**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 12 02:59:57 2007 Aug 12 03:23:47 I've unslung to a USB drive. How can I reunslung to a USB stick? I decided I just want to set my slug up solely as a print server. Aug 12 03:26:52 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/RootOnAUSBFlash Aug 12 03:26:57 just remove the hard drive Aug 12 03:27:04 follow those instructions Aug 12 03:28:02 whenever you boot the nslu2 without the disk you unslinged to, the nslu2 is back to the state it was before you unslinged the first time Aug 12 03:28:12 ah, ok Aug 12 03:28:28 So, it won't hurt the slug without the hard disk attached Aug 12 03:28:42 just don't do any ipkg installs Aug 12 03:28:52 until you have it unslinged to the flash disk Aug 12 03:28:54 regardless of what version I unslung with before? (It's been a couple years since I did it) Aug 12 03:29:09 you'll be okay Aug 12 03:29:15 just follow the instructions for that version Aug 12 03:29:39 however Aug 12 03:29:49 this might be a good time to consider an upgrade? Aug 12 03:30:04 yeah, I want o upgrade, what other considerations are there? Aug 12 03:30:39 do you plan on using the drive you have now for something else? Aug 12 03:31:16 The drive I was using is sitting unused, I think it's gone bad, so I will probably not use it Aug 12 03:31:54 I would just get sercomm and update the firmware to 6.8 Aug 12 03:32:06 then follow the instructions at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/RootOnAUSBFlash to unsling to a flash drive Aug 12 03:32:16 then you can install CUPS to get the printing working Aug 12 03:32:46 not familiar with sercomm, what is it? Aug 12 03:33:06 its an upgrade utility Aug 12 03:33:12 that you can use to flash firmware on the nslu2 Aug 12 03:33:37 ah, I presume that's the easiest method? Aug 12 03:33:42 I say use it because I'm not sure if the linksys web control upgrade utility works or not with unslung Aug 12 03:33:48 I find it extremely easy Aug 12 03:33:53 its just a little app Aug 12 03:34:00 you run it on your PC Aug 12 03:34:09 ok, does that mean I'll need to plug the old drive back in? Aug 12 03:34:13 select the NIC for your connection Aug 12 03:34:18 no Aug 12 03:34:23 take the nslu2 Aug 12 03:34:26 turn it off Aug 12 03:34:31 hold the reset button Aug 12 03:34:33 turn it on Aug 12 03:34:43 release the reset button once the status light goes red Aug 12 03:34:47 it will then start flashing red Aug 12 03:36:47 that's what they call the "Red Boot" ? Aug 12 03:36:54 no Aug 12 03:36:56 this is upgrade mode Aug 12 03:37:13 http://www.slug-firmware.net/u-click.php?p=download%2Funslung&f=Unslung-6.8-beta-firmware.zip&l=u-license.txt&k=c0bc854ac75a11158fda654eea823b9a Aug 12 03:37:15 go to that page Aug 12 03:37:22 go to the bottom, say I accept and submit Aug 12 03:37:26 that is the most recent unslung version Aug 12 03:37:44 you need to dl that and unzip Aug 12 03:38:08 then you need to dl sercomm Aug 12 03:38:08 http://www.everbesthk.com/8-download/sercomm/firmware/NU54/Upgrade_207_XP.zip Aug 12 03:39:13 once you have those two downloaded, and the nslu2 in upgrade mode Aug 12 03:39:15 k, got em Aug 12 03:39:21 install sercomm Aug 12 03:39:23 run it Aug 12 03:39:31 select the correct NIC card Aug 12 03:39:35 click browse Aug 12 03:39:37 find the nslu2 Aug 12 03:39:40 click files Aug 12 03:39:53 browse and find the BIN for unslung you just downloaded Aug 12 03:39:59 click upgrade Aug 12 03:40:05 should take around 5 minutes to upgrade Aug 12 03:40:12 the nslu2 will reboot when its done Aug 12 03:41:01 ok, cool Aug 12 03:41:17 I do this with the flash drive in port 2, correct? Aug 12 03:41:23 no Aug 12 03:41:30 I don't think it matters Aug 12 03:41:34 oh, ok Aug 12 03:41:35 but I would leave nothing connected Aug 12 03:41:56 alright, so I would plug it in when the slug reboots, right? Aug 12 03:42:21 after it reboots Aug 12 03:42:29 you can begin to follow the instruction at that link Aug 12 03:42:34 that's what I meant ;) Aug 12 03:42:37 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/RootOnAUSBFlash Aug 12 03:44:35 And that links is explaining how to format the drive, right? Aug 12 03:44:44 I can't help you there Aug 12 03:44:47 I've never done it Aug 12 03:45:00 Ah, I just find the