**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Nov 12 02:59:57 2006 Nov 12 03:44:08 okay, is tar'ing a whole hd for the nslu2 a good way to backup? Nov 12 03:48:15 i'm not sure tar handles device files properly Nov 12 03:48:57 this is what i do, to backup my rootfs to a folder (which can be a nfs mount to another machine): Nov 12 03:49:05 cd / Nov 12 03:49:05 find . | cpio -pamvd /slugbackup/sda1-101106/ Nov 12 03:49:55 it *seems* to copy everything right, but i never tried restoring such backups Nov 12 03:50:05 so double check what i'm saying Nov 12 03:50:44 I don't even understand Nov 12 03:50:50 so double checking will not prove much help Nov 12 03:51:33 * DrJ must find a way to backup Nov 12 03:51:34 then google is your friend ;) Nov 12 03:52:04 when the day comes that the hd crashes I will probably go into depression if I do not have a backup Nov 12 03:52:48 do you have only one partition, or two? i.e., one for your root filesystem, and another for your data? Nov 12 03:52:56 I have one Nov 12 03:54:23 well i dunno. check the wiki. there must be some package around to setup backup jobs Nov 12 03:54:28 if there was a way I could make my admin share (the one that has access to / ) have complete access (777) to everthing, I could backup from windows Nov 12 03:54:54 but many things it does not have access too Nov 12 03:55:52 you can't store a linux root filesystem on a windows ntfs filesystem. Nov 12 03:56:25 well, I could use magiciso to create an image Nov 12 03:56:41 linux file permissions must be handled properly, and there are device files that you won't be able to access correctly through a share Nov 12 03:56:52 10anyone has success with Debian/NSLU2 installs yet? Nov 12 03:57:01 what if I connected my hd to my computer Nov 12 03:57:11 and create an image of it with magic iso Nov 12 03:57:13 ecam, yupp, i got one running last night Nov 12 03:57:35 DrJ: i don't know Nov 12 03:57:49 I'm afraid though that windows might try to do something to it without my permission Nov 12 03:57:50 10wow, tell me how you've done it Nov 12 03:57:54 10RC1? Nov 12 03:58:01 you know windows Nov 12 03:58:14 like this: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Nov 12 03:58:31 10yeah, tried that Nov 12 03:58:50 10the nslu screws up after the firmware update, never got the 3 beeps Nov 12 03:59:01 10what was your network config when you done it? Nov 12 03:59:17 how do you do the update? Nov 12 03:59:39 from the linksys firmware or using the sercomm utility? Nov 12 04:00:17 10linksys... Nov 12 04:00:47 10i reset sysconf and reflash stock firmware, then fill in the static network stuff and reflash from linksys management Nov 12 04:02:28 what are the advantages of debianslug over unslung? Nov 12 04:02:47 10debianslug isnt tied down by the linksys firmware Nov 12 04:03:01 you should give the sercomm utility a try. first reflash stock firmware again and configure static network, then turn off the nslu2, restart it in upgrade mode, and flash it with the sercomm upgrade utility Nov 12 04:03:21 http://www.everbesthk.com/8-download/sercomm/firmware/all_router_utility.zip Nov 12 04:03:34 so debianslug wont retain the functionality of the linksys firmware Nov 12 04:03:49 10i think i tried that too! Nov 12 04:04:01 10ya, but you get better stuff if you know your stuff Nov 12 04:04:38 * DrJ is considering buying a nslu2 and hd on ebay and installing debian on it Nov 12 04:04:45 10one of them is better support for multiple harddrives Nov 12 04:05:10 maybe having unslung do the network file stuff Nov 12 04:05:14 and debian all the server crap Nov 12 04:05:30 10my suggestion is to wait a while and see if the DS106 gets a proper firmware, then buy the DS106 instead Nov 12 04:06:41 ecam: the sercomm utility never failed, for me. are you sure the file you are flashing isn't corrupted? Nov 12 04:07:34 DrJ: you can't have both running on a slug. is that what you were meaning? Nov 12 04:07:35 no Nov 12 04:07:35 I will have two slugs Nov 12 04:07:35 ok sorry Nov 12 04:07:35 10i checked the md5, its correct Nov 12 04:07:48 I already have one Nov 12 04:08:22 10ohh... Nov 12 04:08:30 ecam: are you sure the slug was in upgrade mode? i think when it is you can ping it at 192.168.1.1 Nov 12 04:08:49 10i can ping 192.168.0.1 Nov 12 04:09:01 yeah, must be .0.1 Nov 12 04:10:08 10i heard it could be the network settings that's giving problems Nov 12 04:10:24 do you ever get the three beeps? Nov 12 04:10:32 10nope Nov 12 04:10:44 then i doubt it is a networking problem Nov 12 04:10:57 your nslu2 never boots up after the slash Nov 12 04:11:02 10i'm not sure, the firmware loads, i can see Nov 12 04:11:22 10it just never gets to fullt load i think Nov 12 04:12:29 tried without any hdd plugged in? Nov 12 04:12:38 10my slug seems to be acting weird though, it stops responding when i try to set it to use hdcp Nov 12 04:12:47 10yeah, been doing it without any hd plugged in Nov 12 04:13:08 when you set dhcp from the linksys firmware? Nov 12 04:13:14 10yeah Nov 12 04:13:27 10and i have to turn it off (the power button works) and on again Nov 12 04:13:37 10but it'll be back to using static again Nov 12 04:13:46 are you sure you have a dhcp on your network? Nov 12 04:14:16 10yeah, when i put in slugos, its dhcp works Nov 12 04:14:56 anyway you've set it up to static now, right? so it's not really the problem... Nov 12 04:15:37 didn't work with the french mirror either. Nov 12 04:15:46 damn Nov 12 04:17:23 i'm afraid i'm not gonna be very helpful... Nov 12 04:17:27 10:-/ Nov 12 04:17:50 closing to 6am, i have to go get some sleep Nov 12 04:18:07 10lol, go ahead then, thanks for your help! Nov 12 04:18:20 good luck to you two... nite Nov 12 04:18:31 thanks. Nov 12 04:18:47 hey ecam, hows yours ? Nov 12 04:18:54 10oh well, are there any debianslug devs here? Nov 12 04:19:09 10been trying for more than 18 hours, not getting anywhere Nov 12 04:19:19 same. Nov 12 04:19:36 10it just gets stuck on first reboot, where did you get stuck? Nov 12 04:20:23 after the base installs. Nov 12 