**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jan 07 02:59:57 2008 Jan 07 05:34:27 etc/rc.d/rc.half references /sbin/halt-test which references /sbin/killall5, but i can't find /sbin/killall5 Jan 07 17:39:07 Hi all -- I'm trying to edit the wiki at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/FixTheClockUsingAdjtimexAndNtpclient , Jan 07 17:39:20 but it won't accept the edits. Editing other pages works. Anyone know what's up? Jan 07 17:48:03 Can anyone tell me if they can reproduce the problem? If I edit it and click on Save, nothing happens -- the page Jan 07 17:48:07 doesn't even refresh. Jan 07 18:00:21 bcrowell, works for me Jan 07 18:00:25 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/FixTheClockUsingAdjtimexAndNtpclient?action=diff Jan 07 18:03:55 Thanks, Reedy_Boy. It works for me now, too. Maybe a glitch with my isp, or the server was too busy...? Jan 07 18:09:09 Gaah -- it's happening again! Can anyone test it now? Jan 07 18:19:49 Ah, interesting. It looks like small edits work, but big ones fail. Jan 07 18:24:24 Hmm... the problem seems to be that I'm trying to put in a link, http://www.culcon.com/~henry/nslu2.html . Any edit I do that doesn't Jan 07 18:24:38 include that link will succeed, but if it includes that link, it fails. Jan 07 18:26:12 Yep, is this some kind of anti-spam provision? Maybe there's a limit on how many links one user can insert per unit time? Jan 07 18:27:31 Yeah, there are some backlisted links and such AFAIK.. Jan 07 18:31:47 Yeah, but I don't think it's blacklisting, because the link I was trying to insert was already in the page. Jan 07 18:32:10 I was just trying to clean up the page and move things around. Jan 07 18:32:36 hmm, rwhitby any known wiki issues? Jan 07 18:37:21 I've done a rewrite of the page at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/FixTheClockUsingAdjtimexAndNtpclient . Jan 07 18:37:32 It would be great if people more knowledgeable than I am could look it over. Jan 07 18:37:53 It currently presents three different methods of accomplishing the same thing, and it's not clear to me whether Jan 07 18:38:14 one might be preferable to another. Jan 07 18:59:46 Hi, I just wondered if someone could help me with a question? Is it possible to use a serial port with PHP, i'm running Unslung with PHP-apache and have an FTDI usb to serial chip on /dev/ttyUSB0. I have tried this: http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/3679.html but it wont work, I'm getting an error "[Mon Jan 07 19:28:57 2008] [error] [client 10.0.0.12] PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/opt/share/www/exam Jan 07 19:00:38 * Reedy_Boy thinks that his FTDI serial cable was shipped today :) Jan 07 19:02:17 What do you mean by "use a serial port with php" Jan 07 19:02:22 Make PHP use the serial port? Jan 07 19:02:27 OR use PHP via the serial port? Jan 07 19:04:01 PocketRocket, Jan 07 19:04:18 Its the prior it would seem? Jan 07 19:04:21 Make php use the serial port, i have a Arduino (www.arduino.cc) and want to send and receive bytes from it Jan 07 19:05:01 Whats the full error? Jan 07 19:05:06 If its long, please use a pastebin Jan 07 19:05:16 http://pastebin.com Jan 07 19:07:11 in the apache log it only says "[Mon Jan 07 19:28:57 2008] [error] [client 10.0.0.12] PHP Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/opt/share/www/example.php' (include_path='.:') in Unknown on line 0" Jan 07 19:07:25 is there any other logfile? Jan 07 19:07:49 have you tried adding the example.php from the site? Jan 07 19:08:24 yes, only changed the com port to /dev/ttyUSB0 Jan 07 19:09:01 are your web documents in that directory? (presumably they are?) Jan 07 19:10:07 ist only a simple index.php, example.php and