Jul 28 12:02:22 <Petfrogg> hmm
Jul 28 12:02:31 <Petfrogg> how do i configure dropbear to not allow root login?
Jul 28 12:26:17 <MiKa_> Petfrogg: in open ssh is it
Jul 28 12:26:19 <MiKa_> vi /opt/etc/openssh/sshd_config  add line: PermitRootLogin no
Jul 28 12:30:09 <Petfrogg> well - i am switching now to openssh
Jul 28 12:30:16 <Petfrogg> i will only use dropbear for homeussage
Jul 28 12:30:25 <Petfrogg> but i will use openssh for the rest
Jul 28 12:30:52 <Petfrogg> hmm shame that dircproxy and bitlbee doesn't exist for arm...
Jul 28 12:57:16 <subclasser> Hello, there
Jul 28 12:57:35 <subclasser> I'm trying to build my own locale on the NSLU
Jul 28 12:57:50 <subclasser> based on http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseInternationalCharactersOnOpenSlug
Jul 28 12:58:00 <subclasser> I get the following error
Jul 28 12:58:26 <subclasser> localedef -i de_DE -f UTF-8 de_DE.UTF-8
Jul 28 12:58:26 <subclasser> cannot create temporary file: No such file or directory
Jul 28 12:58:54 <subclasser>  /tmp exists and points to /var/tmp
Jul 28 12:59:21 <subclasser> I have 756MB of swap which should be enough
Jul 28 12:59:45 <subclasser> My problem is that I don't understand the error message and that I have no clue who to solve it
Jul 28 13:02:57 <subclasser> Any hints?
Jul 28 15:22:21 <dubious> hi
Jul 28 15:25:51 <dubious> has anyone an idea why the debianinstaller does not find my flash memory stick? does this only work with a real harddisk?
Jul 28 15:29:52 <dubious> instead it finds the mtdblock0-5
Jul 28 18:47:55 <NSLU2-IRC> hallo?
Jul 28 18:48:15 <NSLU2-IRC> spricht hier irgendjemANd deutsch?! ;)
Jul 28 18:48:36 <NSLU2-IRC> bzw. kann mich überhaupt jemand lesen?
Jul 28 18:50:07 <xneox> hallo?
Jul 28 19:08:35 <iwo> hey, does anyone know how you find the cpu usage of your slug?
Jul 28 19:08:48 <iwo> like, what the current load on the cpu is
Jul 28 19:32:39 <drif> iwo: top?
Jul 28 19:39:07 <iwo> i don't seem to have the program top
Jul 28 19:39:15 <iwo> and 'ipkg install top' fails
Jul 28 19:39:21 <iwo> i'm using unslung 6.8 btw
Jul 28 19:41:39 <drif> iwo: procps - 3.2.3-5 - /opt/bin/top
Jul 28 19:41:52 <drif> it's part of a package
Jul 28 19:54:10 <Guest1857> hi people
Jul 28 19:58:03 <lizardkok> anyone here who's kind enuff to help me out with my nslu2?
Jul 28 19:58:12 <lizardkok> I'm pulling my hairs here :(
Jul 28 19:58:43 <Guest1676> sorry... can't help looking for help with a DS101j
Jul 28 19:59:12 <lizardkok> guess most of us are here looking for help :(
Jul 28 19:59:29 <Guest1676> At least it's friendly ;-)
Jul 28 20:00:44 <Guest1676> Mine's a quick one... can you use unslung on DS101j or just the bootstrap... From reading I should just use the bootstrap of ikpg?
Jul 28 20:01:30 <Guest1676> I can help with C++ questions... but not with my new hardware yet :-)
Jul 28 20:01:52 <lizardkok> I'm a newbie with unslung...am looking for answers myself.
Jul 28 20:01:59 <lizardkok> I can help with C++ too ;)
Jul 28 20:02:25 <Guest1676> Cool!
Jul 28 20:03:49 <lizardkok> Sigh...really no one here expert in NSLU2?
Jul 28 20:04:38 <iwo> what's your question??
Jul 28 20:04:47 <iwo> if you ask, maybe someone will know ;)
Jul 28 20:06:10 <lizardkok> well..I flashed the new unslung 6.8 firmware.
Jul 28 20:06:32 <lizardkok> followed instructions from the wiki and nslu2-linux
Jul 28 20:06:52 <lizardkok> however, I can never unsling into a usb thumbdrive.
Jul 28 20:07:39 <iwo> is the drive formatted?
Jul 28 20:07:42 <lizardkok> first of all, the format from the web interface never did format my usb drive into an EXT3.....
Jul 28 20:07:49 <iwo> or are you having trouble formatting?
Jul 28 20:08:00 <lizardkok> yes...lots of problem.
