Hi,

I've got an FSG3 that I've upgraded to debian (etch first using
http://wpkg.org/Running_Debian_on_Freecom_FSG-3, then Lenny using
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/arm/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html#new\
kernel).  I seem, however, to still have the 2.6.20 kernel installed.  I need
the newer kernel for some of the new libertas wireless drivers.  I've tried the
instructions for upgrading the kernel (to linux-image-2.6.26-2-ixp4xx, installed
as per the lenny notes above), but this upgrade says (strongly) to update your
bootloader (which, of course, is redboot) to get it to use initramfs.  I don't
know how to do this and, though I've searched for information, I can't find out
how to configure redboot.

I did find some redboot-tools-0.7 from ubuntu, which look promising, but the
scripts are full of offsets in the flash and, without knowing what I'm doing,
really don't want to just run the scripts.

Is there anybody out there who can help?

Thanks in advance,

John Grange

Hello !

I simplified my BASH script to understand what's happing in my program.

This script works perfectly but not in crontab.
I verified full path of binaries ... I have no more ideas on what does not work.

Here is my script :

#!/opt/bin/bash

nail='/usr/bin/nail'
sleep='/bin/sleep'
echo='/bin/echo'

function mail_status ()
{
${sleep} 1
${echo} $1  $2 | ${nail} -s "Title_$1_$2" myemail@...;
#echo $? > /tmp/testestest_sendmail.txt
}

#### DEBUG TESTS ####

mail_status "Test" "succes";

Here is my crontab :

33 23 * * * /opt/bin/bash /tmp/testmail/send_mail.sh

What is not good in what I did ?
Can someone help, Please ?

Hello

I wasn't able to google the specyfic package:
optware/oleg/ cross platform stable version of transmission v 1.75
If someone has this archive and can upload it anyware I would be very grateful.
(I need this package and there is no older version to download on nslu2
feeds...)

Peter

I'm planning to buy myself a cheap laser printer for home, and I've found a HP
P1005 at a good price.  I want to set up a printserver on my slug, and share
printer on my home network.  There is no direct Cups compatibility for this
printer, but you can get Cups to print to this printer with a little effort. See
http://foo2xqx.rkkda.com/  Since the slug isn't as robust as some of the other
distros of Linux, does the slug have what is needed to do this.  Looks like all
I need is a compiler.  Thoughts?

I'm not active on the group anymore since I sold my SLUG long ago. Looks like
there was a bunch of messages sitting pending to be approved from November.

I'm looking for someone that wants to Moderate and approve pending messages for
the group (and someone to take over the group if they wish).

Send me an E-mail and we'll make the changes.

Thanks,
David Troesch

Thanks. I ended up installing one of the drives in to an older PC, connecting
the other with USB ( I should really invest in eSATA) and used the Parted Magic
live CD to first use clonezilla, then gparted to resize the new disk.

After that, I reconnected the drive and the slug was quite happy. At this time
everything seems to be working perfectly!

This is probably a bad thing .... saw one thing that of course led on to many
others. Where do you stop???

Saw this recently: http://www.cyberguys.com/product-details/?productid=36218
couldn't find any info on hacking it though :(

From the product page:
Share your external hard drive with your entire network--even the Internet if
you want--with the simple-to-setup Venus mini-NAS Adapter. It accepts any USB
2.0 drive and serves it to a 10/100 Ethernet network. Select the servers you
want to run--such as FTP, HTTP or SMB--connect the drive to the adapter, and
then connect the adapter to a network port.

Drive formats supported: FAT32, EXT2, EXT3
Server software: FTP, DHCP, SMB, print, BitTorrent

Through Amazon, appears that Hitachi is offering something similar:
http://www.amazon.com/Hitachi-SimpleNET-Portable-Dongle-SNET/dp/B002CMEIV6/ref=c\
m_cr_pr_pb_t/178-1681735-4150066. Doing a quick search looks like is promising
as far as hacking possibilities.

