[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

**gixie** · 02-02-2008, 14:42

Thank you wengi for your quick reply...
I tried again this morning and I got the same errors
On the other hand accessing this from a web browser would actually download the packages...
My question is, can't I just download everything locally and take it from there?
If so, could you be so kind as to explain me how...please
Thanks in advance

hello .. my problem is that the

/usr/local/sbin/post-boot

containing line mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /tmp/harddisk

like in tutorial (4b. Startup-scripts). should i put some more sleep command there ? that the system could mount that space of hdd right after reboot ?

after reboot router is not mounting the hdd to that temp place . i have to umont it my self and mount it again . after that the hdd partition is working perfectly .
what could be the problem that the post boot is not mounting right ? i dont want to do it manualy after reboot .

now after system reboots . there is /tmp/harddisk but read only . and behaving very slowly in samba . after manual umont and mount it is working perfectly ..

how come ?? :-)

.. using version version 1.9.2.7-7g in 500g premium

df command looks like this after reboot

Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs 2880 2880 0 100% /
/dev/root 2880 2880 0 100% /
/dev/discs/disc0/part2
988244 95120 842924 11% /opt
/dev/discs/disc0/part1
29280176 2768 29277408 1% /tmp/harddisk

how come that the part 1 is mounting as /tmp/harddisk .. and it should be part3 ??
where could i find this command ? my /usr/local/sbin/post-boot looks like this

#!/bin/sh
dropbear
if [ ! -d /dev/discs ]
then
insmod scsi_mod && insmod sd_mod && insmod usb-storage && sleep 5s
fi

#Wait for /opt to mount
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /opt
i=0
while [ $i -le 30 ]
do
if [ -d /opt/etc ]
then
break
fi
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /tmp/harddisk

# Activate swap
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part1

# Run all active services - active means starts with S
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung

????????

Hi wengi,

A question... when you enter the following commands where should you be? My prompt looks like this

[admin@(none) root]$
I'm talking about these commands...
ipkg install logrotate
ipkg install gnuplot #(there are many dependencies. This will take some time)
ipkg install libbt
ipkg install transmission

**wengi** · 03-02-2008, 10:30

Hi,

sorry, not that much time...

@gixie:
check the inet connection, DNS and routing. Try to ping ipkg.nslu2-linux.org. It think there is something buggy with the settings in the router. Otherwise install lynx manually (see the commangs of th ipkg installation itself. Simply use the downloaded filename instead of the package name). What does "ipkg update" result in?

@maxo777
is your swap (part1) active? Try 'free' to see this.

it's great to have such a comprehensive tutorial to follow. however, I've the problems in opening the web interface for samba2 & transmission, i.e. 192.168.1.1:901 etc. failed to open any web interface.

i am using the latest oleg firmware and followed the tutorial upto transmission & samba2.

could anybody tell me what the problem is?

many thx!!!

**raas** · 24-02-2008, 09:29

Hi,

check if the service is running (with 'top' or 'ps axf'). (processes like smbd should be there.)
If they are not running, try to run your post-boot file manually and see if errors pop up.

If you still have your standard ip-address it should work, otherwise, check in the following files if your ip-range is valid for samba. /opt/etc/samba/smb.conf and /opt/etc/xinetd.d/swat

HTH

**dolpli** · 24-02-2008, 09:48

raas, many thx. for your reply

it appears that samba & transmission are not running if i use the 'top' command.

my post-boot file is as follows:

#!/bin/sh
dropbear

# test if USB disc has been attached
# if not - then insert needed modules
#
# uncoment the following 4 lines if using an USB HDD.
if [ ! -d /dev/discs ]
then
insmod scsi_mod && insmod sd_mod && insmod usb-storage && sleep 5s
fi

#Wait for /opt to mount
mount /dev/discs/disc0/part2 /opt
i=0
while [ $i -le 30 ]
do
if [ -d /opt/etc ]
then
break
fi
sleep 1
i=`expr $i + 1`
done

mount /dev/discs/disc0/part3 /tmp/harddisk

# Activate swap
swapon /dev/discs/disc0/part1

# Run all active services - active means starts with S
/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung

Is there sth. missing

sorri that i dun know much about linux...many thx. for your kind assistance.

**wengi** · 24-02-2008, 11:08

Hi,

post-boot seems ok.

try to run "/opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung" manualy.
Any errors?
Is the file executable?

Please post the result of "ls -lah /opt/etc/init.d/"

[admin@(none) root]$ /opt/etc/init.d/rc.unslung

tnx for the help

**wengi** · 25-02-2008, 15:41

Hi,

sorry, the -lah option was wrong i think.
simply do a "ls /opt/etc/init.d/" and post the result here.
Also post result of "ps" or "ps axf" (depending if core utils are installed)

Hi,

This is a total shot in the dark and correct me if I'm wrong,
but do these services need a 'hostname' in order to function properly?

I'm asking this because I saw a

Code:

[admin@(none) root]

in your code
The '(none)' means, no hostname is available.

I could be wrong, but give it a shot.

**wengi** · 26-02-2008, 07:52

Hi,

transmission and samba are running:

Code:

148 admin 420 S /usr/sbin/busybox_httpd -c /opt/etc/httpd.conf -p 800
156 admin 1292 S /opt/sbin/smbd -D
158 admin 1196 S /opt/sbin/nmbd -D

btu the fulll http-line of ps should be:

Code:

/usr/sbin/busybox_httpd -c /opt/etc/httpd.conf -p 8008 -h /opt/share/www

Maybe this was only a putty thing...

I recommend defining a hostname (in webinterface)

Swat is not reachable because xinetd is not running!
Check if /opt/etc/init.d/S10xinetd is executable and the content is the right one.

And by the way: dvirt = dolpli?
