**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Mar 08 23:59:57 2005 Mar 09 00:13:27 hm.. silly, there's one in the FAQ : "Can I boot the NSLU2 with a USB device as the root filesystem? Yes, using the Unslung firmware (version 2.12-beta or later), with either a 1Gb or larger external hard disk plugged into either port, or a 256MB or larger flash disk plugged into the Disk1 port." Mar 09 00:13:39 but how? not a word :) Mar 09 00:15:29 switchbox perhaps? Mar 09 00:43:31 perlguru: How long would you expect a MCPAN install of XML::Writer to take? Mar 09 00:43:50 ... on Unslung Mar 09 00:48:19 After "quit" in the shell, it has been running for 2 hours real and 7min 50sec CPU time. 50MB virtual memory and ~14MB resident Mar 09 00:56:34 bob_tm-better, i have the kill the session. i seems to hang Mar 09 00:56:55 perlguru: Just did. It was running, but hard to tell what :-) Mar 09 00:57:27 kolla_: In 2.12 it is default Mar 09 00:57:54 kolla_: Sorry - not like that. You will only get it in 4.x Mar 09 01:03:56 kolla_: In the current alpha /linuxrc has some code commented out that does this. Whether it is operational or just remains of old inspiration is hard to tell. Looks good to me, but it is commented out for some reason. Mar 09 01:04:33 Uses /proc/sys/kernel/real-root-dev Mar 09 01:24:04 jacques: automake works, out of the box with my patched automake and fixed config.sh Mar 09 01:25:38 bob_tm-food: ok Mar 09 01:31:34 kergoth, nice Mar 09 01:32:15 kolla_: I think it refers to http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/MoreFlashRootHints Mar 09 01:32:25 jacques: okay, got autoreconf to alllllmost work. got hung up on the fact hat the m4 package emitted by oe is a different version than the m4 that was used at autoconf build time. so just need to make autoconf depends on m4-native.. Mar 09 01:32:38 jacques: tantalizingly close to building away happily Mar 09 01:33:02 <[g2]> kergoth, sounds way cool! will that get pushed today ? Mar 09 01:33:36 [g2]: thats the plan. i'm going to keep at this until i get bitbake and OE building in the colinux rootfs. Mar 09 01:34:48 <[g2]> Am I confused or did you mention that you got perl building cross earlier Mar 09 01:35:55 i havent tested the armeb targets Mar 09 01:36:07 but yes, i did, and confirmed that it works happily in my i686-linux-uclibc rootfs Mar 09 01:36:20 <[g2]> AWESOME! Mar 09 01:36:28 <[g2]> kergoth, IS THE MAN! Mar 09 01:36:29 (note: automake wouldnt be working if perl wasnt. automake is a perl script. as is autom4te, etc) Mar 09 01:38:37 <[g2]> yes what this means (with perl, automake, m4) that a full native toolchain package for OpenSlug may be available for testing in the next week or two Mar 09 01:38:56 yes. thats my goal. Mar 09 01:39:17 * [g2] hugs kergoth Mar 09 01:42:58 <[g2]> so how easy is colinux to install ? Mar 09 01:43:02 yay, autoreconf got as far as aborting due to missing libtool macros! Mar 09 01:43:06 * kergoth dances, then fixes libtool Mar 09 01:43:26 its painless. there's one xml configuration file to edit, and thats it Mar 09 01:44:22 aha Mar 09 01:44:30 the m4 macros for libtool went into 'libtool-dev' :) Mar 09 01:53:50 [g2]: autoreconf finished :) Mar 09 01:57:49 * kergoth works on making the ./configure happy Mar 09 02:28:48 woot Mar 09 02:29:04 swiped solar's gnu-config config.guess detects uclibc patch from the gnuconfig in portage Mar 09 02:30:57 * kergoth compiles autoconf packages inside hte oe rootfs Mar 09 02:31:00 * kergoth celebrates Mar 09 02:42:42 03ingeba * 10unslung/sources/ntop/ (configure.patch ltconfig.patch): Initial checkin Mar 09 02:45:29 03ingeba * 10unslung/make/ntop.mk: Initial checkin Mar 09 02:50:31 ByronT: Are you ByronT-sick or ByronT-recovered-from-cold? Mar 09 02:52:10 neither - "ByronT-still-feel-like-carp-but-at-work-anyways Mar 09 02:58:06 Hmmm ByronT - work is the big dilemma. Mar 09 03:00:53 it's either work or go broke... easy choice actually Mar 09 03:03:03 Yes, depends on the system in your country, I guess, as well as how wise your boss is. As an employer I would many times prefer an employee being sick at home rather than making all the other employees sick. Mar 09 03:03:39 two jobs here - VP for a manufacturing company and independent computer consultant Mar 09 03:04:02 Yeah, you're right- the more responsibility, the less option. Mar 09 05:26:09 het Mar 09 05:26:10 hey Mar 09 05:29:55 any1? Mar 09 05:33:00 Yes. Mar 09 05:33:41 bob - can you help with the samba failed info error - can you just copy a file to overwrite the samba conf or something? Mar 09 05:34:19 I don't know - have you followed what is written on the wiki? Mar 09 05:34:39 yes but to no avail Mar 09 05:35:54 bob_tm, check pm Mar 09 05:36:20 Not much I can add, I'm afraid Mar 09 05:36:44 hmm ok ta Mar 09 05:37:31 what is your linksys-firmware version? Mar 09 05:38:06 its the latest nslu2 one Mar 09 05:38:10 3.something Mar 09 05:38:19 ~nslu2-general Mar 09 05:38:20 #nslu2-general is the IRC channel specifically set up for end-user questions about the NSLU2 device. Questions that are not related to the