Hello,
Suddenly luci interface not launching for me. I am seeing below error. I already tried restarting . I am on 24.10.1 on raspberry pi 4.
root@OpenWrt:~# ls /usr/lib/lua/luci/view/admin_status/
root@OpenWrt:~#
There are a few things that can cause this, but before we play a game of 20 questions, maybe this is the most relevant thing to ask:
- What happened on the Pi between the last time you used LuCI successfully and now? For example, did you change any of the configurations? install or remove any packages? upgrade any packages? upgrade OpenWrt as a whole, etc.?
All I can remember that would have happened is, my WAN link went down for some time due to ISP issue.
After some time it came back up. And Internet working too. But luci console not opening.
Ok... well, let's start down the path of looking at all the configs...

From these config files, I don’t see any issues.
Have you ever installed any additional packages into your system?
Hove you ever upgraded packages on the system?
Yes. Last Saturday I had upgraded all packages. But after that I know for sure Luci was working.
Anything I can do it restore Luci alone?
I asked that earlier.
Even if it was working, that was relevant.
Upgrading packages (via the CLI opkg upgrade command or the LuCI Upgrade... button) can result in major problems. It is generally highly discouraged, unless you know what you are doing or if there is specific instruction to do so.

Oh I missed that.
Btw, I upgraded packages via Luci console.
Can I just reinstall Luci alone or something?
No, you need to basically reset to defaults and start over. Your configs should be okay, so make a backup and then you can restore the backup once you have a fresh install.
You mean, I have to flash 24.10.1 again?
Yes, unless you have setup your Pi with a squashfs filesystem, in which case you can simply issue:
firstboot -y && reboot
which will reset your device to defaults.
If you are using ext4 for your filesystem, you'll need to re-write the flash card.

After the package update on Saturday , I have the entire image taken as a backup using dd command.
That img file is with me. Will that be useful anyway to restore?
No, do not use a dd based image in general. But it is especially problematic if you have run the package upgrades that are the the cause of this mess in the first place. Just flash from the default images. If you have additional packages installed, you can pre-install them into the image using the firmware selector.
Does below steps works?
- Take backup of below,
/root
/etc/config/firewall
/etc/config/dhcp
/etc/config/network
/etc/config/adblock
/etc/config/attendedsysupgrade
/etc/adblock/adblock.whitelist
/etc/crontabs/root
/etc/sysupgrade.conf
/usr/bin/node_exporter - Take backup of my custom services scripts from /etc/init.d/
- Use https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org/?target=bcm27xx%2Fbcm2711&id=rpi-4 page to build a custom image by providing additional packages.
- Flash it.
- Access 192.168.1.1 console
- Expand filesystem
opkg update
opkg install parted losetup resize2fs
wget -U "" -O expand-root.sh "https://openwrt.org/_export/code/docs/guide-user/advanced/expand_root?codeblock=0"
. ./expand-root.sh
sh /etc/uci-defaults/70-rootpt-resize
- Restore the files from backup.
- Reboot
From my current router, how to know what are the additional packages I need?
I ran ,
root@OpenWrt:~# owut list
tcpdump-mini luci-app-adblock netdata lsof ip-full jq luci-mod-system kmod-lib-crc-ccitt resize2fs getrandom dropbearconvert luci-theme-bootstrap kmod-pppoe cifsmount coreutils-base64 libf2fs adblock kmod-crypto-acompress luci-mod-status coreutils-dd kmod-usb-net-cdc-mbim luci-app-firewall msmtp losetup luci-ssl curl luci-app-package-manager parted luci-proto-ppp luci-mod-admin-full luci-base bind-libs luci-proto-ipv6 kmod-ppp libpcap kmod-hid-generic conntrack sshpass libuclient bind-dig luci owut fdisk luci-light kmod-lib-lzo blkid luci-mod-network kmod-hid -nftables
Are these the package I should use when building the image?
