Apr 16 06:16:30 <goodtimes> is anyone around?
Apr 16 07:00:24 <n00bish_armo> hey, everyone
Apr 16 07:00:41 <n00bish_armo> anyone care to help a n00b set up enhanced-ctorrent?
Apr 16 07:02:50 <n00bish_armo> anyway, does anyone have an idea how to point slug to save files to an HDD?
Apr 16 07:04:34 <n00bish_armo> anybody? are you all asleep? :)
Apr 16 07:07:37 <n00bish_armo> am I missing something? isn't this supposed to be some sort of chat?
Apr 16 07:09:51 <n00bish_armo> does anyone ever talk here?
Apr 16 07:23:27 <n00bish_armo> hmm...
Apr 16 12:41:44 <Kvaks> Patience, young one.
Apr 16 13:50:27 <arualavi> :)
Apr 16 16:02:14 <Reedy> eno, i *think* i've got the cowsay.mk file done
Apr 16 16:02:35 <Reedy> i can do make cowsay, make cowsay-ipk and make cowsay-check with no errors
Apr 16 16:02:39 <Reedy> lets see if we install
Apr 16 16:10:21 <Reedy> janne-5011, i think cowsay for optware is nearly done ;)
Apr 16 16:15:22 <eno> Reedy: that's great.
Apr 16 16:15:40 <Reedy> fingers crossed, im just resetting up my unslung NSLU2 to test it :)
Apr 16 16:16:27 <eno> rwhitby can give you svn write access, send the tested make/cowsay.mk to ML
Apr 16 16:16:44 <eno> before he gives you access, i can commit it for you
Apr 16 16:17:22 <Reedy> cool :)
Apr 16 16:17:58 <eno> yahoogroups email does not take attachment too well
Apr 16 16:18:08 <eno> better just pastebin and send a link
Apr 16 16:18:26 <Reedy> ook :)
Apr 16 16:18:33 <Reedy> presumably i can remove all the comments from it?
Apr 16 16:18:40 <Reedy> or most, at least
Apr 16 16:28:28 <janne-5011> Reedy looking after it later then=)
Apr 16 16:33:45 * Reedy pokes his unslung NSLU2
Apr 16 16:48:05 <doriangray> Hi!
Apr 16 16:48:28 <Reedy> hai
Apr 16 16:49:36 <doriangray> Can Somebody please tell me where to set the global path for all accounts in SlugOS? I've tried /etc/profile without success.
Apr 16 16:55:24 <HardDisk_WP> hey all
Apr 16 16:55:26 <HardDisk_WP> i have currently debian on my slug
Apr 16 16:55:34 <HardDisk_WP> can i somehow install gentoo on this base?
Apr 16 17:01:39 <Reedy> eno, just realised, its not actually copying any of the files into the ipk
Apr 16 17:03:17 <eno> if the package has a Makefile and a "make install" target, try use that
Apr 16 17:03:54 <Reedy> its got an install.sh
Apr 16 17:04:18 <Reedy> PREFIX=${prefix:-/usr/local}
Apr 16 17:05:01 <eno> override prefix with $(COWSAY_IPK_DIR)/opt
Apr 16 17:05:45 <eno> if it has a separate DESTDIR, override DESTDIR with $(COWSAY_IPK_DIR)
Apr 16 17:05:52 <eno> and override prefix with /opt
Apr 16 17:06:11 <Reedy> just $usethisperl aswell
Apr 16 17:07:25 <PPmarcel> HardDisk_WP: as far i have seen, you can only install gentoo from slugOS or gentoo firmware
Apr 16 17:07:51 <HardDisk_WP> kk
Apr 16 17:08:32 <PPmarcel> http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_on_NSLU2#Installation
Apr 16 17:08:33 <PPmarcel> http://gentoo-wiki.com/HARDWARE_Linksys_NSLU2#Building_a_basic_working_Gentoo_root
Apr 16 17:08:41 <PPmarcel> both procedures are here
Apr 16 17:15:57 <ASA> hi@all
Apr 16 17:16:36 <HardDisk_WP> thx
Apr 16 17:23:46 <Reedy> eno, http://pastebin.com/d6220a07a - thats how it is and it will "make", just with no files... any chance of you looking at the install.sh bit and adding it?
