19 <ByronT> that could just be a matter of being tested vs. maintained....
Dec 14 16:34:30 <blabberp> so, you'd say use the openslug if a corresponding optware DOES exist?
Dec 14 16:34:47 <blabberp> the openslug ipk that is
Dec 14 16:34:51 <ByronT> correct
Dec 14 16:34:55 <blabberp> :-)
Dec 14 16:34:57 <ByronT> but YMMV...
Dec 14 16:35:23 <blabberp> i'm trying to get x11 working - which is best - diet-x11 or the extensible wm?
Dec 14 16:36:04 <blabberp> via building x11-ext or whatever it's called versus diet-x11
Dec 14 16:36:16 <ByronT> on that, I would have no earthly idea
Dec 14 16:37:03 <blabberp> lol, heh, i'm in kinda uncharted territory...  progress is slow but sure  :-)  thanks for your help there mate - i appreciate it
Dec 14 17:13:37 <EvilDevil> hello
Dec 14 18:45:30 <soonbaek> hi!  is anyone using the OpenSlug?
Dec 14 18:48:47 <soonbaek> ???
Dec 14 18:48:52 <EvilDevil> not yet
Dec 14 18:49:27 <soonbaek> hi EvilDevil.  what are you using? Unslung?
Dec 14 18:49:52 <EvilDevil> yes, i'm using unslung 5.5 at the moment
Dec 14 18:51:29 <soonbaek> hmmm...  maybe i'll post my question at the yahoo group.  thanks evil!
Dec 14 18:52:53 <EvilDevil> no prob...
