Jan 10 06:41:57 <NSLU2-IRC> who
Jan 10 06:43:08 <NSLU2-IRC> Hello out there! Could someone help me with a login problem please?
Jan 10 06:46:51 <jesusch_> just ask your question, but this channel isn't really busy
Jan 10 06:48:51 <NSLU2-IRC> Thanks for your reply! Thought with that usrName I'll get ignored...but I haven't any YahooID :) Alright, let's go:
Jan 10 06:49:17 <NSLU2-IRC> I've unslung my NSLU & everything worked fine.
Jan 10 06:52:09 <NSLU2-IRC> I went to sleep & today I can't login as root. Well, I've unatteched the disk...boot...login with uNSLUng and set a new passwd & copied it to /share/flash/conf/passwd and /share/flash/data/usr/local/passwd.
Jan 10 06:52:27 <NSLU2-IRC> NSLU works!
Jan 10 06:54:36 <NSLU2-IRC> Then I've installed openssh & could putty on it...but now after a reboot (it took ~5 Minutes: strange!?) teh only thing I get out of the box ist: Login incorrect! Why the hell is it like that? Any suggestions?
Jan 10 06:57:10 <jesusch_> sorry no idea
Jan 10 06:57:30 <jesusch_> have you already tried unslug default login/pw?
Jan 10 06:58:09 <NSLU2-IRC> Yep, but it only works with the disks unattached...
Jan 10 06:58:25 <NSLU2-IRC> Really strange behavior ;)
Jan 10 06:58:53 <jesusch_> sry haven't tried unslug (yet?)
Jan 10 06:59:06 <jesusch_> only openslug + debian armeb
Jan 10 06:59:37 <jesusch_> . o O (without raid support)
Jan 10 06:59:38 <NSLU2-IRC> Maybe I should try this one...
Jan 10 06:59:57 <jesusch_> no ipv6 also :/
Jan 10 07:01:33 <NSLU2-IRC> What is really strange is that I boot with unattached disk, login, attache the disk, cat /share/flash/etc/passwd & I get the passwd I've set >:)
Jan 10 07:04:27 <jesusch_> just as a guess, but is unslug using shadow passwords or direct passwd?
Jan 10 07:04:48 <NSLU2-IRC> direct pwd
Jan 10 07:05:06 <NSLU2-IRC> theres no ./shadow file in the rootfs
Jan 10 07:05:30 <jesusch_> strange 
Jan 10 07:05:44 <NSLU2-IRC> Maybe the logout process went wrong & the root account is disabled!?
Jan 10 07:06:16 <NSLU2-IRC> But this would be a really strange behaviour for a linux machine :/
Jan 10 07:08:21 <NSLU2-IRC> Guess the only way is to unattach, cp new passwd to external disk & reboot. Will see when I've to repeat the procedure :)
Jan 10 07:10:03 <NSLU2-IRC> Do you now any unslung devel channel where I can find someone really involved into unslung?
Jan 10 07:13:58 <NSLU2-IRC> uups..
Jan 10 07:37:11 <MakMoer> hi..anyone using their slug with ppp ?
Jan 10 08:51:13 <sascha__> Hi!
Jan 10 08:59:44 <sascha__> exit

Jan 10 12:41:10 <Mika_> better*
Jan 10 12:41:23 <caplink811_log> hm, things going, as things going, business as usual
Jan 10 12:42:23 <Mika_> yes u need to work.. you need it for your hobby`s
Jan 10 12:42:47 <caplink811_log> but the employer spend some courses, a few days in feb and march in england :)
Jan 10 12:43:45 <Mika_> nice..nice trip also..
Jan 10 12:43:51 <Mika_> with plane or car ?
