| 00:17.53 | ChulJin | Good afternoon! |
| 00:18.27 | ChulJin | Please forgive me for bringing this here...I did go to #nslu2-general as directed in this channel's topic, but no one there seems to be awake :P |
| 00:18.39 | ChulJin | if it helps, I'm a developer, just not Linux. :) |
| 00:21.02 | ChulJin | I have just today gotten my first NSLU2, and I used Linksys' own setup utility to change it to DHCP. After resetting it, it goes through what seems a normal bootup, then beeps twice, wait a few seconds, repeat. I understand (thanks google) that this means a DHCP server could not be found (that's something I'll look at separately). |
| 00:21.35 | ChulJin | In the meantime, though, I will just go back to 192.168.1.77 on the NSLU2, which allegedly can be accomplished by pressing the reset button for 2 seconds. |
| 00:22.16 | ChulJin | Unclear to me: turn it on first, wait for it to boot up (and the double-beeping to start), then press the said button for 2 seconds? |

| 00:22.53 | ChulJin | Linksys' own docs say after 2 seconds one hears a beep...I didn't...is it enough to just count? |
| 00:25.50 | philpem | Hold the RESET button on the back in (with power off), hit Power, wait 10 seconds and the NSLU2 will reset. |
| 00:26.42 | ChulJin | ...including resetting the IP to static .1.77? |

| 17:08.31 | philpem | Hi |
| 17:09.11 | philpem | I've just installed 2.6.16 from the MMF, but there seem to be a lot of iptables modules missing (along with good ol' ppp-synctty). |
| 17:09.44 | philpem | How can I run make menuconfig on the mmf sources, then force a rebuild on the kernel with my config? |
| 17:10.37 | philpem | I'm after ipt-conntrack, ipt-state and ipt-limit... |
| 17:17.27 | EvilDevil | philpem change the defconfig in openembedded/packages/linux/ixp4xx-kernel/2.6.16 |
| 17:18.04 | philpem | is it possible to run menuconfig against that? |
| 17:18.06 | EvilDevil | what's your target? debianslug/openslug? |
| 17:18.11 | philpem | openslug |
| 17:18.17 | EvilDevil | philpem i don't think so |
| 17:18.50 | EvilDevil | just add CONFIG_NET.... IPTABLES NOCLUE ;) to the defconfig |
| 17:18.51 | philpem | failing that, is there a list anywhere of what module corresponds to what CONFIG_ parameter? |
| 17:19.07 | EvilDevil | yes |
| 17:19.17 | EvilDevil | kind of |
| 17:21.12 | EvilDevil | read ~/slug/openslug/tmp/work/ixp4xx-kernel-2.6.16-rc4-git9-r0.1/linux-2.6.15/net/ipv4/Kconfig |
| 17:22.30 | EvilDevil | or .,...net/ipv4/netfilter/Kconfig |
| 17:23.18 | EvilDevil | after you edited the defconfig, do rm -rf openslug/tmp/{work,stamps}/ixp4xx-kernel* |
| 17:23.21 | philpem | ah, nailed it. just installed all the ipt* and xt-* modules - that got the script to shut up about missing mods :) |
| 17:24.01 | philpem | wish i'd found out i only needed to zap work and stamps.. i just zapped the whole tmp tree |
| 17:24.52 | EvilDevil | i did that too yesterday. 5 minutes later marceln found out that you only need to remove one package to get the cross compile working again |