Jul 28 20:08:05 <iwo> i had the same problem, although I can't remember what the solution was :D
Jul 28 20:08:30 <lizardkok> is that so? :O
Jul 28 20:08:44 <iwo> i unslung to a 512mb flash drive, but i couldn't format it at first because the unslung firmware can only format >1gb drives by default
Jul 28 20:08:47 <iwo> something like that
Jul 28 20:09:01 <lizardkok> huh?!!
Jul 28 20:09:09 <lizardkok> oh....mine's a 256MB.
Jul 28 20:09:27 <iwo> i think the solution is on the wiki
Jul 28 20:09:29 <iwo> hold on
Jul 28 20:09:34 <lizardkok> ok..that's only part of my problem....
Jul 28 20:10:03 <lizardkok> thankz!
Jul 28 20:11:11 <iwo> lizardkok: have you flashed with the unslung firmware yet?
Jul 28 20:11:22 <iwo> yes, okay
Jul 28 20:11:51 <lizardkok> I flashed.
Jul 28 20:12:14 <lizardkok> I tried OpenSlug...and have problem doing turnup disk
Jul 28 20:12:28 <lizardkok> took forever to copy rootfs files over to usb...
Jul 28 20:12:43 <lizardkok> once done...it still will not boot from USB.
Jul 28 20:13:11 <mwester> 256MB flash sticks are questionable at best with Unslung.  It seems that the ability of the Linksys format tools to actually format them depends on how the manufacturer of the flash stick reports the "geometry" of the device.  Try a larger flash device and it should work fine.
Jul 28 20:13:15 <lizardkok> tried debianslug...and after flashing, sees a sold amber light at activity/status.
Jul 28 20:13:37 <lizardkok> oh...
Jul 28 20:13:55 <lizardkok> I have a minidrive...6GB, think that's ok?
Jul 28 20:14:47 <iwo> i believe it's because unslinging uses up about 240mb or something
Jul 28 20:14:58 <iwo> so 256mb is really slim
Jul 28 20:15:29 <lizardkok> ok...trying that now...thankz guys.
Jul 28 20:16:10 <iwo> but i don't think that is your problem :) cos like i say, i had exactly the same problem with my 512mb drive, but i can't remember what i was advised to do :)
Jul 28 20:16:20 <lizardkok> hmmm...
Jul 28 20:16:29 <lizardkok> actually, there's another worry...
Jul 28 20:16:54 <lizardkok> when I revert back to Linksys's stock firmware (after trying all sorts of things...OpenSlug, Debian etc)
Jul 28 20:16:55 <mwester> Once you have a failed format, you often have to repartition and format to a normal FAT device before the Linksys code will properly retry the format.
Jul 28 20:17:10 <lizardkok> yes...did that...
Jul 28 20:17:21 <lizardkok> still fail to format...guess it's because of 256MB.
Jul 28 20:17:54 <lizardkok> back to the linksys firmware....after reflashing, I cannot get back to the web interface :(
Jul 28 20:18:03 <iwo> doh
Jul 28 20:18:29 <lizardkok> the activity/status light keeps flashing green...
Jul 28 20:18:39 <lizardkok> can ping 192.168.1.77 but cannot http.
Jul 28 20:19:00 <jelle> can you ssh to it?
Jul 28 20:19:15 <iwo> jelle: do you think he has ssh installed?!
Jul 28 20:19:29 <lizardkok> nope..linksys firmware don't have it, I think.
Jul 28 20:19:34 <iwo> lol
Jul 28 20:19:38 <jelle> oh, he's back to linksys. right.
Jul 28 20:19:51 <lizardkok> yes, but can't get into web
Jul 28 20:19:55 <jelle> i should keep my] mouth sut...
Jul 28 20:20:06 <lizardkok> I'm flashing to unslung 6.8 now.
Jul 28 20:20:19 <caplink811-log> jelle, ;)
Jul 28 20:20:30 <lizardkok> btw...check with you pple...will overclocking to 266Mhz break anything?
Jul 28 20:20:39 <jelle> after flashing, do you boot without flashdisks and things...
Jul 28 20:21:12 <caplink811-log> deunderclocking,no, it shouldn't hurt anything..
Jul 28 20:21:13 <jelle> no guarentees, but I've not heard problems with overclocking
Jul 28 20:21:14 <lizardkok> no flashdisk.
Jul 28 20:21:37 <lizardkok> the top LED keep flashing green...
Jul 28 20:21:46 <lizardkok> can ping 192.168.1.77
Jul 28 20:22:37 <jelle> sounds bricky
Jul 28 20:22:57 <caplink811-log> not realy..
Jul 28 20:23:15 <jelle> hurray, there is light at the end...
Jul 28 20:23:24 <lizardkok> it's driving me crazy...been working on it for 3 days....
