New version of my custom firmware build: 1.0.2.69SF.

Changes (vs 1.0.2.68SF):

1. libreadline: fixing read-only attribute for target libraries to provide strip of binary (saving space).
2. amule, libcrypto++, wxWidgets: optimization of size (saving space).
3. libunistring is removed (not needed, saving space).
4. libogg is removed (not needed, saving space).
5. Transmission: change of GUI. transmission-web-control package is added and standard transmission-web package is removed.
6. OpenSSL package: unification of Makefile (identical with R9000 version).
7. lz4 package is upgraded 1.9.1->1.9.2
8. lz4 package: unification of Makefile (identical with R9000 version).
9. lzo package: unification of Makefile (identical with R9000 version).
10. OpenVPN package: unification of Makefile (identical with R9000 version).
11. dropbear package: unification of Makefile (identical with R9000 version).
12. libflac package is upgraded 1.3.2->1.3.3.
13. libflac package optimization (sync with OpenWRT version).
14. curl package is upgraded 7.65.1->7.65.3.
15. expat package is upgraded 2.2.6->2.2.7.
16. sqlite package is upgraded 3270200->3290000.
17. Host tools: two components are upgraded (e2fsprogs, scons).

ty for your hard work

 

[pege63]

Good Work Voxel.

Is there a way to block out GUEST from the the local network and just let them access to the internet?

I do not see any problem with this. Maybe you should really enable GUEST (it is not enabled in your screenshot).

just reverted back to your firmware voxel, Kong stopped dd-wrt development.
try to install entware but de usb does not work...(automount)
if i run your post-mount script and try to opkg it says

Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-rc1/ipq806x/generic/packages/Packages.gz.
Collected errors:
* opkg_download: Failed to download http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09-rc1/ipq806x/generic/packages
/Packages.gz: Error.

the source is not available and after telling opkg to use /opt/etc/opkg.conf i get

opkg update -f /opt/etc/opkg.conf
Package mtd-utils-mtdinfo version 1.5.2-2 has no valid architecture, ignoring.

etc..

What can i do to install entware ?
Can you build in midnight commander like you dit with transmittion, i think much users would appreciate it

Run:

which opkg

It will display you /bin/opkg. As I suppose.

You should use /opt/bin/opkg. Default (/bin/opkg) is just used for internal needs and QoS update.

Create the file /root/.profile:

#!/bin/sh
export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin

to force /opt/bin/opkg from Entware by default.

As an add-on maybe... Entware contains mc...

[Voxel]

Midnight Commander:

Out-of topic: I dislike MC. Something personal. It is strange of course because I do use similar to original Norton Commander shell Far Manager (for Windows):

https://farmanager.com/screenshots.php?l=en

And it (Far Manager) helps me much in firmware integration/build. E.g. it has SCP add-on allowing me to edit/view/browse files on Linux from my Windows PC.

Perhaps MC vs FAR comparison...

[Luuc Paauw]

did everything you said...which opkg was wrong...created .profile in /root/ , reboor, telnet but no right PATH....dit an export and now the right PATH...
But upkg update run from /opt/etc.. i got the same error as before...with opkg -f /opt/etc/opkg.conf also the same errors...
can far be installed to voxel firmware...i use it to copy from 1 disk (internal) to the other ones....

Try to run concrete opkg wit full path:

/opt/bin/opkg update
/opt/bin/opkg upgrade
/opt/bin/opkg install mc
mc

P.S. Far Manage is a Windows program. Cannot be used in Linux environment.

Voxel.

As you can see, it cant change it even if i klick to enable Guest Network.
I cant klick in the square to dissable access my local NETWORK.
I DONT want GUEST access to the LOCAL network and to see all my mapps and access to files, ONLY acceess to INTERNET.

In the MANUAL its not even klicked in, so how to i get the same!?
"Guest networks allow visitors at your home to use the Internet without using your wireless security key" When its NOT klicked in you can access the INTERNET only!

 

[Luuc Paauw]

voxel..the /opt/bin opkg command also gives the same problems...another usb stick does the same errors..i'm lost

 

[Luuc Paauw]

Sorry, I could not recognize from your screenshot that you are using R7800 in AP mode. Not router mode.

Guest isolation is not possible in AP mode, because the AP has no control over the traffic once it leaves the AP...

IMU you are still using /bin/opkg.

Try to run

opkg --version

it should display

opkg version d4ba162bb3f931bd5a019154270a548cf1f0853b (2019-01-31)

if you are using Entware version. If it displays "opkg version 0.1.8" then you are using wrong opkg.

Try again using FULL PATH, not just "opkg" but "/opt/bin/opkg":

/opt/bin/opkg install mc_4.8.22-1_cortex-a15-3x.ipk

So something is wrong with your installation. opkg from Entware does not work

First, what filesystem do you use? Entware requires ext4 (or at least ext2/3).
Second, make sure that you created ext4 using the command:

mkfs.ext4 -L optware -O ^metadata_csum /dev/sda1

(described in my README).
Third, just post the output of commands:

ll /opt/
ll /opt/bin/

i originally did a format with partition master in windows and label it optware but if i try your command

root@R7800:/rom/bin$ mkfs.ext4 L optware -O ^metadata_csum /dev/sda1

i was on dd-wrt ent went back to your firmware, did also do a factory reset
i also had to chmod 777 /tmp/mnt/sda1 to make it accessable from windows to unpak your generic zip from your site
