Subject: speed between a slug and a modded wrt54G router
rob_738
Send Email Send Email
 
I am thinking of hooking up some 1-wire devices and have the option of using the
wrt54G or SLUG.  Does anybody know the horsepower of the respective CPU's. 
would the wrt54G perform as fast as the slug ?  My application would require
wireless ethernet connectivity anyhow...I was hoping to run 4or5 1-wire devices
off the bus, temperature, A/D, LCD and switched output

Subject: NSLU2 AWOL - help!
licenced2000
Send Email Send Email
 
Hi All,
NSLU2 with UnSlung 3 installed on it (I know its old, but its been
working for ages with no problems till now)

Last night I used the backup function to backup files to a shared
location on the network - this worked OK except for one of the jobs
which started, and then read 'Permission denied' in the log file. I
thought nothing of it but maybe its caused my problems.

After other backups had finished the NSLU was still accessible over
the network.

This morning, Windows stated that the drive mapping to the NSLU2 drive
was no longer valid. I went to the web config pages for the NSLU and
could initially see the drive contents, but on accessing the admin
pages it stated it could not read the drive settings. I tried a reboot
from the web pages but this had no effect on the device.

I reset the device manually.

Now the NSLU boots up - it recognises the drive attached and I can see
the lights on the box and the drive blinking like they normally do
when the box starts up (initialises Twonky and refreshes the twonky DB
so a lot of initial activity). However it is not accessible through
the usual IP address I assigned it, the router admin pages say that it
is apparently not connected (although the light is on for the port
into which it is plugged), and the utility that came with the NSLU2
that is supposed to detect a box plugged into the network does not see
it. I have also tried 'standard' IP addresses like 192.168.0.1 and the
one in the NSLU2 quick start guide but nothing - none of them ping.

Anyone have any ideas what may have gone wrong? Samba up the spout or
something? Other than that I have no clue.

Thanks for any advice

Hi,

I am running Linux (Red Hat Fedora Core 4) on my PC and want to mount
the disk attached to my NSLU2 on it. Can you tell me how to do it? I
am using a Maxtor One Touch II disk on my NSLU2, and the disk was
formatted from a Windows machine with the setup wizard supplied on cd
from Linksys.

Thank you,

The faq says one can use Commercial Paragon NTFS for Linux -
http://www.ntfs-linux.com/.

How does this work with ipkg? Do I purchased the embedded version? How
much is that?

Or can I use the $19.95 version? Or do I have to use the $149.95
version?

Also: can I expect response for the native linksys software? I have not
uploaded the unslung firmware yet: it is just out of the box and I am
getting the following error when I copy a file to a drive on my slug.

Cannot copy <filename>: The path is too deep.

Thanks,
Siegfried

There are several ways.

1) Use smbmount (from the samba suite) to mount the "windows shares" exported
from the NSLU2. This can be used even with an unmodified NSLU2.

2) Install unslung (or equivalent). Then setup nfs on the NSLU2 and mount.
Cf. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Unslung/Nfs-utils

3) Use ssh. In KDE, maybe fish:/ would be sufficient for your needs, if not
you can try fuse+sshfs.

Personally, I prefer smbmount since that is the only way I can transfer files
with international characters in their names and get them translated.

It's installed in the firmware image of the linksys firmware and
unslung 6.8.

Hi all,
I'm struggling to get my NSLU2 to act as an ftp server. I'm running
unslung v5.5 and I've opened up all the correct ports on my firewall &
forwarded the correct ports, but can't establish a connection. I'm
sure with the old Linksys firmware there was an 'enable FTP server'
tickbox on the admin page somewhere, but I can't find it on the
unslung version. What am I doing wrong?

In a word - yup. If you're simply going to hook up two drives with no
plans to move them you're better off having them natively formatted.
More stable, possibly faster, etc.

Linksys added an FTP server in the R63 version of their firmware so you'll
need Unslung 6.8 to pick up that FTP server.  With Unslung 5.5 you'll have
to install one of the FTP servers -- vsftpd comes to mind, but I think
there's another one also available (proFTPD?).  Check the wiki; it will
provide not only the correct names, but information on the differences
between the various packages.

I have thought about converting my EXT3 external drives to NTFS, but I
understand that this would mean that I couldn't control shares &
access on the disks. Is this correct?

This is correct.  If *all* of your external drives are converted, your NSLU2
would lose a great deal of functionality; it would have no concept of groups
or users as applied to the shares, and (of course) you could not use Unslung
firmware (you could install the firmware, but you could not proceed to
actually "unsling" the device to install additional software).

But perhaps the biggest problem would be that your NSLU2 would begin to
crash and/or lock up randomly.  It has been verified that the NTFS drivers
as provided by Linksys causes instability in the NSLU2 under load.

It has to check the disk first. Maybe that fails.

Could you start the slug without disk and check if
that works. After that you should try to connect your
disk and see what happens.

Hello all,
   I am desperate. So, the de-underclock mod worked, but gentoo wouldn't
load off the usb drive anymore, so I had though I broke it at first,
then I unplugged the usb drive, and openslug boots right up, and dmesg
does say 266 mhz. Cool. But, what the heck is going on? Why won't it
load gentoo anymore? I didn't change anything, other than double the cpu
speed?

Thanks for ANY info, help, links to fixes, anything... just a message

What does "wouldn't load" mean, exactly?  Do you get any messages on the
serial port?  If no serial, what's happening with the LEDs?

Basically, the kernel is loaded off flash -- and you should get the kernel
running regardless of what's on the USB drive.