Jul 28 20:23:51 <lizardkok> light yes, but flashing green...not good news to me :(
Jul 28 20:24:38 <mwester> I hear the frustration.  Unless someone can define the characteristics of a 256MB flash device that works reliably with Unslung, I'm going to change the docs to reflect a minimum 512MB for the next Unslung release. :(
Jul 28 20:25:22 <lizardkok> erh...will re-flashing too many times brick it?
Jul 28 20:25:33 <jelle> nope
Jul 28 20:25:37 <mwester> It seems to be not frequent, but not unusual for people to spend days working on unslinging to the 256MB sticks.
Jul 28 20:25:41 <lizardkok> now even after re-flashing unslung 6.8, I still can't access web
Jul 28 20:25:45 <jelle> there is no count-down-flash-limit
Jul 28 20:26:09 <lizardkok> I've reflashed > 100 times! :(
Jul 28 20:26:21 <lizardkok> all kinds of permutations.
Jul 28 20:26:31 <mwester> 100 is not a problem; my development slug has been flashed many more times than that.
Jul 28 20:26:39 <lizardkok> hahahaha
Jul 28 20:26:41 <jelle> any experience with redboot?
Jul 28 20:26:48 <lizardkok> tried that....
Jul 28 20:27:00 <lizardkok> but now using sercomm
Jul 28 20:27:06 <caplink811-log> btw, is telnet enabled in unlsung-6.8 by default?
Jul 28 20:27:18 <iwo> no
Jul 28 20:27:25 <mwester> Present, but not enabled.
Jul 28 20:27:39 <jelle> have you tried openslug?
Jul 28 20:27:41 <caplink811-log> which is bad, in this case..
Jul 28 20:27:49 <iwo> :)
Jul 28 20:27:50 <mwester> Yes, it is bad in this case.
Jul 28 20:28:01 <mwester> I've thought of changing that, but telnetd is such a security risk...
Jul 28 20:28:12 <caplink811-log> sure, it is..
Jul 28 20:28:19 <mwester> If only we could fit an SSHD instead!
Jul 28 20:28:20 <lizardkok> I tried openslug...but got problems too.
Jul 28 20:28:57 <lizardkok> can never do fdisk on my usb from openslug itself
Jul 28 20:29:00 <iwo> lizardkok: have you given it a long time to boot? also have you tried shutting down (maybe unplugging if this is the only option) and trying to boot again?
Jul 28 20:29:11 <lizardkok> erh...nope...
Jul 28 20:29:13 <caplink811-log> maybe, that http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf could help with the webif problem..
Jul 28 20:29:14 <lizardkok> I do that now...
Jul 28 20:29:20 <mwester> At any time did you change the default port for the web server?  And are you sure that it is the slug that is at the address that you can ping (could the slug be at a different address?)
Jul 28 20:29:38 <lizardkok> I tried telnet 192.167.1.77 80
Jul 28 20:29:48 <lizardkok> then issue GET / HTTP/1.1
Jul 28 20:29:56 <caplink811-log> and.. that all happened when you boot without your external storage ?
Jul 28 20:30:01 <lizardkok> and got no error, but nothing too.
Jul 28 20:30:09 <lizardkok> so port 80 is open.
Jul 28 20:30:19 <lizardkok> yes...w/o ext. storage.
Jul 28 20:30:23 <caplink811-log> k
Jul 28 20:31:18 <lizardkok> I can still get into redboot, and reflash, can ping...BUT no webif
Jul 28 20:32:19 <caplink811-log> then you may try, what is described in the link above
Jul 28 20:32:30 <lizardkok> link?
Jul 28 20:32:38 <caplink811-log> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf
Jul 28 20:33:26 <lizardkok> I tried that :( many times :(
Jul 28 20:33:33 <jelle> one note on that, I tried resetting the sysconf once, but it didn't clear my ip address that time strangely enough
Jul 28 20:33:53 <lizardkok> hey...now when I plug out power supply, ether cable for 5 mins...and plug it back in....can access web!!!!
Jul 28 20:35:01 <caplink811-log> mystic..
Jul 28 20:35:09 <jelle> hurray, now we can all go home.
Jul 28 20:35:19 <lizardkok> what the...you mean the slug draws in current that somehow retain the "errors"? :O
Jul 28 20:35:35 <lizardkok> erh...I need to test with my 6GB minidrive now ;)
Jul 28 20:36:09 <caplink811-log> before, you should reboot two or three times, to make sure, that the webif is present after every reboot..
Jul 28 20:36:25 <lizardkok> good point...do that now.
Jul 28 20:36:39 <Guest1676> sorry to ask, how do I get started with a DS101j ? i.e. I take it is a dumb question I can't use unslung..
Jul 28 20:37:20 <caplink811-log> dunno, myself only owns some nslu2 devices...
Jul 28 20:37:36 <lizardkok> hahaha...sorry...took up all the time...forgot about you :P
Jul 28 20:37:51 <Guest1676> No worries... interesting listening....
