**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Aug 13 02:59:56 2007 Aug 13 03:24:24 I've installed nano and now in the directoy it is installed too.. when I type nano it sez no such file or directory Aug 13 03:27:13 are you logged in using ssh, or telnet? Aug 13 03:27:21 ssh Aug 13 03:27:25 sorry telnet Aug 13 03:27:28 both! Aug 13 03:27:43 damn it works with ssh!! Aug 13 03:27:45 haha Aug 13 03:27:47 thanks man Aug 13 03:28:17 wow it really does look like pine.. marvelous Aug 13 03:28:19 openssh sets your PATH automatically to look for programs in /opt/bin; with telnet you have to arrange for that yourself (or type "/opt/bin/nano" instead of "nano" Aug 13 03:28:29 ) Aug 13 03:28:57 I see what you mean.. yeah some programs just aren't working and now I know why Aug 13 03:29:14 I needed nano to complete my openssh installation.. keys and junk Aug 13 03:29:43 I'll probably be begging for help with that as soon as I find a way to destroy it Aug 13 03:54:42 No need to mess with keys and such if you just want to use ssh as a telnet replacement. Aug 13 03:55:07 yeah your probably right.. im just making trouble for myself Aug 13 03:55:14 I have only one slug out of the bunch that has the keys set up; it's too much hassle on the others -- I can type my password very fast ;) Aug 13 03:55:39 I think im gunna give up on the keys.. im having problems anyways Aug 13 03:56:00 what I do NEED to do is get alternat users other then Root working on this box Aug 13 03:57:04 add a user using the web gui. Aug 13 03:57:28 Then edit the /etc/passwd file with nano and set the home directory and login shell. Aug 13 03:57:37 that simple eh? jeez.. also in sshd_config do I want to uncomment PasswordAuthentication yes? Aug 13 03:57:51 Okwill do that.. Thanks Aug 13 03:57:57 (There's a reason there's no "adduser" commands in Unslung -- the Linksys firmware isn't compatible with those utilities!) Aug 13 03:58:15 ahh.. so I added it for nothing eh? Aug 13 03:58:20 jeez Aug 13 04:12:01 Ah its nice to log in as a normal average user again Aug 13 04:12:22 the linksys firmware isn't normal average linux :) Aug 13 04:12:36 yeah I know.. but it feels like it so far Aug 13 04:13:00 Ok.. I just loaded bitchx and the ansi/ascii looks a little strange.. anyone remember how to fix that? Aug 13 05:45:17 sorry about the logins and outs.. I should have setup BitchX with out the /ajoin on Aug 13 05:46:31 this looks so much nicer the Mirc Aug 13 05:49:52 BitchX is really nice :) Aug 13 05:50:18 Totally.. i was wondering is there any commands I need to set for safety? like to make sure it doesn't auto download or something? Aug 13 05:50:52 its been 6 years so im a little lost after so long Aug 13 05:50:57 dunno, long time since I used it (read "devoted linux user") =) Aug 13 05:51:07 hehe, for me too Aug 13 05:51:25 I also need to figure out how to make it look a little more attractive in screen Aug 13 05:51:37 as far as auto logins are involved all that stuff is setp now Aug 13 05:52:13 no good tutorial on the net? Aug 13 05:52:33 well, gotta go to work now... first day after the vacation Aug 13 05:52:33 currenly i created a little script called bx and it sitts in my home directory.. I seem to remember I used be able to type bx and it would load, but now I have to type ./bx for it to load.. is there a directory im supposed to copy it into? and rename the file? Aug 13 05:52:44 G'Luck! Aug 13 05:53:01 add "." in the PATH and your ok Aug 13 05:53:05 tnx :) Aug 13 05:53:13 Thanks you Aug 13 05:53:17 * MystiQu is going to work! Aug 13 05:53:19 heh Aug 13 07:17:53 according to the faq, hwclock hanging is "sometimes" caused by a dead RTC battery. is it a common occurrence for units to arrive with dead batteries? Aug 13 07:18:12 I say so because hwclock will not work with the one I bought today Aug 13 07:18:36 and I haven't replaced the battery yet (it would probably be hard to find a replacement on a sunday night) Aug 13 08:53:44 something like that happened to my hwclock, but I just