hi,
how do i fix this?
thanks.

dibdot · November 21, 2018, 3:18pm

adblock 1.5.1!? That's really an outdated & unsupported version. Which OpenWrt release did you use?

shelterx · November 26, 2018, 11:14am

I think this might be a bug, i only have a custom blacklist under the advanced tab, If I suspend adblock and try to resume it it doessn't resume.
If I add some something from blocklist sources as well, then suspending/resuming works.

dibdot · November 26, 2018, 12:27pm

Can't reproduce that. Which version did you use? Please post the output of /etc/init.d/adblock status - thanks.

shelterx · November 26, 2018, 1:04pm

I will provide more info later.
Adblock is latest openwrt master.
I tried resuming from Luci if that makes any difference.

dibdot · November 26, 2018, 1:07pm

I've tried the same and it works for me. Try suspend/resume from command line, if that works reset your luci caches (rm -rf /tmp/luci-*) and try again.

shelterx · November 26, 2018, 7:25pm

And nothing in the log when I try to resume, the suspend event is there tho'.

dibdot · November 26, 2018, 7:59pm

Sorry, I have no idea. Maybe you could check the adblock init file if it's corrupted.

shelterx · November 26, 2018, 8:09pm

Mmm no worries, I enabled some spybot and malware lists, so it works now.

dibdot · November 27, 2018, 7:17am

Please send me your (compressed) local blacklist as email attachment to my maintainers address and I'll try to reproduce that. Thanks!

@dibdot I am having some trouble installing your latest release. I have been running 3.5.5-2 successfully on the latest stable OpenWrt 18.06.1, as I typically stick with latest stable release of OpenWrt.

Anyway, upon trying to install 3.5.5-4 today, I get the following error:

Upgrading adblock on root from 3.5.5-2 to 3.5.5-4...
Collected errors:
 * satisfy_dependencies_for: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for adblock:
 * 	libssp * 
 * opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package adblock.

How should I proceed from here?

I understand that libssp is part of GCC toolchain and therefore not a simple package that I would typically be able to install.

Thank you for your time.

dibdot · December 1, 2018, 5:23am

Hmm, that's unexpected and most probably unrelated to adblock. Please provide information about your used OpenWrt release (ubus call system board) and the ipk download location - thanks. Could you install other packages?

WildByDesign · December 1, 2018, 1:45pm

I always copy my ipk's to: /tmp
And install from there

ubus call system board:

/tmp$ ubus call system board
{
	"kernel": "4.14.63",
	"hostname": "OpenWrt",
	"system": "ARMv7 Processor rev 1 (v7l)",
	"model": "Linksys WRT3200ACM",
	"board_name": "armada-385-linksys-rango",
	"release": {
		"distribution": "OpenWrt",
		"version": "18.06.1",
		"revision": "r7258-5eb055306f",
		"target": "mvebu\/cortexa9",
		"description": "OpenWrt 18.06.1 r7258-5eb055306f"
	}
}

Yes, I just did a quick test by installing another ipk package using the same command from the same tmp location just for testing purposes. That installed without any errors.

dibdot · December 1, 2018, 5:15pm

Hi Dave,

unfortunately I can't reproduce your problem - even with 18.06.1 all works fine:

Maybe your download archive/ipk is corrupt!?

WildByDesign · December 1, 2018, 6:59pm

This turns out to be the likely scenario. I downloaded the .ipk again from another directory and it installed successfully without any errors.

I'm not sure exactly how it happened because the two .ipk's on my system have matching hashes. So it must have something to do with when I copied it to the router via WinSCP. Regardless, the problem is solved now. Thank you.

shelterx · December 2, 2018, 12:41pm

Is the adult list from https://dsi.ut-capitole.fr/blacklists/index_en.php is too big to use?
Other than memory considerations, does a big blacklist affect performance?

dibdot · December 2, 2018, 5:51pm

Please see this post: Adblock support thread
If you are going to use really big blocklist, try unbound.

shelterx · December 3, 2018, 9:18am

Yeah, I ran OOM for that list, I used Shalla's which is slightly smaller. I will merge that with my own so I don't have to use the sorting routine.

flywire · December 8, 2018, 12:15am

Prerequisites

OpenWrt, tested with the stable release series (18.06)

Is my customised OEM OpenWrt Chaos Calmer 15.05.1 likely to work with this package (I can see it did previously)? How would I know? I won't necessarily have luci running.

dibdot · December 10, 2018, 7:13am

Just try it ... the LuCI part won't work!
