Mar 04 10:48:56 I assume it is some sort of environment seting but I dont know how to investigagte Mar 04 13:15:29 wtf is bashpodder Mar 04 13:16:02 oh shell script to get podcasts Mar 04 15:22:57 hi guys. Can nslu2 act as a usb slave? Mar 04 15:23:43 what i want to do is hook something to an usb host and then have that device in turn connect to a samba share, that way giving the usb host access to file on the samba share Mar 04 15:23:56 kinda backwards what nslu2 normally does Mar 04 15:24:09 can that be done, or does anybody know if a device that can? Mar 04 15:31:49 anybody? Mar 04 15:32:49 You've asked your question, just wait, if theres anyone that can help out, and they;ve seen it, they'll say something Mar 04 15:33:32 sorry Mar 04 15:34:48 :) Mar 04 15:43:12 asperon: someone worked really really hard to make that happen; I'm not sure if it ever worked. Check the mailing list archives. It requires hardware modifications, and kernel modifications (and requires SlugOS (aka OpenSlug)). Mar 04 15:44:11 mwester: ok, ill have a look in the archives, thnx Mar 04 16:11:09 hi Mar 04 16:12:55 had any luck nick61? Mar 04 16:14:01 asperon: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddDeviceSideUSBPort Mar 04 16:14:55 nope unfortunately Mar 04 16:15:11 nick61: what's the problem? Mar 04 16:15:16 I've checked a new firmware, r72 Mar 04 16:15:34 I need a ftp server with passv on my nslu2 Mar 04 16:15:52 What distro is your nslu2 running? Mar 04 16:16:26 now unslung 6.8 with unsling on disk2 flash Mar 04 16:17:03 Sorry, I'm not familiar with that. I run SlugOS or GentooSlug on my slugs. Mar 04 16:17:26 I've spent 2 days trying vsftpd and proftpd with no luck Mar 04 16:18:41 well, I'm ready to install/run anything that will do the trick: ftp passv (to be able to run behind nat/firewall) Mar 04 16:19:00 and 2 or more NTFS disks in a usb hub Mar 04 16:29:12 nick61: if you're linux literate, I highly recommend OpenSlug. Mar 04 16:29:18 joshin: thnx, but the last comments seem to indicate that the port isn't working?! Mar 04 16:30:01 asperon: Seems not to be at the moment. (The non-working edit is new from the last time I read the page) Mar 04 16:30:15 Maybe you could fix it? :) Mar 04 16:31:47 sad to say that my linux knowledge about such things is a bit lacking Mar 04 16:32:30 strange that nobody has build a device that lets you connect to samba shares on the local lan via usb Mar 04 16:32:44 then again, perhaps i am the only one needing to?! Mar 04 16:33:33 asperon: im sure someone had done that for a university project Mar 04 16:33:34 * mwester wonders what sort of problem would require that sort of solution Mar 04 16:33:42 joshin: thanks but unfortunately I'm not a linux user, but my knowledges about networks and file structures are at a medium level (at least I think so :) Mar 04 16:34:09 nick61: have you read the warnings on the wiki regarding the use of NTFS on Linux? Mar 04 16:34:10 Reedy_Boy: if you'd find a link or something, please pass it along Mar 04 16:34:50 mwester: I'm not sure what warnings are you talking about... Mar 04 16:34:56 It doesn't work. Mar 04 16:35:20 Hangs/crashes the Linksys (and Unslung) firmware under load. Mar 04 16:35:53 but here is written something else: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/NTFS Mar 04 16:36:57 That same page says: Mar 04 16:37:12 "Finaly the ntfs driver isn't as stable as it should be. Test shows that the slug will hang when writing to ntfs under high io load." Mar 04 16:37:24 [sic] Mar 04 16:37:59 asperon: what is the real problem that you are trying to solve with the USB solution? Mar 04 16:38:24 asperon: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~cs9242/06/project/slug.shtml Mar 04 16:38:26 mwester: i want the numark d2 to access the mp3/wav files stored in a server in my local lan Mar 04 16:38:26 i think it was that Mar 04 16:38:44 well, I thought it is solved below in the text, with that ufsd package... Mar 04 16:38:54 And the numark d2 does not have network support? Mar 04 16:39:08 no Mar 04 16:39:13 nick61: ufsd is the problem. Mar 04 16:39:18 http://www.numark.com/index.html?http://www.numark.com/products/product_view.php?v=overview&n=166 Mar 04 16:40:30 anyhow, I wasn't able until now to see my ntfs drives under unslung 6.8, but only under linksys v63 and v72 firmware Mar 04 16:40:44 but that was a second problem Mar 04 16:40:59 asperon: cool product. I expect that they probably already know that it's terribly limited without LAN support. Mar 04 16:41:09 because at first I wanted to get a ftp passv even on ext3 Mar 04 16:41:16 disks Mar 04 16:41:24 asperon: scrap that, its only a way of serial support i think Mar 04 16:41:43 Reedy_Boy: seems so Mar 04 16:41:55 mwester: it runs linux etc Mar 04 16:42:09 so if they wanted to add network support that would be kinda easy i guess Mar 04 16:43:14 nick61: divide and conquer Mar 04 16:43:36 :) Mar 04 16:43:37 hehe Mar 04 16:43:42 nick61: once you have a stable slug running, I would suggest that you install an ftp daemon, and get it working in standalone mode. Mar 04 16:43:54 nick61: then see if you can get it running via xinetd. Mar 04 16:44:05 yeah, that is exactly what I've tried Mar 04 16:44:30 but with no luck Mar 04 16:44:35 because Mar 04 16:44:47 nick61: xinetd is nothing more than a broker: it waits