Problems with ipkg [wakelan]

Since i have SSH access to my nslu2 with meteohub from outside i would like to use the nslu2 to wake other pc's on my home network.

I thought that i could just do an 'ipkg install wakelan' but it fails.

ipkg updates also fails.

I could however use the wget to link to download the file. But 'ipkg ...

Re:Install of Meteohub on an external HDD

The slug just sees the the usb pen as storage - so would your hd.

The only problem is that images is to small use your big hd. But I can't see any reason why you should'nt be able to resize the partitions on a hd to the sizes you want - It is "just" an application running on SlugOS/BE 4.8

But if ...

Re:cron job to ftp some files

Any files you copy to the transfer directory will be uploaded by meteohub automatically.

That is what i do for my extra 1-wire sensors.
I simply point the output of my custom plot to /data/transfer and soon thereafter i can find the picture on http://majland.org/weather/1wire.png

The plot is ...

Re:Custom crontab entries

So now i'm loggin data from 3 extra temperature sensors. The plan is to measure how fast/slow the temperature inthe house changes when turning the ...

It seems that any changes in the webinterface is causes /var/cron/tabs/root.new to be written and then /var/cron/tabs/root

Re:AC Power fail : NSLU2 does not restart itself

Yes - when applying power to the slug trough one of its USB ports it boots imideately - and hence also after an power failure.

That why i posted it here :-)

I actually used the slugs psu to power the 2.5" external hd and the slug that way round

Discalimer - this was tested with a slug several ...

Re:AC Power fail : NSLU2 does not restart itself

The slug does not run on ac but on a 5V DC.

From linksys it is delivered with a PSU that delivers the 5V DC.

What i did was to use a hd case with its own power supply and that powered the slug trough its usb port (I.e i did not connect the linksys psu at all)

You can do the same with a usb hub ...

Re:AC Power fail : NSLU2 does not restart itself

An alternative approach is to power the slug trough the usb port. If you use a powered hub on your weatherstation port that can power the slug as well.

I've been running with that setup for a few years with a powered hd case when my slug was running as webserver.

It is not recommended to use a hub ...

I'm still new to this and only have about a week worth of data logged :-)

But i'm looking into which graphs that i wants to generate in different timeframes.

The possibility to include date/time in the graph upload filename by means of strftime formatting makes it easy to generate graphs on a ...

Choosing Colors when defining graphs

It might be obvious, but not to me ...

When i get the cromatic selection palette i can ofcourse just choose a color - but it does also allow me to edit the color value directly in hex in the upper left corner.

But i can't figure out how to get it to accept my new values.

Is there an easy way ?
