**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Apr 19 09:59:56 2006 Apr 19 10:00:07 at the bottom of the page it says it is unslung, but telnet was turned off, and on access of telnet, although it let me in with my changed password Apr 19 10:00:13 Reedy_Boy: IRC client on my Alpha server has been running since 2004... Apr 19 10:00:13 it told me i was running of flash ram Apr 19 10:00:29 without crashing? cool Apr 19 10:00:45 hasnt it been restarted or turned off Apr 19 10:01:06 any ideas why the drive is now not formatted and the unit therefore not unslung to a memory stick? Apr 19 10:06:10 Reedy_Boy: I do not know what "unslung" means by "formatted"... Apr 19 10:08:16 ok, i had it unslung to a memory stick, and in the web interface, it is now saying not formatted Apr 19 10:08:21 is that more undersandable? Apr 19 10:12:35 Reedy_Boy: so it had functional root filesystem on external storage device but that somehow disappeared... Apr 19 10:13:12 yeah Apr 19 10:13:22 the whole drive is now down as 'unformatted' Apr 19 10:16:29 Reedy_Boy: look at contents of that storage device on workstation computer... Apr 19 10:18:03 Reedy_Boy: mind you, I have no idea about what might have happened, having never seen "unslung" in action :) Apr 19 10:18:12 lol Apr 19 10:18:21 the memory stick could just be duff Apr 19 10:18:30 ok, i only have a windows box, but i should be able to read it using ext2fs Apr 19 10:18:50 oh no, its not that Apr 19 10:18:53 arrgh, what is it Apr 19 10:21:02 ah, explore2f Apr 19 10:21:06 explore2fs Apr 19 10:21:55 the device is now registering in the web panel it is running from internal flash Apr 19 10:25:54 right Apr 19 10:26:04 everything looks to be there according to explore2fs Apr 19 10:35:57 gonna try booting it again Apr 19 10:38:38 its strange, even though it wont ping it at this stage (ie it times out) it does cause ethernet activity on the device Apr 19 10:40:58 Arrgh, something just happend and i lost all i had posted Apr 19 10:42:58 nope Apr 19 10:43:00 damn Apr 19 10:43:12 suppose only thing i can do is reformat and unsling again Apr 19 10:44:22 Reedy_Boy: but do not worry, everyone else can still see your earlier messages on this channel Apr 19 10:48:39 yeah, suppose as long as they were logged in Apr 19 10:55:39 <[TEHb]> Guys, can anyone share montavista crosstools? I need xscale_be-depmod Apr 19 10:56:00 <[TEHb]> Accidently delete it from my hdd Apr 19 11:04:06 if i had it, i would Apr 19 15:05:49 Hey BryonT! Apr 19 15:24:30 hulllooooo Apr 19 15:25:46 pains ? or the cat ran over the keyboard ? Apr 19 15:25:56 lol Apr 19 15:31:22 Anyone got any ideas why my unslung 6.8 slug has decided that my memory stick is unformatted Apr 19 15:31:29 yet when checked in a PC the files are there Apr 19 15:32:00 I had it unslung to the memory stick and when i came to it today, it took ages to boot up, upon going onto telnet (which i had to manually enable) Apr 19 15:32:08 it told me that i was running from internal flash Apr 19 15:32:26 and the same in the web interface and the memory stick was labelled as not formatted Apr 19 15:32:30 Anyone any ideas? Apr 19 15:33:31 depends, are you able to mount /dev/Sdx1 manually? Apr 19 15:33:57 and did you read the faq? Apr 19 15:34:29 i dont know Apr 19 15:34:33 and i havent read the FAQ Apr 19 15:34:45 the thing is it has been working after i rebooted it before after setting it up Apr 19 15:34:53 how do i mount it manually Apr 19 15:35:43 mount /dev/sda1 Apr 19 15:35:44 ? Apr 19 15:35:48 so, you should do this 1st... e.g. