**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jan 03 02:59:56 2008 Jan 03 05:24:30 scant: hid and input are already available as kernel modules Jan 03 05:25:28 scant: see http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.openembedded.dev/packages/linux/unslung-kernel/defconfig for the kernel config - anything listed as =m is built as a module and deployed into the modules feed. Jan 03 05:26:34 scant: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/modules/cross/6.8-beta/ Jan 03 06:56:26 hid and input aren't installing via ipkg Jan 03 10:44:53 Hello, how can someone install sun-java6-jdk or sun-java5-jdk on Debian on NSLU2 ? Jan 03 10:46:44 NSLU2-IRC, please change your name Jan 03 10:46:50 if they are the names of packages Jan 03 10:47:02 apt-get install sun-java-jdk# Jan 03 10:47:03 apt-get install sun-java-jdk Jan 03 10:47:37 NSLU2-IRC, yeah Jan 03 10:47:41 apt-get install sun-java5-jdk Jan 03 10:47:50 apt-get install sun-java6-jdk Jan 03 10:48:44 The following packages have unmet dependencies: sun-java5-jre: Depends: sun-java5-bin (= 1.5.0-10-3) but it is not installable or ia32-sun-java5-bin (= 1.5.0-10-3) but it is not installable Jan 03 10:51:05 I didnt check Jan 03 10:51:10 NSLU2-IRC, it isnt build for ARM Jan 03 10:51:24 i didnt check Jan 03 10:52:06 you could potentially run it via Qemu... Jan 03 11:52:55 Hi I have probs with IPKG UPDATE. Can anybody help ?. http://rafb.net/p/bkc3mD58.html Jan 03 12:11:06 erikja, have you ever been able to do it? Jan 03 14:48:54 Reedy_Boy, Yes I have Jan 03 15:04:49 how can i fix this error? mv: cannot stat `t-ja.gmo': No such file or directory, make[3]: *** [ja.gmo] Error 1 Jan 03 15:31:16 scant: find where 't-ja.gmo' is supposed to be created/copied from, and put it where it is supposed to be. Jan 03 18:46:27 how do i change my name? Jan 03 18:46:52 its /nick whatever Jan 03 18:47:28 hmm okay Jan 03 18:47:37 thank you now to my problem ^^ Jan 03 18:47:53 i bricked my nslu down Jan 03 18:48:09 my current provider cut off the current while i was flashing :( Jan 03 18:48:11 are yuo sure you bricked it? Jan 03 18:48:25 and yes it was the boot loader Jan 03 18:48:52 hmm yes only the LAN was on all others off Jan 03 18:49:06 no redboot telnet possible,... Jan 03 18:49:49 so i attatched some nice JTAG ^^ and i can flash it but after that some yellow blinking ^^ Jan 03 18:50:10 now iīd tried to get the mac adress set using slugimage Jan 03 18:50:52 with standart linksys (actual firmware) no kernel getīs extracted so no way for me to a version with redboot and MAC Jan 03 18:51:20 with debian installer extract fine but when building together the kernel getīs too large Jan 03 18:51:37 can you help me? i want some debian on it if possible Jan 03 18:52:26 i suppose, it doesnt matter what you put on it, if you can get it loading to at least then reflash with upslug2/similar Jan 03 18:52:45 cprinz: what utility were you using that was overwriting the bootloader? Jan 03 18:53:01 hmm i canīt get redboot telnet up Jan 03 18:53:14 mwester was allrouter i think Jan 03 18:53:30 Don't know that utility. Jan 03 18:53:32 or allerase not really sure anymore :( Jan 03 18:53:44 eraseall? Jan 03 18:53:49 yes Jan 03 18:54:06 i know i shouldnīt use it Jan 03 18:54:06 The wiki warns you not to do that. Jan 03 18:54:38 now all you can expect is someone to laugh at you.. Jan 03 18:54:43 yes i know i am sorry about that at all but now it would be nice to correct my mistake ^^ Jan 03 18:55:21 hmm no way although jtag is up and running fine? Jan 03 18:55:28 Follow the wiki instructions to reflash a new redboot bootloader. Jan 03 18:55:42 Attach a serial port to make sure it's working. Jan 03 18:55:45 yes works fine but i didnīt get the mac in it Jan 03 18:56:09 Then you'll have to figure out how to put the mac address in via redboot and the serial port, or build an image that has it. Jan 03 18:56:12 the point of setting mac addres Jan 03 18:56:31 Although I would expect that with jtag you should be able to write the mac address to the correct location in flash as well. Jan 