Aug 18 04:19:03 <alex_mayorga> good night everyone
Aug 18 04:19:53 <alex_mayorga> I'vr just upgraded to Unslung 6.8 beta via the sercomm tool
Aug 18 04:20:17 <alex_mayorga> but I ended with a yellow ready/status 
Aug 18 04:20:34 <alex_mayorga> LED, what to do? I've searched the wiki already
Aug 18 04:20:39 <alex_mayorga> please advise
Aug 18 04:22:12 <alex_mayorga> ideas??
Aug 18 04:24:54 <alex_mayorga> is there a way around a steady yellow Ready/Status LED??
Aug 18 04:52:37 <tuv> alex_mayorga, did you try to re-flash?
Aug 18 05:00:50 <alex_mayorga> tuv: It wont let me
Aug 18 05:01:16 <alex_mayorga> I've done something worst, I've cracked the thing open, removed the battery and reassembled
Aug 18 05:01:25 <alex_mayorga> I've got 2 green leds now
Aug 18 05:01:37 <alex_mayorga> let me try to hit the web interface
Aug 18 05:03:32 <alex_mayorga> jeez, the status is again yellow
Aug 18 05:03:56 <alex_mayorga> what can be going awry here??
Aug 18 05:04:18 <tuv> you still should be able to re-flash using sercomm.. 
Aug 18 05:04:48 <alex_mayorga> even if I cant put it in upgrade mode??
Aug 18 05:04:50 <tuv> doesn't the slug get into upgrade mode (the reset button method)?
Aug 18 05:05:19 <alex_mayorga> let me give it another shoot, but it didn't before
Aug 18 05:08:12 <alex_mayorga_> it worked this time
Aug 18 05:08:28 <alex_mayorga_> I'll load the linksys firmware for now
Aug 18 05:08:32 <alex_mayorga_> see if it works
Aug 18 05:10:04 <alex_mayorga_> tuv: can I use the sercomm tool to go back to linksys?
Aug 18 05:10:29 <tuv> alex_mayorga, i don't see why not
Aug 18 05:11:00 <alex_mayorga_> any ckues about the yellow ready/status??
Aug 18 05:11:12 <alex_mayorga_> saw a couple of cases on the mailing list
Aug 18 05:11:27 <tuv> btw, even if the reset method didn't work, you can telnet to redboot (docs on the wiki)
Aug 18 05:11:49 <tuv> probably to indicate a bad flash or something
Aug 18 05:12:16 <alex_mayorga_> let see if I get it right this time
Aug 18 05:12:34 <alex_mayorga_> the dang thing has never worked reliably for me
Aug 18 05:14:19 <alex_mayorga_> tuv: is it better to use sercomm or the utility bundled by linksys??
Aug 18 05:15:41 <tuv> you mean the web interface upgrade page? if you're running linksys firmware i don't think it makes any difference. but the web interface upgrade page doesn't work on all firmwares while sercomm does
Aug 18 05:16:19 <alex_mayorga_> no I mean an utility called EraseAll that comes whit the newest linksys firmware
Aug 18 05:17:05 <alex_mayorga_> this one http://linksys.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/linksys.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2901&p_created=1124756239&p_sid=jXQSgmfi&p_accessibility=0&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9NzUmcF9wcm9kcz0wJnBfY2F0cz0mcF9wdj0mcF9jdj0mcF9zZWFyY2hfdHlwZT1hbnN3ZXJzLnNlYXJjaF9ubCZwX3NjZl9sYW5nPTEmcF9wYWdlPTEmcF9zZWFyY2hfdGV4dD1uc2x1MiBmaXJtd2FyZQ**&p_li=&p_topview=1
Aug 18 05:17:13 <RaYmAn-Bx> they don't exactly do the same thing =P EraseAll, surprisingly ;), erases all :P
Aug 18 05:18:27 <alex_mayorga_> the thing doesnt work, so erasing all won't do much harm
Aug 18 05:18:36 <alex_mayorga_> here I go :)
Aug 18 05:19:00 <tuv> oh.. i saw a warning against it somewhere, but can't remember the context. i use upslug2 ( for linux) and it always works for me
Aug 18 05:19:10 <RaYmAn-Bx> well, as far as I have understood EraseAll deletes the bootloader as well
Aug 18 05:19:23 <RaYmAn-Bx> so you should only used it if it's really messed up
Aug 18 05:19:31 <tuv> is there means to restore the boot loader?
Aug 18 05:19:36 <alex_mayorga_> so sercomm then?
Aug 18 05:20:14 <alex_mayorga_> did you see my story about the steady yellow LED??
Aug 18 05:20:31 <RaYmAn-Bx> tuv: it would be a bit silly of them to release a util that entirely bricks people's slugs ;)
Aug 18 05:20:36 <tuv> alex_mayorga, if you can get into the upgrade mode, you should be able to flash a fresh firmware and your problem should be fixed
Aug 18 05:21:41 <alex_mayorga_> I'll go back to "official" firmware and call it a night if I can get the web interface for now
Aug 18 05:21:58 <alex_mayorga_> the sercomm tool is doing its thing
Aug 18 05:22:42 <alex_mayorga_> hopefully there won't be a brown out here :)
Aug 18 05:23:49 <alex_mayorga_> are there any reports of known defective units some where??
