**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jan 12 02:59:57 2008 Jan 12 11:55:49 I have a problem: Running Slugosbe I recently ipkg-opt rtorrent and now I get error (Unread data won't fit PCB's read buffer) when adding torrent. It worked a while ago, and from what I can see only a new libtorrent (jan) version is in the http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/slugosbe/cross/unstable/ Jan 12 17:19:53 help Jan 12 17:26:43 Dr_J, ? Jan 12 17:29:16 I'm installing slugos Jan 12 17:29:20 I'm at the fdisk point Jan 12 17:29:51 I type fdisk /dev/sda Jan 12 17:30:12 what's next Jan 12 17:30:57 presuambly your trying to partiton the hard drive? Jan 12 17:31:03 yea Jan 12 17:31:18 make some partitions then i suspect ;) Jan 12 17:31:45 yes, but its only allowing me to make partition 1 like 9964M Jan 12 17:32:20 how bigs the drive? Jan 12 17:32:24 80GB Jan 12 17:32:47 and you want the boot partition more than 10gb?? Jan 12 17:32:55 oh Jan 12 17:34:28 have you tried just making it smaller? Jan 12 17:35:51 okay, I'm on the last partition Jan 12 17:35:58 how do I tell it to just use all the rest of the space Jan 12 17:36:05 it should default to that Jan 12 17:36:18 when it asks for first cylinder, it should default to first available Jan 12 17:36:27 and when it asks for last cyl it should default to last available Jan 12 17:38:11 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System Jan 12 17:38:19 /dev/sda1 1 3000 24097468+ 83 Linux Jan 12 17:38:24 /dev/sda2 3001 3769 6176992+ 83 Linux Jan 12 17:38:31 /dev/sda3 3770 9964 49761337+ 83 Linux Jan 12 17:38:34 does that look good Jan 12 17:38:53 what are those, OS, /var, and data?

Fdisk will give the available first cylinder, just accept it, and choose a size o 768M. This will be our swap partition (Very, very large). Jan 12 17:48:15 wikis are not always right ;) Jan 12 17:48:27 you will be fine anyhow Jan 12 17:48:31 but its not going to affect anything being large is it? Jan 12 17:48:38 not really Jan 12 17:48:43 didn't think so Jan 12 17:48:45 * Dr_J moves on Jan 12 17:48:53 just was wasting space before Jan 12 17:49:20 eh, I never went over 40GB usage before Jan 12 17:49:26 so I'm not too concerned Jan 12 17:49:47 well move on then =) Jan 12 17:49:58 The partition table has been altered!

Jan 12 17:57:07 how long does it take to copy the filesystem over? Jan 12 17:57:19 nvm Jan 12 17:57:21 depends how big it is eh Jan 12 17:59:12 root@CUBS:~$ swapon /dev/sda2 Jan 12 17:59:12 swapon: /dev/sda2: Device or resource busy Jan 12 17:59:49 is it already activated?