php_serial.class.php Jan 07 19:10:37 I missed a line in the log:"Mon Jan 07 19:28:57 2008] [error] [client 10.0.0.12] PHP Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0 Jan 07 19:10:42 Ah Jan 07 19:10:53 presumably they may need to be made executable.. Jan 07 19:11:00 or its not allowing it access the device Jan 07 19:11:24 oh.. i'll try that. Jan 07 19:18:52 I have typed "chmod +x /opt/share/www/example.php" and "chmod +x /opt/share/www/php_serial.class.php" but it still don't work Jan 07 19:19:50 "[error] [client 10.0.0.12] PHP Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0 Jan 07 19:20:48 I'm ignorant about the specifics here, but as a general suggestion, you might want to make sure you can get the Jan 07 19:21:08 device working on a regular desktop linux box by the same technique. Then if that works, you could check Jan 07 19:21:24 that you can get it to work from the command line as root on your slug, and then see if you can get it to work Jan 07 19:21:44 from the command line as a unprivileged user (if your web server runs as an unprivileged user). Jan 07 19:24:24 okay, i'll try that. I'm new to linux and php, so I don't really know that to look for when things go bad. Jan 07 19:25:27 how can i send a byte from the command line to the serial port? Jan 07 19:26:12 I think something like this would work: echo "a" >/dev/ttyUSB0 Jan 07 19:26:30 This might also send a newline character to the serial port. If the byte you want to send Jan 07 19:26:49 isn't a printable/typeable character, then you might need to put a hex or octal escape Jan 07 19:27:02 code inside the quotes, and the specifics of that might depend on your shell. Jan 07 19:27:17 If you do echo $SHELL , it should tell you what shell you're using. Jan 07 19:27:51 echo -n will get rid of the trailing newline, which you don't want Jan 07 19:29:41 somone here running mc on ds101j ? Jan 07 19:30:19 echo $SHELL gave me /bin/sh. Any way to config the serial line to 9600 bps? Jan 07 19:31:21 The arduino runs a program that flashes a LED whenever a character is received Jan 07 19:34:56 Got to go, thanks for all the help! Jan 07 19:35:13 good luck! Jan 07 19:49:45 hi Jan 07 19:50:04 any help for a newbie Jan 07 19:50:36 bearbear1982, just ask! Jan 07 19:50:59 i recently flashed the latest debian installer on my slug Jan 07 19:51:20 but i cannot seem to ssh it after the flashing process Jan 07 19:52:49 i then flash the original fw on it, to make sure the ip n all r set correctly Jan 07 19:53:02 n from there i reflash the debian installer Jan 07 19:53:25 n i'm still not able to ssh into my slug to start the installer Jan 07 19:53:33 have you given it like 10 minutes? Jan 07 19:53:40 i heard the 3 beeps Jan 07 19:53:41 or waited for a beep Jan 07 19:53:43 ah Jan 07 19:53:46 thats intriuging Jan 07 19:53:55 but the status light stays amber Jan 07 19:53:57 or organe Jan 07 19:54:00 orange Jan 07 19:54:10 i think thats right.. but its beeped... so its "ready" Jan 07 19:54:26 do i need to plug in the usb stick ? Jan 07 19:55:02 i cant even ping the ip Jan 07 19:55:11 arp -a Jan 07 19:55:14 does that give anything? Jan 07 19:56:25 will have to retry it Jan 07 19:56:34 i just flashed it back to the original fw Jan 07 19:56:41 lol Jan 07 19:59:44 besides that any other thing i should try ? Jan 07 20:00:21 i'm flashing my slug using the upgrade method from the original fw Jan 07 20:03:18 i ran arp-a n i dont see my my slug there any more Jan 07 20:03:39 it was there when i had the original fw Jan 07 20:03:56 after i flash the debian installer fw, i cant see it anymore Jan 07 20:09:47 any1 here to help ? Jan 07 20:13:31 help needed Jan 07 20:13:34 any1 here? Jan 07 20:14:36 im thinking Jan 07 20:15:35 tnx Jan 07 20:17:24 i'm using putty to