Aug 18 05:23:59 <tuv> RaYmAn-Bx, so what's the point of erasing everything? like re-installing the boot loader or what?
Aug 18 05:24:19 <RaYmAn-Bx> tuv: good question :) No idea...But I suppose the point is to re-install the bootloader
Aug 18 05:25:47 <alex_mayorga_> ups! the sercomm errored out :(
Aug 18 05:26:10 <alex_mayorga_> not my lucky day
Aug 18 05:26:20 <tuv> once i flashed my first non-linksys firmware i never used any linksys firmware again
Aug 18 05:26:30 <alex_mayorga_> it stalled at 2%
Aug 18 05:26:42 <tuv> it stalled or reported an error?
Aug 18 05:26:45 <alex_mayorga_> now I've got red and green led
Aug 18 05:26:50 <alex_mayorga_> reported error
Aug 18 05:27:04 <alex_mayorga_> something about the printer port and try again??
Aug 18 05:27:29 <alex_mayorga_> do I try to go to upgrade mode again??
Aug 18 05:27:56 <tuv> alex_mayorga_, i'd give another shot. the other options are a little more risky. but there are other options
Aug 18 05:28:23 <alex_mayorga> tuv: do I cut power, press reset, then power and stuff?
Aug 18 05:28:40 <tuv> alex_mayorga, that could be good
Aug 18 05:30:10 <RaYmAn-Bx> as long as you can get into redboot you should be fairly safe
Aug 18 05:30:11 <tuv> alex_mayorga, well that's how you get into upgrade mode, isn't it?
Aug 18 05:30:18 <RaYmAn-Bx> unless your flash is dead
Aug 18 05:30:56 <tuv> i think it's fairly hard to break the flash
Aug 18 05:31:14 <RaYmAn-Bx> sure, but it can die all by itself :P
Aug 18 05:31:32 <alex_mayorga> man, you're starting to scare me
Aug 18 05:31:35 <alex_mayorga> :)
Aug 18 05:33:19 <tuv> i tried to prevent that ;)
Aug 18 05:33:58 <alex_mayorga> looks like I've got a nice door stoper
Aug 18 05:34:24 <alex_mayorga> removed power then plugged back
Aug 18 05:34:43 <alex_mayorga> every let but the power button is off
Aug 18 05:36:45 <alex_mayorga> any vudu procedures to revive??
Aug 18 05:36:55 <RaYmAn-Bx> JTAG
Aug 18 05:37:04 <alex_mayorga> linky?
Aug 18 05:37:12 <RaYmAn-Bx> check the wiki
Aug 18 05:37:24 <RaYmAn-Bx> it's fairly complicated
Aug 18 05:40:10 <alex_mayorga> yeap, sounds creepy
Aug 18 05:40:42 <RaYmAn-Bx> if the thing is 'dead' anyways, the worst thing that can happen is that it becomes deader ;)
Aug 18 05:41:18 <alex_mayorga> good point
Aug 18 05:43:19 <alex_mayorga> no LEDs = dead ??
Aug 18 05:45:03 <tuv> sometimes computes like to rest. maybe it'll work tomorrow (TM)
Aug 18 05:48:57 <alex_mayorga> it decided to go in upgrade mode for the last time thonight
Aug 18 05:49:06 <alex_mayorga> let's see if it completes
Aug 18 05:49:22 <alex_mayorga> 5%
Aug 18 05:54:13 <RaYmAn-Bx> good luck
Aug 18 05:58:31 <alex_mayorga> it crashed again, I guess is time to go get some sleep
Aug 18 11:52:35 <lanwin> a question..is there any restriction of DebianSlug compared to unslug unti the webinterface?
Aug 18 13:03:28 <tuv> lanwin, there is no web interface for debianslug
Aug 18 13:36:39 <lanwin> yes ok thats what i know..but now other limitations?
Aug 18 13:50:50 <tuv> lanwin, otherwise there are plenty of limitations in unslung compared to debianslug. the only other difference is linksys firmware compatibility
Aug 18 13:59:14 <RaYmAn-Bx> hmm, can the NSLU2 WOL?
Aug 18 13:59:37 <RaYmAn-Bx> not that that's particuarly useful, but still.
Aug 18 13:59:53 <Nymus> anonyone knows if is possible to install FP server extensions on apache 2.0.54?
Aug 18 14:02:06 <drif> nymus: was that question meant as in general? or slug-specific somehow
Aug 18 14:04:39 <drif> nymus: start from here http://www.faure.de/Apache+SSL+PHP+fp-howto-1p.html
Aug 18 14:06:51 <tuv> how do i upgrade my python from 2.3 to 2.4. i have python, python2.3, and python2.4 installed and removing python2.3 will remove other dependant stuff
Aug 18 14:08:03 <Nymus> thx drif
Aug 18 14:08:06 <Nymus> will have a look at it
Aug 18 14:08:13 <Nymus> i havent installed apache yet
Aug 18 14:08:44 <Nymus> id like to create asp pages that use an access database
Aug 18 14:08:57 <Nymus> do you know if i can run those on the apache with fp extensions?