Jan 12 19:47:51 its the entire file server Jan 12 19:47:58 \\192.168.2.100\ Jan 12 19:47:59 you don't have ssh on it? Jan 12 19:48:05 at that point it asks for the password Jan 12 19:48:06 that was your only way to access it? Jan 12 19:48:14 I have ssh Jan 12 19:48:18 this has nothing to do with ssh Jan 12 19:48:22 I'm talking about samba Jan 12 19:48:33 i know what you're talking about, you don't know what i'm talking about.. Jan 12 19:48:38 :) Jan 12 19:48:45 in the samba share, add a public = yes option Jan 12 19:48:48 okay, you know how in windows you go to network explorer Jan 12 19:48:52 when I go to the nslu2 server Jan 12 19:49:00 and if you want to be ab le to just browse the root of your machine also browseable = yes Jan 12 19:49:44 lol Jan 12 19:49:51 ? Jan 12 19:50:11 don't see those options in swat Jan 12 19:50:12 just reading back through the convo Jan 12 19:50:16 :) Jan 12 19:50:19 yea sorry Jan 12 19:50:26 DrJ, easiest to do it straight wtih text file ;) Jan 12 19:50:27 I get agressive when fustrated Jan 12 19:50:28 i don't know, i don't use swat Jan 12 19:50:33 it's far easier to just edit the smb.conf Jan 12 19:51:10 anyone know where the ether-wake package in openwrt has gone off to? Jan 12 19:51:20 so put browseable = yes in global? Jan 12 19:51:25 no Jan 12 19:51:27 in the share definition Jan 12 19:52:02 nope, still wants pass Jan 12 19:52:02 and either public = yes or guest ok = yes, if you don't want a password.. Jan 12 19:52:08 see above Jan 12 19:52:14 I have guest ok yes Jan 12 19:52:32 in global what is guest account set to? Jan 12 19:52:47 not set Jan 12 19:52:58 guest account = nobody Jan 12 19:53:14 uhm Jan 12 19:53:23 you did restart samba after editing the config, right? Jan 12 19:53:28 yes Jan 12 19:53:31 ok =) Jan 12 19:53:33 still wants pass Jan 12 19:53:43 do you want to see my config Jan 12 19:53:59 not really Jan 12 19:54:01 heh Jan 12 19:54:20 hmm Jan 12 19:54:42 and if you browse to \\ip\sharename ? Jan 12 19:55:15 and do you have security = user ? Jan 12 19:55:16 brings up pass Jan 12 19:55:21 in global? Jan 12 19:55:24 yep Jan 12 19:55:25 or share Jan 12 19:55:55 global.. Jan 12 19:56:02 added Jan 12 19:56:04 still wants pass Jan 12 19:56:16 shouldn't you have a password on it anyway tho? Jan 12 19:56:20 but still, it shouldn't ask for one Jan 12 19:56:29 one sec Jan 12 19:56:43 [media] Jan 12 19:56:43 comment = Media Share Jan 12 19:56:43 path = /home/media Jan 12 19:56:47 guest ok = yes Jan 12 19:56:51 browseable = yes Jan 12 19:56:55 i can browse that, no pass Jan 12 19:57:46 okay, maybe I am editing the wrong file Jan 12 19:57:51 doh Jan 12 19:57:56 which would make me feel like a complete idiot Jan 12 19:58:01 heh Jan 12 19:59:15 ah Jan 12 19:59:16 got it Jan 12 19:59:25 I was editing the right file Jan 12 19:59:33 it's working now? Jan 12 19:59:36 but I got it working by copying the example config from website Jan 12 19:59:42 well there you go Jan 12 19:59:48 now I just tweak this to my likeing Jan 12 19:59:51 swat probably had it all buggered up Jan 12 19:59:55 be back in about 10 minutes when I screw it up Jan 12 19:59:59 heh Jan 12 20:00:04 oh wow Jan 12 20:00:04 :) Jan 12 20:00:14 i totally was misreading these power consumption measurements Jan 12 20:00:18 oh btw Jan 12 20:00:22 cups Jan 12 20:00:22 i was reading the ones from teh mains side of the power supply Jan 12 20:00:26 I can't seem to get that working either Jan 12 20:00:35 these things only draw like 0.6 amp under full load on the 5V side Jan 12 20:00:46 it appears to be running, but I can't get to :631 Jan 12 20:00:53 this thing is gonna work well in my car after all Jan 12 20:01:16 lsof -p on the pid of the cups process and see if it's listening Jan 12 20:01:36 what the heck firmware are you using? Jan 12 20:01:50 lsof not found Jan 12 20:01:57 slugosbe Jan 12 20:02:00 ah Jan 12 20:02:10 donno then Jan 12 20:02:13 :) Jan 12 20:02:24 i would just ipkg install lsof =P Jan 12 20:02:54 oh look Jan 12 20:02:55 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/InstallCups Jan 12 20:02:57 there's a wiki Jan 12 20:02:58 page Jan 12 20:03:00 yep Jan 12 20:03:01 * DrJ will try that Jan 12 20:03:09 these things are pretty well documented Jan 12 20:03:57 wonder how efficient dc to dc converters are Jan 12 20:04:19 i was involved in a