removed the battery, left it out for a minute or so and put it back in Aug 13 08:53:53 after setting the time, everything was ok from that point on Aug 13 08:54:02 same old battery Aug 13 09:23:55 what is the standard pwd from slugos/be ? Aug 13 09:41:27 it is in the wiki, if you google "slugos password" you will be pointed there, opeNSLUg Aug 13 09:43:08 oh thx Aug 13 09:43:31 np Aug 13 09:44:01 on the slugos wikipage i cant find it Aug 13 09:44:24 but i remember a little bit this word Aug 13 09:45:34 the wiki is hard to use.. like most wikis.. lots of information though Aug 13 09:49:21 did you find http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/SlugOS/UsingTheBinary ? Aug 13 09:49:49 the section "After flashing" points you to the password Aug 13 09:51:14 hm .. ok Aug 13 09:51:47 there might be more info on that page that you'll be interested in Aug 13 09:52:21 yea, the 2. link from the bottom :) Aug 13 09:53:46 /media/ is for automount? Aug 13 09:53:47 there you go :) Aug 13 10:01:33 damn stuff :/ Aug 13 15:55:52 * xkr47 wonders if http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.5831 is supported in linux Aug 13 15:56:11 now i have slugos :) Aug 13 15:56:16 \o/ Aug 13 15:56:24 but there is no precompiled cups, i see Aug 13 15:57:02 had slugos/le cups? Aug 13 16:07:39 xkr47: You never know -- it looks exactly like one of mine, but the guts of these things may be different. For that kinda $$, try it... Aug 13 16:08:34 yeah.. Aug 13 16:46:59 hmm, anybody know how I can get my drives to be mapped to the same device after reboot?? Aug 13 16:47:34 The seem to get mapped in the order they are detected, so different /dev/ after reboot :/ Aug 13 16:48:17 if u are using debian u can mount them by id /dev/disk/by-id.... Aug 13 16:49:31 I use openslug Aug 13 16:50:02 as i know there is no /dev/disk in openslug ;) Aug 13 16:50:25 you are right Aug 13 16:50:41 yepp Aug 13 16:50:49 i don't know why ;) it's very useful Aug 13 16:50:51 hmm, just read I can map by LABEL Aug 13 16:52:37 With USB disks, it is necessary to just accept that the /dev/ nomenclature is non-specific. There is no good way to ensure that the devices on the USB ports all report in the same order at each power-up. Aug 13 16:52:51 how do I get the label for a specific device? didn't give my drives any labels when formatting them with mke2fs Aug 13 17:00:11 worked if mounting by LABEL in fstab Aug 13 17:00:13 =) Aug 13 17:16:59 hi all Aug 13 17:19:03 hi u Aug 13 17:23:18 I got hi'ed Aug 13 17:25:10 I'm about to get a nslu2 and I want to use it for a raid 1 NAS Aug 13 17:25:33 my question is more related to the type of hard drives I should use Aug 13 17:26:15 I would like to have USB powered drives, which, as far as I know, limit the choice to 2"5 drives Aug 13 17:26:47 and there is this problem of having to spin down the disks in order to make it last longer Aug 13 17:27:14 Does someone have any advice about a specific model i should have a look at ? Aug 13 17:27:19 sounds like you're about to make trouble for yourself Aug 13 17:27:47 Hideki: why ? Aug 13 17:27:54 raid and nslu2? Aug 13 17:28:16 what kind of raid? Aug 13 17:28:17 there is a howto on nslu2-linux about it Aug 13 17:28:22 mirror Aug 13 17:29:41 it might work, but I'd say buy some proper hardware Aug 13 17:30:35 Yes but proper hardware makes the price goes up very easily... Aug 13 17:31:05 yes indeed Aug 13 17:31:17 moreover it is more difficult to play withit like we can play with the nslu2 Aug 13 17:36:08 why would it be dangerous to build a raid 1 NAS based on the nslu2 modified with a debianslug ? Aug 13 17:38:05 anyway, I was more interested by any model of 2"5 drives that are known to have a long life in the conditions described above Aug 13 17:39:02 no one else is responding :) Aug 13 17:39:19 I can see taht :) Aug 13 17:39:35 i have a little problem with the external drive .. df show /dev/sda1 183.3G 32.0M 181.5G 0% /mnt/packages Aug 13 17:39:46 but fdisk -l /dev/sda1 1 244 1959898+ 83 Linux Aug 13 