Aug 18 14:09:12 <drif> I'm no fp expert at all
Aug 18 14:09:31 <Nymus> normally i dont need FP
Aug 18 14:09:40 <Nymus> but i guess apache wont support ASP pages
Aug 18 14:09:58 <drif> nymus: http://www.apache-asp.org/
Aug 18 14:10:06 <RaYmAn-Bx> you can get asp.net support(well, limited) by installing mono.
Aug 18 14:10:18 <RaYmAn-Bx> you don't really want asp anyways :S
Aug 18 14:10:26 <Nymus> why not?
Aug 18 14:10:29 <Nymus> asp will do the trick
Aug 18 14:10:32 <RaYmAn-Bx> it's crap? :)
Aug 18 14:10:39 <drif> so does many other things?
Aug 18 14:10:46 <Nymus> thx again drif :)
Aug 18 14:10:49 <Nymus> will have a look at it
Aug 18 14:10:54 <Nymus> hopefully ill get it to work
Aug 18 14:11:02 <Nymus> why is it crap RaYmAn-Bx?
Aug 18 14:11:08 <Nymus> cuz u work in .net :)
Aug 18 14:12:19 <RaYmAn-Bx> asp is a horrible language, it's slow and there are far better alternatives. asp.net or even PHP
Aug 18 14:12:31 <drif> has anyone used slug to recharge for example flash based mp3-players?
Aug 18 14:13:07 <drif> or should I have powered hub in between
Aug 18 14:13:29 <Nymus> can't really say its slow
Aug 18 14:13:39 <Nymus> hmz adding asp to apache doesn't seem very easy
Aug 18 14:13:56 <Nymus> will know what to do this weekend :p
Aug 18 14:14:01 * tuv likes jsp/java servlets
Aug 18 14:14:10 <Nymus> lol
Aug 18 14:14:27 <Nymus> i just want a small database applic with few forms to run on slug
Aug 18 14:14:30 <Nymus> thats all :)
Aug 18 14:14:41 <tuv> php sounds perfect then
Aug 18 14:14:45 <drif> nymus: php with mysql or sqllite?
Aug 18 14:15:07 <Nymus> i know
Aug 18 14:15:16 <Nymus> but not that experienced with php
Aug 18 14:15:22 <drif> time to learn :P
Aug 18 14:15:27 <drif> it's not hard at all
Aug 18 14:15:28 <Nymus> and setting up mysql on the slug dunno :)
Aug 18 14:15:29 <tuv> and very easy to integrate into apache
Aug 18 14:15:41 <drif> nymus: which firmware you're running?
Aug 18 14:15:44 <Nymus> perhaps i should try and create it in php
Aug 18 14:15:54 <Nymus> would be an opportunity to get started with it
Aug 18 14:16:05 <drif> you can also skip apache and use php-thttpd
Aug 18 14:16:13 <tuv> or lighttpd
Aug 18 14:16:19 <Nymus> guess im still runnin v5
Aug 18 14:16:21 * tuv likes lighttpd :)
Aug 18 14:16:22 <drif> much less demanding on resources
Aug 18 14:16:28 <drif> nymus: same here
Aug 18 14:16:40 <drif> nymus: and php-thttpd with mysql works great
Aug 18 14:17:22 <Nymus> ok
Aug 18 14:17:23 <drif> nymus: actually just by installing that package it's all pretty much set up and running
Aug 18 14:17:36 <Nymus> is it in one package?
Aug 18 14:17:43 <Nymus> boty php and mysql?
Aug 18 14:17:49 <drif> php-thttpd is one and mysql in own
Aug 18 14:17:50 <Nymus> will have a look at the ipkg list
Aug 18 14:18:23 <Nymus> how can i check my unslung version?
Aug 18 14:18:26 <Nymus> so that i know for sure
Aug 18 14:18:38 <drif> if you're going to use mysqladmin though - prepare for slow and somewhat unpredictable results
Aug 18 14:18:38 <Nymus> suppose there is a version file somewhere
Aug 18 14:18:47 <Nymus> lol
Aug 18 14:18:53 <Nymus> sounds great
Aug 18 14:18:54 <Nymus> :p
Aug 18 14:19:13 <drif> but I do most of my admin stuff with php/perl anyway
Aug 18 14:23:35 <Nymus> pitty there isnt a package containing apache+ASP
Aug 18 14:32:25 <Nymus> after installing php-thttpd should i alter the thttpd.conf file?
Aug 18 14:34:25 <Nymus> k np
Aug 18 14:34:29 <Nymus> works like a charm
Aug 18 14:34:37 <Nymus> now need to install mysql
Aug 18 14:34:42 <Nymus> hopefully goes as smooth
Aug 18 14:49:08 <Nymus> ok mysql is crap
Aug 18 14:49:15 <Nymus> drif still around?
Aug 18 14:54:36 <Nymus> gtg will find drif later :p
