**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Sep 13 02:59:57 2007 Sep 13 07:24:30 does anyone happen to know which ipk package contains the typical (/usr)/bin/install ? Sep 13 07:26:09 coreutils Sep 13 07:26:47 ah .. /me slaps forehead :) Sep 13 07:28:32 need to put together a somewhat minimalistic USB-image for a set of NSLU2s .. but i need some additional stuff that's not available in the openembedded package repo ... so i need to build it on the system itself ... it's been an interesting package search so far before i actually had a working gcc :) Sep 13 08:23:02 Oi, me slugs locking up when I format a disk. Interesting... Sep 13 08:24:03 "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000daa24" Sep 13 08:24:48 Maybe there is bad blocks in my flash-swap, Ill try with a disk based one just to be safe. Sep 13 13:13:29 mwester: thanks for your help yesterday. I'm up and running my firefly server with backup to disk 2. Sep 13 13:31:06 I seem to be hitting a strange bug when making ext filesystems on my debian slug. Sep 13 13:35:30 Now how is that for famous last words... ;) Sep 13 14:07:30 df Sep 13 16:12:15 Did anyone try kismet at the slug and what kind of usb stick did you use.. Sep 13 16:29:55 Im guessing "Yes" to the first one, and "something that works" for the 2nd one. Sep 13 16:30:14 So I guess you want to know what kinds of usb sticks that work? :) Sep 13 16:32:13 And that again I think will depend on what os you are running it from and if you want/can compile modules for it. Sep 13 16:32:38 Well, not OS but slug-distro I should say. Sep 13 16:35:52 I would go with something that has god/open managed support in the kernel to be on the easy/safe side. Maybe even the kismet pages/forum has some recomendations. Sep 13 16:39:10 * widrone realises he just used 3 /es in one sentance. Sep 13 16:39:43 Got my wrt running slug spiking 99.5% cpu on me when I run gpsd. Sep 13 16:41:24 And the debian one crashing when I format ext filesystems, this just aint my day at all. Sep 13 16:55:02 The 99% cpu with gpsd only seems to happen sometimes thu, and that is strange. Hope I can reproduce it... Sep 13 17:26:24 ah ofc, it only happens if the gps has no fix it seems. *duh* Sep 13 17:49:31 isn't there a way to install debian/testing using the di (debian-installer) flash image available in slug-firmware.net? i guess that would work around the current stable kernel problem, wouldn't it? Sep 13 18:00:04 I remember som list post on that. Doing expert mode lets you get the rite kernel Sep 13 18:01:39 http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-arm@lists.debian.org/msg07132.html Sep 13 18:02:03 Change debconf priority etc... Sep 13 18:54:27 widrone, thanks Sep 13 21:19:36 tuv: np, feel free to report back with sucessrate ;) Sep 13 21:20:15 widrone, installing debian/testing fails, but stable with kernel 2.6.18-5 (instead of the default 2.6.18-4) works great Sep 13 21:23:35 tuv: Nice, least its still able to get them debianised somewhat easy. Sep 13 21:24:19 Im currently having some trouble makeing ext filesystems on my debian nslu2, and I cant figure out what fails :/ Sep 13 22:08:56 There is some magical limit to how big the partitions can be before it all just falls apart and the slug freezes to a halt. Sep 13 22:08:56 Seems a bit related to the install bug where it will freeze if you mkfs. before mounting swap. Sep 13 22:13:57 Ugh, it fells like "trial and error" will have to come into play. Sep 13 22:15:35 10G is ok, 50G is ok too. Now lets try to force a lockup by formating 100G as ext2. Sep 13 22:19:37 100GB will working, just did it this afternoon on opendebianslug... as well as 200 GB too, that is another partition on this disc Sep 13 22:20:06 but the client is gone... Sep 13 22:22:01 100GB will working, just did it this afternoon on opendebianslug... as well as 200 GB too, that is another partition on this disc (both ext3) Sep 13 22:22:26 This one wont, so there must be something strange. 