This also looks pretty cool ... http://bifferos.bizhat.com/

Do they still use 32bit mips CPU, LSB? If yes, existing optware

Hi all!
after installing debian on my slug and running for a week, yesterday I was
connecting in ssh to my slug and after 20 second it put me out....
grr and I can't reconnect.
So I've pushed the green button but nothing appened.
Keeping pushed also nothing...
damn

Unplugged and replugged the power cable, but now after a few minute I've only
"disk 1" light (where leave the USB stick with debian) on
and nothing more.

If I ping my slug it respond for 20-25 times and then no response for 100-150
times.


I don't know what I can do to resume it.


Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much.

Any takers?  I'm currently mod'ing the nslu2-linux group; so if nobody
has stepped up just assign the -general group to me as well.

Hi,

I try to install a minimal ubuntu (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/NSLU2) to my
NSLU2. I was able to upload the installer firmware

with upslug2 -i di-nslu2.bin

but I cannot start installation via ssh because I do not know the IP address of
NSLU2 device. The router is set to DHCP. Its software does not show the NSLU2
device in list of IP addresses (all other machines in network are listed).

I have tried to reflash with Linksys Firmware hoping that this will reset
network configuration
upslug2 -i ./NSLU2_V23R63.bin
and got OK to rebooting...done

However, I still do not see NSLU2 IP address in DHCP list. Could somebody guide
me on what shall I do to discover the IP address of the slug an continue with
ubuntu installation step?

Best regards,
Adorian

Hi!

I'm running slugos 5.3-beta, with kernel 2.6.27.8, on a NSLU2.
Accessing the machine via ssh or web works fine.
But I have some strange dns problems.
I can't ping hosts with by their names. But it works if I ping their ip-address.

What works: dig, host, nslookup, dnstrace, ping -4 <hostname>, ping <ip-address>
What don't work: ping <hostname>, websurf, ipkg install, etc

A workaround to the get ipkg to work was to enter its server
ip-address+hostname in to /etc/hosts.

Hi again,

I am glad that somebody took over the task of managing this group email list.

In the meantime, I have solved the problem. After re-reflashing the slug, the ip
was visible in router list.

Ubuntu installation however failed. I have tried installation several times, but
eventually I've switched to SlugOS/BE (which installed flawless).

Best regards,
Adorian

Can anyone tell me how to install netpbm?
I am running slugos and have the optware feed too...
?
Thanks!

I use spawn in /opt/etc/hosts.allow.

In messages log file i receive:
  warning: /opt/etc/hosts.allow, line 4: open /dev/null: Is a directory

Source of tcpwrappers (shell_cmd.c):
  if (open("/dev/null", 2) != 0) {
	 error = "open /dev/null: %m";
  }

Can anyone point me to a scanbuttond binary / ipkg or how to install for
SlugOS?
I installed sane backend for my scanner, and would like to work on getting
the buttons working...

Hi,

I recently flashed my NSLU2 with Unslung 6.10-beta, this went otherwise
smoothly, but NSLU lost the disks occationally after reboot (same problem with
USB HDD or USB flash).

Next I flashed it with SlugOS/LE, which worked otherwise fine but still lost the
disk every now and then, not necessarily in reboot but when disconnecting the
power. After few days NSLU started to get stuck in boot, not always but usually
started after few tries. When stuck it did not respond to power button or reset
switch, so the only way was to disconnect the power. When started the kernel
logs (with dmesg) indicated some problems with USB (hub found but no ports
detected) and it was not possible to mount USB disks.

Then yesteraday I decided to try the ResetSysConf trick as it had helped someone
with a problem with similar symptoms. This made the thing only worse, now NSLU
starts to boot but gets stuck after a while. I have tried now with Linksys
original FW, SlugOS and Unslung with pretty much the same result.