04:20:35 10so you did get into the installer? Nov 12 04:20:56 mine did get stuck after the first reboot, but it was a ip addy issue. Nov 12 04:21:12 also patience is needed. about 15 mins Nov 12 04:21:19 10oh? you mind describing it? Nov 12 04:21:28 10i waited 30min, no luck Nov 12 04:25:34 10hmm... Nov 12 04:26:18 30 mins would be enough for sure. Nov 12 04:26:44 10what was the colour of your status light? Nov 12 04:26:47 10mine was solid red Nov 12 04:27:23 red and green. solid. Nov 12 04:27:45 10as in red for status, green for eth? Nov 12 04:31:44 10weird, does your nslu's leds flash in some pattern when it starts up? Nov 12 04:32:32 sure does. Nov 12 04:32:41 settles down quickly enough though. Nov 12 04:32:45 10like a sepeating sequence of Status->Disk2->Disk1->Status->Disk2->Disk1->..... Nov 12 04:32:45 10*repeating sequence Nov 12 04:32:52 yeah Nov 12 04:32:54 10that's after debian right? Nov 12 04:33:30 10it appears that mine is still doing the light pattern thing after i reflashed to stock Nov 12 04:33:43 10i'm thinking it installs a bootloader Nov 12 04:34:11 10and its somehow interfering with the operation of my nslu Nov 12 04:34:34 10:O Nov 12 04:34:43 10my nslu just beeped thrice Nov 12 04:36:45 10:O Its working Nov 12 04:36:48 * ecam_ is shocked Nov 12 04:36:53 woo Nov 12 04:37:04 10yay! installer! Nov 12 04:37:19 only a few hours to go. Nov 12 04:37:19 10and what's interesting is i don't know what i did! Nov 12 04:37:27 10lol Nov 12 04:38:01 10do i plug in my hdd now? Nov 12 04:38:16 10can i plug in to port 2? Nov 12 04:38:47 10i remember when i flashed with slugos, it doesn't recognise my hdd when its plugged into port 2 Nov 12 04:41:18 I plugged mine into port 1 and then booted. Nov 12 04:41:52 10hmm, i'll try port 2, because i want to keep compatibility with unslung just in case something goes wrong Nov 12 04:44:41 10oh yeah, what filesystem you used? have you tried resiser or xfs? Nov 12 04:47:58 ext3 Nov 12 04:48:32 10hmm, okay... Nov 12 07:28:12 I need some big time help Nov 12 07:28:34 10cant find little red? Nov 12 07:29:14 I started asking questions here: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/15756 Nov 12 07:29:55 I then tried this: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/message/5409 Nov 12 07:30:41 but my slug won't let me format my flash drive (Disk 2 isn't HDD) Nov 12 07:31:04 anyone there? Nov 12 07:31:29 10ya Nov 12 07:31:34 10i'm trying to follow Nov 12 07:32:32 great, the situation: Nov 12 07:32:44 I have installed unslung fw Nov 12 07:32:57 but I have an issue with my flash drive Nov 12 07:33:28 in the past is has been working with the same flash drie, but I messed around too much Nov 12 07:33:30 10flash drive is in disk1 or 2? Nov 12 07:33:34 2 Nov 12 07:33:45 10unslung to disk 1 or 2? Nov 12 07:34:01 extract from mount: /dev/sda1 on /share/flash/data/HDD_2_1_1 type vfat (rw) Nov 12 07:34:20 10hmm? Nov 12 07:34:31 I haven't unslung, because the flash is making problems Nov 12 07:34:33 10you seem to have a usb hub installed? Nov 12 07:34:37 no hub Nov 12 07:34:53 10seems like the linksys firmware is seeing one Nov 12 07:35:04 ??? Nov 12 07:35:34 10try turning off the nslu unplug everything except for the eth power and usb drive Nov 12 07:35:56 going down... Nov 12 07:36:07 ...and up again Nov 12 07:36:13 10only when you have more than one device or partition on port 2 does the firmware mount your drive as HDD_X_X_X Nov 12 07:36:45 This is the mount output with the flash plugged in: Nov 12 07:37:02 10hmm, after it restarts, see if its still mounting it that way Nov 12 07:39:43 10how is it? Nov 12 07:42:46 10hmmm... Nov 12 07:43:27 sorry... Nov 12 07:44:40 what part of the mount do you want? Nov 12 07:45:13 10the ones with sdax or sdbx Nov 12 07:45:31 I don't see any Nov 12 07:45:37 I'll post all Nov 12 07:45:50 10okay, careful of chanserv kicking Nov 12 07:45:56 10do it slowly Nov 12 07:46:13 '/dev/mtdblock4 on / type jffs2 (rw) Nov 12 07:46:21 (I put the colon) Nov 12 07:46:28 10okay, skip all the mtblocks Nov 12 07:46:29 '/proc on /proc type proc (rw) Nov 12 07:46:41 usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) Nov 12 07:46:50 '/dev/mtdblock4 on /dev.state type jffs2 (rw) Nov 12 07:46:57 ramfs on /dev type ramfs (rw) Nov 12 07:47:04 '/dev/mtdblock4 on /var.state type jffs2 (rw) Nov 12 07:47:12 ramfs on /var type ramfs (rw) Nov 12 07:47:17 none on /tmp type ramfs (rw) Nov 12 07:47:20 done Nov 12 07:47:23 10weird Nov 12 07:47:37 10your flash drive's plugged in? Nov 12 07:47:41 nope Nov 12 07:47:45 10what does the linksys page say? Nov 12 07:47:57 10okay... Nov 12 07:48:05 10do you have anything important on the flash drive? Nov 12 07:48:21 no, I've repartioned it plenty of times Nov 12 07:48:37 10okay, try deleting all the partitions on another computer first Nov 12 07:49:49 done Nov 12 07:49:58 10okay Nov 12 07:50:09 10plug it in and restart the nslu Nov 12 07:50:11 10err Nov 12 07:50:13 10turn off Nov 12 07:50:18 10then plug in, then turn on Nov 12 07:51:02 sorry I've got an urgensy Nov 12 07:51:05 I'll be back Nov 12 07:51:15 10okay Nov 12 08:51:56 10is that wolf_from_paris? Nov 12 09:32:06 yes I'm Wolf from Paris, but I'm still busy... Nov 12 09:32:17 k Nov 12 09:32:27 10ok Nov 12 09:32:42 ...unless you've had a "magic" idea Nov 12 09:33:34 10well, i was thinking you use the unpartitioned flash drive and format it via the nslu interface Nov 12 09:35:22 I'll boot up the slug with the flash drive plugged in Nov 12 09:35:50 10ok Nov 12 09:37:23 USB Port 2: Ready (FAT/NTFS), 494MB (100% Free) Nov 12 09:37:43 10okay, format it Nov 12 09:37:54 10from the linux web console Nov 12 09:37:59 10*linksys Nov 12 09:40:04 formatting... Nov 12 09:40:33 (I've logged into telnet in parallel) Nov 12 09:40:57 10when its done, do a mount and check if its correectly mounted Nov 12 09:41:08 10then unsling to it Nov 12 09:41:26 formatting... Nov 12 09:41:55 I've had to mount both partitions for unsling to work properly Nov 12 09:42:02 Formatted (FAT16/32) Nov 12 09:42:09 