[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[WhiteAss]

I didn't follow the whole tut.


I didn't format the hdd in the same way, but I've made partitions:
swap (ca 500mb)
programs (/opt, ca 500mb, ext3)
data (tmp/harddisk/part1,ext3)
data (tmp/harddisk/part2, ntfs, some data that I want on ntfs)

I use the startup script (4b) with some chances in the mounting part

didn't do:
4a. partition and format HDD
7. Tools (optional)
8. CRON
9. TRANSMISSION (want to use samba 1th maybe later)
9b. Change Syslog settings
Didn't go further then this jet.

edit:
1. run /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba and post result

[admin@WL500gp root]$ /opt/etc/init.d/S80samba
Starting smbd:
Starting nmbd:
[admin@WL500gp root]$

2. post output of "ps axf"

[admin@WL500gp root]$ ps axf
BusyBox v1.1.3 (2007.01.01-14:37+0000) multi-call binary

Usage: ps

[admin@WL500gp root]$

3. post the latest content of the log: /opt/var/log/messages
I don't have a log "messages" at that location. I do have a dir named "samba" and in this dir a file log.smbd
latest content of this log is:

[2007/09/24 22:09:14, 0] source/smbd/server.c:main(835)
standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option
[2007/09/26 00:19:00, 0] source/smbd/server.c:main(835)
standard input is not a socket, assuming -D option
[2007/09/26 00:19:13, 0] source/smbd/server.c:main(835)

edit2
maybe also helpful:
found another logfile /opt/var/samba/nmbd
last part is

Hi,

"ps axf" will not work. Post result of a simple "ps".
"ps" will show you the running processes. There should be s- and nmbd.

Also make sure that samba in the original webinterface is DISabled.

Do the following:
- Disable Samba in Webinterface (if it isn't already)
- reboot router
- post result of "ps"

WhiteAss, you should read my tutorial for a working Samba3.

However... to see the processes, type:
ps (if you don't have 7. Tools (optional))

Or:
ps aux
ps -ef
if you installed 7. Tools (optional).

[WhiteAss]

I'm trying to install samba on the way explained by arise for the moment.

will post my questions over there.

edit:
Came back on this.

after folowing the tut of arise my router didn't work so good anymore.

Will follow this tut again from the begin (exept for the fdisk/fromat part)

[WhiteAss]

I began from scratch again

I can conf the standard samba which is there wit the oleg firmware.

149 admin 892 S /usr/sbin/smbd -D
151 admin 964 S /usr/sbin/nmbd -D

This is v1.x (don't know the exact version)

I want to use the web interface (swat) so I'v to install samba2.

When I install samba 2 (the one in this tut) I can use the web interface but samba doesn't work then (even without the web interface an with the same conf as samba 1)

smbd and smbd just won't run and I can't find out what is wrong.

[wengi]

So the fun starts again:

try to start manually and give us the logs....
i need input

wengi

PS: I am on vacation from thursday on. We need to solve this quickly or anyone else has to help you.

[sven7]

I am using SAMBA 2 but not working good on chinese character file name (both samba2 and vsftp). I read the article in here saying need Samba 3

http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Samba

But some artical saying need a codepage.....

I search this for long but still can't find the exit.... Any good people can help please : <

9. TRANSMISSION (The torrent Client)

Transmission works really strange

when i open http://192.168.1.1:8080/cgi-bin/transmission.cgi i get

syslog: /opt/var/log/messages unavailable for transfer stats!

although I did everything just like in howto

when i click watchdog i get

/opt/sbin/transmission_watchdog: kill: 306: (524) - Operation not permitted grep: /tmp/harddisk/torrent/work/my.torrent/.status: No such file or directory

when i select torrent in list and click push i get

transmission.cgi: kill: 9: (524) - Operation not permitted

Any ideas?

Update 1

Right after restart transmission_watchdog doesn't appear.
If it's started manually i get a lot of instatnces

  183 admin       468 S   upnp -D -L br0 -W vlan1
  214 admin      1696 S   transmissiond -p 65534 -w 300 -u -1 -d -1 -i /opt/var/run/transmission.pid /tmp/harddisk/torrent/active-torrents.txt

  220 admin      1700 R   transmissiond -p 65534 -w 300 -u -1 -d -1 -i /opt/var/run/transmission.pid /tmp/harddisk/torrent/active-torrents.txt
  222 admin       412 R   ps

Does it matter?

[wengi]

Hi,

transmission is not started directly after restart. It normaly depends on the cron entry. E.g. if the watchdog is started hourly, transmission will be started the next full hour after thr reboot.

If you want to start it directly after the reboot: Add transmission_watchdog to your post-boot.

There are always multiple instances of transmission running.
This is normal.

For the errors: try another torrent. Maybe the file was damaged. How do you copy the torrents? wget in ssh / ftp / samba? I normaly use wget in ssh session.

wengi

PS: please edit your post and delete the torrent name or use a legal torrent.

don't know what was the problem. I just did everything by your guide from the start and it worked - first time I combined yours and olegI's.

And I was a dumb at linux - now situation improved.

Thanks for your great manual. What about putting it into wiki?

[wengi]

Good to know its working now

So, I've created the pair of keys for automatic login.

Then I run

vi /usr/local/root/.ssh/authorized_keys

and right click of my mouse in order to paste text in the putty window.

Then I pressed exactly the next keys:

[Esc]
:wq!
[Enter]

... and I tried to login and didn't worked as expected.

Found out later in Midnight Commander viewer that the first later from "ssh-rsa ..." was missing and I had only "sh-rsa ...".

I've added the missing "s" and it worked like a charm.

Don't know if it's my problem (I'm a stupid user sometimes ) or is a bug or something. Just in case anyone gets in the same problem as me...
