Feb 09 16:46:16 <Tenkawa> greetings
Feb 09 16:46:25 * Tenkawa just picked up a nslu2 today
Feb 09 16:50:12 <Tenkawa> bbl
Feb 09 16:58:05 <pumpkin0> Any it's still alive ?
Feb 09 16:58:43 <EvilDevil> hu?
Feb 09 17:17:12 <pumpkin0> "Tenkawa just picked up a nslu2 today" => went offline. So i guess it stopped working.
Feb 09 17:26:28 <EvilDevil> vague guess ;) he's propably overwhelmed by all the things the slug can do
Feb 09 18:38:31 <Mika_> hello all
Feb 09 20:20:00 <pumpkin0> Tenkawa: how's the slug working  ?
Feb 09 20:23:42 <Tenkawa> pumpkin0: havent been home to fire it up yet
Feb 09 20:23:52 <Tenkawa> sitting here on my desk at work in the box :(
Feb 09 20:24:36 <Tenkawa> just researching how I'm going to get debian on this puppy
Feb 09 21:35:51 <pumpkin0> Tenkawa: install openslug and have a look at the ups and downs of this thing. Afterwards move to debian if you want to have more choice of packages. Or stay with openslug if webserver, streaming, fileservers and DBs are enough for you. No point in overloading the thing first go.
Feb 09 21:54:04 <Tenkawa> ok I'm home now.. now to figure out how to get oenslug on here
Feb 09 22:00:34 <Tenkawa> hmm
Feb 09 22:00:39 <Tenkawa> it doesnt see my drive
Feb 09 22:01:25 <Tenkawa> might have to put a real drive in instead of a compact flaah microdrive
Feb 09 22:03:50 <Tenkawa> telling me drive 2 not formatted but wont let me eother
Feb 09 22:03:55 <Tenkawa> er either
Feb 09 22:06:52 <Tenkawa> this makes 0 sense
Feb 09 22:15:57 <Tenkawa> well my real drive works at least
Feb 09 22:39:04 <Tenkawa> whats openslugs default ip?
Feb 09 22:39:04 <Tenkawa> du: `/flash/root/.elinks': Permission denied
Feb 09 22:39:10 <Tenkawa> oops sorry
Feb 09 22:40:24 <EvilDevil> 192.168.0.77 i think
Feb 09 22:43:16 <Tenkawa> intriguing
Feb 09 22:43:25 <Tenkawa> it maintained my ip I had assigned it
Feb 09 22:43:55 <EvilDevil> nice slug ;)
Feb 09 22:44:50 <Tenkawa> well its running
Feb 09 22:47:07 <Eiffel_> the ip is stored somewhere in the redboot i think
Feb 09 22:48:13 <Tenkawa> ahhh
Feb 09 22:48:18 <Tenkawa> that would make sense
Feb 09 22:48:37 <Tenkawa> well this is pretty nifty
Feb 09 22:48:53 <Tenkawa> all I need to do now is set up an arm cross compiler
Feb 09 22:50:09 <Tenkawa> this will make a nice headless cli box
Feb 09 22:51:14 <Tenkawa> turnup disk init running
Feb 09 22:51:28 <Tenkawa> this should be interesting
Feb 09 22:54:08 <Tenkawa> yay it worked
Feb 09 22:58:32 <Tenkawa> this is way cool
Feb 09 22:59:00 <EvilDevil> :)
Feb 09 23:00:21 <Tenkawa> just ran an ipkg update and lets see what we got :)
Feb 09 23:01:13 <Tenkawa> man and I thought my wrap single board was cool
Feb 09 23:02:40 <Tenkawa> hell with openslug's robustness in ipkg I may not even bother putting debian on here
Feb 09 23:06:48 <EvilDevil> you'll consider it when you need some packages that aren't available for openslug ;)
Feb 09 23:07:22 <Tenkawa> I can just compile them
Feb 09 23:07:23 <Tenkawa>  :)
Feb 09 23:08:21 <Tenkawa> I don't plan on doing a _LOT_ on here
Feb 09 23:08:34 <Tenkawa> I just like embedded macines
Feb 09 23:08:48 <Tenkawa> I already run a WRAP and a EPIA V as wel
Feb 09 23:08:49 <Tenkawa> l
Feb 09 23:10:53 <EvilDevil> yeah... this is fun :) i'm running linux on my linksys wrt54g, my linksys nslu2 and my nokia dbox2 (dvb-s receiver) 
Feb 09 23:11:45 <Tenkawa> I was running linux on a wrt54gs until it fried
Feb 09 23:12:20 <Tenkawa> heh oops
Feb 09 23:13:56 <Tenkawa> you using the clock mod on your slug?
