**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Mar 13 02:59:57 2008 Mar 13 11:11:04 ugh Mar 13 11:11:09 quiet Mar 13 11:53:45 hey Nightwolf Mar 13 11:55:30 hi Mar 13 11:56:33 do you use rtorrent ? Mar 13 12:02:16 yes Mar 13 12:02:44 hrm. Mar 13 12:02:50 i can't get it to work with the xmlrpc Mar 13 12:03:01 that is, none of the web/java interfaces for it Mar 13 12:03:09 i have it working ok Mar 13 12:03:16 i also couldn't set up a build-env for unslung Mar 13 12:03:19 can you help please ? Mar 13 12:04:27 oh, i dont use unslung Mar 13 12:04:43 and i spent/wasted a week trying to setup a build env for debianslug Mar 13 12:04:48 and gave up ;-) Mar 13 12:04:55 i wasnt smart enough Mar 13 12:05:12 how about rtorrent ? Mar 13 12:05:17 you used apt-get ? Mar 13 12:05:24 initially yes Mar 13 12:05:32 but i wanted encryption support Mar 13 12:05:43 so i managed to compile lib/rtorrent on the slug itself Mar 13 12:06:00 hrm. iscompiling the slug fast enough? Mar 13 12:06:04 however, nowadays there is a few people doing pretty regular builds of rtorrent for debian nslu2 Mar 13 12:06:09 took all night for me Mar 13 12:06:19 lol. Mar 13 12:06:26 should i move to debianslug ? Mar 13 12:06:37 i love debian on my slug Mar 13 12:06:45 seems to be a bit more 'complicated' to control it Mar 13 12:06:57 not in my opinion (its easier) Mar 13 12:07:00 web interfaces which do the small dirty work usually work fine Mar 13 12:07:07 atleast for teh basic stuff Mar 13 12:07:35 well, this isnt my opinion Mar 13 12:08:07 are the apt-get the same as debian's ? Mar 13 12:08:11 yup Mar 13 12:08:15 it is debian Mar 13 12:08:24 i always though unsung should be faster/ more compact Mar 13 12:08:32 since it's compiled for embedded Mar 13 12:08:41 im not the expert. Mar 13 12:08:44 slugs are slow anyway Mar 13 12:08:53 which debian's codebase is usually compiled for full rhobust pc's Mar 13 12:09:02 debian on my slug is fine for rtorrent/samba/streamining music and video/irc/apache Mar 13 12:10:15 what do you stream ? Mar 13 12:10:18 to Mar 13 12:10:33 xbmc, roku and lan pc's Mar 13 12:10:47 whats roku ? Mar 13 12:10:54 google Mar 13 12:10:54 oh, the python script ? Mar 13 12:14:36 hrm. Mar 13 12:14:52 what do I need to setup first thing when installing debian? Mar 13 12:15:02 ? Mar 13 12:15:14 and howtough would it be to upgrade Mar 13 12:15:23 i just followed the wiki install guide Mar 13 12:15:32 if you can read, you've got a good chance Mar 13 12:15:57 unslung didnt work for me, for some reason Mar 13 12:16:04 which is why i originally chose debian Mar 13 12:34:17 i'd still want to get rtorrenton unslung Mar 13 12:34:27 since i dont want to upgrade now Mar 13 12:43:10 whats the diff between debian fornslu firmware and slugOS ? Mar 13 12:45:06 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/FirmwareMatrix Mar 13 12:46:01 yeah I'm there.. Mar 13 12:46:06 thats why I'm asking Mar 13 12:46:18 hrm. isee slugos is the way to go Mar 13 12:46:28 but which one ?LE or BE ? Mar 13 12:51:53 well ? Mar 13 12:56:46 You are demanding that I choose your firmware for you? Mar 13 12:56:51 no Mar 13 12:56:53 Ok, SlugOS/BE then. Mar 13 12:56:57 i'm asking how I should choose Mar 13 12:57:17 i don't know what the difference between the two is Mar 13 12:57:45 Then go with SlugOS/BE Mar 13 12:57:50 Or Debian Mar 13 12:58:13 why BE if may I ask ? Mar 13 12:59:05 Compatible with Unslung, allowing you to run optware applications if you set up correctly to do so. Mar 13 13:00:14 oh. right. Mar 13 13:00:29 good idea, haven't thought of that Mar 13 13:14:29 what steps do i need to take to upgrade from unslung to slugos? Mar 13 13:14:41 i mean, overwriting firmware is clear Mar 13 13:14:50 but on the harddrive? Mar 13 13:16:02 partition wise Mar 13 13:17:28 should i go for beta slugos 4.8 ? Mar 13 13:18:03 it seemsso. Mar 13 13:18:54 ido-: backup the datas and reformatt the disk. Mar 13 13:19:02 how do i backup ?