information on the page somewhat confusing Aug 12 03:45:16 just try it out, if you mess up Aug 12 03:45:23 just reformat it Aug 12 03:45:32 from what I gather, it's explaining that the drive needs formatted, either manually or automatically Aug 12 03:45:34 and start over Aug 12 03:47:07 so if the drive eventually dies, the slug should be fine, but I'd have to create a new drive, or have a spare copied drive I'm guessing? Aug 12 03:47:47 yea Aug 12 03:48:01 when I first unslung the nslu2 a couple years ago, there was a lot more ways to brick the device, looks to be more stable now Aug 12 03:48:16 the only way you can really brick the slug Aug 12 03:48:22 is to screw around with redboot Aug 12 03:49:41 ah Aug 12 03:50:11 have you used cups for print serving at all? Aug 12 03:50:56 my slug doesn't detect any drives now that I've installed debian.. bah Aug 12 03:51:05 and I dont have a linux server handy over here to reflash Aug 12 03:51:13 ssh works though Aug 12 04:07:50 welp I can't get any drives to recognize after my flash Aug 12 04:07:53 I feel helpless Aug 12 04:31:54 no drives? but the one with the root filesystem is working, right? Aug 12 04:34:13 hey Aug 12 04:34:37 yeah I can ssh in and see a root file system.. just can't see any connected drives.. as well as the hd light on the slug is off Aug 12 04:34:50 I've followed lots of directions on the site but nothing has helped yet Aug 12 04:35:08 what does mount show? Aug 12 04:35:14 I have a feeling it would be best to flash to original linksys bios.. although I dont have a linux computer here Aug 12 04:35:34 it won't automatically mount whatever you plug in Aug 12 04:35:36 in the mount directory theres nothing and when I type df it shows /dev /dev/ /.dev Aug 12 04:35:43 thats right Aug 12 04:36:10 mount directory? I mean, when you type mount Aug 12 04:36:31 none on /proc type proc (rw) Aug 12 04:36:31 tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw) Aug 12 04:36:31 sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) Aug 12 04:36:31 tmpfs on /dev type tmpfs (rw) Aug 12 04:36:31 none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw) Aug 12 04:36:31 tmpfs on /.dev type tmpfs (rw) Aug 12 04:37:14 so root isn't there Aug 12 04:37:59 plug in the drive and type dmesg Aug 12 04:38:06 Hideki can you meet me on a new channel? say solarbabycrashed Aug 12 04:38:12 ok Aug 12 04:38:17 meet you on the next channel ok? Aug 12 04:38:42 I'm in #solarbabycrashed Aug 12 06:23:38 Im having a bit of trouble unslinging Aug 12 07:11:04 need some help.. Aug 12 07:15:23 describe your problem 1st;) maybe someon help you Aug 12 07:15:59 glad too.. Aug 12 07:16:54 I formated my usb drive with the web interface (im using unslung) and it said it formated and that it was complete.. then I telnet in and the drive isn't mounted so then I mount it.. and then I type unsling disk1 and it tells me that the drive hasn't been formated with the linksys formating utility Aug 12 07:18:22 i don't know what 'unsling' command should do ;) i'm using debian so can't help Aug 12 07:18:26 sorry Aug 12 07:18:55 understandable.. its supposed to take whatever is on the rom disk and put it onto the hard drive Aug 12 07:28:43 DrJ are you around? Aug 12 07:28:48 yes Aug 12 07:28:59 Good deal, can you give me some help bro? Aug 12 07:29:07 possibly Aug 12 07:29:17 but I know nothing about debian Aug 12 07:29:20 mind going to channel @solarbabycrashed Aug 12 07:29:26 its unslung Aug 12 07:29:30 k Aug 12 10:43:41 hmm Aug 12 10:45:38 where can one go to see about bluetooth issues with a2dpd? Aug 12 11:42:18 where can one go to see about bluetooth issues with a2dpd? Aug 12 13:59:24 upslug2 -i /home/digii/Desktop/Unslung-6.8-beta.bin should not this be fine to get unslung firmware on the slug after an screwd up installation of debian? Aug 12 14:45:39 upslug2 -i /home/digii/Desktop/Unslung-6.8-beta.bin should not this be fine to get unslung firmware on the slug after an screwd up installation of debian? Aug 12 14:56:23 digii: why don't you describe your problem, and perhaps someone can help. Aug 12 15:04:11 eth0: Operation not permitted: error using device [N12NSLU2Upgrade9WireErrorE] Aug 12 15:04:27 its in upgrade mode and connected directly to my pc Aug 12 15:10:58 Are you