**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Feb 05 02:59:57 2007 Feb 05 18:38:58 hi guys, I'm a newbie and am following these instructions http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/UnslungLanguageSupport How do I create the mentioned diversion script? Feb 05 18:39:04 #!/bin/sh Feb 05 18:39:04 insmod nls_cp850 Feb 05 18:39:04 return 1 Feb 05 18:39:31 I'm supposed to create the file /unslung/rc.modules Feb 05 18:41:51 With your favorite text editor! (vi is built-in to unslung, you can also install nano if you prefer) Feb 05 18:42:37 ok so how do I run vi ? Feb 05 18:42:47 I don't know what I prefer =) Feb 05 18:43:02 ok, am in vi now, I guess Feb 05 18:43:18 actually no, hmm Feb 05 18:43:42 Google for a primer on vi; it's not something easy to explain via an IRC session... Feb 05 18:48:41 You can also (if you type very carefully) create it by just typing the text into the file, thusly: Feb 05 18:49:03 At the command prompt, type "cat >/unslung/rc.modules" Feb 05 18:49:40 You'll get no prompt at all, but just enter the text that's supposed to be in the file, line by line. There's no way to go back if you messed up, though. Feb 05 18:50:02 After entering the last line, enter a character on a line by itself. Feb 05 18:50:36 You'll get a command prompt back, and from there you can verify that the file /unslung/rc.modules now exists, and check that the content is correct. Feb 05 18:51:00 If it's wrong, delete it ("rm /unslung/rc.modules"), and try again... Feb 05 18:52:45 actually I found a short intro for vi, tried creating the file, have rebooted now Feb 05 18:53:01 how do I check if it's in /unslung/rc.modules Feb 05 18:58:41 ok, seems I managed, the slug rebooted and the NTFS drive is now mounted directly Feb 05 19:05:06 :) Looks good, then. And you've had an intro to the essential management tool for Unslung (the vi editor)... Feb 05 19:06:27 Just a note - there are reliability issues with the Linksys NTFS driver; it does tend to lock up from time-to-time under load (both on the native Linksys firmware, and because Unslung is based on that code, it also does this on Unslung from time to time... :( Feb 05 19:06:39 ) Feb 05 19:07:38 is ntfs any more stable under slugos? Feb 05 19:09:50 There's no ntfs driver on slugos. Feb 05 19:10:03 heh - i guess that answers that then Feb 05 19:10:31 The one on Unslung is from the Linksys firmware; which they purchased from a third-party. to date, there is no complete NTFS open-source driver that I'm aware of. Feb 05 19:10:43 I get really bad speed transfer to my 400Gb ext3 drive Feb 05 19:11:02 doens't matter if I'm connected by wlan or cable Feb 05 19:11:29 the drive is completly new and I just wanted to copy to it from my PC bur the speed is at 56kps Feb 05 19:11:51 goes faster downloading from online =) Feb 05 19:12:01 do you know why this might happen? Feb 05 19:13:04 sorry that is 56KBps according to my ftp client Feb 05 19:13:19 is it any better on samba? Feb 05 19:13:42 don't remember but think I then also got slow speeds Feb 05 19:14:31 it's not passing 58KBps Feb 05 19:15:18 i'm no expert but others in here have struggled with speed if it is ntfs, otherwse i get around 4mbps to mine on vsftpd and smb Feb 05 19:15:41 this is to an ext3 drive Feb 05 19:15:58 yeah i figured. so i don't really know what to say. Feb 05 19:16:07 I have 2 drives, on usb 2 an 400Gb ext3 that is unslung and on USB1 a 150 NTFS Feb 05 19:16:23 actually I can't even write to my NTFS drive.. Feb 05 19:17:11 mwester: do you have a clue? Feb 05 19:18:12 wait, I can write to the NTFS drive through windows but not if I connect through FTP Feb 05 19:18:19 but my main issue is the slow speed Feb 05 19:21:44 will try overclocking the slug Feb 05 19:24:59 Goran, on your speed issue, you shut down all upnp services on the slug, as well as on your whole network, and you should force all device to 100mb/full. another possibility is, connect your nslu directly to your workstation (crossovercable) and test the speed again (this maybe the easiest way) Feb 05 19:27:14 hi caplink811 agian Feb 05 19:27:16 again* Feb 05 19:27:27 :) Feb 05 19:28:01 I have a Frtiz box which you might be familiar with ;) and have 2 UPnP settings Feb 05 19:28:11 Statusinformationen über UPnP übertragen (empfohlen) and Änderungen der Sicherheitseinstellungen über UPnP gestatten Feb 05 19:28:24 should both be deselected Feb 05 19:29:42 i'm not of friend of upnp (in any cases), but to eleminate that, just connect the nslu and your workstation directly, and test the network speed Feb 05 19:30:21 well, myself would deselect this options Feb 05 19:31:43 nope, deactivating the 2 check boxes didn't help Feb 05 19:32:23 do you deactivated upnd on the nslu too? Feb 05 19:34:20 i did deactivated now but no change, maybe it requires a reboot Feb 05 19:34:41 this may be better Feb 05 19:35:50 is it possible to play audio under unslung? Feb 05 19:37:36 drif: it's been done, but I'm not sure that the drivers are current. Feb 05 19:39:18 caplink811: no improvement after rebooting Feb 05 19:39:20 =/ Feb 05 19:39:28 'will try direct connection Feb 05 19:39:39 hm, you should try a direct connection Feb 05 19:39:44 k **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Feb 06 02:59:57 2007
