| 00:00.25 | rwhitby | so if you wanted to, you could leave the case without any holes, and just take the pcb out of the case when you need to use the ports. or you put a hole where the FCC label is to get access. |
| 00:00.39 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: is that one of those wireless routers? |
| 00:00.51 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: curious, where did you get your cornice usb drive? |
| 00:00.54 | rwhitby | yeah |
| 00:01.19 | rwhitby | lonewolf bought it for me in the states. MPIO HS-100 |
| 00:01.47 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: unfortunately classwork has taken me by surprise, havnt had much time lately to work on getting cusomt packages :( |
| 00:01.55 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: thanks |
| 00:01.56 | [g2] | rwhitby, GREAT post! |
| 00:02.03 | [g2] | ~praise rwhitby |
| 00:02.06 | jbot | All hail rwhitby! |
| 00:02.30 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: ouch.. 200 bucks... |
| 00:05.04 | [g2] | rwhitby, I guess you're JTAG enabled now :) |
| 00:06.25 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: man.. that's a mess :( |
| 00:06.58 | rwhitby | gerrynjr: what's a mess? |
| 00:07.22 | gerrynjr | the JTAG stuff |
| 00:07.54 | rwhitby | [g2]: I still need to buzz out all the connections before I turn it back on again. Last night was taken up by replacing the windows desktop monitor, and fixing the wrt54gs serial port. |
| 00:08.13 | rwhitby | gerrynjr: you mean the wiring on the back of the board? |
| 00:08.18 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: yeah |
| 00:08.30 | [g2] | I read you were in IT hell/prison for awhile |
| 00:08.48 | [g2] | has the tsunami calmed down ? |
| 00:08.51 | rwhitby | gerrynjr: I thought my soldering was quite neat! - you must have very high standards ... |
| 00:09.21 | rwhitby | [g2]: yeah, the linux server still doesn't work, but it's an incentive to port what I need to the production slug running 1.12-beta |
| 00:09.35 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: ok, it's not that bad 8) |
| 00:09.51 | [g2] | rwhitby, so the linux server doesn't post at all ? |
| 00:09.56 | [g2] | POST |
| 00:10.17 | rwhitby | [g2]: but the windows desktop monitor last night was the mini-tornado that comes through just after the big one has gone. |
| 00:10.55 | rwhitby | yeah, it doesn't post, and it's one of these: http://www.allwell.tv/Products/Set_Top_Box/STB1030_3036/stb1030_3036.html |
| 00:11.29 | [g2] | iirc that a geode or amd elan |
| 00:11.41 | [g2] | they did the router kit |
| 00:11.46 | gerrynjr | it's a geode |
| 00:11.50 | rwhitby | it doesn't actually have a speaker, so I can't hear if it posts. and I need to change some jumpers inside to connect up a real monitor. |
| 00:11.56 | rwhitby | I haven't got around to that yet. |
| 00:12.37 | rwhitby | I wanted to replace it eventually by a wrt54gs/slug or Asus/slug combination anyway - it just happened a bit before I was ready with the software on the slug :-) |
| 00:12.54 | [g2] | nod. :( |
| 00:13.02 | gerrynjr | rwhitby: what did this box do? |
| 00:13.44 | rwhitby | irc proxy and logger, dial-in modem server, tv guide scaper, http and tftp host for slug development. I think that's it. |
| 00:14.31 | rwhitby | I got a new package which runs on window for the tv guide scraper, so I can do that from the laptop (which is what the treo connects to anyway, so that makes sense). The IRC proxy and logger has already moved to the production slug. |
| 00:14.50 | rwhitby | And I had to fix the second serial port on the WRT to progress on the dial-in modem replacement. |
| 00:15.14 | rwhitby | http host for development slug can be done on the production slug. |
| 00:16.09 | gerrynjr | ah... |
| 00:16.11 | rwhitby | So I produced 1.12-beta so I could store stuff while upgrading to 2.3-alpha on the production slug |
| 00:17.23 | [g2] | "ah... production slug, what a nice sound" |
| 00:18.37 | rwhitby | if I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in /etc/profile, does it need an export? |
| 00:20.05 | rwhitby | Does LD_LIBRARY_PATH need the standard dirs listed too, or does it just append them behind the scenes anyway? |
| 00:22.46 | [g2] | dunno for sure, but here sounds like you need an export http://www.faqs.org/docs/securing/chap6sec64.html |
| 00:23.15 | [g2] | step 2 where they export everything |
| 00:23.47 | rwhitby | ok, I'll change the PATH statement to an export in there too ... |
| 00:23.54 | pb_ | rwhitby: you don't need the standard dirs in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. |
| 00:24.15 | rwhitby | thx - that's what I thought, but wanted to check |
| 00:24.15 | pb_ | if you have directories that you always want to put in the search path, /etc/ld.so.conf would be a better way to do it rather than setting a global LD_LIBRARY_PATH. |
| 00:24.32 | rwhitby | yeah, but we don't have a working ldconfig - the one from OE segfaults |
| 00:24.40 | pb_ | ah, that's rather sad. |
| 00:25.00 | pb_ | are you using the libc from oe as well? |
| 00:25.47 | rwhitby | on unslung we are using linksys libs. that's why I didn't try and fix ldconfig, cause it's probably a library incompatibility issue that we can't fix cause we want to use the linksys libs for unslung. it should work for openslug probably. |
| 00:26.01 | pb_ | right |
| 00:26.10 | pb_ | is there any particular reason you can't upgrade the libc in unslung? |
| 00:26.22 | pb_ | it should be backwards compatible, so all the linksys stuff ought to still work. |

