Jun 09 09:41:55 <SuperRoach> has anyone got nfs support on their openplug? I tried a apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common portmap   , and get the error when i try to start it: Not starting NFS kernel daemon: no support in current kernel.
Jun 09 09:43:47 <Md> SuperRoach: you do not want to use the original kernel and probably not the original install either
Jun 09 09:44:00 <Md> I configured NFSv4 with kerberos encryption and it works very well
Jun 09 09:52:16 <scelestic> it's just a linux box, everything should work very well on it ;)
Jun 09 11:04:16 <SuperRoach> md, scelestic - I havn't even been able to install an image onto a sd card for it yet
Jun 09 11:04:30 <SuperRoach> I'm not that trusting of my ability to update the os :p
Jun 09 11:04:48 <SuperRoach> I've got the option of putting samba on, but that seems a bit meh to go to
Jun 09 11:37:35 <Md> use a USB thumbdrive
Jun 09 11:46:25 <SuperRoach> md - I bought a sd card with a usb half to it - are they functionally different in use?
Jun 09 12:05:21 <SuperRoach> Well, this is the best guide I've found so far: http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SheevaPlug_Installer   I'll give it a try.
Jun 09 12:41:59 <scelestic> i found the one for installing debian on the plug the best guide, forgot the name who made it, i think it was a debian developer
Jun 09 12:45:10 <SuperRoach> hm, that one sounds interesting
Jun 09 12:50:07 <scelestic> http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/ there it is
Jun 09 12:50:17 <scelestic> for both sd card and usb disk/stick
Jun 09 12:51:13 <SuperRoach> wow! I'll totally try that now - sounds like everything i wanted
Jun 09 12:51:34 <scelestic> pretty much the only reason i wanted the plug, to run debian on it :)
Jun 09 12:52:00 <SuperRoach> i thought ubuntu was a debian varient anyway
Jun 09 12:52:11 <SuperRoach> my vps is on ubuntu, so least its semi similar at the moment.
Jun 09 12:52:47 <scelestic> true, ubuntu is based on debian
Jun 09 12:59:15 <SuperRoach> looks like a great guide
Jun 09 13:02:06 <scelestic> yep, worked great for me
Jun 09 13:16:31 <SuperRoach> formatting a usb drive is so difficult, hehe
Jun 09 15:00:00 <SuperRoach> gah :/ I have been trying to connect to the sheeva to access uboot. Using windows (xp), I plug the usb into the pc, mini usb to plug. I open putty in serial mode and leave it there, reboot plug. I never see any console input. What am I missing?
Jun 09 15:13:10 <kusznir__> SuperRoach: you've got to give it the right serial port...The USB one.
Jun 09 15:29:21 <SuperRoach> Thanks kusznir :) that got it working.
Jun 09 15:29:51 <SuperRoach> I followed through this guide: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html  and at the bottom these two lines are used:
Jun 09 15:29:55 <SuperRoach> setenv serverip 192.168.1.2
Jun 09 15:29:55 <SuperRoach> setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.200
Jun 09 15:30:59 <SuperRoach> In that example, the server was set as the tftp server, ipaddr was teh ipaddr of the openplug . It appeared to grab the uboot image, so all good. I think i may have errors though, so i Don't get past uncompressing "done, booting the kernal"
Jun 09 15:41:04 <SuperRoach> setenv bootcmd_usb          gives an error of invalid command? odd
Jun 09 15:49:37 <diego71> check the syntax ^^
Jun 09 15:56:26 <SuperRoach> thanks diego :) copy paste got me there.
Jun 09 18:41:55 <benno> Hi,
Jun 09 18:42:27 <benno> I think I messed up my plug. How do I reset it to factory defaults?
Jun 09 18:45:59 <_diego_> depends how hard you have messed your plug
Jun 09 18:46:31 <benno> Mostly it still works, but there's something wrong with the kernel
Jun 09 18:46:51 <benno> it says "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000280d0" when I try installing anything
Jun 09 18:47:08 <_diego_> uhm
Jun 09 18:47:32 <_diego_> are you using stock kernel or a custom one?
