| [00:33] | <crweb> | shaunm: I got all of the current firmware software, samba NAS support, AND qt4 all into the firmware |
| [00:33] | <crweb> | oops |
| [00:33] | <crweb> | I got all of the current firmware software, samba NAS support, AND qt4 all into the firmware |
| [00:33] | <crweb> | that wasn't to anyone |
| [00:43] | <_3oo3_Homework> | hey folks |
| [00:43] | <_3oo3_Homework> | where am I exactly? lol |
| [00:43] | <_3oo3_Homework> | was looking for a tech related entrepreneurial discussion |
| [00:47] | <_3oo3_Homework> | hey iswm |
| [00:47] | <iswm> | Hey |
| [01:00] | <_3oo3_Homework> | iswm...where am I exactly ^_^ |
| [01:00] | <iswm> | #neuros would be my guess |
| [01:02] | <_3oo3_Homework> | yeah, but whats it for? I'm blind of the context hahah....was looking for a tech-related entrepreneurship subject matter |
| [01:07] | <daurn> | ... |
| [01:07] | <daurn> | google for neuros |
| [01:09] | <_3oo3_Homework> | i see....OSS |
| [01:10] | <_3oo3_Homework> | hrm...no mission statement? |
| [01:10] | <daurn> | ? |
| [01:19] | <jwu> | crweb: I am busy in the 3.1 release sorry to delay the new network support |
| [04:18] | <crweb> | Everyone, I'm going to be out for a while. I can be contacted on the ML, or tom@limesg.com |
| [04:20] | <crweb> | see you all next meeting probably |
| [04:24] | <chreekat> | k |
| [18:28] | <JoeXBorn> | hi all |
| [18:40] | <chreekat> | JoeBorn: why is it that you have 4 or 5 nicks that seem to be dancing with each other? |
| [18:40] | <chreekat> | hehe |
| [18:40] | <chreekat> | 1 or 2 waltz in while a couple others waltz out, etc. |
| [18:40] | * JoeBorn does tango with myself | |
| [18:41] | * JoeBorn breaks into song "and if I had the chance, I'd ask a woman to dance, and not be dancing with myself.." | |
| [18:41] | <chreekat> | haha |
| [19:06] | <JoeBorn> | okey dokey, I've got a cup of coffee, I have wired the laptop and OSD to ethernet and the house is quiet, time to try hacking the duck once again! |
| [19:09] | * JoeBorn gets distracted quickly by shiny object on floor | |
| [19:17] | <JoeBorn> | crweb, you around? |
| [19:17] | <JoeBorn> | hellwolf, ni hao! |
| [19:18] | <hellwolf> | JoeBorn, hi :) |
| [19:21] | <JoeBorn> | I've got my vm running, it appears to have two ethernet connections, and then there's the one for the real ethernet port. |
| [19:35] | <JoeBorn> | this part of the wiki documentation is pretty sparse |
| [19:42] | <sourcerror> | oeBorn: FYI... crweb wrote "Everyone, I'm going to be out for a while. I can be contacted on the ML, or tom@limesg.com. see you all next meeting probably" |
| [19:42] | <sourcerror> | JoeBorn: FYI... crweb wrote "Everyone, I'm going to be out for a while. I can be contacted on the ML, or tom@limesg.com. see you all next meeting probably" |
| [19:46] | <JoeBorn> | ahh |
| [19:57] | <JoeBorn> | sourcerror, do you know the networking stuff on the vm? |
| [19:59] | <sourcerror> | I have not tried to use the VM for server stuff (e.g. TFTP server, or NFS server). I had some network connectivity issue and I know the work around for that if you are seeing that. |
| [20:03] | <sourcerror> | JoeBorn: what was it you were going to try? is it that you don't have network connectivity from the vm? |
| [20:06] | <JoeBorn> | well, let me poke around some more. I just wasnt sure how different the instuctions for NFS etc are for the VM, let me poke around with derobert's guide before I pester you all |
| [20:07] | <Xorlev> | a VM can be used if you assign the VM an IP through a bridged network adaptor. |
| [20:08] | <sourcerror> | JoeBorn: can you ping a machine on your network from the VM? |
| [20:09] | <sourcerror> | ...there is a quick fix if that is your issue. |
| [20:10] | <JoeBorn> | I can ping the OSD from the VM |
| [20:11] | <sourcerror> | ah. good! |
| [20:13] | <JoeBorn> | hi [g2] I'm thinking of setting up that NSLU2 |
| [20:13] | <JoeBorn> | any tips? |
| [20:13] | <[g2]> | JoeBorn what do you want it to do ? |
| [20:14] | <JoeBorn> | file server for OSD and file server for outside the house, it's going to be used at my house |
| [20:14] | <JoeBorn> | so SMB and FTP or SCP server I guess. |
| [20:14] | <[g2]> | you probably just want to run unslung |
| [20:15] | <[g2]> | that's the distro that replaces the nslu2 firmware and extens it some |
| [20:15] | <[g2]> | like for ssh/scp |
| [20:15] | <[g2]> | or you could put debian on it |
| [20:16] | <[g2]> | the would work too |
| [20:16] | <[g2]> | there's a debian sarge release |
