**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Dec 10 02:59:58 2006 Dec 10 03:20:35 Hi All Dec 10 03:21:17 Does anyone know of any good description for coompiling usbnet Dec 10 07:03:53 'lo Dec 10 07:04:59 I just got a nslu2, no manuals though. how do I connect to it's web interface ? it doesn't seem to have a dhcp server nor does it recieve a dhcp ip from my server.. Dec 10 07:05:12 does it come with a default Ip ? Dec 10 07:08:33 ido--: really depends on what firmware it is running Dec 10 07:09:06 if you don't have manual, i assume it is a used one? Dec 10 07:09:17 its running the orginal one I guess.. Dec 10 07:09:19 i got it off ebay. Dec 10 07:09:58 if it is the original linksys fw, it defaults to 192.168.1.77 Dec 10 07:10:49 if it has been used, then the previous user can set IP address to whatever he likes and saves to internal flash (sysconf) Dec 10 07:11:46 yep its the default. thanks. Dec 10 07:12:02 ur welcome Dec 10 07:12:55 tons of info available on nslu2-linux.org Dec 10 07:13:37 hrm Dec 10 07:13:46 should I upgrade to unslug 6.8 ? Dec 10 07:55:22 that is, or another distro.. Dec 10 07:55:29 hrm, i'm unslugged.. Dec 10 07:57:13 I have a few other questions though.. Dec 10 07:57:38 such as Can I attach a vfat drive and share it without formatting it for the slug? Dec 10 07:58:43 and If I'd like to install programs, do I have to first connect a drive and have it ext3 formatted (which I dont want to do), or can I use a rootfs on a USB DOK and have the second port with the vfat drive ? Dec 10 08:45:53 hey Dec 10 08:51:09 DrZimmerman: hi Dec 10 08:52:04 How I can use optware packages with ipkg, where I need to set the url for the feeds? Dec 10 09:27:13 How I can use optware packages with ipkg, where I need to set the url for the feeds? Dec 10 09:27:26 I've openSlug 3.10 Dec 10 11:52:05 hrm Dec 10 11:52:07 anyone?

Dec 10 13:12:33 ido--: no openslug Dec 10 13:34:19 anybody using debian on the nslu? Dec 10 13:34:25 W: There are no public key available for the following key IDs: Dec 10 13:34:25 A70DAF536070D3A1 Dec 10 13:34:38 any hints? Dec 10 16:05:09 test Dec 10 16:24:32 based on some homework i just ordered a slug today. i'm planning on using it for my wife xmas present an ipod nano. does anyone have experience of using it as an itunes server in here? does it perform adequatley and will my non-techie mrs be okay with it? Dec 10 16:55:17 warlord0, ask Micha1983 when he's online again, he's done that. Dec 10 17:15:32 thanks for the pointer. it appears many have done it but with older versions of itunes. Dec 10 17:17:16 hrm. Dec 10 17:24:07 y Dec 10 20:14:29 anyone here? Dec 10 20:15:02 eh Dec 10 20:15:07 i dont think so, i'm afraid Dec 10 20:17:07 ido-: =) Dec 10 20:17:21 ido-: do you know how I can add optware to ipkg Dec 10 20:17:31 ido-: I mean the optware feed Dec 10 20:17:34 I just got my slug today Dec 10 20:17:36 OpenSLug 3.10 Dec 10 20:17:38 and I have some questions myself Dec 10 20:17:51 ido-: ask? Dec 10 20:17:57 maybe I can help you Dec 10 20:18:43 well, I installed unslug 6.8 Dec 10 20:18:48 ok Dec 10 20:18:55 I never used unlsug but maybe Dec 10 20:19:34 Can I use a disk-on-key smaller then 256m somehow ? Dec 10 20:20:12 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/RootOnAUSBDevice Dec 10 20:20:36 this doesnt seem right and I want to know why its 256mb and if it could be bypassed. Dec 10 20:21:33 ido-: I would say yes Dec 10 20:23:03 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseAMemoryStickAsMainDrive Dec 10 20:23:06 hrm, i'll just read this. Dec 10 20:23:21 I thought the flash is more like on the linksys wrt Dec 10 20:23:45 and that a memory device is not mandatory Dec 10 20:23:45 ido-: 256MB for practical use Dec 10 20:23:56 I don't have a 256mb. Dec 10 20:24:02 I think I can get a 64mb though Dec 10 20:24:20 ido-: easy, the base install should work, maybe you can't install many programs Dec 10 20:24:36 ido-: na 64MB is too small Dec 10 20:25:14 It depends on what you want to do and which os you want to run. Dec 10 20:25:28 well, I'm nto sure Dec 10 20:25:30 simple stuff Dec 10 20:25:33 well, actually Dec 10 20:25:44 lets say I want to configure samba the way I want it. Dec 10 20:25:54 currently I have 1 VFAT drive connected Dec 10 20:26:19 a 64mb DOK should be enough for storing config files, right ? Dec 10 20:26:36 marceln: do you know something about optware feed? Dec 10 20:26:36 You are running unslung? Dec 10 20:27:05 yes I am Dec 10 20:27:14 no OpenSlug Dec 10 20:27:21 I added 9 packages. Dec 10 20:27:49 marceln: ? Dec 10 20:28:18 marceln: the problem is that I don't know how I can add this feed to my ipkg that ipkg uses it Dec 10 20:28:20 Ido> I would recommend to format the disk as native. Dec 10 