**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Dec 28 02:59:58 2005 Dec 28 07:44:57 hi all Dec 28 07:45:44 can someone confirm if the nfsd kernel server module used in openslug really only supports v2? Dec 28 12:12:58 Anyone have a ruler handy and can measure the nslu2 board size? Dec 28 12:16:05 It's a bit lonely in here... Dec 28 12:25:23 sgmiller, from the datasheet, case is 130.1x20.7x90.5mm Dec 28 12:25:48 the board is around 5-10mm smaller in lenght and wide Dec 28 12:26:34 Thanks! Dec 28 12:27:10 that gives me an idea, how difficult would it be to get an exact number? Dec 28 12:27:28 I'm trying to see if I can fit it in the card guides for one of the boxes that these guys sell: Dec 28 12:27:36 www.lincolnbins.com Dec 28 12:28:08 oops: www.lincolnbinns.com Dec 28 12:29:03 looks like my choices are 55, 100, and 160. Dec 28 12:31:11 sgmiller, search someone, who'll shut down his slug, and open the case (not me->bad uptime then ;)) Dec 28 12:32:19 cap, Thanks, fair enough... mine is on the way.. Dec 28 12:35:21 why want you put it in an alu case? Dec 28 12:36:22 I'm going to try to integrate it with a USB io module and seal the whole thing up (maybe with a small fan) Dec 28 13:45:38 hi anyone running syslog-ng ? Dec 28 13:45:46 cant get mine to work.... Dec 28 13:46:36 what have you tried, what have you read? Dec 28 13:46:40 when I try to start it (think I´m trying to start the right file) Dec 28 13:46:55 I read on www.nslu2-linux.org Dec 28 13:47:08 but not much info there and I have google it Dec 28 13:47:22 2 sec I give you more info Dec 28 13:48:35 ahhh Dec 28 13:48:43 now I get the same error Dec 28 13:48:45 # ./syslog-ng Dec 28 13:48:45 unresolved reference: console Dec 28 13:48:45 Error initializing configuration, exiting. Dec 28 13:48:45 # Dec 28 13:49:07 like the write on nslu2-linux.org Dec 28 13:49:11 that is normal and correct, because you don't have a console (i assume) Dec 28 13:49:28 you should have a look at that thread http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/10347 Dec 28 13:50:35 k tnx :) Dec 28 13:51:50 or you can use this one http://pastebin.com/482035 , that works too Dec 28 13:52:21 ok I have a look Dec 28 13:52:23 tnx :) Dec 28 13:52:28 no problem Dec 28 14:08:17 hi all; where do I find information on how to use an USB-Stick as root-device for Unslung? Dec 28 14:09:48 it's the same as a hard drive in port 2, isn't it? Dec 28 14:10:31 unless its formatted with FATXX Dec 28 14:10:39 I have no idea about that either ... ;) Dec 28 14:10:59 :p Dec 28 14:11:09 tell me more ;) Dec 28 14:11:29 there was a thing in the unslung readme saying what to do to actually copy the root filesystem Dec 28 14:11:32 ill try and find it for you Dec 28 14:11:37 thank Dec 28 14:11:38 s Dec 28 14:13:14 Madkiss, http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseAMemoryStickAsMainDrive Dec 28 14:14:09 thanks Dec 28 14:14:24 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/MoreFlashRootHints Dec 28 14:14:26 if that helps Dec 28 14:15:10 since april in the wiki, never saw that before, tsts Dec 28 14:16:59 Do I get it right that there is some "format"-option in the firmware that allows you just to select a flash drive and use that as boot partition? I plan to use a 256MB Stick Dec 28 14:27:45 in short you must use unslung for such a stick (size), and as the wiki paged mentoned you need a running *x system to format the stick, and then you have to "fake" the linksys format Dec 28 14:28:05 whatever. Why do I want to stop the slug to use swapspace? Dec 28 14:28:25 read/write cycles on the stick Dec 28 14:28:36 hu? Dec 28 14:30:29 manufacturers guarantees (imho) ~100000 read/write cycles on a mem stick Dec 28 14:31:47 ah, I se Dec 28 14:31:50 e Dec 28 14:34:54 so, I could basically put all the stuff on a "conf" partition and leave it for good? That's cool. Dec 28 14:36:53 so this thing will become a completely working print server Dec 28 14:40:07 wb Boomcar Dec 28 14:40:10 did it work? Dec 28 14:40:36 man Dec 28 14:40:42 what a night Dec 28 14:40:51 I couldn't sleep Dec 28 14:40:59 and I woke up? early Dec 28 14:41:10 the slug was still flickering! Dec 28 14:41:16 :x Dec 28 14:41:21 I shut down the slug and hd Dec 28 14:41:38 fired up the slug and after it had booted I started the hd Dec 28 14:41:43 guess what Dec 28 14:41:48 it worked Dec 28 14:41:50 :D Dec 28 14:41:55 only apache etc didn't Dec 28 14:42:01 but I saw my files Dec 28 14:42:15 I bought a ups and installed it Dec 28 14:42:22 guess what Dec 28 14:42:26 ebuyer screwed up for me :/ Dec 28 14:42:29 so my ups isn't coming Dec 28 14:42:42 it was meant to come tomorrow, but i got a phone call (whilst i wasn't in) saying they've been recalled Dec 28 14:42:44 it doesn't work anymore?!!! Dec 28 14:42:49 so i don't know whats happening Dec 28 14:42:57 mmmm Dec 28 14:42:58 Boomcar: it just stays flickering? Dec 28 14:43:13 when I boot with the hd attached : yes Dec 28 14:43:22 when I boot the hd after.... Dec 28 14:43:26 not installed! Dec 28 14:49:49 it is ugly... but you could try to plug the slugdisk to your suse-live pc, mount /dev/sdb2 and backup your data files Dec 28 14:49:53 morning btw Dec 28 14:55:00 I think I will do that Dec 28 14:55:38 I just did a mount /mnt/tmpmnt or something and the disk is present Dec 28 14:55:51 but how do I backup from there using telnet Dec 28 14:59:18 can't try that, but maybe that \\ip_ogf_your_slug\admin 1 show you /mnt/tmpmnt and the content of the mounted hd Dec 28 15:00:18 k Dec 28 15:01:52 doesn't work Dec 28 15:02:04 the disk is mounted in telnet Dec 28 15:02:17 can we check a few configs or something?

Dec 28 15:44:38 the readme that comes with the binary takes you through the complete process of loading the binary onto the nslu2, and then you can search the wiki for specific questions for packages Dec 28 15:46:46 ok Dec 28 15:47:04 Byron can i ask some questions in pm? Dec 28 15:47:05 Boomcar, have you tried (in explorer) \\ip_of_slug\admin 1 ? (the blank between admin and 1 is important Dec 28 15:47:15 yes Dec 28 15:47:36 Boomcar: winblows is sensitive to workgroup information, you should check the web interface (if that is accessible) for workgroup setting and make sure the winblows computer is on the same one Dec 28 15:48:48 it isn't Dec 28 15:49:04 caplink Dec 28 15:49:35 I appreciate your help, but I am calling it a night,...it has been a hard day...

Dec 28 15:56:33 there is a page in the wiki, which desribes the procedure Dec 28 15:56:39 read the README.... it tells you to test telnetting into redboot so that even if a bad flash occurs, you can self recover Dec 28 15:57:02 i saw it lol just want some personal experiance opinion lol Dec 28 15:57:23 does it make me scrach my ear? Dec 28 15:57:31 when it happens Dec 28 15:57:33 lol Dec 28 15:57:39 depends a little on your environment, for me it is easier from linux Dec 28 15:58:25 can i use knoppix Dec 28 15:58:34 sure Dec 28 15:58:56 is that better or can i do it with windows os? Dec 28 15:58:59 to Dec 28 15:59:39 as described on the wiki page, it should work with linux and win, but in my environment, linux just work better Dec 28 15:59:59 only my personal experience Dec 28 16:00:15 ok Dec 28 16:01:03 there a no screenshots of the unslung interfase on the wiki righ? Dec 28 16:01:13 right?