discussion with someone about this before Jan 12 20:04:20 lol Jan 12 20:04:34 reedy: powering under battery power? Jan 12 20:04:58 we were discussing power consumption, and various things Jan 12 20:05:29 what i'm wondering is if it's feasible to leave in on in my car 24x7 or if i would need to get a beefier alternator and a secondary, deep cycle accessory battery Jan 12 20:05:51 i think people that have used it in their car Jan 12 20:06:04 yeah, but did they leave it on all the time when the car wasn't running? Jan 12 20:06:08 hang on Jan 12 20:06:41 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/CarPuter Jan 12 20:06:44 what would be ideal is if it could stay on, with wireless, so i could access it from home/work Jan 12 20:06:50 lol Jan 12 20:06:59 people have used seperate batteries and such... Jan 12 20:07:05 I think people set it up to boot up when IGN was on Jan 12 20:07:11 hey Jan 12 20:07:12 The cups init script can be found in /opt/doc/cups/S88cups. You just have to alter 2 lines: Jan 12 20:07:13 i've already got demand dial ppp via my cell phone set up Jan 12 20:07:16 there is no /opt dir Jan 12 20:07:33 so if anyone on wireless tries to get out to the internet, it demand dials via cell phone. works great. Jan 12 20:07:59 drj: /opt is from optware eh Jan 12 20:08:14 yea well its in the openslug wiki Jan 12 20:08:30 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/InstallCups <--step 3 Jan 12 20:08:50 1. Download necessary packages Jan 12 20:08:50 Easiest way to do this is to follow the instructions on bootstrapping optware at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Slugosbe. Jan 12 20:08:53 did you do that? Jan 12 20:09:07 no Jan 12 20:09:16 I was as lost as lost could be there Jan 12 20:09:27 well you need to... Jan 12 20:09:30 so I figured, heh...I'll skip this Jan 12 20:09:32 no optware, no /opt Jan 12 20:09:41 they didn't just say that for fun tho Jan 12 20:09:52 reedy: yeah, i read that page, they don't say if it's always on or not Jan 12 20:09:54 :) Jan 12 20:10:03 so we're back to the Jan 12 20:10:05 I'm lost part Jan 12 20:10:31 but they give you exactly what you need to do.. Jan 12 20:11:12 I just type all those lines? Jan 12 20:11:20 looks that way Jan 12 20:11:49 looks valid enough.. never tried it, on openwrt i just installed ipkg-opt Jan 12 20:12:29 oh crappers Jan 12 20:12:38 root@CUBS:~$ /opt/bin/ipkg install ... Jan 12 20:12:38 sh: Syntax error: redirection unexpected Jan 12 20:12:38 root@CUBS:~$ Jan 12 20:12:42 error on the last line Jan 12 20:12:47 oh christ Jan 12 20:12:55 they are telling you how to install packages with it... Jan 12 20:13:23 /opt/bin/ipkg is what will install optware stuff Jan 12 20:13:23 oh? Jan 12 20:13:29 instead of /usr/bin/ipkg Jan 12 20:13:37 oh Jan 12 20:13:39 if you have it, then you're done Jan 12 20:13:40 * DrJ sees Jan 12 20:13:44 see, I wasn't reading the lines Jan 12 20:13:48 just copying and pasting Jan 12 20:13:57 not a good idea usually especially as root Jan 12 20:14:58 if you used openwrt you could just install the packages via a web interface =) Jan 12 20:15:21 is openwrt good? Jan 12 20:15:26 i like it so far Jan 12 20:15:38 i like it because it's small Jan 12 20:15:44 uses uClibc rather than glibc Jan 12 20:16:19 unslung has ipkg-web and you can do the same ;) Jan 12 20:21:30 Then place the init script next to the others in /etc/init.d and create symlinks in the /etc/rcX.d directory for each runlevel you want cups to run under. Jan 12 20:21:32 not a clue what that means Jan 12 20:21:58 reedy: yeah, but unslung is too big for me =) Jan 12 20:22:05 i want my whole setup to operate off internal flash Jan 12 20:22:12 and have /opt be just that, optional Jan 12 20:22:34 drj: it's pretty much like setting up init scripts on any other system Jan 12 20:23:45 omg Jan 12 20:23:50 how in the world did that happen Jan 12 20:26:44 o Jan 12 20:26:45 m Jan 12 20:26:45 g Jan 12 20:26:47 it works Jan 12 20:26:52 heh Jan 12 20:26:57 there you go then Jan 12 20:27:13 I don't understand though Jan 12 20:27:19 I'm not suppose to be able to figure out this crap Jan 12 20:27:50 RTFM often works.. Jan 12 20:28:02 now for the big test Jan 12 20:28:05 can I get my printer to work Jan 12 20:28:20 oh yea Jan 12 20:28:24 one prob though Jan 12 20:28:39 Cannot find package libssl0.9.7.

