**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Thu May 05 23:59:56 2005 May 06 00:29:14 evening ka6sox May 06 00:33:21 hi jacques May 06 00:34:57 wazzup tonight? May 06 00:38:15 not a lot, perusing newegg's site May 06 00:38:29 thinking about ordering some asus toys May 06 00:39:23 ah...I was thinking about flashing the latest stuff into Wiley May 06 00:40:08 which asus toys are you preferring? May 06 00:40:31 WL-500G DLX and maybe a Wl-HDD2.5 May 06 00:41:16 I need to look very hard at my Wlhdd2.5 and see if I can add 32MB of ram. May 06 00:41:43 if that were possible I would probably buy two of those :-) May 06 00:42:20 I can look at that in the AM. May 06 00:42:39 there is hopefully all the lines attached :) May 06 00:43:17 yeah that would be nice May 06 00:43:29 we might not even need a custom bootloader :-) May 06 00:43:41 that would be good too. May 06 00:46:00 I think we have determined that the slug is indeed working at 133mhz...wish I knew why. May 06 00:47:14 must be an undocumented "feature May 06 00:47:17 " May 06 00:49:12 really? last I saw I thought we had determined only the memory bus was running at 133MHz May 06 00:49:28 I recall being a bit disappointed - wanted double speed slug May 06 00:49:29 how do we determine what the core freq is? May 06 00:49:46 (it should be 266mhz) May 06 00:49:48 jbowler had a good wiki page on it May 06 00:50:35 I'm now thuroughly convinced that to have a "fat" slug we need 2X32M16 chips. May 06 00:50:53 or 2X16M16 Chips. May 06 00:52:41 hmm for some reason searching on jbowler on the wiki does not find the page May 06 00:53:36 http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/OpenSlug/TheSlugSpeedProblem May 06 00:53:40 have you seen that? May 06 01:01:09 I remember that somewhat... May 06 01:01:42 I seriously doubt that the corefreq is 133mhz May 06 01:02:00 yeah, me too May 06 01:02:35 I guess there's no way a scope could be used to settle this? May 06 01:02:52 could probably get the ram bus speed May 06 01:03:02 which is almost certainly 133MHz May 06 01:03:08 that is 133mhz...measured May 06 01:03:13 but wouldn't tell us anything about the core May 06 01:03:20 measured? nice May 06 01:06:41 I need to read up on the mipsel in the Wiley units. May 06 01:10:27 jacques, did you read up on the problems with the WL500g dlx? May 06 01:11:58 ka6sox I thought all problems were solved by the new bootloader - did I miss something? which problems? May 06 01:12:43 oh..they fixed the bootloader...that was the problem I was reading about from jeanfabrice. May 06 01:13:54 are there more problems? May 06 01:14:21 I should look in the chupa forum to see what the latest is. May 06 01:14:59 yeah I read it last night May 06 01:16:32 iirc the benchmarks were a little better for the Wiley than for the Slug. May 06 01:17:39 apparently neither ASUS can touch the slug in disk performance tho ? May 06 01:33:14 I suspect that the USB2 drivers are pretty good. May 06 01:39:59 slug is 4.8MB/sec httpd stream from USB, Wiley is 1.6MB/sec May 06 01:40:30 ah. May 06 01:41:00 7.something MB/sec raw on slug vs 4.8MB/sec raw USB disk I/O on Wiley 500gdlx May 06 01:41:15 apparently the wl-hdd is even worse, even though it has IDE May 06 01:41:23 I have seen slug get > 8MB/s on openslug May 06 01:41:28 probably a bad driver. May 06 01:41:33 rwhitby-away, yeah that's a shame about the wl-hdd May 06 02:34:05 a 133Mhz IXP42x doesnt exist. May 06 05:11:20 Anyone getting MySQL to build? Openslug-packages fails for me :( May 06 05:11:37 It doesn't like missing threads May 06 05:44:41 NAiL: a very late PONG May 06 05:51:24 VoodooZ_Work: Ah, yes. It seems the linuxrc issue is fixed now ;) May 06 05:52:11 Cool. I'm pulling as we speak. May 06 05:52:57 Is there a new kernel too? May 06 05:52:58 g2's build seems to work. I haven't tested mine yet. May 06 05:53:12 2.6.11.2, dunno what the old one was May 06 05:53:39 I just saw a 2.6.11.8.bb file in my pull ??? May 06 05:55:27 packages/linux/openslug-kernel_2.6.11.2.bb: 2 deltas May 06 05:55:32 <-- just pulled May 06 05:55:53 ah... nslu2-kernel .8 May 06 05:56:01 ok, I'm building... May 06 05:56:02 Its not the default. May 06 05:56:18 that's cool. I was just curious May 06 05:56:30 what's the motivation behind that one? May 06 06:23:42 <[g2]> jb is testing some stuff on 11.8 May 06 06:23:53 <[g2]> guys fyi http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/MountNFSSwapPartition May 06 06:24:15 ty :) May 06 07:41:14 Is there an uClibc openslug ipkg repo anywhere? May 06 07:43:15 <[g2]> not right now May 06 07:43:27 <[g2]> but you can bb openslug-package May 06 07:43:40 <[g2]> and generate a bunch of stuff May 06 07:44:10 I have. Uploading a bunch now. Building samba right now. May 06 07:46:19 Dumping it all in http://slug.repvik.info/openslug/uclibc/ if anyone wants it ;) May 06 08:02:06 Um.. Is there a way I can make the changes to packages/samba/samba.inc permanent? Samba does not build with smbmount, but every time I pull my change gets overwritten. May 06 08:05:52 <[g2]> are you bk editing that file ? May 06 08:05:58 hmm.. no May 06 08:06:08 * NAiL isn't familiar with bk May 06 08:06:29 <[g2]> well it's kinda late to learn it :) May 06 08:06:38 heh May 06 08:06:40 yeah May 06 08:07:28 hi [g2] ;) May 06 08:07:37 <[g2]> gerdi__, HEY ! May 06 08:08:09 <[g2]> gerdi__, I'm curious about new faces :) Welcome May 06 08:08:23 <[g2]> are you an OpenSlug user ? May 06 08:09:02 i will be .. if the compile goes throught May 06 08:09:13 <[g2]> you just pulled ? May 06 08:09:32 <[g2]> were you waiting for the fix to start using it ? May 06 08:10:07 no i had some problems ... and fey time May 06 08:10:40 <[g2]> free ? May 06 08:11:28 whats free :P beer - lool - sorry i am german May 06 08:12:13 <[g2]> np we've got a worldly group here May 06 08:12:13 im also working on the openwrt and tuxbox project ... May 06 08:12:20 :)) May 06 08:12:30 <[g2]> how long have you been working on openwrt ? May 06 08:12:38 <[g2]> and do you have a url for tuxbox ? May 06 08:13:09 only a bit ... tuxbox is on cvs .. google for it May 06 08:13:31 <[g2]> I was a user of openwrt back in the days May 06 08:13:59 <[g2]> that was part of the training program for nslu2-linux :) May 06 08:14:10 ahh ok .. nice May 06 08:14:44 <[g2]> NAiL, are you still playing with openwrt ? May 06 08:15:24 a bit ... nice system May 06 08:15:58 in the moment Im playing with avr-mikrocontroller May 06 08:16:07 <[g2]> excellent May 06 08:16:08 [g2]: Yeah, but only on my fathers GS May 06 08:16:28 <[g2]> NAiL, we go back a long time on openwrt May 06 08:16:45 <[g2]> gotta be close to 15+ months May 06 08:16:47 [g2]: Trying to work out a way to get my NetGear DG834G up and running with somethingg like openwrt too ;) May 06 08:16:55 It's been a while, yes :) May 06 08:17:03 <[g2]> funny you should mention that May 06 08:17:16 <[g2]> gerdi__, a spin off project is OpenJTAG May 06 08:18:03 <[g2]> and I was a page that has all the networking devices many with internal pics and whether they have JTAG etc... May 06 08:18:04 for the wrt54g(s) there is an jtag-software - I had 2 use it -UPS May 06 08:18:33 <[g2]> there were a bunch of netgear devices that are arm based May 06 08:19:03 <[g2]> I figure they'll be great devices for JTAG'ing at $20 a pop from ebay May 06 08:19:06 <[g2]> or on close-out May 06 08:19:39 The DG834G has JTAG, and runs binaries rfom the orig wrt firmware May 06 08:19:45 <[g2]> gerdi__, we were looking for that very early on.... I'm guessing nobody's really gotten around to redoing the bootloader May 06 08:20:20 But, without JTAG I'm not flashing brand-new-custom-firmware on it. There's no boot_wait on it. May 06 08:20:31 (as far as I can see) May 06 08:20:42 hairydairymaid_debrickv22.zip <- open soft/hard May 06 08:21:16 I tryed to fix the boot_wait default .. but no time to test it May 06 08:21:34 ok .. i must go .. cu later May 06 08:21:38 <[g2]> tc May 06 08:21:49 auf wiedersehen May 06 08:22:59 Getting my DG up with custom firmware would be brilliant. Then I wouldn't need both a DSL-modem *and* the WRT :) May 06 08:23:52 * NAiL needs to get JTAG-enabled. May 06 08:29:51 Is there anywhere in the wiki I can add my feed? May 06 08:39:56 odd... Added bash, and now I cannot login anymore May 06 08:40:16 <[g2]> yeah and I know why May 06 08:40:29 Do tell me :) May 06 08:40:48 <[g2]> iirc the symlink for sh got toasted May 06 08:41:08 <[g2]> so you don't have access to the shell May 06 08:41:13 It still links to busybox May 06 08:41:13 <[g2]> hence no login May 06 08:42:08 adding /bin/bash *and* /bin/sh to /etc/shells worked though May 06 08:44:25 whee... now I have a colored prompt :P May 06 