| [20:16] | <JoeBorn> | my priorities are simplicity, hassle free setup :) |
| [20:18] | <[g2]> | I'd have to check the latest setup for debianslug |
| [20:18] | <[g2]> | I don't know if there's a full just flash this image setup or not |
| [20:25] | <JoeBorn> | unslug is the one you use/work on, no? |
| [20:27] | <[g2]> | JoeBorn I was the champion of OpenSlug the full firmware replacement :) |
| [20:28] | <[g2]> | just do the right thing and take over the full box |
| [20:28] | <[g2]> | this summer will be 3 years since the nslu2 shipped |
| [20:29] | <[g2]> | originally, they were using the busybox 0.62 and old 2.4 kernel and old glibc |
| [20:32] | <JoeBorn> | "take over the full box?" |
| [20:33] | <[g2]> | yeah |
| [20:34] | <[g2]> | I even tested the bootloader replacement |
| [20:34] | <[g2]> | then I went and had custom hw made that was soupped up |
| [20:36] | <[g2]> | JoeBorn slugos/le (debianslug) is 4.3 is in final qa right now |
| [20:36] | <JoeBorn> | no custom hardware for me :) |
| [20:37] | <JoeBorn> | I've got enough trouble in my life! |
| [20:38] | <[g2]> | :) |
| [20:39] | <JoeBorn> | I guess now that I can ping the OSD from the vm, I need to know how |
| [20:39] | <JoeBorn> | wiki.neurostechnology.com |
| [20:40] | <JoeBorn> | is different in the vm setup |
| [20:44] | <[g2]> | JoeBorn I've got a couple old nslu2s lying around |
| [20:46] | <JoeBorn> | well, I have one here, we can do a swap out if you're willing :) |
| [20:47] | <[g2]> | JoeBorn I'm looking to get rid of my nslu2s :) |
| [20:47] | <[g2]> | I've got my own hw and haven't touched them for like 1.5 years |
| [20:47] | <[g2]> | the nslu2's that is |
| [20:47] | <JoeBorn> | oh, ok. |
| [20:48] | <[g2]> | Linksys is shipping/about the ship the NAS200 which is the gigE big brother for $179 |
| [20:48] | <[g2]> | GigE and 2 user installed SATA drives |
| [20:50] | <[g2]> | hmmm... engadget says the street price might be $120 |
| [20:50] | <[g2]> | doh... scratch that price |
| [21:02] | <JoeBorn> | well, I'm confident the NSLU2 will be plenty for my meager needs. |
| [21:04] | <sumasuma> | g2: i have kurobox, which holds 750G with fedora on it, i also use it as a linux system too |
| [21:04] | <sumasuma> | costs $149 |
| [21:05] | <[g2]> | sumasuma nod and the network peformance is slow right ? |
| [21:05] | <[g2]> | slow == like 12MBs (bytes) |
| [21:05] | <sumasuma> | yes |
| [21:06] | <sumasuma> | i think that enough for a personal user, not good for corporates |
| [21:06] | <[g2]> | I'm SCP'ing at 25-30 MBs now at home |
| [21:06] | <JoeBorn> | wait, 12MB is 100mbits, what is fast? gigabit? |
| [21:07] | <[g2]> | JoeBorn yeah GigE |
| [21:07] | <sumasuma> | g2: which device you use ? |
| [21:07] | <[g2]> | sumasuma right now I've got a PC in the garage |
| [21:08] | <[g2]> | it's several years old a 2.4 Pentium with a $15 GigE card |
| [21:08] | <sumasuma> | i c |
| [21:08] | <[g2]> | it streams over the network at 460Mbs |
| [21:08] | <[g2]> | 600+ from memory |
| [21:09] | <[g2]> | I'll either get something like the NAS200 to replace it if the i/o performance is good, or my HTPC box will do it |
| [21:09] | <sumasuma> | all i have is only 100Mbps device, switch, computers etc., even if I have gigE card on the device my computer will not be able to do so, even if computer has, i need to get a gigE switch |
| [21:09] | <[g2]> | right gigE switches are like $50 for a 5 port now |
| [21:10] | <[g2]> | so from 1 server you could feed 4 pcs at nearly line rate |
| [21:10] | <[g2]> | 100mbs |
| [21:10] | <[g2]> | HD QAM is around 40Mbs |
| [21:11] | <sumasuma> | i just could not find the need of it, i think most of the movies streaming rate is less than 100mbps |
| [21:11] | <[g2]> | right it's 40mbs per HD channel |
| [21:12] | <[g2]> | so depending on QoS (quality of service) and number of channels it depends |
| [21:12] | <[g2]> | Cat 6 is only about a 50% premimum over Cat 5 which is pretty cheap |
| [21:13] | * [g2] is all setup to stream HD content from OTA / Cable un-encrypted | |
| [21:33] | <JoeBorn> | I'll say! Certainly more than one channel at a time to boot! |
| [22:01] | <[g2]> | JoeBorn I mean I can capture multiple HD channels now and stream back many |
| [22:03] | <JoeBorn> | that's neat |
| [22:03] | <JoeBorn> | my folks are OTA, and there was a recent NY TImes, I think, article that more and more folks are going that way. |
| [22:04] | <JoeBorn> | it's great quality and non encrypted so you can watch where you want. |
| [22:33] | <daurn> | hi |