try to ssh to my slug Jan 07 20:21:43 bearbear1982, wassup? Jan 07 20:22:05 Debian install Jan 07 20:22:07 it beeps Jan 07 20:22:12 no ping, no arp Jan 07 20:22:17 no ssh Jan 07 20:22:26 ya Jan 07 20:22:28 fine again when he reflashses to stock CieD Jan 07 20:22:50 Is this with the new installer? Jan 07 20:22:55 yup Jan 07 20:23:24 I've not used that, but when I did my last install I had to reboot it... twice before I could ssh in Jan 07 20:23:39 how did u reboot it ? Jan 07 20:23:49 pull the power lead Jan 07 20:23:49 the poer button is not working Jan 07 20:23:54 ok Jan 07 20:23:58 will try tht Jan 07 20:24:32 then plug it back in, get a brew, then try another go Jan 07 20:24:56 do you know the IP addy is definately right Jan 07 20:25:13 * CieD used nmap just to make sure Jan 07 20:25:23 the ip works when he puts the stock firmware back on Jan 07 20:25:34 so presumably, yes Jan 07 20:27:11 well we'll see what happens after the reboot. I think mine worked after I pulled the power twice, although I've no idea why Jan 07 20:27:24 i installed ftp on my openslug some time ago, but can't recall which one and what version. can someone help me locate it? Jan 07 20:27:59 Are you running Windows there jelle ? Jan 07 20:28:03 sounds real weird Jan 07 20:28:30 jelle, which will tell you the location of an install Jan 07 20:28:30 bearbear1982, the hard drive wirring? Jan 07 20:28:33 if you know what its called Jan 07 20:28:49 no harddrive Jan 07 20:28:54 eh, no. running osx. Jan 07 20:29:29 you have anything you can port scan your LAN with? Linux has nmap Jan 07 20:30:13 as does osx apparently.. http://faktory.org/m/software/nmap/ Jan 07 20:30:20 yes, I know which. but there is 'which' but it doesnt do anything on the queries ftp, ftpd proftpd, vsftpd ... Jan 07 20:30:33 i did not plug in any usb stick or usb disk on it yet Jan 07 20:31:14 * CieD goes off to read up on diskless debian installs Jan 07 20:31:57 windows has innap Jan 07 20:32:05 jelle, cant you use wildcards? Jan 07 20:32:39 not with 'which' I cant Jan 07 20:32:58 hmm Jan 07 20:33:28 after 2 restart Jan 07 20:33:30 bearbear1982, you've installed Debian, without a disk of any kind? Jan 07 20:33:41 i havent install anything Jan 07 20:33:44 i just flashed it Jan 07 20:34:10 after flashing, i cant ssh it Jan 07 20:34:18 cannot ping it Jan 07 20:34:24 oni got the 3 beeps Jan 07 20:35:14 I'll do a find *ftp*, see what comes up Jan 07 20:35:28 doesnt seem to work Jan 07 20:36:28 CieD is a disk necessary to be able to ssh to the slug ? Jan 07 20:37:13 No, but I think it needs to be attached before the reboot and 3 beeps Jan 07 20:37:32 n do i need to format them? Jan 07 20:37:36 "After the whole image has been written and verified, the system will automatically reboot:" Jan 07 20:37:49 "Make sure you connect and turn on your USB disk again, otherwise debian-installer won't be able to find it." Jan 07 20:37:57 i did that once. Jan 07 20:37:59 CieD, he hasnt got that far Jan 07 20:38:01 but it did not help Jan 07 20:38:22 i dont think i reach that far either Jan 07 20:38:38 you havent gone through the installer have you? as you cant even get connected via ssh Jan 07 20:38:48 yup Jan 07 20:38:51 Ok Jan 07 20:39:19 The install page at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html says that once you've flashed the rom it will reboot Jan 07 20:39:32 yeah Jan 07 20:39:36 but he's ages from that Jan 07 20:39:46 i did that Jan 07 20:39:55 Ages? He said he'd flashed the ROM Jan 07 20:40:05 and it reboot and 3 beeps Jan 07 20:40:20 what format must the disk have ? Jan 07 20:40:22 bearbear1982, that's what it should do Jan 07 20:40:25 ext3? fat? Jan 07 20:40:31 ntfs >? Jan 07 20:40:32 don't worry, the installer will do that Jan 07 20:40:39 