May 04 12:35:11 <mashpotats> hello?
May 04 14:11:05 <NSLU2-IRC> hi!
May 04 14:13:10 <manolista> is possible to add a litte LCD usb to NSLU without VGA adapter?
May 04 14:39:22 <EvilDevil> manolista, yes
May 04 14:40:13 <manolista> and runs fine with the normal X?
May 04 14:40:25 <manolista> or only console?
May 04 14:40:27 <EvilDevil> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddATextDisplayOnI2CWithLCDproc
May 04 14:41:46 <manolista> thanks ;)
May 04 14:44:12 <manolista> I would say TFT no LCD
May 04 14:54:05 <EvilDevil> without an usb vga adapter? no
May 04 14:54:23 <EvilDevil> with usb vga adapter: -> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddVGAAdapter
May 04 15:08:56 <manolista> thanks
May 04 16:26:40 <geblitzt147> i was just reading the unslug upgrade instructions and was wondering if anyone has upgraded from 2.x to 6.x not using the clean start method?
May 04 16:34:39 <geblitzt147> anyone?
May 04 17:33:16 <ranpha> hi can somebdoy give me some info about the nlsu2?
May 04 17:44:04 <pahartik> ranpha: it is product from Linksys, CPU is ARM, runs Linux kernel... anything else you would like to know?
May 04 17:46:20 <ranpha> well...not that...already bought one. It's is this.
May 04 17:46:32 <ranpha> i formated a disk on a linux computer using ext3.
May 04 17:47:10 <ranpha> now i want to connect it to the nslu2 but it doesn't work, it's said it not formatted...doesn't nslu2 uses the same file system?
May 04 17:50:12 <pahartik> ranpha: original firmware wants to set up things on partition table (I think wintel partition table is required) in specific hard-coded way... OpenSlug firmware (for example) gives more possibilities
May 04 17:51:42 <ranpha> but will it also make a 5% root user like in a normal ext3 system. I don't need this and it's a waste of space then
May 04 17:53:45 <pahartik> ranpha: "tune2fs - adjust tunable filesystem parameters on ext2/ext3 filesystems"
May 04 17:54:23 <ranpha> so if is use the NLsu2 format then tune2fs then it will be as okay as now?
May 04 17:57:18 <mashpotats> I have a generic question, for anybody out there. I've got an iomega storcenter (it's linux, of some sort). Is there a generic faq out there for figuring out how I can make packages for it (determine the target chipset, make a cross compiler, etc etc)?
May 04 17:58:15 <pahartik> ranpha: if you wish to use official firmware from Linksys, you have to let it create partition table entries and filesystems as it pleases... (my guess only, I only have used OpenSlug 2.7-beta)
May 04 17:59:41 <pahartik> ranpha: of course one can use "dumpe2fs" and "tune2fs" on workstation and see if Linksys NSLU2 refuses to co-operate or complains after changes...
May 04 18:00:41 <ranpha> mmmmmmm okay thanks i wil try to read the instructions....does openslug req a HHD because i just want to use the internal mem
May 04 18:02:47 <pahartik> ranpha: it depends on what you do?
May 04 18:03:45 <pahartik> ranpha: I use OpenSlug system as ethernet bridge and Bluetooth PAN access point without external storage device...
May 04 18:04:04 <ranpha> okay thanks
May 04 18:05:58 <pahartik> ranpha: with required packages (for my setup) installed on-board flash has still got more than 1 MiB free...
May 04 18:09:17 <ranpha> btw can you attach a usd hubd on the nslu2 ?
May 04 18:11:30 <pahartik> ranpha: yes...
May 04 18:33:00 <ranpha> with the normal firmware??? cool
May 04 18:35:04 <pahartik> ranpha: I did not say that...
May 04 18:35:18 <mashpotats> any pointers?
May 04 18:35:21 <mashpotats> I have a generic question, for anybody out there. I've got an iomega storcenter (it's linux, of some sort). Is there a generic faq out there for figuring out how I can make packages for it (determine the target chipset, make a cross compiler, etc etc)?
May 04 18:35:48 <ranpha> heheheh.....let me ques openslug?
May 04 18:42:32 <pahartik> ranpha: "http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/USBHubs" knows some more details
May 04 18:56:18 <ranpha> how easy is it o install openslug and when somethings go wrong get everthing back in working order?
May 04 18:59:04 <pahartik> ranpha: I did write OpenSlug flash image on "RedBoot", fetched from TFTP server...
May 04 18:59:39 <pahartik> ranpha: (never tested other methods...)
May 04 19:00:27 <pahartik> ranpha: ...it worked well...
May 04 19:04:54 <ranpha> easy to configure?
May 04 19:06:37 <pahartik> ranpha: if one is familiar with Unices... and TCP/IP networking...
May 04 19:09:24 <ranpha> i got basic linux skill and tcp/ip knowledge
May 04 19:11:36 <ranpha> btw i don't know how to use ssh ...yet
May 04 19:17:58 <pahartik> ranpha: SSH is important protocol...
May 04 19:20:57 <ranpha> if i do openslug everthing is just terminal and no GUI included?
May 04 19:22:58 <pahartik> ranpha: OpenSlug does not have GUI
May 04 19:23:22 <ranpha> mmmm and unslung?