08:45:00 <[g2]> NAiL, were you running of a flashstick ? May 06 08:45:26 <[g2]> or did you have a previous login May 06 08:46:01 Had a previous login. I've been burnt by stuff like that before, so I opened a new term to see if I could login before logging out from the first one ;) May 06 08:46:14 <[g2]> good move May 06 08:47:08 <[g2]> Oh... I mounted with a custom switchbox and went in and tweaked what I needed last time May 06 08:47:13 I will be running off a flashstick later, when I get the internal usb-hub soldered on. But until then, I only have the internal flash to play with. May 06 08:47:16 <[g2]> same thing loading bash May 06 08:47:47 <[g2]> NAiL, can you make a note about that on the Wiki ? May 06 08:48:02 <[g2]> or send out mail to the ml ? May 06 08:48:52 Dunno where to put it in wiki, so I'll send it to the ml sto begin with ;) May 06 08:49:03 My line is dog slow today, so the wiki is a pita. May 06 08:49:28 <[g2]> nod. ml is fine thx May 06 08:51:20 But I didn't have to fudge the sh symlink tho May 06 11:00:03 [g2], rwhitby-away, NAiL: I forgot to mention that the latest pull did fix my kernel panic issue. Thanks. May 06 11:00:56 <[g2]> VoodooZ_Work, you've got a local/amd64 issue May 06 11:01:19 <[g2]> I built from scratch last night and I've been running then and today without a hitch May 06 11:03:45 Nope. I stopped using that box. I'm back on the Xeon May 06 11:04:03 rwhitby-away made some changes to linuxrc. May 06 11:04:06 [g2]: I think it was the linuxrc/initfs-problems that caused the panic May 06 11:04:22 [g2]: And that was fixed sometime after midnight GMT ;) May 06 11:04:22 yeah, probably May 06 11:04:27 (iirc) May 06 11:05:01 * VoodooZ_Work wishes he had a 400Mhz xscale now. May 06 11:05:22 * [g2] has a 533 May 06 11:05:32 Then again, if the memory bus is the same it would be the same bottleneck. May 06 11:05:37 Lucky bastard! May 06 11:05:48 Is the memory bus running at 133 still? May 06 11:05:48 <[g2]> I'm waiting the 465's May 06 11:05:55 <[g2]> nod on the memory bus May 06 11:06:08 So my vision stuff would still be limited there right?> May 06 11:06:14 <[g2]> but the 465 and probably the 460 have DDR @ 266 May 06 11:06:17 Unless there's bigger caches? May 06 11:06:21 nice May 06 11:06:37 How much is the cheapest board? May 06 11:06:47 [g2]: ntp 4.1.2 runs just fine. Only thing I need now is to change the timezone May 06 11:06:51 <[g2]> 465's aren't out yet May 06 11:07:07 <[g2]> VoodooZ_Work, you should do your vision off-board on a miniPCI card May 06 11:07:22 mini-PCI card? May 06 11:07:25 tell me more. May 06 11:07:44 You mean using an FPGA? May 06 11:07:46 <[g2]> then you could it's a standard small form-factor for PCI May 06 11:08:01 yeah, but my robot are fairly small. May 06 11:08:20 I'm not familiar with this standard. Do you have any URLs? May 06 11:08:27 <[g2]> The RV042 board is maybe 2x the length May 06 11:08:42 What company is that? I'll look it up May 06 11:09:08 Or is that another linksys product? May 06 11:09:14 <[g2]> here a totally generic link to a card http://www.bixnet.com/wiiemica.html May 06 11:09:14 (that would be cheaper for me) May 06 11:09:34 <[g2]> with and FPGA and vision stuff on there you could do a couple things May 06 11:09:39 nice. May 06 11:09:44 <[g2]> one run like the wind May 06 11:10:04 I know a guy that does most of the pre-processing on FPGA but It's a bit too advanced for me yet. May 06 11:10:09 <[g2]> to have something that could move to other platforms May 06 11:10:21 <[g2]> s/to/two May 06 11:10:47 What's RV042 running at? May 06 11:10:57 <[g2]> it's got a 425 @ 266 May 06 11:10:59 Next board I buy, I want CAN or H/W I2C. May 06 11:11:06 266 or 133? :) May 06 11:11:29 <[g2]> but there's appears to be a do-not-install on a mini-pci header May 06 11:11:57 <[g2]> actually you do the I2C in the FPGA too May 06 11:12:05 can a 266mhz thing really feed a mini-pci? May 06 11:12:11 yeah, but that's getting complicated. May 06 11:12:39 Perhaps I should get a 400mhz gumstix when it can do USB host. May 06 11:12:44 <[g2]> ka6sox-office, I ran gigabit on a 266 IXP422 board at 20MBs+ speed May 06 11:13:27 <[g2]> and Soon today maybe I'll run a big ass swap partition on that link May 06 11:15:17 [g2]: ntpd runs just fine. Now I'll just have to wait a day or two to see if it dies. May 06 11:15:25 *61.206.115.3.us