on various ports, and when it gets a connection, it finds the service that *should* have been waiting on those ports, fires it up, and passes over the connection. Very nice, but much can go wrong. Mar 04 16:46:11 seems like cortex have the same type of player, gonna check its spec Mar 04 16:46:32 * mwester notes that getting ftp daemons running used to be really really easy, before the internet became such a dangerous place... Mar 04 16:46:43 I'm stuck at this step installing xinetd: # Set up the server for start by copying the diversion script to your hard drive unslung directory, like cp /opt/doc/xinetd/rc.xinetd /share/hdd/conf/unslung. Do NOT copy to /unslung as this directory can be located on the flash and doing that might prevent you from getting a clean system when booting without disks connected. Mar 04 16:47:27 So you already have it configured so you can connect and download if you start it manually? Mar 04 16:47:44 No Mar 04 16:47:58 after several resets and re-unslungs Mar 04 16:48:03 now Mar 04 16:48:10 I'm at the step Mar 04 16:48:11 Ok, then you are laying seige to a city before your army has reached it. Mar 04 16:48:46 imediately after unsling to disk2 and ipkg install xinetd Mar 04 16:48:53 you are trying to automate the startup of the service -- but we haven't yet even got the service configured and working on its own. Mar 04 16:49:09 Don't install xinetd. Mar 04 16:49:47 it is a broker to more efficiently start network services; you don't need it yet Mar 04 16:49:55 ok, I don't (yesterday I've tried vsftpd without xinetd also with no luck) Mar 04 16:50:21 so I'm imediately after unsling to disk2 and the slug is up and running Mar 04 16:50:33 what is best to do now? Mar 04 16:50:47 Which ftp service have you selected? Mar 04 16:51:13 at the moment none, which one to choose ? vsftpd or proftpd ? Mar 04 16:53:03 I don't know if there is a "default" ftp daemon in unslung 6.8 Mar 04 16:54:05 because in this case, the "default" is the service "choosen" (I've just re-installed unslung and unsling to disk 2) Mar 04 16:54:32 ah, and I've installed openssh Mar 04 16:54:46 The default is bftp. Have you checked to see if it does what you need? Mar 04 16:55:12 no, because I didn't know about it... Mar 04 16:55:37 It just magically appeared in the R63 Linksys firmware. Mar 04 16:56:00 They don't even document it beyond what, if anything, is in the GUI help text. Mar 04 16:56:22 ok, but where to find docs to configure ports for passv access ? Mar 04 16:57:01 (probably a conf file or something) Mar 04 16:57:33 No docs - the Linksys firmware handles that daemon. You'll have to find/figure out that one if you wish to use it. I'm not even sure that btftp supports PASV Mar 04 16:58:07 anyhow, this is a BIG stet ahead from friday until now, because now there is an explanation Mar 04 16:58:37 why neither vsftpd or proftpd were able to start Mar 04 16:58:59 it is because port 21 were already used ! Mar 04 16:59:29 so, I think I could go on with stopping this btftp Mar 04 16:59:30 :) Mar 04 16:59:37 and install vsftpd Mar 04 16:59:41 the bftpd.conf file is in /etc Mar 04 16:59:52 looking at it, it seems to imply that it does passv Mar 04 16:59:58 I'll check now Mar 04 17:01:44 YESS !! Mar 04 17:02:23 It seems that I even not need unslung, but linksys 63 is enough, am I wrong ? Mar 04 17:02:56 ;) Of course you are wrong! Everyone needs at least Unslung! Mar 04 17:03:13 Take care to check out security if you will open the device to the internet Mar 04 17:03:29 And do not have high expectations of reliability if you use NTFS disks Mar 04 17:04:02 ok thank you very much Mar 04 17:04:26 what do I need to do to "see" ntfs partitions with unslung ? Mar 04 17:04:48 It should see them the same as the Linksys firmware Mar 04 17:04:56 nope Mar 04 17:05:04 linksys v63 is ok Mar 04 17:05:06 What USB port are you using for the disks? Mar 04 17:05:13 but unslung 6.8 not Mar 04 17:05:27 disk 1 is for ntfs disks Mar 04 17:05:38 What is the language setting you have selected in the GUI? Mar 04 17:05:43 and disk 2 for unsling Mar 04 17:05:59 in the web interface? just a moment Mar 04 17:06:56 slavic/latin 2 Mar 04 17:07:08 :) http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/KnownProblems third bullet. Mar 04 17:07:50 HAAA !! Mar 04 17:07:58 Didn't see it ! Mar 04 17:08:42 <_FireFly_> [23:33] if 128MB works for you please report here or on #nslu2-german with "Sinclair73de" in your post Mar 04 17:08:47 <_FireFly_> Sinclair73de: I have no dma errors Mar 04 17:09:21 If you are not needing Slavic/Latin 2 with samba shares, then you can do the same technique for Slavic / Latin 2 as is described for Western Europe / Latin 1 ... Mar 04 17:09:28 Ok, restarting engines, I'll post the result with the passv ftp, 10x a lot mwester ! Mar 04 17:09:39 Good luck! Mar 04 18:58:13 #wikipedia Mar 04 21:10:33 odd one here, slug configured for static ip, i try to change it in the linksys gui to another static ip, changes, upon reboot it goes back to the previous IP any ideas? Mar 04 21:44:22 Hi. i'v just reformated my ds101 HD and installed the latest firmware (2.0.1 - 3.0371) Mar 04 21:45:26 when I try to run sh ds101-bootstrap_0.1-8_armeb.xsh the box complaints about /lib/ld-linux.so.2 notfound **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Mar 05 02:59:57 2007