running as root? Aug 12 15:11:46 yea, did the same thing when i was trying putting debian in Aug 12 15:12:50 Is there no additional information? Check dmesg, or /var/log/messages -- there should be an error code of sorts Aug 12 15:17:41 hmm Aug 12 15:17:51 Aug 12 17:16:01 Fjupp kernel: [345620.068000] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready Aug 12 15:20:35 thats all there is in log about that Aug 12 15:24:18 I'm setting up a watch directory for rTorrent. Because this gets read every minute or whatever my first thought was to put this on my flash drive since the HD does spinning down on it's own and I don't want to spin up unnecessarily. Then it struck me, I could put this in the built in flash. Torrent files are only a few kb which means that I won't run out of memory. Would this be a good a good idea and if it would Aug 12 15:26:41 <|Lunar_Lamp|> Hmm, I don't know how much space there is to play with, but, I don't see any major problems with the idea, in theory, if there is enough space. Aug 12 15:26:48 <|Lunar_Lamp|> You would probably want to monitor the space though. Aug 12 15:27:19 digii: your network connection is not working. Cable? Aug 12 15:27:42 Torrent files are usually around 10kb. I have 5mb free memory so space won't be a problem. What device should I mount? Aug 12 15:27:52 johlin: Avoid the internal flash: that's for recovery purposes on all but Debian firmwares. Aug 12 15:28:20 oh I see. I am using Debian though. What are my other options? Aug 12 15:28:48 It uses a JFFS2 filesystem, which has an interesting quirk, in that in order to delete a file, it must have at least one free flash block available -- thus it is common when filling up the flash to get the flash too full to delete anything. Aug 12 15:28:59 In that case, the only solution is to reflash the device. Aug 12 15:29:18 Use a USB flash device instead. Aug 12 15:29:28 then it's clearly not worth it. What about a ramdisk then? Aug 12 15:30:20 You can get the 128MB units free as handouts at Trade Shows, or a pack of 3 256MB units for 10USD. :) Ramdisks are ok, but they come out of a very precious resource on a slug - the very limited main memory. Aug 12 15:31:37 I already have a flash device as /. They have limited lifespan though if you write to them a lot. Would there be a problem with creating a 0.5mb ramdisk (I have 5mb free)? Maybe the flash drive is the best option after all. Aug 12 15:36:23 Not using a flash device because of limited lifetime is like not driving your automobile because the tires have limited lifetime. Aug 12 15:37:47 While that's true, if I can avoid using the flash drive without sacrifice then I see no reason not to. Anyway, I'll use the flash for now and time will tell if I'm keeping it that way or not. Aug 12 15:37:50 The lifetime is very long -- years -- under any normal (non-swapping) use, and if the device is large enough, load-levelling will further increase lifetime by decreasing the rw cycles on any individual flash location. Aug 12 15:38:56 Not to mention that new tires cost many hundreds of dollars, while a new 1GByte flash drive can be purchased at the local supermarket here for $30 --- and less online. Aug 12 15:41:14 Sure they are cheap. Just gotta backup the flash drive every now and then. Aug 12 16:38:22 mwester, how come the jffs2 driver does not ensure one block is always free ?-) Aug 12 16:38:58 Dunno - good question for the jffs2 folks. Aug 12 16:40:16 maybe in jffs3 ;-) Aug 12 18:27:09 digii@Fjupp:~$ upslug2 -i /home/digii/Desktop/Unslung-6.8-beta.bin Aug 12 18:27:09 eth0: Operation not permitted: error using device [N12NSLU2Upgrade9WireErrorE] Aug 12 18:27:48 why do i always get this when im trying to upslug it? its direct connected to my comp Aug 12 18:28:04 and its in upgrade mode Aug 12 18:33:46 I have some trouble getting vsftpd to work... if connecting from the LAN it works well, but if connecting from outside the LAN I allways get a timeout when listing the content (both PORT and PASSV mode) Aug 12 18:34:00 anyone have a clue what it might be? Aug 12 18:35:25 the firewall settings are ok, worked fine when running the ftp server on a windows machine before (but not when I got a slug I can't do that anymore :) ) Aug 12 18:35:37 someone remind me Aug 