Feb 17 17:27:16 is anyone here? Feb 17 17:27:38 hi Feb 17 17:28:43 I think I need help... I am trying to build/make a library and application on the slug and so far, I get many error messages... Feb 17 17:29:50 I have set up the native developpement tools on my slug and "make" always gives me errors. The lates is "curses.h not found" Feb 17 17:30:07 any ideas? Feb 17 17:32:35 oups, wrong channel I think... Feb 17 17:33:24 I'll try on the devel channel... Feb 17 18:31:52 i would like to add a DVD burner via USB to my unslung nslu2 with the aim of burning data from the attached hard disk ... is this possible ? Feb 17 18:41:09 It is possible, but it will require some compiling ... Feb 17 18:42:03 aha ... so its no just a matter of finding the appropriate linux drivers for the burner i buy ? Feb 17 18:43:26 You need cdrecord & co under unslug. These packages are not available in the standard feeds. (You don't need driver, most burnners should work as USB-SCSI-Device) Feb 17 18:43:49 ok Feb 17 18:43:50 thanks Feb 17 18:44:57 Just make sure the device is using a standard protocol. If you buy something with funny windows drivers... Feb 17 18:47:01 read this: http://linux.sgms-centre.com/howto/cdwriting/02.php . And keep in mind burnning will nit be very fast. i guess maximum 4-6 MB/s Feb 17 18:48:35 what is limit the burning speed ? Feb 17 18:53:04 cdrecord and mkisofs have to work at the same time. Max HD -> HD copy speed is around 8MB/s. I sustract a bit for the CPU overhead. hey !! Feb 17 19:34:43 I am getting ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for alsa-utils: alsa-lib when attempting to install alsa-util. Anyone got a clue? Accordings to the release notes, alsa-lib is part of 2.7 release.. Feb 17 19:35:14 ...on openslug Feb 17 19:59:52 zahlala: did you try to install alsa-lib first ? Feb 17 20:24:42 pumpkin0: if I try doing so, it complains that it cannot satify the dependency. also 'ipkg list' doesn't show ala-lib.. Feb 17 20:25:37 OK, search the lib using ipkgfind.nslu2-linx.org . Feb 17 20:26:45 " Feb 17 20:26:45 Sorry, no packages found. Feb 17 20:26:45 " Feb 17 20:27:14 I wonder why alsa-utils was added and the dependency was not.. Feb 17 20:28:30 That's a bug in the package-headers. Figure out how is the maintainer and yell^H^H^H^H ask him to do something... Feb 17 20:32:32 ok, just wrote him a mail. Feb 17 21:02:52 Hey Feb 17 21:03:09 If i wanted to use a usb hub with my Slug, is there any particular type i should use? Feb 17 21:03:21 Ie ones with mains power leads, or are the ones that are bus powered fine? Feb 17 21:03:54 Use one with mains power. The PSU on the slug is not that strong.