| 00:27.19 | rwhitby | ok, I've changed /etc/profile in unslung 1.13-beta and 2.4-alpha to: |
| 00:27.41 | rwhitby | export PATH=$PATH:/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/opt/usr/bin:/opt/usr/sbin |
| 00:27.41 | rwhitby | export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib |
| 00:28.37 | rwhitby | but I won't test it till tonight, as the development slug is still recovering from surgery and won't get the all clear till tonight probably. |
| 00:28.46 | rwhitby | [when I get some quiet time to work on it] |
| 00:29.06 | rwhitby | I'll check the changes in so someone else can test them :-) |

| 02:39.17 | rwhitby | Unslung 1.13-beta ready for alpha testing. LD_LIBRARY_PATH added |
| 02:39.44 | rwhitby | yeah - I was watching the logs, but could get in cause I had do deal with a slug sauna |
| 02:40.48 | rwhitby | Don't put your cable modem, wireless router, slug and cornice drive all in a pile, one on top of each other. You'll start getting USB timeouts and disk problems. |
| 02:41.02 | rwhitby | Put them on their ends, with space for airflow between :-) |
| 02:41.15 | rwhitby | then they start working properly again ... |

| 04:56.21 | rwhitby-away | thx |
| 04:56.55 | rwhitby-away | A tip for flashfs users: /etc/passwd is a symlink, so you need to put /share/hdd/conf/passwd in the .files as well. |
| 04:59.07 | rwhitby-away | 1.13-beta worked for me too |
| 05:01.51 | rwhitby-away | it doesn't help for the serial console, but I guess that was expected. Let's see if it's set for diversion scripts |
| 05:05.36 | *** join/#nslu2-linux rwhitby-away (~rwhitby@CPE-144-136-207-66.sa.bigpond.net.au) |
| 05:07.29 | rwhitby-away | nope - /etc/profile is not read by the shell that runs the diversion scripts. |
| 05:08.21 | rwhitby-away | it is set in a dropbear shell |
| 05:09.16 | rwhitby-away | wonder if it's got to do with whether busybox shell is told it's a login shell or not ... |
| 05:13.40 | rwhitby-away | yep, only reads /etc/profile is argv[0] is "-". |

| 05:22.15 | rwhitby-away | yep, the shell which executes /etc/rc is not a login shell, so it doesn't read /etc/profile. |
| 05:22.59 | kergoth | thats generally expected. startup scripts relying on HOME dirs and other things from profile is generally bad. |
| 05:23.11 | rwhitby-away | and the only env vars set are PATH and TZ. No HOME or TERM or anything else. The code is in snapgear/user/init/simpleinit.c |
| 05:23.17 | rwhitby-away | kergoth: agreed |
| 05:23.31 | kergoth | there's a reason redhat's chkconfig by default runs their startup scripts via 'env' in a minimal environment.. thats what they're expected to deal with |
| 05:23.34 | kergoth | heh |
| 05:24.20 | rwhitby-away | so we need to use an early diversion script to put LD_LIBRARY_PATH in place for any packages starting up from /opt/etc/init.d ... |
