**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Jan 19 02:59:58 2007 Jan 19 03:11:47 are you back mwester? Jan 19 10:15:51 jelle: alive? Jan 19 10:16:53 idk Jan 19 10:17:35 jelle: i've updated CompletelyBackupTheNSLU2 with flash-restore-hints, please review! Jan 19 10:21:05 looks good. you can removd my ending note now... Jan 19 10:21:16 did it work? Jan 19 10:21:51 completly backupped? Jan 19 10:28:51 jelle: yes, it dit work! At least with upslung. Will test my image with the nativ linksys-web-gui soon! Jan 19 10:29:16 HotStyle: primary the flash is backed up! Jan 19 10:31:45 great! congratulations! Jan 19 10:33:40 wow Jan 19 10:34:11 does that backup everything? Jan 19 10:34:24 it seems Jan 19 10:54:17 anybody here that can tell a newbie how to restart or stop / start proftpd? Jan 19 10:55:13 you can always kill it, ps x | grep proftpd Jan 19 10:55:17 then kill Jan 19 11:03:26 re Jan 19 11:05:17 DrJ,HoStyle: Testet with a debian etch RC1 install, which flashes the slug at installation. Jan 19 11:19:03 i have a problem with proftpd that i did not expect Jan 19 11:19:14 i can not make any folder writable Jan 19 11:19:29 that is strange Jan 19 11:23:06 bad: maybe it is on a mounted disk that is not mounted writable by the user? Jan 19 11:23:21 ? Jan 19 11:23:35 i can write to the disk as the user:ftp Jan 19 11:23:48 but not if i log in as via ftp Jan 19 11:24:09 so it has to be proftp issue and not a linux issue Jan 19 11:24:19 wanna dump your proftp.conf in pastebin? Jan 19 11:27:03 i posted it PM, that did not work out, sorry about that Jan 19 11:27:09 i can dcc it to u Jan 19 11:27:29 sure Jan 19 11:27:57 or go to patebin.ca and put it there Jan 19 11:28:45 eh, pastebin that is. not patebin. http://nslu2.pastebin.com also works Jan 19 11:29:04 ok Jan 19 11:33:57 but your config says limit write deny all, so you can't write... Jan 19 11:34:15 not as anonymous user anyway Jan 19 11:34:35 http://nslu2.pastebin.com/862790 Jan 19 11:38:53 i have revered to the file that comes with the installation Jan 19 11:39:12 yes, that probably doesn;t allow uploading and writung Jan 19 11:39:41 no Jan 19 11:40:08 but i managed to destroy my previous installation Jan 19 11:40:48 so i am courious if someone have solved this rather simple, but for me advanced, problem Jan 19 11:41:15 i guess here is a lot of pepole whom is running the proftp Jan 19 11:41:47 not me Jan 19 11:41:52 try #proftpd, there are 28 people there, this must be easy to solve Jan 19 11:41:54 did you ever get on a get my configs for vsftpd? Jan 19 11:42:46 eh, no? Jan 19 11:42:58 ftp://anonymous:password@217.42.182.238:33021 Jan 19 11:43:06 err for bad or anyone else really Jan 19 11:43:43 i put up a working pasive config. well working for me - be grateful if you prove it Jan 19 11:44:15 looks like someone got on 71.54.86.222 Jan 19 11:45:10 i also loaded a script that you can cron so it updates the ip if you have a dynamic one with your isp Jan 19 11:47:50 jelle: fullimage.bin works with linksys-webgui! 3. nslug up and running on Debian-Etch in 15 minutes! Jan 19 11:48:34 hurray! Jan 19 11:55:46 warlord0: I didn't get my vsftpd working correcty for me, I tried to get anonymous upload going, but it laughed at me Jan 19 11:57:00 tnx jelle Jan 19 11:59:43 i was never planning anon upload so i've never looked at it. i'll have a play and report back later. Jan 19 12:00:02 ok Jan 19 15:07:42 i've updated the vsftp.conf file on my slug so it now has anonymous upload to a specified directory. you can only uupload into the /upload folder and you can not list its contnet after you have uploaded it will still appear empty Jan 19 15:08:28 ftp://217.42.182.238:33021/ Jan 19 15:08:58 however, you must ensure the