Jun 09 18:47:39 <benno> stock kernel
Jun 09 18:47:55 <benno> but I set the sd card to be the main drive
Jun 09 18:48:00 <_diego_> ok
Jun 09 18:48:07 <benno> it boots from the sd
Jun 09 18:48:31 <_diego_> nice, i should try it in a near future
Jun 09 18:48:53 <_diego_> but, it can just a problem in reading from sd
Jun 09 18:49:04 <_diego_> do you have a swap?
Jun 09 18:49:10 <benno> no
Jun 09 18:49:21 <benno> i thought that was it as well
Jun 09 18:49:28 <benno> but I don't know what to use as swap
Jun 09 18:49:42 <benno> (or how ;) )
Jun 09 18:49:53 <_diego_> mkswap /dev/device
Jun 09 18:50:01 <_diego_> swapon /dev/device
Jun 09 18:50:08 <_diego_> :)
Jun 09 18:50:29 <benno> and then the sd as the device?
Jun 09 18:50:54 <_diego_> a empty partion on sd
Jun 09 18:51:12 <_diego_> but you can also use an empty file for it (ofc is slower)
Jun 09 18:52:05 <_diego_> dd if=/dev/zero of=swap bs=1024 count=100000
Jun 09 18:52:19 <_diego_> mkswap swap
Jun 09 18:52:22 <_diego_> swapon swap
Jun 09 18:52:32 <_diego_> btw
Jun 09 18:52:47 <_diego_> dmesg give some errore while reading from sd?
Jun 09 18:54:36 <benno> ooh, I recognize that
Jun 09 18:54:40 <benno> what dmesg is giving me
Jun 09 18:55:13 <benno> Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address 000280d0
Jun 09 18:55:23 <benno> and lot's of stuff I don't nderstand
Jun 09 18:56:03 <_diego_> use pastebin
Jun 09 18:56:23 <_diego_> to post your dmesg
Jun 09 18:57:12 <benno> it's really long, just a second I outputted it into a file so I can copy it
Jun 09 18:58:42 <benno> http://www.mibbit.com/pb/5GDkDm
Jun 09 19:01:11 <_diego_> uhm, looks like something fs / disk related
Jun 09 19:01:52 <benno> I'll try a reboot
Jun 09 19:02:35 <_diego_> Process udevadm
Jun 09 19:02:58 <_diego_> something wrong with udev, i suppose
Jun 09 19:03:13 <benno> what's udev?
Jun 09 19:03:53 <benno> sorry I googled it already :)
Jun 09 19:04:00 <_diego_> ok ^^
Jun 09 19:04:36 <_diego_> btw, try with the new kernel 2.6.30rc8. It works fine to me.
Jun 09 19:04:48 <_diego_> but i'm using usb drive, instead of the sd
Jun 09 19:04:53 <benno> ok, how do I update my kernel?
Jun 09 19:05:24 <benno> (I'm new to linux btw if you hadn't noticed yet ^^)
Jun 09 19:05:36 <_diego_> http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=377.0
Jun 09 19:06:01 <_diego_> you should have a uImage somewhere on the sd
Jun 09 19:06:26 <_diego_> replace it with the new one (make a copy just to be safe)
Jun 09 19:06:52 <_diego_> and unzip modules on the sd (/lib/modules ....)
Jun 09 19:08:11 <_diego_> http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/sheeva-2.6.30-rc8-Modules.tar.gz
Jun 09 19:08:21 <_diego_> http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/sheeva-2.6.30-rc8-uImage
Jun 09 19:12:30 <_diego_> ofc, if you are not sure it works. You can use another sd for experiment
Jun 09 19:14:04 <benno> wow, "find / uImage" is spectacular to watch
Jun 09 19:16:13 <_diego_> do you have created the SD following this: http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SD_Card_As_Root_File_System?