| 18:26.32 | NAiL | yeah, if I can repair my DS101, I'll get right on it ;) |
| 18:27.36 | NAiL | I picked up the JTAG cable today, but I haven't tried connecting it |
| 18:27.39 | dwery | right, I forgot you had a problem with it |
| 18:27.46 | NAiL | (as I don't know which pin is what) |
| 18:27.47 | philpem | playing with other NAS gear too, NAiL? :) |
| 18:27.55 | NAiL | philpem: of course :) |
| 18:29.15 | NAiL | haha |
| 18:29.41 | NAiL | I know pin1 is vcc, pin6 is gnd, and all except pin8 are inputs |
| 18:29.52 | philpem | what cable you using? |
| 18:30.07 | NAiL | I've got an olimex cable from sparkfun |
| 18:30.09 | philpem | or are you trying to figure out what the pinout for the jtag on the nas is? |
| 18:30.19 | philpem | s/nas/ds101/ |
| 18:30.41 | NAiL | I'm trying to figure out what the last 5 pins are |
| 18:31.18 | NAiL | After that, I need to find out how to work the jtag magic :-P |
| 18:31.36 | philpem | and i guess the cpu is a BGA, which makes it rather difficult to meter out :-/ |
| 18:31.37 | dwery | NAiL: have you got any suggestion on how to find out the pinout? |
| 18:32.00 | NAiL | dwery: no. Not except the three I've already found. |
| 18:32.15 | dwery | does the pinout + what you have found match any known pinout? |
| 18:33.15 | NAiL | not that I've found |
| 18:33.56 | philpem | hmm, 1hr15m. my slug is doing better than usual since i u/g'd it to 2.6.16rc4 |
| 18:34.38 | philpem | normally it would have frozen by now |
| 18:35.18 | philpem | the one thing i do find unusual is that the load averages seem to hover at 0.0 on my x86 boxen, and 1.0 on the slug... |
| 18:35.44 | NAiL | hmm.. I wonder if the 20-pin connector on my speedtouch 510i is a JTAG port :-P |
| 18:36.02 | philpem | NAiL: 20 pins seems a bit much for jtag. |
| 18:36.19 | NAiL | well, the JTAG-cable I have has a 20-pin connector |
| 18:36.25 | philpem | if it's got a coldfire cpu, it could be BDM. |
| 18:36.32 | NAiL | 10 or so is GND |
| 18:36.48 | philpem | heavily shielded jtag :) |
| 18:37.26 | philpem | if this damn fujitsu modem gives me any more bother, i'm buying a second-hand speedtouch330 to replace it. |
| 18:38.03 | philpem | (on the grounds that 'at least the linux speedtouch drivers are stable') |
| 18:41.10 | NAiL | I need to figure out how the fsck to configure this speedtouch to be routing instead of bridging ;) |
| 18:41.31 | NAiL | so I can get online with my laptop, and continue development ;) |

| 19:12.41 | z0mb | does that mean its not possible at the moment? |
| 19:18.29 | NAiL | philpem: the 1.0 loadavg is because of the ixp network driver. It's just busywaiting so it's harmless |
| 19:19.01 | NAiL | unloading the ixp-modules will drop the loadavg to 0, but you'll lose network ;) |

| 19:59.10 | NAiL | not yet, atleast |
| 19:59.24 | NAiL | I haven't built head in a few days, and currently my devbox is offline |
| 19:59.34 | NAiL | I hope I can fix that later tonight |
| 20:02.15 | caplink811_log | pepijn, this http://pastebin.com/595056 is from earlier this evening on #openslug, same problem with a possible solution |
| 20:03.20 | caplink811_log | you can find the whole channel log tomorrow at http://ibot.rikers.org/%23openslug/ |
| 20:03.23 | pepijn | thnx, caplink |
| 20:04.02 | pepijn | sounds plausible |
| 20:04.17 | pepijn | obviously it was not related to the file/zlib-native thingy ;) |
| 20:04.49 | pepijn | how does monotone handle local mods? |
| 20:09.00 | caplink811_log | pepijn, this http://pastebin.com/595070 is more related to that problem |
| 20:10.56 | pepijn | i needed the first one, build proceeds now |
| 20:10.58 | pepijn | thanks |
| 20:11.09 | pepijn | (got the otherone fixed by a complete rebuild) |
| 20:11.52 | tbm | pepijn: wanna try debian-installer? |
| 20:12.52 | pepijn | tbm: sure... got a memory stick that badly needs debian ;) |
| 20:13.08 | tbm | pepijn: well, it should work now |
| 20:13.30 | pepijn | you updated the webpage? or are you just refering to the build itself? |
| 20:13.49 | pepijn | i mean, it still does what it you told earlier? |
| 20:13.56 | pepijn | and build fixed? |
| 20:14.00 | tbm | the image is fine. a package in the archive got fixed |
| 20:14.04 | tbm | what did you tell me earlier? |
| 20:14.06 | pepijn | or is there actually added funcionality? |
| 20:14.19 | pepijn | k, then i follow you |
| 20:14.36 | tbm | can you clarify? what was it that you told me? |
| 20:14.50 | pepijn | you told me, not the other way around ;) |
| 20:15.04 | pepijn | you updated me on the status of the project |
| 20:15.23 | tbm | I said yesterday that the installation currently doesn't work at all. This is fixed now |
| 20:15.38 | tbm | but there's no added functionality (e.g. no RTC, no rescue function, etc) |
| 20:16.07 | pepijn | k, but got that from the 'package in archive got fixed' bit |
| 20:16.16 | tbm | yeah |
| 20:16.59 | pepijn | you want me to build, or just use the binary image? |
| 20:22.16 | tbm | binary image |
| 20:23.10 | pepijn | debian-etch-beta2-20060216.zip from slug-firmware.net ? |
| 20:23.36 | tbm | yeah |
| 20:23.59 | pepijn | so the date is not the actual build date then :-P |
| 20:24.51 | tbm | it is. like I said, the image is fine. a package in the debian archive had to be fixed |
| 20:25.03 | pepijn | oh yeah, right |
| 20:25.10 | pepijn | it downloads the stuff from the net |