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DriveNotFormatted or http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DiskNotRecognized Apr 19 15:36:54 ok Apr 19 15:37:03 both or one in particular? Apr 19 15:37:37 one of this may help, there are some more... Apr 19 15:37:43 ok Apr 19 15:37:44 thanks Apr 19 15:37:50 np Apr 19 15:38:02 ~nslu2-rules Apr 19 15:38:03 somebody said nslu2-rules was 1) You must search the wiki before asking questions on IRC or mailing list. 2) You must follow the README steps precisely when flashing firmware. 3) Those who ask the questions, update the wiki with the answers. 4) Those who complain about doco, update the wiki to improve it. 5) Friends don't let friends flash custom firmware without ... Apr 19 15:38:19 sorry Apr 19 15:38:21 ~thanks Apr 19 15:38:21 no problem, caplink811_log Apr 19 15:38:32 the first is of no relevance Apr 19 15:40:37 the rules and the FAQ! Apr 19 15:40:40 woot! Apr 19 15:41:15 yes, sir ;) Apr 19 15:41:44 lol Apr 19 15:42:03 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TroubleshootADriveNotFormattedCondition Apr 19 15:42:14 Going by whats on there it cannot detect any problems Apr 19 15:42:43 Somebody give capbot a snack for a job well done ;) Apr 19 15:43:19 if i have unslung, isnt the changed root password on the memory drive? Apr 19 15:43:29 if so, the slug must be reading it, as i have to login with that passwird Apr 19 15:43:32 *word Apr 19 15:44:08 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DiskNotRecognized 'Your NSLU2 does not boot from the hard disk any more and the top light stays off' Apr 19 15:44:15 That is to a certain extent, but not completely Apr 19 15:44:23 gonna try Apr 19 15:44:24 This worked for me: Apr 19 15:45:02 Reedy_Boy: boot up without the stick, telnet in, then insert the stick into any port. Wait several minutes. Examine the output of the "mount" command to see if it is mounted by the NSLU2. If not, it is no longer recognized as a natively formatted device, possibly because someof the files on the conf partition have been damaged or deleted. If it does, then the drive is ok; theproblem is... Apr 19 15:45:03 ...probably in the startup scripts or sequence on the stick itself... Apr 19 15:45:54 or maybe not running USB_Detect processes, there are many possibilities Apr 19 15:46:14 ok Apr 19 15:46:25 im just waiting for it to boot without a stick Apr 19 15:50:05 is it normal for the updated root password to be saved on the flashram? Apr 19 15:51:31 Hmm, it seems like it isn't going to mount it Apr 19 15:53:30 mount is just returning Apr 19 15:53:48 usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) Apr 19 15:53:54 /proc on /proc type proc (rw) Apr 19 15:53:59 /dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2 (rw) Apr 19 15:54:01 in reverse order Apr 19 15:54:19 but it did that since the start Apr 19 15:54:30 it is now saying not formatted rather than not installed Apr 19 15:54:38 with mount in telnet returning the same Apr 19 15:57:47 anyone any ideas? Apr 19 16:00:35 I may just reformat and re unsling Apr 19 16:01:10 in 6.8 can i just use the web tool to reput the firmware on? Apr 19 16:20:08 Ill be back later Apr 19 16:20:09 Cya Apr 19 16:52:47 Good morning! Apr 19 16:53:19 Yes, I've examined the wiki carefully, and used Google. Apr 19 16:53:54 go ahead and ask your question.... Apr 19 16:53:56 That said, has anyone had luck creating an ad-hoc wireless network among zd1211-equipped slugs? Apr 19 16:56:14 I've installed zd1211 and wireless tools; modprobe zd1211; ifconfig wlan0 up; iwconfig wlan0 essid slugnet