upload folder has the perms 773 and is owned by root for this to work Jan 19 15:09:12 chmod 773 /anonymous/upload Jan 19 15:09:21 chown root:root /anonymous/upload Jan 19 15:09:41 drwxrwx-wx 2 root root 4096 Jan 19 15:32 upload Jan 19 15:10:11 I think I tried that, but it kept laughing at me saying cannot create file Jan 19 15:10:34 i also created the anonymous user in the web gui and editted /etc/passwd and set it's home to /anonymous Jan 19 15:10:57 well try mine out if you like. it all appears to work for me Jan 19 15:11:04 ok Jan 19 15:11:21 giallu: "" Somebody knows wtf is klogd?"" ????? ?? ?? / Jan 19 15:11:39 not at giallu Jan 19 15:11:49 kernel log daemon? Jan 19 15:11:50 ""ALL"":: "" Somebody knows wtf is klogd?"" ????? ?? ?? / Jan 19 15:12:05 k, tnx the same :) Jan 19 15:12:18 is it an abbreviation of a breakfast cereal? Jan 19 15:12:25 also is the dmesg Jan 19 15:12:38 XD Jan 19 15:13:06 http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_klogd.htm Jan 19 15:13:15 k Jan 19 15:13:27 http://linux.about.com/library/cmd/blcmdl8_dmesg.htm Jan 19 15:13:33 don't know the specifics Jan 19 15:19:08 k nice Jan 19 17:20:22 hi all! Jan 19 17:26:29 hello??? Jan 19 17:27:46 people do talk but if you read the web site it say you will be ignored unless you change your nick] Jan 19 17:28:38 ah - sorry! its just /nick isnt it? Jan 19 17:28:44 yes Jan 19 17:28:48 i dont use irc very often >.< Jan 19 17:29:09 better??? :-p Jan 19 17:29:25 not that anyone here is really that anal and were ignoring you - they're just aren't many paying attension right now :) Jan 19 17:29:40 haha! noice! Jan 19 17:29:52 Shhhh!!!!! Jan 19 17:30:06 see we just woke someone up Jan 19 17:30:26 well - seeing as tho ur the 1st person 2 talk 2 me - i ask u the 1st question :-p got slug yesterday - got it all working perfectly! 3x320 seagate sata drives + coolermaster enclosures in2 targus usb hub Jan 19 17:30:43 nice Jan 19 17:31:00 all sharing perfectly - can see everything - just getting reallly sllooooowww performance when i try n copy stuff 2 n from n between Jan 19 17:31:24 well it's not the fastest processor in town Jan 19 17:31:35 when it all worked tho i was .....omg...it cant be that easy...can it??? then windows is like "OI!!!! i found stuff!!!" im like...HELL YEAH!!! Jan 19 17:31:54 you just running vanilla slug? Jan 19 17:32:17 just updated the firmware from the linksys site so i could use ntfs drives Jan 19 17:32:48 ahh, before you go and get too far ahead and fill your drives you might want to checkout unslung etc. Jan 19 17:33:13 does that mean i have 2 reformat them 2 ext3? Jan 19 17:33:14 save you wishing you'd done it after you've got a load of data on them Jan 19 17:33:26 well... yes Jan 19 17:34:26 the thing is i take the drives elsewhere onto non linux enviros n they'll be useless then wont they? Jan 19 17:35:06 that's a choice issue i guess. i'd take the nas box too :) Jan 19 17:35:19 ahhhh....good thinkin 66!! Jan 19 17:35:58 so will slug solve that problem of performance? its just really slow - like maybe 1/2 mb/sec kinda slow??? Jan 19 17:35:59 it's just that out of the box it's a good device - with unslung etc. it's a brilliant device! Jan 19 17:36:38 the speed wont necessarily improve - although maybe writing native ext3 could make a difference. Jan 19 17:36:43 im not looking for 100mb/sec or anything - but 5mb/sec would be nice Jan 19 17:36:45 i'm kinda new to this Jan 19 17:38:32 what speed should i be averaging u rekon? Jan 19 17:39:46 mine varies depending on file size but i do get about 4mb/s on large files Jan 19 17:40:26 i just to an xfer now n c what im averaging Jan 19 17:40:34 i'm running 1 x 250gb 3.5 Maxtor in an icybox Jan 19 17:41:46 i tried last