Jan 10 12:45:20 <caplink811_log> with plane i think, only chance, meeting starts Monday at 10:30 am, and i wouldn't travel at sunday
Jan 10 12:45:24 <Mika_> because with car you can stay longer to take a short hollyday or not
Jan 10 12:45:28 <Mika_> ok
Jan 10 12:45:52 <Mika_> i understand
Jan 10 12:46:51 <caplink811_log> and left stearing ?! against right steering, i'm a little scary about this
Jan 10 12:48:12 <Mika_> yes that is true...but i think it feels normal after 30 minutes..only when u stop en get back in the car you must think verry good what you do
Jan 10 12:50:18 <caplink811_log> and my target is in or nearly by london, so, imho city traffic isn't the right environment to exercise
Jan 10 12:50:23 <Mika_> nice : http://www.artlebedev.com/portfolio/optimus/
Jan 10 12:50:49 <Mika_> yes that is true ..so take your grilfriend with you at the plane :)
Jan 10 12:50:56 <Mika_> and get a nice hotel in londen
Jan 10 12:53:22 <caplink811_log> because i travel with a company ticket, there is no possibility for that, in addition someone (gf) have to tend the cats
Jan 10 12:54:04 <caplink811_log> and someone (gf) have to earn money while i'm on "holiday" <eg>
Jan 10 12:54:46 <Mika_> hehehe de last is a good reason :) the cats can u drop here for a fewdays :D
Jan 10 12:58:52 <Mika_> i am out for a wile .. i wil speak u later caplink811_log 
Jan 10 13:04:35 <mda> caplink811_log: you rang?
Jan 10 13:15:59 <caplink811_log> mda, yes
Jan 10 13:16:22 <caplink811_log> read your mail at the list, nice progress, and a nice find-out too
Jan 10 13:17:05 <caplink811_log> discovery i meant
Jan 10 13:18:18 <mda> my current headache -- it seems that the system puts stuff in /share/hdd/conf even if the unsling was to disk2
Jan 10 13:18:28 <mda> i didn't realize there was a first among equals.
Jan 10 13:19:17 <mda> so now I'm thinking i have to move my disk2 to the disk1 slot. dunno if all i have to do is create a /.sda1root and not run unsling
Jan 10 13:19:39 <caplink811_log> that could be linksys logic, two disk, each are "equal" (paritions), who wants to decide which conf partition should used
Jan 10 13:20:02 <mda> in particular, the /share/hdd/conf/passwd symbolic link
Jan 10 13:21:24 <caplink811_log> imho, the linksys logic, is, when it is there, than pefer the disk 1
Jan 10 13:21:45 <caplink811_log> ~s/pefer/prefer/
Jan 10 13:22:56 <caplink811_log> when you run a unsling disk1 sometimes before, that could work for you, but you should copy /etc from disk2 to disk1
Jan 10 13:23:43 <caplink811_log> and disk2 /usr/lib/ipkg to disk1 (because you lost your installed packages list)
Jan 10 13:25:07 <mda> i'm going to try: (a) reboot with no disks, telnet and mv /.sdb1root /sda1root (b) shut down, swap disks in usb ports (c) reboot and cross fingers
Jan 10 13:25:10 <mda> what do you think?
Jan 10 13:25:14 <caplink811_log> in short, you should copy the whole contents from disk2 to disk1 exclude /.sdb1root
Jan 10 13:26:01 <soundavinci> HELLO togehter
Jan 10 13:26:03 <caplink811_log> if you hadn't made any changes on disk2 since the last unsling on disk1, yes, that should work
Jan 10 13:26:07 <caplink811_log> hi soundavinci 
Jan 10 13:26:31 <soundavinci> Hi caplink thank you for your great help on unslung
Jan 10 13:26:36 <caplink811_log> no problem
Jan 10 13:27:25 <soundavinci> the reason why im here in the irc is that i have a big problem with my openslug instalation
Jan 10 13:27:53 <soundavinci> is here anyone who use openslug?
