**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 29 02:59:56 2007 Mar 29 06:08:11 i'm not sure if this is the place to ask this or if there is another chat room that i missed, but i was trying to install gentoo onto my slug following the directions here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Linksys_NSLU2 however when i get to the part where i'm supposed to chroot into the gentoo system it retruns this: "chroot: cannot execute /bin/bash: Exec format error" i'm not sure what i did wrong but one thing that see Mar 29 06:12:44 nvm i found the problem (i accidently downloaded the wrong link from www.slug-firmware.net) i had downloaded the SlugOS/LE instead of the /BE Mar 29 19:03:19 Is there trouble for mysql and sqlite to coexist on the NSLU? Mar 29 19:23:18 hey all.. I am using the most recent version of unslung and having major permissions issues Mar 29 19:23:35 how would I go about giving every user on the system r/w access to all the files in every share Mar 29 19:36:37 Kewlb, are you still using the provided Samba or did you update it? Mar 29 19:37:19 one that came with Unslung if it changed it Mar 29 19:37:28 I have not updated to the newer version thouogh Mar 29 19:37:32 *though Mar 29 19:37:40 if using the provided samba, just use the linksys web interface, go into groups and add all the users to the admin group Mar 29 19:37:50 tried chmod -R a+rw Mar 29 19:38:00 on each dir.. works for a bit, then things get all screwed up again Mar 29 19:38:06 voila... instant access for all to all shares.... Mar 29 19:38:20 I could have sworn i tried that, ByronT.. I will try it again Mar 29 19:39:52 speaking from experience, I've only added my user to the admin group using the linksys web interface, and I can browse even the ADMIN share Mar 29 19:40:14 k Mar 29 19:40:17 let me try that Mar 29 19:40:22 I doubt I did that Mar 29 19:40:26 as only 1 user is a member of the admin group Mar 29 19:40:37 ByronT :) Mar 29 19:40:45 however the comptuer in question (my 2k3 server / media streaming server) is using the shares as Admin (logged in as admin) Mar 29 19:40:50 and it can not access the files Mar 29 19:41:06 then again I do move them / create them, etc.. via ssh logged in as root, heh Mar 29 19:43:34 nope. that did not work, unfortunantly Mar 29 19:45:01 here are the perms for a dir in question: drwxrw-rw- 2 brian root 4096 Mar 15 15:35 Futurama - Season 1 Mar 29 20:14:25 hmmmm.... then potentially your media streamer is having the issue Mar 29 20:14:53 not so much the user... I think I recall something similar with mt-daapd and files that I had transferred from a windows box to my slug Mar 29 20:15:07 but then I've been quite absent minded recently Mar 29 21:10:12 joshin: What was the part number of that 5V regulator you pointed me at a while back? Mar 29 21:36:15 Anyone know of a 5V regulator that accepts 12V in and can supply more than 1A? Mar 29 22:02:16 Does pth12000 ring a bell? Mar 29 22:06:27 There we go! Mar 29 22:06:29 Thanks. Mar 29 22:07:08 np Mar 29 22:12:30 How often does TI let you order samples? Mar 29 22:17:39 depends on your excuse for ordering them. :) Mar 29 22:17:56 (Was at my kids sports class...) Mar 29 22:23:10 Ah. Mar 29 22:23:21 Well, I was honest with mine ("Battery Power Management") Mar 29 22:23:50 And considering I got 7805s, 7812s, 555s, and 556s, I don't think they can disprove me. Mar 29 22:23:57 (Though the MAX232s might throw them off.) Mar 29 22:24:57 joshin: SO what's the approximate wait time? Mar 29 22:25:44 I haven't ordered samples from TI in years. Don't remember... The last samples I ordered were from Analog Devices and took 10 days or so. Mar 29 22:26:20 oh. Mar 29 22:26:29 TI is very fast. Mar 29 22:26:44 They let you choose FedEx Overnight or 2nd Day for free if you want. Mar 29 22:26:52 I picked FedEx Ground and got them in 3 days. Mar 29 22:26:56 Not bad, eh? Mar 29 22:26:58 nice Mar 29 22:27:33 And they're 1.5A 7805s, so that's a plus. Mar 29 22:27:40 I thought they maxed out at 1A. Mar 29 22:28:08 Also, is it possible to wire these in parallel, and get more current capacity. Mar 29 22:28:12 ?