LEDE on WNDR3700v4 (available flash size)

I did it!!!

I compiled and i think i included stuff that i do not need and stuff that i need did not work. I could not compile with transmission included it gave me compilation error :frowning:

package sources did not said releases/17.01.1 they said SNAPSHOT/releases so i replaced them all.

oh and what is this? you can see in the picture connection is not secure. what package is needed to fix this issue?

here is a pic

also this screen is different from yours is this a problem that /rom is 6.0 MB?

Might be wrong. It depends on whether you cloned the master ("snapshot") sources or the lede-17.01 branch sources (and if you cloned 17.01 branch HEAD or specifically the 17.01.1 release...)

I suggest that you copy back the default feeds definitions from /rom/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf to /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

/rom size varies according to how much space is needed for the packages you have included in the build. (The size of rom + overlay is constant. So the extra space not taken by flashed firmware in /rom is allocated for /overlay. All your later changes (config, package installations) go to /overlay while /rom stays unchanged.

Due to self-signed SSL certificate. Some browsers complain about that. E.g. in Firefox you can define an exception for the site, so that the browser stops complaining. Advice for Chrome can be found e.g. in https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=358930#p358930

restored distfeeds.conf.

I ran this commands to build this image

git clone https://git.lede-project.org/source.git

did this 2 line change feeds in distfeed.conf? What if i do not run this commands when compiling?
./scripts/feeds update -a
./scripts/feeds install -a

then target, package selection and compiling.
make menuconfig
make defconfig
make menuconfig
scripts/diffconfig.sh >mydiffconfig
make -j5

Now i want to recompile new image with slightly modified packages. How do i do it?
I changed selected packages with make menuconfig comand. Do i have to run some make clean or something or just go a head and make -j5?

those are used to keep packages you can compile ready and up-to-date, if you choose not to run them you might run into issues somehow im not sure (otherwise the packages might just be out-of-date). ive always ran this to make sure i have the latest packages before i build.

go back into build source and make menuconfig then pick what new packages (as you did)

please see Cleaning Up. otherwise, just for changing packages, no.
if you change something more important most likely you can need dirclean (ex: edit some of the patches) but you haven't done this.

if you for some reason later build from trunk, when you git pull sometimes maybe you have to git stash and reapply patch because the file we modify is changed sometimes and git will not repatch unless you tell it to (or just stash/remod it real quick by yourself) other than that you should be good. :slight_smile:

building is pretty easy with the system given to us, so it's not all that complicated after you get used to it! you did a really good job by yourself!

have a good night @anon20279570 stay safe :sunflower:

Do not know wht happened but router works really bad. From browser it takes aages to load luci. Even ssh connection takes 10 or so seconds to start. When i look in processes tab this show up

awk -F . {forf NF f > 1f --) printf "%s. , f ;print $1} /tmp/tmp.BAiKoP and takes 40%-90% CPU what is this can you tell me?

I have no clue what that could be, never seen it before. :frowning:
most likely it's from some package you installed maybe?
i couldn't say which one though, im sorry :disappointed:

here's what mine looks lik currently (on trunk@r4320-334f8f4fc3):

I found out it was adblock. If it needs so much performance then this router is not enough. I am gonna stick wis browser based adblocking on my laptop.

I think this topic is over. The main problem was solved already. How can i close it?

nice job! :smiley:

i highly suggest uBlock Origin with uBlockProtector and if you use chrome also uBlock Origin Extra

:smiley: yep!

good question..
