installing problem of nightly-firefly at NSLU2

[goana]

hi,

I am a newbie and try to install the firefly mediaserver (I have a NSLU2-unslung-6.8-beta and a soundbridge M1001). I have also unsling the NSLU.

My problem is now to install the mediaserver. As described in http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Mt-daapd?from=Unslung.Mt-daapd, I have done as follows in telnet:

1. echo “src firefly http://ipkg.fireflymediaserver.org/armeb” > /etc/ipkg/firefly.conf
2. ipkg update
3. ipkg install mt-daapd

However, after ipkg update there is a failure resulting in different text as follows:

Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/nslu2/cross/stable/Packages.gz
wget: ipkg.nslu2-linux.org: Host name lookup failure

Where is the failure…..please help I am a newbie and I am very happy for each help.

thanks for the reply.

I have a few points not solved yet:

– I have changed the settings in the NSLU2 but nothing has changed. The same errors are coming.
Where is the bottleneck?
By the way, there is also a strange thing. When I have connected the NSLU via ethernet cable I have no internet connection via the wlan. First, I have to stop the NSLU than I have internet connection via the wlan. I guess I have changed something wrong?

– Nevertheless I have downloaded the mt-daapd_svn-1498-1_armek.ipk and has put it into the tmp folder. Then I have installed the file via telnet by ipkg install mt-daapdxxxxx.ipk. It work but at the end it say: “cannot satisfy the followin dependencies for mt-daapd (libid3tag, libogg, ivorbis-tools, flac, sqlite2, bash, alac-decoder, sqlite).
I guess, this is due to the failed internet-connection and thus, no ipkg update can be done.

Need help to install the firefly server, please

You have some kind of fundamental ip problem. Your NSLU2 either doesn’t have a default gateway set, or it doesn’t have a dns server set.

Check your settings on the web admin for the nslu2. If it’s set up with a manual IP address, then make sure that your dns server settings and your gateway settings are set to the same value that your PC is.

You can check your PC settings by doing “ipconfig /all” from a command prompt. Write down dns server and the default gateway from your PC and enter them in the interface for your nslu2 via the web config.

thanks for your reply.

I have set the gateway and DNS of my NSLU2 via web admin as prompted with “ipconfig/all. The connection from the PC to the NSLU2 via LAN works. But when I disconnect the ethernet cable I have no access from the PC to the NSLU2 by WLAN.
Maybe I should post the ipconfig/all prompt to see what is wrong? Is this secure?

I hope anybody can help me.

You will need to have something like this

192.168.1.1          192.168.1.2

+

+         +

+

| Router | ======= | Your PC  |

+

+         +

+

||

||

+

+

|  SLUG  |

+

+

192.168.1.77

The Default gateway and DNS on the Slug point to your router (192.168.1.1) in this example.

Hope this helps.

@sonichouse

my settings are like this:

router: 192.168.2.1
PC: 192.168.2.101 (for WLAN) and 192.168.2.25 (LAN)
SLUG: 192.168.2.77

The connection of the PC and SLUG via LAN works but not via WLAN.

OK all looks good, you need to do run

ipconfig /all

and check that for your wireless card, you have 192.168.2.1 as the default gateway.
