**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Mar 09 23:59:56 2005 Mar 10 00:39:34 03ptweety * 10unslung/ (6 files in 3 dirs): bogofilter is ready for native only testing. Mar 10 01:09:55 hi all Mar 10 01:11:04 I have a question regarding support of char USB devices on the NSLU2 Mar 10 01:11:36 Did anyone manage to get a USB-to-serial device (ftdi_sio) running on the slug? Mar 10 01:23:24 got a problem bitbaking openslug-image: Nothing provides m4-native Mar 10 01:23:41 perlguru-work: m4-native is needed. add the missing symlink if you're using the symlinks repo. Mar 10 01:26:51 ok that worked Mar 10 01:28:00 ~praise kergoth Mar 10 01:28:02 All hail kergoth! Mar 10 01:28:37 that was fixed and added to the autoconf/autoconf-native deps to fix the target autoconf package, for openslug's native dev environment. Mar 10 01:28:46 didnt think about the fact that itd bust the symlinks setup Mar 10 01:29:34 a well. we all make mistakes. Mar 10 03:06:19 hi again Mar 10 03:06:59 can someone give me a hint at the procedure needed to get a usb_to_serial device working with the NSLU2? Mar 10 03:19:47 hi. what is the solution if my sda2-partition (/share/hdd/conf) is full and i wanna install more packages? Mar 10 03:51:27 <[cc]smart> on the slug ? find a bigger partition Mar 10 03:52:03 <[cc]smart> on the slug ? find a bigger partition Mar 10 03:52:24 all of a sudden i cant reach the Z-drive, which is my nslu2-drive over the network. any clues? Mar 10 03:53:15 <[cc]smart> tried to restart it ? Mar 10 03:53:56 sure ..no help .. i reach the data on that drive with ssh no prob Mar 10 03:54:05 but in my windows network i cant reach the z nomore Mar 10 03:54:25 <[cc]smart> do you see samba running in ps ? Mar 10 03:55:11 these: Mar 10 03:55:12 347 root 1144 S /usr/sbin/smbd -D Mar 10 03:55:12 349 root 1128 S /usr/sbin/nmbd -D Mar 10 03:55:15 ? Mar 10 03:55:31 <[cc]smart> looks ok Mar 10 03:55:50 hmm.. Mar 10 03:56:32 <[cc]smart> is "smbclient" onthe slug ? Mar 10 03:57:17 i dont think so Mar 10 03:57:22 <[cc]smart> if so, try "smbclient -L localhost Mar 10 03:57:37 no smbclient there Mar 10 03:57:43 (the command not on the slug) Mar 10 03:58:12 <[cc]smart> have you checked the slugs availability via network neighbourhood or only via "direct link" Mar 10 03:58:42 <[cc]smart> that is, utilizing the DOMAIN or workgroup name directly ... try neighbourhood - all in MS network Mar 10 04:00:55 cant find nothing under : Network neighborhood->mswindows-network Mar 10 04:01:08 that is i can find a workgroup but nuttin in Mar 10 04:02:35 <[cc]smart> one sec Mar 10 04:06:31 <[cc]smart> hmm. do you have another linux box ? Mar 10 04:13:28 nope Mar 10 04:14:37 <[cc]smart> were the daemons restarted or the slug ? Mar 10 04:14:44 the slug Mar 10 04:17:19 at some time my sda2 (share/hdd/conf) was 100% full, now i ipkg uninstalled some stuff..so its 97% now. Mar 10 04:18:37 has got nuttin 2do wit da samba failure? Mar 10 04:20:25 <[cc]smart> everything is possible, but in the case you freed some space now, i would have expected that it recovers by restart Mar 10 04:20:53 so do i have to re-unslung and all that stuff? Mar 10 04:21:24 <[cc]smart> wouldn't think so Mar 10 04:21:35 <[cc]smart> is "logread" on that slug ? Mar 10 04:22:58 nope Mar 10 04:24:13 <[cc]smart> kill smbd and try to run it on the console. that is, start it manually, without -D option and see what it says Mar 10 04:25:02 nogo Mar 10 04:25:20 <[cc]smart> what does it say ? Mar 10 04:25:50 i killed and started it..all good. but windows wont connect to the z-drive. Mar 10 04:26:02 <[cc]smart> so it's up on the ssh now Mar 10 04:26:20 sure Mar 10 04:26:43 <[cc]smart> is "iptables" on the slug ? Mar 10 04:28:48 no Mar 10 04:29:12 <[cc]smart> "testparm" ? Mar 10 04:29:24 you know whats crazy: i also cant connect to the nslu2-webpage! Mar 10 04:29:50 no testparm Mar 10 04:30:01 <[cc]smart> but you *can* connect via ssh ? Mar 10 04:30:11 ssh yes Mar 10 04:30:20 weired? Mar 10 04:30:42 <[cc]smart> netstat -lnp Mar 10 04:31:02 netstat: invalid option -- p Mar 10 04:31:03 <[cc]smart> or -ln Mar 10 04:31:06 k Mar 10 04:31:28 should i paste the results to your private window? Mar 10 04:31:49 <[cc]smart> k Mar 10 04:32:07 oops Mar 10 04:32:32 u got it? Mar 10 04:32:51 <[cc]smart> no Mar 10 04:33:32 ermm Mar 10 04:33:48 <[cc]smart> grr broke it Mar 10 04:33:51 <[cc]smart> one sec Mar 10 04:34:11 <[cc]smart> ill go and reconnect....