clock.nc.fukuok <-- "fukuok"? May 06 11:15:43 hehehe nice hostname! May 06 11:17:50 <[g2]> NAiL, we were seeing drift and negative time adjustments May 06 11:18:18 <[g2]> jbowler thought there might still be a negative time adjustment bug in there May 06 11:18:28 <[g2]> he thought it should be pretty easy to track down May 06 11:21:05 hmm... [cc]smart said something about the most trustworthy server getting an asterisk.. The server closest to me does *not* get an asterisk ;) May 06 11:26:08 [g2]: Did you get a drift file btw? I get code 0 now, so it should have written the file, but I can't find it May 06 11:26:42 <[g2]> NAiL, you define it in /etc/ntp.conf May 06 11:26:58 <[g2]> driftfile /etc/npt.driver May 06 11:26:58 *duh* May 06 11:27:36 tnx May 06 12:39:49 <[cc]smart> NAiL: closest is not necessarily best choice. May 06 12:40:22 <[cc]smart> criteria is more strartum and stability over time May 06 12:40:48 <[cc]smart> the less jitter the more trustworthy, that is it should tick very constant May 06 12:44:42 <[cc]smart> more startum... should say lower figue for stratum ,as stratum being logic distance to absolute time May 06 13:03:42 [cc]smart: Yeah, kinda figured that out May 06 13:04:19 Still doesn't write a drift file though. I guess I can live without that for while. May 06 13:05:19 <[g2]> beewoolie-akf's in the house! May 06 13:05:30 dudes May 06 13:10:27 <[cc]smart> Nail: ntpd needs write and create files for the directory the drift file is in, not just write access to the configured drift file May 06 13:10:32 <[cc]smart> that might be a reason May 06 13:13:42 hmm.. I'll have to check on that later. It's time for me to start studying for that exam I'm having on monday... May 06 16:31:56 [g2] regarding that talk about ntp and clocks and stuff. May 06 16:32:04 the X1205 doesnt totally suck. May 06 16:32:23 <[g2]> dyoung-web, cool May 06 16:32:35 <[g2]> dyoung-web, what's the status ? May 06 16:32:39 the "drift" is something that is from linux. May 06 16:33:05 I have a feeling that those 4000 interrupts/sec are making the linux time go funny. May 06 16:33:23 <[g2]> they reduced those to 2K in the R29 sw May 06 16:33:33 one of the R29 hacks was to reduce that to 2000i/s; I wonder if we should apply it to openslug and see what happens May 06 16:33:44 <[g2]> along with hobbling the usb May 06 16:34:09 That one can be twiddled dynamically btw. you can cat the value in /sys. May 06 16:34:16 (the usb one) May 06 16:34:46 <[g2]> are you sure ? I was talking about the # sectors thingy May 06 16:34:55 oh that part. May 06 16:35:05 I thought you meant the module parameter May 06 16:35:20 the # sectors thingee I think is not required. May 06 16:35:28 <[g2]> also, I'm wondering if we need the IXP4xx timer at all since we're running off interrupts May 06 16:35:47 because AFAIK the Genesys works the way its supposed to in 2.6.7 and higher. May 06 16:36:17 I think we need the ixp4xx timer for other stuff. May 06 16:36:26 <[g2]> well it would be worth while to spend an hour and try those fixes and see of the irq_26 nobody cared goes away May 06 16:36:27 like the PCI clocks. May 06 16:37:04 <[g2]> I think the PCI is driven off GPIO 15 ? May 06 16:37:06 <[g2]> 14 ? May 06 16:37:24 yeah, in fact I'm sure the Genesys works. the fix we applied in openslug was pilfered from the mainline kernel of a later version. May 06 16:37:26 <[g2]> tman has a nice site and write-up May 06 16:37:43 s/openslug/unslung May 06 16:38:18 <[g2]> ok.... so you're saying the RTC works pretty well May 06 16:38:38 <[g2]> we could just read the time when every we do a sync right ? May 06 16:38:53 the RTC Hardware works fine. May 06 16:39:03 <[g2]> obviously we'll want to turn off the debugging messages May 06 16:39:12 Right. May 06 16:39:20 right onw its in the same state it was in 3 months ago. May 06 16:39:29 or whenever I pushed that changeset May 06 16:39:48 I need to finish this other thing first, so I probably wont be able to look at x1205 until next week at the earliest May 06 16:40:12 jstueve: This is a bit more openslug-oriented ;) May 06 16:40:13 <[g2]> thx for the heads up May 06 16:40:20 riiight.. thanks... May 06 16:40:27 ugh.. my build failed... May 06 16:40:33 and I was getting so excited.. May 06 16:40:39 at flex? May 06 16:40:42 yeah. May 06 16:40:59 <[g2]> when did you last