Hi guys,

I've been using Unslung for over two years now, I guess. It has worked
great, and an essential part of my home network. I decided to take the
plunge into OpenSlug 3.10-beta since I had gotten better with Linux.
All is working fine, except:

- No DISK 1 or DISK 2 lights (There is a 2GB flash drive in DISK 2,
and a 180GB drive in DISK 1)
- dnsmasq runs fine for a little while but unexpectedly quits

Can anyone tell me how I can troubleshoot those two items? First is
mostly an annoyance, but the second item is important to resolve. I
don't see any log files /var/log.

Please advise,

Thanks.

PACKAGES_THAT_NEED_TO_BE_FIXED = nethack

I have added a swapfile (32MB), and am noticing no more dnsmasq
crashes. So this was definitely the solution. I am still curious why
the LEDs are not working?

I just checked in a revised nethack.mk, it builds for all optware
platforms now. The ipk should be in the feed next time autobuild runs.

I tested it by running nethack under root on slugosbe, not familar
with the game (I know I missed a lot of the fun), it seems to work.

Under normal user, there's some folder permission problem that needs
to be ironed out later.

Cheers,

-Brian

I changed the files and directories to read/write for everyone.

So you can play the game as normal user (and cheat as well)!

A better solution is to create a group (e.g. games) and make
the program sgid games.

But adding groups to the slug has it's own problems.

Hi, I had a power cut the other night and when I woke my NSLU2 wasn't
on. So, it doesn't auto restart, which could be a pain when I'm away
on holiday and want to access my files.

Has anyone resolved this, or is it just a 'feature' of the box which
can't be altered?

Thanks

Because Linksys had special code in the scsi driver which programmed the
leds according to disk insertion and removal.  This code is specific to
the 2.4 kernel.

There is no such code in the 2.6 kernel, and no-one has taken the time
to write such code yet.

There is also not a good description of what such code should do in the
face of multiple drives behind usb hubs on both ports ...

Please read the FAQ before posting.  Also please re-read the rules on
the front page of the web site - you've broken rule #2 with this post.

The first answer in the hardware section is what you are looking for.

The syslog messages you are seeing are from the kernel as it attempts to
search for free physical RAM. They are normal and are caused by
processes requesting more physical memory than is available. The kernel
will try to swap inactive processes out to free up memory but sometimes
it cannot so it will kill the process.
You should know that rtorrent is _VERY_ memory intensive. Just 1 or 2
torrents being downloaded will take 10MB or more of memory. If there are
any other processes they you may be running out of memory. In fact for
just terminal based program rtorrent used a lot of resources.

I would suggest stopping all processes when you are running rtorrent.
You mention that you are only running sshd, screen and rtorrent but do a
'ps -ef' and make sure the other processes that can be stopped are.

Well, I've read the nslu2-linux pages a lot. I couldn't remember off hand
having seen this issue raised. I did a search of all the messages saved in
my gmail account.

I've just taken a look at the yahoo web page and can't see a FAQ link.

So, maybe a point to all "the rules" I've broken please, if you going to
quote them, you might want to let me know where they are for the future.

There is no need to be offended.  The nslu2-linux rules are there so
that questions which are already answered by the FAQ don't waste the
time of the other 7500+ subscribers on these nslu2 lists.  Reading the
FAQ associated with a project before posting to a mailing list is
standard practice.


If you look at http://www.nslu2-linux.org, you will see the community
rules listed clearly near the top centre of the page (after the quote
from Linksys).  I'll repeat them here:

1/ Never *ever* use the Linksys EraseAll tool - it will brick your slug
permanently.

2/ You will search the wiki first here and read the FAQ before asking
questions.

3/ You must read and follow the steps in the README file precisely when
flashing firmware.

4/ Those who ask the questions, update the wiki when they get the answers.

5/ Those who complain about the documentation, update the wiki to make
it better.

6/ Friends don't let friends flash custom firmware without confirmed
RedBoot Upgrade Mode access.

7/ Friends don't let friends flash custom bootloaders without confirmed
JTAG access.

A link to the FAQ is clearly listed at the top of the left sidebar.


The description for the nslu2-general Yahoo group previously said:

"All HowTo and Gettings Started information can be found in the NSLU2
wiki at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/"

I have updated it (as per your suggestion) to say:

"All FAQ, HowTo and Gettings Started information can be found in the
NSLU2 wiki at http://www.nslu2-linux.org/"

Hi,

I've been trying to install Jinzora all day with no luck. I have
installed Apache okay on port 8000 and PHP is also working correctly
(phpinfo file shows). I then visit the index.php in the Jinzora folder
and just receive a blank screen. I then installed MySQL (I had been
hoping to use SQLite instead) which returns an error.