10weird... Nov 12 09:42:24 10both partitions? Nov 12 09:42:38 '/dev/sda1 on /share/flash/data type ext3 (rw) Nov 12 09:42:39 10why are there two partitions? Nov 12 09:42:39 '/dev/sda2 on /share/flash/conf type ext3 (rw,sync) Nov 12 09:42:46 10yeah... Nov 12 09:42:55 to be fair, it failed with both partitions unmounted; then I mounted them and retry Nov 12 09:42:57 10you should be able to unsling now Nov 12 09:43:25 data and conf... Nov 12 09:43:44 '/sbin/unsling disk2 Nov 12 09:43:55 10uh huh Nov 12 09:46:02 10so how it go? Nov 12 09:46:11 don't know if necessary, but I created 2 data partitions and 1 swap on a flash drive, as explained in the wiki. That seemed to work fine. Nov 12 09:47:21 maybe it wasn't necessary since I later formatted it from the web i/f. Nov 12 09:47:56 10the extra swap is to give better performance i think, shouldn't affect much Nov 12 09:48:26 how much ram does it have? Nov 12 09:48:35 10i think 8mb Nov 12 09:48:42 Unsling complete. Nov 12 09:48:44 Leave the device disk2, /dev/sda1 plugged in, and reboot Nov 12 09:48:46 in order to boot this system up into unslung mode. Nov 12 09:48:54 I've got to run... Nov 12 09:48:56 I'll continue later Nov 12 09:49:00 10ok Nov 12 09:49:03 10see you Nov 12 09:49:46 what a point to stop! the last 5 minutes to glory :P Nov 12 09:49:59 10lol Nov 12 09:50:14 10i'm suffering in agony waiting for my debian install to finish Nov 12 09:50:31 10apparently i chose too many packages, i think it installed X too Nov 12 09:50:53 i'm stoked; just bought it and flashed it today 8) Nov 12 09:51:05 lol... X! Nov 12 09:51:22 10oh, what fw did you flash to? Nov 12 09:51:48 10yeah, apparently i selected some packages that automatically installed X, ho hum Nov 12 09:51:51 unslung 6.8b Nov 12 09:51:59 oh boy Nov 12 09:52:50 10i used to use unslung, but got fed up when it cant take more than 2 harddrives connected and the internal samba wasn't working too well Nov 12 09:53:03 oh Nov 12 09:53:32 i'll need it for thttpd and samba... let's see how it goes Nov 12 09:54:00 i'd love to be able to connect my webcam Nov 12 09:54:13 so I can shutdown my [noisy] server Nov 12 09:54:27 10that'll be fun Nov 12 09:54:57 10i was thinking of a video server with tv tuners, but i'll have to find a linux supported one first Nov 12 09:55:02 yeah... my wife already hates it heh ;) Nov 12 09:55:29 10lol, the server's noise? Nov 12 09:55:29 uh that's a good one Nov 12 09:56:26 10yeah, but i'm worried it cant take the processing power, so i'll have to find (expensive) mpeg tuners Nov 12 09:56:39 luckily it stays in the living room... Nov 12 09:56:53 the server! :P Nov 12 09:57:07 10lol, at least mine's old enough not to need a noisy fan Nov 12 09:57:53 cool, my p3 doesn't have a fan and it'd be a perfect server, but the supply is horribly loud Nov 12 09:58:13 10lol, supply noisy? that's new! Nov 12 09:58:28 yeah, unbearable Nov 12 09:59:07 10sounds dangerous, maybe its getting stuck or something Nov 12 09:59:37 it's probably just too old/[r|d]usty Nov 12 10:00:28 10mine's been running for six years as its still so quiet, i cant hear anything even when i'm beside it. Nov 12 10:00:34 10*and Nov 12 10:03:39 nice Nov 12 10:04:04 10yeah, its hard to find such good components nowadays Nov 12 10:04:11 10brb, lunch Nov 12 10:04:21 that's why I like seagates's hds Nov 12 10:04:24 ok Nov 12 10:04:56 * saned asks himself 'lunch at 2am??' Nov 12 10:09:56 Hello all, I have read the FAQ, but cannot find the procedure how to start over when you messed op the Unlung linux env. Nov 12 10:10:23 just reflash it. Nov 12 10:10:43 put it into update mode first. Nov 12 10:10:58 @matholio just reflash with the same unlung firmware? Nov 12 10:11:28 if it messed up, reflash with whatever you want. Nov 12 10:11:28 @matholio: and how dos the disk get clean then? Nov 12 10:11:42 oh, you have an external hdd ? Nov 12 10:11:48 yep, Nov 12 10:12:05 i have been installing to try out some software Nov 12 10:12:12 just format it Nov 12 10:12:12 plug it into another computer and erase the partitions. Nov 12 10:12:14 now I wnat to clean things uo Nov 12 10:12:40 ok Nov 12 10:13:05 well, you will need to format it after. Nov 12 10:13:05 I don't believe you even have to do that Nov 12 10:13:13 I think it will format and partition itself Nov 12 10:13:28 I thought something on the flash in the nslu2 handled that Nov 12 10:13:54 It is still working... Nov 12 10:14:00 if you reflash back to factory, you can format it in the web management pages. Nov 12 10:14:11 but I have had that not work too. Nov 12 10:14:33 I just want to start with a fresh linux part of it Nov 12 10:15:37 like running unsling over it? Nov 12 10:16:01 yep, to get a clean filesystem Nov 12 10:16:04 that didn;t work for me, not unless the drive was reformated (ext3) Nov 12 10:16:43 aren't they all ext3 when you unslug it Nov 12 10:17:08 but I cant reformat the disk on the nslu2 because the linux part is running... Nov 12 10:18:49 I could format the disk with PM and use the unslinging procedure again, should that work? Nov 12 10:19:23 I would erase the hdd on xp, boot the nlsu with out the hdd, connect it, format it, unsling it. Nov 12 10:19:46 ok, great, I will try Nov 12 10:22:22 * ecam_ is back Nov 12 10:22:37 10saned: timezone difference! Nov 12 10:22:47 hehe Nov 12 10:23:13 +8 GMT here Nov 12 10:23:33 10hmm? you sure? Nov 12 10:23:39 no lol Nov 12 10:23:56 -8? somet'n like that Nov 12 10:23:57 10its 10:46am GMT Nov 12 10:24:02 10ahh, okay Nov 12 10:25:09 10i still want to know if the Debian/NSLU2 fw does anything to the bootloader Nov 12 10:26:29 still no joy ecam ? Nov 12 10:26:48 I thought you had the installer running ? Nov 12 10:26:54 10well, a little, somehow i managed to get the installer running Nov 12 10:27:16 10yeah, but the nslu's acting different since i flashed it with the debian installer Nov 12 10:27:55 10the nslu still does the flashy led pattern thinngy with or without custom fw Nov 12 10:28:08 10so i guess some sort of permanent change was done Nov 12 10:42:03 10oh boy...

