[Fork] Asuswrt-Merlin 374.43 LTS releases (Archive)

[Deleted member 27741]

Hey John! Great firmware working well as usual. I am getting this in my logs over and over- is it an issue or should I just ignore it?

No, not OK. Are you using a self-generated cert for your https access? and if so, did you put a copy of it in /etc/cert.pem?

CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (51)
The remote server's SSL certificate or SSH md5 fingerprint was deemed not OK.

Didn't help. Never used this IP before so couldn't have been cached anyway. Never had this problem before in any previous firmware versions (including 17 beta).
Funny thing is that if I go through a VPN both DNS and IP works.

Have a theory. Do you have QoS active? If so, try this command on the router and see if it resolves the problem.

service restart_firewall

I seem to be having issues with a SAMBA share on an NTFS partition coming back and being visible under windows after a router reboot. I have to go into the SAMBA share on the router and disable/enable the guest login option for the share to appear and be accessible. Partition sda1 is ext3 and partition sda2 is NTFS. I can see sda1 upon router reboot in windows but not sda2 until the enable/disable option is invoked. Please see the system log after a reboot to see if there's anything I'm missing. I can duplicate this everytime after a reboot. thanks

I seem to be having issues with a SAMBA share on an NTFS partition coming back and being visible under windows after a router reboot. I have to go into the SAMBA share on the router and disable/enable the guest login option for the share to appear and be accessible. Partition sda1 is ext3 and partition sda2 is NTFS. I can see sda1 upon router reboot in windows but not sda2 until the enable/disable option is invoked. Please see the system log after a reboot to see if there's anything I'm missing. I can duplicate this everytime after a reboot. thanks

Don't see anything out of the ordinary (I'm assuming the restart_samba_force at the end is you resetting things in the gui).

Is this Windows 10? I just read a post about problems with Windows 10 and Samba....you may want to give this a try (thnx for posting @sfx2000)

CTF changes affecting 68U also, before I had just on and off, now I can choose between off, level1 and level2. I have kept it off as I want fully functional QoS etc.

 

[Zin105]

Have a theory. Do you have QoS active? If so, try this command on the router and see if it resolves the problem.

service restart_firewall

QoS has never been enabled. Tried the command anyway and it didn't help.

Rev B1? What speed processor.....there was also a bug for a while in the base Asus code where it would say the AC68U supported FA mode (but it really doesn't, unless possibly the B1 rev)

Well I decided to unmount the device and do a file and disk check under Ubuntu. I checked each partition one at a time and it found a minor problem under the ext3 partition which it fixed. Plugged the drive back into the router, powered on the router and voila all is well with both partitions showing up under windows after a router reboot. Sorry guess I should of tried the simple stuff first. Thanks again John for this great firmware. Cheers

No, not OK. Are you using a self-generated cert for your https access? and if so, did you put a copy of it in /etc/cert.pem?

CURLE_PEER_FAILED_VERIFICATION (51)
The remote server's SSL certificate or SSH md5 fingerprint was deemed not OK.

Have always just let the router create the cert for https access- and https access to router works despite these errors.

I do use an unconventional set of ip addresses- the router is 10.xxx.xxx.xxx

Also use unconventional port for https access, and only use https access.

*** UPDATE ***
I had the setting on "YES" to save the cert to jffs. Turned it to "NO" and the router rebooted (and I think created a new cert). Error no longer in logs every 30 sec or so. Perhaps the cert got corrupted during the firmware update? I'll let you know if I see the error again.

 

[Nullity]

@john9527 Is your version numbering explained in this thread? (I have no idea what "E" refers to... "errata"?)

Regardless, I would prefer a more intuitive, common version numbering system, perhaps like Firefox or the Linux kernel. http://www.linfo.org/kernel_version_numbering.html

Allow me to add my voice to the chorus of thanks, John. Your firmware has breathed new life into my trusty RT-N66U. Thank you for all your hard work!

Interesting.....I was going to ask you to set the save cert to 'Yes'.....I've been running that way for a long time (so I could load the cert into the browser and not have it change at every reboot) and didn't see that during the development/testing. A bit stumped here....

In any event, I've coded a patch that will shut down the http/https response check after 5 consecutive fails. It's really not good to keep starting/stopping httpd and filling up the syslog in case of a problem.

I do prefer it saving the cert as well. I will put it back to yes and report my results.

*** REPORT ***
Set saving the cert back to yes and no issue in the logs.

Thanks again for all you do. This release is a freakin' juggernaut!

Just for your information in case you have a coding epiphany- my settings when things went wrong-
Router ip- 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
Authentication method- https only
Https lan port- not 443
Save https cert- yes
Enable web access from wan- no
Auto logout- 0
Allow specified IP address- no

Not too much of a mystery...it's evolved a bit over time

3743.43_2-17E2j9527

374.43_2 = the base Merlin level for the fork
17 =major release level (two digits - decimal)
E = next letter after..... 'B' (for Beta)....I didn't like C, and 'D' I use for 'Development' if I'm working privately with someone on a new feature. So 'E' for released code.
2 = minor release level (single hex digit)
j9527 = short form of my forum id. When I first approached Merlin about doing a fork, we decided to include an identifier to distinguish it from his work.

I understand the merlin base & "j9527" suffix, but very little of the rest makes sense to me.

For a project like yours that focuses on end-users (rather than devs), the versioning system is confusing. Mixing hex & decimal is completely unexpected. At least include an explanation of your peculiar versioning system in the first post.

The "Ex" versioning system has confused me from day one, so I thought I would bring it up.

I have a problem with the media server... it doesn't start on many reboots, even with the scan on every boot option set to yes.
I can see these in the log upon every reboot:

Jan 1 05:30:13 hotplug[313]: USB ntfs fs at /dev/sda1 mounted on /tmp/mnt/WD_NAS
Jan 1 05:30:14 hotplug[313]: USB partition unmounted from /tmp/mnt/WD_NAS
Jan 1 05:30:15 hotplug[313]: USB /dev/sda1(ntfs) failed to mount at the first try!
Jan 1 05:30:15 kernel: ufsd: use builtin utf8 instead of kernel utf8
Jan 1 05:30:17 kernel: ufsd: sda1 without journal
Jan 1 05:30:17 hotplug[313]: USB ntfs fs at /dev/sda1 mounted on /tmp/mnt/WD_NAS

Don't know if this is what is causing the issue. If i subsequently switch off the media server and switch it on again then it starts up. Any workarounds to delay starting the media server upon boot?

EDIT: Also the scheduled disk scanner when set to anything other than disabled does not stick.

Yep..its quitting on every soft reboot now. I found this https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/delay-start-of-minidlna-to-wait-for-the-USB-disk-mount to delay starting of the media server. Will it work?

The confusion is the problem I am concerned with.

At this point in this forks lifetime I don't plan on changing things.....I think it will just confuse things more. Please let it drop.