mode Ad-Hoc channel 1; ifconfig wlan0 192.168.2.x (x different for each slug of course) Apr 19 16:56:52 iwconfig on each then shows them in the same cell, but they can't ping each other Apr 19 16:57:41 though when you ping Y from X, say, ifconfig on Y shows packets received increased by approximately the number of pings sent Apr 19 16:59:43 hmm... what does route return? Apr 19 17:00:49 and... what's the ip-address of the ethernet port? Apr 19 17:02:46 i just tried to install miau on my unslung, and got this message: http://pastebin.com/669617 Apr 19 17:03:01 im not sure what the error means, or even if it's important Apr 19 17:03:36 Lunar_Lamp, you can safely ignore these errors Apr 19 17:03:46 good good :-) Apr 19 17:03:50 what do they mean though? Apr 19 17:03:51 but you should edit the miau config file Apr 19 17:04:39 seems like miau got started by ipkg-postinstall and now complains about wrong/missing parameters in the config-file Apr 19 17:05:14 righteo Apr 19 17:05:18 thanks :-) Apr 19 17:05:21 np Apr 19 17:05:35 (fastest response ive ever had in here too i think!) Apr 19 17:06:09 i finished my math homework and was desperately seeking for something more interesting ;) Apr 19 17:08:04 hmm Apr 19 17:08:09 im not sure it's worked Apr 19 17:08:15 i rebooted, and ran ps -ef Apr 19 17:08:22 couldn't see miau Apr 19 17:08:22 maybe that i should include a minimal configuration, so miau could start Apr 19 17:08:33 so did ps -ef | grep miau Apr 19 17:08:35 and it wasn't there Apr 19 17:08:44 because you donÄt have edit the config file Apr 19 17:08:55 oh, so it won't run at all until i edit the config? Apr 19 17:08:57 * Lunar_Lamp feels stupid Apr 19 17:08:59 of course Apr 19 17:09:08 right Apr 19 17:10:24 evildevil: sorry, I was called away a moment Apr 19 17:10:36 route never emits even a first hop Apr 19 17:10:51 ChulJin, not traceroute, just "route" Apr 19 17:11:01 sorry, that's what I meant Apr 19 17:11:10 *traceroute never emits even a first hop Apr 19 17:11:39 route Apr 19 17:11:39 Kernel IP routing table Apr 19 17:11:39 Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface Apr 19 17:11:39 localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 Apr 19 17:11:39 default 192.168.2.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Apr 19 17:11:44 something like that Apr 19 17:14:18 (btw eth0 and wlan0 are on different subnets and not bridged...eth0 on each has a dynamic address in 172.16.252.0/22; wlan0 on each has (theoretically) a static address in 192.168.2.0/24 Apr 19 17:15:15 ChulJin, okay, thats what i wanted to know Apr 19 17:15:39 route shows wlan0 as interface for 192.168.2.0 ?

Apr 19 17:21:11 that's the tail-end of it Apr 19 17:21:24 I wish items were timestamped Apr 19 17:25:24 hmm... it seems like it didn't change to channel 1 Apr 19 17:25:56 hmmm...that's strange...that info actually seems quite old. Apr 19 17:28:42 here, have a look at this one: Apr 19 17:28:43 http://pastebin.ca/49975 Apr 19 17:30:52 strange Apr 19 17:31:43 that should be all set right? Apr 19 17:32:42 yes.. maybe it's an driver issue... have you tried to set up wep? maybe it's working only in wep mode Apr 19 17:33:41 192.168.2.3 -> Bit Rate:1 Mb/s ? c+p error ? Apr 19 17:34:44 I noticed that too...though I thought that shouldn't matter... Apr 19 17:34:47 'c+p'? Apr 19 17:34:59 cut and paste ;) Apr 19 17:36:01 i thought that this could be normal because the commands were not executed at the same time Apr 19 17:42:21 capl: no, that's what it says Apr 19 17:46:32 hm, shouldn't have both endpoints the same speed?

