[nslu2-linux] Re: apache - openssl installation

 

The package has been rebuilt and the latest version is 0.9.7m-6. Please do "ipkg update" and retry.

[nslu2-linux] ipkg update reports "file too short"

 

Hi all,

I have a GoFlex Home, which is based upon the OpenStora system, which uses ipkg
for package management:
http://www.openstora.com/wiki/index.php?title=Getting_Started#Preparing_to_insta\
ll_software_and_checking_free_space


So I followed the instructions for moving /opt (I moved it to /mnt/eSata/opt)
and have been installing packages.

I cancelled an install process of ipkg and now it reports:

bash-3.2# /opt/bin/ipkg update
/opt/bin/ipkg: error while loading shared libraries: /opt/lib/libipkg.so.0: file
too short

The only way to get around this seems to be a reinstall of ipkg. That's
annoying...

Help?

- Phil

[nslu2-linux] Re: unslung and UTF-8 character encoding

 

Made a cross compile machine and built it myself

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/60363804/nls_utf8.o

copy to lib\modules\2.4.22-xfs\kernel\fs\nls

and insmod nls_utf8

Setup Putty or whatever you use to UTF-8 and select a font with greek
characters.

I would really also like this.

I guess we need someone to compile the module

kernel-module-nls-utf

for unslung 2.4.22.l2.3r63-r21

for us to able to read greek characters from cli.

Thanks

[nslu2-linux] Re: unslung and UTF-8 character encoding

 

Hi Vassili,
thanks for your tip.But I am not talking about samba. I am trying to synch my source codes from my office to my unslung machine at home.

unslung svn <---- > office sources svn.

Only the "default" english characters are shown and the svn proccess hangs with the greek file names.

Thanks anyway.

Re: [nslu2-linux] unslung and UTF-8 character encoding

 

Γεια σου Irakli,

I had similar problems in the past with the Greek filenames.  I solved them by adding the following lines to the user_smb.conf file.

/etc/samba/user_smb.conf

      unix charset = UTF8
      dos charset = UTF8
      display charset = UTF8

Then you make it yourself. This is GNU/Linux.

With FOSS the only limits are the ones that you arbitrarily place upon yourself.

Finally, I got the issue fixed. I created a .bash_profile in my HOME-directory with the necessary lines for modifying the PATH environment and had it sourced by /etc/profile. Now everything works fine, for the time being.

I'd like to disagree with you. I do think that it is a Debian issue also, not only Tex's fault. TexLive packages provided by Debian are missing certain stuff and in this case I need that. Otherwise I don't have a problem with Debian's tex. Even the version 2011 from Debian unstable is not complete. I'd say I could tinker around with Debian's package management as much as I want, if it is not in the repositories what I want I won't get it that way. That's why I had to install TexLive 2011 manually.

Some of this, sections 8-12, read correctly, applies to you as well:

I'm not going to tell you what you should do regarding your TeX dilemma, or even suggest it, but I do recommend you completely familiarize yourself with all pertinent information before you go ignoring everything, and carving out your own path.

The more you know, the more you Debianize.

Yes I have. Indeed I updated my TexLive to the Debian unstable version, but still crucial packages are missing. It also lacks TexLive package manager "tlmgr" for updating which is the recommended way instead of using apt-get or aptitude.

Re: [nslu2-linux] Looking for replacement AC adaptor

 

Mind that some power supplies have a max current and a minimal current.

If the max current is significantly larger that the one of the official power supply (which now I don't recall) you have more chances that the NSLU2 without or even with load (HD)
won't draw enough power to keep the replacement power supply active.

It happened to me: I had to disable the low-power mode of my USB HD (as I was too lazy to solder a resistor on the supply cable).

Ettore

If the nominal max current is much larger than the one actually

2012/4/15 Jimmy C. Chau <chaujc@gmail.com>
 

Just to clarify, you don't need to match the max current; the max
current of the power supply just needs to be at least as large (as the
max current of the NSLU2 or the original power supply).

When replacing power supplies, check that:
- the plug matches,
- the polarity matches (whether the center is + or -, this is usually
indicated in symbol form),
- the output voltage is identical,
- the output current rating of the power supply is larger than the
current rating of the load (in this case, the NSLU2),
- and that the power supply is compatible with your wall power (if
you're buying the power supply domestically, this last point is
probably true).

Best regards,
-Jimmy

Have you looked in Debian unstable for texlive 2011?

http://packages.debian.org/sid/texlive

Package: texlive (2011.20120410-1)

Installing it might be your cleanest solution.

Sometimes it isn't the answers but the questions that matter.
