Mar 08 15:17:03 <kata|> hello. can anyone here help with a slugimage error i'm getting?
Mar 08 15:20:54 <Reedy> if you tell us the error, im sure someone can possibly help
Mar 08 15:21:04 <Reedy> (please pastebin if it is long)
Mar 08 15:21:27 <kata|> hey, wasn't sure anyone was awake.
Mar 08 15:21:33 <kata|> it just says "Killed"
Mar 08 15:21:37 <Reedy> loads of people idled
Mar 08 15:21:40 <Reedy> What says killed?
Mar 08 15:21:46 <Reedy> s/idled/idle/
Mar 08 15:22:08 <kata|> slugimage just reads di-nslu2.bin and then says "Killed"
Mar 08 15:22:30 <kata|> i'm trying to upgrade my very old install of debian, so i'm doing all the manual steps on the wiki
Mar 08 15:23:21 <Reedy> what os are you on?
Mar 08 15:23:33 <Reedy> (desktop/laptop)
Mar 08 15:23:51 <kata|> i'm doing it on the nslu2, in debian
Mar 08 15:24:04 <Reedy> yeah, but what operating system is the machine you are currently using?
Mar 08 15:24:45 <kata|> uhm.
Mar 08 15:25:18 <kata|> i'm not sure how to check the exact version it's running
Mar 08 15:25:25 <Reedy> sorry
Mar 08 15:25:43 <Reedy> Are you using windows or linux or mac or something else on the machine you are irc'ing from?
Mar 08 15:26:02 <kata|> i'm on irssi in debian on the nslu2. but i have a windows laptop as well
Mar 08 15:26:16 <Reedy> right
Mar 08 15:26:57 <Reedy> if you were using some linux distro on the current machine, i would've suggested just using upslu2
Mar 08 15:26:59 <Reedy> *upslug2
Mar 08 15:28:11 <kata|> i'm just trying to follow the wiki on "Obtaining the NPE-B microcode" before i continue with the cyrius.com guide to upgrading the system
Mar 08 15:28:28 <Reedy> wiki link?
Mar 08 15:28:38 <kata|> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/HomePage
Mar 08 15:28:58 <kata|> it says if i'm on "sid", i need to do this
Mar 08 15:34:55 <kata|> oh. i guess it doesn't really say "if you're on sid", but i'm following the instructions i felt matched my system
Mar 08 15:35:02 <Reedy> lol
Mar 08 15:35:05 <Reedy> what are you on on it?
Mar 08 15:35:07 <Reedy> uname -a
Mar 08 15:35:28 <kata|> Linux nslu2-1 2.6.16 #1 PREEMPT Thu Jun 8 23:38:13 PDT 2006 armv5tel GNU/Linux
Mar 08 15:35:38 <Reedy> would look like etch to me
Mar 08 15:35:51 <Reedy> you can upgrade form etch to lenny if you want to keep most things the same
Mar 08 15:36:05 <Reedy> s/form/from/
Mar 08 15:36:11 <kata|> that's my goal :)
Mar 08 15:36:13 <eno> sid == unstable
Mar 08 15:36:24 <Reedy> hey brian
Mar 08 15:36:38 <Reedy> is sid always unstable then? :/
Mar 08 15:36:42 <eno> can you "cat /etc/issue" ?
Mar 08 15:36:51 <eno> hi Reedy
Mar 08 15:37:00 <kata|> Debian GNU/Linux testing/unstable \n \l
Mar 08 15:37:29 <eno> IIRC sid is always unstable
Mar 08 15:38:01 <Reedy> i suspect your /etc/apt/sources.list will just say unstable..
Mar 08 15:38:51 <kata|> i may have messed around a bit with that file. it just has some etch and sid lines
Mar 08 15:39:05 <Reedy> # is a comment
Mar 08 15:39:12 <Reedy> can you pastebin it please?
Mar 08 15:39:32 <kata|> sure, hang on
Mar 08 15:40:21 <kata|> http://pastebin.com/d9e0a200
Mar 08 15:41:42 <Reedy> in theory, as long as you make sure your sources points at the right place, apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade
Mar 08 15:41:43 <Reedy> should sort it
Mar 08 15:41:53 <Reedy> some people reccommend making sure its fully up to date on the current version first
Mar 08 15:42:21 <kata|> ok, i'll do that then
Mar 08 15:46:11 <MassiveBlue> hi
Mar 08 15:47:30 <MassiveBlue> is anybody here who is using a smartmouse (smartcard-reader) und the tool smusbutil?
Mar 08 15:58:04 <kata|> Reedy: the upgrade failed with: /var/lib/dpkg/info/tzdata.postinst: line 27: /usr/sbin/tzconfig: No such file or directory
Mar 08 15:58:21 <Reedy> dist-upgrade?
Mar 08 15:58:25 <kata|> yes
Mar 08 15:59:51 <Reedy> http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=%2Fvar%2Flib%2Fdpkg%2Finfo%2Ftzdata.postinst%3A+line+27%3A+%2Fusr%2Fsbin%2Ftzconfig%3A+No+such+file+or+directory&meta=
Mar 08 16:45:26 <MassiveBlue> anybody knows how to crosscompile for debian on the nslu?
Mar 08 21:51:53 <fredsa> I guys.  I'm trying to install ntfs3g drivers using the howto at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/BuildNTFS3G
Mar 08 21:52:38 <fredsa> I'm getting confused with where the reference to the kernel is supposed to go in the configure command
Mar 08 21:53:12 <fredsa> In the author's example, s/he uses the option --with-kernel= /usr/local/src/unslung/unslung/tmp/work/unslung-kernel-2.4.22.l2.3r63-r22/linux-2.4.22/
Mar 08 21:53:21 <fredsa> where does s/he get this path from?
Mar 08 21:54:38 <fredsa> I don't see any tmp/work directory in the src package for unslung