Mar 10 05:07:00 hi Mar 10 05:07:25 I seem to have issues with my network performance Mar 10 05:08:05 testing with netio gives me strange results Mar 10 05:08:49 slug (client) + linux-box (server) = 4 MByte Mar 10 05:09:51 linux-box (client) + slug (server) = 200 KByte Mar 10 05:10:28 can someone give me a hint what I can check? Mar 10 05:18:54 when I transfer files via scp i get ~300Kb from my Laptop to the slug Mar 10 05:20:19 which ssh server on the slug are you using? Mar 10 05:20:25 dropbear or openssh? Mar 10 05:21:59 openssh Mar 10 05:22:20 hm Mar 10 05:22:22 I've tested various transfers in all directions Mar 10 05:23:00 now: slug->linux-box is 5 times faster then linux-box->slug Mar 10 05:23:07 with scp Mar 10 05:23:13 flakey cable? Mar 10 05:23:40 hm, I'll go and check Mar 10 05:23:55 ok, then i'll go and sleep :P Mar 10 05:25:35 ahhh, that looks better Mar 10 05:25:40 thanks giel Mar 10 05:25:56 async transferspeeds are often cable faults Mar 10 05:26:06 sometimes the obviuos solution is the last that you think about Mar 10 05:26:13 ;-) Mar 10 05:30:24 that's were other, more sleepy people come in :) Mar 10 06:43:08 hi all. Are there any updates on the EHCI issue? Mar 10 06:50:16 <[g2]> hanjo David B. send a message on the arm linux ml today Mar 10 06:51:19 I think it is a general issue, since I have seen it also on x86 with a linksys 2.0 hub Mar 10 06:58:31 I was just going trough the channel logs... It looks like rwhitby-away has successfuly tested a usb-to-serial cable with EHCI directly connected to the NSLU2. Does anyone know what chip type it was? Mar 10 07:00:07 he has a PL2303. Mar 10 07:01:33 :( I am trying to get a FTDI based usb-to-serial device running without success... Mar 10 07:04:44 ehci shouldn't matter as none of the usb-serial chips are usb2.0 AFAIK Mar 10 07:04:57 yo peeps Mar 10 07:05:02 gotta prob with CUPS Mar 10 07:05:03 What does it do/not do? We put FTDI_SIO in the kernel. Mar 10 07:06:18 jacques, true but for some reason when ehci it turned on rwitby's usb serial (and other stuff) doesnt work right with a hub. Mar 10 07:06:18 my PL2303 based adaptor worked fine several months ago (haven't tried it lately) Mar 10 07:06:31 installed cups and it refuses connection on port 631 Mar 10 07:06:32 ah the hub thing Mar 10 07:06:38 if he turns off EHCI using OHCI only, it all works the way it should. Mar 10 07:06:43 Its all quite annoying. Mar 10 07:06:51 well that sucks Mar 10 07:06:51 jacques: I need EHCI so I can send USB 2.0 commands to the hub in order to power cycle a USB 1.1 device :) Mar 10 07:09:35 dyoung-zzzz: does it make a difference if I am using unslung or openslug? Mar 10 07:10:13 Oh, I was tlaking about openslug. Mar 10 07:10:21 I'm not sure where its at for unslung. I can check. Mar 10 07:10:31 installed cups and it refuses connection on port 631 Mar 10 07:10:35 can any1 help? Mar 10 07:10:47 start cups. Mar 10 07:11:12 how? Mar 10 07:11:52 Dunno, dont use it. Probably /opt/etc/init.d/Ssomething start Mar 10 07:12:55 hanjo, okay we have it in the able kernel but not the standard unslung kernel. Mar 10 07:13:09 dyoung-zzzz: OK, I will try to build my first openslug :) Mar 10 07:14:01 error: cant load shared libraries Mar 10 07:15:01 hanjo: hi Mar 10 07:16:06 I've run the following combinations: 1/ pl2303 unslung no hub, 2/ pl2303&ftdi openslug no hub, 3/ pl2303&ftdi openslug hub ohci Mar 10 07:16:42 I know that the following *don't* work at present: 1/ pl2303/ftdi unslung&openslug hub ehci Mar 10 07:17:05 I don't think I've tested the other combinations. Mar 10 07:17:25 My conjecture is that pl2303 and ftdi should work fine with unslung and openslug if directly connected. Mar 10 07:17:50 My experience is that if using a 2.0 hub with openslug, you need to disable ehci at the moment. Mar 10 07:18:35 rwhitby-web: tnx for the info Mar 10 07:18:46 I didn't really try too hard to get stuff working with a 2.0 hub in unslung, but remember that my first few attempts didn't work. Mar 10 07:19:08 any1 how do you start cups? Mar 10 07:19:13 if you use a 2.0 hub with openslug, and disable ehci, then everything hums. Mar 10 07:19:37 any1 how do you start cups? Mar 10 07:19:37 any1 how do you start cups? Mar 10 07:19:39 any1 how do you start cups? Mar 10 07:19:42 but not at 2.0 speeds :-\ Mar 10 07:19:51 jacques: correct :-) Mar 10 07:19:56 rwhitby-web: I know. I am not concerned about the speed. Mar 10 07:20:17 yeah, neither was I, cause most of the stuff hanging off is 1.1 stuff anyway. Mar 10 07:20:40 rwhitby-web: I need to issue USB 2.0 commands to the hub (cut power to a givven port), and those are not available with OHCI Mar 10 07:21:18 Hmm - I guess you have an incentive to help [g2] with the ehci problem debugging then :-) Mar 10 07:22:13 any1 how do you start cups? Mar 10 07:23:08 Gorx2: once more and you're kicked .... Mar 10 07:23:20 rwhitby-web: I am ready to help. I just need couple of hours first to figure the OE thing first :) I received my first NSLU2 today. Messing with the kernel is the easier part :) Mar 10 07:23:59 any1 how do you start cups? Mar 10 07:24:27 hanjo: if you're a kernel hacker and willing to work on the ehci issue, then please join us in #openslug Mar 10 07:26:12 rwhitby-web: Not as much as a kernel hacker, but I went trough the same story on x86 trying to get this project running. Now when I wanted to migrate x86->slug, it looks like I am facing the same issue. Mar 10 07:26:33 hanjo: even better - someone who's solved the problem before :-) Mar 10 07:27:04 cool, good plan! Mar 10 08:30:37 Just got a note from my Linksys/Cisco contact in Australia: Mar 10 08:31:21 "Has been a while, hope things are going well :). Just wanted to drop you a line and commend you on the very interesting work you and others have been doing on the NSLU2 developments - quite amazing the range of different projects that have been put together for it." Mar 10 08:32:30 heh Mar 10 08:32:31 So it seems that Linksys/Cisco Australia at least are aware of, and in approval of, the nslu2-linux project. Mar 10 08:41:50 cool Mar 10 08:42:11 so has anyone other than me tried the native compilation in an oe rootfs? Mar 10 08:42:15 any openslug confirmations? Mar 10 08:42:25 i'd like to see that perl config.sh actually tested Mar 10 08:44:05 i should buy some power strips and ethernet cables, anda ctually plug my slug in :P Mar 10 09:39:01 03dereky 07 * r1.3037.1.1 10openembedded/packages/linux/openslug-kernel_2.6.11.bb: change command line assignment, remove /deb/slug hack Mar 10 09:40:23 <[g2]> rwhitby-web, really on the Linksys/Cisco ? Mar 10 09:41:48 Yes, really. Mar 10 09:53:01 rwhitby-lunch: I wonder if I should talk to your Cisco/Linksys contact about ordering a hundred or so NSLU2s with unslung pre-installed :-) Mar 10 09:54:00 I guess I'll need to roll together an unslung-thin-puppy.img variant... Mar 10 09:55:16 <[g2]> peteru-home, are you interested in quantity 100 ? Mar 10 09:56:19 may be. I've been asked to prototype a NSLU2 based solution for automated EPG delivery to the toppy. Mar 10 09:57:00 if it goes commercial, there would probably be an initial run of 20-100 units and then we'd see if people want to buy it. Mar 10 09:57:26 <[g2]> I just got the gateworks device today Mar 10 09:57:50 the biggest challenge is getting 802.11 added. so far my research has not located any 802.11g USB dongles that might work with the NSLU2 Mar 10 09:57:55 <[g2]> They OEM boards and it's probably more toward your liking Mar 10 09:58:14 <[g2]> actually that *easy*, as this has 2 mini pci slogs Mar 10 09:58:18 <[g2]> slots Mar 10 09:58:44 <[g2]> there a myriad of mini pci A/B/G solutions Mar 10 10:00:00 yeah, the atheros mini-pci seems in a good state. netgear ship it in their broadcom/mips based WGT634U Mar 10 10:00:01 <[g2]> peteru-home, depending on speed you could even put two radios in for full duplex Mar 10 10:01:06 I need to squeeze a max of 20mbit/s from the box. Mar 10 10:02:00 the toppy USB2.0 port won't go any faster than that - not sure if it's the NetChip or the Toppy drivers, but it's very slow. Mar 10 10:08:45 <[g2]> peteru-home, this has 2 minipci's and another has 4, I've been looking around at minipci USB2.0 boards Mar 10 10:09:06 <[g2]> one of the interesting things is that a platform like this allows one to mix and match a little Mar 10 10:09:49 <[g2]> another option I'll be trying is the Gigabit Ethernet cards and maybe some real IDE/SATA/RAID chipsets Mar 11 00:26:05 nite Mar 11 01:21:38 New picture of slug-central: http://nslu2-linux.thestuffguy.com/gallery/slug-central/IMGP3299?full=1 Mar 11 02:41:45 hi all. any clue whats wrong if all of a sudden the samba-share seems no longer accessible on the net? all the other things ok.

Mar 11 09:30:33 access the webinterface I guess Mar 11 09:30:45 at least, that's what it says on the wiki Mar 11 09:31:18 true..for me it doesnt help me with the samba problem Mar 11 09:32:27 I dont get it, why did you enter maintainance mode to fix samba? Mar 11 09:33:07 cuz i misinterpreted you Mar 11 09:33:15 aha Mar 11 09:33:22 just dunno how to fix that samba thing Mar 11 09:33:26 maintenance... hm Mar 11 09:34:33 I just asked what entering maintenance mode actually means, I feel like downgrading my nslu2 at home with 2.12 Mar 11 09:35:03 sure. ijust was a bit too fast ;) Mar 11 09:35:07 :) Mar 11 09:35:32 so, what did maintencance mode mean for you? Mar 11 09:36:13 Wipmac, to correct the fail to get samba information, you need to do a reflash, followed by a reset sysconf, (all without HD attached) Mar 11 09:36:18 wahtever..its just the correct way to go if u wanna downgrade Mar 11 09:36:41 ByronT-Away: do you know what "maintenance mode" involves? Mar 11 09:36:52 resetting with root on ramdisk? Mar 11 09:37:01 and the german nslu2 group said that sometimes doing this 3-4 times in a row is needed to really correct the problem Mar 11 09:37:13 heh Mar 11 09:37:25 reflasing multiple times? nah, sounds like bad flash ram :) Mar 11 09:37:39 kolla_- 8MB / is not a problem - since the folders such as /opt are symlinked to hd partitions Mar 11 09:37:53 and with unslung EVERYTHING should go under /opt Mar 11 09:37:59 byron: that wont make me lose any data on the nslu2-hdd right? Mar 11 09:38:10 ByronT-Away: yeah well, I decide that for myself, dont I :) Mar 11 09:38:31 Wipmac, you should be doing the reflash, and resetting sysconf