**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Apr 15 02:59:56 2007 Apr 15 09:19:21 hey caplink you there? Apr 15 10:34:31 when unslinging the drive on the latest firmware should i have my disk attached to disk2 now? Apr 15 10:35:27 reedy boy.... i managed to get my nslu2 back mate :-) thanx for your help last night... it was your sercomm trick that worked... this morn Apr 15 10:35:53 i couldnt see the slight colour change for upgrade mode till it was light this morn! worked like a charm Apr 15 10:59:03 you there reedy_boy? Apr 15 10:59:44 Hey Apr 15 10:59:48 Sorry Apr 15 11:00:00 So the easy method worked Apr 15 11:00:01 heh Apr 15 11:00:04 i got my nslu workin mate thanx for the help Apr 15 11:00:16 :) Apr 15 11:00:39 yeah i couldnt see the change in colour last night my unit only goes from orange to slightly darker orange. i saw this on a webpage so thought id try it Apr 15 11:01:07 when i enter the unsling command i get a 120 second countdown is this normal? Apr 15 11:01:25 tbh, i cant remember, its months since i unslung mine Apr 15 11:02:07 Why does it say its counting down Apr 15 11:02:27 ok mate. Also you or caplink mentioned that linksys and unsling firmware have altered the disks on the latest firmware. do i connec to disk2 now? Apr 15 11:02:58 it says something like waiting for hdd\share or something as if it cant find hdd Apr 15 11:03:39 Hmm, when i did it before, there was reasons to have it on port 1 and reasons for port 2 Apr 15 11:04:14 ill try again and tell you what it says... Apr 15 11:04:16 But from caplinks experience, i'd go with that, he's more active here than me, and deals with more problems, so he's more than likely seen it s few times Apr 15 11:07:25 its says "waiting for share/hdd/data" and counts down from 120 Apr 15 11:07:51 Is the drive connected and recognised in the web interface? Apr 15 11:08:34 ive stopped it cause i think thats what went wrong last time. yeah says formatted ntfs. once the countdown ends i get errors saying things like "file not found" etc... as if it cant see the drive. Apr 15 11:08:44 although the ls -l works it sees the root Apr 15 11:09:22 you need to get the unit to format it as ext3 (?) in the web intrface before you unsling Apr 15 11:10:21 ok although last time it was ext3 and it still said the error. ill try it tho. thanks Apr 15 11:10:45 well, with it on NTFS its just going to cause more problems, it needs it natively formatted/in a native FS Apr 15 11:11:21 kewl... i remember you said ntfs was the worst last night.. im formatting it to native ext3 now Apr 15 11:33:20 reedy the unsling worked in ext3 ... :-) Apr 15 11:33:34 cheers... hopefully i wont be always here asking for help lol Apr 15 11:37:14 do you need to use a flash drive to install twonky? Apr 15 12:00:44 nope Apr 15 12:00:49 if its unslung to a hard drive that works fine Apr 15 12:01:00 Its Hard drive or flash drive Apr 15 12:18:38 wallace47, as above Apr 15 12:18:48 have you done ipkg update, ipkg upgrade first Apr 15 12:18:55 installed ssh/redirected telnet Apr 15 13:24:16 thanks reeky boy .. twonky provide a automatic setup file. Works like a treat Apr 15 13:24:24 reedy lol Apr 15 13:24:57 heh Apr 15 13:26:15 sorry typo... i promise lol Apr 15 13:28:32 did you do ipkg update and upgrade Apr 15 13:28:33 ? Apr 15 13:28:40 wallace47, you manage to get your slug sorted out? I saw last night you were having problems. Apr 15 13:28:51 Yeah, he did :) Apr 15 13:30:14 yeah i did lunar... used the secomm method. Tried it last night but didnt noticed the orange light darkening indicating upgrade mode. sorted it in 2 mins this morn Apr 15 13:30:31 :-0 Apr 15 13:30:33 :-) Apr 15 13:40:29 and ive unslung and installed twonky for my mp101... im getting the hang of it... but no more messing by me :-P Apr 15 13:41:08 Hehe :-) Apr 15 13:41:29 Tbh, there are times when unslung is def more difficult to use than a normal linux box. Apr 15 13:42:31 i know very little about linux to be honest.. was looking for a way to share my media without the need for pc and the nslu2 was recommended Apr 15 13:42:50 and it is perfect for my needs... now if only id chosen a hd that spun down lol Apr 15 13:43:25 Well, constant spinning down/up would reduce the life of the hard drive :-) Apr 15 13:44:25 what sort of electric will it use tho.. i was planning on leaving both the nslu2 and hd on.. or is it better just to switch on when needed? Apr 15 13:45:44 I'd leave them on constantly. Apr 15 13:45:49 I don't think they draw much power really. Apr 15 13:48:00 yeah the whole point is to have access at the touch of a button... much less impressive "wait 5 mins till i boot it up" I think ill leave em on :-) Apr 15 13:51:09 well guys im gonna catch some rays while my library is transferred :-) Thanks again for saving my ass caplink and reedy (and kinda mwester who got a lil