night to xfer some vids between the drives and it just sat there - it was xfering but the hdd light was barely doing anything Jan 19 17:42:12 ahh between the drives is different Jan 19 17:42:38 yeah? Jan 19 17:42:41 nono? Jan 19 17:42:50 unless you do it from the telnet/ssh session it's coming to your pc then back to the slug Jan 19 17:45:11 2 get slug working directly into pc - no router - do i have to set static ip? Jan 19 17:46:03 not sure i follow. you'll only ever talk to the slug over the network. the slug is the only thing that talks direct to the drives. Jan 19 17:46:50 when you copy between disks it will always go from disk to slug to pc to slug to disk. Jan 19 17:47:23 sorry - when i connect slug 2 router - dhcp assigns everything and all is well - if i wanna connect it directly to the pc - do i have 2 go in2 the firmware - set it to enable dhcp then connect it 2 pc or is there a better way Jan 19 17:48:22 ahh so you want a direct no network connection? not sure if you need a cross over cable for that or if it auto detects, but yes you will need a static ip Jan 19 17:48:49 whats teh cable that comes with? straight/crossover? Jan 19 17:48:55 ohn both pc and slug Jan 19 17:48:56 straight me thinks? Jan 19 17:49:00 straight Jan 19 17:49:09 *grabs crossover* Jan 19 17:49:14 :) Jan 19 17:50:40 slugs finking bout it Jan 19 17:51:06 eeeexcelent Jan 19 17:52:14 ok .from sluf - pc going @ 2mb/sec Jan 19 17:52:55 still half what i get. so wonder if it is ntfs Jan 19 17:53:08 but it cuts out a few seconds in Jan 19 17:53:16 odd Jan 19 17:53:57 moving from pc - slug @ 3+mb/sec Jan 19 17:54:08 thats kewl - i can deal with that Jan 19 17:54:21 NTFS is quite probably slower; it is certainly less stable on the NSLU2 (you will experience lockups and crashes periodically). Jan 19 17:54:53 fanks mwester! warlords bein awesom 2!! :-p Jan 19 17:55:22 its varying b/w 3-3.5mb/sec - will go the other way in a sek n c Jan 19 17:55:36 Linksys says to have at least one device on the NSLU2 that is formatted by the NSLU2 - this provides swap space for the machine. But tests performed by various folks on the ML show that has little effect on fixing the problem. :( Jan 19 17:56:12 So, the general conclusion of the community seems to be to dump NTFS. Jan 19 17:56:43 ah k - its really weird - just copied 350mb vid onto slug - fine - tried to copy back - drops connection? Jan 19 17:56:58 >.< dump ntfs *shivers* Jan 19 17:57:05 heh Jan 19 17:57:50 it seems like a good idea to be able to unhook the usb and move it to another box but in practice, not so good. Jan 19 17:58:20 just when i go away 2 lans etc - would be nice to jsut give the drive 2 some1 and say "fill it plz" Jan 19 17:59:00 when u copy b/w drives what r u averaging? Jan 19 17:59:15 i only have one drive on my slug right now Jan 19 17:59:21 ah k Jan 19 18:00:03 so uve installed unslug and formatted to ext3? Jan 19 18:00:10 ooh yes Jan 19 18:00:28 took me a few tries Jan 19 18:00:36 well to be fair it went on sweeet Jan 19 18:00:55 i just buggered it up by editting the flash /etc/passwd so i had to redboot it Jan 19 18:01:17 u running xp or linux? Jan 19 18:01:19 but don't let redboot scare you. it's not necessarily that bad Jan 19 18:01:34 xp on the home lan of 4 pcs Jan 19 18:02:07 slug on unslung 6.8beta 24/7 ftp/http Jan 19 18:02:24 ok - how do i check the speed of the cpu? bak to origional question :-p Jan 19 18:02:29 im not sure where to type the cat /proc/cpuinfo Jan 19 18:02:49 first you need to unlung it. then you can enable telnet Jan 19 18:03:19 i can get into redbook via trelnet Jan 19 18:03:28 'enable telnet' Jan 19 18:03:31 ? Jan 19 18:04:04 yes you can get into redboot at any point Jan 19 18:04:23 yup Jan 19 