without hd attached Mar 11 09:38:47 same for me I guess Mar 11 09:38:54 byron: no re-unslung necessary=? Mar 11 09:38:57 better wait till I get home and can inplug the disk then Mar 11 09:39:04 unplug Mar 11 09:39:04 if you have hd attached, the sysconf (that is the problem) will pull the bad information FROM the hd Mar 11 09:39:29 what if you unmount first? Mar 11 09:39:32 and yes, you will need to re-unsling after each reflash, reset sysconf iteration Mar 11 09:39:59 kolla_, you're free to do with your nslu2 what you want to... Mar 11 09:40:01 byron: and all this process wont delete my data on /share/hdd/public/data . ok.. Mar 11 09:40:27 of course, we're free to take any direction with unslung and openslug that we want to.... Mar 11 09:40:49 yes, wipmac - unsling does not touch /data Mar 11 09:40:59 byron: another prob i had was that /share/hdd/conf was finally 100% full. any way to change that? it was not SO much ipkg's i have installed.. Mar 11 09:41:07 yesterday I tared /share/hdd to nfs and moved /opt to point the the nfs-opt, created a swap file on nfs, moved swap over there, unmounted the usb disk, repartitioned it and remoformattet new filesystems, and move back Mar 11 09:41:09 moved Mar 11 09:41:19 yeah, you can change the /conf size.... search the wiki Mar 11 09:41:51 ByronT-Away: I just wonder what happens if I "enter maintenance mode" :) Mar 11 09:42:16 guess I could follow the javascript/cgi code to find out, hunm Mar 11 09:42:31 and see what script it calls Mar 11 09:42:55 yes, I'm there now Mar 11 09:43:18 looks like it means booting to ramdisk Mar 11 09:43:36 Wipmac, check this link *AFTER* you correct the fail to get samba information... http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/CustomSizedPartitions Mar 11 09:43:41 touch /.ramdisk Mar 11 09:43:44 that's what it does Mar 11 09:43:47 and then reboots Mar 11 09:43:48 right Mar 11 09:44:05 thx byron. openslug isnt out a s binary yet is it฿ Mar 11 09:44:06 ฿ Mar 11 09:44:08 ? Mar 11 09:45:14 nope, we're still wading through license issues Mar 11 09:46:02 what is it that keep restarting services even when I "/opt/etc/init.d/SXXservice stop"? Mar 11 09:46:09 kolla_, why don't you build openslug or unslung 4.x if 3.18 isn't working for you? Mar 11 09:46:14 perhaps it's in the faq.. oh well Mar 11 09:46:42 ByronT-Away: why bother if 2.12 works? I dont know :) Mar 11 09:46:45 anyways, these questions should really be out of unslung dev channel Mar 11 09:46:51 ~nslu2-general Mar 11 09:46:53 #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 11 09:47:10 heh, never heard of -general before Mar 11 09:47:28 kolla_, because stuff gets fixed in later versions but not in earlier revisions.... Mar 11 09:47:33 topic here is wrong then :) Mar 11 09:47:36 "Discussion about modifying the Linux operating system on the Linksys NSLU2" Mar 11 09:49:01 ByronT-Away: I'm too lazy to dumb to understand the oe buildt system, ask kergoth :) Mar 11 09:49:06 lazy and dumb Mar 11 09:49:13 I've got to go... good luck on the fixes, wipmac... Mar 11 09:50:42 kolla_, you really don't want me to respond to that, do you? the devs and I have spent quite a few hours - for nothing other than our and other's enjoyment - to create and develop the community Mar 11 09:51:12 leaving! later all Mar 11 09:54:34 hm, I must have communication problems Mar 11 09:56:09 l8er byron thx Mar 11 09:59:23 yo got a prob with cups - how do you get it to start when the slug boots Mar 11 09:59:23 ?

Mar 11 10:03:39 nope Mar 11 10:03:50 reflashed 3.18 Mar 11 10:04:11 no no get linksys firmware R25 and boot into redboot Mar 11 10:04:22 and then upgrade using the upgadwe utility Mar 11 10:04:39 and then unsling the disk and everying Mar 11 10:04:44 look on the wiki its been updates Mar 11 10:04:48 updated* Mar 11 10:05:15 so not just reflash from 3.17 to 3.18, if samba is broken? grr...

Mar 11 12:11:11 <[g2]> VoodooZ_work, what's happening with your build Mar 11 12:11:25 Actually, I haven't changed a single thing in 1 month as there's too much stuff changing in openslug lately so I'm waiting for it to stabilize a little. Mar 11 12:11:56 findutils fails to configure. Mar 11 12:12:18 i just built findutils a few minutes ago Mar 11 12:12:24 not for armeb, but that isnt likely to affect a package like that Mar 11 12:12:55 I also have the findutils problem Mar 11 12:13:03 might be automake related according to the log Mar 11 12:13:03 but hell, my machine is patched all to hell, so who knows Mar 11 12:13:08 * kergoth checks for local modifs Mar 11 12:13:21 tho it's always hard to tell with auto* stuff - their error messages are not the best Mar 11 12:13:59 <[g2]> hmmmm I did do a pull from oe-devel this morning Mar 11 12:14:17 ah, my findutils is fixed locally Mar 11 12:14:19 I doubt it's my build either as It's a stock repo copy that I keep pulling in everyday Mar 11 12:14:21 couldve sworn i pushed that one Mar 11 12:14:25 hehehe Mar 11 12:14:27 heh Mar 11 12:15:08 <[g2]> bk sfiles -x is your friend :) Mar 11 12:15:23 * [g2] hugs kergoth Mar 11 12:15:38 :) Mar 11 12:15:40 indeed it is Mar 11 12:16:57 can someone point me to the place where patcher/quilt binaries reside in the tree?

