**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu Jul 30 02:59:57 2009 Jul 30 16:30:11 hello? Jul 30 16:34:13 I can't login as root into my flashed(di-nslu2.bin) NLSU2 box by using "opeNSLUg: or "OpenSlug" Jul 30 16:34:35 I'm trying to login with ssh Jul 30 16:34:51 what did i do wrong? Jul 30 16:36:04 I just receive the message "Permission denied, please try again" Jul 30 17:05:45 di-nslu2.bin is debian, no? Jul 30 17:46:01 hi there Jul 30 17:46:37 everyone asleep? :) Jul 30 17:47:37 yes Jul 30 17:47:50 Who woke me up? Jul 30 17:48:08 Hi appocomaster and others ... LOL Jul 30 17:48:42 So this is the place where you might fire questions when run into troubles? Jul 30 17:48:49 it's not good for responses Jul 30 17:48:54 I've been waiting 3 days for mine Jul 30 17:48:58 I might just try and fix it myself :( Jul 30 17:49:10 Hmm that's a pitty Jul 30 17:49:32 well I can't get my slug into upgrade mode Jul 30 17:49:54 or i do not know the password Jul 30 17:50:27 Appocomaster: still waiting? Jul 30 17:52:42 yeah Jul 30 17:52:46 my slug has gone kaput Jul 30 17:52:50 I think from a recent powercut Jul 30 17:53:03 xbox, use the wiki page that describes how to enter upgrade mode using the reset button. Pay special attention to the footnote on the subtleness of the color change. Jul 30 17:53:03 and I can't work out any way short of putting it in install mode to get it back Jul 30 17:53:09 Ohh F*ck Jul 30 17:53:18 Same for Appocomaster. Jul 30 17:53:20 I've got a custom install on a flash drive, and a usb drive hooked up, but it detects neither Jul 30 17:53:38 it flashes all 4 lights alternatively a few times after booting then goes to ethernet, then nothing Jul 30 17:54:35 without any ready/status led burning constatntly? Jul 30 17:54:36 Appocomaster, unplug ALL usb devices, then reboot -- it should boot up on the internal firmware (whatever that was). Jul 30 17:55:30 From there you can begin troubleshooting. Perhaps your internal flash image has been corrupted and needs to be reflashed. Perhaps your usb devices are corrupted and not recognized. Perhaps (like many many NLSU2's) your power supply has grown weak and is failing. Jul 30 17:56:29 Okay never heard off those kind of problems ... such as power weakness after using your slug Jul 30 17:57:18 a friend of my gave me that device and it used to work correctly with the linksys sw Jul 30 17:57:32 Check the mailing list archives -- it's become a very very common problem lately, perhaps as power supplies age. Jul 30 17:58:10 okay to be honest did not do my complete homework yet Jul 30 17:58:23 xbox, if it works ok with the linksys fw, then the psu is ok. You haven't described your issue in detail, so I have no idea what you should do. Jul 30 17:58:53 xbox, you just said you couldn't enter upgrade mode, so I suggested the wiki page that has NEVER failed to work. :) Jul 30 17:59:48 thanks mwester Jul 30 17:59:51 well I'm trying to flash my slug so it would run debian: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html Jul 30 18:01:03 Do the debian instructions have you trying to login with the same password used by the SlugOS/OpenSlug firmware, then? Jul 30 18:01:11 but i got stuck at the reset action Jul 30 18:02:00 yes it should be "opeNSLUg" isn't it? Jul 30 18:02:13 Really? The debian instruction say that? Jul 30 18:02:32 well they do not mention any password Jul 30 18:02:38 Ah. Jul 30 18:03:00 They why assume that Debian would use a root password from some other Linux distro? ;-) Jul 30 18:03:30 well after ressetting the device it should go into upgrade mode :p Jul 30 18:03:37 Why? Jul 30 18:04:06 Resetting the device makes it attempt to boot from internal flash. Jul 30 18:04:36 If you want to enter upgrade mode, you need to hold the reset button in for precisely the correct amount of time, as documented in the wiki article on entering upgrade mode using the reset button. Jul 30 18:04:54 yes and from there you