Hi,

I have tried contacting the maintainer for the Transmission package for TS101
from here: http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ts101/cross/unstable/

however the email address bounces back. I tried on IRC group and the advice was
to try post here. Does anyone know if anyone is maintaining? There is an issue
since version 1.76 that make it not work, all torrent constantly fail hash
check.

Please contact me. There is a trac ID here discussing the issue:

http://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/2858

Absolutely, so this is just a temporary fix. I don't know how long the mirror I
have used has been up, nor how long it will remain up. If people make sure that
they comment out (rather than delete) the original repositories in the .conf
files then they can easily revert to them at any time.

I'm glad it's not just me; tried to update my elderly NSLU2 this morning for
the first time in ages, and found the same repository problems. The ipk
files seem to redirect on the server, but the redirect goes to a nonexistent
file. It's the same feed I've been using for some years; I've not changed
any of the ipkg configuration...

I am a user on nslu2, pogoplug, and dockstar platforms and am pretty happy with
the optware packages provided with nslu2-linux.org.  For the pogoplug/dockstar
platforms, I initially used setup from openpogo with their repo which is just
from http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/stable.  They
are discontining optware support and I was wondering if
pogoplug/dockstar/sheevaplug could be added to Optware Targets or Other Hardware
on nslu2-linux.org.  I have already changed my /opt/ipkg/armel-feed.conf to look
at http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/stable instead of
http://openpogo.com/repo.

Well, I'll post this for future reference if anybody is interested / searching.

Picked up a pair of Vantec NST-360SU enclosures and so far are 100% compatible.

Hi,

Just back in on the nslu2 stuff. Tried openslug, and quickly went back
to unslung. Just a little concerned with the 404 class failures.
Should I add an extra repository? It seems that the main repository is
a little empty.

Yes, I have ipkg update'd ...

Is this NSLU stuff dying a long slow death?!

Hello,
I am not an expert by any means but there does not seem to be a slugos4be
anymore, there is a slugos5be.  There are two choices, stable and unstable, here
is the stable:
http://ipkg2.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/slugos5be/cross/stable/
I guess you can try this on your ipkg.con
For the unstable, make the appropriate change.  I am also getting responses from
my posts.

Going through the documention on the NSLU2 site, I have discovered a few holes,
especially pertaining to the process of flashing a new kernel.

For one instance, when rescuing a system by using the installer, one must
reflash.  I kept getting an error 'flash-kernel: 127: #### Killed dd if=$ifile
of=$tmp ibs=$(($imtdsize - 16)) conv=sync 2> /dev/null', and I finally found the
reason - out of memory.  A simple swapon -a from within the chroot environment
took care of that, but I wasted a few hours on it...

Anyway, that's all I have for now.

NSLU2, overclocked, fattened up, with internal flash, wireless, and bluetooth. 
Not sure what to do with it yet... ;)

Hi all,

Who should I approach to request an update of an Ipkg? In particular, Mediatomb.
The current version is 0.12.1, versus the 0.11-something in the Ipkg
directories.

Thanks,
Nik

I have an elderly Psion netBook (the original, the one that coined the
name). It does run Linux, but the kernel is rather old --- 2.4.27 ---
and as a result no available Debian will work on it. (There is no 2.6 port.)

There is, however, an extremely minimal and rather hacked ipkg root
filesystem available for it. It was originally based on the OpenZaurus
ipkg feed, but openzaurus.org is now dead.

Does anyone know where I might be able to find an ipkg feed for a
compatible device whose software will run on my netBook?

I haven't turned on my nslu2 in over a year. I'm at V2.3R63-uNSLUng-6.8-beta.
what do I need to do to get current?

Wanted to update to latest dchp for unslung, but the repository seems broken.

ipkg download says "Package dhcp (parent dhcp) is not available from any
configured src."

Browsing to http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/cross/ shows
dhcp-4.1.1-P1-1_armeb.ipk exitsts. But attempting to download gives file not
found.

So does wget from the slug...

Hi Brian,

That works for me too.  The difference is that you have /stable/ in the url, but
the web page I quoted "http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/unslung/cross/"
doesn't... looks like everything on that page needs to be corrected...

Thanks for the corrected pointer.

Hi,

If the pid file exists, dhcpd can't start.
I put a patch which adds a delete before starting dhcpd and increments the ipk
version: http://pastebin.org/166528

Added some pages to the wiki for plug computers at Optware.PlugComputers and
Main.Plugcomputers for pogoplug and dockstar platform.  I wanted to place a link

way to get the password or have somebody place the link for me?

I've heard from him, quite recently in fact.  Apparently, Mr. Westerhof
has been unable to keep up with his email, a situation that is unlikely
to change anytime real soon.  His job, it seems, requires constant
travel, international borders, and draconian firewalls, all of which
conspire to ensure that he is completely unable to work on anything
hobby-related during the week (and inexplicably, he seems to feel that
the few hours each weekend he has free should be spent with his family
rather than his hobby).

He's optimistic that this situation will change -- someday (assuming
that the US economy corrects, and that the central US ceases its
headlong rush to regress to an agricultural economy).

Until then, his appearances on IRC or email will be sporadic at best.

He also wishes to note that SlugOS is not dead, merely hibernating.  And
thanks to the efforts of folks like Khem Raj and Frans Meulenbroeks,
SlugOS remains buildable as a distribution in the ever-changing
OpenEmbedded build environment.

Happy NSLU2-ing.

Hello,

after years of work my slug based nfs server broke down.

Therefore I installed "SlugOS/BE 5.3 Beta (NSLU2)" on a new stick.

When trying to install and configure an nfs server, I wanted to get package
"nfs-utils".

But it is not available any more, neiter with opkg nor with ipkg-opt.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Rigas

It seems that the nfs-utils package does exist, but my opkg update mechanism
does not work. I cannot get the package list unpacked on my slug.

Any ideas?

Rigas

What repository is your opkg pointed to? (the actual line listed).

Hello,

problem solved.
I reinstalled SlogOS/BE 5.3 on the stick as described in the great Howto.
This time opkg listed all packages, that I need.

nfs is up and running.

I did not install ipkg-opt, because opkg has everything that I need: thttpd,
nfs, ssh.

Thanx,

Rigas

Hi folks,
   I just bought one of these off of eBay to use for backing up my XP machine for
some high priority files daily (legal stuff).  So far I have not been able to
get things to go.  I think what I need is that manual that should have shipped
with the box instead of the thing that comes on the CD.  Can someone post a link
to something like a wiki on setting up the default software (V2.3R63)?
Best Wishes,

You can get the original documentation and firmware from here:

I'm trying to set up a RAID 1 array on my slug, something I did before
with another slug.  For some reason that I can't seem to figure out, on
a reboot the slug keeps mounting /dev/sda3 as ext3. Only it isn't ext3.

I formatted the partition as ext3 a long time ago, but I've deleted the
partition I don't know how many times and it still keeps being
recognized as ext3, which is making it impossible to assemble a RAID
array.

I followed this guide here (which worked great in the past):
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/RAID1OnSlugOS

I'm totally stumped - any ideas?