Mar 11 14:46:17 <[g2]> dyoung-zzzz, from earlier today ? Mar 11 14:46:24 <[g2]> that it's a PCI problem Mar 11 14:46:39 yeah that one. Mar 11 14:46:41 <[g2]> no Mar 11 14:46:51 <[g2]> just kidding :) Mar 11 14:47:02 <[g2]> sure Mar 11 14:47:36 <[g2]> I was impressed that dsaxena admitted it was an issue on all ixp4xx platforms and he was going to look into it Mar 11 14:47:47 I wonder if we should mention to him the re-introduced bug for the expansion config base addr. Mar 11 14:48:20 <[g2]> When testing on the usb hub I got a different failure mode Mar 11 14:48:33 <[g2]> sure you can if you think that's correct Mar 11 14:48:34 [g2]: have you tested perl yet? Mar 11 14:48:46 <[g2]> kergoth, no :( Mar 11 14:48:55 jacques: have you? :) Mar 11 14:49:28 sorry, I haven't Mar 11 14:49:37 <[g2]> kergoth, I'm happy that it builds, I think we can turn a bunch of users loose on packages Mar 11 14:49:46 * kergoth nods Mar 11 14:49:47 <[g2]> and roll-up all the status on the wiki Mar 11 14:49:52 i'm pretty confident that its going to Just Work. Mar 11 14:50:11 <[g2]> I am too however, "Trust, but verify" Mar 11 14:50:16 * kergoth nods Mar 11 14:50:33 have you seen uClibc++ Mar 11 14:50:34 ? Mar 11 14:50:40 its a c++ standard library thats _tiny_ Mar 11 14:50:49 interesting Mar 11 14:50:50 <[g2]> cool Mar 11 14:50:50 its around 95K to libstdc++'s over 700 Mar 11 14:50:54 wow! Mar 11 14:51:00 not sure how complete it is though Mar 11 14:51:06 i'm going to test it in oe's toolchain Mar 11 14:51:13 do a build with the uclibc++ g++ wrapper Mar 11 14:51:15 see how it turns out Mar 11 14:51:21 [g2]: now try pumping data through the usb serial Mar 11 14:51:38 [g2] http://groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-linux/message/1663 Mar 11 14:55:17 <[g2]> rwhitby-away I can cat out /dev/ttyUSB0 Mar 11 14:55:40 <[g2]> I don't get any data but I think I'm double null modemed Mar 11 14:57:35 <[g2]> rwhitby-away, you know set tty chant ? Mar 11 14:57:35 dyoung-zzzz, hmm interesting post Mar 11 14:58:24 Jacques, that was fixed in 2.6.10, but the bad value made it back into 2.6.11 . Mar 11 14:58:43 hmm. great QA for the ARM branch then Mar 11 14:58:51 dyoung-zzzz, so it was wrong in both 2.6 kernels we've tried? 2.6.9 and 2.6.11 ? Mar 11 14:59:03 No, we are patching it. ;-) Mar 11 14:59:20 did we patch it in 2.6.9 ? Mar 11 14:59:32 heading home... later all Mar 11 14:59:39 later ByronT Mar 11 14:59:41 <[g2]> If it's really wrong then we should let the arm ml know and resubmit a patch Mar 11 14:59:50 <[g2]> see you ByronT Mar 11 15:00:16 yeah, its patched in 2.6.9 too. Mar 11 15:00:26 <[g2]> dyoung-zzzz, I was seeing a different error failure via the hub today Mar 11 15:00:57 back later. Mar 11 15:02:03 Jacques, I got lost in the 582 page developers guide for the ixp42x yesterday, and now I'm just plain confused as to why we're running at halfspeed. Mar 11 15:02:12 Will try to revisit it again today. Mar 11 15:02:33 jacques: I'm starting a full rebuild now Mar 11 15:03:12 <[g2]> rwhitby-away, it'll die in findutils Mar 11 15:03:33 kergoth hasn't pushed? Mar 11 15:04:15 <[g2]> rwhitby-away, he's at work, he will later Mar 11 15:04:22 it'll take at least an hour for me to get there anyway Mar 11 15:12:36 hey peeps Mar 11 15:12:52 <[g2]> hi gorx Mar 11 15:13:11 who is gorx Mar 11 15:13:18 <[g2]> dunno Mar 11 15:13:26 well then Mar 11 15:13:34 why did you call me it Mar 11 15:14:56 <[g2]> just because you have the same IP addr as a guy before Mar 11 15:15:01 <[g2]> gorkster (~NSLU2-IRC@cpc1-brmb1-3-0-cust185.bagu.cable.ntl.com) has joined #nslu2-linux Mar 11 15:15:07 <[g2]> krieges-marine (~NSLU2-IRC@cpc1-brmb1-3-0-cust185.bagu.cable.ntl.com) has joined #nslu2-linux Mar 11 15:15:12 do you know how to make services atart like chkconfig --level 35 cups on Mar 11 15:15:21 yes grokster was me Mar 11 15:15:46 *cough* gorx was ~NSLU2-IRC@cpc1-brmb1-3-0-cust185.bagu.cable.ntl.com Mar 11 15:16:18 oh maybe someone was on here before on my network Mar 11 15:16:25 anyway Mar 11 15:16:28 do you know how to make services atart like chkconfig --level 35 cups on Mar 11 15:16:47 amazing how everybody that uses your NTL cable connection at home wants to know about CUPS and how to get it to start Mar 11 15:17:01 <[g2]-pizza> dunno about cups Mar 11 15:17:10 <[g2]-pizza> I'm digging throught kernel issues Mar 11 15:17:32 <[g2]-pizza> do you know about PCI bus arbitration ?