17:39:51 well I'll come back in another life then :) Aug 13 17:40:00 I can't see how it would be dangerous peetah Aug 13 17:40:13 but is it reliable :) Aug 13 17:41:06 I'll dig a little more in this direction to find successful users of this configuration then Aug 13 17:41:14 thanks for your time Hideki ! Aug 13 17:41:27 bye all Aug 13 18:15:30 stroh: what's the problem? Aug 13 18:15:36 look Aug 13 18:15:47 I am. I don't feel like doing math right now :) Aug 13 18:15:53 sda1 should 2gb big .. but its mounted as 180gb Aug 13 18:16:16 Did you do a new mkfs after you repartitioned it? Aug 13 18:16:37 hm ... :D Aug 13 18:16:39 nooo :D Aug 13 18:16:42 hehe Aug 13 18:16:49 rofl Aug 13 18:16:51 Ok. That'll be a problem ;) Aug 13 18:17:01 hey, thats funny Aug 13 18:17:31 * mwester refuses to admit the number of times he done that whilst testing with SlugOS, and then wondered why the fsck kept failing.... Aug 13 18:17:54 at first the disk hat 2 200G partitions Aug 13 18:18:50 how did the fs tools generate the check ? Aug 13 18:19:03 sometimes iss 18, 20, 21, , 37 days Aug 13 18:27:02 last time i tryied to install debian, i got to the place where i should set swap and so on, but i coulnt find my usb disk :( does someone know what can be wrong? Aug 13 18:30:00 solarbaby had the same problem Aug 13 18:30:28 the disk didn't work in usb port 1 Aug 13 18:30:52 well, it sort of worked, but only when mounted manually Aug 13 18:30:55 he had to change to port 2 Aug 13 18:31:03 did it work in usb port 2? Aug 13 18:31:29 i actully think i had it connected to port2 :S Aug 13 18:31:42 used that port using unslung so i used the same Aug 13 18:31:51 yes, but he switched to unslung, so I don't know if debian would find it or not Aug 13 18:32:23 switched to unsling from what? Aug 13 18:32:58 reflashed from debian to unslung Aug 13 18:33:34 done that Aug 13 18:33:44 debian works for me Aug 13 18:33:55 any port is ok Aug 13 18:34:43 :/ the flash to deb was fine and no problem, but it was when it came to find the disk so i could put the system someware and create a swapfile Aug 13 20:18:52 I need to configure my nslu2 to share a printer and share a LUKS encrypted partition on the network using Samba. Is Debian/NSLU2 or SlugOS better suited for this? Aug 13 20:26:55 hmm fudge :S cant find the howto for unsling Aug 13 20:59:23 the formate option in unslung webinterface doesent work very well does it?, isnt it suppose to delete all data on the disk? Aug 13 20:59:56 digii__, supposed... doesnt always work though Aug 13 21:01:06 tryied it about 5 times now :p Aug 13 21:01:12 is there any other way :D Aug 13 21:01:20 formate it using telnete Aug 13 21:01:38 or just connect it to my comp and do a formate Aug 13 21:02:52 digii__, I'd use the last option Aug 13 21:03:36 okey :D Aug 13 21:12:16 which wont work with unslung.... Aug 13 21:12:54 caplink811_log: hehe ook :S how do i do it then? Aug 13 21:13:21 remove /share/flash/data/.unslung and hope for the best that it will work? Aug 13 21:14:12 put one fat32 partition with your win box on the hd, then plug it on the nslu, the drive should recognised as not formated, and then let the nslu format the drive, that is the recommended way Aug 13 21:17:28 if this wont work too, you may try to negotiate with mwester, there is a file (which need some work for the individual environment) which creates a linksys/unslung filesystem Aug 13 21:20:52 ok =) Aug 13 21:21:09 but the webinterface works sometimes? Aug 13 21:21:54 "sometimes" Aug 13 21:22:04 Ive had to reformat a few times, remove partitions Aug 13 21:22:52 so it might NOT work if i dont remove stuff and so on :P Aug 13 21:23:10 mebbe Aug 13 21:23:21 hehe damn :P Aug 13 21:24:34 repartitioning is something like remove stuff... Aug 13 21:27:52 I think the "format does not delete data" thing is a "feature" in the Linksys code; possibly to limit angry customers who accidentally format their data. Aug 13 21:28:28 The fact that it does not work is, I believe, noted in the Unslung README