Nov 12 10:58:51 the blue is even more annoying ;P Nov 12 10:58:54 a) file server to be used on a public static IP so I can reach my files from home and work Nov 12 10:59:08 b) a low power torrent client Nov 12 10:59:09 blue's not annoying, just invisible Nov 12 10:59:38 wow, his (probably) first few hours and he's so into the nslu Nov 12 10:59:53 10okay, sounds like unslung can do it, for beginners Nov 12 10:59:56 given these two requirements and that I have used Debian quite a lot Nov 12 11:00:08 what would be the easiest path for me ? Nov 12 11:00:14 another red pill Nov 12 11:00:34 lol, look for those packages in unslug first Nov 12 11:00:40 security wise I would like to have the knowck server and a firewall ansd ssh/sftp and or https Nov 12 11:00:47 10ya, unslung has the packages Nov 12 11:00:49 is there reliable torrent-client yet? Nov 12 11:01:10 define reliable :) Nov 12 11:01:26 thanks ecam Nov 12 11:01:31 works with trackers (actually connects), doesn't drop your slug on its knees... Nov 12 11:01:37 so unslung could be my first choice Nov 12 11:01:38 10rjalex, you can try the debian installer... http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Nov 12 11:01:58 that also looks fine Nov 12 11:02:15 but as I am lazy person maybe unslung will be easier/quicker ? Nov 12 11:02:22 10yup Nov 12 11:02:39 10just unslung, ipkg the packages and you're off Nov 12 11:02:51 joga: so, suggestions? Nov 12 11:03:34 drif well, I haven't used torrent with the slug, but I'd try rtorrent first myself Nov 12 11:04:19 anyone used transmission? Nov 12 11:04:32 thanks a lot !!! Nov 12 11:04:37 very kind of you Nov 12 11:04:45 just a last question Nov 12 11:04:51 10well, these are a few packages available with torrent in unslung: http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/result.php?query=torrent&searchtype=package§ion= Nov 12 11:04:59 the admin http server will be on the public internet Nov 12 11:05:08 how can I protect that ? Nov 12 11:05:24 (maybe dumb question since I still have not even powered on the uit) Nov 12 11:05:24 10you can just use simple htaccess Nov 12 11:05:33 omg Nov 12 11:05:39 10? Nov 12 11:05:50 so only basic auth on http ? Nov 12 11:06:09 10well, it comes with php support and stuff, you can code by yourself Nov 12 11:06:24 10but what do you mean the admin http server? Nov 12 11:07:19 oops, web i/f is gone- possibly in conflict with thttpd? I restarted it Nov 12 11:07:28 exit Nov 12 11:07:36 sorry gtg now Nov 12 11:07:36 thanks for all Nov 12 11:07:46 10okay, bye!

Nov 12 13:54:45 USB Port 1: Not Installed Nov 12 13:54:47 USB Port 2: Not Formatted Nov 12 13:54:51 10ouch Nov 12 13:54:57 uNSLUng status: Unslung to disk2, /dev/sda1 Nov 12 13:55:03 10okay, sorry to put you through this Nov 12 13:55:18 10but turn off your slug Nov 12 13:55:26 10let's start all over Nov 12 13:55:31 turning off Nov 12 13:55:49 (i'll have to go to the playgroung with my daughter soon) Nov 12 13:55:58 slug is off Nov 12 13:56:00 10okay Nov 12 13:56:18 10reboot into redboot, you can do that, can you? Nov 12 13:56:19 what next Nov 12 13:56:42 redboot with linux... Nov 12 13:56:48 10as in Nov 12 13:56:49 I had my routinr in XP Nov 12 13:56:55 10hmm? Nov 12 13:57:11 10unplug your flash drive first Nov 12 13:57:35 10you may now switch back to xp, lol Nov 12 13:57:41 you want me to do the ResetSysConf Nov 12 13:57:44 10sorry to put you through all this Nov 12 13:57:51 I've done that before Nov 12 14:00:22 10nono, i'm thinking of starting all over, i'll give you a summary: Nov 12 14:00:22 resetsysconf, then immediately reflash to original linksys Nov 12 14:00:22 delete all your partitions on your flash drive in xp, do not repartition Nov 12 14:00:22 shut down slug, plug in drive to port 2, turn back up Nov 12 14:00:22 format using built in formatter Nov 12 14:00:22 turn off, unplug drive and turn on slug Nov 12 14:00:24 flash with unslung, turn off Nov 12 14:00:26 plug in drive to drive 2, turn on slug, unsling Nov 12 14:00:28 turn off and on slug Nov 12 14:05:28 10because you repartitioned as FAT32 before formatting in linksys, linksys has a stupid behaviour that just pretends to format the drive if its already formatted, so the drive wasn't formatted at all, and when you unfsling to a FAT32 disk, bad things happen, like this Nov 12 14:12:27 I'l try later I have to go now Nov 12 14:12:32 thanks for your help!!! Nov 12 14:12:59 how do I flasj the firmware from Ubuntu? Nov 12 14:13:27 10hmm Nov 12 14:13:46 10there Nov 12 14:13:52 10*there is a app for it Nov 12 14:14:19 10read the wiki Nov 12 14:15:35 10oh ys Nov 12 14:15:39 10upslug2 Nov 12 14:15:52 10http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug2 Nov 12 15:39:28 Thank you mwester Nov 12 15:39:31 B-) Nov 12 15:41:06 So I just ssh'd into my slug to do some maintenance Nov 12 15:41:20 And the first thing I did was an ipkg update and then an ipkg upgrade Nov 12 15:41:26 It was all great up until here: Nov 12 15:41:32 Configuring dropbear Nov 12 15:41:32 Connection to kaiser closed by remote host. Nov 12 15:41:32 Connection to kaiser closed. Nov 12 15:41:39 (kaiser is the hostname) Nov 12 15:42:10 I guess when it was configuring dropbear, it killed the current dropbear daemon... which killed my connection Nov 12 15:42:35 Now, I can't ssh into the slug anymore Nov 12 15:42:43 telnet? Nov 12 15:43:04 drif: nope Nov 12 15:43:47 you've disabled it - or just not answering? Nov 12 15:43:50 Web interface and SMB work fine Nov 12 15:44:29 drif: I'm guessing I disabled it for some reason. I unslung this slug almost a year ago, so I don't remember all the details of the process Nov 12 15:44:58 tried restarting? Nov 12 15:45:03 yes Nov 12 15:45:15 are you able to enable telnet via admin pages? Nov 12 15:45:22 Oh Nov 12 15:45:28 I'm not sure... I'll give it a try Nov 12 15:47:08 Is there a Web interface to enable services, or do I need to fiddle with config files? Nov 12 15:47:40 http://192.168.1.77/Management/telnet.cgi Nov 12 15:47:45 on my slug's ip Nov 12 16:10:21 That did it Nov 12 16:10:22 Thanks Nov 12 16:32:09 hello my brain is liquefying