Jan 10 13:28:05 <caplink811_log> basically
Jan 10 13:28:34 <caplink811_log> just define your problem, and we'll see
Jan 10 13:28:49 <soundavinci> my question is, i cannot mount /dev/sdd1, because their is no /dev/sdd1 in the dev 
Jan 10 13:30:45 <caplink811_log> but you have sdc major 8 minor 32?
Jan 10 13:31:22 <soundavinci> yes i have sdc but what do you mean by major 8 minor 32?
Jan 10 13:33:06 <caplink811_log> you list in ls -la as sdc 8,32 (which is the device makor and minor number)
Jan 10 13:34:09 <erq> anyone here having problems with large files (>4G) on samba 3.0.20-r2 and openslug 2.7b?
Jan 10 13:34:59 <soundavinci> yes sdc major 8 minor 32 is in the list, but no sdd
Jan 10 13:37:14 <drif> anyone using unslung 5.5b on usb-flash?
Jan 10 13:37:24 <soundavinci> btw i'm using openslug 2.7b
Jan 10 13:37:55 <caplink811_log> you could try a -> mknod /dev/sdd b 8 48
Jan 10 13:38:30 <soundavinci> yes i will try, one moment please
Jan 10 13:38:44 <caplink811_log> and then mknod /dev/sdd1 b 8 49 and so on
Jan 10 13:39:54 <caplink811_log> erq,  i know, that there are problems in the past, but samba-3.0.20 should solved this
Jan 10 13:40:37 <soundavinci> thank you caplink, great ,now its working, but why
Jan 10 13:41:11 <caplink811_log> erq,  if there are problems, you may talk with NaIL at #openslug or #nslu2-linux, this guy is the package maintainer, imho
Jan 10 13:42:15 <erq> caplink811: Ok, I will. Since my files shows with the correct sizes when i look at them internally on the slug and also when i look at them on the ftp
Jan 10 13:42:17 <caplink811_log> soundavinci,  dunno, maybe that the script that is equal to unsling (upslug?) fails, or forgot to make that nodes
Jan 10 13:44:25 <soundavinci> Thank you very much caplink811, i will see how the mknod will work, bye...
Jan 10 13:44:33 <caplink811_log> no problem
Jan 10 13:45:32 <caplink811_log> turnup, i menat
Jan 10 13:45:39 <caplink811_log> meant, grmpf
Jan 10 13:53:17 <mda> here is a tip: instead of rebooting without disks just to get at internal flash, do this: mount /dev/mtdblock4 /mnt/tmpmnt
Jan 10 13:59:40 <erq> anyone here running unslung and handles large files (>4G) over samba?
Jan 10 14:00:05 <caplink811_log> as i ask - a quick way to generate such a file?
Jan 10 14:00:32 <erq> caplink811: you are fast! =)
Jan 10 14:02:34 <caplink811_log> slug is working on dd, stay tuned
Jan 10 14:13:14 <caplink811_log> dd is on work, back in 10 minutes
Jan 10 14:36:28 <drif> can I simply dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb to safely wipe data off my usb-stick?
Jan 10 15:15:01 <erq> caplink811: did it work?
Jan 10 15:23:43 <caplink811_log> erq|away,  for the logs (sorry, had a telephone call)
Jan 10 15:24:05 <caplink811_log> -rw-------   1 root  root     5242880000 Jan 10 22:17 testfile
Jan 10 15:25:18 <caplink811_log> win explorer ( via samba 3.0.14 imho and uNSLUng-5.5) shows that file with a size if 5.120.000 KB
Jan 10 15:26:33 <caplink811_log> a ftp-client lists that file with a size of 5242880000 byte
Jan 10 15:26:44 <caplink811_log> so, yes, it should work
Jan 10 17:27:03 <drif> anyone around?
Jan 10 17:40:27 <Secutor_> drif: did you try the dd if= action?
Jan 10 17:41:29 <drif> secutor: yup, that screwed up the partition table - also attached usb-card to my linux machine and emptied the table with fdisk
Jan 10 17:41:49 <Secutor_> yikes!!!