12 18:35:42 to use dir instead of ls Aug 12 18:35:45 what is the export? Aug 12 18:36:05 * Reedy_Boy listens intently Aug 12 18:37:53 DrJ_: Its the automatic listing done by the client that fails... don't think I can change that Aug 12 18:38:06 .? Aug 12 18:38:09 or did I misunderstand Aug 12 18:38:18 I think you misunderstood Aug 12 18:38:21 hehe Aug 12 18:38:28 I did it on one slug a long time ago Aug 12 18:38:37 I just want to use dir (which I'm use to) instead of ls Aug 12 18:38:43 basically, an alias Aug 12 18:39:26 hmm, ok... how do I set up an alias for vsftpd? Aug 12 18:39:48 deever, alias ls 'ls' Aug 12 18:40:03 alias dir 'ls' Aug 12 18:40:04 I think Aug 12 18:40:23 sorry deever! Aug 12 18:40:28 DrJ_, alias dir 'ls' Aug 12 18:41:11 ok, but where to put it so vsftpd uses it? Aug 12 18:48:39 ? Aug 12 18:49:04 I'm trying to connect using cuteFTP. Aug 12 18:49:12 COMMAND:> PORT 192,168,0,178,10,100 Aug 12 18:49:13 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.

Aug 12 18:55:18 Sorry Aug 12 18:55:27 I'd presume as long as its there for the OS Aug 12 18:55:30 it should work fine Aug 12 18:56:55 Not sure I'm following u... Aug 12 18:57:20 If the commands setup, and anything on the device can run it Aug 12 18:57:51 What exactly are you trying to do? Aug 12 18:57:59 As im getting confused between you and digii_ Aug 12 18:58:04 DrJ_, Aug 12 18:58:05 even Aug 12 18:58:12 Sorry for pinging the wrong person Aug 12 19:00:28 just trying to connect from my windows machine... it works if connecting to the IP, but if trying to connect to the host address (host.mydomain.com) the client receive a timeout when trying to list the content Aug 12 19:02:01 Does host.mydomain point back at your external ip? Aug 12 19:02:16 yepp Aug 12 19:02:33 What router have you got? Aug 12 19:03:00 if changing the internal IP on the firewall so it points to my old ftp server it works fine Aug 12 19:03:15 Oh.. Aug 12 19:03:25 So its not that your firewall doesnt support nat loopback Aug 12 19:03:32 as if it didnt, it wouldnt work on the old server Aug 12 19:03:50 correct Aug 12 19:04:04 so I'm a bit confused :) Aug 12 19:04:09 Yeah Aug 12 19:04:17 Has anyone else tried connecting externally for you? Aug 12 19:04:22 Just to see its not something related to that Aug 12 19:04:24 nope Aug 12 19:04:39 maybe I should go make a call =) Aug 12 19:05:00 Yeah, maybe just worth checking that first Aug 12 19:05:35 yepp, brb... calling.. :) Aug 12 19:15:43 Ok, tried that too - same problem Aug 12 19:19:50 So its not necesserily the NSLU2/FTP server Aug 12 19:19:57 MystiQu, do you define a passive port range in the vsftpd config? Aug 12 19:21:04 and are these ports open and redirected to the nslu on your router? Aug 12 19:22:43 caplink811-log: hmm, no - didn't know u could do that Aug 12 19:23:05 checking the man page .) Aug 12 19:24:20 pasv_max_port & pasv_min_port Aug 12 19:25:24 but shouldn't port 21 be enough? Aug 12 19:25:52 and passv_enable, never trust the default if you don't compiled by yourself ;) Aug 12 19:25:56 or do I have to set pasv_max_port and pasv_min_port in vsftpd.conf to 21 as well Aug 12 19:26:07 hehe, good advice :) Aug 12 19:26:48 no, try something like 30001-30010 Aug 12 19:27:17 and open and forward this range on your router to the nslu Aug 12 19:27:46 alright, I'm on it =) Aug 12 19:29:08 digii_: Do you have a link light on both the NSLU2 and on the computer -- you may need to use a cross-over cable. It's usually easier to connect the NSLU2 to the router via cable, and the computer to the router via cable -- that way you know the link is good, and no special cross-over cable is required. Aug 12 19:37:25 caplink811-log: "500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: passv_enable" Aug 12 19:39:16 sorry, only one s pasv_enable Aug 12 19:41:39 oh :) Aug 12 19:42:55 "500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: pasv_enable" Aug 12 19:43:18 hmmm, why doesn't that work... Aug 12 19:50:20 MystiQu, you try pasv_enable=yes ? Aug 12 19:51:46 caplink811-log: yepp Aug 12 19:52:31 I've had some trouble with other variables as well that's listed in the vsftpd.conf man page... Aug 12 19:53:34 userlist_deny and userlist_enable are some others that doesn't get accepted by vsftpd Aug 12 