Mar 11 15:21:29 cdo you know about starting services? Mar 11 15:22:11 or when you type /opt/etc/init.d start Mar 11 15:22:46 you get using /opt/lib/modules/printer.o Mar 11 15:25:25 heh, home now, but doing work work since i'm behind schedule :\ Mar 11 15:25:28 bleh Mar 11 15:25:39 wool Mar 11 16:14:47 kergoth: happy to report as another person waiting for the findutils :). You were all right that FC2 does not mix well with dev. I've tried the build on a debian and it just worked!. Strange... Mar 11 16:15:22 strange Mar 11 16:15:43 <[g2]-pizza> that we are all waiting on you, isn't that usual ? :) Mar 11 16:15:53 :) Mar 11 16:16:14 g2: I have a d-link usb 2.0 hub ready for testing :) Mar 11 16:16:15 heh, naw, was referring to the fc2 thing Mar 11 16:16:38 IMHO FC* should just be avoided Mar 11 16:17:00 yeah. right now it seems like ubuntu is the best bet Mar 11 16:17:06 <[g2]> I remember somewhere recently someone having a FCx and maybe 2 issue Mar 11 16:17:10 <[g2]> with building Mar 11 16:17:28 <[g2]> unless you build from source :) Mar 11 16:17:55 g2: plus a ftdi device, HP USB CD, and a Palm zire with an exported SD card for attaching on the hub :) Mar 11 16:18:24 <[g2]> you still need another 1/2 dozen devices to catch up with rwhitby :) Mar 11 16:18:55 heh Mar 11 16:19:37 I am not in that league jet :) Mar 11 16:19:39 * [g2] .... must resist..... plugging in ..... usb cd-r drive ... Mar 11 16:20:07 <[g2]> must resist bluetooth...... Mar 11 16:20:42 but when our testbed with >50 slugs is up an running, with 150 sensor nodes attached, I'll have something to add to the gallery :) Mar 11 16:21:06 <[g2]> can you mention what kind of sensors or is it a secret Mar 11 16:22:42 We are using WSNs jointly developed by us (TU Berlin) and Infineon, but they are representatives of a larger class of "motes" running TinyOS (www.tinyos.net) the "linux" for WSNs :) Mar 11 16:22:51 [g2]: whats the huge demand on findutils for anyway? Mar 11 16:23:07 it's part of the standard openslug-image build for some reason Mar 11 16:23:23 busybox has find Mar 11 16:23:25 whats the point? Mar 11 16:23:49 <[g2]> we use find / cpio to move the root fs to the hd / flash stick Mar 11 16:23:52 maybe bb find doesn't cut it Mar 11 16:24:06 <[g2]> nod. Mar 11 16:24:31 heh, looked at my findutils patch Mar 11 16:24:37 5 character change to one line. Mar 11 16:24:44 the error told you exactly what was wrong, for once Mar 11 16:24:45 heh Mar 11 16:24:54 * kergoth gets annoyed with being the auto* issue bottleneck Mar 11 16:25:31 <[g2]> cd / ; find . -print0 -mount | cpio -p -0 -d -m -u /mnt/card Mar 11 16:25:39 <[g2]> find /dev -print0 | cpio -p -0 -d -m -u /mnt/card Mar 11 16:26:06 <[g2]> I think it's the -print0 and mount options that were missing Mar 11 16:26:21 you can reproduce print0 with a short sed script Mar 11 16:26:29 mount _is_ a good reason to use the real one though. Mar 11 16:44:19 whee Mar 11 16:44:21 world build Mar 11 16:44:24 quite a few failures Mar 11 16:44:30 * kergoth has his work cut out for him Mar 11 19:00:56 hi all. The wiki mentiones a "splitnslu" tool for unpacking the image, but I can not find the sources for it. Hints? Mar 11 19:02:47 kergoth: can you paste the one line diff here for findutils? Mar 11 19:03:05 hanjo: use slugimage - it's in OE Mar 11 19:03:25 source is in the nslu sf.net CVS repo - module slugimgae Mar 11 19:03:28 slugimage Mar 11 19:06:42 rwhitby-away: do you remember the name of that IRC Proxy/Bouncer that Kergoth liked? Mar 11 19:07:47 ctrlproxy Mar 11 19:08:19 I want it too. I gave up on it after a twisted maze of dependencies ... Mar 11 19:09:02 I did bb slugimage-native Mar 11 19:09:24 has gorx left already? I was just about to help him with CUPS. I hear they are good for holding water .... Mar 11 19:09:45 hanjo: you'll find it under tmp/staging somewhere - do a find for slugimage Mar 11 19:10:08 it's just a perl script anyway Mar 11 19:10:29 yes it is here, but is giving me an error on the image Mar 11 19:10:48 home/handzisk/slug/tmp/work/slugimage-native-1.0-r2/slugimage/slugimage -u -i zImage-openslug Mar 11 19:10:48 substr outside of string at /lhome/handzisk/slug/tmp/work/slugimage-native-1.0-r2/slugimage/slugimage line 207. Mar 11 19:11:10 ah - you need to give it the full .img file Mar 11 19:11:27 ? Mar 11 19:11:29 oh yeah that was it, thanks. Mar 11 19:11:41 it takes a full 8MB image, not a kernel which you gave it Mar 11 19:12:43 I must be half sleeping, but this is the only file I see in deploy Mar 11 19:14:43 hanjo: did you bb openslug-image ? Mar 11 19:15:15 The 8MB .img file should be in tmp/deploy/images when bb openslug-image completes. Mar 11 19:17:28 rwhitby-away: eh? Mar 11 19:17:35 NOTE: package openslug-image-1.0: completed Mar 11 19:17:35 NOTE: build 200503120416: completed Mar 11 19:17:35 Build statistics: Mar 11 19:17:36 Attempted builds: 1 Mar 11 