Feb 09 23:14:26 <EvilDevil> 133 to 266 mhz? yep
Feb 09 23:14:42 <Tenkawa> it been stable?
Feb 09 23:15:19 <Tenkawa> I'm pondering how long a 3amp/hr battery pack would keep it running
Feb 09 23:15:33 <EvilDevil> rock-stable :) even without additional cooling. i had uptimes > 14 days... 
Feb 09 23:15:39 <Tenkawa> cool
Feb 09 23:16:00 <EvilDevil> got it hooked up on a UPS
Feb 09 23:16:09 <Tenkawa> I meant for using outdoors
Feb 09 23:16:24 <EvilDevil> i know :)
Feb 09 23:16:27 <Tenkawa> I have a ups in here too but I'm pondering non ac/dc available applications
Feb 09 23:16:41 <Tenkawa> like my go kart
Feb 09 23:16:46 <Tenkawa> heheeheh
Feb 09 23:17:23 * Tenkawa compiles pork and irssi
Feb 09 23:18:08 <EvilDevil> okay.... since i've heard that somone is using its slug to capture data on his rocket, nothing can shock me now
Feb 09 23:19:17 <Tenkawa> haaahaa
Feb 09 23:19:20 <Tenkawa> kinda ironic
Feb 09 23:19:29 <Tenkawa> considering thats what I was going to do on the kart
Feb 09 23:19:33 <Tenkawa> is data collection
Feb 09 23:19:57 <Tenkawa> race kart..
Feb 09 23:20:00 <Tenkawa> afk
Feb 09 23:20:16 <EvilDevil> :)
Feb 09 23:22:07 <Tenkawa> back
Feb 09 23:27:41 <Tenkawa> ipkg upgrade time :)
Feb 09 23:28:14 <Tenkawa> that was quick
Feb 09 23:30:52 <EvilDevil> ;) haven't used ipkg for some time
Feb 09 23:31:15 <Tenkawa> well I just used it to grab the core stuff and compiler
Feb 09 23:31:24 <Tenkawa> now I'm compiling screen, irssi, and pork
Feb 09 23:32:37 <Tenkawa> sure hope this gcc is set to limit memory usage or I'm gonig to core dump
Feb 09 23:32:54 <EvilDevil> haven't set up swap?
Feb 09 23:33:11 <Tenkawa> not yet
Feb 09 23:33:17 <Tenkawa> ahh crap
Feb 09 23:33:39 <EvilDevil> would be a good thing to do especially if you're compiling ;)
Feb 09 23:33:42 <Tenkawa> wheew
Feb 09 23:33:51 <Tenkawa> I thought I hadnt created a swap partition
Feb 09 23:33:54 <Tenkawa> fortuately I had
Feb 09 23:33:59 <Tenkawa> now to turn it on
Feb 09 23:34:25 <EvilDevil> mkswap /dev/sda2  swapon /dev/sda2 ;)
Feb 09 23:34:29 <Tenkawa> only 128 meg of swap but if need be I can use cooked
Feb 09 23:34:52 <EvilDevil> you can use an swap file too ;)
Feb 09 23:35:19 <Tenkawa> yep.. cooked
Feb 09 23:35:46 <Tenkawa> bbiaf.. need more tea
Feb 09 23:36:40 <Tenkawa> back
Feb 09 23:52:49 * Tenkawa is suprised screen hasnt been packeged up in ipkg collection
Feb 09 23:53:09 <Tenkawa> er packaged
Feb 09 23:55:46 <Tenkawa> Linux slug 2.6.12.2 #1 Tue Sep 27 20:21:18 CDT 2005 armv5teb unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Feb 09 23:55:50 <Tenkawa> cool :)
Feb 10 02:59:19 <Tenkawa> :)
Feb 10 02:59:23 <Tenkawa> Linux slug 2.6.12.2 #1 Tue Sep 27 20:21:18 CDT 2005 armv5teb unknown unknown GNU/Linux
Feb 10 02:59:26 <Tenkawa> :)
Feb 10 10:12:15 <Tenkawa> does a 1 cpu load for an idle nslu2 with openslug seem odd?