100G just crashed on me. Sep 13 22:22:46 And I trtied this with both swap on flash and on a disk, same result really. Sep 13 22:24:19 75G seems to be no problem either. *scratches head* Guess Ill make a 75G lvm and just grow it about 10 times ;) Sep 13 22:26:21 Internal error: Oops: 17 [#1] Sep 13 22:28:13 Really I think this is the part it falls apart for my slug "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 00052e3c". Sep 13 22:52:14 I just cant beileve my insane lvm2 spin worked, make a small ext2 partition and just grow it bigger. Now that is a silly workaround... Sep 13 22:53:58 seems to be some problems with mkfs.ext3 within debian... !? Sep 13 23:03:44 hi Sep 13 23:03:59 moning :) Sep 13 23:04:06 uh :) Sep 13 23:04:11 grmbl, morning Sep 13 23:04:17 didn't expect to see any people here this late Sep 13 23:04:27 ~ugt Sep 13 23:04:28 i guess ugt is Universial Greeting Time. Created in #mipslinux, it is a rule that states that whenever somebody enters an IRC channel it is always morning, and it is always late when the person leaves. The local time of any other people in the channel, including the greeter, is irrelevant. Sep 13 23:04:31 i've got a question regarding the installation of unslug Sep 13 23:04:35 heh :) Sep 13 23:04:40 ~ask Sep 13 23:04:41 ask is probably 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. Sep 13 23:04:45 i'm trying to install unslug for the first time Sep 13 23:04:52 flashing the firmware worked fine Sep 13 23:05:01 but i'm having trouble unslinging the hdd Sep 13 23:05:11 it keeps telling me Sep 13 23:05:11 Error: /share/hdd/data (disk1, /dev/sdb1) is not a mounted disk Sep 13 23:05:17 when i try to run /sbin/unsling disk1 Sep 13 23:05:40 you plugged the disk at wich slot? Sep 13 23:05:43 the disk is properly connectet at port 1 and is properly formatted (it says Formatted (ext3) in the interface) Sep 13 23:05:47 the disk1 slot Sep 13 23:06:12 and there's another weird thing Sep 13 23:06:15 you meant usb port 1? Sep 13 23:06:18 yeah Sep 13 23:06:31 the lower one of the two Sep 13 23:06:49 and you using unslung-6.8 firmware? Sep 13 23:07:00 jep Sep 13 23:08:05 and what's also weird: when i booted, it said that 100% are free and it showed me the correct capacity of the disk on the webinterface. but after i ran unsling, it says "Ready, 6MB (3% Free)" which isn't really correct Sep 13 23:08:47 i already tried to shutdown the nslu2, reboot without a disk attached, telnet in, plug the disk in an then run unsling again, but the same happend Sep 13 23:10:20 /dev/sdb1 is at port2 (disk1) /devsda is port1 (disk2) Sep 13 23:10:36 oh Sep 13 23:10:46 /dev/sda i meant Sep 13 23:10:53 so i should have run /sbin/unsling disk2 when the disk is plugged in at port1? Sep 13 23:11:08 assuming, yes Sep 13 23:11:25 okay, let me give it a try Sep 13 23:11:35 there is a page in the wiki about that topic Sep 13 23:11:57 hrm, same here Sep 13 23:11:58 Error: /share/flash/data (disk2, /dev/sda1) is not a mounted disk Sep 13 23:12:06 hm Sep 13 23:12:51 and in the README file it says Sep 13 23:12:51 (If you've decided to unsling to a device connected to port 1, you'll run Sep 13 23:12:54 "/sbin/unsling disk1", of course.) Sep 13 23:13:07 so /sbin/unsling disk1 should be correct, according to the README file Sep 13 23:15:04 hm, did you read http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/WhichUSBPortforUnslung6 and all depencies? Sep 13 23:15:27 oh wait Sep 13 23:15:35 i formatted the hdd with the nslu Sep 13 23:15:50 but with the original linksys firmware and not with the openslug firmware Sep 13 23:15:56 could that be a problem? Sep 13 23:16:42 openslug or unslung fw, this may be a difference? Sep 13 23:17:01 okay Sep 13 23:17:13 then i'll reformat it Sep 13 23:19:10 * caplink811_log is heading to bed now (in my tz it is past 1 o'cock) Sep 13 23:19:23 gnite @ all Sep 13 23:19:42 good night Sep 13 23:22:57 hmm Sep 13 23:22:59 doesn't work Sep 13 23:23:14 anyone else who has an idea? Sep 13 23:30:14 ah i got it Sep 13 23:31:35 i had to connect it to port2 instead of port1 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Sep 14 02:59:56 2007