19:17:54 but only zImage inside Mar 11 19:17:57 :) Mar 11 19:18:10 19:26 < CIA-2> openembedded: kergoth * r1.3063.2.1 openembedded/ (3 files in 3 dirs): Fix the findutils build. Mar 11 19:18:20 kergoth: thx Mar 11 19:18:27 rwhitby-away: i think you're a bit out of hte loop. Mar 11 19:18:28 heh Mar 11 19:18:32 thtat was hours ago Mar 11 19:18:43 yeah, just got back from town Mar 11 19:19:06 I give up for to(day)(night). Catch you all tomorrow... Mar 11 19:19:37 which is why bk changes is your friend when you get back from tow n:P Mar 11 19:19:39 night hanjo Mar 11 19:19:50 kergoth: indeed. my bad :-) Mar 11 19:20:22 hanjo: I'm just about to complete a full build. Mar 11 19:21:17 :) This is my 4th or 5th today :) Mar 11 19:21:46 But I moved to a debian box, so at least the patching errors are gone Mar 11 19:21:54 does the stdout show bb doing openslug-image? Mar 11 19:22:06 is there anything in tmp/rootfs ? Mar 11 19:23:09 yes, it is populated Mar 11 19:23:13 bin boot dev etc home initrd lib media mnt proc sbin sys tmp usr var Mar 11 19:23:17 etc Mar 11 19:25:05 maybe this is a hint: Mar 11 19:25:07 mkfs.jffs2: skipping device_table entry '/dev': no parent directory! Mar 11 19:25:18 hanjo: that one's harmless Mar 11 19:26:19 hanjo: is there a log file in tmp/... ? Mar 11 19:27:51 only the above line Mar 11 19:28:05 in a log.image_cmd.21458 Mar 11 19:28:11 * [g2] is flashing the latest build from a wiped ./tmp Mar 11 19:28:40 <[g2]> flashed/rebooting Mar 11 19:28:42 i think there is some dark spell over me :( Mar 11 19:28:53 <[g2]> embedded linux ? Mar 11 19:29:06 hanjo: my build will be there soon, and I can tell you what should be in log.image_cmd Mar 11 19:29:10 <[g2]> I've been under that spell for a little while too Mar 11 19:29:48 :) I like my TI MSP430 better. Everything is sooo simple :) Mar 11 19:30:41 BTW when/if the slug is up and running, I would have to build the tools for flashing the msp430 on it... Mar 11 19:31:20 couple of c libs which should not be a problem, but the main tool is written in python Mar 11 19:31:34 anyone trying perl/python packages ? Mar 11 19:31:40 hanjo: python works on openslug Mar 11 19:31:46 great Mar 11 19:31:52 I was able to run ipkg-make-index which is a python script Mar 11 19:32:05 <[g2]> that latest pull and clean build works Mar 11 19:32:20 straight out of OE were the ipks that I used for python Mar 11 19:32:33 what about the size? Is there a chance to run only from internal flash? Mar 11 19:32:47 we don't want to put HD on the slugs Mar 11 19:33:02 dunno. you can run rootfs from a 256MB flash disk :-) Mar 11 19:33:25 actually with openslug you can run rootfs from an nfs server ... Mar 11 19:33:32 yes ? Mar 11 19:33:41 that would be the optimal solution Mar 11 19:33:49 should work today Mar 11 19:34:02 dyoung-zzzz and glc are the experts on that Mar 11 19:34:13 first things first :) Mar 11 19:34:16 <[g2]> hanjo, how price sensitive are you ? Mar 11 19:34:44 well, hard to tell, but we don't want to go over 200$ per spot Mar 11 19:35:01 keeping it under 100 will be great :) Mar 11 19:35:11 <[g2]> depending on what you do for a case the gateworks are: Mar 11 19:35:29 <[g2]> 64MB Ram, 16MB flash and 2X speed Mar 11 19:35:36 <[g2]> plus to minipci slots Mar 11 19:35:44 and usb ? Mar 11 19:35:49 <[g2]> it's got a 1.1 Mar 11 19:35:54 hmmm Mar 11 19:36:01 kergoth: in do_rootfs, I'm getting the following error from ipkg: Mar 11 19:36:02 + ipkg-cl -f /home/openslug/tmp/work/openslug-image-1.0-r6/temp/ipkg.conf -o /home/openslug/tmp/rootfs update Mar 11 19:36:02 ipkg: Cannot create directory `/usr/lib/ipkg': Permission denied Mar 11 19:36:03 we need usb 2.0 for power control Mar 11 19:36:17 <[g2]> power control ? Mar 11 19:36:22 i have the same error Mar 11 19:36:26 it looks like the -o switch to ipkg is not stopping it from trying to put things under /usr/lib/ipkg Mar 11 19:36:59 g2: we need to be able to cut power to the nodes (for simulation of reliability etc.) Mar 11 19:37:20 <[g2]> well these also run POE Mar 11 19:37:22 g2: for that we have now usb 2.0 hubs connected to our production PCs Mar 11 19:37:44 and we send USB 2.0 commands to the hub to cut power on a given port Mar 11 19:38:19 <[g2]> is lots of data sent over the port ? Mar 11 19:38:59 g2: the devices attached to the hub are usb 1.1 with max speed 115000 Mar 11 19:39:14 but the actual data is less then that Mar 11 19:39:28 <[g2]> right so 1.1 is fine because it's 12Mbs Mar 11 19:39:55 hanjo: my build completed and dumped the image correctly Mar 11 19:40:39 I better go and get some sleep :) Mar 11 19:40:51 hanjo: look in tmp/work/openslug-image-*/temp/log.do_rootf.* Mar 11 19:41:02 that should tell you what went wrong Mar 11 19:41:12 log.do_rootfs.* Mar 11 19:41:45 everything looks normal, Mar 11 19:42:01 I get the same permission denied error Mar 11 19:42:04 does slugimage run at the end ?