from reading the wiki Nov 12 16:32:21 10yay, brain pulp Nov 12 16:32:28 any kind human to help me understand a detail ? Nov 12 16:32:31 ciao ecam Nov 12 16:32:38 10hey Nov 12 16:32:38 nice to meet you again Nov 12 16:32:51 10a pleasure to meet you too Nov 12 16:32:54 10what do you need? Nov 12 16:33:07 let me see if I have understood Nov 12 16:33:23 unslung 6.x Nov 12 16:33:43 will use a memory usb stick 1GB on port 2 for the root filesystem Nov 12 16:34:02 and will use an usb hub for my 2 hard disks with FAT32 data on port 1 Nov 12 16:34:08 would that be aok ? Nov 12 16:34:18 10err... the usb stick is okay Nov 12 16:34:29 10but the usb hub part i'm not sure... Nov 12 16:34:55 the usb stick will have to be formatted natively with a quai ext3 filesystem by the slug ? Nov 12 16:35:01 10i heard that a third harddrive connected to a hub would cause the nslu to crash occassionally Nov 12 16:35:05 10yes Nov 12 16:35:21 ok forget the usb hub, 120GB fat32 ahrd disk on port 1 Nov 12 16:35:26 10but if you're connecting two to a hub, i'm not sure if that would give a problem Nov 12 16:35:32 10yeah, that would work Nov 12 16:35:36 great ! Nov 12 16:35:42 10you can put ntfs on it if you want Nov 12 16:36:00 10port 1 can take ntfs Nov 12 16:36:05 well see no reason for that Nov 12 16:36:15 my external USB hdd is FAT32 right now Nov 12 16:36:15 10the fa32 4gb limit? Nov 12 16:36:29 10ahh, alright then Nov 12 16:36:56 10just be careful not to plug in a natively formatted drive into port 1 if you're unslinging to port 2 Nov 12 16:36:59 maybe it's simple FAT, not FAT32 having a 4GB limit ??? Nov 12 16:37:05 ok Nov 12 16:37:07 that is clear Nov 12 16:37:24 10its FAT32, some sort of theoratical limit for it Nov 12 16:37:39 native 1 GB usb stick on port 2, FAT32 120GB data hard disk on port 1 Nov 12 16:37:45 10yup Nov 12 16:37:48 interesting Nov 12 16:37:50 10and you're on your way Nov 12 16:37:53 just curious Nov 12 16:38:06 if there is that limit how is it working now ??? Nov 12 16:38:07 10but why not plug in a real harddrive instead of a usb stick? Nov 12 16:38:22 to have a fully silent slug Nov 12 16:38:30 10oh, 4gb limit as in the largest file size you can put on a FAT32 is Nov 12 16:38:49 ok now you convinced me ! 8-) Nov 12 16:38:52 10err, but don't you have a 120gb on it already? a second one wouldn't hurt, lol Nov 12 16:39:07 10ya, ntfs solves that Nov 12 16:39:14 yup but I would tuen on the 120GB only when I need access to my backup data Nov 12 16:39:36 the 1GB system would silently serve a small web server 24hx7 Nov 12 16:39:39 10but if you don't need to unplug it and use it in windows, you can format in ext3 for full compatibility Nov 12 16:39:48 10i see Nov 12 16:39:50 yes Nov 12 16:39:57 that would be a good idea Nov 12 16:40:20 but I am usng that backup disk mostly for stuff I use on windows Nov 12 16:40:21 10yeah, because the ntfs support on the linksys is still with some restrictions Nov 12 16:40:34 10ahh, okay. Nov 12 16:40:43 yup ntfs WRITE is still a nono last time I checked on Linux Nov 12 16:40:52 10well, now its a yes Nov 12 16:41:00 oh yes ? Nov 12 16:41:06 uber cool !!!! Nov 12 16:41:14 without limitations ? Nov 12 16:41:16 10but some non-importatnt features are still missing, like special permissions and stuff Nov 12 16:41:21 10yeah, no big limitations Nov 12 16:41:40 it used to have limitations like being able only to write files but never enlarging them Nov 12 16:41:46 10this is the one that comes bundled with the linksys Nov 12 16:41:46 10http://www.ntfs-linux.com/ Nov 12 16:42:03 ok cool Nov 12 16:42:13 you thaught me a lot today Nov 12 16:42:26 I am taking this as my birthday present ! 8-) Nov 12 16:42:35 10lol Nov 12 16:42:49 10yay, another happy customer, lol Nov 12 16:42:54 lol Nov 12 16:43:11 will receive my nslu2 on tuesday ... cant wait ! Nov 12 16:43:36 10oh, and the one that came with linksys isnt free, there's a free ntfs driver for linus too (the one that used to have restrictions): http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ Nov 12 16:44:08 another bday present Nov 12 16:44:14 look at the date of that page Nov 12 16:44:15 10haha, just a tip, the first thing i did when i got my nslu and unslinging was to check if its the older or faster one Nov 12 16:44:17 12 november Nov 12 16:44:18 10lol Nov 12 16:44:28 10isnt that today? Nov 12 16:44:35 yup my birthday ! Nov 12 16:44:42 10you're one lucky guy Nov 12 16:44:54 8-) Nov 12 16:45:09 so you where mentionint there are two nslu2 speeds ??? Nov 12 16:45:10 omg Nov 12 16:45:17 10ya Nov 12 16:45:26 with the luck I have I will get the slower ! I am sure ! Nov 12 16:45:30 10apparently an older version had its speed slowed down Nov 12 16:45:39 how can you tell ? Nov 12 16:45:41 10nah, with your luck, you'll sure get the faster Nov 12 16:45:45 8-) Nov 12 16:47:16 10when you're done unslinging, you can type 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' Nov 12 16:47:26 10it'll give you a bogomips Nov 12 16:47:51 10and if you have one that's about 133, its the old one Nov 12 16:47:59 ok Nov 12 16:48:08 10and you'll have to do some soldering work to fix it Nov 12 16:48:14 omg Nov 12 16:48:17 10here's the page, finally found it: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/OverClockTheSlug Nov 12 16:48:19 that is impossible for me Nov 12 16:48:23 10nah, its simple, took me a minute Nov 12 16:48:30 no believe me Nov 12 16:48:33 10for those who cant, plieres worked Nov 12 16:48:48 like giving a scalpel to a gorilla asking for open heart surgery ! Nov 12 16:48:56 10lol Nov 12 16:49:12 10here's a quote: Nov 12 16:49:12 Alternative method of removal of the resistor requires sharp box cutter or a scalpel. Position of the resistor on the board makes it easy to simply cut the resistor in half. Resistor is fragile, it will shatter and pieces will fall out. Make sure pieces do not stick around on the board. Enjoy ! Andrei Volkov -- Nov 12 16:49:22 omg ! Nov 12 16:49:30 am peeing in my pants ! Nov 12 16:49:34 10lol Nov 12 16:49:51 10relax, its easy stuff... unless you cant deal with cutters Nov 12 16:50:10 I can't !