When I added my serial port, I suspect that I messed something up, because
USB Port 1 is now very "flakey".  The port works fine, there's just a 50-50
chance that the slug will reset itself when you plug something in or wiggle
the connector.  I suspect a hair-thin wire, or a solder-bridge that
intermittently shorts something.  Might you have some similar problem that
only manifests itself when you use the USB port?

Thanks for your reply. Turns out it has defaulted itself back to the
factory IP address - putting the route information into my router
allowed me to get onto it. No idea how to get it back to my old
settings now though, but thats a different topic

Hi All,
did a backup to a shared network location the other night - this has
worked before OK, but this time one of the jobs failed with an error:
   Backup: Error occurs in job 'Software', permission is denied.

The error might not have anything to do with what happened next, but
if so its a big coincidence. After a couple of hours the mapped drive
I have to the NSLU2 in Windows went down. I rebooted the NSLU, and now
it has decided to reset to the standard factory IP address - I can
still connect to it over the GUI using a route mapping and that
192.168.1.77 IP Address. However, when I navigate to any of the
advanced pages in the GUI I get the message
   Fail to get Samba information
Trying to change any of the settings and apply - like setting the IP
address - gives the same message.

I can see the mapped drive again in Windows, using the 77 IP address -
so I guess Samba must be working. However, because the box is on a
separate IP sub-net, my music player can't see the Twonky service, so
I really need to get those old settings back.

I have tried the Restore Default Config option - that just gives me
the Samba message again.

Any help appreciated!

which is weird as the windows driver disk that comes with the dongle

Anyone have any ideas?

creating the partitions...it'll only gets to 5% then nothing.

tried on a hdd / 1GB/2GB flash disk connected on port1 also tried port2.

------

2. also i have a second slug which i had installed debian before (flashdisk
port1) but on wednesday it just lost it's connection, i cant ping it (i can ping
redboot)...anyone have any idea what might have caused it? flashed
"di-nslu2.bin" then "debian-sda1.bin", i cant still ping it.



kind regards
trick

Thank you for your answer. Using smbmount worked. I had tried to mount
it with the graphical interface for Samba. But it did not work. I now
think this was because I tried to mount in with the default admin user
of the NSLU2 (but this admin user is maybe not a valid Samba user?).
However, when I added a new user, I could log in with the gui of
Samba. Anyway now that my experience has grown rapidly, I could do it
on command line like this:

smbmount //"ip-number"/backup /mnt/linksys -o username=user,
password=xxxxxxxx, rw
(all this should be on one line)
(where "ip-number" is the fixed ip number of the NSLU2, backup is a
folder in the root folder of my NSLU2, and /mnt/linksys is the folder
where I want the NSLU mounted on my computer)

or in /etc/fstab like this:

//"ip-number"/backup  /mnt/linksys       smbfs
username=user,password=xxxxxxx,rw,users      0 0
(all this should be on one line)

Maybe those two ways to mount an unmodified NSLU2 from a linux box
should be included in a faq?

I am trying to compile OpenSlug so that I can develop some packages.

But when I try to build the cross compiler on Fedora Core5 (AMD64) I
get the following error

Function do_rootfs failed

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

The slug can't provide much power on the USB port, so some drives have
problems even on a standard slug.  The drive I bought for mine wouldn't
work at all, although it was fine plugged into my PC.   I then tried
using an externally-powered USB hub between the drive and the slug and
then it worked fine.
    De-underclocking the slug slightly increases its power consumption,
thereby decreasing the power available through the USB port, so it's
possible that it dropped below the threshold of what your particular
drive requires.  Try powering your drive externally, either through
a powered hub or powering your drive enclosure and see if that solves
your problem.

I would love to hear that as well! Does it work with sending and
receiving signals? I am not that great with soldering...

I think I just goofed.

Since I had two new 300GB disks and two new slugs I thought I'd let the slug
format my disks. Apparently it uses FAT32. No problem, I thought, I'll just
use Norton GHOST to repartition and reformat the disk later.



Thanks to mwester's help on #nslu2-general, I have unslung one of two slugs.
But now that stuff is out on my hard disk. How is it stored there? Did it
create it's own partition? If I use Norton Ghost to create an image of
another disk, won't that blow away the rootfs (is that what it is called)?



How can I unsling my slug again after repartitioning my drive?



If I have two slugs and two identicall drives and unsling each slug to its
own drive, will those drives be interchangeable.



Thanks,

Siegfried

No. Native disks (disks formated on the slug) use ext2. This is
a linux native filesystem.

There are tools to read this filesystem under windows (explore2fs).

Yes.

That depends how you store that image.

If you write those images to the shares served by the slug nothing
will happen to the rootfilesystem.

In general not.

There are certain rules for the partitions on the root drive.
It only works if you comply to those rules.

In general yes.

Hi,

I am currently trying to a USB-UIRT with misterhouse to send IR
signal.  I had a tremendous amount of help from one the developper and
until we had it running and working on my fedora core x86.  I am now
trying to make it work with a nslu2 bu I do have some issues:

The USB-UIRT seem to have problem on the nslu2.  When I attached a
simple IR Blaster into the USB-UIRT, the little blaster was able to
send the correct signal but the USB-UIRT unit itself wasnt able.  I do
suspect a DTR problem maybe in the ftdi_sio driver.... I would liek ot
know if anyone has suggestion about that... I am so close to have it
to work...

I am also working on a cm15a solution for the NSLU2 ....

I notice there is an add printer icon on my NSLU2 that have recently
installed unslung on. I double clicked on it and it decided it wanted a
password. I tried the default admin account that works on the web site but
that did not work. Why did not that work? What username and password do I
need?

Thanks,

Siegfried
