**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Feb 14 02:59:57 2007 Feb 14 03:01:04 mwester, I have one question about OpenSlug that I don't understand: Feb 14 03:01:31 I read 'UsingTheBinary', but I'm assuming at some point in the installation I have to install to a USB flash drive, don't I? Feb 14 03:01:52 Sort of. Feb 14 03:02:00 the internal flash is probably limited. I understand I upload the initial OpenSlug firmware into the internal flash. Feb 14 03:02:21 The way both Unslung and OpenSlug work is that the kernel, and a very small rootfs are in the internal flash. Feb 14 03:02:31 Then I reboot, login with ssh, run tunup init, etc. Feb 14 03:02:35 The device is capable of running in that state, but not very functional. Feb 14 03:02:44 (I'm reading InitialisingOpenSlug) Feb 14 03:03:05 But at some point I must designate some mount point to be on the flash drive so it has enough space to install stuff, don't I? Feb 14 03:03:08 So you run "unsling" on Unslung, and "turnup" on OpenSlug to create a new rootfs on the external device -- then the device "switches" in early boot to the external device. Feb 14 03:03:16 I cannot seem to see that step in InitialisingOpenSlug. Feb 14 03:03:27 Yes, the turnup command in Openslug takes arguements that specify the target device and type. Feb 14 03:03:29 ahh, turnup is that step already! Feb 14 03:03:36 I got it. Feb 14 03:03:48 alright the, that will be my task tomorrow. Feb 14 03:03:54 :) Feb 14 03:03:58 mwester, again, thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it very much! Feb 14 03:04:06 no problem, happy to help. Feb 14 03:30:23 I recently ran into some troubles w/ rtorrent & safe_sync problems. Is it possible to upgrade/downgrade the kernel to get around these issues? (debian slug) Feb 14 03:58:31 clues why phpmyadmin doesn't transfer any values.. if I try to alter table/whatever...it outputs sql which has no values..just commands Feb 14 04:05:08 this was new.. it was opera-specific prob.. with ie7 works no probs...:-\ Feb 14 04:37:20 alf: got any php knowledge? Feb 14 13:01:58 hi i've just reflashed my unslung but when i try to unsling he says it is already Feb 14 13:02:07 and tells me to format the disk Feb 14 13:02:28 the problem is that i can't format the disk via the web Feb 14 13:02:50 it says it is formated but the log says it has failed Feb 14 13:02:57 any ideias? Feb 14 14:11:49 I'm running openslug 3.1b, and trying to turn swap on (on a usb flash drive). Doesn't work. swapon /dev/sda2 tells me 'Device or resource busy'. swapon -s does list /dev/sda2, but Used == 0. Feb 14 14:12:01 any ideas? Feb 14 14:12:34 the wiki says 'it seems 3.1 prevents swapon to succeed, all is fine in 2.7' Feb 14 14:12:47 now what does that mean? No swap in 3.1? Or is there a workaround? Feb 14 14:24:16 mwester, are you there? May I ask you directly? Feb 14 17:39:49 hello Feb 14 17:39:56 somebody here ? Feb 14 19:51:28 hi shark Feb 14 21:26:12 Im sorry to ask this question here, but it seems like the debian-arm-channel is asleep and I was hoping someone here could help me. I'm trying to flash the device via the web interface with the unofficial debian image, but i get an error message "Upgrade: No enough free space.". What could be the problem? Feb 14 21:31:50 there is no reason for being sorry.. just ask, and staying online for a while, it is possible that someone have an answer... sometimes Feb 14 21:33:35 too big image? Feb 14 21:34:35 caplink811-log: sometimes people gets really mad for off-topic questions Feb 14 21:35:04 Weltto: yeah probably, but I have followed the installations instructions and downloaded an image that was designed for the device so it seems strange. Feb 14 21:37:25 well, but if you use a #nslu2-xxx channel, so it may be on topic that you asks questions about anything which depends on nslu2 ;) Feb 14 21:38:31 ok then :) Feb 14 21:54:46 caplink: any clue why is_upload() is causing probs using myphpadmin? had to edit that out to make the according .php file work..and still it works only with firefox, not with ie7 or opera... :-\ Feb 14 21:54:56 ok :D not nslu2 guestion.. Feb 14 21:55:02 -g+q Feb 14 21:55:18 drif, no clue at all... Feb 14 21:55:45 php isn't my thing ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Feb 15 02:59:57 2007
