**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jul 25 02:59:57 2011 Jul 25 23:03:13 Hello everyone! I just got my DreamPlug today and am having some problems connecting to lighttpd Jul 25 23:03:37 2011-02-21 20:01:27: (log.c.75) server started Jul 25 23:03:38 2011-02-21 20:01:27: (mod_fastcgi.c.904) bind failed for: unix:/tmp/php.socket-0 Permission denied Jul 25 23:03:38 2011-02-21 20:01:27: (mod_fastcgi.c.1358) [ERROR]: spawning fcgi failed.

Jul 25 23:09:56 Ok, I did chown 1777 /tmp, and now I'm getting this: Jul 25 23:10:07 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php5/2006061$ Jul 25 23:10:07 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/mysqli.so' - /usr/lib/php5/200606$ Jul 25 23:10:07 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php5/2006061$ Jul 25 23:10:07 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/mysqli.so' - /usr/lib/php5/200606$ Jul 25 23:10:07 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/pdo_mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php5/200$ Jul 25 23:10:08 PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/pdo_mysql.so' - /usr/lib/php5/200$ Jul 25 23:25:20 Zetaphor: do you have mysql installed? Jul 25 23:37:21 I solved that problem lol Jul 25 23:37:30 Now I've got another Jul 25 23:37:58 I plugged in a thumbdrive that's currently formatted as fat32, I want to format it to ext3/4, I'm not sure where to find it, and I don't know which ext version I need Jul 25 23:38:16 fdisk -l Jul 25 23:38:23 find the drive with that ^ Jul 25 23:38:28 but Jul 25 23:38:34 i would use my laptop/desktop to format it with gparted Jul 25 23:38:37 Ok, it's sdc Jul 25 23:38:42 Why not on the plug? Jul 25 23:38:56 because using the command line for formatting drives is hard =p Jul 25 23:39:02 lol Jul 25 23:39:16 Well my laptop/desktop is Windows, and I need to learn this stuff one way or another Jul 25 23:39:21 To Google! Jul 25 23:39:35 Any reccomendation on which filesystem to use? Jul 25 23:39:49 It's a 32GB thumbdrive, kind of slow, one of the earlier models of that size Jul 25 23:40:00 what do you plan to do with it? Jul 25 23:40:36 I'm going to be using it for interim external storage for just about everything, movies/music/code, etc. I eventually want to get an external HD over eSata Jul 25 23:40:58 so ext4 would be good then Jul 25 23:41:06 Whats the major difference? Jul 25 23:41:09 really the only option you would consider is between ext2 and ext4 Jul 25 23:41:20 ext3 introduced journaling over ext2 Jul 25 23:41:26 Oh ok Jul 25 23:41:26 and ext4 improved ext3 Jul 25 23:41:38 so there's no reason to use ext3 if ext4 is an option Jul 25 23:41:41 Here's another question Jul 25 23:41:47 only thing to consider is if you want journaling or not Jul 25 23:41:47 ok Jul 25 23:41:53 In case it hasnt been made obvious, I'm somewhat of a linux noob Jul 25 23:42:15 Aside from patches, is there any major reason for me to go through the learning experience (and potential damage) of upgrading my kernel? Jul 25 23:42:45 what kernel are you on now? Jul 25 23:42:52 Not sure, how would I check? Jul 25 23:43:01 uname -r Jul 25 23:43:10 I just got this thing today, and all my previous CLI experience has been using Ubuntu on my netbook Jul 25 23:43:21 2.6.33.6 Jul 25 23:43:33 ah, so you've got like, the default plug Jul 25 23:43:33 lol Jul 25 23:43:39 yeah i'd say upgrade it Jul 25 23:43:46 no reason not to, with such an old kernel Jul 25 23:43:51 lots of improvements/bugfixes Jul 25 23:43:55 Does that result in a datawipe? Jul 25 23:43:58 nope Jul 25 23:44:00 all you have to do Jul 25 23:44:09 is replace the uImage file at /boot/uImage Jul 25 23:44:11 with one from Jul 25 23:44:16 http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/ Jul 25 23:44:25 also extract the modules tarball into / Jul 25 23:44:28 Will that void my warranty? Jul 25 23:44:44 nope Jul 25 23:44:47 Awesome Jul 25 23:44:53 anything you do in software keeps the warentee intact Jul 25 23:44:59 only thing the warentee covers is the hardware Jul 25 23:45:06 so just don't break that sticker and you're good Jul 25 23:45:11 Awesome Jul 25 23:45:17 http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/2.6/2.6.39/2.6.39.3/ <- you