Jan 12 21:08:09 latest Java Runtime Environment not working? Jan 12 21:10:41 thats it Jan 12 21:10:44 forget this crap Jan 12 21:10:48 I'm going back to unslung Jan 12 21:11:06 bah openwrt ;) Jan 12 21:11:22 I'll run into the same issue there Jan 12 21:11:40 well you did install something that for advanced users only =P Jan 12 21:11:41 DrJ, your probably just missing a library Jan 12 21:11:55 why a parallel backend? Jan 12 21:12:01 no, I'm missing a hammer to turn my nslu2 into little tiny pieces Jan 12 21:12:04 are you using a usb parallel adapter? Jan 12 21:12:15 teletype, I have no idea Jan 12 21:12:17 all I know Jan 12 21:12:20 is with unslung Jan 12 21:12:25 this basically works out of the box Jan 12 21:12:37 well if that works for you do it Jan 12 21:13:03 i just thought unslung was too bloated Jan 12 21:13:07 me too Jan 12 21:13:15 I don't want to go back Jan 12 21:13:25 Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on Jan 12 21:13:25 I can alreayd see performance increases Jan 12 21:13:35 DrJ, printer? Jan 12 21:13:37 /dev/mtdblock5 5.4M 2.7M 2.7M 50% /jffs Jan 12 21:13:40 yes Jan 12 21:13:45 that's with everything i need for my car setup too Jan 12 21:13:53 What printer Jan 12 21:14:02 I always just used the default one that is installed Jan 12 21:14:07 but my first issue is logging in Jan 12 21:14:29 problem starts with a package missing Jan 12 21:14:48 libssl0.9.7 Jan 12 21:14:57 so disable ssl or install it? Jan 12 21:15:35 then when I do that Jan 12 21:15:43 disable Jan 12 21:15:43 I can't login Jan 12 21:16:01 isn't that a seperate issue then? Jan 12 21:16:42 Mine didnt install a printer by default.. Jan 12 21:17:00 that hp990 Jan 12 21:17:02 or whatever Jan 12 21:17:20 mine didnt.. Jan 12 21:17:21 lol Jan 12 21:17:55 I can't remove that printer either Jan 12 21:18:01 because I have to login, still, to do that Jan 12 21:18:03 and guess what Jan 12 21:18:13 NO FREAKING LOGIN WORKS Jan 12 21:18:50 work out how you can add users to the groups Jan 12 21:18:55 presumably it'll be in the wiki Jan 12 21:20:01 anybody familiar w/upslug2? Jan 12 21:20:45 vaguely. whats up? Jan 12 21:21:23 Reedy_Boy: would it be prudent to flash a vanilla slug when the IP address is unknown? Jan 12 21:21:46 vanilla being stock/straight from box? Jan 12 21:22:15 Reedy_Boy: well previously owned. vanilla to me.. Jan 12 21:22:39 if its got the linksys firmware on.. you can use the reset button to reset the IP address back to default Jan 12 21:22:53 Makes life easier than trying to go finding it after, if its taken DHCP, or even not on your subnet Jan 12 21:23:26 Reedy_Boy: well i'd prefer the 192.168.0.x octet rather than the linksys default.. Jan 12 21:23:32 yeah Jan 12 21:23:40 do you know what firmware is on it? Jan 12 21:24:39 Reedy_Boy: well i was able to see the device using the linksys software and browser. it just didn't seem to provide IP Jan 12 21:25:15 ok, if you can see it with the linksys software, i think you can