18:04:28 i personally did the two windows, one pinging and one ready with telnet command Jan 19 18:04:50 ah k - i try doing that now Jan 19 18:05:03 but redboot is not the "cat /proc/cpuinfo" window Jan 19 18:05:06 redboot is for flash recovery Jan 19 18:05:29 you need to install unslung, then the interface has an enable telnet to the linux os option Jan 19 18:06:25 ah - so cant run that command unless unslug installed Jan 19 18:06:33 correct Jan 19 18:06:41 n unslug = nooooo ntfs Jan 19 18:06:51 not strictly true Jan 19 18:07:08 just not advisable Jan 19 18:07:18 unstable Jan 19 18:07:22 you can run unslung without unslinging Jan 19 18:08:00 unslung changes the flash and adds telnet Jan 19 18:08:05 unslinging copies from flash to storage Jan 19 18:08:21 without unslinging you shouldnt install any packages Jan 19 18:08:42 sorry - ur getting a little above me - unslinging - using flash drive in port 1 for booting? no? Jan 19 18:08:53 yes flash or hd Jan 19 18:09:15 ah k - only been reading for a few hours - still getting my head around it all Jan 19 18:09:17 my hd is ext3 and has the linux unslinged to it and my data is on there too Jan 19 18:09:29 yeah there is a lot to take in at first Jan 19 18:09:34 ah k - kewl! Jan 19 18:09:40 i'm only a week or two in myself Jan 19 18:09:53 wow! fast learner! noice! Jan 19 18:10:25 i need 2 make a decision now - format 2 ext3 or put up with hell slow speeds foreevveerrrr!!! Jan 19 18:10:48 personally i'd go with trying it with ext3 beforeyou make a descision Jan 19 18:11:33 u mean keep with linux firmweare - format drive 2 ext3 - c if that makes any difference n go from there? Jan 19 18:12:10 that would be a start, but i just can't praise how good unslung is enough Jan 19 18:12:27 but then it depends on your target usage Jan 19 18:12:43 basically its for a media centre for tv series Jan 19 18:12:52 i want mine to house my data and allow me ftp access to it from anywhere Jan 19 18:13:18 got teh 3 seagate 320gb sata drives in coolermaster xcases going into targus usb hub 2 slug - linksys wrt54g router Jan 19 18:13:46 pc connects to router n runs tvedia via svideo onto plazma n have mce remote to controle it Jan 19 18:13:52 ahh a hub for your drives might not be the best answer Jan 19 18:14:14 definatley not for unslinging Jan 19 18:14:24 i've not tried it but read enough to know not to Jan 19 18:14:33 but great thing with slug - if pc is off - lappy can connect wireless from bedroom and stream vidos onto tv in bedroom Jan 19 18:14:54 yeah it's a cool product Jan 19 18:15:17 ill research the whole ftp from net thing - thats kewl Jan 19 18:15:32 i put an itunes server on mine so i'm thinking of adding a squeezebox to my stereo Jan 19 18:15:34 can u think of any other way 2 connect the drives without usb hub??? Jan 19 18:15:49 one in each usb port? Jan 19 18:16:01 theres 3 drives tho >.< Jan 19 18:16:19 gready :) get another slug :0 Jan 19 18:16:29 greedy* Jan 19 18:16:43 2 slugs....bit much for 1 person 2 handle >.< Jan 19 18:16:53 haha i want to start a farm! Jan 19 18:17:06 slugs will take over the world Jan 19 18:17:08 i tihnk what i'll end up doing is just buying another 320 sata + enclosure and taking it 2 lans instead :-p Jan 19 18:17:13 haha!!!! Jan 19 18:17:15 voy74656: just to clear up any possible confusion: NTFS on the NSLU2 is buggy, with or without Unslung firmware -- it's the Linksys driver that's broken. So you'll see problems with it no matter what, as long as you stick with NTFS Jan 19 18:17:41 cant put it plainer than that Jan 19 18:17:58 dang - fanks for the info mwester - just came to the conclusion to swap to ext3 just then :-p Jan 19 18:18:38 ok - so 3 ext3 drives....2 are full...1 is blank....i think i'm ready for some creative shuffling >.