Jan 10 17:42:07 <drif> now I'm able to mount it but it doesn't recognize it at the Disk Utility page
Jan 10 17:43:04 <Secutor_> sorry, I can't help, I'm just tuning in to the nslu2 technology.
Jan 10 17:43:15 <drif> Disk 2/Flash:  Ready, 0MB (0% Free)
Jan 10 17:43:35 <drif> interface says that :P and I'm able to write to /share/flash/data
Jan 10 17:48:14 <ByronT> that's a Linksys bug
Jan 10 17:48:49 <ByronT> and since Unslung 5.5 is derived from the Linksys firmware that contained that bug, the bug still exists in Unslung 5.5
Jan 10 17:50:30 <drif> byront: is there any way to prevent it?
Jan 10 17:52:12 <ByronT> build unslung 6.x from head and become an alpha tester
Jan 10 17:52:25 <ByronT> or wait for unslung 6.x binary to be released
Jan 10 17:52:58 <drif> nothing I can do with the stick's structure?
Jan 10 17:53:29 <drif> that stick has worked before - but then I decided to use hdd :-\
Jan 10 17:53:58 <ByronT> I was referring to the display of the "
Jan 10 17:54:04 <ByronT> 0% free"
Jan 10 17:54:09 <ByronT> in the web interface
Jan 10 17:54:19 <drif> well, that's not the point here :-\ sadly
Jan 10 17:54:42 <drif> I can mount my usb-stick - but it doesn't recognize it anymore at the "Disk Utility" page
Jan 10 17:55:26 <ByronT> meaning you can't format it?
Jan 10 17:55:32 <drif> and with mounting I mean mount from shell on my another nslu2 unit
Jan 10 17:55:39 <drif> yep, cannot format
Jan 10 17:55:53 <ByronT> how big is the stick?
Jan 10 17:55:56 <drif> 1Gig
Jan 10 17:56:01 <drif> and has worked before
Jan 10 17:57:00 <drif> could I use fdisk on my linux machine and restore sticks state so it could be recognized?
Jan 10 17:58:36 <ByronT> it's worth a try - if there's nothing on the stick, why not try wipe it clean and then see what happens
Jan 10 17:58:40 <drif> I've tried empty table and one primary Id83
Jan 10 17:59:09 <drif> well, I tried to ask how to clean the disc on both channels here :-\ but pretty much ignored me
Jan 10 17:59:20 <ByronT> just remember, that the "Ready, 0MB (0% free)" is a display bug
Jan 10 17:59:21 <drif> stick
Jan 10 17:59:34 <ByronT> you have windows box?
Jan 10 18:00:01 <drif> yes
Jan 10 18:00:05 <drif> and linux
Jan 10 18:00:15 <drif> and another nslu2
Jan 10 18:00:41 <ByronT> right click "My Computer", "Manage", Disk Management on the window that pops up
Jan 10 18:01:03 <ByronT> wipe clean any partitions, format it FAT, whatever...
Jan 10 18:01:08 <drif> I know my way around windows :P I tried that previously - tried both FAT and FAT32
Jan 10 18:01:22 <ByronT> then don't put a partition on it
Jan 10 18:01:25 <drif> although I might have screwed up the partition table with dd by that time
Jan 10 18:01:48 <drif> there were no option to delete the existing partition on Disk Management
Jan 10 18:01:53 <drif> which made me wonder :-\
Jan 10 18:02:10 <ByronT> could you create a partition?