should do a login through ssh Jul 30 18:05:10 Then you can use the upslug2 or the Windows upgrade utility (but NEVER the "eraseall" utility!) to reflash your firmware. Jul 30 18:05:42 xbox, you cannot login via ssh until you have a firmware flashed. I think perhaps we are not communicating or we are using the same words to mean different things. Jul 30 18:06:01 yes indeed and i did read line very carefully "but NEVER the "eraseall" utility!" Jul 30 18:07:27 Anyway, I must run for a bit to do some real-life thing -- I'd suggest checking the debian instructions very carefully, and especially if they do not document a root password, then you might try no password at all. Jul 30 18:09:06 okay back on your previous remark: "If you want to enter upgrade mode, ... mode using the reset button." it's burning orange after 1 sec. then it does not burn doing a king off boot sequence Jul 30 18:09:47 okay thnxs for your help mwester :) Jul 30 19:05:38 Ah, look - Reedy is here. He knows everything. Jul 30 19:05:43 :D Hi Mr. Reedy! Jul 30 19:05:56 * Reedy glares at mwester Jul 30 19:06:19 * mwester is still optimistic that he can shuffle off support issues here to Reedy. Jul 30 19:06:30 heh Jul 30 19:06:38 Who/what/where/when/why/how? Jul 30 19:07:00 As with most, answering those questions usually results in solving the issue ;) Jul 30 19:07:35 xbox is either trying to ssh into the debian installer, or reflash his/her NSLU2 -- it's not clear which ;-) Jul 30 19:07:38 mwester, sudo rm -rf * Jul 30 19:07:44 solves all :D Jul 30 19:08:03 :) for a short while, anyway! Jul 30 19:08:06 heh Jul 30 19:08:18 There are less and less people idling in here Jul 30 19:09:09 Yep. And less traffic on the ml too. Which is to be expected, the NSLU2 is no longer being made. Jul 30 19:09:15 True Jul 30 19:09:35 Did you buy a sheevaplug yet? Jul 30 19:09:40 Though, i think eno may have a job for life ;) Jul 30 19:09:43 Yup, i did Jul 30 19:09:50 Nice little device! Jul 30 19:10:03 I had mine running SlugOS. Jul 30 19:10:10 Yeah.. Although, other than setting up, and fixing the stock caveats.. I've not done anything with it Jul 30 19:10:27 As it didnt like the SDHC cards i bought, which was annoying (though fixable it would seem) Jul 30 19:11:26 You could rename it PlugOS :D Jul 30 19:11:33 I've thought about it. Jul 30 19:12:19 I still wouldnt mind knowing whats up with my 2nd nslu2 and trying to reflash it (ie the no network response at all etc) Jul 30 19:12:33 But for now, I've left things at the point where if you know what you are doing, you can just install the latest Sheeva kernel and the latest SlugOS jffs image, and it works. Jul 30 19:13:18 Reedy, just use jtag. Jul 30 19:13:26 heh Jul 30 19:13:29 Its serialised Jul 30 19:14:23 BTW, have you checksummed the redboot image on both, to make sure that the redboot is not damaged in some way on the failing one? Also, have you snooped the network to see if the failing one has a valid MAC address? Jul 30 19:15:46 Tbh, i cant really remember what i did or didnt try. Its been ages since. I know myself and Bullfrog (on the mailing lists) did try various things Jul 30 19:16:21 Job for when i've got spare time Jul 30 19:16:35 And i can harrass a developer for long enough ;) Jul 30 19:17:09 brb Jul 30 19:17:23 Ok, I have to run for a bit too. Jul 30 19:17:39 I'll see if i can help xbox when they're back Jul 30 19:17:52 I'll pop in and see if xbox or Appocomaster have had any luck or progress when I get a chance. Jul 31 01:25:12 hi Jul 31 01:25:44 funny to see there are more people active LOL Jul 31 01:27:48 anyway I flashed my slug with the upslug2 utillity but i can not login by using: "opeNSLUg" or "OpenSlug" and i do not have my capslock on :) what could i have done wrong? Jul 31 02:17:03 xbox, you might be using the wrong passwords. Jul 31 02:17:12 What did you flash onto the slug? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Jul 31 02:59:57 2009
