amtm amtm 4.9 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, June 30, 2024 (locked thread)

[Ripshod]

I don't use the scheduler.

This is after a reboot. I'd expect the LEDs to be off. Not so

amtm 4.8.1 is now available

- Modifies ipset test for Skynet preventing installation on *BE9x routers. Thanks @Adamm for the update.
- Any further modifications for this firmware/models branch will have to wait until firmware is released for my GT-BE98.

When LED control is disabled it turns the LEDs on. This has always been the case.

Please post output of these:

[ExtremeFiretop]

Please post output of these:

nvram get webs_state_info
echo $(nvram get buildno).$(nvram get extendno)

I can confirm this behavior:

Output below:

Admin@GT-BE98_Pro-DE30:/tmp/home/root# nvram get webs_state_info
3006_102_1_0

Admin@GT-BE98_Pro-DE30:/tmp/home/root# echo $(nvram get buildno).$(nvram get extendno)
102.1.0

Checking MerlinAU, I can also confirm no updates are actually available

Thanks, I see now where it comes from.

Updating to 4.9 was presented with a "wlcsm" message, which just hung there. After about 30 seconds the "panel showing following data" closed back to the SSH prompt.

_wlcsm_create_nl_socket:268: pid:4253 binding netlink socket error!!!

That’s someone else’s software causing that while you updated. Nothing in amtm does anything like that as far as I know.

Oh, it is someone else’s bug:

wlcsm_create_nl_socket binding netlink socket error

I seem to get these kinds of errors quite frequently while running scripts on my GT-AX6000. When these pop up, it basically stops scripts in their tracks, and locks them until I break out of them. It's random, sometimes happening within a few minutes... other times, many many hours before I...

I thought the automated LED scheduler had gone haywire after updating to 4.9 when I woke up (well before sunrise, unfortunately) and my router's LEDs were on, but going into the settings and checking the scheduler for my city (Sydney, ASXX0112), it appears the schedule is out by three hours, with sunrise at 4am instead of 7am. The sunset time is correct. I'm assuming this is a server error from weather.com?

Hey @L&LD... I can't seem to PM you, so I'm having to do this here, but your AMTM thread is locked due to age/limits.

This is a step-by-step guide that will show how to optimally set up a USB drive for Asus’ RMerlin powered routers that will at the very minimum allow for use of a swap file for your supported router. It will optionally install Entware properly too, all with the help of amtm by @thelonelycoder...

Doesn’t look locked to me? Maybe was unlocked idk.

Nvm.. guess it’s time to start a new one and link the past post or ask @thiggins but it’s per his 6 month rule.

I've seen them go past 6 months. The other qualifier is if you have more than 25 pages/500 posts it seems.

There are certain USB to SATA enclosures which are preferred. I've posted a # of times about using the UGREEN model with a specific chipset b/c some chipsets have proven to be problematic over the years. IDK if that's what's causing your issues. I've only used the UGREEN models over 5+ years now. I have never had an issue mounting the SATA USB. Look for those posts. Stay cool.

My opinion? RIP step by step amtm guide. It has so many wrong or outdated suggestions that I get a headache when glancing over it. They were never updated despite repeated corrections by other users or me.

Gotcha. I seem to have missed the fallout. Thanks for the info.