He'd put the installer on Jan 07 20:41:00 i will restart with the usb stick plug in now Jan 07 20:41:14 Do you know what IP address the slug has? Jan 07 20:41:18 jelle, can you get the package manager to list all the istalled packages? Jan 07 20:41:32 yes Jan 07 20:41:36 excellent Jan 07 20:41:58 So, you should plug the USB disk or drive in, and pull the power lead Jan 07 20:42:17 jelle, locate ftp Jan 07 20:42:17 When it beeps 3 times again, you should be able to ssh in Jan 07 20:42:26 The thing is, it wont Jan 07 20:42:37 jelle, will give you a list of everything with ftp in Jan 07 20:42:40 ya Jan 07 20:42:45 # ipkg list_installed Jan 07 20:42:45 Segmentation fault Jan 07 20:42:56 o_0 Jan 07 20:43:06 reboot... Jan 07 20:43:29 not hellping Jan 07 20:43:56 i tried starting it with the usb stick pluged in Jan 07 20:43:59 still no ssh Jan 07 20:44:07 you can plug the usb stick in during the install - i've done it Jan 07 20:44:40 so the usb is not the problem Jan 07 20:44:48 "You have to wait approximately five minutes after the debian-installer firmware has been flashed before you can connect, but please be patient as it can sometimes take slightly longer, say 10-15 minutes. When the installer is ready, it will beep three times to indicate that you can now login via SSH." Jan 07 20:44:49 problem is still ssh into the slug Jan 07 20:44:56 ya Jan 07 20:45:00 i got the 3 beeps Jan 07 20:45:48 can you port scan or listen to the ethernet to make sure that you have the right IP address? Jan 07 20:46:15 the IP address works when he reflashes it with the stock firmware Jan 07 20:46:17 so its right Jan 07 20:46:34 i use the default ip Jan 07 20:46:44 192.168.1.77 Jan 07 20:47:04 what's your computer's IP address? Jan 07 20:47:17 192.168.1.112 Jan 07 20:47:56 well, if it was me, I'd be trying to hear the slug to make sure it's using the correct IP Jan 07 20:48:11 yeah, but theres no arp -a response Jan 07 20:48:17 how do u do tht? Jan 07 20:48:19 bearbear1982, presumably the network LED is light up Jan 07 20:48:22 lit Jan 07 20:48:25 yup Jan 07 20:48:27 and also on the router/switch Jan 07 20:48:30 oni 2 lights Jan 07 20:48:42 status light = orange Jan 07 20:48:49 ethernet light = green Jan 07 20:49:11 Flash the native Linksys firmware, boot it up (without disks), and follow the linksys instructions to reset the unit to factory defaults. Then it should appear on the network at 192.168.1.77. Then proceed with the Debian install. Jan 07 20:49:42 * CieD backs out, too many cooks etc Jan 07 20:50:51 how does tht help? Jan 07 20:54:24 flashing the linksys fw now Jan 07 20:55:25 bearbear1982: It helps by resetting the IP address to the factory default, because the Debian installer reads the IP to use (along with other network settings) from the same configuration data in flash as the Linksys firmware. Jan 07 21:15:23 mwester , i did what u said.. Jan 07 21:15:28 n it didnt help either Jan 07 21:15:46 still no ssh Jan 07 21:16:40 Ok. Then you know one very important thing that is *not* the problem. So if you have no ssh, it is not due to the fact that the config area of the flash is damaged, or has a bad IP address. Jan 07 21:17:31 what other problems can there be? Jan 07 21:18:21 What did you use to flash it? Jan 07 21:18:34 using the upgrade method Jan 07 21:18:59 Ok, that gets it into upgrade mode; what tool did you use to upload the firmware? and what firmware? Jan 07 21:20:29 i used the upgrade mode on the original fw , load the lastest unofficial debian installer fw and upgrade it Jan 07 21:22:36 I'm thinking of changing the firmware on my NSLU2 from Debian to OpenWrt is it worth the hassel to get some more speed? Jan 07 21:25:08 mwester, any idea? Jan 07 21:26:17 Nope. If the instructions suggest