03 18:56:50 hmm serial port ist not aviable shop is ordering the MAX3232 Jan 03 18:56:51 but you're flying blind unless you have a serial console to see if redboot is even working. Jan 03 18:57:18 You'll have to wait, or you can try writing the mac address via jtag. Jan 03 18:57:31 yes i know but would give a try without serial need my nslu tomorrow :( Jan 03 18:57:55 can you help me writing mac using jtag Jan 03 18:58:05 nope, never done that. Jan 03 18:58:50 there is a section in the how-to but i get stucked cause no kernel gets extracted form linksys firmware using slugimage Jan 03 19:02:03 hmm so when there is the serial connector aviable i get the normal redboot options (including mac changing) wihtout flashing mac? Jan 03 19:16:32 ?? Jan 03 19:16:41 mwester are you still there? Jan 03 20:36:11 cprinz: normally you do, but I don't think the linksys version of redboot has the commands to update the mac address Jan 03 20:37:04 scant: use --force-depends to install the unslung kernel modules - and then document that in the ReleaseNotes page in the wiki. Jan 03 20:38:04 cprinz: see the jtag flashing wiki page for the location of the mac address - then use a binary editor to insert it. Jan 03 20:44:42 yes, thank you got it working now Jan 03 21:02:05 okay, now i am back in redboot :) Jan 03 21:14:07 cprinz: was there a reason you use eraseall instead of a safe flashing tool? Jan 03 21:28:48 hmm yes Jan 03 21:29:03 i didnīt get debian up and running and still i donīt get :( Jan 03 21:30:16 yes, but why did you use eraseall instead of sercomm or upslug2? Jan 03 21:30:35 cause i thought maybe the bootloader is another Jan 03 21:32:41 hmm now my slug starts with yellow ready/status then it starts blinking green , after this the disk 1 and disk2 are flashing and the whole process starts all over again Jan 03 21:37:26 cprinz: on which wiki page should I write that eraseall will not fix any flashing or booting problem that someone might have? where would you have seen a warning like that? Jan 03 21:37:58 (BTW, you need a serial port to debug this stuff) Jan 03 21:38:25 i know it was stupid it is okay ^^ Jan 03 21:38:46 i go to another shop tomorrow i promise i get one yesterday so we can work together ^^ Jan 03 21:39:47 cprinz: seriously, I'm not having a go at you, I really want to write that somewhere so that the next person doesn't try the same thing, cause the next person is not likely to be able to do jtag like you did Jan 03 21:41:00 hmm i think the problem is i got so messed up wanna have debian cause of a project that i did everything which maybe in what circumstance ever could work Jan 03 21:41:19 but now i know this was the most stupid thing to do with an slug Jan 03 21:42:31 yes, but which wiki page did you look at regarding eraseall? Jan 03 21:44:09 was outside here in a forum Jan 03 21:44:54 can you give a URL? Jan 03 21:45:21 i already posted that useing this tool is nothing but shit and stupid ^^ Jan 03 21:45:29 can you give a URL please? Jan 03 21:45:52 hmm was sometime ago when i bricked it, i look tomorrow okay? Jan 03 21:46:08 ok Jan 03 21:46:15 what was the forum? Jan 03 21:46:16 late here in germany ^^ Jan 03 21:46:37 a forum of i think hobby wannabees ;) Jan 03 21:47:46 * rwhitby gives up - I'm trying to put documentation in place to save new people hassle, but all I'm getting are non-useful smiley responses with no useful information. Jan 03 21:49:22 man what doesnīt he understand stating tomorrow? Jan 03 21:52:02 hi sa Jan 03 21:52:02 cprinz: we wish to know where the bad information is published -- where ever you found information that led you to try the erase-all utility, we wish to have that information updated to warn people about the dangers of that utility. Jan 03 21:52:39 ​ Jan 03 21:52:44 cprinz: rwhitby is simply asking for the URL of the place that gave you the information, so we can update it, and save someone else from destroying a device. Jan 03 21:53:30 ᒎᐆᐆdᓗᒡᒃ Jan 03 21:53:49 mwester Did you read what he said "[Thursday - 22:45] (cprinz): hmm was sometime ago when i bricked