Sep 02 21:05:08 do i have to format it? Sep 02 21:06:20 i put it in disk 2 Sep 02 21:06:55 in the settings it says disk1: not installed Sep 02 21:07:05 disk2: not formated Sep 02 21:07:18 so do i have to format it? Sep 02 21:07:42 I have a bunch of stuff on it so i wont. Sep 02 21:14:51 ok what firmware should i install? so that I can use the usb in both my pc an the nslu? Sep 02 21:18:22 anyone here? Sep 02 21:33:15 arthur92710: www.nslu2-linux.org has much information. But it sounds to me like you would wish to start by reading the Linksys documentation, and use the Linksys firmware. Sep 02 21:36:38 i read the doc, it says that the nslu2 uses ext3 or smt, I need ntfs, so will installing unslung let me do this? Sep 02 21:39:04 arthur92710 yes it will so will the linksys firmware (latest) to if I remember right. Just choose USA lang.in the webinterface Sep 02 21:39:22 Im not sure I remember right but I think so.try Sep 02 21:39:54 im kind of stuck between slugos and unslung Sep 02 21:40:09 sorry did not see you posted Sep 02 21:40:34 well waht do you want/need? Sep 02 21:41:45 I want to use one of the custom firmwares but not sure. I need ntfs, hd to work from those ata to usb adapters, Sep 02 21:41:54 make a clear answer to that and check what is supported from the OS:s unlsung,slugos,debian. Sep 02 21:41:59 http server Sep 02 21:42:07 easey to use Sep 02 21:43:03 arthur ok if http server is important I think unslung is good, wait I give you a link Sep 02 21:43:11 do you have/ know of a table that compares fetures? Sep 02 21:44:38 but the this is if you read http://www.slug-firmware.net/ it says hardware is a hit or miss, and i cant do anything about it. Sep 02 21:44:49 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/SimpleHomeWebsite Sep 02 21:45:22 read the README.txt . read it again and then do it. Sep 02 21:46:01 that is a fast server Sep 02 21:47:04 ty Sep 02 21:47:19 unslung is good to start with Sep 02 21:47:27 learning. Sep 02 21:47:29 so unslug it is! Sep 02 21:47:44 Thank you so much! :D Sep 02 21:48:24 with unslung you keep much of the linksys vanilla and its a good thing. Sep 02 21:48:53 btw what fw should i get? The newest bata Sep 02 21:49:13 yep Sep 02 21:49:29 Unslung 6.10 Beta or 6.8? Sep 02 21:49:35 anyone got debian running on a real nslu2? Sep 02 21:49:46 6.8 is bigger then 6.1 Sep 02 21:49:48 I can't get mine to boot entirely, even with all the hints in the readme Sep 02 21:49:50 arthur take the latest Sep 02 21:49:58 lol!! Sep 02 21:50:07 Thanks man! Sep 02 21:50:33 hachi still Sep 02 21:50:36 =( Sep 02 21:50:44 wha? Sep 02 21:50:56 i remmber you asked some days ago same Sep 02 21:51:28 mmmhmmm Sep 02 21:51:44 I've replaced all the hardware with other ones, at the advice of someone Sep 02 21:51:55 but I still can't seem to get a boot log going or much of anything Sep 02 21:52:17 what you mean "boot entirely" Sep 02 21:52:29 I'd like to get it to boot Sep 02 21:53:05 do you use same disk all times? Sep 02 21:53:08 nope Sep 02 21:53:13 tried different disks Sep 02 21:53:23 only have on disk plugged in on different tries Sep 02 21:53:26 same usb port? Sep 02 21:53:26 one Sep 02 21:53:28 yes Sep 02 21:53:35 or the other usb port Sep 02 21:53:39 I don't move it after the install Sep 02 21:53:41 hm Sep 02 21:54:51 if I leave it for long enough, it reboots on its own, and tries again Sep 02 21:55:03 or at least, appears to Sep 02 21:55:25 any life after that reboot? Sep 02 21:55:34 nope Sep 02 21:55:42 how big si the disk? Sep 02 21:55:43 it hits the disk many times Sep 02 21:55:47 2GB Sep 02 21:55:51 (on this try) Sep 02 21:56:12 also tried a 40GB IDE hanging off USB, and 750GB SATA hanging off USB Sep 02 21:56:19 and a 4GB Sep 02 21:56:29 I use 4gb it works fine Sep 02 21:56:49 think 2 gb should work to Sep 02 21:57:04 1GB works as well, according to docs... you just have to manually partition it Sep 02 21:57:17 in any case though, I'm trying to find how you can debug it Sep 02 21:57:21 is the disk clean when starting is the installer format it? Sep 02 21:57:49 I've tried that a couple times, it makes no difference Sep 02 21:58:02 I can also mount the installed disk on another machine, it looks clean... fsck it Sep 02 21:58:09 ok Sep 02 21:58:12 set the recheck times to 0 and 0 via tun2fs Sep 02 21:58:23 yes Sep 02 21:58:34 set bootlogd to on, set fsckfix to on Sep 02 21:58:48 set eth0 to be auto start, not hotplug Sep 02 21:59:06 well my advice is go to debian irc. there is someskilled persons .ask there. I dunno Sep 02 21:59:32 #debian Sep 02 21:59:54 its a big channel Sep 02 22:00:00 been there for years Sep 02 22:00:06 =) Sep 02 22:00:52 I doubt they're gonna have any clue though, they'll tell me to get a console on it somehow Sep 02 22:01:54 one thing Sep 02 22:02:23 i do this if nothing works. start from begin. install the damn linksys and reset it Sep 02 22:02:27 then reinstall Sep 02 22:02:37 I've done that, several times Sep 02 22:02:42 ouch Sep 02 22:02:53 that's not debugging Sep 02 22:02:57 that's the windows method Sep 