have you just installed the optware feed or have you installed some stuff before it did not work anymore?

I installed FreeLink_arm9-1.0rev2 a few months ago and upgraded to the stock FW 1.11 including the initrd. I doesn't know the problems until the last few days. Any advice?

update: Back to normal after following this page: Revive your arm9 box from scratch

I get an error on my linkstation live as well,with the latest stock firmware (2.10)

seems as if the command "tar" which is provided by the stock busybox causes the problems? someone can provide a normal full tar for testing? my LS Pro needs serial so i can fix the messed up uboot enviroment, i would do it myself.

The busybox tar is very limited in what it can do so it is probably the cause of this problem: was another version of tar was used to create ipkg?

It seems that both a normal tar package and its dependency bzip2 is available through the optware feed. I will try to install them manually and retry the bootstrapping when I have time.

I can't wait to hear more on this. I get the exact same error with my stock Linkstation Live 500gb. *Crosses fingers*

Success

I made a tarball of gnu tar and its dep bz2 from the optware feed, available on http://www.ping.uio.no/~egil/linkstation/.

The fix goes as follows:

wget http://www.ping.uio.no/~egil/linkstation/alternative.tar
cd /
tar -xvf /<PATH/TO>/alternative.tar
cd -
PATH="/alt/bin":$PATH
sh <bootstrap-file>

Enjoy

Big thanks for your work.

Unfortunately i semm to miss some or have the wrong libs:

root@LS-GLDBB:/mnt/disk1/tmp# sh lspro-bootstrap_1.0-10_arm.xsh
Optware Bootstrap for lspro.
Extracting archive... please wait
tar: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: version `GCC_3.5' not found (required by tar)
tar: /lib/librt.so.1: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by tar)
tar: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by tar)
lspro-bootstrap_1.0-10_arm.xsh: line 5: cd: bootstrap: No such file or directory

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Edit: Found out about the libgcc problem here in the forum and fixed that:

viewtopic.php?f=39&t=4807&p=43725

Nevertheless it doesnt seem to run on my machine. i get the same error as before the change in tar... (see some postings of me earlier)

Its probably because you're running freelink instead of the stock firmware.
If you're running freelink optware is obsolete anyway, as you have a fully fledged system. Just use aptitude instead

yeah i know

But fuppes is not available via aptitude...

Build it myself but doesnt run... (most probably the problem is interaural )
Thought with the optware feed it would be easier, but if it wont run, i´ll try another way.

Well, it looks like it's time for me to give up again (for now).

Whether via uShare or FUPPES, my fully-firmware-upgraded PS3 just won't recognize nearly 90% of my files. (Most of which are AVI/XviD/Divx). It also doesn't really play much else, either, and depending on the version of the DLNA server software I use on my linkstation, I sometimes have more/less success.

FUPPES seemed to be promising, but the .cfg file how-to sites didn't match the version of FUPPES that optware installs. (In other words, it doesn't offer support for the PS3-specific section of the config file.)

uShare seems to work a bit better, but still has 100% failure with any avi or mp4 files.

Those very same files play perfectly fine via USB plugged into the PS3.

I don't know what else to do.

uShare via optware is at the most recent version, but FUPPES is not. Can I somehow upgrade FUPPES to the newer version that supports the newer config file, or will that involve compiling it myself? (Something I don't want to do, as this SHOULD be possible via stock Linkstation firmware)

Any suggestions would be amazingly appreciated.

the best place to request a version upgrade in all optware feeds is at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/nslu2-general/ as this is the nslu2-mailing list.

brian zhou is the main optware developer, i am sure he will respond to your request.

Is there a similar contact for the aptitude (apt-get) debian repository?
