Feb 04 07:51:56 <____cobra> how easy would it be to have glftpd on a NSLU2 ?
Feb 04 07:52:10 <____cobra> http://youtube.com/watch?v=WFfKsHvXCpU
Feb 04 08:39:02 <____cobra> would a NSLU2 fit into a car stereo ?
Feb 04 13:08:18 <koomi> mornings.
Feb 04 13:08:57 <koomi> i'm using openwrt with the optware packages. after ipkg update && ipkg upgrade i got error: busybox-links.postinst returned 127 and now my box feels severly broken (http://phpfi.com/294302)
Feb 04 15:40:52 <koomi> reflashed my asus wl500gp with openwrt, added optware feeds, played around and now ipkg update ends with: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable/
Feb 04 15:40:56 <koomi> errm
Feb 04 15:41:03 <koomi> ipkg_update_cmd: ERROR: /opt/lib/ipkg/lists exists, but is not a directory
Feb 04 15:41:24 <koomi> i've no idea what to do now so any hints would be great
Feb 04 16:05:34 <koomi> just for the log: switching package repositories is not such a good idea. i reinstalled ipkg-opt using /usr/bin/ipgk and now the update works again
Feb 04 18:27:10 <daveyboy_> hey guys
Feb 04 19:43:57 <fatmike> hi
Feb 04 19:44:07 <fatmike> i installed rtorrent on my openwrt
Feb 04 19:44:11 <fatmike> works perfect
Feb 04 19:44:20 <fatmike> but i cannot connect to https trackers
Feb 04 20:01:17 <widrone> (thinking out loud) it is compiled with https support in? 
Feb 04 20:06:14 <fatmike> think so
Feb 04 20:06:18 <fatmike> unfortuanetely didn't compile it by myself
Feb 04 20:08:27 <widrone> then maybe it needs some other package installed aswell to make it work? Soundds like its binary packages. 
Feb 04 20:08:41 <fatmike> yes it is
Feb 04 20:08:47 <fatmike> install openssl as well
Feb 04 20:09:05 <fatmike> but i think i have to configure it properly
Feb 04 20:09:26 <widrone> Always a good start ;)
Feb 04 20:09:44 <Reedy_Boy> I think openssl is a dependancy
Feb 04 20:10:17 <fatmike> it is
Feb 04 20:10:41 <fatmike> put how can i add root cas for verifying certs?
Feb 04 20:11:27 <barnseen1o> Reedy_Boy: about?
Feb 04 20:11:33 <Reedy_Boy> ya#
Feb 04 20:11:51 <barnseen1o> got 2 mins for a quick chat?
Feb 04 20:11:56 <Reedy_Boy> yeah
Feb 04 20:14:04 <Reedy_Boy> ..

Feb 04 20:15:43 <Reedy_Boy> feel fre

Feb 04 20:45:57 <_-rob> I have just got my slu2 plugged it in and I can not connect to it.
Feb 04 20:46:25 <_-rob> I downed my eth0 and up'd it with 192.168.1.25 netmask 255.255.255.0
Feb 04 20:46:38 <_-rob> but then I can not ping 192.186.1.77
Feb 04 20:46:54 <_-rob> the status and eth lights are on on the slu2
Feb 04 20:47:10 <_-rob> and the hub is lit for the port the slu2 is on
Feb 04 20:47:31 <_-rob> is there anyway to get the slu2 (default firmware) to use DHCP ?
Feb 04 20:47:44 <Reedy_Boy> if you boot it with no cable attached
Feb 04 20:47:49 <Reedy_Boy> it will boot onto 1.77
Feb 04 20:47:58 <_-rob> once I connect to the thing then I can start thinking about which firmware to use
Feb 04 20:48:28 <_-rob> I did a two second reset to force the IP to 1.77
Feb 04 20:48:59 <_-rob> manual said it would take mins to boot but took seconds, I have yet to attach usb storage
Feb 04 20:48:59 <mwester> ? which two-second reset?