< Jan 19 18:18:40 Good - you'll be happier that way, and so will the NSLU2. BTW, there are drivers for reading ext2/ext3 disks on Windows... Jan 19 18:18:56 yeah - saw that b4 as well Jan 19 18:19:24 oh - that'll mean that every1 that comes over who wants to l33ch has 2 install the same drivers yes? Jan 19 18:20:06 oh - wait a sek - no Jan 19 18:20:17 my bad >.< only if the drive is connected directly to pc :-p Jan 19 18:20:54 just grab thumb drive - put the drivers on there Jan 19 18:21:06 oooo...how exciting Jan 19 18:21:27 ok - i have much work 2 do and tis time 2 sleep - 5:30am here o.O omg....been up that long reading!!

Jan 19 18:38:07 i've put together a cherokee and vsftpd how to that i thought others might like Jan 19 18:38:58 http://rasalghul.dyndns.org/ Jan 19 18:39:15 Great! Go ahead and add it to the wiki. Use the sandbox (on the left nav bar) for experimenting and learning, then just navigate to where you want the page to be, and create it. Jan 19 18:39:33 sandbox, ok i'll try Jan 19 18:39:54 Sandbox is not persistent, so don't try to save anything there! Jan 19 18:40:12 ok i have the main copy so that's not an issue Jan 19 18:40:43 Don't forget to link your new page into the correct spots in the wiki; some might be password protected (spam problems), so you may need to send a note to the mail-list to have someone edit those. Jan 19 18:40:59 ahh ok Jan 19 18:42:41 cheroky, nice shot Jan 19 18:42:51 it's what im waiting Jan 19 18:43:02 cause it seems more fast than apache Jan 19 18:43:06 tnx u Jan 19 18:43:12 cherokee uses much less ram Jan 19 18:44:52 what bout the cpu? Jan 19 18:45:04 and a db for a lamp sys Jan 19 18:45:13 what do you prefer? Jan 19 18:45:24 well the db is what i'm strugling with Jan 19 18:45:47 i have mysql on it but wanted to use it with wordpress - but it seems way to slow for that Jan 19 18:46:22 i istalled mysql in the last formatted, but it suxs Jan 19 18:46:32 mysql is a drama Jan 19 18:46:48 only in safe mode, (if i remember well) Jan 19 18:46:53 and really Jan 19 18:46:53 i love mysql on bigger platforms but this is my first tiny resource linux Jan 19 18:46:56 heavy Jan 19 18:47:13 me too, it's a good standard Jan 19 18:47:37 so ive thinked that i could choose between two ways: Jan 19 18:47:45 1) external mysql Jan 19 18:47:56 2) no mysql Jan 19 18:47:59 :D Jan 19 18:48:15 no other possibilities i think Jan 19 18:48:27 yeah the external mysql would defeat the object of having no big pc noise for me Jan 19 18:50:19 so i think is possible to make a little cache on the slugga of dbs into local files Jan 19 18:50:43 and on occurrence give a boot command to a pc connected to the lan Jan 19 18:50:51 if their were a capable xml processor that might do it.

Anybody wish to help? Jan 19 22:02:22 what's the problem/ Jan 19 22:08:16 well, i bought a brand new nslu2 Jan 19 22:08:47 it had an old firmware, and i flashed it to a new version (63, not unslug) Jan 19 22:09:02 but I can't format any drive in the web interface Jan 19 22:09:15 so reflash it? Jan 19 22:09:33 i tried with a 128Mb usb key and a 4 gb usb disk, and none of those can be formatted via web interface Jan 19 22:09:50 already reflashed with firmware 63, nothing changed Jan 19 22:10:39 disks are recognized corretly, but in the format page a popup message says "Disk1 in sot an hard disk, cannot format" Jan 19 22:10:43 is not Jan 19 22:10:45 downgrade it or try unslung? i had something quirky like that though and i seem to recall it was because i'd half got unslinged. so i had to use a linux box to wipe the drive and try again Jan 19 22:11:06 ahh actually i get that with one of my sticks. Jan 19 22:11:10 disks are fat32, and empty