that you should have some form of storage device attached, you might try that. Otherwise, I can't help further (I don't do debian firmware; I stick with Unslung and SlugOS). Jan 07 21:26:44 i use to have unslug Jan 07 21:26:55 unslung, but it didnt work too well with rtorrent Jan 07 21:27:08 thats y i decided to switch to debian Jan 07 21:27:16 and its giving me a headache Jan 07 21:27:42 The debian installer seems to be very finicky IMO. Jan 07 21:28:01 hey guys Jan 07 21:29:08 hey Jan 07 21:30:16 daveyboy_, question? ;P Jan 07 21:30:27 anyomne know of a torrnt client that i can put only unslung box that i can use gui with... see guide for using rottent, but it says its bit flakey with unslung Jan 07 21:30:33 lmfao Jan 07 21:30:56 ha, ;) its early days for me. when im all set up, ill shut up with the questions :D Jan 07 21:31:54 rtorrent not too stable with unslung Jan 07 21:32:00 i will not suggest using it Jan 07 21:32:38 bsides rtorrent, i dont know other torrent client tht has a gui Jan 07 21:33:11 azureus has web plugins :D Jan 07 21:33:25 hehe Jan 07 21:33:41 ssh to my debian still doesnt work.. :( Jan 07 21:33:50 running out of idead Jan 07 21:34:02 router problem? Jan 07 21:34:32 switch problem ? Jan 07 21:36:17 hang on... Jan 07 21:36:42 mwester, do you recall something on the debian list about people having these problems, and were reccommended to try it on an etch box? Jan 07 21:37:16 * mwester thinks that it is far easier for someone to learn a few command-line commands to use a torrent client, than it is to find a GUI for an NSLU2 version of a torrent client. Jan 07 21:37:22 Reedy_Boy: Sorry, no. ;( Jan 07 21:37:27 hmm Jan 07 21:37:28 im sure there was Jan 07 21:37:32 to the archives! Jan 07 21:38:03 wheres the archives Jan 07 21:39:08 http://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2008/01/threads.html Jan 07 21:39:18 Thing is Jan 07 21:39:20 i cant remember if it was there Jan 07 21:39:27 or nslu2-general on yaho Jan 07 21:39:29 o Jan 07 21:43:22 Im pretty sure ive seen it soemwhere Jan 07 21:47:23 I'll be cheeky and try emailing Martin Michlmayr Jan 07 21:47:24 found anything yet ? Jan 07 21:47:31 tnx Jan 07 21:47:36 no.. there could be one of 3 lists its on Jan 07 21:47:45 he should be able to at least confirm if i am right Jan 07 21:50:22 bearbear1982: Can you post the URLs for the firmware download that you are using, and the URL for the instructions you are following? Jan 07 21:50:52 * mwester has become very irritated at the debian installer, which seems to be the source of great frustration for many. :( Jan 07 21:51:52 hmm... Its fine in a lot of cases... just seems to have quite a few errors at times :/ Jan 07 21:52:35 mwester http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Jan 07 21:52:48 I'll interrupt my Unslung hacking to take a look at what it is doing; it just seems so very unforgiving to me, but maybe I'm missing somethiing. Jan 07 21:52:54 n theres a link to an unofficial image Jan 07 21:53:03 thats the bin file i use. Jan 07 21:53:43 Ok, there's two bin files there - which one? newest one? Jan 07 21:53:52 yup Jan 07 21:53:57 r02 Jan 07 21:55:22 only real problems i've had with it, was when the installer just didnt work for anyone Jan 07 21:56:15 flashing Jan 07 21:56:22 tnx Jan 07 21:56:39 how do u restore back to ur previous unslung mode? Jan 07 21:56:44 do u hav a backup ? Jan 07 21:58:09 * Reedy_Boy <3's the NSLU2-Linux team :) Jan 07 21:58:11 It's my unslung test nslu2, and it happened to be in the middle of some filesystem testing -- so there's nothing to back up. :) Jan 07 21:59:01 smb seems slow over unslung from xbox...s it worth installing samba3? Jan 07 21:59:21 i was using unslug for abount 5 months Jan 07 21:59:21 booting