Apr 19 18:03:11 oh! Apr 19 18:03:13 hmmm Apr 19 18:03:18 (from a mail in the nslu2-linux mailing list) Apr 19 18:03:56 the user was using openslug 2.7 too Apr 19 18:10:47 w00t, I've never built a driver before :) Apr 19 18:11:42 ChulJin, you might want to try to build the r73 version too ... Apr 19 18:12:33 it's pretty simple... there's a .bb file Apr 19 18:12:59 but... i think there's already a prebuilt r52 Apr 19 18:13:12 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/cross/2.7-beta/zd1211_r59-r0_nslu2.ipk Apr 19 18:13:17 oops Apr 19 18:13:21 wrong link Apr 19 18:13:51 I haven't quite gotten to cross-compiling yet :) Apr 19 18:14:11 http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/unstable/zd1211_r52-r4_ixp4xxbe.ipk Apr 19 18:15:04 i would compile it for you, but i don't have the openslug 2.7 sources, just the new ones (different kernel version) Apr 19 18:15:25 though native compile is running nice... NSLU2-R83+distcc=not-too-bad native compiling speed Apr 19 18:15:32 * mwester has been having the same sort of troubles with the zd1211 driver on Unslung -- R52, 67 and even R73 all have same problems on Unslung (assoc with AP, ARP works, but no IP packets go through.)

Apr 19 18:28:41 oh i need to do it redboot Apr 19 18:28:47 you want flash a new firmware ? Apr 19 18:29:14 yeah im on 6.8 but its made a mess with unslinging like i said earlier Apr 19 18:29:21 so im just gonna reinstall it and start again Apr 19 18:29:43 EVILDEVIL Apr 19 18:29:43 it won't work since unslung5.5, as the readme mentioned Apr 19 18:29:44 CAPLINK Apr 19 18:29:46 it works! Apr 19 18:29:54 'it's alive!' Apr 19 18:29:57 wasn't my part.. Apr 19 18:29:59 thank you both! Apr 19 18:30:25 If it's booted up without disks, just "rm /.sda?root" and reboot without disks -- returns flash to the "just-flashed pre-unslung" state. Apr 19 18:30:38 yeah i noticed Apr 19 18:30:47 ah, il try that Apr 19 18:30:51 yes it will boot without disk Apr 19 18:31:04 Cheers Apr 19 18:31:15 hopefully it wont take ages Apr 19 18:31:57 Good - then unless something has happened to muck up the internal flash filesystem, just removing the /.sda1root (or /.sdb1root) file will return it to the "ready to format the disk and unsling" state. Apr 19 18:32:05 Gotta run - good luck. Apr 19 18:32:16 thanks Apr 19 18:32:19 cool, isn't there another file i need to remove also Apr 19 18:32:19 you wouldn't believe, evil and cap, how that's been chapping my ass for a week. Apr 19 18:32:33 ? Apr 19 18:32:52 basically no Apr 19 18:33:01 no to me? Apr 19 18:33:09 yes Apr 19 18:33:11 k Apr 19 18:33:49 is the telnet password saved on the flashram? Apr 19 18:33:52 ChulJin, no prob. Apr 19 18:34:13 just for information, you use a usb mem stick (with which capacity), which was formatted with the slug ? Apr 19 18:34:33 yeah# Apr 19 18:34:40 512mb formatted natively on the slug Apr 19 18:34:40 the password is uNSLUng when you boot without an external storage attached Apr 19 18:34:43 and then unslung to it Apr 19 18:34:53 mine is working on my changed password atm.... Apr 19 18:36:42 so. login as root, and then plug in the memstick Apr 19 18:37:01 yeah its just taking a long time to boot Apr 19 18:37:56 the long time should be < 120 seconds, if you boot without an external data storage Apr 19 18:38:06 should i time it? Apr 19 18:38:14 cause it was longer than 2 mins im sure Apr 19 18:38:18 the ready status light flashes green for a while.... Apr 19 18:39:10 from memory, that is normal, but it should change to steady green, and the boot procedure should end with a beep Apr 19 18:39:19 yeah Apr 19 18:39:26 it might just me being impatient Apr 19 18:39:53 im just gonna reboot and time it Apr 19 18:40:41 back in 180 seconds, i assume Apr 19 18:44:25 1 minute 54 Apr 19 18:44:42 1 minute 54 Apr 19 18:44:47 so it was just me being impatient!
