14:49.14goetter2hey.. i just flashed the debianslug 3.1 firmware to a device with an unknown previous state (sat in storage for a year, i forgot everything about it). how can i figure out what IP it's configured with/reset it to 192.168.1.77?
14:50.06NAiLgoogle for resetsysconf
14:50.57NAiLthat's resetting it
14:51.11NAiLfiguring out the ip might be a very time-consuming task ;)
14:53.15goetter2perfect. thanks
14:53.24NAiLnp
14:53.37goetter2guess i'll have to turn off my net for a minute to do that. uses 192.168.0.x ;) brb

15:08.38goetterso... after that resetsysconf, i should be able to ping/login at 192.168.1.77, yes?
15:12.16goetter<PROTECTED>
15:12.59NAiLyou sure?
15:13.29goetterpretty sure
15:13.54NAiLbut you can reach it in redboot?
15:13.59goetteryeah
15:14.13NAiLdo you have a disk attached?
15:14.16goetternope
15:14.24NAiLhmm
15:14.25goetteri noticed that while debianslug is loading, it blinks orange
15:14.32goetterand at the end of each orange blink it flashes red
15:14.33goetternormal?
15:14.52NAiLif it kinda looks like it's pulsating, yes
15:14.57goettereventually it gets to a green light on power and ethernet
15:15.53goetteris there a forum or other place i might look for others with this problem?
15:16.14NAiLhmm
15:16.25NAiLI'd try simply reflashing first
15:16.43goetteryeah just did that
15:16.53goetterand it works ^_^
15:16.56NAiLhehe
15:17.32goetterso i hear debianslug has 16,000 packages available? is that true?
15:17.50NAiLthat's if you install debian on top
15:18.09goettercan i fit debian on a 300mb partition?
15:18.14NAiLbarely
15:18.29goetterhow good is the nslu2 at resizing ext3?
15:18.39NAiLnot at all the last time I checked
15:19.12goetterwell then
15:19.28NAiLdabianslug has some 3500 packages IIRC
15:19.41NAiLs/dabianslug/debianslug/
15:19.57goetterhah
15:20.10goetterwell, something in the debianslug wiki page mentions 16k
15:20.16goetterwhich made me pick it over gentoo
15:20.23NAiLah, yeah
15:20.58NAiLI'm not sure of the recommended way of installing debian on a slug anymore though
15:21.15NAiLit used to be debootstrapping from debianslug, but it might be better to use the d-i image
15:21.50NAiLI have enough work trying to keep tabs on the packages in the slugos feeds :-P
15:22.59goetterwell looks like d-i is out of order at the moment
15:23.22goetterImportant note: unfortunately, the unofficial images that include a driver for the built-in Ethernet device no longer work
15:23.32NAiLah
15:23.40NAiLthere's an open-source driver in the works though
15:23.48goetterso it says
15:23.54goetteri'd rather not wait ;-)
15:23.57NAiLhehe
15:24.35pepijngoetter: try the 'bootstrap from slugos' method for getting Debian installed on your HD
15:25.17pepijnadvantage is that you will have slugos available when things fail
15:25.27goetterhttp://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/DebianSlug/Bootstrap yes?
15:25.28pepijn(slugos in flash, debain on HD)
15:25.39pepijnyes
15:25.59goetterwell, i just flashed the debianslug-3.10-beta.bin
15:26.53pepijndo you have debian installed on /dev/sda1 ?
15:27.28goetternope, i have some unknown other installed on that
15:27.32goetteri think it is openslug
15:27.41goetterbut i wish to wipe it (it's a ~300mb partition
15:29.13pepijnk, then you can procede with the wiki-page you just mentioned
15:29.29pepijnmy bad, thought you were refering to the d-i firmware
15:33.40goettermy swap is also kind of small. is it possible to resize an ext3 with the debianslug firmware?
15:34.17pepijndid you not want to wipe the drive?
15:34.39goetteri have a 150gb partition with things i'd like to have back
15:34.44goetteroh silly me, this is a usb drive
15:34.48goetteri'll just plug it into knoppix
15:36.38pepijnhehe

18:29.27NAiLOk, feeds fully rebuilt. Samba upgraded. zd1211 upgraded. Couple of kernel modules upgraded. All the packages in bug #12 added.
18:29.45koenNAiL: nice work
18:29.51NAiLgetting there ;)
18:31.20jelle,hi NAiL
18:32.29jelleis there another way to upgrade my openslug to a newer version without reinstalling everything?
18:32.43jellelike my openvpn, thttp, samba, everything?
18:33.50joshinjelle, ipkg?
18:34.20joshinThanks NAiL !
18:34.21NAiLupgrading from 2.x to 3.10 is a painful process, if it works at all
18:34.51NAiLI suggest backing up configs and reflashing/reinstalling... It'll hurt less.
18:35.15NAiLIf anyone knows about any problems with the feeds, I'll look into them ;-)
18:35.39jellealright, i should have my scripts and reinstall logs somewhere, if not this is a time to update them.
18:35.42jellethanks again
18:35.49NAiLnp
18:36.08joshinNAiL, getting an error with initscripts-slugos with build 4001
18:36.22NAiLbuild 4001?
18:36.22joshinrm: cannot remove `/home/josh/slug/openslug/tmp/work/initscripts-slugos-1.0-r75.10/image/etc/rcS.d/S06alignment': No such file or directory
18:36.29NAiLthe latest OE head?
18:36.45joshinYeah, sorry wrong term.

18:38.15NAiLit's committed to monotone.openembedded.org. It'll get synced with monotone.nslu2-linux.org in a while probably
18:38.41NAiLjust fixed ;)
18:38.47joshinCool, thanks.  
18:39.40joshinI want to get cdrtools and cdrdao ported to OE/OpenSlug.  Time to remember how to bitbake...
18:40.05NAiLcdrtools is already in oe
18:40.20NAiLoh... cdrtools-native only
18:40.20joshinIt is but only for native.  At least the last time I looked.

18:59.50NAiLjoshin: feel free to write a .bb for those, and I'll add them to the feed ;)
19:39.48jelleeh, remind me again, where can I find what version of openslug I'm running?
19:41.53NAiLcat /etc/ipkg/cross.conf (or something like that) ;)
19:46.00*** join/#openslug koen (n=koen@dominion.kabel.utwente.nl)
19:46.45jellehi koen, wb
19:48.23koenhey jelle
19:48.39jelle:)
19:48.46NAiLkoen: is rw around anymore?
19:48.50jelleright NAiL, root@Cosmo:/home/jelle# cat /etc/ipkg/cross-feed.conf
19:48.50jellesrc/gz cross http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/openslug/cross/2.7-beta
19:49.00NAiL2.7-beta it is ;)
19:49.19jelleseems I should upgrade... so I will
19:49.24koenNAiL: he isn't
19:49.31NAiLmmkay
19:49.46NAiLjust wondering.. he's the maintainer of lcdproc
19:50.15koenhe's not maintaining anything in OE anymore
19:50.42NAiLShould I remove the MAINTAINER field in any packages he used to maintain? ;)
19:51.14koenI have no opinion on that
19:53.35NAiLDEPENDS = "${@(find('curses') != -1) and 'ncurses' or ''}"        <-- will this work to select the correct curses?
19:54.45koenwe only have ncurses in OE AFAICT
19:55.05NAiLmakes it a bit simpler ;)