19:56:18 these parameters pasv_enable, pasv_min_port and pasv_max_port works with my vsftpd without any error message Aug 12 19:56:30 2.0.3-r3 Aug 12 19:56:33 oops Aug 12 19:56:48 but thats my vsftpd version Aug 12 19:58:00 [root@linus etc]$ ipkg list_installed|grep vsftp Aug 12 19:58:01 vsftpd - 2.0.1-6 - Aug 12 19:58:15 unslung or debian? Aug 12 19:58:52 openslug Aug 12 19:59:01 neither of the pasv* variables are accepted :/ Aug 12 20:11:40 MystiQu, you could try this http://jrbnet.de/joomla/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,45/func,fileinfo/id,12/ executable, this is an armeb version from vsftpd 2.0.5 which i made with ssl support enabled... may be that there are some problems with log pathes, but it should work on openslug too. as far as i know, there are no special makefile directives to enable pasv support.. Aug 12 20:14:36 sure, will try it immediately Aug 12 20:15:23 sorry, assuming that there are problems with library pathes too Aug 12 20:20:41 yeah... vsftpd doesn't die or give me any errors, but I can't connect Aug 12 20:37:44 btw, I get the same error with your binary... "500 OOPS: unrecognised variable in config file: pasv_enable" Aug 12 20:38:24 interesting, this executable works without problems... Aug 12 20:39:31 strange.. maybe I should try and re-install vsftpd... Aug 12 20:39:54 Hello, can anyone here help me with a root pwd question? Aug 12 20:40:07 ~ask Aug 12 20:40:08 somebody said ask was Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise, and on-topic. Don't ask if you can ask a question first. Don't ask if a person is there, just ask what you intended to ask them. Better questions more frequently yield better answers. We are all here voluntarily or against our will. Aug 12 20:41:39 I have just unsluge my nslu2 and added a new \ssword. Everything works fine when i start the nslu2 with the flashdrive inn usb2. Aug 12 20:41:47 new root password. Aug 12 20:42:17 But if i connect a harddrive to usb1 and start it up i cant connect through telnet Aug 12 20:42:35 this hd on port 1 is formatted by the nslu? Aug 12 20:42:42 yep Aug 12 20:43:15 hm, assuming that you didn't read the unslung-6.8 readme... Aug 12 20:43:19 it seems that "admin/admin" works. but then it just quits telnet Aug 12 20:43:22 i did? Aug 12 20:43:33 about ten times Aug 12 20:43:41 did i miss something? Aug 12 20:45:31 Ice-Raven: So, you unslung to a flash drive formatted with the NSLU2. THEN, you added a SECOND drive also formatted by the NSLU2... Aug 12 20:46:01 yepp, the part about the behavior with 2 native formatted drives, stay tuned, myself search the links in the wiki Aug 12 20:46:26 Thats the case.. Aug 12 20:46:29 Is that wrong? Aug 12 20:46:40 :) Hint: The link to the pertinent page is in BOLD on the main Unslung page... Aug 12 20:46:47 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/R63DiskBehaviour and http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/WhichUSBPortforUnslung6 are interesting Aug 12 20:47:49 The second link above, section on "Exception to Rule #1" applies here. Aug 12 20:48:20 thx for you assistance Aug 12 20:48:23 I am proud to say with the help of our members DrJ and Hikeki I've officially Unslung Aug 12 20:48:24 s/you/your Aug 12 20:48:56 actually that was Hideki Aug 12 20:49:03 Congrats Solarbaby Aug 12 20:49:12 :) Aug 12 20:49:18 paypal@jwjkp.com Aug 12 20:49:20 ~emulate rwhitby Aug 12 20:49:20 just another satisfied customer Aug 12 20:49:27 Thanks!! Im in the process of adding ipkg installs.. any recommendations amongst you? Aug 12 20:49:32 ah.. Aug 12 20:49:39 DrJ, I believe that will be coming Aug 12 20:49:39 thnx for now:D alot to read. Aug 12 20:49:55 np Aug 12 20:49:58 I just have to buy a big hard drive first ;) Aug 12 20:50:21 Solarbaby: Don't forget that you should update the wiki pages with the info you obtained from DrJ and Hideki, so that others have an easier time of it. Aug 12 20:50:42 Solarbaby: The first ipkg install should always be openssh Aug 12 20:50:53 The Wikki helped screw me up quite a few times.. its not very up to date Aug 12 20:51:04 so i just have to format the external hd to ntfs and everything is ok? Aug 12 20:51:10 After that - coreutils and procps (check spelling on the ipkg search page on the wiki) Aug 