Hi

I noticed this recently too on one of my downloads, however  i
normally used files that have been tar'ed. The tar xvf  must ignore
the junk at the end, however when I downloaded a file directly it to
had some junk on the end.

There appear to be several versions of wget it's part of busybox
which is installed as part of unslung but also can be installed
seperately i believe which installs in /opt/bin if i remember
correctly. I didn't look into it any further but it's possible the
bug only relates to one of these wget versions. Might be worth trying
the other one.

If I discover anything else I'll let you know.

regards

Bullfrog

Maybe redirecting the stdout of the cron script might help:

cd /public
/opt/bin/wget -c -i /public/downliad.txt > /dev/null 2>&1

Thanks for that idea. I will look into it when I feel like learning some
more.

But for now I think I can manage by calling wget -q. This stops wget from
writing to stdout.

I'm not sure if it's a wget+cron issue, or just a cron issue. I don't see
the problem for just calling wget.

The version I'm using is a separate install (from ipkg install wget) in
/opt/bin. I call /opt/bin/wget explicitly because I want to use this
"full-featured" wget version.

I managed to eliminate the problem by passing -q to wget. This stops all
console output. However, I don't think it should be necessary to do
this...

I heard about the NSLU2 and wanted to setup a home web server. My broadband
connection is with NTL and limited to 50meg of web space, that is full!

So I bought a slug and followed the guide:
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/SimpleHomeWebsite

I am also using a WRT54G router, which will automatically update the
dyndns.org account settings. I have also set it to port-forward to my slug,
disabled the firewall and turned off all block WAN requests tick boxes.
(Filter Multicast etc…)

OK everything works fine within my LAN. If I type
“http://mywebsite.dyndns.com” into IE or Firefox I see my shiny new website.
However from the WAN side it doesn’t work.

However I can ping “mywebsite.dyndns.com” from the WAN side!! (and the slug
flashes)

Could it be a problem with my router or is it an NTL thing??

Any help would be appreciated
Matt (NSLU2 newbie)

Its probably your router settings. You either need to open port 80 to
the NSLU2 internal LAN IP or put the NSLU2 into the router's DMZ (the
latter is better, if one than one service is provided by the slug).

Oops, I didn't see you entire note as my mail reader shows the upper
half and I didn't scroll down (I'm half-asleep).

So I  checked the wiki pages you referred to, This appears to cover
two solutions to keeping your WAN ip updated. One involves your
external NTL isp and your personal webspace on their servers, the
other uses a dynamic name server service.

Its not clear which method you are using by the questions you are
asking. If you are using dyndns.com correctly, NTL has nothing to do
with it except as providing the "wire" to the internet. If you are
using the first method, then your personal webspace has a index page
redirecting traffic to your WAN ip, and dyndns.com has to pont to
NTL's WAN ip. In this case NTL would have some influence.

How are you pinging from the WAN side? Are you going to a friend's
computer or are you pinging from home? I f the former you are truly
pinging from WAN, but in the latter situation, you are pinging from
the LAN to LAN. This happens to me. If I try to look at my website,
the browers first goes out to fetch my WAN ip,  but this is only the
WAN ip of my DSL/cable modem. The modem sees this as an internal LAN
traffic referring to it, that is using its WAN ip and serves up its
login page, instead of passing the traffic to the internet. To get
around this, I have to setup my hosts file to go to the internal ip
of my webserver.

I suspect from what say that when you refer to WAN, you are
connecting to the WAN port of your Linksys router and not the WAN
port of your ADSL/cable modem. So you have to test this from the net.
There are several places on the net that you enter your URL, it
fetches the page and presents a snap shot of your webpage back to
you. This is truly a WAN side access.

Ah hah! Very interesting!  Since I am new to linux, I'm not sure what

you mean by backup. Do you mean dd? If so, I need a lot of room on

another drive.



Are there any busybox commands to create new partitions or must I do

it with the web interface?



When I said "Linux" I meant to say Fedora or SuSE linux. Can I plug my

USB drive directly into my PC and create these partitions so they are

compatible with the NSLU2?

Marceln> You can use dd to copy the disk to a file on ext2 as well!

Marceln> This really no reason to support ntfs.



What if I want to be able to boot Windows from the disk when it is

plugged directly into the PC. Don't I need NTFS then?



Are you suggesting I don't need NTFS because I can boot windows via a

network boot?

Whoa, I'm not getting anything near that when I have two NSLU2s

connected to windows and I copy a linux distro iso file from one NSLU2

to another. Is something wrong with my configuration? I'm only getting

180kbyte/s.



Thanks much!

Hi all,
I'm using Unslung 6.8.

I've been following the 'how to' on setting up an email server
(SetUpAnEmailServer2), and am nearly there.

