**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 02 02:59:57 2007 Oct 02 03:22:08 there are better (performance-wise) alternatives I think Oct 02 03:22:14 but not in the same price class Oct 02 03:22:44 linkstation or whatever Oct 02 05:29:50 Ok, I grok that the etch installer for a full-blown debian is broken as of 4.0r1, but if you unpack the tarball according to the instructions on www.cyrius.com, would any firmware (unslung, sulgos, etc) do the trick, or must you use the 4.0 firmware? Oct 02 09:27:12 Its possible to drop into "Low priority" in the debconf, supposedly it will work. Oct 02 09:29:47 Not that you are around anymore, but hey! ;) Oct 02 14:10:17 Woo, my nslu2 comes from Amazon today. Oct 02 14:10:32 yay Oct 02 14:12:26 Now to determine what firmware to put on. Oct 02 14:12:36 debian! Oct 02 14:13:12 My goal is Asterisk and OpenVPN. Oct 02 14:13:21 So I need low footprint. :) Oct 02 14:13:46 oh i use openvpn, not asterix Oct 02 14:14:33 ive not quite made it to the world of ip telephony Oct 02 14:14:39 Heh, you should. Oct 02 14:14:45 It's tons of fun. Oct 02 14:14:59 but most of my calls are free? what else do i get? Oct 02 14:15:08 voicemail? Oct 02 14:15:25 It's just fun. Oct 02 14:15:34 Most people use it to replace a corporate PBX. Oct 02 14:15:37 because those cost $$$ Oct 02 14:15:53 gotcha Oct 02 14:16:22 all i need now is a corporation! Oct 02 14:16:30 heh. Oct 02 14:20:45 heheh Oct 02 14:35:25 mocker: lowest footprint would be openwrt Oct 02 14:35:41 optware supports that as well Oct 02 14:35:56 although i haven't used it personally Oct 02 14:36:31 slugosbe also can be very lean Oct 02 14:38:10 eno: Lower than unslung? Oct 02 14:40:41 * barnseen2o guesses thats what lowest meant ;) Oct 02 14:41:27 openwrt should have a lower footprint since it's using uclibc Oct 02 14:41:38 and originally for routers Oct 02 14:42:30 slugosbe by default runs fewer daemons Oct 02 14:42:47 slugosbe with 2.6 kernel, and unslung is 2.4.22 Oct 02 15:03:47 Hello everyone! I recently got a slug, but I'm having problems mapping it in windows, or even accessing it in the windows network. Oct 02 15:04:10 SSH through Putty works well. Do you have any hints on what might be wrong? Oct 02 15:06:16 Oh, and a simple question from a Linux newbie - how do you know the network path to the folders in the slug if the only disk is connected in port 2? Oct 02 15:08:45 Hmm, if I just want Asterisk and OpenVPN can I get by w/o a USB drive? Oct 02 15:09:36 When I try to add the network-path in My Network Places, it says they don't exist or I don't have access. Oct 02 15:10:17 Do I need samba 3? Oct 02 15:11:17 Do I need to make a user that has the same name as my Windows user? Oct 02 15:14:22 Has anyone installed Gnump3D? I have a question. Oct 02 15:18:56 I think most people in here are hiding. Or asleep. Oct 02 15:19:08 * barnseen2o is hiding Oct 02 15:19:13 :) Oct 02 15:19:28 i have samba working on debian nslu2 Oct 02 15:19:36 it recently stopped working Oct 02 15:19:44 and i had to apply a sledgehammer to my smb.conf Oct 02 15:20:01 Oh, neat. Oct 02 15:20:05 i guess i could have fixed it but, i dont mind having open guest shares in my house ;-) Oct 02 15:20:55 typing man smb.conf gives a nice solution about 5/10 pages down about just overriding security if you want to try and see if that works. although its not ideal Oct 02 15:21:26 mine was wierd, it stopped working when i moved house - even though all the kit was the same! Oct 02 15:21:43 I wish I knew how it all worked, so I could know what the problems I have are, and could find a fix, instead of having to ask for help all the time. Oct 02 15:22:05 But it could be samba that's not working when I can't get straight windows network access? Oct 02 15:22:20 not sure what straight windows network access Oct 02 15:22:22 means Oct 02 15:22:40 Well, adding the slug in My Network Places, or mapping it to a