Jan 19 22:11:11 dont know what it is Jan 19 22:11:26 i found formatting in the web interface flakey Jan 19 22:11:48 well, ONE usb key is a bug, both disks is a bit more... Jan 19 22:11:57 any instructions for formatting from console? Jan 19 22:12:08 can i format the drive via telnet if I unslung? Jan 19 22:12:38 my point exactly. how can i format the drive via console with original firm? Jan 19 22:12:49 you can't Jan 19 22:13:30 ok, so i have to unslung but without really unslunging to a drive... Jan 19 22:13:37 is it correct? Jan 19 22:13:47 yeah you can unslung without unslinging Jan 19 22:14:42 but in that case I'll need the recovery procedure for reverting to the original firmware Jan 19 22:15:00 or can i keep the unslung undefinitely? Jan 19 22:15:30 you can keep it unslung. it's compatible with the 63 linksys firmware Jan 19 22:15:37 does it that it does Jan 19 22:16:10 or better, my idea is to try with a couple of usb disk from a friend of mine. If i unsling to any drive, can i change the drive? Jan 19 22:16:15 but if you do then when 64 comes out you must follow whatever upgrade instructions it has. not just flash to linksys Jan 19 22:16:40 yes you can swap drive Jan 19 22:16:58 you then revert back to running from flash Jan 19 22:17:03 even after unsling? What happen in this case? Jan 19 22:17:19 even after unsling - you revert to unslung from flash Jan 19 22:18:21 it's something automatic, when the right drive is not found, or there is a procedure? I didn't found it in the wiki Jan 19 22:18:44 automatic if it doesnt find an unslinged drive Jan 19 22:19:01 wow, I didn't expect that! Jan 19 22:19:05 it then becomes effectivley linksys version + telnet Jan 19 22:22:33 thank you very much Jan 19 22:22:38 np Jan 19 22:22:50 after a redboot test i'll try the unslung firm Jan 19 22:23:28 even if it seem quite difficult to get into redboot Jan 19 22:23:47 no dont let that put you off Jan 19 22:24:00 i was scared at first but then it's not all that bad Jan 19 22:25:01 mine it's just a logistic problem... it's not so easy here to get the nslu connected via crossed cable Jan 19 22:25:15 dont need crossed cable Jan 19 22:25:23 i already tried via router but didn't work Jan 19 22:25:27 just a change of ip on your pc Jan 19 22:26:06 easiest way i did it was two windows. one pinging the slug and another waiting with the telnet command Jan 19 22:26:27 tomorrow i'll try harder. now it's late for me... Jan 19 22:26:42 but already tried the two windows and didn't work Jan 19 22:26:43 yeah nite Jan 19 22:26:49 good night Jan 19 22:35:15 should dfghi return, someone should mention to him that the stock Linksys firmware considers any device under 10GBytes in size to be a flash device, and it will refuse to format same. Jan 19 22:35:53 really? i didn't know that Jan 19 22:54:59 hey! im trying to install debian on my nslu2. I have pre-partitioned my 1 gb usb stick (256 mb swap, and the rest as ext3 mounted on /).. it starts to install, but stops at 6% "Retrieving bsdmainutils ...." and has been there for over an hour now Jan 19 22:55:19 im starting to suspect that something is wrong, even though i was told that the entire installation process would take roughly 2.5 hours Jan 19 23:00:36 the nslu2 has not crashed, (i can still login and view processes via another ssh connection).. and it seems to not be under any significant load Jan 19 23:00:41 just like its waiting for something Jan 19 23:00:51 it has about 1 mb of free memory Jan 19 23:09:01 what is the device name of the usb stick in debian installer? /dev/sda isnt there :/ Jan 19 23:16:55 check dmesg Jan 19 23:22:05 hi Jan 19 23:22:22 hi mwester **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Jan 20 02:59:57 2007