Mark mentions that the spamd daemon should be running, which can be
done by running:

/opt/etc/init.d/S62spamd

However, this file hasn't been created on my Slug.  I've installed
Spamassassin via ipkg - is there something else I need to do to get
the startup script in init.d to be installed?

Alternatively, has someone got a copy of what needs to go into the
startup script, and I'll add it by hand.

Thanks,

James

I had similiar problems with the wrt54g. It turned out
to be the parental control service that I have with Linksys.

Hi there,

I have plenty of message log like this :
<46>Oct 12 20:59:09 klogd: attempt to access beyond end of device
<46>Oct 12 20:59:09 klogd: 08:02: rw=1, want=0, limit=127968

The device/partition seems to be the swap partition on my 1 GB USB
stick on disk 2 where I unslung with version V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta.

I can't find accurate feedback from my friend google with this
"want=0" which looks unusual with this error.

My device install looks pretty standard :
-bash-3.1# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 32 heads, 62 sectors, 1024 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1984 * 512 bytes

usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /share/flash/data type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda2 on /share/flash/conf type ext3 (rw,sync)

Any clue ? idea ? help ?
Thanks in advance

unslungly yours

Christophe

Sorry for the confusion. The method I want to use as you say is just to use
my broadband connection as a pipe to my slug.

Luckily my router (wrt54g) has options to update dynamic DNS service’s. From
a drop down list I can select dynDNS then put in the account username and
password the router then automatically updates dynDNS whenever my randomly
issued IP changes. This seems to be working correctly and if I ping
“mywebsite.dyndns.com” it returns the correct IP address.

The other side is the NSLU2, which again seems to be working correctly. I
did change the config file so my website is now using port 80 (put the admin
on 8080) now when I browse to the slug I see my website without having to
reference the port number. (ie using 192.168.123.3 rather than
192.168.123.3:81)

So finally all I should have to do is link the two together:
I have port forwarded 80 to 192.168.123.3
Disabled the firewall and turned off all block WAN requests tick boxes.
Also I have now enabled DMZ to port 192.168.123.3

Once this has been setup I can browse to “mywebsite.dyndns.com” and I see my
website. However this is from the LAN side on my desktop 192.168.123.10

I then got a friend to browse to the same address but it just says, “The
connection has timed out”. However if he pings the address it replies and
when he does I see the slug com LED flash at my end too. (Just tried it at
work too. same problem!!)

It’s so close I can taste it!!

Make sure that your web server is reporting the
name 'mywebsite.dyndns.com' and not its internal IP address to
clients.
If your web server is saying that it is 192.168.1.254 then you will
be able to access it internally, but no external client will have a
route to that IP address. 'Cause it only exists on your internal
LAN.
I'm not sure what HTTP server you are using but with Apache2 it
would be in the http.conf file and a setting called 'ServerName'
If you have the 'ServerName' value properly set
then 'UseCanonicalName' may be set wrong.

Mark.

Hi

Sam sent me his NSLU2, and I fitted 4 pins to give access to the
serial port. I wasn't able to get the network connection to
work,however it wouldn't even ping itself.

So had to figure out how to do a complete upgrade using serial cable
only.

I've therefore generated a new wiki page on how to do this. However
my wiki skills aren't great and with the preview not working it may
require some tidying up visually.

The page is here if someone could add it to the how-to's.

i edit /etc/samba/smb.conf but after reboot,he is restore to default.
why? and where i must do change my parameters?

thx

Hello,

after we had a powerfail my NSLU2 doesn't recognize my 1GB USB stick.
I've tryed to install original firmware, accessed redboot and deleted
configuration but neither helped. I got still following error message
in /var/log/messages or dmesg :

hub.c: new USB device 00:01.2-2, assigned address 38
usb.c: USB device not accepting new address=38 (error=-71)

I can mount the stick on other Linux systems without problems.


with kind regards

I added it to the How to for you earlier! Under "RedBoot/Flash"

Will wikify it a bit for you, im more used to Mediawiki, but the
principal is the same


If anyone knows why the NIC wasn't accesible (and still isnt! in
redboot) (But its fine in normal mode when booted up), i'd
appreciate someone being able to tell me!


Thanks Jeremy!

As you correctly observed, the Linksys firmware will restore
/etc/samba/smb.conf after every boot. It will also change this file if
you use the Web interface. But it will not change
/etc/samba/user_smb.conf, so make your changes in that file if you can.

This is mentioned in the Wiki page
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/CreateASingleSambaShareFor2Harddisks

I bought the nslu2 based on Toms Hardware review:
http://www.tomsnetworking.com/2004/07/06/
linksys_network_storage_link_for_usb_2_nslu2/index.html
and
http://www.tomsnetworking.com/2004/08/03/how_to_nslu2_hack_pt1/

specifically the part that says:
"Being too lazy to take my NSLU2 initialized disk downstairs to my Mandrake
Linux
system, I downloaded ext2 (a subset of ext3) drivers for my MacOs X iBook and
plugged
the disk into its USB port.
  Tip: The Mac OS X ext2 drivers I used can be downloaded from the ext2 for Mac
OS X
SourceForge project. There is also a read-only ext2 driver for Windows
NT/2000/XP that
you can try here. It was used to create the screenshot shown in Figure 3.
Up popped two mounted filesystems: a large filesystem with all of my data files
on it, and
a small ..."