drive. Oct 02 15:23:13 the shares should show up anyway Tumaini Oct 02 15:23:20 at least they do for me Oct 02 15:23:58 if you shell onto slug and type smbclient -U% -L localhost Oct 02 15:24:09 think you need to enable file sharing in network settings else nothing shows for example Oct 02 15:24:15 Aha, then something else is wrong I guess. It just says they don't exist when I try to open e.g. \\slug\share Oct 02 15:25:48 When I typed smbclient -U% -L localhost in Putty it said no such file or directory...maybe there was no samba installed. :S Oct 02 15:26:33 try ps -ef and looks if its running Oct 02 15:31:28 Does anyone understand what the guy 'chose'? http://www.mail-archive.com/gnump3d-users@gnu.org/msg00145.html Oct 02 15:31:37 It's what I need to get gnump3d working :S Oct 02 15:32:22 Well, I never installed samba, I thought it would be there from the start...silly me. Oct 02 15:33:19 I know he edited the Makefile, but which line? Oct 02 15:35:23 When I type ps -ef there are two lines where it says smbd -D. Does that mean two "samba daemon's" are running? Oct 02 15:35:43 yep Oct 02 15:36:17 gouki he choose "/opt/lib/perl5/site_perl" Oct 02 15:36:20 Ok, is that good? That there are two. And the network in windows is still not working. Oct 02 15:36:33 janne5011: For what line of the Makefile? Oct 02 15:37:10 janm: LIBDIR = ?? Oct 02 15:38:13 Tumaini I got 2 of thosoe to Oct 02 15:39:02 Ah, then that's not bad. Thank you. Perhaps it's my router? But ftp is working, and ssh. Oct 02 15:41:19 gouki is not siimplu .configure --with opt/lib/per5/site_perl or somting like that? Oct 02 15:41:25 *simply Oct 02 15:42:17 tumaini you got unslung? Oct 02 15:42:22 Yes. Oct 02 15:42:26 janne5011: Don't think so. Gnump3D doesn't come with a configuration file. Oct 02 15:42:44 enable file sharing on your win puter? Oct 02 15:42:53 yes, done that Oct 02 15:43:03 hm Oct 02 15:45:55 I've tried \\slug\sda, \\slug\share, \\slug\media, \\slug\share\hdd\data...and others. None of them work. Oct 02 15:46:35 if you look in my networks palces there is nothing? Oct 02 15:46:41 *places Oct 02 15:47:22 Just the shared folders on my own computer. And sometimes the path gets added, but you can't access it if you try to click on it. Oct 02 15:48:09 from the start user and pass is admin and admin Oct 02 15:48:50 Yes, I changed that. It never asks for any user or pass when I try to open the network path to the slug. Oct 02 15:49:06 It just says it's not connected or I don't have access. Oct 02 15:55:32 same workgroup at the system page? Oct 02 15:55:53 same as in windows I meant Oct 02 15:56:34 It is, it was lower-case though, I changed it to upper-case, see if that helps. Oct 02 15:57:58 Nope, still says network path can not be found. But it still shows up in the workgroup, and now together with my laptop. Oct 02 15:59:22 I think its more easy to check it out if you go via networkplaces instead of \\slug\share Oct 02 16:00:03 and if you changed it I think a reboot in win is needed. Oct 02 16:00:18 this works out of the box for me.. Oct 02 16:00:25 Yes, when I don't try to add it manually, it shows up with the name of the slug, but when I try to access it, it's not available. Oct 02 16:00:35 Ah, well, i have restarted, but I'll try it again. Oct 02 16:00:56 Thanks for your help, I hope this does that trick. Oct 02 16:01:06 hope so to=) Oct 02 16:21:15 janne5011: I'm sorry to say that the restart was to no avail. But I found the problem - I had Zonealarm running and it didn't let the traffic through! Oct 02 16:32:45 What I mean is - I open the smb-share-folder (e.g. \\slug\share) in the workgroup where it is. Now I have folders in there, and those can not be opened. Oct 02 16:33:39 I can create a share for each of those folders, and then they can be opened, but creating hundreds of shares for that seems an real hassle. Oct 02 16:43:27 Bah, just keep getting disconnected. Well, I found