**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon May 14 02:59:57 2007 May 14 05:56:14 hi all.. im experiencing troubles with flashing my nslu .... she worked like a charm with openslug 2.7 but when upgrading to 3 or debian the latest stable version my nslu stays unreachable. i flashed server times with upslug and upslug2 succesfully but when i reboot i cant reach the cmdline on dhcp serverlogs no entry and not on 192.168.1.77 or 177 ... I tried also crosscable direct with my laptop but even that did not succeed ... what can i do more? so May 14 13:57:02 hello May 14 13:58:05 i'm looking for help with X11 and my slug May 14 13:58:16 can anyone help? May 14 13:59:24 jello May 14 13:59:29 hello May 14 13:59:51 i'm looking for help with x11 and my slug May 14 14:00:31 can anyone help? May 14 14:25:09 patient he was May 14 14:26:00 xkr47: he even waited 1 minute before asking the same question again ;-) May 14 14:26:22 * xkr47 is a new slug owner; I got it last friday May 14 14:26:44 I have unslung(ed) it and thinking of trying slugos now May 14 14:26:59 AOL, or, I have had it for a long time, but lost my psu and had to get a new one May 14 14:35:32 absent over leave? May 14 14:38:27 xkr47: well, my brother borrowed it to fix some ARM-bugs in Debian. May 14 14:38:46 :) May 14 14:42:44 iiit's flashing time! May 14 15:02:56 * joshin seals xkr47's trenchcoat closed May 14 15:03:48 what, you didn't like version 2.0 ?-D May 14 15:04:51 I'm sorry that when you flash you're only a 2.0... May 14 17:56:27 hi May 14 17:57:20 i'm a stupid man who forgot his root password ... May 14 17:57:37 is there a way to reset it ? May 14 17:58:30 i flashed my slug again with the DebianSlug 3.10 May 14 17:58:54 but it seams that has done nothing ... May 14 18:01:15 you can look in google how to recover the root password for Debian May 14 18:01:53 methhhp, if it was on a computer , i would have modified the /etc/shadow ... May 14 18:02:00 but as i cannot acces the datas May 14 18:02:13 and i cannot connecte to the slug by ssh ... May 14 18:02:19 -e May 14 18:02:38 dont have a normal user? May 14 18:03:31 methhhp, i just installed May 14 18:03:40 i don't think i have on May 14 18:03:41 +e May 14 18:04:15 upsss i dunno how can you recover it May 14 18:06:03 :p May 14 18:06:54 methhhp, what is the default password on the DebianSlug3.10 ? May 14 18:07:52 for the installer the password is install May 14 18:08:35 for root ? May 14 18:12:01 installer user May 14 18:13:01 i understood May 14 18:15:31 but it doesn't work May 14 18:34:48 maaks: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf May 14 18:35:14 Then reflash May 14 18:35:16 thank you very much ;) May 14 18:35:51 np May 14 18:37:17 what are you running on your slug ? May 14 18:38:59 Unslung 6.8, Unslung 6.9-alpha, SlugOS4.4-alpha, and I've forgotten what's on the fourth one (it's just for testing) May 14 18:53:38 What does 6.9 alpha add? What does slugos4.4alpha add? May 14 18:53:43 I just run debian on mine, heh. May 14 19:19:48 If you're running the full Debian ARM release, then you'll want to stick with that. May 14 19:20:43 Unslung 6.9 fixes a number of the known bugs and problems in 6.8, and adds a lot of stuff to help in early-boot problems (netconsole support, and suchlike) May 14 19:21:45 SlugOS 4.4 (next generation of OpenSlug and DebianSlug) upgrades the kernel, increases platform support (images build for the NAS100d and the DSMG600). May 14 19:22:41 No estimate for when SlugOS 4.4 might release, and Unslung 6.9 might *never* officially release :) May 14 19:36:10 :O May 14 19:38:20 Someone is surprised? hehe! May 14 21:02:02 if I want to try openslug but possibly switch back to unslung later, what files do I need to save so I can quickly get back to use my external usb drive after re-flashing the unslung? May 14 21:04:52 the files output by "find /initrd/ -newer /initrd/bin" perhaps ? May 14 21:05:14 (seems untouched files are dated 1970, including /initrd/bin) May 14 21:13:16 * xkr47 backed up everything :) May 14 21:13:26 (I wish) May 14 21:14:02 if you use a naked slug, then /etc /unslung and /usr/lib may be enough May 14 21:18:14 just tar up the entire root (obviouly not your user-data) May 14 21:18:21 in a tar.gz shouldn't be more then 90meg May 14 21:18:31 then if you want to go back just re-flash and un-tar May 14 21:18:49 I tarred entire root but excluded /share/flash/data since it obviously was the same data all over again May 14 21:19:03 so I got the /initrd as well May 14 21:19:27 now I'm in openslug :) May 14 21:20:55 openslug was nice (more familiar linux layout) just lacked packages May 14 21:21:05 thats why I went deb May 14 21:21:19 well.. let's see :) May 14 21:21:54 flashing a new firmware is faster than changing underwear :) May 14 21:22:10 well stop wearing a suspender belt ;) May 14 21:30:13 how about the separate 128M conf partition that unslung created, is it needed in openslug ? May 14 21:38:28 who overclocked his slug ? May 14 21:38:41 there's a long list on yahoo May 14 21:49:42 maaks, do you mean "overclocked" or "deunderclocked"? May 14 21:49:48 I deunderclocked mine. May 14 21:50:21 what is the difference ? May 14 21:50:55 A lot of the older nslu2's came from the factory with the cpu throttled back to 133mhz. May 14 21:51:05 (the newer ones come factory set at 266) May 14 21:51:15 Snipping off a resistor would remove this clock restriction. May 14 21:51:26 However, I don't know if it's possible to overclock past this 266 limit. May 14 21:51:46 deunderclocking means going from the half-speed 133 to the standard 266 May 14 21:52:00 overclocking is then anything beyond 266 May 14 22:10:59 xkr47: you can swap out the crystal with a faster one May 14 22:11:10 How much faster is a darn good question... May 14 22:11:11 yep May 14 23:02:42 I deunderclocked both of mine - heck, the 2nd one I did before I even flashed the firmware... boot it up, check it works, open it up & fiddle. May 14 23:05:21 I used to be so good with a soldering iron... kinda fiddly inside the slug though... think my eyes are going! May 14 23:14:41 you think 0805 component's are fiddly May 14 23:14:44 try 0603 May 14 23:15:01 the small 0402 and 0201 just cant be done with a hand soldering iron mind **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue May 15 02:59:58 2007