Mar 13 20:34:39 PPmarcel: I haven't managed an upgrade yet so SlugOS isn't running on it yet, or do you mean try flashing with the SlugOS firmware in normal mode? Mar 13 20:35:45 slack---line: no. Your uplug2 has uploaded the firmware, the problem is at the checkfiles Mar 13 20:35:57 maybe the firmware can works Mar 13 20:36:03 Reedy_boy nope Mar 13 20:36:30 Reedy_BoyAre you intrested?

Mar 13 20:42:06 PPmarcel: cheers for the tips, on with the gentoo install :) Mar 13 20:42:21 don't foret that with the nslu2, you may need some hours to compile one package Mar 13 20:42:27 PPmarcel: no theres a stage3 install you can use, I'm following http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Linksys_NSLU2 Mar 13 20:42:41 http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Linksys_NSLU2#Building_a_basic_working_Gentoo_root Mar 13 20:42:50 ...that gets most of the software you'll need for a base system Mar 13 20:42:55 if you want, you can use a special firmware from gentoo wiiki, here: Mar 13 20:42:57 http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_on_NSLU2#Installation Mar 13 20:43:18 :) aye thats what I've been working from Mar 13 20:43:31 could you say me if it werks well? Mar 13 20:43:41 i intend to test it maybe, in future Mar 13 20:44:27 yep, will do have been writing down the order and things that I've been doing too, so far nothing of note different, just got to setup the slug to boot from the drive now (assuming the slugos firmware has installed ok) Mar 13 20:45:06 it seems that you can install gentoo without slugOS Mar 13 20:45:29 yeah, you just use SlugOS to boot from the connected USB HD Mar 13 20:45:59 you mean that slugos is in flash, and launch getoo on usbdisk? Mar 13 20:46:40 yep thats how I understand it Mar 13 20:47:04 ok :) Mar 13 20:47:27 firmware upgrade has worked have ssh'd in, going to crack on and see if I can get things working, will let you know how it goes, cheers for the help Mar 13 21:15:11 hi@all Mar 13 21:15:16 here i go again Mar 13 21:15:24 with news Mar 13 21:15:51 i've tested NFS with win XP now Mar 13 21:16:04 Did you find it slow for browsing?

Mar 13 21:49:49 haha Mar 13 21:49:49 ido-: maybe you can try slugosle Mar 13 21:50:03 brr.