* Mar 30 00:11:56 I just boosted my slug from 133 to 266 Mar 30 00:11:57 :) Mar 30 00:12:21 The NSLU2 is better than LEGO! Mar 30 00:13:15 What did you use to chop off the resister? :) Mar 30 00:13:51 nail clippers.. as suggested by some in the wiki Mar 30 00:13:52 *resistor Mar 30 00:14:29 Yea, they work well. Did you have a cold sweat doing it? :-) Mar 30 00:14:35 I wonder what kind of clippers people use :D mine wouldn't fit the space (although those aren't that big instrument) Mar 30 00:14:36 yes offcourse Mar 30 00:14:44 the image in the wiki made it look huge Mar 30 00:14:48 but it's soooooooo tiny Mar 30 00:14:53 it is Mar 30 00:15:16 it's good the resistor is on the edge and not in the middle Mar 30 00:15:20 that would have been tough Mar 30 00:15:22 After you do it a couple times, it becomes trivial. :-) Mar 30 00:15:25 I had to convert to stone age :D ledge with tiny screwdriver and bash away Mar 30 00:15:36 couple of times? what, are you running a slug farm? Mar 30 00:15:37 hehehe Mar 30 00:16:11 yesterday I setup the wintv pvr usb2 with my slug Mar 30 00:16:17 * mwester used a soldering iron on his first one. Nail clippers are much easier. Mar 30 00:16:18 works fine? Mar 30 00:16:20 I can save cable tv video Mar 30 00:16:26 which is so cool Mar 30 00:16:41 I will have to write a script to schedule recordings of tv shows Mar 30 00:16:48 is it digital receiver? Mar 30 00:16:51 no Mar 30 00:17:00 a USB2 tv tuner Mar 30 00:17:07 just a sec Mar 30 00:17:11 I'll grab a link Mar 30 00:17:25 http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_pvrusb2.html Mar 30 00:17:27 this one Mar 30 00:17:31 I'm familiar with the devive, just thought there would be dvb variant Mar 30 00:17:36 device Mar 30 00:17:37 ohh... Mar 30 00:17:52 no, I don't think there's even a driver for dvb Mar 30 00:17:59 thought about purchasing one few years back, but decided to get pvr350 and set up a linux machine for it Mar 30 00:18:12 drif, good choice Mar 30 00:18:25 i'm doing it this way because I want to save electricity Mar 30 00:18:32 yeah, it was nice to schedule recordings via cellphone on the road Mar 30 00:18:47 and because i'm a little worried leaving a computer turned on all the time (when i'm not in the house) Mar 30 00:18:50 scary thoughts Mar 30 00:18:51 ... Mar 30 00:20:22 so, analog signal will be valid for some time there still? Mar 30 00:21:15 here it will be completely dead in less than 6 months Mar 30 00:22:05 i'm in Canad Mar 30 00:22:06 Canada Mar 30 00:22:07 :) Mar 30 00:22:24 even if it dies Mar 30 00:22:49 the WinTV has those digital inputs Mar 30 00:22:55 video in, left/right audio Mar 30 00:23:06 i'm not sure if a driver exists to decode those Mar 30 00:23:06 digital, are you sure? Mar 30 00:23:28 not digital.. but the yellow/red/white ports Mar 30 00:23:36 i'm not sure if they're digital Mar 30 00:23:38 are they? Mar 30 00:24:08 http://www.hauppauge.com/images/pvrusb2_ep2_bg.jpg Mar 30 00:24:31 s-video Mar 30 00:24:37 Yeah! Mar 30 00:25:22 now, next in my list is a command line utility that can stream video over the network Mar 30 00:25:31 so I can watch live tv on my notebook Mar 30 00:26:22 when the pvrusb2 driver, I can do 'cat /dev/video > my_video.mpg' and it will save the stream until I press CTRL+C Mar 30 00:26:50 I'm looking for software that will stream the video coming from '/dev/video0 Mar 30 00:26:51 ' Mar 30 00:27:15 I hope the slugger can handle streaming video Mar 30 00:27:28 atleast it works fine with showcenter Mar 30 00:27:58 not really streaming though, more like serving files via http Mar 30 00:28:48 This may be similar, somewhat, to what I have been trying to do... maybe :) I have a USB video grabber Mar 30 00:28:57 oops Mar 30 00:29:46 kapookee, connected to the Slug? Mar 30 00:29:51 or a normal computer like drif? Mar 30 00:30:53 im installing mplayer now Mar 30 00:30:59 I want to see if it can do the job or not Mar 30 00:31:16 which firmware you're using? Mar 30 00:32:03 debian :) Mar 30 00:32:32 don't envy me, please Mar 30 00:32:34 hehehe Mar 30 00:32:35 tried vlc btw? Mar 30 00:32:39 no Mar 30 00:32:46 I thought vlc was a gui? Mar 30 00:32:55 also that of course Mar 30 00:33:07 ohhhhh Mar 30 00:33:07 but that's just gui Mar 30 00:33:18 didn't know VLC can be run from the command line Mar 30 00:33:35 ronni: ehm, why would I envy you? :D Mar 30 00:33:56 test Mar 30 00:33:56 no, no, nobody would Mar 30 00:34:02 it's slow in debian world Mar 30 00:34:13 it's a slow world with debian Mar 30 00:34:24 not optimized like the other firmwares Mar 30 00:34:32 okay, anyone familiar with the em28xx driver? Mar 30 00:34:34 why using it then? Mar 30 00:34:54 because it has tons of packages... easier for n00bs Mar 30 00:34:56 :) Mar 30 00:36:05 I've been using unslung so far, on both my slugs - but now when the secondary crashed badly I might consider something else on that Mar 30 00:36:58 if let's say I do an 'rm -rf *' Mar 30 00:37:03 and screw up my firmware Mar 30 00:37:15 I can also upload another firmware or the same one Mar 30 00:37:17 right? Mar 30 00:37:54 if I understood correctly, yes Mar 30 00:38:30 although you must use upslug2 or similar - in case you have just used the web admin page of the original firmware so far Mar 30 00:54:31 western Mar 30 01:42:00 I did it Mar 30 01:42:03 I did it with VLC Mar 30 01:42:20 it works!! I can watch TV wirelessly through the slug!! oh yeah!!! WOooooooooooooooooo Mar 30 01:43:48 using 38% of CPU Mar 30 01:57:09 :) good to hear Mar 30 02:00:57 I just found out I'm using an old pvrusb2 driver Mar 30 02:01:10 I downloaded it from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/debianslug/cross/3.10-beta/ Mar 30 02:01:46 is there a place were I could download the latest ipk software/drivers? Mar 30 02:03:18 are you sure those would run any better? Mar 30 02:03:27 or are there any info about the newer ones Mar 30 02:04:22 I just talked to a guy in #pvrusb2 Mar 30 02:04:40 the latest one is much better, lots of bug fixes since the one I downloaded Mar 30 02:04:48 http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2/history.html Mar 30 02:05:04 the latest is: pvrusb2-mci-20070227 Mar 30 02:05:48 I will need to find out how I can create an ipk package Mar 30 02:11:17 you can start with the Make Masterfile Mar 30 02:12:11 once you get it, you need to make some bitbake stuff... and it will work Mar 30 02:14:23 pierrelux, will I be able to do it if my firmware is debian? Mar 30 02:15:21 you mean, if you use debian on the slug ? Mar 30 02:15:53 *not Make MasterFile but rather Master Makefile :) Mar 30 02:16:11 yeah, debian on the slug Mar 30 02:17:13 it will set up and openembedded environment that will help you then compiling using a toolchain for arm Mar 30 02:18:08 ahhh I see Mar 30 02:18:39 native development is also possible Mar 30 02:18:43 see http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/HomePage Mar 30 02:18:45 and slow Mar 30 02:19:23 but probably easier to work with Mar 30 02:21:07 anyone familiar with LVM? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 30 02:59:56 2007