# mysql -p
mysql: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.14:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Can anyone point me in a direction for getting Jinzora to work with
SQLite, also in correcting the MySQL error.

Thanks

Hi,

thanks for your reply. Indeed when those problems occured rtorrent was
running with about 45 torrents but only 9 of them were
downloading/uploading. Most of them were finished and just a few of them had
peers and were actually uploading. Also kernel modules for firewall and
denyhosts script are loaded all the time. I need to keep my torrents up and
talking to the tracker as this gives me priority for uploading which
improves my ratio ... etc. This situation is a minimum of stress on the Slug
because every now and then I need to unrar the data, make images and burn it
(for burning I have to shutdown rtorrent because otherwise the Slug resets).

So I was wondering if those page allocation failures happen because a system
call returns on a timer or the kernel just end up in a situation were it can
not push any more pages to the swap? Maybe there is a way to tell the kernel
to take his time ... or this is about all it can be done with a NSLU2?

Thanks,
Razvan

Hi,

I want to use my nslu2 as a torrent download station. I've installed
rtorrent and it works, except for the fact that it doesn't download or
upload anything (chunks of files are seen and I can see peers). I've
seen many other people are having this problem.

So I started using enhanced-ctorrent. The problem with
enhanced-ctorrent is that it just stops at a certain time.
And even if I set the options to stop seeding after a ratio of 1, it
stops when the download is complete.

I start ctorrent with the following options:

enhanced-ctorrent -C 4 -E 1 -e 72 file.torrent

Then it start checking and as you can see, the torrent is completed:

Already/Total: 687/687 (100%)
Listening on 0.0.0.0:2706

Download complete.
Total time used: 0 minutes.
Seed for other 72 hours or to ratio of 1.000000.

/ 0/0/0 [687/687/687] 0MB,0MB | 0,0K/s | 0,0K E:0,0 Connecting

But then it just quits...

I've read a lot of things about it and eventually I want to start
using rtorrent. Does anyone have is running on unslung 6.8? Or do I
have to install Debian?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I am using optware packages on a Synology DS106 station. Everything is
working fine except the net-snmp package : I can't start snmpd because
it dies with a segmentation fault.

It seems to be a known bug in net-snmp 5.3.0.1 :
http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/net-snmp-coders@lists.sourceforge.net/3993\
106.html

I have rebuilt the package using version 5.3.1 just by replacing

NET_SNMP_VERSION=5.3.0.1

by

NET_SNMP_VERSION=5.3.1

in net-snmp.mk and now everything works fine. So, would it be possible
to upgrade this package in the main repository ?

Thanks and regards.

I had the same problem, even some more problems (strange error
messages) with rtorrent. It's marked BAD on my list though looked
promising...

Yup, same thing here... Looked fine until it stopped working...

I dunno about that but I found transmissioncli (the command-line part
of the transmission torrent package) and it works flawlessly, if you
can get used with the limited information, statistics or features it
has. So far, on unslung 6.8, I used it for the last week (10 torrents
~ 20 GB of data) and it's just ok, not a single error, and it seems I
can live without the statistics. It also consumes VERY LITTLE memory
(rtorrent consumes much more). And it took me only half a Saturday to
make a simple webinterface in Perl for it :) (for those interested, I
can publish it as a demo, though I am not a programmer and it doesn't
look that great).

If there are people around that use other torrent clients
(succesfully) on unslung 6.8 beta, please answer on this thread, cause
I (and possibly more people) lost already too much time trying to make
rtorrent or ctorrent work and maybe you have other solutions.

I just installed this app to test if it installs and the index page
loads just fine for me.    I think that your problem is setting up the
file and folder permissions correctly for PHP apps.  The Wiki contains a
section on this with some scripts that you can run to set the owners and
permissions at the bottom of the web page :-

<http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/UseTheThttpdWebserver>

I hope that you report back with your progress with Jinzora because the
list of requirements seems far larger than the capabilities of the
NSLU2,  things such as setting the PHP memory limit to 32mbite.

I think I successfully reverted to V23R63 firmware after an
unsuccessful flash/unslinging of unslung 6.8. I used the manual entry
to upgrade mode and upgraded to V23R63 using upgrade_207_XP utility
program. All appeared to work satisfactorily. A new device appears on
my network as an unidentified device with an IP address of
192.168.0.105. It is not recognizable as an NSLU2 by my network or the
original NSLU2 installation CD utility. I can not access it via the
adress bar of my browser or by pinging 192.168.0.77, 192.168.1.77, or
192 168.0.105. I tried it both with and without my Norton 2007 firewall
enabled. I am an admitted network novice and may be missing something
simple. Can anyone help. I am stuck unless I can acess the
configuration page again. I may have mistakenly sent this post to the
discussion group. If so my apologies. I am reposting it here.
Thanks,
Mike

Folks,

   Please make sure that when you post to the mailing lists, that you take
care to identify the firmware to which yoiur question or issue applies (type
and release number, e.g. "Unslung 6.8", "Unslung 5.5", "OpenSlug 3.10",
etc.).  It's not always obvious from the question, and it very often makes a
huge difference in the answer.