bit sick of me lol) Apr 15 13:55:57 The NSLU2's use around 30W of elec dont they Lunar_Lamp ? Apr 15 13:56:16 Reedy_Boy, I honestly can't say as I don't remember. Apr 15 13:56:24 Try checking out the power-brick label. Apr 15 13:56:30 That should say shouldn't it? Apr 15 13:56:37 it should, but it doesnt i think Apr 15 13:56:37 30W sounds a lot though. Apr 15 13:57:00 my old adapter has a sticker saying 10W output Apr 15 13:57:04 but im sure its more than that Apr 15 13:57:07 i may be wrong Apr 15 13:57:26 it was in the wiki Apr 15 13:57:27 hmm Apr 15 13:58:36 mine hasnt got a power brick goes straight into a plug Apr 15 13:58:51 yeah Apr 15 13:58:51 Does it? Apr 15 13:58:57 lol, sorry, my bad. Apr 15 13:58:59 The UK ones do Apr 15 13:59:20 I've spend so much time messing around with plugs and things the last couple of weeks, that I've got in a muddle. Apr 15 13:59:23 the uk ones go straight in? Apr 15 13:59:39 First I did some measurements. My power supply (which is not the standard one) gives 5.3 V. When the slug boots without anything connected it takes 400 mA. With the ethernet connected (but still nothing on USB) the current is about 480 mA. Apr 15 13:59:43 P = VI Apr 15 13:59:52 480 mA = .48A Apr 15 14:00:09 so about 2.5w? Apr 15 14:00:15 That seems more like it. Apr 15 14:00:24 errrm Apr 15 14:00:27 Sounds like it Apr 15 14:01:21 the hard drive will draw the most wont it physically spinning constantly? Apr 15 14:01:24 your right, 30W does sounds a lot Apr 15 14:01:34 It will probably spin at a reduced rate Apr 15 14:01:35 wallace47, depends. Apr 15 14:01:53 Does it have a separate power supply, or does it run off the usb power? Apr 15 14:02:20 my hard drive run of its own power at output 12v-2a Apr 15 14:02:54 Yeah, ok, so that takes a lot more power, but I don't think it will have a significant impact upon electricity bills. Apr 15 14:03:25 tony blair would not approve lol all those trees! Apr 15 14:03:26 Ive got a power meter Apr 15 14:03:28 let me check Apr 15 14:04:52 this is on my unslung 6.8 NSLU2 with the old style uk psu Apr 15 14:05:14 its drawing 1amp Apr 15 14:06:00 thats not much then... and 2amps ish for the hard drive Apr 15 14:06:04 sorry Apr 15 14:06:09 it was drawing 1 amp Apr 15 14:06:23 4Amps Apr 15 14:06:24 7.3W Apr 15 14:06:39 thats in booted up state, with a 512mb memory stick on it Apr 15 14:06:52 its pulling nearly 250V Apr 15 14:07:10 Lunar_Lamp, 7.3W Apr 15 14:08:23 438 watt hours, so every 2 hours, still less than 1 unit of elecc Apr 15 14:08:34 that still sounds high Apr 15 14:10:02 and thats without the hard drive reedy? Apr 15 14:10:09 yup Apr 15 14:10:24 Put it one way Apr 15 14:10:27 seems high to be left on if i only use it now and again? Apr 15 14:10:33 it should be cheaper than running a light bulb Apr 15 14:10:48 lol... really? Apr 15 14:10:51 yup Apr 15 14:10:56 60W light bulbs Apr 15 14:11:14 and stuff Apr 15 14:11:21 i didnt realise we were talking so little :-) Apr 15 14:11:27 yeah Apr 15 14:11:31 think, your kettle may be 1Kw Apr 15 14:11:52 microwave, 800W Apr 15 14:12:16 well ill leave them on then for the sake of pennies.. not arsed about all those trees.. i love global warming! Apr 15 14:12:23 lol Apr 15 14:12:28 well, they are very efficient Apr 15 14:12:43 the power usage is very low Apr 15 18:21:18 hello from France Apr 15 18:27:48 hi,ihave NSLU2 with Version 2.3R29-uNSLUng-5.5-beta but forgot root password i'm trying to connect via Telnet with admin and the right password but telnet answer me "connection closed by foreign host" after i type admin and his password (that's the right password because i can connect to NSLU2 thrue Webserver administration) something an idee ? Apr 15 18:28:27 do you have linux on some other machine? Apr 15 18:28:46 or you could download knoppix cd/dvd-image and boot your computer with it Apr 15 18:28:47 yes of course i'm on a linux machine now Apr 15 18:29:05 then just mount the hdd and change the passwd file contents Apr 15 18:29:41 hmm..yes good idee i 'm trying this ;-) Apr 15 18:44:46 hi Apr 15 18:54:30 can someone tell me why gcc is not included with the package unslung-devel? Apr 15 20:28:25 for drif:To change the root password changing in /etc/passwd is not enough i must cp /etc/passwd /share/hdd/conf/passwd i think Apr 15 20:30:14 to hastur34: /etc/passwd -> /share/hdd/conf/passwd (I've got it symlinked) Apr 15 20:31:44 to drif : Ok ! i do it too thank Apr 15 20:39:21 hastur34: you can't login via telnet using the "admin" account; you must login as "root" instead Apr 15 20:48:02 mwester: Do you know how to handle ipkg versions? Apr 15 20:48:28 to mwester: Ok ! Apr 16 01:18:22 hey guys - since wiki is not up-to-date, can someone tell me what ipkg / insmod I have to do to get NFS mounting (client) working? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Apr 16 02:59:57 2007
