**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 02 10:59:56 2006 Mar 02 13:48:49 can u make a x86 binarie for linux work on a nslu2 when you have no source ? Mar 02 13:52:50 good question maybe you can use qemu to do so Mar 02 13:53:52 qemu is like vmware or not ? i use it here in ubuntu and let win98 run in qemu Mar 02 13:55:12 but can you also emu 1 file with that ? Mar 02 13:56:33 hm no i think you will need to emulate an x86 pc running linux with qemu and run the file in there Mar 02 13:57:17 i am not sure if that will work but there is an ipkg paket of qemu for the slug Mar 02 13:57:45 so i think somebody has done something like that Mar 02 13:58:31 yes i have seen that but there is no other option... Mar 02 13:58:48 i dont like this option so much because i think it is not stable Mar 02 14:00:29 maintainer: Josh Parsons Mar 02 14:00:30 and it was just for a test to try gbox (a dreambox program) let run on a nslu Mar 02 14:00:50 i can email him and ask Mar 02 14:01:08 maybe if you ask this person as he is the package creator he could have some ideas Mar 02 14:02:33 yes i write him a email now thx for helping.. Mar 02 14:03:13 np Mar 02 15:33:53 Eiffel: any luck with the mounting of the NTFS disk? Mar 02 15:42:15 sry no luck yet Mar 02 15:49:31 ok - one more thing to try, if you can. Please reboot the NSLU2 with this sequence: cd /var/run; rm *.pid; DO_Reboot Mar 02 16:25:32 <[1]philpem> anyone here using debianslug on an nslu2? i'm trying to get eciadsl installed, but it's whining about not having kernel support for ppp Mar 02 16:27:25 <[1]philpem> aptitude is reporting that ppp is installed... Mar 02 19:55:04 hello Mar 02 19:55:42 got a problem with the nslu2 just plugged my 300gb USB HDD to it ( ext3 ) and Nslu2 says its not formatted Mar 02 19:56:12 there's too much important stuff on it so that i can't format it , anyone knows to help ? Mar 02 19:56:51 :I Mar 02 20:17:48 Was it formatted on an NSLU2 previously? Mar 02 20:20:00 no Mar 02 20:20:07 on an linux system Mar 02 20:21:11 must i format it to ext3 on an NSLU2 to use it ? Mar 02 20:23:11 hi! Mar 02 20:23:33 anybody here? Mar 02 20:26:55 ULAKADAF: the "ext3" format spoken of in the context of the NSLU2 is often a misnomer: in order to be recognized as formatted by the GUI, the so-called ext3 disk must be three partitions, the first two must be ext3 and contain specific set of files, the third must be of type "Linux swap". Easiest way to get that is to natively format the drive, but that loses all the data. If you just... Mar 02 20:26:56 ...want to use the drive on the NSLU2, you can use it as a second drive (just as you would use a flash device or an NTFS disk), you'll have to mount it manually. Mar 02 20:28:27 and how do i mount it manually ? hehe sorry for so many dumb questions :) Mar 02 20:31:00 the unix "mount" command - same way you mount/umount it on the Linux machine that originally created it. Mar 02 20:31:44 but im on a winhomoXP machine right now :) Mar 02 20:32:10 even if im on an linux machine im the GUI User hehe Mar 02 20:32:34 got not much experience with commandlines under Linux Mar 02 20:33:03 tried ubuntu to get the wep key of my neighbour but i failed installing a driver via commandline :) Mar 02 20:36:27 if it's too much to write down right now , is there a wiki or something like that to read about ? Mar 02 20:37:39 just google mount Mar 02 20:41:05 Well, mount is easy -- its the rest that might be tricky. Assume that you wish the contents of your drive to appear beneath "/public/big", you simply do the following (if memory serves): Mar 02 20:41:24 okay Mar 02 20:41:35 if the empty directory "/public/big" does not exist, create it: mkdir /public/big Mar 02 20:42:26 then to mount it, assuming the disk is in port 2 on Unslung 5.5, you would say something like: mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /public/big Mar 02 20:42:47 Now if you "cd" over to /public/big, you should see your data. Mar 02 20:43:09 nice thx Mar 02 20:43:27 and how can i connect to my nslu2 via command line ? Mar 02 20:43:46 just bought it used at ebay Mar 02 20:44:05 And that's where the fun begins -- what do you want to do with the data?! It's probably not very useful just on the NSLU2, but since it didn't get automagically mounted you will have to manually set up samba to export it as well... the wiki can help Mar 02 20:44:13 Did you not unsling the device yourself, then? Mar 02 20:45:23 unsling ? :D Mar 02 20:45:53 just want to use it to store my mp3s on it an share it for my xbox with xbmc on it Mar 02 20:46:27 the easiest and best way is to format it with the NSLU2 GUI isn't it ? Mar 02 20:46:41 I presume then that you are still running the Linksys firmware on it, then? If so, then the answer to your question is, no, you cannot mount the drive without formatting it from the GUI. Mar 02 20:54:07 ye Mar 02 20:54:15 okay thx for the info mwester Mar 02 20:54:35 looks like i got the original Linksys firmware on it **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 03 10:59:57 2006