I also used the nlsu2 Wiki as a reference - it did not address the specific
issue but I
assumed that things would go well when I tried to mount the EXT3 formatted drive
on my
Mac OS X.

However, after much trial and error and days of searching through the net - I
have come
to the following conclusions - please correct me if I am wrong - and then I will
post this
on the Wiki.

1. nslu2 must have a drive formattd in EXT3 to even change the basic admin
password - a
FAT formatted drive is open to everyone to login and you cannot setup additional
shares,
users and groups if there is only one FAT drive attached to the nslu2. (This was
not for me
- an unsecured drive on my network - with all my data!!)

2. The EXT3 format used by nslu2 is actually an EXT3 Journaled format - its not
possible
to force a simple EXT3 format.

3. EXT2FS, the utility mentioned in the review at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx
is broken with 10.4.8 with respect to mounting EXT3 Journaled drives - disks
will show in
the prefernce pane but cannot be mounted. USB or Firewire has nothing to do with
it. So I
have to asssume that Toms Hardware reviewer used an older version of Mac OS X
(which I
dont have) or I'm missing something.

Thus the nslu2 is unsuitable at this moment for Mac OS X 10.4.8 users who were
hoping
to get plug-n-play use from the EXT3 formatted drive from the nslu2.

I'm using the latest firmware from Linksys - no software or hardware hacks to
the nlsu2.

Dear All;

I am looking for further specifications for the PSC A2V56S408TP 32MB
ram chips used on the DS101g+ boards. The link on the nls2u wiki
points to a page with no specifications :(

Ideally im trying to find out what format PC133 (2-2-2 or 3-3-3) is
used; and how the memory is allocated; e.g. 4x8x4 (4 rows, 8 columsn,
4 banks) etc. Does anyone know?

Many thanks,

Hi James, this is a pretty difficult subject but I'd be happy to pass along
any knowledge that I have.  I don't know how much you know about linux (I
know virtually nothing) so let me know if you don't understand something.

There are a couple different keys to getting this working, one is spnego
which stands for sp negotiate (thanks to mujia for letting me know about
this).  Spnego is a bizarre and obscure variable that needs to be changed in
order for a pocket pc to work with a slug.  This is located in
/etc/samba/smb.conf and is by default "yes" even though you can't see it in
the config file.  Use Putty to talk to the slug.  If you're using the linux
text editor nano, navigate to the above directory and type "nano smb.conf".
You need to insert the new line at the top of the config "use spnego = no".
It won't work if you omit the spaces, but I don't think the case matters.
One minor problem with this is that the smb.conf file goes back to default
values after you reboot the slug.  I haven't gotten around to figuring out
how to do it but you can make it stick by writing a diversion script.  If
you figure this out let me know!

Next you need to connect the ppc to your wireless network.  Bear in mind
that it'll turn off wifi after a period of time unless it's plugged in and
your player will lock up and play an annoying 3 second loop of whatever
track it's on for 5 mins.  Mine does have a nice little revolving photograph
screensaver thing though that comes up when it's plugged in.  I actually
bought a little metal plate stand and it sits on it like a picture frame and
rotates pictures of me and my girlfriend.

After it's connected you need to map your slug as a network drive.  The
windows explorer program that comes with the ppc is too retarded to do this
so you need a third party program like vm netbrowser or resco pocket
explorer.  Vm netbrowser is better, but you should probably get resco as
it's more multi functional.  It can easily be found on torrent sites.  With
resco hold down the stylus on the network icon and select map network drive.
Type in the path, which will be something like \\slug\disk 2.  Mine happens
to be called  \\turboslug\disk 2.

If you got through all that then you need to get the third key, which is a
decent music player.  WM Player is too retarded to access network drives so
you need to use "pocket music" or "pocket player".  Pocket player is less
well known but far, far superior.  It allows one hand use (what a novelty),
has better tag filename display and it's much faster at indexing files.
However i'm using pocket music because I can't find a key for pocket player.
Either of these can access the network drive you just mapped, however you
have to log in every single time, which is annoying in itself but is also
made worse because you have to sit there for 25 seconds to wait for the
login screen to come up.  I can't really remember but I think the login and
pw end up being something you setup during your initial slug configuration
so try those.  Of course the remember password function doesn't work.  If
you figure out how to unpassword this again plz let me know.