Mar 13 21:50:47 i suggest that because so far the known working platforms for rtorrent xmlrpc are all little endian Mar 13 21:50:51 asa: i'm interested by your doc Mar 13 21:50:57 you will write it in the wiki? Mar 13 21:51:39 i'll try Mar 13 21:51:43 PPmarcel: any idea what files get over-written by turnup when it gives this message...."turnup: /dev/sda3: partition contains existing files, specify -f to overwrite" Mar 13 21:52:11 format this partition? Mar 13 21:52:18 else i can send you the doc. somebody have to corect it anyway. Mar 13 21:52:19 slack---line: turnup -i -f /dev/sda3 Mar 13 21:52:22 it'll work Mar 13 21:52:59 ok, but is it just /dev that willbe overwritten as per http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/OpenSlugTurnUp ??? Mar 13 21:53:18 if you do a -f it should overwrite files that arne't system ones Mar 13 21:53:29 eg: not private dirs such as /public or something Mar 13 21:53:36 it wol be full of mistakes in writing and grammar :) Mar 13 21:53:48 but you should make a backup do be on the safe side Mar 13 21:53:55 i used this -f today, and it worked fine.. Mar 13 21:54:34 ido-: no private files on there yet, all I've done is install a stage3 gentoo as per http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Linksys_NSLU2 so won't be too much of a problem even if it does screw things up, knowing its not going to overwrite the system files is what I was after :) Mar 13 21:55:42 eno: how do i know if an executable is suitable for slugLE orBE ? Mar 13 21:55:55 what for are the "?" in the wiki? Mar 13 21:56:02 file /path/to/executable Mar 13 21:56:04 "WinXP?" Mar 13 21:56:34 windows XP? Mar 13 21:56:49 oh it auto links with somethings Mar 13 21:56:53 but there are no pages there Mar 13 21:56:58 aha Mar 13 21:57:17 make a "www.microsoft.com" ;) Mar 13 21:58:38 * kolla sobs Mar 13 21:58:42 my slug is ill Mar 13 21:59:03 need medicine? Mar 13 21:59:13 it keeps resetting after finding usb ports Mar 13 21:59:20 even when there's nothing in them Mar 13 21:59:39 nah.. now it went on, hm Mar 13 21:59:52 I suspect the power supply, actually Mar 13 22:00:12 I need to put up a 5V grid for all my embedded stuff Mar 13 22:00:16 fingers crossed, here goes with a reboot :^ Mar 13 22:01:06 hm, if the hdd on port2 of the slug is sda, then what is the hdd on port1 ? Mar 13 22:01:08 mf... what is the default password of slugos? Mar 13 22:01:28 activity on the external hdd, looking good Mar 13 22:02:10 hrm. Mar 13 22:02:14 ok, so no xml-rpc Mar 13 22:02:22 what are my options for web interface for torrents ? Mar 13 22:05:41 hmm, can't login :( have tried default OpenSlug (opeNSLUg), what I changed it to using turnup init and anything else it might have inherited from my system, no joy Mar 13 22:06:10 will holding the reset button for 2 secs reset the password as with the stock firmware? Mar 13 22:07:40 is there no way to mount an formatet hd on the slug without to format it via the webgui? Mar 13 22:08:09 it's full with data. i don't want to format it Mar 13 22:08:09 slack---line: you shouldn't need that Mar 13 22:09:03 slack---line: try to start your nslu2 without the disk, then use defauklt password Mar 13 22:09:17 plug your disk and change your password on it Mar 13 22:09:17 PPmarcel: ok will give it a go. Mar 13 22:09:55 err, ask to someone else howyou change your password, i don't remember ^^' Mar 13 22:10:35 just boot from the nslu2, mount the drive, chroot into that as an enviornment and set the password there? Can't chroot into it when connected to main computer as chipset differs. Mar 13 22:10:46 its 'passwd' to change passwords Mar 13 22:12:22 yes, but i don't know if it will change your /etc/passwd on your disk Mar 13 22:21:53 you want to reset the root password? Mar 13 22:22:16 on a gentoo install on an external HD, have done that now Mar 13 22:22:41 can you access the hd? Mar 13 22:22:46 just trying to emerge a few things, but get an error with python under the chrooted envuronment Mar 13 22:22:48 write to? Mar 13 22:23:22 I couldn't as it was rejecting the password, but have now booted from SlugOS, then connected , mounted and chrooted into the gentoo install on the hd Mar 13 22:24:12 else you can mount it on a running system and edit /etc/passwd by hand Mar 13 22:24:33 just delete the "x" in the root entry Mar 13 22:24:55 then you will be prompted for new password at nect login Mar 13 22:25:10 will see if I can fix the python error and see if its worked using 'passwd' to change the password and fall back to editing directly if it hasn't Mar 13 22:34:27 eno: here ? Mar 13 22:34:54 yes? Mar 13 22:35:09 sussed it the python problem I'd not sourced the correct /etc/profile and need to symlink /etc/make.profile for a proper portage and system settings Mar 13 22:37:37 where could i find more information regarding the xmlrpc issue Mar 13 22:38:19 right now it's just trial and err Mar 13 22:38:51 that means? Mar 13 22:38:52