12 20:51:37 Ice-Raven: Alas, it would be nice if that were the case. But the Linksys NTFS driver is buggy, and crashes the NLSU2 often. Aug 12 20:51:50 (not just on Linksys firmware, but also Unslung) Aug 12 20:51:51 Coreutils eh? Aug 12 20:51:58 I started with Bash Aug 12 20:52:16 That's also one of the first I select, after openssh. Aug 12 20:52:35 Oh god im looking forward to screen Aug 12 20:52:41 Ive really missed it Aug 12 20:52:58 and mirc was just about to expire so bitchx!! Aug 12 20:53:12 Ice-Raven: Why not just unsling to the flash drive in USB 1, and then use the HDD the way it is in USB 2? Aug 12 20:53:32 Solarbaby: Don't forget openssh (did I already mention that?) Aug 12 20:53:44 Yup.. I'll be sure to grab that soon Aug 12 20:53:50 just working my way down the alphabet Aug 12 20:54:04 is there a easy way to do that?:p Aug 12 20:54:47 Solarbaby: :-D Oh don't do it in alphabetical order. The packages that may screw up your slug such that ssh is the only solution might come BEFORE you get to openssh... Aug 12 20:55:09 Gotchya.. Thanks I'll openssh next Aug 12 20:55:19 Ice-Raven: Like the wiki says: "If this occurs you will need to reflash the slug and unsling to the appropriate disc" -- meaning the flash drive plugged into USB 1 Aug 12 20:55:36 No big deal, usually -- unless you spent a lot of time setting it up already. Aug 12 20:55:56 just to get it working in the first place was an extreme ordeal Aug 12 20:56:06 Drj and Hideki were awesome and patient Aug 12 20:56:21 * DrJ_ is the best Aug 12 20:56:49 i havnt done anything to it yet.. Aug 12 20:57:41 I checked the logs for this channel; I didn't see the conversation, Solarbaby. That's the disadvantage of taking conversations elsewhere, if the dev team can't see the issues, they won't get fixed... :( Aug 12 20:58:08 Sorry.. I needed to give personal info out for them to log into my box as I am inexerpienced Aug 12 20:58:50 I've learned a great deal though.. I'll be hanging around the channel to spill what I've learned Aug 12 20:58:54 darn... I'm about to give up... tried re-install vsftpd but it didn't work Aug 12 20:59:17 Ice-Raven: Then just reflash (use the reset-button method, reformat the USB flash stick to FAT on another computer, plug it into the restarted NSLU2 in port 1, format with the Linksys format utility, and unsling again. :) Aug 12 21:00:47 ftp pasv and nat is a crappy setup, any possibility to use ssh instead? Aug 12 21:01:10 Ok I have a question.. when I update coreutils there are tons of different versions.. if i just typed in ipkg install coreutils does it pick the newest version? Aug 12 21:01:13 MystiQu: Can you document your issues with the vsftp package, and send to the nslu2 linux mailing list? That's the best way to have a developer take a look at the package to see if there's something wrong with how vsftp was built for SlugOS Aug 12 21:01:28 Solarbaby: It picks the most recent one that fits your system. Aug 12 21:01:34 mwester: use, I can do that! Aug 12 21:01:36 very good Aug 12 21:01:38 Thanks! Aug 12 21:01:41 sure, even Aug 12 21:02:28 MystiQu, just to bring it on a point, what is the reason that you want to use ftp for an external access to your nslu? Aug 12 21:02:30 I just have to ask(before i do something stupid), you mean: reflash with original firmware (through the web interface), format the flashdrive to fat (on my computer), install unslunge again and this time on usb1? Aug 12 21:02:55 which torrent program is highly recommended? Aug 12 21:03:56 Ice-Raven: Also from the wiki (the OTHER bolded link!), you cannot use the web interface for reflashing with Unslung, you must use the reset-button technique. No, you don't have to reflash the original firmware, just a fresh copy of the Unslung firmware (the one you flashed earlier was modified by the Unsling command to point to the USB flash drive in Port 2 -- we need to undo that) Aug 12 21:04:07 installing unslung on usb1 didn't work for me thats for sure Aug 12 21:04:48 Solarbaby: Wish I had the logs to see what was going on... at this point, there are no documented cases where the USB port made a difference for the unsling command itself. Aug 12 21:05:30 caplink811-log: Just so I can access my files (music, documents, work related stuff