Jul 28 20:39:02 <lizardkok> ok...now I'm formatting my 6GB minidrive with FAT32 single partition...
Jul 28 20:39:35 <lizardkok> using webif, enable telnet....and telnetting into nslu2
Jul 28 20:40:12 <lizardkok> plugging 6GB drive into disk2
Jul 28 20:40:43 <iwo> lizardkok: i told you a proper reboot would help !
Jul 28 20:40:56 <lizardkok> I did....
Jul 28 20:41:02 <lizardkok> a few times already 
Jul 28 20:41:31 <iwo> i mean you got yur http interface back
Jul 28 20:41:41 <lizardkok> did a "df" and saw minidrive being auto mounted as /share/flash/data/HDD_2_1_1
Jul 28 20:42:01 <lizardkok> yes...dunno why...but I got it back after unplugging power supply and ethernet cables.
Jul 28 20:42:25 <lizardkok> now do I go back to webif and format?
Jul 28 20:42:56 <iwo> lizardkok: i think you should wait and get yourself a 512mb usb stick
Jul 28 20:43:01 <mwester> You can't format except with Unslung firmware -- the Linksys fw thinks anything smaller than 10GB is a flash stick and won't format
Jul 28 20:43:15 <iwo> then you will have fewer problems (now and later)
Jul 28 20:43:18 <lizardkok> now I'm back to unslung.
Jul 28 20:43:49 <mwester> Guest1676: No "unslung-like" software for the G600 :(
Jul 28 20:44:00 <mwester> It will run openslug, though
Jul 28 20:44:35 <mwester> And then it can use the feeds for Openslug.  But there is nothing that "extends" the built-in firmware.
Jul 28 20:47:05 <Guest1676> Cheers... I will have a go with Openslug...
Jul 28 20:47:38 <lizardkok> I've just bought a Asus WL500g Deluxe...
Jul 28 20:48:13 <lizardkok> unwrapping later...will Openslug support it later?
Jul 28 20:48:58 <lizardkok> it is very similar to NSLU2: 2 USB ports...and has got WIFI built in.
Jul 28 20:55:47 <mwester> Guest1676: I put rough guidelines for installing on the wiki, but you'll have to build your own version of openslug, and you'll need some patches that may or may not be present in order to get it all running.  And it must be a RevA unit.
Jul 28 20:58:37 <lizardkok> hey...thank you all!!!!
Jul 28 20:58:50 <lizardkok> I managed to unsling my slug already! :D
Jul 28 20:59:02 <lizardkok> so all along it's my 256MB that's causing the problem!
Jul 28 20:59:36 <Guest1676> I will have a go, however it be beyond my current ability... (no linux expert) but experienced C++...
Jul 28 21:08:30 <Guest1676> cheers mwester. bye.
Jul 29 02:15:37 <lizardkok> hi
Jul 29 02:15:52 <lizardkok> problem again...
Jul 29 02:16:23 <lizardkok> managed to unsling, but after that cannot ping 192.168.1.77 nor webif to it.
Jul 29 02:16:55 <lizardkok> The LEDS are all solid green, except for eth that flickers once in a while.
Jul 29 02:19:13 <caribou7> Firewall issue maybe?
Jul 29 02:21:04 <lizardkok> don't think so...was able to telnet, http and ping prior to that. No firewall change.
Jul 29 02:21:53 <lizardkok> when I remove the slinged USB Disk, can access it.
Jul 29 02:22:42 <lizardkok> Sigh...am wondering why I'm facing all these problems :(
Jul 29 02:32:16 <lizardkok> hi...sorry to be bothering you guys again :(
Jul 29 02:32:54 <lizardkok> I just restarted everything...flashing unslung 6.8 beta
Jul 29 02:33:35 <lizardkok> rebooting, enable telnet, inserting a single partition pre FAT16 formatted USB Minidrive (6GB),
Jul 29 02:33:41 <lizardkok> then format it via webif
Jul 29 02:34:17 <lizardkok> after format, webif reports that the drive is format as FAT16/32
Jul 29 02:34:32 <lizardkok> I took the drive to a linux machind and did a "fdisk -l"
Jul 29 02:34:38 <lizardkok> this is what it reported:
Jul 29 02:35:27 <lizardkok> Disk /dev/sdb: 6000 MB, 6000132096 bytes
Jul 29 02:36:43 <lizardkok> erh...I mean, it report 3 linux partitions, one of them a swap
Jul 29 02:37:23 <lizardkok> so I wondering why does webif report FAT16/32 when the drive is already partition and formatted as EXT3 partitions?
Jul 29 02:41:48 <lizardkok> anyone had the same problem and solved it?
Jul 29 02:56:26 <lizardkok> sorry to be a bother...but any kind soul who can help me?