Nov 12 17:03:03 10okay, you should format your stick now Nov 12 17:03:04 Format Disk 2 (through the webinterface) Nov 12 17:03:09 10with the nslu Nov 12 17:03:12 10ok Nov 12 17:03:16 Formatting... Nov 12 17:03:57 (and now comes the weird part) Nov 12 17:04:11 10okay Nov 12 17:04:55 ...hold on (I'm re-doing it now) Nov 12 17:05:26 10oh yes, i forgot, have you tried closely following the readme? http://download.berlios.de/unslung/Unslung-6.8-beta-README.txt Nov 12 17:06:02 Ok it's there: Nov 12 17:06:12 Disk 2 Status: Not Formatted Nov 12 17:06:21 10okay, even after you formatted it? Nov 12 17:07:07 yes, that's the problem Nov 12 17:07:16 (it was working this morning) Nov 12 17:07:28 10you tried clicking on format again? Nov 12 17:07:53 doing it now Nov 12 17:07:53 10and what did the log say? (click on View Log at the bottom of the page) Nov 12 17:08:17 formatting... Nov 12 17:08:17 Disk Log is empty Nov 12 17:08:17 10hmm Nov 12 17:08:51 I've read the eadme.txt, which part were you thinking of? Nov 12 17:09:07 10well, to be honest, you were supposed to format the disk before updating the firmware Nov 12 17:10:29 I can do it all over again, but I thought that the Standard fw didn't format flash drives Nov 12 17:10:39 10the pre-install sections, specifically: Nov 12 17:10:39 So the simple rule is that if the NSLU2 web interface "Disk" Nov 12 17:10:39 page does not list the disk as "Formatted (ext3)", you will be unable Nov 12 17:10:39 to unsling to that disk. Nov 12 17:10:39 and Nov 12 17:10:39 (I read that somewhere) Nov 12 17:10:40 Please verify that any disks you are going to connect to the NSLU2 are Nov 12 17:10:42 recognized and working properly *before* updating your firmware (including Nov 12 17:10:44 any shares and data you had previously stored.) If not, DO NOT Continue. Nov 12 17:10:51 and Nov 12 17:10:52 Firmware upgrades must always be performed with *no* hard disks or flash Nov 12 17:10:54 disks attached. This CANNOT be emphasized enough. Are you sure you Nov 12 17:10:58 unplugged the disks before powering up? If so, you may continue. Nov 12 17:10:58 You must NOT have any disk plugged into the NSLU2 when you reboot to Nov 12 17:11:00 perform the next part of installation - the "Unslinging". Nov 12 17:11:06 10the standard fw didn't format flash drives that appears to be formatted, it'll just pretend it did it Nov 12 17:11:52 I can do the whole thing again (I've done it a couple of times by now) Nov 12 17:12:04 You want me to go ahead? Nov 12 17:12:08 10lol, you have very good patience Nov 12 17:12:35 10well, okay, let's do it step by step, follow my instructions, is that okay with you? Nov 12 17:13:00 Go ahead, but keep in mind that I will lose Internet access for the Redboot stuff Nov 12 17:13:09 10oh? Nov 12 17:13:31 10you have a router between your pc and nslu? Nov 12 17:13:39 Yes I have a router Nov 12 17:13:52 10i have one too, but redboot works for me Nov 12 17:14:03 Linksys WRT54GS Nov 12 17:14:19 10okay, nevermind that for now... let's delete all partition on the flash drive Nov 12 17:14:29 Easy Nov 12 17:14:39 10hmm, another hackable linksys goodie, lol Nov 12 17:15:09 10make sure the drive manager shows the whole drive as grey (Unpartitioned) Nov 12 17:15:28 10and make use of the "Safe Remove Hardware" thinngy first, just extra precautions Nov 12 17:15:28 usb stick is empty and unpartitioned Nov 12 17:15:37 done Nov 12 17:15:47 10okay, leave the drive beside you Nov 12 17:15:52 ok Nov 12 17:15:57 10turn off the nslu Nov 12 17:16:03 It's off Nov 12 17:16:14 10alright, the next part will involve redboot, so listen closely Nov 12 17:16:29 10get into redboot, clear Sysconfdata Nov 12 17:16:35 10do not reboot Nov 12 17:16:37 * mwester wonders if the stick actually had 3 partitions on it when it was just plugged into the Windows box... Nov 12 17:16:52 yes it had 3 partitions Nov 12 17:16:57 * ecam thinks that's a good question Nov 12 17:17:02 Ok - that's good - carry on :) Nov 12 17:17:23 Oh - how big is the stick? Nov 12 17:17:25 10lol, ya, after the clearing, immediately issue "upgrade" Nov 12 17:17:30 10512mb, if i'm not wrong Nov 12 17:17:36 I go ahead for the redboot Nov 12 17:17:48 10hmm? Nov 12 17:18:16 10WfromP, remember to clearsyscom, and then IMMEDIATELY reflash to stock linksys Nov 12 17:19:00 10then when its done rebooting after the reflash, turn it off and plug in the flash drive and turn it on again, then format Nov 12 17:23:28 the upgrade light is flashing Nov 12 17:23:42 10okay, upgrade ahead! Nov 12 17:23:47 10use sercomm Nov 12 17:24:07 10to stock linksys Nov 12 17:24:11 sercomm also requires to unplug the cable Nov 12 17:24:23 10ouch, you very sure? Nov 12 17:24:55 I've just tried, it won't find the slug, but it's not a problem Nov 12 17:24:58 10good luck then, when its done flashing and done rebooting, turn off the nslu Nov 12 17:25:01 10okay Nov 12 17:25:08 (I'll take lessons on the Router next time) Nov 12 17:25:11 ;-) Nov 12 17:25:16 10haha Nov 12 17:25:39 I'll use V23R63 Nov 12 17:25:42 ok? Nov 12 17:25:49 10yeah, that should be okay Nov 12 17:25:58 going Nov 12 17:26:03 10good luck Nov 12 17:26:10 10it''ll be a long wait too, lol Nov 12 17:26:35 it does work through the router...