20:28:27 It saves a lot trouble. Dec 10 20:29:00 You can;t use a 64mb flash drive as native disk because there are requirement for three partitions. Dec 10 20:29:50 It is possible to create the three partitions manually and get everything working but you have to do it by hand. Dec 10 20:30:05 marceln: how come ? (besides permissions) but then I won't be able to use it on a windows box .. Dec 10 20:31:03 In that case everything is done through the web interface in the correct way. Dec 10 20:31:26 can you give an example ? Dec 10 20:31:27 You can still read the disk from windows with explore2fs. Dec 10 20:31:28 marceln: any ideas for the optware feed? Dec 10 20:31:39 I'm not sure how much i'll be using the web interface Dec 10 20:31:49 well, i'll use it at the beginning i guess. Dec 10 20:31:59 There are also tools availeble to read and write ext3 under windows but i don't now anything about that. Dec 10 20:32:25 marceln: but the performance is horrible for ext3 under windows Dec 10 20:32:59 How often do you want to use the disk under windows? Dec 10 20:33:47 marceln: sorry for annoying but do you know something about the optware feed? Dec 10 20:34:20 You want to use the optware feed under openslug? Dec 10 20:34:37 marceln: yes, is that possible? Dec 10 20:34:50 marceln: or I missunderstood something Dec 10 20:34:59 marceln: is optware only for unslug? Dec 10 20:35:11 Its not really supported. The package may work but probably the won't because of library dependencies. Dec 10 20:35:33 marceln: but there are some packets I need for openslug Dec 10 20:35:45 marceln: php are not available on the openslug feed Dec 10 20:36:13 Probably you should ask someone who is running openslug. Dec 10 20:36:29 marceln: yes do you know, is there any mailinglist? Dec 10 20:36:33 for openslug Dec 10 20:36:43 Yes and no. Dec 10 20:37:43 ? Dec 10 20:37:52 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/MailingLists Dec 10 20:38:30 what does alternative green/yellow led mean after boot? running debootstrapped debian on top of openslug kernel Dec 10 20:38:43 There are no specific unslung/opware/openslug mailling list. Dec 10 20:39:00 the top led is alternating between green and yellow all the time Dec 10 20:40:52 marceln: can I write a mail to it without have an account on yahoo? Dec 10 20:41:12 tuv: how much space does debianslug needs? Dec 10 20:41:32 mijenix: Yes. But you have to subscribe to the mailinglist first. Dec 10 20:41:56 mijenix, i have a 324MB /usr Dec 10 20:42:08 mijenix, with lots of additional packages installed Dec 10 20:42:10 marceln: sorry, maybe I'm stupid but I can't see how I can subscribe nor I see the eMail address Dec 10 20:42:28 tuv: hmm, then 5GB HD sould be enough for it Dec 10 20:42:43 mijenix, 5GB is plenty Dec 10 20:42:50 tuv: maybe I'll switch to debianslug from openslug Dec 10 20:43:16 mijenix, the debian-installer should be usable now Dec 10 20:43:34 mijenix, so you could run a debian kernel Dec 10 20:43:47 tuv: maybe I'll do that Dec 10 20:43:54 tuv: ;-) Dec 10 20:45:14 Send a email to: "nslu2-general-subscribe@yahoogroups.com" Dec 10 20:45:59 After that you should start to receive the postings. Dec 10 20:46:03 the top led is alternating between green and yellow all the time. what does that mean? Dec 10 20:46:41 There is no yellow led there? Dec 10 20:47:06 marceln, well maybe orange or amber. something lighter than red Dec 10 20:47:23 marceln: maybe I'll switch to debianslug Dec 10 20:47:31 marceln: more packages available Dec 10 20:47:36 marceln: I'll see Dec 10 20:49:17 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/OpenSlugLEDsDuringBoot Dec 10 20:49:53 marceln, this is not happening during boot. it's been like this for hours Dec 10 20:52:29 I don't know. Dec 10 20:56:13 mijenix, if you use debian-installer, it's called Debian/NSLU2 Dec 10 20:56:43 mijenix, otherwise it's debootstrapped slugos. no more debianslug Dec 10 21:08:24 tuv: ? the second I don't understand Dec 10 21:09:03 marceln: how long does it take after sending an email to the subscribe email Dec 10 21:10:15 tuv: I'll read the page for debian on slug Dec 10 21:10:18 I don't remember. It was a long time ago. Dec 10 21:10:18 thats normal tuv mine is blink that way too Dec 10 21:10:41 i think it came with an update of the led tool Dec 10 21:11:03 the connected usb portleds are green now Dec 10 21:21:38 if i upgrade from a debootstrapped slugos to Debian/NSLU2, what happens to the kenel modules installed via ipkg's? do i need to remove them or should i just ignore them? Dec 10 21:30:30 tuv & marceln: thx for help Dec 10 21:30:32 cu Dec 10 21:30:32 gn8 Dec 10 21:36:58 eiffel, that's good to know **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Dec 11 02:59:57 2006