May 04 19:24:38 <pahartik> ranpha: I think that does have CGI...
May 04 19:31:23 <ranpha> and does unslung also support normal ext3 disk?
May 04 19:58:05 <mwester> ranpha: Yes, Unslung supports a normal ext3 disk -- but if you do not use the Linksys ext3 partitioning and formatting style (see the wiki), you must manage it all via the command line, pretty much the same way as OpenSlug, actually.
May 04 20:25:27 <capbot> mika_ :)
May 04 21:43:30 <Hottar> Hi! is it ok to ask some newbie questions? ive read the faq and searched the wiki.. been trying to get samba and ftp working on Unslung 6.8 Beta
May 04 21:44:37 <caplink811_log> ~ask
May 04 21:44:38 <capbot> If you have a question, just ask, maybe someone have an answer... sometimes.
May 04 21:46:05 <Hottar> I think ive set it up properly but something seems to be blocking/denying access on other ports than 21, 80. no firewall on pc active, pc and nslu2 on same switch
May 04 21:47:42 <Hottar> if i try to shares i get log on prompt for a private share ive setup, if i put the right password in it says that access is denied 
May 04 21:47:55 <Hottar> if i put the wrong pass in it says "wrong pass"
May 04 21:48:32 <Hottar> so samba seems to authenticate me but then im stopped by something 
May 04 21:49:10 <caplink811_log> do you use the same username on both (nslu and win, i assume) machines?
May 04 21:49:14 <Hottar> is there any firewall or similair installed by default with the Unslung 6.8 Beta firmware?
May 04 21:49:29 <caplink811_log> fw, no, it isn't
May 04 21:49:47 <Hottar> caplink811_log: ok, yeah same username
May 04 21:49:57 <caplink811_log> and are they both in the same workgroup?
May 04 21:50:00 <Hottar> tried both gui and net use in cmd line
May 04 21:50:05 <Hottar> yep
May 04 21:50:31 <Hottar> wierd thing is.. ftp isnt working either, only telnet and http
May 04 21:51:39 <Hottar> thing is.. if i kill the ftpserver my ftp program gets a timeout, when the server is started i get a disconnected error msg
May 04 21:52:16 <Hottar> and thats even before authentication or handshake..
May 04 21:52:18 <caplink811_log> well, i can verify this, because i don't use 6.8, or web if, but you should have a look at the /etc/samba/smb.conf, in the section [your sharename], there shoudl be a write list, and a read list, with your username in it
May 04 21:54:00 <caplink811_log> sorry, not read list, valid users it is
May 04 21:54:39 <Hottar> hmm yeah ive experimented with the user lists and guest access..
May 04 21:56:03 <caplink811_log> hm, you can also try to adjust the user access rights in the web (from memory) administration-advanced-shares-access
May 04 21:56:17 <caplink811_log> s/web/web if/
May 04 21:56:18 <capbot> caplink811_log meant: hm, you can also try to adjust the user access rights in the web if (from memory) administration-advanced-shares-access
May 04 21:57:09 <Hottar> hmm so if i shut it down and disconnect the hard drive i can edit it from the web?
May 04 21:57:25 <Hottar> and turn it on again ;)
May 04 21:59:27 <caplink811_log> as i said, web interface i meant
May 04 21:59:46 <caplink811_log> Eiffel,  morning :)
May 04 22:00:02 <joga> hmpf it's past 1am
May 04 22:00:16 <caplink811_log> joga,  yes, but
May 04 22:00:19 <caplink811_log> ~ugt
May 04 22:00:20 <capbot> i heard ugt is Universial Greeting Time. Created in #mipslinux, it is a rule that states that whenever somebody enters an IRC channel it is always morning, and it is always late when the person leaves. The local time of any other people in the channel, including the greeter, is irrelevant.
May 04 22:00:28 <caplink811_log> :)
May 04 22:00:44 <Eiffel> n8 ;-p
May 04 22:00:46 <joga> I see
May 04 22:00:59 <joga> so this rule assumes that people irc all day!
May 04 22:01:06 <joga> which is not far from the truth
May 04 22:01:08 <joga> I like that 
May 04 22:01:09 <joga> :)
May 04 22:01:11 <Eiffel> :-)
May 04 22:01:57 <caplink811_log> btw, my clock say it past midnight, so, you see, ugt isn't so wrong ;)
May 04 22:02:47 <caplink811_log> Hottar,  if it is possible for you, you should hang online for some hours, maybe, that someone have a hint for your problem
May 04 22:09:16 <caplink811_log> ~tell caplink811_log about nslu2-nl
May 04 22:09:21 <caplink811_log> ~tell caplink811_log about nslu2-ml
May 04 22:09:38 <caplink811_log> ~tell caplink811_log about nslu2-mailinglist
May 04 22:12:29 <caplink811_log> Hottar,  if you get no answer within a few hours, it is also possible, that you write down your problem in a message in the nslu2-general mailing list, which is at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/messages
May 04 22:14:18 <Hottar> ok! thanks for the help!
May 04 22:14:37 <Hottar> I was away for a while there
May 04 22:14:38 <caplink811_log> np