| 22:11.33 | joshua_ | sure, but I want the pretty web management stuff |
| 22:11.42 | joshua_ | samba and NFS are trivial otherwise, though, I agree |
| 22:12.06 | NAiL | You won't get the webinterface ported |
| 22:12.15 | NAiL | IIRC, the webinterface is a binary blob |
| 22:12.22 | joshua_ | neat |
| 22:12.25 | NAiL | (ie, one big CGI) |
| 22:12.28 | pepijn | this is unslung then? |
| 22:12.40 | joshua_ | pepijn, I'm not really sure what my options are. |
| 22:12.50 | NAiL | slugos-* doesn't have a webinterface, so I'm assuming it's unslung |
| 22:12.50 | joshua_ | are there any FOSS distributions for the NSLU2 that have their own cgiblob? |
| 22:12.54 | Sinclair73de | thanks, pepijn! |
| 22:13.13 | pepijn | np, sinclair, was stuck with it myself earlier ;) |
| 22:13.23 | NAiL | joshua_: no. Only unslung has a webinterface. Nobody has made a webinterface for slugos-* |
| 22:14.09 | joshua_ | ah, OK |
| 22:14.36 | NAiL | You could install debian and use webmin ;) |
| 22:15.04 | EvilDevil_ | that's not that pretty though ;) |

| 22:16.17 | joshua_ | hi jacques |
| 22:16.37 | joshua_ | how goes? |
| 22:17.13 | jacques | pretty well - I got a job doing embedded devel, at least 80% linux |
| 22:17.19 | joshua_ | neat! |
| 22:17.30 | jacques | yeah, I am really happy about that |
| 22:18.07 | jacques | I just did a board bring-up - linux on a freescale MPC8245 custom board |
| 22:18.28 | joshua_ | cool! |
| 22:19.48 | jacques | there was an in-house bootloader they had written, so I was able to use the source for that to get u-boot going (memory config registers mostly) |
| 22:21.29 | joshua_ | aha |
| 22:22.06 | jacques | today it built perl :-) |
| 22:22.45 | joshua_ | cool! |
| 22:23.41 | jacques | now I gotta learn about performance tuning - we are trying to replace a tiny OS (ucos) with linux, and so far the usb and tcp numbers aren't looking so hot :-\ |