02 22:02:57 lol Sep 02 22:03:01 yep Sep 02 22:03:08 I'm still trying to figure out how you can debug on this platform Sep 02 22:03:09 but it often is good Sep 02 22:03:36 maybe J2 is a jtag port Sep 02 22:04:46 well waqit for advice and ask here to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/?yguid=184009766 Sep 02 22:05:02 hope ti work out for you Sep 02 22:11:17 one thing with the slugos I cant find out how to install what needed to build a app on my slug. with slugos 3.10 that worked. now i cant find out how.that not what i call Improve features.maybe I blind but cant find it=( Sep 02 22:12:04 so if someone know thos state clear in our wiki how to.thansk in advance. Sep 02 22:13:27 sorry for bad spell. Sep 02 22:16:35 woohoo!! its updated! Sep 02 22:18:20 ok now its up to 6.1 unslug Sep 02 22:18:47 grats arthur92710 Sep 02 22:20:07 hachi: http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddASerialPort <------ how to add a console to your NSLU2; it's all there except you'll need a connector and the 3,3v level translator. I have serial consoles on three NSLU2s using the cell-phone cable procedure on that page. Sep 02 22:20:41 ahh, here I was searching for jtag whatnots... didn't know it had a serial port right on it Sep 02 22:20:44 thanks Sep 02 22:21:05 I think I have a max232a laying around here somewhere Sep 02 22:22:18 It has jtag as well, but its not brought out to any header; you'll have to pick up the jtag at various points on the circuit board. But you shouldn't need it... Sep 02 22:22:46 the hilarity of all this Sep 02 22:22:55 I'm trying to use the NSLU2 as a serial server for a remote location Sep 02 22:23:11 so I have to use serial to make it work, and then I can make it serve serial for me :) Sep 02 22:26:42 hachi: if it's going to be remote, perhaps your recent experiences with Debian should make you reconsider your choice of firmware. Sep 02 22:27:25 If you can't get it working on your desktop, then it's probably going to be a real P.I.T.A. to manage it remotely or anywhere you don't have hours and hours to spend with it... Sep 02 22:27:48 Take another look at SlugOS would be my suggestion. Sep 02 22:28:37 need to go scare up some dinner; bbl Sep 02 22:30:13 I wanted to try that, but I couldn't get the firmware page to show me the readme, the release notes, or let me download the firmware Sep 02 22:30:20 all the other firmware downloads worked, but that one didn't Sep 02 22:33:05 ok, i got the usb drive to work but only in port 1 like it says here http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/NTFS Sep 02 22:33:22 how can i get port 2 to also use ntfs? Sep 02 23:06:14 hi Sep 02 23:07:20 anyone here? Sep 02 23:07:29 hi Sep 02 23:08:16 I'm looking for advice about an Iomega NAS 100d Sep 02 23:08:53 does anyone know if i can flash this without having to add a serial port? Sep 02 23:11:44 Please email me if you know Sep 02 23:11:53 at yahoo Sep 02 23:11:56 thanks Sep 02 23:12:23 sorry Sep 02 23:12:26 I know nothing about that Sep 02 23:12:31 but if you emailed the mailing lists Sep 02 23:12:37 someone who knows will respond Sep 02 23:12:47 do you know the address? Sep 02 23:15:39 sorry, my pc rebooted then I had to eat dinner, so, how can I get port 2 to use ntfs no unslung? Sep 03 00:04:56 arthur92710: Did you read the wiki notes about Unslung, especially the ones about what port to use -- and the ones about known limitations and problems? Sep 03 00:09:30 xbox prices cut in japan Sep 03 00:09:44 will the cuts make it to the US? Sep 03 00:38:44 mwester: uhhh no i did not... i will look at it in a few Sep 03 01:37:46 now I've done it Sep 03 01:37:59 slugos refuses to bring up the interface properly now :\ Sep 03 01:39:15 beep beep boop Sep 03 01:39:41 no dhcp request, grrr Sep 03 01:40:34 is the only choice for ircd ircd-hybrid? Sep 03 01:41:45 oof, hybrid's been unmaintained for like 8 or 9 months now if memory serves Sep 03 01:42:21 I don't see any other ircd Sep 03 01:42:29 it's a good ircd Sep 03 01:42:33 what are you after? Sep 03 01:42:33 yes Sep 03 01:42:38 to run ircd Sep 03 01:42:41 heh Sep 03 01:44:01 see if ratbox is available Sep 03 01:44:20 that's the replacement for hybrid, I think Sep 03 01:45:28 I did look Sep 03 01:45:40 I guess I could run that if I had debian installed Sep 03 01:45:43 wait... no Sep 03 01:45:46 hybrid isn't dead Sep 03 01:45:49 I've run both of them before Sep 03 01:45:53 someone marked it dead on wikipedia and now it's back again Sep 03 01:45:59 hmm Sep 03 01:46:05 but no package for services Sep 03 01:46:05 so I bet it's just 'good' so they're leaving it for the moment Sep 03 01:46:39 oh, the networks I help run never use packaged services, we have our own stuff Sep 03 01:46:53 why Sep 03 01:47:20 services was too heavy handed and didn't honor existing state of the network Sep 03 01:47:29 if it splits it would return and 'reset' everything Sep 03 01:47:38 which actually hurt us more often than helping us **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Sep 03 02:59:57 2008