nslu2-linux development projects should not be asked in #nslu2-linux, but should be asked in #nslu2-general instead. Mar 09 05:39:04 I'm in need of perl Compress::Zlib, but it requires native toolchain. Can anyone mail it or point to some info about cross build of perl modules? Mar 09 05:43:21 bob_tm: why not just install the native toolchain? ipkg install crosstool-native .... Mar 09 05:44:00 then ipkg install perl and perl -MCPAN -e install Compress::Zlib (or something like that) Mar 09 05:44:50 rwhitby-away: I don't have space Mar 09 05:45:06 Need to add second HD, but not possible until the hub works Mar 09 05:46:18 I've done module installs via CPAN and local "perl Makefile.PL" and there are just a few that needs GCC Mar 09 05:46:56 i get Cannot find package kernel-module-p8022 when i bb openslu-image. i modified the defconf file before. Mar 09 05:47:24 ...Zlib being one of them Mar 09 05:47:44 i already deleted tmp and build/tmp. Where do i get this package? Mar 09 05:48:17 What did you change in the defconfig? Mar 09 05:48:52 i removed some entrys. i found it in the wiki Mar 09 05:49:27 NTW, have you guys seen kergoths changeset 1.2930.1.100 comments yet? Mar 09 05:49:39 that might be relavent to the unslung toolchain. Mar 09 05:49:47 Set --with-sysroot for the target gcc build, which fixes the "missing syslim Mar 09 05:49:48 its.h" problem Mar 09 05:51:25 chrta, you need to re-add that module to yur defconfig because the openslug image depends on it. Mar 09 05:53:21 but there is no p8022 in the defconfig file, only in openslug.conf (kernle-module-p8022). Mar 09 06:00:46 CONFIG_PACKET maybe? Mar 09 06:00:59 [g2]: ping Mar 09 06:00:59 its one of those... Mar 09 06:01:18 [g2]: all my native build fixes are in. we're just about ready to have people do some native development testing in openslug Mar 09 06:01:19 <[g2]> kergoth, pong Mar 09 06:01:39 * [g2] hugs and kisses kergoth Mar 09 06:01:42 i can now install the necessary packages, cd into my source tree, do a config/autogen.sh && ./configure && make Mar 09 06:01:46 and it zips along happily Mar 09 06:01:53 the perl module situation is kinda ugly though Mar 09 06:02:01 thats my config : CONFIG_PACKET=m CONFIG_PACKET_MMAP=y Mar 09 06:02:01 i had to install like 30 of them manually Mar 09 06:03:53 chrta, compare your defconfig to the one in the repo. Its one of those options, I dont remember which. Mar 09 06:04:28 ok, thank you Mar 09 06:04:53 chrta, we recently trimmed the 2.6.11 defconfig so ext3 and jbd fit in the kernel again too. Mar 09 06:05:18 yes? is it in the repository? Mar 09 06:05:32 yeah, I think it was pushed 3 days ago or so. Mar 09 06:05:37 great Mar 09 06:11:51 <[cc]smart> n8 Mar 09 06:13:13 n8 Mar 09 06:13:19 oops Mar 09 06:25:28 good night Mar 09 06:40:28 03kin-kwok * 10unslung/make/asterisk.mk: Asterisk is a Free, Open Source VoIP/PBX System Mar 09 06:42:33 03kin-kwok * 10unslung/sources/asterisk/ (asterisk.patch config control postinst preinst rc.asterisk): initial soures chackin Mar 09 07:06:34 03kin-kwok * 10unslung/Makefile: add asterisk for native compile test Mar 09 08:07:46 03kin-kwok * 10unslung/sources/asterisk/postinst: updated comment and info Mar 09 08:08:11 how can it add a page to the wiki? do it need password? Mar 09 08:53:10 hummmmm, I have been building openslug for some time; just got the following error: "Nothing provides m4-native" Mar 09 08:53:24 looked in wiki with no result Mar 09 08:53:32 anyone else seen this error? Mar 09 08:54:15 from earlier today: [11:32] jacques: okay, got autoreconf to alllllmost work. got hung up on the fact hat the m4 package emitted by oe is a different version than the m4 that was used at autoconf build time. so just need to make autoconf depends on m4-native.. Mar 09 08:54:42 billwernet2: you need to add the new symlink if you're using the symlinks repo and it doesnt have it.. Mar 09 08:54:46 m4-native is required now Mar 09 08:54:56 great, thanks much Mar 09 08:54:57 speaking of which, autoreconf and everything are all nice and happy now. Mar 09 08:55:20 excellent Mar 09 08:55:41 * kergoth is slowly but surely working towards his goal of running oe in an oe built rootfs Mar 09 12:01:12 I have problem to compile openslug. Can anyone help me? Mar 09 13:08:05 goodnewscd: what is the problem? Mar 09 13:36:29 anyone know the cause behind a disappearing disk? Mar 09 13:36:40 (to the linksys web interface and samba) Mar 09 13:36:42 unlocked door? Mar 09 13:36:50 scanline: :) Mar 09 13:37:15 I think the problem coincided with when I installed busybox 1.0 from ipkg, but I'm not certain. Mar 09 13:37:35 everything else is working beautifully, but I can't get to my data :( Mar 09 13:38:39 what causes rc.bootbin to stop recognizing it and not mount the data partition? Mar 09 16:16:17 goodmorning Mar 09 19:42:01 re Mar 09 21:03:01 the IPKG update site is Down Mar 09 21:03:05 ipkg.nslu2-linux.org Mar 09 21:03:25 i cant do a ipkg update :( Mar 09 21:38:08 Magma82, try it now Mar 09 22:02:06 hi all Mar 09 22:02:27 my sda2 is full. what do u suggest i should do in order to add more ipkg packages?
