Aug 27 10:04:04 because i always got some errors Aug 27 12:50:32 hello, I've just ordered my first NSLU2 to hack around with and I'm after some USB drive advice Aug 27 12:50:59 does anyone have any strong opinions on the seagate freeagent or the western digital elements drives? Aug 27 12:52:29 i bought a seagate and it made weird noises (also after sending it back to seagate) Aug 27 12:52:52 so i bought a wd and it also makes weird noises, but not as loud as the seagate Aug 27 12:55:30 i can recommend samsung but they are not so good anymore according to some sites Aug 27 12:57:12 I've been happy with wd and seagate drives I've bought in the past, I just want to make sure that neither of these USB drives will explode or anthing when they're plugged into the linksys box :) Aug 27 13:08:45 exploding hdd, never heard of that ;-) Aug 27 17:11:35 Hi there - I'm having trouble getting FFmpeg to work on my slug - I'm running SlugOS/Be, and getting the ffmpeg package from the optware feed, but attempting to use ffmpeg to convert files results in "illegal instruction" - anyone know of a way to fix this? Aug 27 20:49:31 brutalpootle, be sure to search the wiki about freeagent Aug 27 22:01:11 ShadowJK: thanks, that's the one I ordered in the end Aug 27 22:01:50 I first used a freeagent with unslung and it ended up quite corrupted :) Aug 27 22:02:14 After switching off the auto powersave it's been working perfectly though Aug 27 22:02:43 I've ordered an Arduino board (http://www.arduino.cc/) and a BlinkM (http://thingm.com/products/blinkm.html) too so assuming I can find some patience and free time I should end up with a networked DIY ambient orb Aug 27 22:10:03 brutalpootle: excellent! Aug 27 22:26:33 chrisb: hopefully! Aug 27 22:26:47 I'll write it up and put something on the wiki if I get it working **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Aug 28 02:59:56 2008