It should work now, but there are a couple general problems:  don't try to
add a substantial amount of music to pocket player at once or it will lock
up.  You'll have to use a lot of playlists which is ok I guess. It can also
be a bit slow when opening your audio folder.  I have a wireless g router
and it takes an uncomfortably long time to open the folder I have all my
albums in.  I have about 350 albums and it takes up to 30 seconds to open
the folder.  So imagine sitting on your sofa listening to music then when
you want to change it you've got to get up and stand next to your stereo for
awhile.  Now if you have a long cord to your stereo you can sit comfortably
on your sofa but you'll still have to wait.  It'd be nice if there was a
good wireless solution from ppc to stereo but fm transmitters are a
nightmare and need power and I'm not aware of any Bluetooth solutions
available.  Bluetooth is also usually a nightmare to get working.

Possible solutions: Bluetooth connection to stereo, faster wireless network
(wireless N 300mbs versus 54mbs G), or really expensive ppc (I have an hp
rx3715).

The other problems are the config resetting and the password mentioned
above.

One final note:  a slug is about $100 and a hdd enclosure is about $25.  If
you're willing to spend an extra $400 you can a get home theater pc to
replace the slug.  You'll save yourself a tremendous pain in the ass and
you'll be able to do everything we've been trying to do with music with
video too, as well as having a DVR, etc., etc.  You can also use a remote
control with it.  The slug remains a cheap solution though.

That should be it, let me know how it goes!  I forwarded this to the list.

Subject: Setup for Slug as music server

Hi Chris,
I saw your 'all up and running' message on the Yahoo group, and am
intrigued as to the setup you've got working.

It looks like you've done just what I want to do...

I would like to have my Slug acting as a music server, and be able to
stream it to my current stereo.  I've got a spare Pocket PC device
(with wireless) which I'm hoping to use to control the music server
(via web interface?), and plug into the stereo (or feed the music to
the stereo via another route).

Could you let me know you managed to set things up, please?

Thanks,

James

That file doesn't exist in my install, do I need to create it?



[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I did refer you to a wiki page, which says:

"After that we have to add some lines to the samba configuration. But
rather than writing to the default samba config /etc/samba/smb.conf,
we will create a new file /etc/samba/user_smb.conf. This file is
loaded automatically by the Linksys firmware right after loading the
default /etc/samba/smb.conf."

Many of us also use our Slugs, running the Twonkyvision music server, to talk
to a Netgear MP101 media player across an 802.11 network. It's a nice
combination, I have two MP101s in the house serving up half a terabyte of
music. The MP101s are cheap on eBay ($30 to $50).

The MP101s have trouble following HTTP streams from Internet radio stations
(such as those found on Shoutcast) but are rock solid on locally served MP3
streams.

I'm seconding what Perry said.  I use slugs in two locations running
Unslung 6.8 and 5.5 respectively to serve an MP101 and a DSM 320
wirelessly.  The DSM 320 also handles pictures (I've had only limited
success with video).  It also serves internet radio (my favorite,
WeenieCampbell.com, old-time country blues) with pretty good success.
It sometimes drops the connection.  I don't know if it would do better
in that regard if it were wired.  I can play any tune in my collection
with just a few clicks of the remote.

I have openslug 3.2 (slug de-de-clocked) with twonky serving mp101.

I was having issues with the mp101 dropping out using wireless, since
using the wired connection, the mp101/twonky on slug combo is rock
solid, never fails (longest streaming time has been 6 hours with out a
drop out off club 977 mix).

I'm thinking about dropping out of open slug and going to unslung 6.8,
mainly cause open slug is a cow when your linux noob.

It does sound something like that because everything works OK while on the
LAN.

I’m using the inbuilt thttpd web server and can’t find any reference to
'ServerName' in the thttpd-www.conf file. How can I tell what my web server
is reporting to see if this is the definitely problem?

As per this page:

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/FAQ/SpinDownUSBHarddisks

I wanted to notify you guys that my usb-only "metal gear box"

(http://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Shopping/ShoppingItem.asp?ItemList=N82E1681\
7155204&MainItemList=N82E16817155204)

spins down just fine using sdparm --command=stop.

Somebody should update that page to list it as one of the working
enclosures.

Have fun,
Michael.

I guess twonkyvision and slingboxes always put me off because I would have
to buy new hardware (I have way too much as it is!).  Also the fact that
these devices are pretty much unitaskers bothered me, but I really thought
of using the slug with ppc because I already had one and I could use the
slug and ppc in my car on a long move that I had planned across country.



But anyway I've been playing around with it more and there's a new release
of pocket player which is pretty exciting.  They've increased the browse
speed tremendously and it has a media library but unfortuneately I still
can't get it to index my 30 gigs of music into the library and have it
stick.  However they have a plugin now that allows it to be used as a upnp
device, so it can be used with twonkyvision!  I'll have to test it out as
soon as I get a chance.