pull and which version of flex was it building May 06 16:41:01 anyways, the right way to handle it is once NTP works, resync the RTC to Linux time at shutdown. May 06 16:41:02 yeah, never got around to fixing that earlier today. The source tarball is gone from the mirrorr May 06 16:41:10 Unless you trust your RTC more than NTP. May 06 16:41:38 [g2]: I think it's trying 2.5.31 (or something), but there's only 2.5.4a available (Taken from memory, I might be wrong) May 06 16:41:41 according to the error.. it is package flex-native-2.5.31-r2 May 06 16:41:41 then when you start it back up it again, it will get time from the RTC and be (probably) more correct than if it wasnt set. May 06 16:42:06 [g2]: Did a pull earlier today. May 06 16:42:39 <[g2]> this is why I want to SVN the OpenSlug tree May 06 16:42:58 This reminds me of the oh-so-funny openwrt days ;) May 06 16:43:01 <[g2]> I'd say 90% of the users don't care about the delta on a daily basis May 06 16:43:13 so svn a snapshot every now and then? May 06 16:43:29 and for hardcore hacker types like [g2] use the bk tree ? May 06 16:43:42 <[g2]> yeah, full update every couple weeks, month or when something major is fixed May 06 16:43:48 Good Plan. May 06 16:43:53 so.. anything I can do? May 06 16:43:53 It'd be a good idea. It'd make "support" easier May 06 16:44:11 <[g2]> I pulled yesterday and the last time before that was probably a month May 06 16:44:26 what would we store? surely not oe metadata. May 06 16:44:46 <[g2]> yes exactly the oe data less SCCS May 06 16:45:15 Interesting concept. May 06 16:45:33 <[g2]> do you know that with that oe data you can build the entire flashable image (assuming you have the dl's) on a knoppix livecd May 06 16:45:47 sorta like oe and oe-devel I guess eh. May 06 16:45:50 <[g2]> there's one tiny program missing for CPIO May 06 16:46:00 jstueve: Yes, there is. But right now I can't remember the filenames and paths you need to fix ;) May 06 16:46:19 lol... I need to go grab some grub... so I'll check back later.? May 06 16:46:43 jstueve: Sure. I'll be relocating myself to other side of town, so I can check stuff up ;) May 06 16:47:27 meanwhile... I'll practice... May 06 16:47:30 food sound slike a good plan. Back later. May 06 16:47:34 10 bb openslug-image May 06 16:47:37 20 goto 10 May 06 16:47:56 jstueve: You can build the openslug-packages first ;) May 06 16:48:05 oh? May 06 16:48:09 hm.. no, that won't work either May 06 16:48:16 You'll need flex for those as well, I think. May 06 16:48:23 jstueve: why not just do while 1; bb openslug-image openslug-packages; ? May 06 16:48:52 you can always tell who is the c programmers... May 06 16:48:57 heheh May 06 16:49:06 I"m retro.:D May 06 16:49:06 or, while 1 (bk pull; bb openslug-image openslug-packages) May 06 16:49:25 then when someone fixes something you'll get it and be sure to be up to date. May 06 16:49:26 and optimizers... must be in embedded systems... May 06 16:49:59 jstueve_grub: btw, you might wanna join me in the adventures of building openslug using uclibc ;) May 06 16:52:50 * NAiL starts walking to the other side of town. I'll be back in an hour or so, probably ;) May 06 16:55:47 <[g2]> Ok is there a simple way to get tar to follow symlinks ? May 06 16:56:37 <[g2]> AHHH.... -h May 06 16:58:34 <[g2]> DOH! May 06 16:59:58 <[g2]> ooooohh aaaahhhh May 06 17:02:31 <[g2]> yummmy.... squishy.... May 06 17:03:32 so that woiked? May 06 17:03:44 <[g2]> worked ? May 06 17:03:50 the -h? May 06 17:04:10 <[g2]> tar -h -X exfile -cvf openslug-metadata.tar nslu2-package-symlinks May 06 17:04:24 NAiL uclibc sounds like an adventure... (back to grubbing) May 06 17:04:25 <[g2]> cat exfile May 06 17:04:25 <[g2]> SCCS May 06 17:04:25 <[g2]> BitKeeper May 06 17:04:25 <[g2]> tmp May 06 17:04:43 <[g2]> the real key is the tmp May 06 17:04:59 since that holds all the results from a build? May 06 17:05:00 <[g2]> cause there are symlinks pointing to the work files May 06 17:05:14 <[g2]> yes May 06 17:05:19 <[g2]> a bunch of stuff May 06 17:05:45 so by doing this you can have the symlinked directory on another partition, or disk... May 06 17:05:49 <[g2]> so my list which supports openslug/unslung and many packages nearly 500 is 68MB May 06 17:05:51 outside of the flash? May 06 17:05:56 <[g2]> that bzip2's to 10MB May 06 17:06:44 <[g2]> that plus BB and