May 10 07:11:53 <bpun> (uplsug2 shows V and reboots with 3 beeps-- never been able to ssh to 192.168.1.77)
May 10 07:12:00 <bpun> (nor am i using dhcp)
May 10 07:12:29 <bpun> it was previously working perfectly on lenny prior the outage
May 10 08:24:16 <cacao> hello
May 10 08:25:07 <cacao> I have a problem using a package from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware
May 10 08:25:42 <cacao> I installed "irssi_0.8.13-1_powerpc.ipk" and "irssi-dev_0.8.13-1_powerpc.ipk"
May 10 08:25:59 <cacao> When I launch irssi I get this error :
May 10 08:26:04 <cacao> R_PPC_REL24: Compile shared libraries with -fPIC!
May 10 08:26:04 <cacao> irssi: symbol 'malloc': can't handle reloc type 0xa
May 10 08:26:50 <cacao> Do you have an idea about this problem ?

May 10 10:08:37 <cacao> re
May 10 10:13:24 <cacao> I'd like to cross-compile irssi in order to add -fPIC switch
May 10 10:13:59 <cacao> I read http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/AddAPackageToOptware documentation
May 10 10:16:25 <cacao> and I modified irssi.mk to add -fPIC at IRSSI_CPPFLAGS variable
May 10 10:16:28 <cacao> is this ok 
May 10 10:16:31 <cacao> ?
May 10 10:28:49 <cacao> "If you have problems, you can probably find help, or at least sympathy, on IRC."

May 10 16:11:46 <DrLabel> tks
May 10 16:11:54 <DrLabel> What was the problem ???
May 10 16:11:56 <eno> it was to solve problems on other platforms
May 10 16:12:08 <DrLabel> lol
May 10 16:12:18 <eno> we usually don't do svn version
May 10 16:12:51 <DrLabel> i was tring to compile but i'm n00b making this things
May 10 16:12:56 <eno> don't have time to look into it
May 10 16:13:18 <eno> you should try follow the wiki guide
May 10 16:13:26 <DrLabel> this one ???
May 10 16:13:36 <DrLabel> http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/AddAPackageToOptware
May 10 16:14:09 <eno> yes
May 10 16:14:20 <DrLabel> i'm tring but the part of Edit mypackage.mk with our package specific variables
May 10 16:14:27 <DrLabel> is not to easy for me 
May 10 16:14:39 <DrLabel> but i'm tring to compile 
May 10 16:14:50 <DrLabel> :P lets see what it do
May 10 16:14:51 <DrLabel> lol
May 10 16:14:53 <eno> did you build the toolchain okay?
May 10 16:14:59 <DrLabel> ???
May 10 16:15:06 <DrLabel> im at the 1º part 
May 10 16:15:19 <DrLabel> make mypackage  
May 10 16:15:37 <DrLabel> grr got erros
May 10 16:15:40 <eno> ok, this particular wiki page is about adding a package
May 10 16:16:05 <eno> to build an existing package like transmission, you just use "make transmission-ipk"
May 10 16:16:28 <DrLabel> lol
May 10 16:16:38 <DrLabel> easy lest try
May 10 16:16:41 <eno> in the process, it will take quite some time to build a cross compilation toolchain
May 10 16:16:59 <eno> but this just happens once
May 10 16:17:22 <DrLabel> ok i'm tring to learn
May 10 16:17:50 <DrLabel> need a faster computer lol
May 10 16:17:58 <eno> you can build the toolchain explicitly by "make toolchain", before "make transmission-ipk"
May 10 16:18:19 <eno> yeah, for compilation, the faster the better
May 10 16:22:47 <DrLabel> grr i have deleted my .config directory know i have to configure all over again :|
May 10 18:07:36 <ladanz> hi guys, i got a problem
May 10 18:12:27 <ladanz> i'm streaming (over smb, i think;whatever unslugn uses) data from a usb device over the NSLU2.i mount this data on my linux using mount.cifs.then i point my music client to that mountpoint, but the music stumbles...; but with a ftp client i get 800kb/s
May 10 20:54:39 <mwester> ladanz:  so you are basically converting the Linux data stream on the NSLU2 into Windows format, then on your other device you are converting back from Windows format --- why? 
May 10 20:54:53 <mwester> Just use NFS on both devices, and it will be MUCH MUCH MUCH faster.
May 10 20:56:13 <Reedy> mwester, but not as fun ;)
May 10 21:00:08 <mwester> Reedy:  You're right.  And to double the fun, one should convert the entire data stream to XML with text hex encoding of the data.   And to triple the fun -- why not convert it to EBCDIC before putting it on the wire?  :D
May 10 21:01:12 * Reedy suggests ROT13 for security
May 10 21:04:07 <djcip> why do we put www. in our web addresses? 
May 10 21:04:19 <djcip> why was it ever designed like that
May 10 21:18:21 <Reedy> eno, are you about?
May 10 21:48:46 <Reedy> "The latest stable release of Debian is version 4.0 (etch) and a release candidate for 5.0 (lenny) is available. At this point, lenny is recommended for new installations of NSLU2. A binary firmware download can be found at http://www.slug-firmware.net. "
May 10 21:48:52 <Reedy> someone want to update that?
May 10 21:48:53 <Reedy> ;P
May 10 21:52:19 <mwester> Why?
May 10 21:52:32 <mwester> Has something about that changed?
May 10 21:53:00 <Reedy> Debian 5 is latest stable
May 10 21:53:09 <Reedy> has been for a few months
May 10 21:53:20 <mwester> For the NSLU2?
May 10 21:53:24 * mwester doesn't do debian
May 10 21:53:31 <Reedy> heh
May 10 21:53:37 <Reedy> slugfirmware.net thinks so
May 10 21:53:38 <Reedy> 2009-04-11 - Debian/NSLU2 Stable 5.0.1 Release 
May 10 21:53:45 <mwester> ok.
May 10 21:53:57 * mwester nominates Reedy to update the wiki, since he clearly knows. :)
May 10 21:54:08 <Reedy> mwester, canhaspassword? :)
May 10 21:54:13 <mwester> nslu2
May 10 21:54:21 <mwester> (it's on the home page IIRC)
May 10 21:54:34 <Reedy> it is, but its not that password for that page
May 10 21:54:54 <Reedy> "Note that you will need the password 'nslu2' to edit pages. Some significant pages (such as this one) are protected with stronger passwords."
May 10 21:55:16 <mwester> Oh.  We'll have to find rwhitby, then.
May 10 21:56:01 <Reedy> he's lost i see :o
May 10 21:56:39 <mwester> he is.  he pops up now and again, though.