Jan 07 21:59:29 entering "low memory mode" Jan 07 21:59:35 the only problem i have was with rtorrent Jan 07 21:59:36 it just dhcp'd Jan 07 21:59:40 yours has been fine then.. Jan 07 21:59:41 generating key... Jan 07 21:59:44 daveyboy_, firmware? Jan 07 21:59:46 three beeps Jan 07 22:00:03 6.6 unslung Jan 07 22:00:14 I know I asked this before, but, what's the command to keep the Status/Ready led green under Debian? Jan 07 22:00:15 6.8? Jan 07 22:00:17 My DHCP server has issued an address for it Jan 07 22:00:33 ah... was it in dhcp before tho mwester? Jan 07 22:00:43 yes Jan 07 22:00:45 y didnt it use the static address? Jan 07 22:00:58 mine was static Jan 07 22:00:58 yea Jan 07 22:01:12 ah Jan 07 22:01:19 bearbear1982, have you a dhcp server? Jan 07 22:01:23 no Jan 07 22:01:37 i have a router, n a switch connected to it Jan 07 22:01:50 doesnt the router do DHCP? Jan 07 22:03:07 http://pagesperso-orange.fr/philippe.jounin/tftpd32.html Jan 07 22:03:14 windows dhcp server if you need it Jan 07 22:04:36 ok, the router does dhcp Jan 07 22:04:56 is it enabled? Jan 07 22:05:00 yes Jan 07 22:05:42 was it before? Jan 07 22:05:45 how can i tell what ip the slug has gotten ? Jan 07 22:05:47 it was Jan 07 22:06:03 it was always enables, i just double checked it Jan 07 22:06:11 your router will probably give you a list of ip's connected to it Jan 07 22:06:37 all my pcs r connected to a switch Jan 07 22:06:43 n switch to the router Jan 07 22:06:53 yeah Jan 07 22:06:56 make/model? Jan 07 22:07:07 fritzbox Jan 07 22:07:13 oni 2 cable input Jan 07 22:07:31 * mwester flashes Linksys R63 firmware to set the device to static IP. Jan 07 22:07:39 heh Jan 07 22:07:47 But surely, even if his has gone dhcp Jan 07 22:07:53 it should show up in the arp tables? Jan 07 22:08:20 If you just pull the network cable off , and boot it without a network at all, it will end up at 192.168.1.77 Jan 07 22:09:40 mwester, what do u mean? Jan 07 22:10:00 how can i connect to it if theres no network cable connected? Jan 07 22:10:16 Plug it back in after it has successfully booted, of course! :) Jan 07 22:10:16 mwester, do u have any usb stick connected ? Jan 07 22:10:17 let it boot to the beep with no cable Jan 07 22:10:19 then after Jan 07 22:10:31 will try Jan 07 22:13:22 it worked Jan 07 22:14:18 the USB hub on my slug powers the slug, is that normal? :) Jan 07 22:14:33 deever: yes Jan 07 22:14:53 y does it use the dhcp when i have it set on static ? Jan 07 22:15:08 i dont know.. it would seem to maybe be a bug.. Jan 07 22:15:13 mines always been on the IP i expected Jan 07 22:15:15 mwester: and why? Jan 07 22:15:31 thats reverse Jan 07 22:15:39 usb hub powering slug? Jan 07 22:15:43 not slug powering usb hub? Jan 07 22:16:41 Reedy_Boy: no, i can unplug the slug from its power cable and it continues running! :) Jan 07 22:16:48 yeah Jan 07 22:16:52 thats what im meaning... Jan 07 22:17:12 but why is that so? Jan 07 22:18:11 presumably the slug is drawing power from the usb hub Jan 07 22:19:54 Ok, static works fine as well. Jan 07 22:20:18 bearbear1982: I can only assume that you may have not filled out all of the fields when setting the static address for your NSLU2 in the Unslung/Linksys firmware. Jan 07 22:20:31 yes but i'd like it when the hub powered my bus-powered 2.5' instead of the slug... Jan 07 22:21:05 deever: There is no electrical isolation between the USB power line and the Slug's power line internally -- this is probably a design flaw, in some way. Jan 07 22:21:08 haha Jan 07 22:21:58 deever: Normally a powered hub will isolate it's upstream from the downstream, so it seems that your hub *ALSO* suffers from a design flaw in this area. Jan 07 22:23:38 mwester: and how do i get powered my 2.5' harddisc? Jan 07 