a knoppix disk a little program needed for cpio and boom... Downtown baby May 06 17:06:48 or to share some common elements between openslug/unslung May 06 17:07:02 <[g2]> we share tons of stuff May 06 17:07:26 *bing* lasagna is done... May 06 17:07:30 bbiab May 06 17:08:04 <[g2]> anyone running GIT ? May 06 17:09:10 <[g2]> I say we GIT that tree May 06 17:09:15 <[g2]> and manage that May 06 17:12:04 <[g2]> beewoolie, ping May 06 17:12:11 [g2]: helo May 06 17:12:27 <[g2]> are you using git at all ? May 06 17:12:32 You're talking git? May 06 17:12:40 You must like the 1.0 fever. May 06 17:12:59 Don't know it...yet, I suspect. May 06 17:13:08 It'll probably be required in a few months. May 06 17:13:13 ...for kernel patches. May 06 17:13:23 <[g2]> I don't, but I did read about it and it looked butt simple May 06 17:14:28 I also don't have vast extra HD space at the moment. May 06 17:14:39 <[g2]> you simply compare two sha1 lists May 06 17:14:58 <[g2]> all the files in a given set get rolled up May 06 17:15:17 I'm for it if it's faster than BK which I found to be slow in some of the simplest cases. May 06 17:15:32 <[g2]> it's supposed to be like lightening May 06 17:15:43 * beewoolie likes lightning May 06 17:17:01 <[g2]> it does deltas between two snapshots very well but doesn't track changes at all May 06 17:17:14 <[g2]> so change history is out the window May 06 17:17:25 Not really a big deal to me. May 06 17:17:44 The main use for history is CVSDATE snapshots. May 06 17:17:50 <[g2]> I think it's important for history May 06 17:18:12 History can be managed with a sequence of snapshots. May 06 17:18:29 Essentially, that's what all SCM's do. May 06 17:18:39 <[g2]> which is what git can do, but you've got to delta all the snapshots to build the history May 06 17:18:42 whoa, weird, I'm eating lasagne too May 06 17:18:50 <[g2]> 42 May 06 17:19:12 * beewoolie burps lasagne flavor May 06 17:19:24 <[g2]> I had pizza tonight does that count ? May 06 17:22:08 <[g2]> wow.... A knoppix cd, A cd with all the sources, and a 10MB bzips metadata tarball, bb and you you've got it all May 06 17:23:06 plus some extra space for the downloads May 06 17:24:25 <[g2]> CD with all the dls May 06 17:24:42 <[g2]> I've got all the source and it's only 500MB May 06 17:25:02 <[g2]> its actually many multiple versions of the source May 06 17:25:18 <[g2]> the current stuff is probably only 350 May 06 17:25:41 <[g2]> I think you could fit it on 1 CD with fluxbox May 06 17:26:01 <[g2]> but that doesn't include the packages May 06 17:54:12 duh May 06 17:54:32 the second I come back to answer jstueve, he disconnects :( May 06 17:54:45 ah May 06 17:55:25 jstueve: Add this to your local.conf TARGET_OS_local="linux-uclibc" May 06 17:55:42 and possibly: SELECTED_OPTIMIZATION = "-Os" May 06 17:56:07 When building that, I ended up with a grand total of 3700kb free flash space :) May 06 17:57:45 just at the bottom... May 06 17:58:42 of the file? May 06 17:59:00 do I need to install anyother packages? May 06 17:59:44 bottom, yes. Nothing more you need to do than to start a fresh build May 06 18:00:09 does the local need to be lc? or uc? in TARGET_OS_local May 06 18:01:05 huh? /me looks confused May 06 18:01:44 either "linux" or "linux-uclibc" May 06 18:01:57 the rest of the variables use all UPERCASE but you have miXeD CaSe May 06 18:02:27 TARGET_OS_local 0r TARGET_OS_LOCAL or does it even matter? May 06 18:02:37 ah, yes. For reasons unknown to me, it is mixed case. It probably matters, yes May 06 18:03:07 flaky shift key no doubt... May 06 18:03:41 then just bb openslug-image? May 06 18:05:17 rm build/tmp first May 06 18:05:21 then bb openslug-image May 06 18:05:37 whoops... May 06 18:05:46 ctrl-c stops the bb? May 06 18:05:51 yeah May 06 18:06:08 rm -rf? May 06 18:07:57 yeah May 06 18:08:56 good cuz I already did it.. :D May 06 18:09:15 hehe May 06 18:10:03 failed.. flex native again... May 06 18:10:14 ah, yes... that problem May 06 18:10:28 cha. May 06 18:12:30 should I start deleting files? May 06 18:12:31 :) May 06 18:12:39 nah May 06 18:16:04 jstueve: Simple solution.. wget htp://slug.repvik.info/flex-2.5.31.tar.bz2 and htp://slug.repvik.info/flex-2.5.31.tar.bz2.md5 and put in the sources folder May 06 18:16:11 s/htp/http/ May 06 18:19:09 okay.. gottern and rebuilding May 06 18:19:30 or if you dont