**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Mar 17 02:59:57 2007 Mar 17 17:06:07 does anyone use sendmail on an NSLU? Mar 17 19:16:32 evening Mar 17 19:19:10 hiho Mar 17 19:24:58 need a bit of help with a newly unslung box Mar 17 19:25:28 how flaky is the built-in NTFS kernel module of 6.8 beta? Mar 17 19:25:40 cuz, it magically stopped working... Mar 17 19:25:58 prob very flaky Mar 17 19:26:02 ooh... Mar 17 19:26:13 fat32 better then? Mar 17 19:26:14 only NTFS module I trust in use within windows Mar 17 19:26:21 but then the FUSE one is next Mar 17 19:26:24 fat32!!! Mar 17 19:26:50 ye, but this is a friends slug, so.... i better jsut backup all his stuff, then convert the disk Mar 17 19:26:51 no, just make the drive Ext3 and use an ext3 driver for windows IF you ever have to hook the disk up to a windows machine Mar 17 19:27:20 ye i know how to use ext3 on windows.. so dos he, so i might just whip him into submission Mar 17 19:27:32 fs! Mar 17 19:27:53 ntfs worked flawless, then suddenly...WHAMBAM nowaymam Mar 17 19:28:21 yup, NTFS has its own problem's anyway Mar 17 19:28:25 Ext3 is very stable Mar 17 19:28:40 plus with the right tweak it can be very fast Mar 17 19:28:53 just as fast as ReiserFS (but not at killing ;) ) Mar 17 19:28:54 hdparm on USB disks works? Mar 17 19:29:25 i really thought USB was all bandwidth starved... Mar 17 19:30:59 well... more in more efficient use of the system Mar 17 19:31:03 the metahash Mar 17 19:31:05 indexing... Mar 17 19:31:19 actual transfer speed is limited by USB Mar 17 19:31:27 ah ok Mar 17 19:32:02 on another note... any1 here having experience with gentoo on the slug? Mar 17 19:32:41 bought a econd slug for meself to screw with, cant get gentoo to boot properly... Mar 17 19:34:14 eeek gentoo for the slug, while great on my desktop the thought for the slug was a bit much Mar 17 19:34:21 heh Mar 17 19:34:29 hence why I am just moving from openslug to debian right nwo Mar 17 19:34:32 now* Mar 17 19:34:39 i might fall back to debian then... Mar 17 19:35:01 also, u know anything about mrtg/rrd ? Mar 17 19:35:09 nop Mar 17 19:35:12 damn! Mar 17 19:35:17 wot dat? Mar 17 19:35:23 nobody seems to know a thing on the maillinglist Mar 17 19:35:27 ooh! Mar 17 19:35:38 MRTG= Multi Router Traffic Graphing Mar 17 19:35:57 just just found it, thanks to google Mar 17 19:36:00 mmm interesting Mar 17 19:36:03 makes nice graphs of devices traffic, thru DNMP Mar 17 19:36:08 SNMP* Mar 17 19:36:16 so its a CGI script Mar 17 19:36:19 nah Mar 17 19:36:27 http://www.fi.muni.cz/~kas/mrtg-rrd/ Mar 17 19:36:30 thats only when u switch to RRD Mar 17 19:36:34 :D Mar 17 19:36:38 mrtg is perl Mar 17 19:36:41 itself Mar 17 19:37:01 RRD is a tool for converting and maintaining log files in databse format Mar 17 19:37:45 then, instead of MRTG generating graphs on every update, RRD just makes proper DB, and u use webserver to generate grpahs on-the-fly Mar 17 19:38:05 i wnated to switch o RRD Mar 17 19:38:22 but, the ipakg install misses a vital perl module Mar 17 19:38:27 ipkg* Mar 17 19:38:44 and, i was wondering if any1 had 1 Mar 17 19:40:21 i was actually hoping for mwester to maybe give a hint, since he's my slug guru... Mar 17 19:40:26 :) Mar 17 20:08:39 I have been reading over the wiki for the debian install (abt to start once drive is checked out) Mar 17 20:09:02 there is talk of changing the bootloader to chainboot APEX or something - this needed to be done ? Mar 17 20:45:55 hello? Mar 17 22:27:25 hi Mar 17 22:27:35 the debian installer keeps disconnecting me ~ 71% Mar 17 22:27:55 I did do the trick of logging in from another session and ensuring swap is on Mar 17 22:27:58 any ideas? Mar 17 22:29:26 does the installer disconnect you and then carry on? Mar 17 23:29:12 Reedy_Boy: I gave you bad info lst night when I did a 'dist-upgrade' on my debianslug. Mar 17 23:29:26 Oh aye Mar 17 23:29:28 I mistakenly posted the /proc/version of my slugosle slug. Mar 17 23:29:47 Turns out my debianslug is in the same boat as yours. Mar 17 23:30:27 oooh Mar 17 23:30:46 i posted on one of the mailing lists, i was told it was up to date Mar 17 23:31:25 I saw that. I left a message regarding my mitake but the mod hasn't posted it yet. :) Mar 17 23:31:39 s/mitake/mistake Mar 17 23:32:17 heh Mar 17 23:32:56 Gotta run for an hour or so.. just wanted you to know that I was dead wrong . Sorry for that. Mar 17 23:33:21 No worries :) Mar 17 23:55:05 So, was wondering.. what is the telltale sign that one is running RC2 vs RC1? Mar 18 00:02:34 hello to away still around, Mar 18 00:03:53 I'm trying to mount iso's using the loopback. So I did insmod loop, and Mar 18 00:04:14 mount -o loop -t iso9660 myiso.iso mountpoint but got a No such device error Mar 18 00:05:55 * mwester is eager to play "guess that firmware!", and examines what steev said for clues.... ;-) Mar 18 00:06:16 can I guess? ;) Mar 18 00:06:38 I bet you already know, though! Mar 18 00:06:49 You could provide another clue, though. :) Mar 18 00:07:04 LIke what? Mar 18 00:07:26 Unslung, SlugOS, Debian, etc? Mar 18 00:07:46 Begins in 'un', ends in 'slung' Mar 18 00:07:54 enough of a clue? Mar 18 00:08:01 :) Mar 18 00:08:08 Ah, ok. 6.8 or 5.5? Mar 18 00:09:02 6.8 Mar 18 00:09:22 Did you also insmod isofs.o? Mar 18 00:09:36 And check to see if /dev/loop0 exists. Mar 18 00:10:51 I use this line to mount it; should be the same except I also specify read-only -- I don't think that is the problem, though: Mar 18 00:10:54 mount /public/ISO/FC-5-i386-DVD.iso /public/fc5 -t iso9660 -o ro,loop Mar 18 00:12:36 Hmmm... I guess I should update that loopback mount for FC6, huh? Mar 18 00:13:08 isofs was the problem Mar 18 00:13:17 * steev grimaces at his own stupidity Mar 18 00:13:23 thanks mwester! Mar 18 00:14:12 You're welcome :) Mar 18 00:59:24 I am having an ssh disconnect issue with debian-etch installer Mar 18 00:59:41 done the enable swap suggestion and all that but every time at 71% Mar 18 01:00:14 all ssh is lost and will only boot back to the installer.. Mar 18 01:00:19 any idea's anyone? Mar 18 01:04:36 ARR again Mar 18 01:04:48 Installing the base system: was the section it got to before it drops Mar 18 01:04:50 ssh Mar 18 01:04:59 512meg of swap but only 7meg used... **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Mar 18 02:59:56 2007