Thanks,
Mike (mwester)

Thanks Robert

That did work nicely. I tried with SQLite but it comes back with ...

  " Backend Setup

Creating Database
     - jinzora2 - Successful!

could not connect to database."

I guess I'd prefer to get MySQL working. Any idea how to fix this error?

# mysql -p
mysql: error while loading shared libraries: libmysqlclient.so.14:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Oh .. uNSLUng 6.8 beta.

I am noticing that sometimes after a reboot on OpenSlug 3.10 Beta, my
WD 180GB HD is not recognized at all. I have to turn the USB enclosure
off and then on and off a few times and reboot the NSLU2 to get the
drive recognised. Does this look like my drive is about to die? Here's
a snipped of dmesg:

Yes, the USB2/FW enclosure (NexStar NST-350UF) is separately powered.

The hard drive has been in use with Unslung (various versions) for
about 2 years now. What do you think?

It looks like the information in Lances reply is not on the wiki (at
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/NativelyCompileUnslungPackages)  and I
see one of the rules is to update the wiki when new information is
dispersed.



If I could get some help on creating a non-root account for native
compilation, I would update the wiki! As you can see, when I log into the
siegfried account I tried to create for myself, it tells me that I don't
have access to /HOME. Can someone please help me understand what chmod or
chown commands I need to apply to the file user to rememdy this problem?



Thanks,

Siegfried

Happy New Year everyone!

I've been runnning Openslung for about a year, mainly to host
Twonkyvision as a music server. My current setup is an 80GB natively
formatted EXT3 drive on port1. I've unslung to this disk and it
holds my music and photos. I also have a 160GB EXT3 drive on port 2
that acts as a backup for the 80GB disk and my laptop hard drive.

My next project is to start streaming video, so I'm going to have to
increase the available storage space. One option is to use the 160GB
disk to replace the 80GB as my main drive and buy something like a
200GB drive as a backup drive. I don't really want to discard the
80GB for no reason and I'll probably want to increase space again in
the future, so I was thinking about getting a USB hub for port 1 and
unslinging to an EXT3 flash drive on port2. I understand that this
would mean that all drives attached to the hub would have to be NTFS.

I've seen a few comments that there are problems with using NTFS. I
know I'll lose the shares and access properties, which would be a
shame, but I've also heard that there are speed issues (and worse)
when the slug tries to access an NTFS drive. Is this true?

A third, low-tech, solution for my setup would be to use the slug
disks as they are connected now, but as my main storage and get a
separate external NTFS hard disk as my backup and just plug it into
my laptop when I want to backup. I'd only need to do this when I
added some new music or a new movie, so it wouldn't be such a great
hassle.

Any good advice on the most efficient way to increase the storage
space on a NSLU2 system?

Thanks

Simon

I have the exact same problem as yours!!! I called Linksys support twice and
they failed to help at all. One of them blamed me for not upgrading the
firmware properly, and ask "why are you upgrading it anyway??"

Don't bother to contact Linksys support. I recently purchased WRT54GC and
again their support failed miserabily. I will not purchase another Linksys
product, EVER. PERIOD.

I spent three hours last night trying to get help. It was even worse before
using the SerComm utility - The Linksys Setup Utility was not able to find
NSLU2 at all. Now that the Setup Utility can find the box, my plan is to
look for R29 firmware to downgrade my box. If anyone knows where I can find
a copy, please post the link here!

atrab12, please also keep me posted if you're making any progress!

Thanks Adrian,

I just gave up on it and started using btget with screen. It's not
nice, but at least it doesn't crash (after adding some more swap
space). I'll give Transmission a try (it was my last option, but I
didn't have much hope after all other clients just crashed)...
Maybe you can give us a look into your Perl code to see if we can use it?

Thanks a lot.

I am happily using enhanced-ctorrent with ctcs (the web front end) to
download torrent's on my unslung 6.8 beta slug.

When I run a torrent I don't normally use the extra commands to set
how long to seed etc, I just leave it to use the standard settings,
which I believe will automatically seed for 72 hours unless you say
otherwise.

The only problem I get every now and then is that a torrent won't end
when I tell it to from the CTCS web front end and I have to quit using
a command line option.

Basically, CTCS and enhanced-ctorrent was the only reliable way I
could get torrents downloading on my slug. I can happily leave it to
download 1 or 2 at a time.

Now if someone managed to work out how to get the program to
auto-queue torrent's from a specific folder that would be ace. I could
ditch my M$ Windowz Utorrent program for good :-)
