Oct 19 11:50:48 * whyme keeps getting booted out of ssh when debian'ing his slug... is it because he uses a TB external drive?   Even tried formatting first... to no avail.
Oct 19 11:50:53 <whyme> :(
Oct 19 11:54:05 <whyme> right, trying with an 8Gb flash disk.  If that works then I'll try it again with the TB drives, or maybe even dd from flash to big drive and hope it "Just Works"
Oct 19 12:33:22 <whyme> right, so... I'm now installing opnslug4.8/be on my nslu with a TB drive connected to it.
Oct 19 12:34:38 <whyme> when using the openslug guide off the nslu0linux.org wiki, I'm stuck at "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda3" where I get the error "/dev/sda3: Memory allocation failed while setting up superblock "
Oct 19 12:34:59 <Reedy> how bigs the partition?
Oct 19 12:37:06 <whyme> checking...
Oct 19 12:38:29 <whyme> about 997Gb
Oct 19 12:38:50 <Reedy> probably why then
Oct 19 12:39:17 <Reedy> You'd lose about 100GB of that due to overheads and allocation
Oct 19 12:39:30 <Reedy> but its literally running out of memory, as it hasnt got enough onboard, and presumably no swap
Oct 19 12:41:37 <whyme> yea, I just figured that out from the initialisingDisks bit of the wiki... needed to mkswap /dev/sda2 && swapon /dev/sda2...
Oct 19 12:41:40 <whyme> checking this out now
Oct 19 12:42:39 <whyme> sweet, seems to be running now
Oct 19 12:43:15 <whyme> and... wait.
Oct 19 12:47:47 <whyme> 1/6th complete...
Oct 19 13:19:12 <whyme> meh, I dislike timeouts when convenient
Oct 19 13:20:48 <whyme> but I do like the openslug installation v debian on slug
Oct 19 13:21:28 <whyme> I think doing it manually gives me the control to not let it do stupid things and run out of memory, booting me out of ssh in the middle of the installation
Oct 19 13:32:07 <whyme> right, there's a weird thing: I followed http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/InitialisingDisks
Oct 19 13:32:39 <whyme> at the end, I found that /dev/sda2 was already used as swap and that /dev/sda1 is already used as /
Oct 19 13:33:09 <whyme> mount output:
Oct 19 13:33:12 <whyme>  /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,data=ordered) 
Oct 19 13:33:33 <whyme>  /dev/sda3 on /media/sda3 type ext3 (rw,sync,data=ordered)
Oct 19 13:34:12 <whyme> and swapon -s says /dev/sda2                               partition	755044	0	-1
Oct 19 13:34:49 <whyme> thing is that on the existing /home there is a /home/root
Oct 19 13:35:11 <whyme> if I now edit the fstab as in the manual, will this break anything?
Oct 19 13:35:34 <whyme> manual: # Add the following line at the end: /dev/sda3 /home ext3 defaults 1 1 
Oct 19 13:36:50 <whyme> full outputs:
Oct 19 13:36:51 <whyme> http://pastebin.ca/1230960
Oct 19 13:41:11 <whyme> nevermind... s'working now
Oct 19 14:12:20 <whyme> hi again
Oct 19 14:13:18 <whyme> does anyone know how to make samba insecure? I have already restricted access to the slug for my internal network, but I'd like to "publicly share" it with no added security
Oct 19 15:58:26 <Kvaks2> Yeah.
Oct 19 15:58:32 <Kvaks2> Oh, you left.
Oct 19 15:58:39 <Kvaks2> Too bad, that.
Oct 19 15:58:45 <Reedy> lol
Oct 19 16:02:54 <NSLU2-IRC> hi
Oct 19 16:03:34 <arthur92710> Uh, how can I find out what is pluged into the usb port?
Oct 19 16:04:26 <Reedy> look at the cable?
Oct 19 16:04:38 <arthur92710> -.-
Oct 19 16:05:01 <arthur92710> I have a hub, with a printer, hd, and flash drive
Oct 19 16:05:14 <arthur92710> where are they mounted?
Oct 19 16:05:33 <Reedy> fdisk -l should do the hd and flash disk
Oct 19 16:05:51 <Reedy> lsusb should tell you a list of all the currently attached usb devices
Oct 19 16:05:59 <arthur92710> ok
Oct 19 16:07:06 <arthur92710> sorry lsusb does not work
Oct 19 16:07:35 <Reedy> what os?
Oct 19 16:07:48 <arthur92710> slugos
Oct 19 16:08:01 <Reedy> i presume there will be some equivalent
Oct 19 16:08:42 <mwester> find and install the correct ipkg and you will  have lsusb
Oct 19 16:09:43 <Reedy> ;)
Oct 19 16:09:43 <mwester> ;) Unlike distros that assume one has a terabyte disk drive for the rootfs, SlugOS tries to be minimalistic in what gets placed in the default (initial) rootfs.
Oct 19 16:09:58 <Reedy> lol
Oct 19 16:10:24 <Reedy> mwester, pah, who needs things that use small amounts of diskspace. disks are cheap! ;P
Oct 19 16:10:32 <mwester> Yes, but I/O isn't
Oct 19 16:10:42 <Reedy> lol
Oct 19 16:11:19 <arthur92710> so what do i install?
Oct 19 16:12:23 <arthur92710> ipkg install ....
Oct 19 16:12:49 <mwester> arthur92710:  Start by finding what to install.
Oct 19 16:12:57 <mwester> You can do that by going to the wiki
Oct 19 16:13:07 <mwester> and on the upper left is the link to the ipkg search engine.
Oct 19 16:13:44 <arthur92710> -.- yeah http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/?n=Site%2FSearch&q=lsusb
Oct 19 16:14:07 <Reedy> thats not the ipkg search engine
Oct 19 16:15:09 <arthur92710> http://ipkgfind.nslu2-linux.org/result.phtml?query=lsusb&searchtype=package&section=
Oct 19 16:15:28 <Reedy> Search on:  	 Package name
Oct 19 16:15:28 <Reedy> Package name and description
Oct 19 16:15:28 <Reedy> File in package
Oct 19 16:16:10 <arthur92710> ok
Oct 19 16:16:16 <arthur92710> which one?
Oct 19 16:16:35 <Reedy> i wonder
Oct 19 16:16:40 <Reedy> you've already tried one
Oct 19 16:17:27 <arthur92710> slugosbe-cross-3.10-beta ,  slugosbe-cross-3.6-beta , optware-nslu2-cross-stable
Oct 19 16:24:16 <arthur92710> ipkg install usbutils
Oct 19 16:24:23 <arthur92710> thanks -.-
Oct 19 20:28:03 <arthur92710> hi
Oct 19 20:28:25 <arthur92710> I have a question about usb hubs and slugos
Oct 19 20:29:21 <arthur92710> I have a hd for the slugos in one port
Oct 19 20:29:29 <arthur92710> and a hub in the other
Oct 19 20:30:13 <arthur92710> when I connect something to it, like a flashdrive or a harddrive where does it show up?
Oct 20 02:59:31 <NSLU2-IRC> hi