22:24:05 by using another hub? Jan 07 22:24:28 guys i cant connect to admin on slung.... can access it with user.pass from xbox, but xp keeps moaning about 2 many conections/mnot have permison Jan 07 22:24:57 deever: by using a powered hub. Jan 07 22:25:17 deever: there isn't enough power available to power both the hub as well as the downstream devices. Jan 07 22:27:32 anyones any ideas of how to connect? Jan 07 22:27:43 mwester: i fill in all the details needed, including the ip, gateway, dns server Jan 07 22:27:54 wat other things did i miss Jan 07 22:29:47 mwester: do you know such a device by name? Jan 07 22:30:15 i can't find any in the local computer shop Jan 07 22:31:36 ive just bought a DUB-H4 - Dlink 4 port usb hub Jan 07 22:32:17 bearbear1982: Is the static IP 192.168.1.77 ? Jan 07 22:32:23 yes Jan 07 22:32:38 Try changing that to 192.168.1.78 instead Jan 07 22:32:43 ok Jan 07 22:32:50 will do tht nxt time Jan 07 22:34:12 Reedy_Boy: thx Jan 07 22:34:14 I changed my static IP to 192.168.1.77, and it DHCP'd for some very odd reason. Jan 07 22:34:24 :S Jan 07 22:34:28 hehe Jan 07 22:34:29 ok Jan 07 22:34:30 Sounds like a bug to me Jan 07 22:34:36 tht solve my problem Jan 07 22:34:41 tnx for the help Jan 07 22:35:07 Yeah, somebody needs to alert the debian folks of that problem. Jan 07 22:35:31 I'll post it if you want... Jan 07 22:35:53 (it may be more complicated than just that, but it definitely DHCP'd when I told it to do static, and stopped DHCPing when I changed the IP to 192.168.1.78) Jan 07 22:35:56 Its recieving IP address from DHCP rather than the statically assigend one Jan 07 22:36:14 Well, more than just receiving, it's erroneously asking. Jan 07 22:36:23 mwester, maybe so, but it gives martin/others a reasonable starting point Jan 07 22:37:05 so on a statically assigned IP of 1.77 its dhcp'ing, anything else statically assigned its fine? Jan 07 22:37:22 That's true. It's very possible that they missed it because they set up their routers to issue the 192.168.1.77 IP to that MAC address via DHCP. Jan 07 22:38:03 hmm Jan 07 22:38:29 Presumably, they wont have set it up to purposely ask for an ip if its already on the "default" Jan 07 22:38:41 That's how I set up my network as well; it saves a lot of time when testing. Jan 07 22:39:01 i be Jan 07 22:39:02 bet Jan 07 22:39:17 just incase it went awol on IP's, dhcp puts it back on track? Jan 07 22:39:19 That way you test DHCP and static, but your NSLU2 is always at the same address, so you never lose it. Jan 07 22:40:23 Anyway, I'm going to reset my NSLU2, unsling it again, and go back to beating on fuse. Jan 07 22:40:28 heh Jan 07 22:40:35 good work mwester :) Jan 07 22:41:19 tnx guys Jan 07 22:42:26 I'll post it on the debian-arm mailing list, rather than as a debian bug.. As it may be a bug with Martins image, and he'll direct me as such if needed :) Jan 07 23:15:35 I know I asked this before, but, what's the command to keep the Status/Ready led green under Debian? Jan 07 23:16:30 mwester will probably know... and i should make a not of it when i find out Jan 07 23:18:33 guys can anyone help me out with samba 3 install... not 100% sure i got this right: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Samba Jan 07 23:20:17 got 2 second to last step. now it seems that samba has stopped running as i cant access any of my drives :S Jan 08 00:00:41 No way of having sendmail working on the slug, right? It's recommended qmail, correct? Jan 08 01:47:32 Hi Jan 08 01:48:36 I have installed slugos-4.8, it work fine but when i want run chroot in USB-disk its dot boot Jan 08 01:49:04 can help me? Jan 08 01:49:43 You'll have to be a bit more clear with what you are doing. What do you mean by chroot in USB-disk? Jan 08 01:51:17