Nov 12 19:01:30 10yes, but nearly dead Nov 12 19:01:33 I messed up my thttpd.conf... now i'm locked out. Anybody knows the html directory where the web i/f resides? Nov 12 19:01:59 you must be tired, I'll let you sleep Nov 12 19:02:24 10nah, i'm still okay, i'm finalising my debian install Nov 12 19:02:32 I changed it back to /home/httpd/html but didn't seem to work Nov 12 19:02:57 ok, let's try and see if you can help me with my HDD Nov 12 19:03:30 10isnt it /home/httpd/html/? Nov 12 19:03:36 I used it for an unslung install, but now I'm back on Linksys fw Nov 12 19:03:37 10okay, what's with your hdd? Nov 12 19:03:43 10okay Nov 12 19:04:05 ecam, that's why I thought... maybe there's something else I screwed up Nov 12 19:04:31 10hmm, you can look for someone with a original file Nov 12 19:04:37 10anyway, what's the problem? Nov 12 19:05:02 when I boot up the slug with the HDD installed, I can no longer access the admin pages of the web interface Nov 12 19:05:19 same here :) Nov 12 19:05:25 I would like to keep the data on the hdd, if possible Nov 12 19:05:26 100.o Nov 12 19:05:42 10so err, you managed to unsling to the hdd? Nov 12 19:05:44 it seems to mess up the username/pswd Nov 12 19:05:58 10you tried admin admin? Nov 12 19:06:04 I did that some time ago, but now I'm on Linksys Firmware Nov 12 19:06:16 10oh, i see... Nov 12 19:06:34 admin/admin only works without the HDD Nov 12 19:07:00 10you can always delete the conf partition on the harddisk, but i don't remember if the data and conf partitions are the same Nov 12 19:07:13 my guess is that there are some files on the HDD to get rid off, using Ubuntu Nov 12 19:07:21 10ya Nov 12 19:07:59 which files? Nov 12 19:07:59 10look for the conf folder and just rip it out, take care not to disturb your data Nov 12 19:08:04 10well, there's a whole folder called conf if i'm not wrong Nov 12 19:08:04 conf folder? I just delete it? Nov 12 19:08:17 (putting the ubuntu CD back into the drive) Nov 12 19:08:24 10that's the part i'm not sure, i think your data resides inside that folder too Nov 12 19:08:33 10just be careful, look around inside first Nov 12 19:08:51 i'll boot up with ubuntu and come back to the irc Nov 12 19:08:51 10your data should be inside another folder called data or something inside the conf folder Nov 12 19:08:54 10ok Nov 12 19:09:27 10how's saned? Nov 12 19:12:19 hi ecam. did you succeed running the debian installer? Nov 12 19:12:28 10oh yes Nov 12 19:12:33 10i'm playing with debian now Nov 12 19:12:38 10joy Nov 12 19:12:42 cool :) Nov 12 19:12:54 10though i couldn't figure out what i did to get it work Nov 12 19:12:58 10it was accidental Nov 12 19:13:21 10wanted to reflash to unslung, but accidentally selected debian, and then it worked Nov 12 19:13:49 weird... Nov 12 19:14:25 10maybe its some quantum theory thinngy, it knows when you're watching, lol Nov 12 19:14:47 heh Nov 12 19:15:01 10ok, nevermind, lol Nov 12 19:15:20 don't let schroedinger's cat play with network cables Nov 12 19:15:33 ecam, thttpd is running, but pointing somewhere else (ie. config.cgi is 404) Nov 12 19:15:38 10oh? Nov 12 19:15:58 10hmm, but what happens if you just access the ip directly? Nov 12 19:16:41 10does it manage to come up with a directory listing? Nov 12 19:16:44 hey, tell me what's tis schroadinger's cat I hear about all the time Nov 12 19:16:46 that's what i'm doing, with port 8080 Nov 12 19:16:48 a=e Nov 12 19:16:52 10you remember to restart thttpd after config change? Nov 12 19:17:04 so it seems it still remembers the [bad] change I made to thttpd.conf Nov 12 19:17:16 right now, i'm locked out, no telnet Nov 12 19:17:26 10ouch, reboot? Nov 12 19:17:34 couple times Nov 12 19:17:40 10no ssh? Nov 12 19:17:52 i didn't enable it yet Nov 12 19:18:04 10gee, that's pretty screwed Nov 12 19:18:12 yeah :) Nov 12 19:18:25 10unslung or debian or other os? Nov 12 19:18:34 drif: http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci341236,00.html Nov 12 19:18:43 i was trying to access the flash drive by pulling it out and modifying it on my linux box Nov 12 19:19:07 I'm back Nov 12 19:19:10 10wont work i think, it keeps a local copy too Nov 12 19:19:15 10welcome back Nov 12 19:19:23 that's what I was afraid of... Nov 12 19:19:45 10well, not really, if that's so, a reflash would do Nov 12 19:19:57 on the HDD I see a folder /unslung I can delete that, right? Nov 12 19:20:09 10err... errr Nov 12 19:20:19 10check to make sure your files arent inside Nov 12 19:20:32 10i cant guarantee you anything, you'll have to check it yourself Nov 12 19:20:38 my /unslung was empty Nov 12 19:20:52 thanks, Texture Nov 12 19:20:59 10if i remember, that's where the redirection scripts were? Nov 12 19:21:25 I have rc.xinetd Nov 12 19:21:31 I don't that, right? Nov 12 19:21:50 10its okay Nov 12 19:21:55 10if that's the only file Nov 12 19:22:06 unslung folder gone... Nov 12 19:22:11 10its safe to delete anything as long as it doesn't pull your data with it Nov 12 19:22:27 (I'm usind sudo Nautilus, I don't think that's the best way) Nov 12 19:22:47 what else? config? Nov 12 19:23:02 config is empty Nov 12 19:23:05 10well, its necessary to use sudo, isnt it? Nov 12 19:23:11 10clean that too! Nov 12 19:23:44 I have plenty of files in the actual root directory Nov 12 19:24:13 10actual root? Nov 12 19:24:24 root of the HDD partition Nov 12 19:24:29 10ah... Nov 12 19:24:46 10well, like i said, delete anything that you don't know... Nov 12 19:25:01 10just make sure your data isnt tied to it Nov 12 19:25:51 The data is on another partition Nov 12 19:26:01 10you sure? Nov 12 19:26:08 10iis there a folder called public