Feb 12 11:12:04 <Nuisance-Value> hello I'm trying to run mldonkey on a unslung. I've installed it via ipkg. But it doesn't seem to have a startup script. Should it have one?
Feb 12 15:29:29 <Bassetts> Hi, I am trying to put debian on my nslu2 using the tar package but it is just sitting with the status light as orange and eth as green, am I just being impatient (its been like that 10-15mins)
Feb 12 18:33:12 <daveyboy_> hey guys.
Feb 12 18:52:41 <daveyboy_> eno u about.... had 2 reflash debian on slug, now got to get samba working again. doh

Feb 12 19:59:00 <daveyboy_> ha well its ok, i had 2 reflash with debian because of that 2hdd boot kernal line. nice... just getting it back. followed instructions for just that section u did and still no joy
Feb 12 20:05:45 <daveyboy_> would a future verison of debian fix the issue?
Feb 12 20:06:42 <Reedy_Boy> presumably, its listed as a kernel bug isnt it?
Feb 12 20:09:23 <daveyboy_> yea think so. good will just wait to tehn. took me to long to get stuff back. just getting rtottent up nd running again
Feb 12 20:10:21 <daveyboy_> u got ure rtorrent config to hand? lost mine abnd havign to write it again
Feb 12 20:14:56 <Reedy_Boy> i can get it

Feb 12 21:22:08 <Reedy_Boy> i mean peak time bandwith
Feb 12 21:23:26 <daveyboy_> ah right. just saw a line in your rtorrent config file and wondered if it was anything to do with that
Feb 12 21:28:36 <daveyboy_> whats default user and pass for swat again?
Feb 12 21:29:37 <Reedy_Boy> root/password
Feb 12 21:29:44 <Reedy_Boy> Yeah, but the line doesnt work
Feb 12 21:31:39 <daveyboy_> right. well so far got rtorrent up and running, think ntorrent aint working yet. followed same guide but obviously missed something didint u have to restart a service? lighttpd or something?got samba working 
Feb 12 21:45:01 <daveyboy_> can someone test yeawhatever.dyndns.org for me... think images are taking while to load, any way of improving speed (using lighttpd)
Feb 12 21:47:25 <WanderingII> davey images are find for me loading wise
Feb 12 21:49:34 <daveyboy_> good stuff :)
Feb 12 21:49:36 <daveyboy_> cheers
Feb 12 21:52:25 <WanderingII> np
Feb 12 21:52:55 <Reedy_Boy> daveyboy_, how auto cad proficient are you?
Feb 12 21:57:59 <daveyboy_> autocad..... fairly. but my specialy is 3D cad. thats what i did degree ina dn work as cad draftsman now
Feb 12 21:58:02 <daveyboy_> why?
Feb 12 22:02:49 <WanderingII> hes lookin a cheap architect lol
Feb 12 22:03:26 <WanderingII> davey ever use pro desktop?
Feb 12 22:04:01 <daveyboy_> lol yes i have... pro desktop is the baby brother of pro engineer (that i certified in)... pro desktop is aimed at schools and colledges to get ppl into cad
Feb 12 22:05:37 <daveyboy_> lol random night for cad.... asked friend to check website and he mentioned how school he works for also lookign at cad, and migth have bit of consulatcy work there ;) NICE.... ow u know about pro desktop anyway>
Feb 12 22:05:41 <WanderingII> yea used to use it for a levels. liked it but you had to spend so much time to get real intricate stuff
Feb 12 22:06:44 <daveyboy_> yea pro e is ok. but its not very intuative.... its increadibly powerfull but written by people who dont have any comunication skills, so u can end up spending hors trying to sort a problem that if u knew about takes 2 secs
Feb 12 22:06:56 <WanderingII> lol yea good point
Feb 12 22:07:09 <WanderingII> used to model circuits and pcbs inside housings with it
Feb 12 22:07:16 <WanderingII> made my stuff look class
Feb 12 22:07:31 <daveyboy_> ohh sounds nice. any screeenshots?
Feb 12 22:08:00 <WanderingII> doubt it long time ago
Feb 12 22:08:16 <daveyboy_> i used pro desktop for my alevels.w as first real taste of CAD. our teacher was old school and had no idea so I ended up teaching class.... oh the fun times eh :D
Feb 12 22:10:31 <Reedy_Boy> pro desktop is ok.. but pants
Feb 12 22:11:38 <daveyboy_> lol yup
Feb 12 22:12:05 <daveyboy_> they stripped out to much functionality. still it serves its purpose... gets ppl into cad.
Feb 12 22:12:14 <Reedy_Boy> i used it for 2 years
Feb 12 22:12:17 <Reedy_Boy> aint touched it since
Feb 12 22:12:22 <daveyboy_> what for?