Apr 16 17:23:52 <Reedy> thanks
Apr 16 17:25:12 <eno> ok, will do, but give me some minutes
Apr 16 17:45:40 <eno> Reedy: http://pastebin.com/m56262d5c
Apr 16 18:05:12 <Reedy> eno, cool, thanks... getting there then
Apr 16 18:06:41 <Reedy> just getting the install script to copy the files as appropriate
Apr 16 18:07:52 <eno> right, the key here is the sed lines in cowsay .configured section
Apr 16 18:08:16 <Reedy> $(COWSAY_BUILD_DIR)/.built: $(COWSAY_BUILD_DIR)/.configured
Apr 16 18:08:16 <Reedy> 	rm -f $@
Apr 16 18:08:16 <Reedy> 	#$(MAKE) -C $(@D)
Apr 16 18:08:16 <Reedy> 	touch $@
Apr 16 18:08:28 <Reedy> so thats replacing the commented out make line, right?
Apr 16 18:09:12 <eno> no, i'm refering to line 108-110 of http://pastebin.com/m56262d5c
Apr 16 18:09:39 <eno> yes, line 120 is fine
Apr 16 18:09:39 <Reedy> oh, further up
Apr 16 18:13:35 <Reedy> eno, i see you've already done it :)
Apr 16 18:13:43 * Reedy smacks head for being stupid!!
Apr 16 18:14:02 <Reedy> i thought i'd copied it back across, but seems i didnt!
Apr 16 18:18:45 <Reedy> thanks eno :)
Apr 16 18:19:22 <eno> you're very welcome
Apr 16 18:19:49 <Reedy> have you tested it on unslung/similar?
Apr 16 18:22:16 <eno> yes, just tested on MSS II (cs05q3armel)
Apr 16 18:22:54 <eno> $ cowsay -f small `/opt/games/fortune`

Apr 16 18:34:37 <eno> bad drive or enclosure
Apr 16 18:35:10 <Reedy> righto
Apr 16 18:35:16 * Reedy throws the usb stick away
Apr 16 18:35:27 <Reedy> thanks again
Apr 16 20:52:56 <yaustar> I am running rtorrent on Unslung 6.10 and it is crashing while trying to download large files (>800mb). Is there a way to fix this or should I try another client?
Apr 16 20:54:41 <PPmarcel_> maybe you could try ctorrent
Apr 16 20:55:17 <PPmarcel_> if rtorrenr crash, i see no other solutions than changing your client, or your os
Apr 16 20:57:08 <yaustar> Do you know what would cause it to crash?
Apr 16 20:57:34 <Reedy> Lack of memory, code error...
Apr 16 20:58:08 <mwester> You could probably tell us, though.  What type of "crash" did you get, what messages, and what content in the log file(s)?
Apr 16 20:58:55 <yaustar> Where would the log files be?
Apr 16 20:59:41 <Reedy> mwester, you should be able to now "ipkg install cowsay" ;)
Apr 16 21:00:12 <mwester> Oh goody!
Apr 16 21:00:15 <Reedy> he
Apr 16 21:00:17 <Reedy> h
Apr 16 21:00:44 <Reedy> i thought you'd be happy
Apr 16 21:00:54 <Reedy> ;)
Apr 16 21:01:22 <mwester> yaustar:  the error message would be printed at the terminal session from where you started rtorrent; the logs may be where ever you put them, if rtorrent has its own logs, and the system logs are in /var/log/messages, but you might also find some clues in the output from "dmesg" if the problem involved the kernel.
Apr 16 21:03:34 <yaustar> hmm... couldn't find any log files and I was disconnected at the time when rtorrent crashed :/
Apr 16 21:04:24 <yaustar> Well, I set the download off again, guess I have to waut...
Apr 16 21:04:26 <yaustar> *wait..
Apr 16 21:04:30 <eno> if it's out of memory, dmesg probably has something about OOM killer
Apr 16 21:05:02 <yaustar> If I changed the firmware to a 2.6 kernel, will it solve the issue or is it another 'might'?
Apr 16 21:05:27 <mwester> yaustar:  we don't really know what the issue is, so we don't know what will solve it.
Apr 16 21:05:28 <yaustar> There we go...
Apr 16 21:05:41 <Reedy> rtorrent on debian crashed for me, so just changing to 2.6 wont hel
Apr 16 21:05:42 <Reedy> p
Apr 16 21:05:50 <yaustar> Caught Bus error, dumping stack:
Apr 16 21:05:50 <yaustar> 0 [0xbffff82c]
Apr 16 21:05:50 <yaustar> A bus error probably means you ran out of diskspace.
Apr 16 21:05:50 <yaustar> Aborted
Apr 16 21:06:03 <Reedy> and how much free diskspace do you have..?
