**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Apr 17 02:59:56 2007 Apr 17 05:59:15 anyone there - running debian LE? Can someone run a test for me? Apr 17 05:59:27 type (as root) "swapoff /dev/sda2; apt-get install memtester" then "free", then do "memtest 32M 1". assuming /dev/sda2 is your swap partition. Apr 17 14:57:56 ~botsnack Apr 17 14:57:57 aw, gee, fendor Apr 17 19:02:21 hi- i have a set of files on my nslu2-connected usb drive that i'm not able to access (it's reporting permissions errors) no matter what user / group i'm logged in as Apr 17 19:05:57 basically i have 2 directories in the root of the drive. one directory was copied through the nslu2 device, and the other directory was copied over while the drive was connected directly to the computer (because the nslu2 kept choking on the larger files) Apr 17 19:06:38 now the directory that was copied through the nslu2 is accessble, but the other isn't-- could anyone point me in the right direction? Apr 17 19:13:11 Hmm, sounds like you have permissions problems bun-bun. Apr 17 19:13:18 sudo chown ? Apr 17 19:13:19 What is the output of "ls -l" of the two directories? Apr 17 19:13:28 You will almost certain... Apr 17 19:13:28 Lunar_Lamp: yes Apr 17 19:13:34 fraco: i've tried that, it won't let me Apr 17 19:13:35 what fraco said :-) Apr 17 19:13:46 root.root as owner/group Apr 17 19:13:49 bun-bun, root should be able to edit the permissons :-/ Apr 17 19:13:57 Ok, if it's root, then root can change it. Apr 17 19:14:00 Lunar_Lamp: yeah i know.. that's why i'm so confused Apr 17 19:14:15 bun-bun did you run the sudo chown on the slug or on your pc? Apr 17 19:14:17 What happens when you su to root and change the groups etc? Apr 17 19:14:20 run it on the slug Apr 17 19:14:30 excuse Apr 17 19:14:36 i'm running stock firmware on the slug Apr 17 19:14:40 6.8? Apr 17 19:14:48 whatever the latest is Apr 17 19:15:26 i'm wondering if i change the firmware so that i could telnet in and work on the drive locally , would it make a difference Apr 17 19:16:25 Sorry, you have to run the chmod command on the slug. Apr 17 19:16:40 I'm slightly confused as to what you'redoing :-/ Apr 17 19:17:06 bun-bun you can only change those permissions with sudo on the slug itself / by connecting the drive directly Apr 17 19:22:09 what does this mean? "The requested URL '%.80s' resolves to a file that is not world-readable." Apr 17 19:47:38 It means you're trying to find a file called "%.80s" which you don't have permission to read. Apr 17 20:09:00 bun-bun, as you're using a stock firmware without the possibility to use telnet, you should connect the external hdd to a linux pc (try knoppix or something equal) and then change the filepermissions to a value which is equal to the values which you see, when you do a ls -la on the directory with the working permissions Apr 18 00:54:49 is there anyone here who already used rtlinux on his slug ? Apr 18 01:06:23 rtlinux? Apr 18 01:09:13 rtlinux Apr 18 01:09:44 as in Real Time Linux **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Apr 18 02:59:56 2007