file, to help folks avoid this problem ;) Aug 13 21:29:22 hehe darn :P so what it the easyiest way to make it possible to unsling :D Aug 13 21:29:31 Got a linux box? Aug 13 21:29:36 yea Aug 13 21:29:39 ubuntu Aug 13 21:29:47 Self parition(?) Aug 13 21:30:17 not that good at linux yet :P just started using it becouse i had no win cd athome :P Aug 13 21:30:35 Or whack debian on it Aug 13 21:30:40 It will parition it itself ;) Aug 13 21:30:45 yea tried that :D Aug 13 21:30:57 but deb didnt find the usb disk Aug 13 21:31:07 so that went to hell :P Aug 13 21:31:15 Did you select SCSI things from the list at the start? Aug 13 21:31:23 As i accidentally didnt on my first try Aug 13 21:32:53 My only gripe with my debian NSLU2 is it seems to free/become unresponsive for no real reason now and again Aug 13 21:32:58 used the top alternativ at the start Aug 13 21:33:12 the seelf partion or what its called Aug 13 21:34:26 autopartkit Aug 13 21:34:50 not the right option or was it the wrong thing u ment :P Aug 13 21:36:14 digii__, it seems that you should make a decision which firmware you would like to use, without this decision it is nearly impossible to help you.... Aug 13 21:36:56 digii__: Put the stick in a windows device, and re-partition/reformat it as a single FAT device. Then you can plug it into the NSLU2, and format it from the GUI, then unsling. Aug 13 21:38:21 what i would like it to have debian, Aug 13 21:38:29 i know so much Aug 13 21:39:18 What do you mean it didnt find the drive/stick? Aug 13 21:40:01 i got so far as to do a swap file and the system partion and stuff Aug 13 21:40:11 but i only found the internal flash Aug 13 21:40:57 It sounds like, on the first screen, you didnt select all the required packages Aug 13 21:41:21 i got no option to select and packages :S Aug 13 21:41:54 you must have missed it then Aug 13 21:41:58 i looked for that to, but then i thouge it was something that was needed after the installation Aug 13 21:42:11 http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/images/di-module-selection.png Aug 13 21:42:22 Its like as soon as you log into ssh Aug 13 21:42:44 it didnt look like that to me Aug 13 21:42:52 i had more optin Aug 13 21:42:54 option Aug 13 21:43:00 's Aug 13 21:43:45 If you scroll down... yeah Aug 13 21:43:52 they should really do a howto for dummies in pictures :P Aug 13 21:44:05 what is the correct option to seleft? Aug 13 21:44:10 autopartkit? Aug 13 21:44:22 There are loads if you scroll down Aug 13 21:44:28 ext3-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di: EXT3 filesystem support Aug 13 21:44:29 partman-auto: Automatically partition storage devices (partman) Aug 13 21:44:29 partman-ext3: Add to partman support for ext3 Aug 13 21:44:29 scsi-core-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di: Core SCSI subsystem Aug 13 21:44:29 usb-storage-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di: USB storage support Aug 13 21:44:37 You press space on the ones to select them Aug 13 21:44:43 ooh Aug 13 21:44:50 didnt know that :D Aug 13 21:45:01 maybe ill try again then :p Aug 13 21:45:05 I realised that myself when i came to the same situation Aug 13 21:45:24 ok Aug 13 21:53:19 digii__, You goiong to re-debian it then? Aug 13 22:50:45 is someone there that knows the installation of deebian to nslu2? Aug 13 22:51:06 just flashed it whit debian and used ssh to get in to it now Aug 13 22:51:37 maybe that http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html is more than enough Aug 13 22:52:10 start menu or shell? :S Aug 13 22:52:33 at the very beging Aug 13 22:54:22 as the link mentioned above, your slug beeped 3 times? Aug 13 22:54:30 yea Aug 13 22:54:36 im in Aug 13 22:54:38 it Aug 13 22:54:58 using ssh installer@ipadress Aug 13 22:55:24 but its the installation of debian im not that good at :P last time it didnt go so well :D Aug 13 22:56:04 just follow the instructions on martins site.. Aug 13 22:56:38 martins site? Aug 13 22:57:07 