it, i look tomorrow okay?" Jan 03 21:54:47 Yes. Jan 03 21:55:15 so I guess cprinz going to finde out the site tomorrow Jan 03 21:55:32 I hope. Jan 03 21:55:40 sorry, hi there... i need to undestand the brick issues:: Is apex boot under risk? Jan 03 21:56:06 i will mwester i will Jan 03 21:56:35 cprinz: thx Jan 03 21:56:39 synko: as long as you do not overwrite the bootloader, you cannot brick the device. Apex is used as a second-stage bootloader, and thus is no problem. Jan 03 21:57:01 there you see nothing to worry about :) Jan 03 21:57:14 synko: HOWEVER! If you try to *replace* redboot with apex, then you best confirm that you have jtag access, because then you may be able to brick it. Jan 03 21:58:04 Apex is small, it should work as a second-stage bootloader in all application. I don't think there's any real reason to ever replace redboot. Jan 03 21:58:15 cprinz: bricking a slug is such a rare occurrance (I know of 4 now), that we take it very seriously. Jan 03 21:58:56 And of those 4, how many are a result of eraseall ? (I've forgotten) Jan 03 21:59:19 not only you, i understand you. i am a computerspecialist for netware systems i know such minded problems Jan 03 21:59:45 I thought I did when I updated the firmware to slugOS from unslug :P and didn't dare to try to do anything with for a week Jan 03 21:59:45 I was annoyed that instead of responding to my requests for information that would possibly stop a 5th slug being bricked, you were instead just responding with other stuff about how dumb it was to do it - we already know it was dumb to do it, we want to make sure no-one else tries it in the hope that it will fix a boot issue. Jan 03 21:59:54 k, tnx a lot.. and the last :: which serial cable do you suggest for unbrickable sluuga-king? Jan 03 22:00:28 mwester: 2 so far due to eraseall and power failures Jan 03 22:00:53 G'night all Jan 03 22:01:08 Varazir[NA]: night Jan 03 22:01:18 synko: the wiki has the current information on serial ports, I've tried a number of adaptors and they all work. www.sparkfun.com has a few as well. Jan 03 22:01:33 i think 2 things got together at me here eraseall and a powerfailure while upgrading Jan 03 22:01:37 mwester:tnx a lot Jan 03 22:02:46 didn't you see the big bold notices on the site Jan 03 22:02:49 not to use eraseall Jan 03 22:03:09 i thought was this post http://www.mindfactory.de/forum/modem-netzwerke-allgemein/24897-nslu2-anleitung-zum-fw-ruecksetzen-mit-sercom-tool-mittels-windows-pc.html?highlight=eraseall Jan 03 22:03:54 cprinz: thanks for the link. sorry I got annoyed at you. Jan 03 22:04:26 you didnīt annoy me, i am a bit sleepy. i am sorry to annoy you Jan 03 22:04:55 rwhitby: you speak german? Jan 03 22:06:16 cprinz: only enough words to convince a german that speaks english to help me. I'm australian and only know small bits of other languages. Jan 03 22:07:00 i like your way of humor Jan 03 22:07:40 what really annoy me now is my slug Jan 03 22:08:49 i flashed 23R63 now status stays yellow and LAN is green Jan 03 22:09:02 i now i need a serial way Jan 03 22:09:08 *know Jan 03 22:09:14 cprinz: did you flash the trailer Jan 03 22:09:16 ? Jan 03 22:09:30 upsluged it Jan 03 22:09:38 oh, you flashed the whole 23r63 - that should have flashed the trailer as part of it Jan 03 22:09:52 (linksys redboot checks for the trailer before attempting to boot the kernel) Jan 03 22:10:03 means what? Jan 03 22:10:30 ignore that - the trailer has nothing to do with your situation Jan 03 22:10:38 hmm okay :) Jan 03 22:11:46 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Info/SercommFlashTrailer Jan 03 22:14:11 hmm yes? Jan 03 22:14:45 that's the trailer. if it wasn't present, it wouldn't boot. but since you flashed a complete image then it will be present. Jan 03 22:14:56 i think so, yes Jan 03 22:19:17 still there? Jan 03 22:26:16 rwhitby: see you tomorrow... Jan 04 01:52:31 mwester: i'm still having problems Jan 04 01:52:43 can't compile alsa under unslung 6.10 Jan 04 01:52:46 natively **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jan 04 02:59:56 2008