use it to set an IP address Jan 12 21:25:25 I'd do that and put it on one you want Jan 12 21:27:54 Reedy_Boy: two factors.. at the time i was on a network 192.168.1.x octet network. haven't had much success detecting in my home network as the octet is different. i've tried changing IP on my notebook interfaces. Jan 12 21:28:33 Reedy_Boy: to no avail. so i thought about just flashing the slug. Jan 12 21:29:25 Reedy_Boy: using upslug2, then using upslug2 to set an IP. not sure if upslug works that way tho. docs don't explicitly state that. Jan 12 21:29:26 Linux or windows? Jan 12 21:29:39 upslug2 wont set an IP Jan 12 21:29:43 Reedy_Boy: Linux of course ;) Jan 12 21:29:51 it wll only let you flash it Jan 12 21:30:02 in windows, and presumably in linux, you can add an alternate IP address Jan 12 21:30:06 to a network adapter Jan 12 21:30:16 Reedy_Boy: ok. Jan 12 21:31:00 if you really dont know where it is, the linksys manual tells you how to reset ip/admin password (press reset button for 10 seconds?) Jan 12 21:31:08 and then you can get access and set the IP as you want Jan 12 21:31:09 Reedy_Boy: well i've got two. i tried changing both to the 192.168.1.x.. no luck[ Jan 12 21:31:21 weird Jan 12 21:32:37 Reedy_Boy: so if i press reset button for 10 sec it will likely reset IP to default.. same situation.. Jan 12 21:32:51 hmm Jan 12 21:33:06 well, whatever way, i wouldnt reccommend reflashing it if you have no IP control over it currently Jan 12 21:33:21 Reedy_Boy: makes sense.. Jan 12 21:33:25 :) Jan 12 21:33:32 just weird why it cant seem to find it Jan 12 21:33:38 what IP did you set the adapter to? Jan 12 21:34:15 Reedy_Boy: i used 192.168.1.10 Jan 12 21:34:25 subnet mask? Jan 12 21:34:43 Reedy_Boy: and 255.255.255.0 Jan 12 21:35:00 so shoul've been fine if it was on default IP Jan 12 21:35:10 but indeed, it seems like it may not be on that subnet Jan 12 21:35:18 as i think the linksys tool can find it on any.. Jan 12 21:36:03 Reedy_Boy: what if there is no IP? i must then reset it to default then try to find it by changing IP to 192.168.1.x. Jan 12 21:36:17 yeah Jan 12 21:36:22 have you a dhcp server setup? Jan 12 21:36:40 Reedy_Boy: ok.. nope DHCP is not alive on my LAN Jan 12 21:36:48 hmm Jan 12 21:37:04 as that may be another test, if its on dynamic, see if a dhcp server picks it up somewhere Jan 12 21:37:56 Reedy_Boy: I'm going to reset it now. lemme find a paper clip. Jan 12 21:42:16 Reedy_Boy: i'd also heard that you connect directly to the slug via ethernet interface Jan 12 21:42:26 sorry? Jan 12 21:42:44 Reedy_Boy: that is w/o going thru switch and no null cable. Jan 12 21:43:33 it sometimes helps, sometimes it works fine with it via switch Jan 12 21:44:34 Reedy_Boy: well, i'm going to continue to hack it. thx for the help. Jan 12 22:13:44 guys, prob with rtorrent, when its downloaded file to /share/hdd/data/torrent/ i canta ccess file via network. says permision issues.... someone mentioned chmod....any clues?
