**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Apr 17 09:59:56 2006 Apr 17 10:13:54 hi all Apr 17 10:15:43 is package repository broked? Apr 17 11:15:33 Hi, I'm trying to build OpenSlug, but it fails with 'gzip: stdin: decompression OK, trailing garbage ignored' on this file: http://sources.nslu2-linux.org/sources/ports_sources.redhat.com__20050627.tar.gz Apr 17 11:16:19 It seems the file really is broken (tried using tar tvzf on the file after retrieving it manually). Any ideas to what I could try? Apr 17 11:17:47 hmm, maybe I should try #openslug instead :-) Apr 17 11:27:27 I am using openslug and have installed bash Apr 17 11:27:42 but for some reason it is not reading my ~/.bashrc when I login Apr 17 11:31:01 and for some reason the dircolors command can not be found Apr 17 11:32:28 EvilGuru: "source" it from "~/.bash_profile"? Apr 17 11:33:21 works! Apr 17 11:46:53 EvilGuru: "dircolors" on Debian is provided by "coreutils"... according to "http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/cross/2.7-beta/Packages.gz", package with same name exists for OpenSlug 2.7-beta... Apr 17 11:47:11 getting it now... Apr 17 11:47:24 as the busy-box utils were kinda crummy Apr 17 11:56:14 what do I need to do to get the full version of packages like tar and adduser Apr 17 11:58:30 EvilGuru, search at http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/ Apr 17 12:00:00 caplink811_log: for some reason it did not find most packages that are available for OpenSlug 2.7-beta... but it is possible that it was broken back when I tried some weeks ago Apr 17 12:02:46 if this don't work, you a. browse the feed http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/oe/ or b. the easiest way is ipkg update ; ipkg list , which should work with openslug too Apr 17 12:03:30 s/you a./you can a./ Apr 17 12:03:30 caplink811_log meant: if this don't work, you can a. browse the feed http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/oe/ or b. the easiest way is ipkg update ; ipkg list , which should work with openslug too Apr 17 12:17:05 does openslug provide the non-micky-mouse login tools? As the TinyLogin ones are just useless Apr 17 13:33:48 hi all Apr 17 13:34:57 i am having some problems with vi on my slug Apr 17 13:36:11 it seems to stall Apr 17 13:38:29 i am trying to edit proftpd.conf but when i have edited a line and hit escape and afterthat i use the arrowkeys it just stalls after a few hits on the arrowkey's Apr 17 13:38:48 and doens't respond to anything anymore Apr 17 13:46:25 IImmortal: does it respond to ICMP ping request? Apr 17 13:49:38 well there is nothing wrong with the slug i can open onther telnet/ssh connections with no problem. but the session inwich vi runs is not working anymore Apr 17 13:50:46 how can I access my slug's hard drives when I'm away from home? Apr 17 13:50:48 kill vi and start it again.. i have the problem with vi also sometimes Apr 17 13:51:17 IImmortal: maybe it is problem with flow control characters Apr 17 13:52:31 that could be. or maybe the size of the txt file? Apr 17 13:52:32 IImmortal: can you send few -q characters and see if editor keeps going? Apr 17 13:53:00 i'll try Apr 17 13:55:08 hmm maybe this is relevant ;) i am using winxp and putty Apr 17 13:58:10 IImmortal: "^Q" is ASCII 0x11... Apr 17 14:00:03 IImmortal: check if same thing happens with OpenSSH on Rxvt... for example Apr 17 14:01:11 ^Q is not implemented Apr 17 14:01:19 that is what vi says Apr 17 14:01:29 * IImmortal is noob Apr 17 14:02:36 IImmortal: since only editor is affected, it sounds like terminfo or flow control issue Apr 17 14:02:39 i am using open ssh Apr 17 14:03:23 what is Rxvt Apr 17 14:04:23 IImmortal: "rxvt (1) - a VT102 emulator for the X window system" Apr 17 14:05:14 oke but i do not have an other linux/unix system here to access the slug. only my XP systems Apr 17 14:07:40 with small files there doens't seem te be a problem Apr 17 14:10:19 IImmortal: if one is forced to use windoze on wintel, this is useful: http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/ Apr 17 14:16:56 looks interesting Apr 17 14:18:50 also i can not kill the vi processes (ps -eaf, kill -15) Apr 17 14:48:53 pahartik the ssh client on that iso seems to work Apr 17 15:10:55 are there commands to add users to unslung? useradd or adduser doens't seem to work Apr 17 15:17:27 On unslung, the best way is to use the Linksys Web GUI to add users. Then you'll have to (this is the tricky part for newbies) edit the password file to give the created user a home directory and a shell. It's not hard, just bad when you mess up -- make a backup copy of the passwd file before you do so, and test before you restart the NSLU2 or you might render yourself unable to login to... Apr 17 15:17:28 ...the unit. If you really really need the "useradd" or "adduser" commadns, use the package search engine (on the left nav bar on the wiki -- but be aware that the adduser commands don't know about