the solution myself, it's my linux-newbie-skills that were the problem - I hadn't set the right permissions on the folders, it seems...whaddayaknow.... Oct 02 18:36:50 Ok, I've taken the big step, moved from unslug to openslug. Now the thing is I simply did turnup disk -i -f /dev/sda1 ext3 Oct 02 18:36:59 rebooted and everything is fine.. atleast i think Oct 02 18:37:07 I'm greeted a bit strangly though Oct 02 18:38:08 after reboot the I logged in with Putty, with the newpassword and recieved: Welcome to Unslung V2.3R63... Oct 02 18:38:28 so I'm a bit scared to run ikpg update ...since I'm not sure if I'm really booting from the disk or not Oct 02 18:38:47 Is there a certain way I can tell if the Nslu2 is running from the sda1 or from the internal flash? Oct 02 18:47:04 Ok...taking a chance here...Home I don't have to regret this Oct 02 18:47:21 home = hope :) Oct 02 18:56:37 Soheil: So ho'd it go? Oct 02 18:56:42 er, how'd Oct 02 18:57:12 :) I'm not sure, It looks pretty good... Oct 02 18:58:06 I'm almost certain that the device runs from the disk Oct 02 18:58:36 damn webbrowser... Oct 02 19:00:09 the thing that is puzzling me is that that the packages that are beeing downloaded are from ...feeds/unslung/cross/ ... Oct 02 19:01:01 but I'm using openslug Oct 02 19:02:02 If things start to work very fishy, I'll maybe have to wipeout sda1 completly, and then run the turnup -i disk dev/sda1/ -ext3 from scratch Oct 02 19:02:16 Soheil: that does not sound right Oct 02 19:02:30 what is the output of "grep http /etc/ipkg/*" Oct 02 19:03:32 what is the output of `uname -a` ? Oct 02 19:04:02 grep http /etc/ipkg/* gives "/etc/ipkg/cross-feed.conf:src/gz cross http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/slugos-bag/cross/3.10-beta" and so on Oct 02 19:04:20 uname -a gives Linux NSLU2/OPENSLUG 2.6.16 #1 PREEMPT Fri Jun 9 07:34:31 PDT 2006 armv5teb unknown Oct 02 19:04:59 so you're definitely running openslug Oct 02 19:05:14 which ipkg ? Oct 02 19:05:32 ipkg version 0.99.154 Oct 02 19:05:41 i mean the path Oct 02 19:06:07 I'm a bit green at this stuff :) How do i check? Oct 02 19:06:31 type "which ipkg" Oct 02 19:06:59 "usr/bin/ipkg" Oct 02 19:07:00 :) Oct 02 19:07:29 think you got the right version Oct 02 19:07:47 unslung ipkg 0.99.148 Oct 02 19:08:16 openslug /usr/bin/ipkg 0.99.154 Oct 02 19:08:32 Ok, but I might have to redo the root partition...since I'm not sure how to clean out the remains of the old root Oct 02 19:08:39 optware/slugosbe /opt/bin/ipkg 0.99.163 Oct 02 19:09:59 as far as ipkg is concerned, it needs to use /etc/ipkg* and /usr/lib/ipkg/ Oct 02 20:09:26 this did not work as well as i thought Oct 02 20:09:54 is there a standalone ftp-server that i start in openslug ? Oct 02 20:10:06 so i can download my files, wipe the disk, and reinstall the root partition? Oct 02 20:11:08 Hmm, i might have found something, proftpd Oct 02 20:21:42 * mocker wonders how long it will take to get unslung on this when he gets home tonight. :) Oct 02 20:35:48 Actually I may want to go w/ SlugOS/BE Oct 02 21:04:16 mocker: Just unslinging / flashing or setting it up the way you want it? :) Oct 02 21:20:16 widrone: It will never be finished if that's my criteria! Oct 02 21:40:21 the flashing part is pretty quick :) The hard part is when you everything bugs out :) Oct 02 21:42:04 Well, here is a tip anyway, if you upgrade from unslung to Slugos, don't just overwrite the root partition using the -f flag...things will be very messy Oct 02 22:45:38 mocker: I hope you spend more time reading the doc then typing command, the operation itself is not a long ordeal. Oct 02 22:46:13 After that its left to how well you know linux (or how interested you are in learning) Oct 02 22:46:35 mocker: But getting started with ipkg is not that hard at all. Oct 02 22:56:05 Just dont overload the little sucker with tasks, usually happens after a while since its so small and silent.