trust NAiL; re-md5sum it yourself. May 06 18:19:42 :-) May 06 18:19:45 dyoung-web: Eh... very useful :P May 06 18:20:08 heh... May 06 18:20:44 np. :-) May 06 18:20:49 I had plenty of time with my l33t coding skills to insert a backdoor into flex May 06 18:20:59 (of all packages) May 06 18:21:24 hakorz May 06 18:21:37 Nah, you gotta find a better one that runs suid. May 06 18:21:41 like top used to. May 06 18:22:13 dyoung-web: It's funnier to add a backdoor to gcc, so that it adds some "special" code to login ;) May 06 18:22:35 (and of course, itself if recompiled) May 06 18:31:15 hmm... syslogd is supposed to log to /var/log/messages, right? May 06 18:31:49 Doesn't seem to do that on my slug :( May 06 18:31:53 flex compiled May 06 18:32:14 I know ;) May 06 18:35:20 * jstueve wonders if her just gave NAiL access to his slug... if the firmware ever gets activated... May 06 18:35:21 ;) May 06 18:36:18 heh, not only do you give me access to your slug, but you also give me access to the box you're compiling on! MUHAHAHAH :P May 06 18:37:08 scheet.. you ruleZ May 06 18:42:58 scrolling scrolling scrolling.. May 06 18:44:36 hmmm... May 06 18:44:57 x86_64 doesn't seem like it would be needed... May 06 18:45:45 okay.. package glibc-2.3.2_cvs20040726-r17 May 06 18:45:58 function do_configure failed May 06 18:46:12 failing the build.. May 06 18:46:16 durn. May 06 18:46:19 Hmm... what's the relevant info in the log file? May 06 18:46:29 And why is it building glibc anyways? May 06 18:46:46 I dunno... May 06 18:46:58 do patch and then do configure... May 06 18:47:07 * NAiL just became openslug alpha/beta-tester #30. Better late then nevern ;) May 06 18:47:27 There's a logfile... It says something about if before dying May 06 18:47:43 It's even kind enough to give you the full path ;) May 06 18:48:08 2 sysdeps/ieee754/dbl-64 sysdeps/ieee754 sysdeps/generic/elf sysdeps/generic May 06 18:48:08 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c May 06 18:48:08 checking whether ln -s works... yes May 06 18:48:08 checking for armeb-linux-gcc... ccache armeb-linux-gcc May 06 18:48:08 checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile May 06 18:48:09 See `config.log' for more details.

May 06 19:04:14 x86 May 06 19:04:27 Dell Laptop May 06 19:05:18 ok, x86 should be no problem, I thought maybe I'd seen it on other archs May 06 19:05:42 jstueve, do you have 'file' installed? May 06 19:06:19 looks like it choked on sed May 06 19:06:28 how would I check?

(it should be standard) May 06 19:07:58 yeah... it is installed.. May 06 19:08:11 the case where is breaks is this code... May 06 19:08:31 if { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_compile\"") >&5 May 06 19:08:41 the program brances to the else there... May 06 19:09:06 your /bin/sh is bash ? May 06 19:09:12 yep May 06 19:11:02 &5 is a cmdline argument from when configure is called? May 06 19:11:23 I don't know May 06 19:11:38 might be a file handle May 06 19:13:31 it is creating condefs.h dynamically May 06 19:14:40 the last time I saw this error I think it was trying to native compile on the slug May 06 19:15:25 line 2620 gets outputted as $? =1 May 06 19:15:28 jstueve: btw, you haven't run out of diskspace, have you? :) May 06 19:15:30 the code is: May 06 19:15:36 hm May 06 19:16:12 nope 11197148 avil May 06 19:16:40 echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \$? = $ac_status" >&5 May 06 19:16:45 good :) May 06 19:17:11 configure:2620: $? = 1 May 06 19:17:56 okay.. that doesn't make much sense... May 06 19:18:12 jstueve, do you have a separate partition for / and /home ? May 06 19:18:19 is maybe / full ? May 06 19:18:24 that was / May 06 19:18:28 all one partition... May 06 19:18:28 ok May 06 19:18:48 /boot and /swap are the only other partitions May 06 19:19:26 maybe swap? May 06 19:19:50 of root only 25% used May 06 19:19:55 how much ram+swap do you have? May 06 19:20:01 512 RAM May 06 19:20:07 should be plenty May 06 19:20:09 swap is 2M I think May 06 19:20:20 2mb? May 06 19:20:25 g? May 06 19:20:30 I don't know.. lol May 06 19:20:35 Sounds a bit more reasonable :P May 06 19:21:13 I was generous... :d May 06 19:21:51 this is the whole eval that failed: May 06 19:21:52 if { (eval echo "$as_me:$LINENO: \"$ac_compile\"") >&5 May 06 19:21:53 (eval $ac_compile) 2>&5 May 06 19:21:53 ac_status=$?