Feb 12 22:12:26 <Reedy_Boy> "2 years" ie GCSE electronics
Feb 12 22:12:55 <daveyboy_> lol electronics.!!! ha i love how they use it for that... kinda totally wrong package for that
Feb 12 22:13:02 <daveyboy_> where in uk u from anyway?
Feb 12 22:13:12 <Reedy_Boy> im near york
Feb 12 22:13:21 <Reedy_Boy> We used it for product casing
Feb 12 22:13:26 <daveyboy_> oh yea we already had this
Feb 12 22:13:27 <Reedy_Boy> not for board design ;)
Feb 12 22:13:34 <daveyboy_> lol good job
Feb 12 22:13:45 <daveyboy_> just imagined some stupid teacher getting u to design ure pcbs
Feb 12 22:13:47 <Reedy_Boy> No, regarding the autocad.. My dad asked if i knew anyone who was autocad proficient
Feb 12 22:14:04 <Reedy_Boy> Nah, he was an ex army electronic something or other
Feb 12 22:14:30 <daveyboy_> you can tell him that i am. use it all time at work. depending on the job, i might just return the favour i owe for all ure slug help :
Feb 12 22:14:31 <daveyboy_> :D
Feb 12 22:14:52 <Reedy_Boy> daveyboy_, its not my dads company.. so it would be paid work :P
Feb 12 22:15:01 <Reedy_Boy> well, he's the MD, but he doesnt own it
Feb 12 22:15:02 <daveyboy_> even better. bring it on
Feb 12 22:15:19 <Reedy_Boy> heh
Feb 12 22:15:31 <daveyboy_> im leaving my old job friday (so will be robbing all designs i done if he wants to see any of work i done)
Feb 12 22:15:33 <Reedy_Boy> He was on about upgrading it and such.. As they're on an ancient 2000 version IIRC
Feb 12 22:15:54 <Reedy_Boy> im not exactly sure what he wants.. I mean, i know the systems there better than anyone
Feb 12 22:16:06 <Reedy_Boy> I've "used" autocad and the workflow/document management system they use
Feb 12 22:16:17 <Reedy_Boy> I dunno.. I'll speak to him tommorow and see what he was after
Feb 12 22:16:25 <daveyboy_> no probs. ill be about.
Feb 12 22:17:44 <Reedy_Boy> i mean, he is right
Feb 12 22:17:49 <Reedy_Boy> they do need a newer version..
Feb 12 22:18:02 <Reedy_Boy> but the management system for the drawings ALSO needs sorting...
Feb 12 22:18:25 <daveyboy_> yea its not fun... bit of the old PDM ;)
Feb 12 22:18:48 <Reedy_Boy> They use something called AMWorkflow
Feb 12 22:18:54 <WanderingII> what yous think of this:  http://89.241.173.3:8081/index.html
Feb 12 22:19:16 <Reedy_Boy> mines betterer (not slug hosted) http://www.reedyboy.net
Feb 12 22:20:01 <WanderingII> this wont be either but lookin for opinions on the image on the left. think it suits?
Feb 12 22:21:09 <daveyboy_> is slug hosting shite? i just switched mine temp to the slug as server for hostign seems to be having big probs... but should i just deff make it temporary?
Feb 12 22:21:22 <WanderingII> id say so
Feb 12 22:22:00 <WanderingII> ive a number of hosted sites, only using the slug now for development as im on vista and its crap so handier than settin it up with all my ftp stuff
Feb 12 22:22:58 <daveyboy_> oh ftp server...thats what i aint sorted out since i reflashed.... 
Feb 12 23:15:57 <Matsuka> I've just purchased a new NSLU2 and installed unslug. I have a question regarding this particular linux distribution. Can i run a simple linux console application or does it have to be specifically compiled for this platform frm source ?
Feb 12 23:16:18 <Reedy_Boy> depends what it is...
Feb 12 23:16:36 <Reedy_Boy> is it a script? or is it a compiled application (presumably?)
Feb 12 23:17:20 <Matsuka> It is called Ventrilo to be precise and i presume its an application
Feb 12 23:17:28 <Reedy_Boy> oh
Feb 12 23:17:33 <Reedy_Boy> You can do that easily (ish)
Feb 12 23:17:36 <Reedy_Boy> its on the wiki
Feb 12 23:17:37 <Reedy_Boy> moment
Feb 12 23:18:45 <Reedy_Boy> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/SetUpAVentriloServer
Feb 12 23:18:52 <Reedy_Boy> Teamspeak gets arsey, but you can do Vent
Feb 12 23:21:19 <Reedy_Boy> just need a processor emulator
Feb 12 23:24:11 <Matsuka> hehe i can't believe what my eyes seeing
Feb 12 23:24:24 <Reedy_Boy> It seems to work fine...
Feb 12 23:25:20 <Matsuka> Thanks it looks very cool and got my excited :-)
Feb 12 23:25:37 <Matsuka> me*