or something? Nov 12 19:27:15 share contains share.info and smb.conf Nov 12 19:27:39 10that's okay Nov 12 19:28:43 considering my actual problem, maybe I could just delete the files called passwd Nov 12 19:28:53 passwd.save and passwd.ttt Nov 12 19:29:18 10hmm Nov 12 19:29:28 I'll try that... no? Nov 12 19:29:31 10i think it could make things worse Nov 12 19:29:36 ah Nov 12 19:29:39 argh... it's in the wiki: "do NOT ipkg install thttpd" on you nslu2... snif Nov 12 19:29:40 10unless you replace with a working one Nov 12 19:29:50 10lol, why so? Nov 12 19:30:00 not even php-thttpd? Nov 12 19:30:16 * ecam is happy that he uses apache Nov 12 19:30:26 I'm rather happy with php-httpd Nov 12 19:30:27 'cos it kills telnet I guess... it's written by [another] newbie :) Nov 12 19:30:39 what ..kills..what? Nov 12 19:30:47 10telnet? Nov 12 19:30:48 telwhat? Nov 12 19:31:04 WfromP, are you from france? Nov 12 19:31:08 Paris Nov 12 19:31:11 10Paris Nov 12 19:31:12 Lyon Nov 12 19:31:17 10lol Nov 12 19:31:25 salut Nov 12 19:31:31 drif, ipkg install thttpd aparently kills the web i/f, so telnet can't be activated anymore Nov 12 19:31:35 bonjour! Nov 12 19:31:40 bonsoir Nov 12 19:31:48 ouaip Nov 12 19:31:49 * ecam doesn't know french Nov 12 19:31:57 but let's keep it in english... Nov 12 19:32:02 * saned studies french for 1.5 years Nov 12 19:32:11 lyon was not a good place for French rugby players yesterday Nov 12 19:32:19 * ecam wanted to but didn't qualify Nov 12 19:32:23 anyway, what about my password problem? Nov 12 19:32:34 no idea... Nov 12 19:32:36 10ya, err, take a look at the file Nov 12 19:32:41 saned: installed php-thttpd doesnt' atleast for me it didn't Nov 12 19:32:45 10does it look like a normal passwd file? Nov 12 19:32:59 s/installed/installing Nov 12 19:33:09 +/ :P Nov 12 19:33:10 drif, i'll try that after a reflash; thx Nov 12 19:33:14 looks normal to me Nov 12 19:33:31 10hmm, try replacing it with the one on ubuntu Nov 12 19:33:43 (feeling unconfortable abut sening the passwd file over irc) Nov 12 19:33:48 10and see if things work (and hope the stuff you already deleted doesn't do anything) Nov 12 19:33:55 10nono, no need to Nov 12 19:34:48 but why does the slug use the passwd file on the HDD when it's not unslung? Nov 12 19:35:12 10because the linksys unslings itself Nov 12 19:35:15 10i think Nov 12 19:35:47 10when you plug in a harddrive and natively format it, the linksys creates a conf partition in it Nov 12 19:36:06 10and stores config stuff such as shares, passwords, backups and stuff Nov 12 19:37:44 booting up the slug... Nov 12 19:37:49 10okay Nov 12 19:38:05 10you do know the passwords that came with ubuntu, do you? Nov 12 19:38:26 10and just curious, one of the passwd files is a normal passwd file, what's the other one? Nov 12 19:40:10 I was just looking for the passwd file in Ubuntu Nov 12 19:40:28 10uh huh? Nov 12 19:40:53 I'm a total linux newbie Nov 12 19:41:14 10lol Nov 12 19:41:25 courageous too :) Nov 12 19:41:35 10oh yeah, i agree on that, ;) Nov 12 19:41:43 anyway, tha other passwd files look like backups of passwd files, maybe I could try those Nov 12 19:41:54 10the passwd file is in /etc/ in case you're still searching, heh Nov 12 19:42:17 i'll try and rename passwd.save first Nov 12 19:42:25 10okay Nov 12 19:43:25 I like being called courageous Nov 12 19:43:40 although it makes me reevaluate the risk... ;-) Nov 12 19:44:21 10lol Nov 12 19:44:45 time flies when you're having fun, that's what's important :P Nov 12 19:45:03 10ah yes, and its 4am here, there goes sleep, lol Nov 12 19:45:25 you beat me ecam, I crashed at 3:45am lol Nov 12 19:46:02 10lol, woo hoo! Nov 12 19:48:15 10so how's it going WfromP? Nov 12 19:48:28 the passwd.save didn't do the trick Nov 12 19:48:44 but I had another user account Nov 12 19:48:58 I have just changed the passwd for that user in the webinterface Nov 12 19:49:11 10that's good Nov 12 19:49:26 and now I should be able to copy the encrypted passwd into the the admin line, right? Nov 12 19:49:36 10yup Nov 12 19:49:38 10err Nov 12 19:49:42 wee'll see Nov 12 19:49:42 10wait, huh? Nov 12 19:49:47 ? Nov 12 19:49:54 10copy the encrypted password Nov 12 19:49:57 10oh, okay Nov 12 19:49:58 10yes Nov 12 19:50:04 10in the passwd file, yes Nov 12 19:51:52 booting the slug Nov 12 19:52:01 10k Nov 12 19:52:23 alright, I could enable telnet by removing the flash drive. I'm in. Nov 12 19:52:55 10and you can now plug in the flash drive! Nov 12 19:53:07 10or at least enable ssh first Nov 12 19:53:32 no success Nov 12 19:53:37 yes; I'm trying to find the thttpd.conf that's causing the problem, but looks ok now Nov 12 19:54:02 10hmm, guess its the rip it all out plan now, lol Nov 12 19:54:13 10can you do a ipkg remove? would that help?

Nov 12 19:54:33 yeah, i'll try ipkg remove now Nov 12 19:54:54 10there are local copies of the config in the unslung drive Nov 12 19:55:05 10should be in the exact location Nov 12 19:55:47 all thttpd.conf (2) have the port 80, but it gives me 404s on 8080, nothing on 80 Nov 12 19:55:58 let's see how it does when i plug the drive Nov 12 19:56:08 10enable ssh first!!! Nov 12 19:56:47 heh... too late Nov 12 19:56:52 i'm in telnet though Nov 12 19:57:09 10so telnet didn't die? Nov 12 19:57:17 nope Nov 12 19:57:22 10i think its because you havent rebooted Nov 12 19:57:23 doesn't show the drive tho Nov 12 19:57:34 10check the thttpd.conf on it Nov 12 19:57:40 10hmm Nov 12 19:59:32 ok, i'e deleted all of the conf files Nov 12 19:59:35 thttpd.conf looks fine; i'll try reboot Nov 12 19:59:41 nlug booting back up Nov 12 19:59:50 pardon my typing Nov 12 20:00:10 10okay...