May 06 19:27:50 jstueve: If you take out target_os_local, you'd get a standard glibc build. It'll work, but take more space ;) May 06 19:28:01 um would May 06 19:28:07 ummm.. would May 06 19:28:36 I had SELECTED_OPTIMIZATIONS = "=0s" May 06 19:28:44 uh May 06 19:28:45 would that fiddle things May 06 19:29:10 dash capital-o lowercase s May 06 19:29:12 0s or Os May 06 19:29:15 heh... May 06 19:29:44 so kill the tmp and start over? May 06 19:29:45 ouch May 06 19:30:05 It's best that way :P May 06 19:30:58 *sigh* May 06 19:31:22 presses the red button again... May 06 19:31:59 jstueve: Once you get it working, it's a breeze ;) May 06 19:33:04 btw, you have TARGET_OS_local, not LOCAL, right? May 06 19:34:58 btw, anyone knows how the Packages file works? Do I have to add stuff to it manually, or should it be automagically updated if I add, say, samba? May 06 19:37:28 err.. ahh.. May 06 19:37:34 LOCAL May 06 19:37:54 stop fix and restart? May 06 19:38:12 heh May 06 19:38:26 yes ;) May 06 19:39:11 TARGET_OS_local="linux-uclibc" May 06 19:39:35 SELECTED_OPTIMIZATION = "-Os" May 06 19:39:52 If you have those two exactly, it should work as a charm :) May 06 19:40:50 oh, and DISTRO="openslug" May 06 19:40:55 I c&p that time. May 06 19:40:56 if you haven't set that one May 06 19:41:37 *crosses fingers* May 06 19:41:41 * NAiL too May 06 19:41:51 yeah.. I'm fairly certain I did that right... May 06 19:42:16 okay.. can I take a snapshot of my current flash.. to restore when the thing doesn't boot? May 06 19:42:47 You done anything with your flash yet, or is the slug stock? May 06 19:43:06 it is unslug3-18 beta May 06 19:43:17 ah, yes, you said that May 06 19:43:57 well.. no, I don't think there's an easy way to snapshot it May 06 19:44:15 But you could back up all the files to your hdd May 06 19:44:32 tar it all up? May 06 19:44:39 yeah May 06 19:45:00 So you could flash with unslung firmware, then restore your config from the backup May 06 19:45:39 lesee tar -cvf / /share/hdd/data/backup.tar May 06 19:45:45 hrrm May 06 19:45:51 that becomes recursive... May 06 19:45:54 That'll tar up your hdd aswell May 06 19:46:37 tar -cvf /boot /etc /home /root (Not /proc/ or /dev/, butm ost of the rest) /share/hdd/data/backup.tar May 06 19:47:06 so how do I do that in one line... May 06 19:47:19 where is the optimizers when you need one.. May 06 19:47:22 like that... May 06 19:47:37 ah... May 06 19:47:43 tat -cvs /boot /etc /home /root /share/hdd/blah.tar May 06 19:47:49 * NAiL can't type May 06 19:47:58 I give up.

May 06 20:06:04 jstueve: Give me an update tomorrow :) May 06 20:06:15 * NAiL goes to sleep. For sure this time :P May 06 20:10:47 :d May 06 20:35:09 nite NAiL May 06 21:45:04 is anyone here? my build completed... May 06 21:45:31 congrats May 06 21:48:57 * jstueve whoops... May 06 21:49:18 so.. upslug? with harddrive connected? May 06 21:49:30 is there a proces on the wiki that describes installation? May 06 21:55:45 what's running on the slug at the moment? May 06 21:56:10 you can use the web interface .... May 06 22:00:22 3-18 beta May 06 22:00:37 and then to telnet into the openslug? May 06 22:00:51 you should be able to remove the harddisk, and use maintenance mode to flash it. May 06 22:01:32 telnet or ssh, I forget which is enabled on a new installation May 06 22:01:36 so don't flash with hd connected... May 06 22:01:40 root/opeNSLUg May 06 22:31:20 jstueve: never flash with hard disk connected. May 06 22:32:53 we need to add that to our new README for Openslug. May 06 22:34:40 there is a README? in the tmp dir? May 06 22:35:32 https://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3702&release_id=5688 May 06 22:35:44 ka6sox-away, that is in the README May 06 22:36:02 just posted it. May 06 22:36:16 wheres the source for that file? May 06 22:36:30 the readme? May 06 22:36:36 dyoung, my harddrive May 06 22:36:57 from the README - (Without any HD attached while flashing!!!) May 06 22:37:01 so it is currently not under revision control? Is it appreciably differnt than the one in BK? May 06 22:37:18 yes...it needs to be checked in. May 06 22:37:29 it only applies to the Beta. May 06 22:37:36 that is a brand spanking new README May 06 22:37:44 for the binary May 06 22:37:45 I'm a little confused about how this is all going to work. May 06 22:40:19 ByronT: that README needs to live in BK somewhere May 06 22:41:05 openslug-init is probably the best place for it, unless we suddenly get an openslug-rootfs package ... May 06 23:33:10 anyway to change the default ip address in the image? May 06 23:35:27 its not in the image. May 06 23:35:35 its in the sysconf. May 06 23:39:05 so if I set it already in the linksys web, that IP will persist? May 06 23:43:19 Yes. May 06 23:43:36 schweet May 06 23:43:44 it was on someones todo list to make a utility that can edit the sysconf, but I dunno who it was, or if it was ever done. ;-) May 06 23:44:27 if youre interested in how it works, its part of openslug-init. May 06 23:45:10 my only troublesome spot is not wanting to wipe the data partition I have working with unslung... May 06 23:45:37 is openslug-init in /etc? May 06 23:46:05 oh thats a openembedded package. May 06 23:46:51 I guess I could attach the usb-hd to my ubuntu box, and resize the partitions to give me a clean part for openslug May 06 23:55:51 or just boot into openslug and then fdisk and mke2fs it from there May 06 23:55:59 (before you turnup) May 06 23:56:58 but yeah, resizing is best done elsewhere **** ENDING LOGGING AT Fri May 06 23:59:56 2005