could use a kernel like the uImage there Jul 25 23:45:26 I was under the impression that a distro change via jtag would void warranty Jul 25 23:45:30 I'm glad I was wrong Jul 25 23:45:45 i wouldn't do it via jtag Jul 25 23:45:47 too slow Jul 25 23:46:05 i just copied the default system onto a usb drive, booted from it, then put a new system onto the internal memory Jul 25 23:46:07 I didn't end up getting the module Jul 25 23:46:21 ah.. well you kind of need the jtag Jul 25 23:46:26 to do anything cool, anyway Jul 25 23:46:29 like booting from usb or sd Jul 25 23:46:34 Ah hell Jul 25 23:46:34 lol Jul 25 23:46:41 luckilly they made it easy now, to upgrade the kernel Jul 25 23:46:58 Can I perform an in-place upgrade without booting from usb? Jul 25 23:46:59 so pretty much as long as you're booting from the internal memory you should be fine Jul 25 23:47:08 you can upgrade between debian versions, yeah Jul 25 23:47:19 but like, if you wanted to put gentoo or something, then no, you have to reboot Jul 25 23:47:24 you have to reboot anyway Jul 25 23:47:26 Gotcha Jul 25 23:47:32 if only to make the new changes take effect Jul 25 23:47:41 Alrighty, not about Bluetooth Jul 25 23:47:50 The damn light has been on and blinking since I first powered it on Jul 25 23:47:56 XD Jul 25 23:48:02 you can just unload the module iirc Jul 25 23:48:05 it should turn it off Jul 25 23:48:06 I've stopped the service, and it shows as being stopped, but the light persists Jul 25 23:48:12 How do I unload the module? Jul 25 23:48:17 or maybe you can echo 0 into the little node thingy Jul 25 23:48:19 uh Jul 25 23:48:21 Again, linux noob Jul 25 23:48:31 i don't remember the module name it uses Jul 25 23:48:31 I did see the bit about echo light control Jul 25 23:48:41 rmmod Jul 25 23:48:47 if you find the name, such as from, lsmod Jul 25 23:49:00 dreamplug-debian:/dev# rmmod bluetooth Jul 25 23:49:01 ERROR: Module bluetooth is in use by bnep,btmrvl_sdio,btmrvl,sco,rfcomm,l2cap Jul 25 23:49:01 dreamplug-debian:/dev# Jul 25 23:49:03 Just tried that Jul 25 23:49:17 I assume those are dependencies? Jul 25 23:49:41 those are other modules that are using the bluetooth module Jul 25 23:50:24 I'm assuming those are bluetooth services by the names Jul 25 23:50:26 you could try unloading them too Jul 25 23:50:42 i think unloading btmrvl_sdio should unload all Jul 25 23:50:43 iirc Jul 25 23:51:03 i don't have bluetooth enabled on my plug atm, so i don't know exactly what has to be done to disable it Jul 25 23:51:20 Right Jul 25 23:51:47 You've been a great deal of help Toot, thank you Jul 25 23:52:04 you're welcome =D Jul 25 23:56:28 Ok, I've created a partition using the fdisk command menu, but System just reads as Linux Jul 25 23:56:38 I assume thats a linux partition with no filesystem? Jul 25 23:58:21 i'm not sure what fdisk will make that partition Jul 25 23:58:26 better to just use mkfs.ext4 Jul 25 23:58:40 fdisk will probably make it ext2 Jul 25 23:58:49 Wrote the partition, now mkfs is running Jul 26 00:00:00 Is there a way I can verify the filesystem once this is done? Jul 26 00:00:24 yeah, just mount it without explicitly giving the filesystem type Jul 26 00:00:25 then do Jul 26 00:00:25 mount Jul 26 00:00:30 and it will list all the mounted partitions Jul 26 00:00:33 so like, Jul 26 00:00:46 ``mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt; mount | grep mnt'' Jul 26 00:01:02 where sdc1 is your partition Jul 26 00:01:13 (and /mnt is anywhere you want to mount it temporarily) Jul 26 00:01:27 Awesome, it worked Jul 26 00:01:30 Thanks again Jul 26 00:01:32 This is awesome Jul 26 00:01:33 np =) Jul 26 00:01:46 I was scared of linux when I was on ubuntu lol Jul 26 00:01:51 XD Jul 26 00:01:54 Yeah Jul 26 00:01:57 well debian is pretty much the same Jul 26 00:01:59 sort of Jul 26 00:02:08 you want scary, try gentoo ;p Jul 26 00:02:09 From what I've gathered Ubuntu is a modified debian Jul 26 00:02:19 yeah ubuntu derived debian's codebase in like 2006 Jul 26 00:02:20 That's what I hear Jul 26 00:02:20 lol Jul 26 00:02:41 they kind of operate as sister projects now, pushing changes back and forth between them Jul 26 00:02:42 I'm just a lowly windows user, got less than a year or so in