Jan 10 18:02:13 <drif> nope
Jan 10 18:02:18 <drif> it was 'already' there
Jan 10 18:02:42 <drif> wait a sec - I'll once more clean up the partition table with fdisk and then use win box
Jan 10 18:02:45 <drif> brb
Jan 10 18:03:47 <drif> now at the win machine
Jan 10 18:04:38 <drif> deleted the partition on linux machine and wrote the table
Jan 10 18:04:46 <drif> then moved the stick to win machine
Jan 10 18:05:34 <drif> disk manager says 961MB FAT Healthy
Jan 10 18:05:45 <drif> and there should be no partitions
Jan 10 18:05:54 <drif> although I'm not sure how flash-memory works
Jan 10 18:06:33 <ByronT> I've never used usb sticks either :)
Jan 10 18:06:50 <ByronT> well, not for unslinging that is
Jan 10 18:07:21 <drif> I once did - just to test it out - but then I decided to use hdd instead
Jan 10 18:07:39 <ByronT> I wonder if you're just going to use it for storage/sharing, if maybe you should use the Linksys windows utility to prep the stick
Jan 10 18:08:01 <drif> who said I'm using it for storage? I'm trying unsling to it
Jan 10 18:08:10 <drif> I don't have a spare external hdd
Jan 10 18:08:29 <ByronT> ah
Jan 10 18:08:58 <ByronT> then you probably need to partition it by hand - search the wiiki for instructions
Jan 10 18:09:20 <drif> ah, I haven't used any of those linksys softwares - there's such software on CD?
Jan 10 18:11:12 <ByronT> if you want to unsling to it, then you can't used the linksys software to prep it
Jan 10 18:11:21 <drif> why?
Jan 10 18:13:30 <ByronT> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseAMemoryStickAsMainDrive
Jan 10 18:15:22 <drif> thanks, I've browsed so many of those pages my eyes must have skipped that crucial part
Jan 10 18:15:57 <ByronT> "search" is your friend
Jan 10 18:16:00 <ByronT> ;)
Jan 10 18:16:26 <drif> although there's one thing that has stopped me - the instructions clearly forbid you to proceed if the device you're going to unsling to be can't be recognized
Jan 10 18:16:41 <drif> and in order to login to shell I need unslung :-\
Jan 10 18:17:03 <drif> which concerns Faking the slug part
Jan 10 18:18:00 <ByronT> you only need it as firmware, but that has nothing to do with booting up without the stick attached (and then attaching it after boot)
Jan 10 18:19:43 <drif> this still doesn't explain why the stick worked fine (and got recognized) when I bought it :-\
Jan 10 18:20:24 <ByronT> define "worked fine" - as in worked fine with Linksys firmware R63?
Jan 10 18:20:35 <drif> with the original firmware
Jan 10 18:20:45 <drif> below R63
Jan 10 18:21:09 <ByronT> but unslinging is a bit different - quite a bit different
Jan 10 18:23:07 <drif> could very well be - but I'd like to have things atleast they were before
Jan 10 18:27:33 <drif> byron: I know you're trying to help but I'm but frustrated with this thing
Jan 10 18:27:47 <drif> s/but/bit/
Jan 10 18:32:37 <ByronT> you can always go back to straight linksys firmware and then get the stick working with it
Jan 10 18:32:49 <ByronT> no reason to get frustrated
Jan 10 18:32:56 <drif> I AM using linksys firmware :P
Jan 10 18:33:28 <ByronT> oh... then don't get upset with us.... ;)
Jan 10 18:33:52 <ByronT> cause we have no affiliatiation with linksys other than being customers
Jan 10 18:34:16 <drif> I know - I just wanted some help to get rid of this
Jan 10 18:34:24 <ByronT> for that matter, you could just call their support
Jan 10 18:52:29 <drif> lol. these support people are great ;P 
Jan 10 18:53:04 <drif> you can clearly tell how she's browsing through some insturction manual and has no idea what I'm talking about :P
Jan 10 18:55:55 <ByronT> you're usually lucky if you can understand them - the last time (and only time) I ever called them, I could barely understand the person through their heavy Indian accent
Jan 10 18:56:13 <drif> I'm using text actually
Jan 10 18:56:18 <drif> way too late here to call