giving a user a private share, or stuff like that... Apr 17 15:22:23 hmm oke for me being a newbe this will be interesting Apr 17 15:30:40 Frankly, the first thing a newbie needs to do on Linux (or any other UNIX) is to either learn the vi text editor, or find a text editor they prefer -- almost everything is done via editing config files on a device like the slug -- no space for GUI admin tools beyond what Linksys has created. Apr 17 15:30:54 After that, it's really quite easy :) Apr 17 15:38:17 well the vi editor isn't the problem anymore. more that normal commands arn't there like the useradd thing but also 'more' is missing. and i have to dig in the docs how to add groups in the linksys gui or i am missing something there Apr 17 17:09:17 IImmortal: XLiveCD helped on that editor issue? Apr 17 17:20:58 when i look in passwd i see a few account that have /home entries but when i look in the /home dir these dirs do not exist. is that correct? Apr 17 17:22:15 yes it did Apr 17 17:22:19 thanx! Apr 17 17:23:32 i'm still figuring out who the internals work Apr 17 17:24:02 is everything on disk or are there still dirs on flash in the unit Apr 17 17:25:15 IImmortal: you are welcome, I am happy to hear it helped Apr 17 17:27:56 IImmortal: do you mean, after you "turnup disk" (or other external target media, if you had OpenSlug)? Apr 17 17:29:10 IImmortal: oh, you mentioned "unslung" earlier, so I should assume no OpenSlug... Apr 17 18:22:32 IImmortal: once booted in "unslung" mode, there is nothing still used on the flash. It is only used during the early portions of the boot process. Apr 17 18:50:21 I am getting really slow speeds over nfs with my overclocked slug - 2.5 to 6mb/s Apr 17 18:50:27 anyone else get this? Apr 17 18:55:51 3-5MB/s are treated as normal Apr 17 18:59:11 see http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/Performance Apr 17 19:03:03 there is a thread about raw performance which is in german language, but i think, a digit is a digit ;) http://www.nslu2-info.de/showthread.php?t=3758 Apr 17 19:04:16 Hey, if someone says they have 'bricked' their slug is it dead and unrepairable? Apr 17 19:06:45 usual bricked means, you need access to jtag equipment and jtag experience Apr 17 19:07:58 hmm Apr 17 19:07:59 ok Apr 17 19:08:28 or worse.... Apr 17 19:08:35 I've had one brickage Apr 17 19:08:44 lightning tends to do that though Apr 17 19:08:48 cause im looking for a replacment stand for mind Apr 17 19:08:51 *mine Apr 17 19:08:57 cause one i got off ebay is loose Apr 17 19:08:58 you need one? Apr 17 19:09:08 I have 4 or 5 extras Apr 17 19:09:09 and linksys seem to want to refer me to the people i got it from Apr 17 19:09:13 really? where are you? Apr 17 19:09:27 PM? Apr 17 19:10:16 your nick isn't registered? Apr 17 19:10:20 I'm in the US Apr 17 19:10:21 it is Apr 17 19:10:23 hang on Apr 17 19:10:27 i think i need to log in again Apr 17 19:10:30 okee Apr 17 19:11:03 done Apr 17 19:33:20 is there a package other then coreutils that replaces busybox commands with their real eqivalents? i need gnu ps in openslug.. Apr 17 19:42:09 neoXite: "procps" is listed on "http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/cross/2.7-beta/Packages.gz" Apr 17 19:50:30 thanks =P Apr 17 21:07:12 hi there. Apr 17 21:07:46 does anybody know why there are no more packages in http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/wl500g/ ? Apr 17 21:08:17 i have not been there for months, has anything changed? Apr 17 21:10:04 i think there's some maintenance work on the server Apr 17 21:11:20 ah ok. thank you Apr 17 21:11:37 do you, by any chance, know about how long that can take? more like minutes or more like days? Apr 17 21:11:56 i don't have a clue Apr 17 21:12:29 this should work since 2 or 3 hours Apr 17 21:12:31 again Apr 17 21:13:37 there are no other servers, are there? Apr 17 21:14:53 there are other servers, but the source is still the same Apr 17 21:15:09 ok. thx for the info :) Apr 17 21:15:21 guess i'll just have to be patient then Apr 17 21:16:09 but from my point of view (aka browsing http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/cross/ for example) it works right now Apr 17 21:16:53 some directories work, some don't Apr 17 21:17:15 wl500g is one of the latter Apr 17 21:18:35 k, this is still empty, may be that the build is still ongoing Apr 17 21:19:24 yeah, sounds plausible Apr 17 21:19:24 wl500g is being built right now. How long it takes will depend upon a lot of factors, one being if anything breaks during the build. I have no idea when, could be any time, could be hours. Apr 17 21:21:40 cool. btw, great work you guys are doing. i really appreciate it :) Apr 18 01:53:34 Anyone active? In particular on debianslug. Apr 18 07:02:00 In the documentation about forcing power on, Alternative 5 seems to suggest that he powered his slug from a downstream USB connection. According to USB standards this should not be possible. Am I reading this correctly?