etc). But I guestt sftp would be ok too since it's alot more safe :) Aug 12 21:05:37 it did for me.. it always detected my drive as unformated.. I even had to mount it myself on port 1.. and in any case I could never force it to work.. but I put the same drive on port 2 and everything was easy going Aug 12 21:05:41 guess even Aug 12 21:06:08 the web interface saw my drive as formated and even formated it.. and it was good.. but the unsling command itself wouldn't work with my drive in port 1 Aug 12 21:06:17 MystiQu, yes, that is what i'd like to propose Aug 12 21:06:18 caplink811-log: and the possibility to add virtual users Aug 12 21:07:38 any recommendations on the best torrent program to use for unslung? Aug 12 21:07:52 and as a benefit, when you install openssh, you have one open port in your router, and you could access nearly all services on every machine in your network, using tunneling Aug 12 21:07:53 caplink811-log: is there any sftp package for openssh? Aug 12 21:08:04 it is included Aug 12 21:08:10 aah, smooth Aug 12 21:08:34 hm, sftp, dunno, assuming scp, sorry Aug 12 21:09:40 enhanced-ctorrent sounds nice Aug 12 21:10:56 k, myself wrote a howto this afternoon.. seems that sftp is ok with openssh Aug 12 21:15:41 oh wow a web frontend for ipkg I wonder if thats nice Aug 12 21:23:19 Solarbaby Aug 12 21:23:28 I created a much better ipkg frontend Aug 12 21:23:30 Yeah? Aug 12 21:23:35 its not finished, but it does more than that one does Aug 12 21:23:46 awesome.. I'll wait for yours Aug 12 21:23:51 installing samba right now :) Aug 12 21:24:01 you have to have a web server with php installed though to use it Aug 12 21:24:17 i installed lighthttpd Aug 12 21:24:26 that's what I'm running it on :) Aug 12 21:24:38 which torrent program should I grab? Aug 12 21:24:40 installed openssh-sftp and now it not only works... Aug 12 21:24:43 its safe too :) Aug 12 21:24:57 I love sftp Aug 12 21:24:58 nice :) Aug 12 21:25:38 a friend of mine bought a buffalo years ago.. I thought it was the shit until I found this Aug 12 21:25:43 http://76.1.30.137/ipkg/ <--a little preview of my ipkg frontend Solarbaby, you can't really do anythng though Aug 12 21:25:45 if you use a public/private key combination it is a little bit safer Aug 12 21:26:39 thats good looking Aug 12 21:26:52 one sec Aug 12 21:26:57 opening up installed.php Aug 12 21:27:13 DrJ_: nice looking frontend! =) Aug 12 21:29:19 Im not really getting any feedback on which bittorrent client to install here Aug 12 21:30:17 http://76.1.30.137/ipkg/installed.php <--I opened that part of it up Aug 12 21:30:21 can't open the rest Aug 12 21:30:28 because I don't want people installing or removing crap Aug 12 21:30:51 caplink811-log: isn't that the default behaviour? Aug 12 21:31:00 I had my old website in those colors :) Aug 12 21:31:03 guess I need to read the man file =) Aug 12 21:31:18 MystiQu, no, default is user / password challenge Aug 12 21:31:51 DrJ thanks for the peek of the software you like to use.. that should help me decide Aug 12 21:32:04 hehe Aug 12 21:32:05 np Aug 12 21:32:32 so your using X11 eh? does that work good through tunneling ? Aug 12 21:32:35 I have a config page for that and everything Aug 12 21:32:39 like on that installed page Aug 12 21:33:01 caplink811-log: Aaah, ok. Aug 12 21:33:01 if you want descriptions to show for everything (even ones that have them missing), change one setting and it will show them Aug 12 21:33:09 except that slows down the page loading time by a lot Aug 12 21:33:19 nod Aug 12 21:33:26 I can't wait until your done this is really nice Aug 12 21:33:34 Solarbaby, no x11, but tunneling some services through the ssh connection Aug 12 21:33:51 yeah.. I've done that before.. with putty and another program Aug 12 21:34:02 its good for messenger clients and small games Aug 12 21:34:51 thats like my setup, could connect to all webservers on the homenetwork, with only one open port on the router Aug 12 21:35:57 btw, there's a link at the bottom there Solarbaby, you can find out all about me if you so desired Aug 12 21:36:13 will do Aug 12 21:36:30 including pictures :) Aug 12 21:37:16 I used to use Proftp.. awesome interface on that program Aug 12 21:37:30 Im remembering software from years ago.. been a