Feb 04 20:49:38 <_-rob> held pencil in reset point as per linksys manual after two seconds removed and beeped it beeped OK
Feb 04 20:50:12 <_-rob> If the Network Storage Link's IP Address is lost, press and hold this button for two
Feb 04 20:50:12 <_-rob> seconds. The IP Address will be set to the default value of 192.168.1.77 and it will
Feb 04 20:50:12 <_-rob> beep once to indicate the reset has occurred.
Feb 04 20:50:35 <_-rob> it also has a ten second factory reset option.
Feb 04 20:50:57 <mwester> Ok.  Then it's at 192.168.1.77.  Point your browser there, go to the admin page, and it up to get an address from DHCP.
Feb 04 20:51:13 <mwester> s/and it up/and set it up/
Feb 04 20:51:17 <_-rob> times out, ping fails
Feb 04 20:51:43 <mwester> Then do the factory reset, power it off, and try again.
Feb 04 20:51:46 <_-rob> all I need to do is down my eth0 and up' it with a 192.168.1.x address + mask right ?
Feb 04 20:52:03 <mwester> down what eth0?
Feb 04 20:52:16 <_-rob> my linux machines network card
Feb 04 20:52:44 <mwester> Oh.  Depends.  You may need to mess with routes, or even your router, depending on your network setup.
Feb 04 20:53:23 <widrone> try addin aliases if you got a working eth0 in your regular machine, so not to muck that up too 
Feb 04 20:53:29 <mwester> If your network is something other than 192.168.1.x, then boot the NSLU2 all the way up without any ethernet cable to make sure that it isn't doing DHCP.
Feb 04 20:53:31 <_-rob> Should the slu2 boot process be seconds or minutes ? (with nothing attached storage wise)
Feb 04 20:54:10 <mwester> Dunno about the slu2, but the nslu2 boots without disks in a minute or two, depending on the internal CPU speed.
Feb 04 20:54:24 <_-rob> sorry ment the nsul2
Feb 04 20:54:45 <_-rob> let me try the cable unplug ...
Feb 04 20:54:51 * _-rob will be back ...
Feb 04 21:31:27 <davconvent> trying to install debian, I'm stuck at the point of installing initramfs-tools, any document that could help me?
Feb 04 21:32:01 <davconvent> if not, is there a way to reflash the firmware while booted with the debian installer?
Feb 04 21:33:40 <_-rob> mwester: it has taken me over an hour, I even setup a private LAN b4 I realised my iptables was stopping any traffic on 192.168.1.x
Feb 04 21:33:49 * _-rob hangs head in shame
Feb 04 23:43:30 <DrJ> question: Is it a good/bad idea to use a flash drive for swap? I have slugosbe and considering using an unused 256MB flash drive just for swap
Feb 04 23:44:17 <Reedy_Boy> people do
Feb 04 23:44:23 <Reedy_Boy> Its fairly fast
Feb 04 23:44:34 <Reedy_Boy> just be aware it could die - but you will get a reasonable life out of it
Feb 04 23:45:13 <DrJ> yea, that's why I thought it may be a bad idea
Feb 04 23:45:19 <DrJ> could kill it fast with all the read/writes
Feb 04 23:45:33 <DrJ> but the thing is only worth like $1
Feb 04 23:45:58 <Reedy_Boy> yeah
Feb 04 23:46:16 <Reedy_Boy> they will do 100 of thousands of cycles fine
Feb 04 23:48:10 <DrJ> I think I will do it
Feb 04 23:48:15 <DrJ> since it should be much faster than the hd
Feb 04 23:48:40 <DrJ> haven't used this flash drive for 2-3 years
Feb 04 23:48:55 <DrJ> paid $50 for the 256MB, now for $50 you can get 4GB
Feb 04 23:51:22 <Reedy_Boy> heh