Next step was to add the serial port, and the boot log reveals that there is
some problem, probably with USB causing the freezing
The last 3 lines of the boot log are:

usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
!!!abort_handler addr = 0xb7fe5f5d, isr = 0x3, status = 0xb2a0
!!!abort_handler addr = 0xb7fe5f5d, isr = 0x3, status = 0x22a0

Any suggestions how to proceed or should I just give up and try
to find a new NSLU? Anyone having had similar problems?
My NSLU is manufactured 1/2008.

It's not a software/firmware issue.  But before you toss the unit out,
try replacing the power supply -- there are many who have reported
similar sorts of issues caused by weak or failing PSUs.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately it seems that PSU is not
the culprit. After reading the discussions, one of the first
things I tried was to try with a 5 V DC supplied by a large stabilized
PSU, with similar results.

Actually I already got a new NSLU, a local shop had few of them
on shelf with dirty price of 81 EUR. The new one is manufactured
09/2008 and has so far been running with SlugOS as expected.

Still, any suggestions on my problem with the first one are
very welcome!

Hi All,

I am currently running slugos 5.3be on my NSLU2, and i was hoping to get NTFS
drives to automount with NTFS-3g.

I have install NTFS-3g ok, and i can manaully mount the drives, but i cannot get
them to automount.

I have tried following the automountntfs from the slugos wiki, but it says to
patch mounts.sh, when i try to do that i get a couple of errors...

i was wondering if anyone has a mounts.sh file that will work for me, or any
tips in successfully patching my mounts.sh file.

thanks in advance.

Hi all, and a Happy new year!

After a couple of years of continuos good behaviour as a backup system, after a
shutdown I had to do for cleaning, the slug does not want to boot anymore!
It is configured with a flash usb on disk1 with the OS and a USB 500GB SATA
drive on Disk2.

When I push the power button, the ready/status light coes on and then, after
about 2 seconds, the ethernet light flashes and suddenly everything turns off.

Disk is ok, flash is ok (already tried with other PC) but anyway the same is
without disk and also without the USB flash drive.

Any Hint?
I'm pretty desperate.

Hi, Mike!

It's a very kind of you. Anyway, after a deep investigation I have
been told by the real owner, a customer of mine, that there had been a
power supply spike during last sunday.

Indeed the 5V power supply, the NSLU2 itself and probably the USB Flas
also have been burned, I think irreparably.
Only changing all the three I got a working device again.



Again a Happy Hew Year to you all!

Please help us help you -- what firmware do you have installed, and what
version of that firmware?

Hi, folks:

I just finished a round of fixes to my Slug, and making a round of wiki
contributions with the lessons I learned.

I see that the wiki page Optware/Vsftpd is protected by a different password
than the other pages. I understand why this happened; it was the victim of a
spam attack in 2006.  However, a certain amount of time has passed. More
importantly, new information has begun piling up in a supplemental page,
Optware/Vsftpd-FTP, because the contributors couldn't edit Vsftpd.

Could a wiki administrator perhaps return Optware/Vsftpd to the usual password?
Then at some point I or someone can fold in Vsftpd-FTP and we'll be back to one
page.

Thanks!

Hi, Sorry,
This is the wiki link
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AutoMountNTFSDrives

And the errors i got, the first one was bad.src which i believe means bad source
file (although the dates etc matched the ones at top of the patch), and the
second time was a error at line 15. But i wasnt sure if that was line 15 of the
patch or line 15 of mounts.sh

Im quite new to linux, so i dont even know if i was trying to apply the patch in
the correct way, so even if someone could give me a breakdown of how to apply
the patch, i could go back... try it and report back again.

Thanks for any help.

Normally you would cut and paste to create a patch file from the text in
the wiki article, then use the patch command to apply it... but in this
case, I'd just use a text editor to apply the patch manually.  I'm not
in a position to test anything right now, so I can't tell you exactly
what/how to do this.

Also, I'm not exactly sure what SlugOS release this is for - hopefully
it will work for the latest one.  Make sure that the context (around the
"+" and "-" lines in the patch) match up correctly.

PS: I should note that the automount feature will be removed in the next
SlugOS release entirely.  It causes more problems than it solves...