long time since I was running linux Aug 12 21:38:03 I see you have a combination of different torrent software.. Enhcanced and R torrent as well Aug 12 21:41:27 Solarbaby, if you are a fan of webinterfaces you could install enhanced ctorrent and the software which is mentioned in this thread (german/english) http://www.nslu2-info.de/showthread.php?t=4515 Aug 12 21:41:55 Thank You! yearh Web INterfaces go hand in hand with Torrents Aug 12 21:47:38 DrJ your an xbox fan too eh? Awesome Aug 12 21:49:29 mwester: created a new thread regarding the vsftpd issue on the nslu2 linux mailing list: http://www.nabble.com/vsftpd--2.0.3-r3-not-working-properly-on-openslug-3.10-tf4258208.html Aug 12 21:50:57 yes Aug 12 21:51:43 DrJ you look young Aug 12 21:51:56 nice ITT Tech recognition there Aug 12 21:52:58 yea, I know I look young Aug 12 21:52:58 Anyways im BIG TIME into XBMC I bought 2 xbox's for it.. and thats why I bought a NSlu2 Aug 12 21:53:12 really Aug 12 21:53:21 xbmc huh Aug 12 21:53:27 so not 360? Aug 12 21:53:30 yeah xbmc works with Xbox1 Aug 12 21:53:35 yea I know Aug 12 21:53:38 sorry.. they dont plan to support the 360 Aug 12 21:53:52 xbmc and I have a slight disagreement/fued with each other Aug 12 21:54:05 someone may end up porting it to the 360 in a long time from now.. but there are no plans Aug 12 21:54:20 Im not a devloper Im a end user.. and I love it Aug 12 21:55:19 the fact that it works with network neighborhood and hopefully samba, and also its scrapping capabilities for movie and tv show info is outstanding Aug 12 22:04:25 hm got a problem whit mu slug, first i had unslung installed but tried to install debian, but something went wrong and i restarted the slug, and after that, i cant find the slug anymore, the ip it had previuse the installation of debian wasent used anymore, and now i cant get to it Aug 12 22:04:38 then i installed unslung again and still nothing happens Aug 12 22:04:57 is there anyway to managee the ip so i can get to it again? Aug 12 22:05:13 can i use a crossover cable and somehow manage it that way Aug 12 22:05:13 ? Aug 12 22:06:44 maybe that it is on 192.168.1.77... Aug 12 22:07:18 When recover from a bad flash, do i take out the flashpen before i hold the resetbutton, start it and hold it for 10 sec? Aug 12 22:07:24 in the worst case, do a reset_sysconfig, then the nslu will be there Aug 12 22:07:40 Ice-Raven, yes Aug 12 22:07:42 k Aug 12 22:07:44 tnx Aug 12 22:07:48 np Aug 12 22:08:14 cap, when i ping it its not there atlease, but how do i do a reeset_sysconfig? Aug 12 22:08:48 1st, your workstation is at the 192.168.1.x network segment too? Aug 12 22:09:10 2nd, that is a howto Aug 12 22:09:11 no 192.168.0.x Aug 12 22:09:16 ~nslu-howto Aug 12 22:09:21 ~nslu2-howto Aug 12 22:09:21 have a look at the HowTo's at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/HomePage Aug 12 22:09:56 Is NTFS on the nslu so bad as everybody claims? Aug 12 22:10:08 Ice-Raven, assuming, yes Aug 12 22:10:57 digii__, change the ip adress of your workstation, or change the network mask to 255.255.0.0, which may work too Aug 12 22:13:58 ok Aug 12 22:14:45 only onee problem whit using reset_sys, i cant telnet to it if i cant find it =) Aug 12 22:15:39 you could, because redboot is everytime (after a reset) at 192.168.0.1 port 9000 Aug 12 22:16:16 but 192.168.0.1 is the router? Aug 12 22:17:20 then you change your setup, so that you use your workstation with an adress like 192.168.0.2 and a crossovercable to your nslu Aug 12 22:31:10 hm om :S ill try it :D Aug 12 22:38:14 Holy Crap samba works right out of the box.. things certainly have changed over the years!!!! Aug 12 23:36:06 I thought it would be easier to add a second user on Unslung but even though im using adduser and creating a password for the user it wont ever let me login to it Aug 12 23:36:11 always said I have the wrong passwd Aug 12 23:36:34 im sshing in.. maybe thats the problem.. hummm Aug 12 23:41:40 yeah currently I can only login with root.. thats not good Aug 12 23:50:30 each change that you done with addduser/useradd is gone after a reboot, there are some pages at the wiki which show you the right way Aug 12 23:50:46 Thanks cap **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 13 02:59:56 2007