Jun 09 19:16:23 <benno> yes
Jun 09 19:17:12 <_diego_> ok, uImage should be in the root
Jun 09 19:18:56 <_diego_> uhm
Jun 09 19:19:00 <benno> eh find: `uImage': No such file or directory
Jun 09 19:19:35 <_diego_> ok, no
Jun 09 19:19:50 <_diego_> it use the one from the nand
Jun 09 19:20:45 <benno> so I mount the nand and then update that one?
Jun 09 19:21:13 <_diego_> yes
Jun 09 19:21:44 <_diego_> but before you probably want to be more confident with uboot ^^
Jun 09 19:22:59 <_diego_> ok, go safe
Jun 09 19:23:04 <benno> you mean learn uboot commands? or practice booting?
Jun 09 19:23:24 <_diego_> insted of replacing uImage, just copy the new one with an easy name
Jun 09 19:23:38 <_diego_> and try to use it
Jun 09 19:24:37 <_diego_> both
Jun 09 19:25:10 <_diego_> using uboot commands to select the kernel, and boot
Jun 09 19:26:12 <_diego_> http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/U-Boot_Quick_Reference
Jun 09 19:26:42 <_diego_> (usb oriented indeed)
Jun 09 19:28:07 <_diego_> and this one is more interesting:
Jun 09 19:28:10 <_diego_> http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Multi-Boot
Jun 09 19:28:47 <_diego_> please note booting from a sd works only with a patched uboot
Jun 09 19:29:55 <_diego_> uhm
Jun 09 19:30:24 <benno> ugh, all I want to do now is just start over, get the sheevaplug in the mail again
Jun 09 19:30:34 <benno> that's harder than I thought
Jun 09 19:30:59 <_diego_> just to be clear
Jun 09 19:31:14 <_diego_> if you want to just start over
Jun 09 19:31:34 <_diego_> you can remove the sd and reconfigure uboot to start from nand
Jun 09 19:31:56 <_diego_> something like:
Jun 09 19:32:27 <_diego_> setenv bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs
Jun 09 19:32:37 <_diego_> boot
Jun 09 19:32:54 <_diego_> (from uboot prompt)
Jun 09 19:33:03 <benno> can I wipe my ubuntu install and reinstall it?
Jun 09 19:33:15 <_diego_> from nand or sd?
Jun 09 19:33:53 <benno> I want gnome and vnc, so I guess I'd have to use the sd card, right?
Jun 09 19:34:02 <benno> because they're big.
Jun 09 19:34:02 <_diego_> on sd: just boot from nand, and redo the procedure
Jun 09 19:35:00 <_diego_> with the two line above, you can boot from nand again
Jun 09 19:35:20 <benno> ok
Jun 09 19:38:22 <benno> wow, I booted and my screen filled with question marks
Jun 09 19:40:31 <_diego_> ?
Jun 09 19:41:48 <benno> http://www.mibbit.com/pb/czDPr9
Jun 09 19:43:13 <benno> I think I added a space after ttyS0 :S
Jun 09 19:43:26 <benno> Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(31,2)
Jun 09 19:46:54 <benno> sorry, I'll try some more stuff on my own
Jun 09 19:47:00 <benno> thak you so much for helping!
Jun 09 21:32:48 <tobias> scientes: any luck w/the serial console?
Jun 09 21:33:13 <scientes> nope
Jun 09 21:33:33 <scientes> I should try with another kernel or something
Jun 09 21:36:44 <tobias> weird
Jun 09 21:36:50 <tobias> i just got a fresh order of plugs today
Jun 09 21:37:05 <tobias> the usb device cable falls out VERY easily
Jun 09 21:37:13 <tobias> compared to the older one
Jun 09 21:37:13 <scientes> that happens with mine
Jun 09 21:37:19 <scientes> but you can keep it in
Jun 09 21:37:40 <tobias> but i guess you're seeing the device on the linux side.. just not reading anything from it