Apr 16 21:06:09 <yaustar> 400 gig
Apr 16 21:06:30 <mwester> In the directory you are downloading to?
Apr 16 21:06:36 <yaustar> 400 gig
Apr 16 21:07:15 <yaustar> It crashed while trying to do a hash check of an existing file
Apr 16 21:07:41 <mwester> What is the output of "dmesg", then?  (use pastebin.ca if you must)
Apr 16 21:08:29 <yaustar> Here we go: http://rafb.net/p/WGuoFs22.html
Apr 16 21:08:46 <yaustar> Doesn't look happy
Apr 16 21:11:05 <eno> that's a lot of I/O error
Apr 16 21:11:49 <yaustar> Should I do the linux equalivent of a check disk
Apr 16 21:11:50 <yaustar> ?
Apr 16 21:12:38 <eno> definitely
Apr 16 21:12:57 <eno> should try to understand whether it's the HD, or enclosure
Apr 16 21:13:12 <eno> whether the I/O error has anything to do with rtorrent
Apr 16 21:13:15 <yaustar> It is the Seagate FreeAgent
Apr 16 21:13:25 <Reedy> is it spinning down..?
Apr 16 21:13:53 <yaustar> I can still write to it so it isn't mounted as read only..
Apr 16 21:14:14 <Reedy> :/
Apr 16 21:20:11 <yaustar> If it was spinning down, I guess I be getting these problems: http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-arm@lists.debian.org/msg06448.html
Apr 16 21:23:53 <Reedy> janne-5011, cowsay is up on optware feeds ;)
Apr 16 21:23:57 <yaustar> Running e2fsck check now
Apr 16 21:24:06 <yaustar> What the heck are Inodes?
Apr 16 21:24:37 <Reedy> to do with the data structure - how stuff is stored
Apr 16 21:24:45 <Reedy> stores info
Apr 16 21:24:55 <yaustar> Hmm.. it is fixing a lot of them :P
Apr 16 21:25:08 <Reedy> lol
Apr 16 21:25:37 <yaustar> Strange, it is a brand new drive :/
Apr 16 21:28:08 <jabular> yaustar: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/DealWithAutoSpinDownOnSeagateFreeAgent
Apr 16 21:28:47 <yaustar> I don't get the same symptoms 
Apr 16 21:29:11 <yaustar> I can still write to the drive so it isn't mounted as read only..
Apr 16 21:31:33 <janne-5011> Reedy my slug bots up now..must see it=)
Apr 16 21:31:46 <Reedy> ;)
Apr 16 21:33:53 <jabular> yaustar: your dmesg output looks the same as mine when i had the same problem, the solution on that page fixed it
Apr 16 21:34:30 <yaustar> Hmm.. okay
Apr 16 21:34:48 <yaustar> What firmware do you have?
Apr 16 21:36:15 <jabular> i can't check now, i don't have it on at the moment
Apr 16 21:37:33 <janne-5011> Reedy--cowsay a must have =)))
Apr 16 21:37:59 <Reedy> :)
Apr 16 21:38:40 <eno> some one please make an ascii art of the nslu2-linux icon
Apr 16 21:40:57 <Reedy> hmm
Apr 16 21:41:08 <Reedy> theres a tux one... so its just a case of adding a slug to it
Apr 16 21:41:41 <yaustar> jabular: Did you adjust the spindown time?
Apr 16 21:43:13 <jabular> yaustar: I just did the first solution that link gives and i had no more problems
Apr 16 21:43:32 <janne-5011> enothe dragon is nice
Apr 16 21:43:44 <yaustar> Problem is I have a 2.4 kernel firmware :(
Apr 16 21:43:46 <janne-5011> *the dragon is nice
Apr 16 21:47:50 <jabular> yaustar: then maybe the second solution might work for you, if not you could maybe upgrade to 2.6...?
Apr 16 21:52:12 <yaustar> Well, it can't make it any worse :P
Apr 16 21:52:59 <Reedy> you cant upgrade unslung to 2.6
Apr 16 21:53:02 <Reedy> you'll need a different OS
Apr 16 21:53:49 <yaustar> I was referring to the second solution from the link...
Apr 16 21:54:04 <yaustar> I might have to resort to updating to OpenSlug
Apr 16 21:54:29 <yaustar> Or changing the spin down time so it doesn't spin down
Apr 16 22:10:37 <yaustar> I have done a reboot and tried the second solution and it looks much better, cheers all
Apr 16 22:11:00 <yaustar> I am not sure if it was the checkdisk or the spin down problem that was causing it though...