| 22:32.10 | bundas | hello. can somebody help me with enabling loopback-device functionality on unslung5.5 ? |
| 22:34.11 | jacques | bundas, what are you trying to do? |
| 22:34.20 | jacques | loop mount a filesystem image? |
| 22:34.49 | bundas | no, I want to swap over NFS |
| 22:35.00 | marceln | The loop module is build for unslung 6.7 |
| 22:35.15 | bundas | (swapon dont allow swapping directly with a swapfile over NFS) |
| 22:35.49 | jacques | ok, I'm a bit surprised the loop module isn't available for 5.5 |
| 22:36.37 | bundas | should I consider trying 6.x? |
| 22:37.34 | marceln | It will go beta very soon |
| 22:37.41 | jacques | bundas, I would say yes |
| 22:38.23 | jacques | yay!! mars orbiter achieved orbital insertion |
| 22:40.45 | bundas | being unrealistic, the best would be if someone with an existing build environment could create a loop module and losetup (busybox or standalone)... (right now) (just dreaming) :) |
| 22:41.59 | marceln | I could send you the loop module for unslung 6.7. |
| 22:42.27 | bundas | i just got my slug, and i'm into tinkering. i look into 6.7... |
| 22:42.33 | marceln | I have a running 6.7 build enviroment with flash image and kernel modules. |
| 22:43.04 | bundas | i assume busybox has losetup enabled in 6.7... |
| 22:44.21 | marceln | That seems a other missing feature as well. |
| 22:44.59 | marceln | But running unslung over nfs isn't a starter feature as well. |
| 22:45.55 | NAiL | ah |
| 22:46.41 | bundas | i want to run unslug from a flash drive, but i just dont want to swap to it... |
| 22:48.20 | bundas | so in 6.7 there is a loop module, but i cannot losetup? (just use mount) |
| 22:48.57 | *** part/#nslu2-linux odoc (i=odoc@is.borntobooze.de) |
| 22:51.43 | marceln | ~ # mount -o loop /tmp/swap /mnt |
| 22:51.45 | marceln | ~ # df /mnt |

| 22:51.46 | marceln | /dev/loop0 15863 13 15031 0% /mnt |
| 22:51.50 | marceln | It seems to work |
| 22:52.06 | marceln | Do you need swap? |
| 22:52.27 | marceln | You could disable it and see if you need more then the 32mb of memory |
| 22:56.07 | marceln | I am trying to build slingbox with losetup now |
| 22:57.27 | bundas | i only have circa 10 MB free mem on a just inslunged nslu, so i assume i need swap if i load some additional packages... |
| 22:57.52 | bundas | s/inslunged/unslunged/ |
| 22:59.58 | jacques | jbot, well aren't you ... clever |
| 23:00.23 | bundas | (nice bot, sure.) |
| 23:03.27 | bundas | marceln: can you please try makeing a swapfile in your just created loop-mounted /mnt? |
| 23:04.45 | bundas | because if it works, we just need the loop kernel module, but we dont need losetup... |
| 23:05.13 | jacques | philpem, how big is ettercap? |
| 23:06.54 | bundas | nfs-mount a dir, from that loop-mount a filesystem image, from that swapon a swapfile. i wonder what the speed would be... :) |
| 23:08.52 | bundas | (if someone makes a losetup enabled busybox, we could skip the loop-mounted filesystem image part) |
| 23:12.30 | marceln | I have a proof of concept |
| 23:12.59 | bundas | is it like the above? |
| 23:14.24 | marceln | No. I added losetup to slingbox. |
| 23:16.30 | marceln | If performance is an issue and you have a specific application you want to run i would use a more dedicated setup. |
| 23:16.58 | marceln | Probably ucslug could save a lot of memory and you could run without swap. |
| 23:20.55 | philpem | jacques: about 400K plus the pcap libraries |
| 23:21.07 | philpem | but that's including all the docs and stuff |
| 23:21.31 | bundas | performance in not an issue right now, i just wondered how i could do swapping over the network, because 10 MB isnt looked like much memory |
| 23:21.57 | philpem | something like this could be neat: http://www.irongeek.com/i.php?page=security/wallofshame |
| 23:30.47 | marceln | I just sent a request to the developers list to enable losetup in slingbox. |
| 23:31.07 | bundas | great. |
| 23:31.21 | bundas | i have to go now, thx marceln! bye! |
| 23:31.23 | marceln | But in any case you have to upgrade to ubsling 6.x, |