http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html i meant Aug 13 22:58:21 but at the very start is im suppose to go to meny or shell? Aug 13 22:59:56 you have read and understood http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/arm/ ? Aug 13 23:00:58 yea guess i underestand it Aug 13 23:01:23 got to the stage where i hafto select the stuff to install Aug 13 23:01:43 and its installinge partman usb-storage and so on now Aug 13 23:02:11 maybe that you are on the right way... Aug 13 23:03:18 now im an "partition disks" and i selected to partition my usb disk Aug 13 23:03:41 All files in one partition is that the easyest way? Aug 13 23:07:08 assuming, yes Aug 13 23:10:03 cant the swap file be larger then 57,6 mb? Aug 13 23:10:53 that depends on your disk layout Aug 13 23:20:28 if the max in swap is 56mb, can u use 2 swap files? Aug 13 23:30:13 how large space do i need for the root system? Aug 13 23:30:42 or should i put the root system on the space i will storee data on to or make diffrent partition? Aug 13 23:47:01 after the installation of debian Aug 13 23:47:05 i can ping it Aug 13 23:47:18 but i cant ssh root@192.168.0.143 Aug 13 23:47:20 :S Aug 14 00:03:22 after the installation of debian Aug 14 00:03:27 i can ping it Aug 14 00:03:30 but i cant ssh root@192.168.0.143 Aug 14 00:03:47 ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.143 port 22: Connection refused Aug 14 00:03:54 what can that be becouse? Aug 14 00:23:02 while doing an Nmap over my network i found out that All 1697 scanned ports on 192.168.0.143 are closed Aug 14 00:23:12 and that is my slug ip Aug 14 00:23:32 how im i suppose to use ssh to get in to it if its all closed? :( Aug 14 00:37:08 does telnet work? Aug 14 00:46:23 Digii Debian never worked for me.. something is wrong with it Aug 14 00:47:40 Unslung seems decent enough.. But Im worried now that I may never get any wifi working with it Aug 14 01:36:52 Im having absolutely no luck with the rtorrent config file.. keeps telling me theres something illegal Aug 14 01:48:13 nevermind I just got it working Aug 14 01:53:43 digii_: You still in need? Aug 14 01:54:05 digii_: May be that the sshd is generating your keys, may take a bit of time. Aug 14 02:20:25 Digii which flavor did you settle with? debian or unslung? Aug 14 02:23:37 whos in charge of packages being added to the Opt section? I wonder if anyone can help getting Centericq on the list Aug 14 02:24:56 its the best Gaim or Trillian solution to Ncurses Messeager clients Aug 14 02:25:11 at least it was years ago when I used to run it Aug 14 02:28:58 solarbaby: Im guessing you mean in unslung? (Since centericq is in debian) Aug 14 02:31:49 Maybe add it to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/PackageWishList Aug 14 02:34:38 Will do Aug 14 02:34:46 Its certainly a useful software Aug 14 02:34:54 and its built for lightweight use Aug 14 02:36:17 solarbaby: Seem to remember using it way back when I used icq, indeed. Aug 14 02:36:34 Icq,Aol,MSN,Yahoo, Etc Aug 14 02:36:39 it does everything including irc I think Aug 14 02:36:53 course I use BitchX for irc now that I've got my slug Aug 14 02:39:33 Just noticed there is an icq plugin for irssi. Not that I need it, but its in debian. ;) Aug 14 02:40:26 I wish Debian would have worked for me.. I'll have to try it again some day Aug 14 02:41:47 Aug 14 02:43:53 Got 350mb in my / folder, debian is a bit bigger then unslung. Aug 14 02:44:46 heh yeah.. I have a 30 gig 2.5 drive setup as my OS drive Aug 14 02:45:01 its good that its a little big.. room for torrents Aug 14 02:45:28 I plan on connecting a second drive tonight.. one with NTSF on it.. with some movies.. to test how well it streams them over the network Aug 14 02:55:11 solarbaby: seeking around in avi files may be troublesome, but watching them should be ok from my experience Aug 14 02:59:44 It might be really bad for seeking since im going to run a 750 gig hard drive filled with avis **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Aug 14 02:59:56 2007