all this Jul 26 00:02:58 And all the cli I did in ubuntu was only when needed Jul 26 00:03:16 Now will that mount on boot? Jul 26 00:03:39 nope Jul 26 00:03:45 you have to tell it where you want it, via /etc/fstab Jul 26 00:03:57 Example? Jul 26 00:04:03 where do you want to mount it at? Jul 26 00:04:08 I dunno Jul 26 00:04:09 lol Jul 26 00:04:14 lol Jul 26 00:04:15 Somewhere accesible Jul 26 00:04:15 also Jul 26 00:04:21 ls -lah /dev/disk/by-uuid/ Jul 26 00:04:32 and see what the uuid of your drive is, so you can always get the right device Jul 26 00:05:05 Theres only a uuid for sda2, my mount is sd1c Jul 26 00:05:12 an example line for fstab would be: UUID=blah /path/to/mount/point ext4 defaults 0 0 Jul 26 00:05:13 Err sdc1 Jul 26 00:05:39 hmm Jul 26 00:05:50 see thats why making partitions is hard on the command line lol Jul 26 00:05:54 doesn't always get done with the right flags Jul 26 00:06:07 Thats what I get for going all cowboy on it Jul 26 00:06:41 Can I assume it's always going to be under /dev/sdc? Jul 26 00:06:52 If thats the case I could just add a mount to my bootscript Jul 26 00:07:02 it's usb? Jul 26 00:07:08 Yeah, thumbdrive Jul 26 00:07:24 i would say no, not always gaurenteed to be sdc Jul 26 00:07:37 a uuid, if one exists for the drive, is gaurenteed to be the drive though Jul 26 00:07:48 Is that UUID associated with the partition or the drive itself? Jul 26 00:07:53 partition Jul 26 00:07:56 Ah ok Jul 26 00:08:27 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-02-21 20:42 1A11-2319 -> ../../sdc1 Jul 26 00:08:34 Is that a UUID? It looks too short Jul 26 00:08:41 I'm used to 32 char Jul 26 00:09:01 that looks like a fat32 uuid Jul 26 00:09:09 wtf Jul 26 00:10:11 Hmm, I may have to boot up into gparted after all Jul 26 00:10:21 you sure the ``mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt; mount | grep "/mnt"`` shows 'ext4' on the line, and not vfat? Jul 26 00:10:26 Realistically how often should I reboot this thing? Jul 26 00:10:31 never Jul 26 00:10:31 lol Jul 26 00:10:43 i had uh, an 80 day uptime before i restarted my guruplug last Jul 26 00:11:02 Awesome, then that pretty much takes care of that problem Jul 26 00:11:05 lol Jul 26 00:11:12 Out of sight, out of mind Jul 26 00:11:19 well the thing is though Jul 26 00:11:24 that after 80 days of not messing with it Jul 26 00:11:30 when that one random power surge rolls through Jul 26 00:11:34 and you forget how to mount your drive Jul 26 00:11:39 it's best to have it done automatically ;) Jul 26 00:11:50 Good point, the wiring here is sketchy Jul 26 00:11:56 At best Jul 26 00:12:20 They use the AC upstairs and my lights dim, fan speeds slow, and low voltage beep on my powerswitch kick on Jul 26 00:12:21 lol Jul 26 00:12:26 XD Jul 26 00:12:29 Yeah Jul 26 00:12:30 lol Jul 26 00:12:35 Pretty sure thats not supposed to happen Jul 26 00:13:18 So, gparted, fstab, success? Jul 26 00:13:55 yeah, if you've got an ubuntu box somewhere, apt-get install gparted Jul 26 00:14:01 it's got a nice gui for making partitions and stuff Jul 26 00:14:06 Awesome Jul 26 00:14:40 Know of a way I can turn off the wifi? Like completely? I've got it wired and don't want to be generating heat or any of that jazz Jul 26 00:14:59 I've managed to switch it to client mode Jul 26 00:15:18 like the bluetooth, unloading the modules should do it Jul 26 00:15:23 no drivers = no usage =p Jul 26 00:15:23 Right Jul 26 00:15:26 Makes sense Jul 26 00:15:39 the module on that one is uh Jul 26 00:15:45 uap6xxx Jul 26 00:15:47 or something Jul 26 00:15:53 should be related to uap Jul 26 00:15:53 Know anything about a DLNA solution for my PS3 over LAN? Jul 26 00:16:02 I've heard mediatomb Jul 26 00:16:06 yeah, there's several DLNA servers in the debian repos Jul 26 00:16:13 Aweosme Jul 26 00:16:26 thing about linux is that, even if you try one and it doesn't work, it's trival to remove it and try the next one =p Jul 26 00:16:38 \o/ modularity Jul 26 00:16:45 I like my operating system like I like my code Jul 26 00:17:38 Well I'm going afk for a while, thank you again for all the help Toot, much obliged Jul 26 00:17:44 you're welcome =D **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jul 26 02:59:56 2011