Mar 11 19:42:35 yes Mar 11 19:42:41 ok, that's failing then Mar 11 19:42:47 ok Mar 11 19:43:04 do you have something special set which causes shell scripts to exit on an error? Mar 11 19:43:25 not that I know of Mar 11 19:44:15 I will rm tmp :) start again and get some sleep. Will debug tomorrow Mar 11 19:44:25 hanjo: don't rm tmp Mar 11 19:44:52 your problem seems to be in the very last step, and has nothing to do with all the other packages which have already been built. Mar 11 19:45:13 what will happen if I do bb -c clean openslug-image ? Mar 11 19:45:26 after that line, ipkg should run, and install all the ipkgs into the rootfs Mar 11 19:47:35 rwhitby-away: that isnt an error. Mar 11 19:47:50 rwhitby-away: the /usr/lib/ipkg thing, it isnt whats causing your actual failure. Mar 11 19:53:04 can you tell me trough what stages does the openslug-image go? I get only do_fetch, do_rootfs, do_build reported Mar 11 19:53:17 and then it completes Mar 11 19:53:19 kergoth: I know it's not causing hanjo's error (my build completes fine), but I don't think it's intended. I'll look into it. Mar 11 19:53:30 no do_install etc Mar 11 19:53:47 hanjo: thats fine. Mar 11 19:53:55 those are the only tasks we care about. Mar 11 19:54:12 the .bb is in full controe. Mar 11 19:54:22 ver what tasks exist for it, and how they behave. Mar 11 19:54:33 gah Mar 11 19:54:36 i hate windows Mar 11 19:54:43 gah Mar 11 19:54:46 i hate windows Mar 11 19:54:53 ahhhsjdaklhgkash Mar 11 19:55:03 ahhhsjdaklhgkash Mar 11 19:55:19 i overran its keyboard buffer or something Mar 11 19:55:28 lost some data, duplicated others Mar 11 19:55:57 can I only repeat the last steps of the openslug-image process? some magical bb -c clean etc ? Mar 11 19:56:26 ? Mar 11 19:56:34 just bitbake openslug-image again. Mar 11 19:56:45 images always run, and always clean themselves. Mar 11 19:56:53 ok Mar 11 19:56:59 I've tried that already Mar 11 19:57:06 Sorry guys Mar 11 19:57:28 hanjo: don't be sorry - you've got some weird error that we've never seen before. Mar 11 19:57:29 for putting you trough the trouble Mar 11 19:57:52 I personally am interested in getting you up and running so you can help us knock over the ehci problem. Mar 11 19:57:53 Maybe I should try yet on another box :) 3rd luck :) Mar 11 20:01:20 kergoth: is there any way that hanjo can run the run.do_rootfs and give -x to the shell so he can see what it is doing at each step? Mar 11 20:02:35 eh? Mar 11 20:02:41 bitbake -D Mar 11 20:02:44 (debug level 1) Mar 11 20:02:49 does exactly that. Mar 11 20:02:58 cool - thx Mar 11 20:03:39 kergoth: any objection to me adding a conf/machines/wl500g.conf and a conf/distro/openasus.conf ? I'm using OpenEmbedded to build packages for Oleg's Asus WL-500g firmware at wl500g.dyndns.org - I'm convincing him to use ipkg for it.

Mar 11 20:05:18 hanjo: use the -D switch to bitbake Mar 11 20:05:25 you mean, run the run. script at the commandline? Mar 11 20:05:28 bb -D openslug-image Mar 11 20:06:18 kergoth: that's what I did: ./run.... Mar 11 20:06:42 I'll try with the DD Mar 11 20:06:50 whith the -D Mar 11 20:08:48 :) Mar 11 20:09:02 it created the image file now somehow Mar 11 20:09:27 Not sure if the manual .run or if the bb -D helped Mar 11 20:10:19 ~/code/openembedded$ ls ../build-x86/tmp/deploy/ipk/|wc -l Mar 11 20:10:19 4956 Mar 11 20:10:23 heh, getting there Mar 11 20:12:51 are you guys always testing it in ram first? Mar 11 20:13:13 no, most of us have serial Mar 11 20:13:39 you need to have the mtd partition map in flash anyway. Mar 11 20:14:15 as long as you have redboot access, it's no danger. Mar 11 20:14:43 so I should flash right away? Mar 11 20:16:04 can I flash openslug via the web interface ? Mar 11 20:16:13 yes Mar 11 20:16:29 but you know you should go to sleep first :-) Mar 11 20:16:42 don't mention it Mar 11 20:16:44 but we know that you won't be able to :-) :-) Mar 11 20:16:51 my wife is going to kill me Mar 11 20:17:18 I have to baby sit my daughter tomorrow, and I'll be a zombie Mar 11 20:17:23 <[g2]> rwhitby-away, before I go to sleep, what's the protocol for adding packages to openslug-packages ? Mar 11 20:17:28 <[g2]> That just build ? Mar 11 20:17:40 <[g2]> initially Mar 11 20:17:45 just add them to openslug-packages Mar 11 20:17:51 and nslu2-package-symlinks Mar 11 20:18:16 <[g2]> you're still building with the symlinks eh ? Mar 11 20:18:17 it's all alpha, so building is test enough :-) Mar 11 20:18:31 yep - I can't stand the wait for all 2000 packages Mar 11 20:19:18 <[g2]> beewoolie's parser parsed the full boat in like 6 seconds Mar 11 20:19:42 <[g2]> it was 1 second for our 342 packages at the time Mar 11 20:20:15 <[g2]> I'm going to be instrumenting some timer in the event handers and running some tests Mar 11 20:21:08 will I have telnet access after openslug is flashed? or ssh? Mar 11 20:21:17 <[g2]> ssh Mar 11 20:21:27 make sure that you have set static IP! Mar 11 20:22:03 is dropbear still the default or has openssh become the default? Mar 11 20:22:15 I have a statick IP. Mar 11 20:22:43 but the web interface just froze on the toggling maintenance mode Mar 11 20:23:29 hanjo: use redboot or slugimage instead, you'll need to use them for the next flash, so get used to them now :-) Mar 11 20:24:35 :) Mar 11 20:25:31 <[g2]> nite all Mar 11 20:27:11 can slugimage flash? I thought it is another tool Mar 11 20:27:35 oops: upslug Mar 11 20:29:31 does it has to be in maintenance mode the first time ? Mar 11 20:30:27 or upslung is going to take care of that? Mar 11 20:31:56 the parameters of upslung have to be changed Mar 11 20:32:09 it is so easy to misstype -u and -U Mar 11 20:34:21 : Mar 11 20:34:24 :Q Mar 11 20:34:33 still wrong window. Mar 11 20:35:27 you people dont look very away to me Mar 11 20:35:27 :) Mar 11 20:41:16 uups. The led remained red after flashing :( Mar 11 20:44:39 arrgh. off to sleep Mar 11 20:44:55 it is not reachable over the net Mar 11 20:45:44 kergoth, we're watching Leno's "All Michael Jackson Monologue" Mar 11 20:46:47 from the monologue: "What did Michael Jackson tell his priest?" Mar 11 20:46:54 "I saw him FIRST!" Mar 11 20:50:12 hehe **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri Mar 11 23:59:57 2005
