I installed 24.10.0 RC1 yesterday on my Asus Ac85p router, but I encountered some error when trying to update some Software packets:

Is there anything I can do to fix those errors?

It's linked previously in the thread.

You are already unknowingly hosting a RSS feed. Among other feeds there is also a RSS feed for every category automatically created by Discourse.

The RSS feed for this category would be:

This RSS feed is already optimal.

The - is a substitute for the slug. However the slug is ignored in favor of the ID. So it just helps to identify the URL.

Thanks a lot @dannil .
But I don't know exactly how to fix it! :frowning:

You can try to edit your distfeeds.conf as mentioned in https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17146#issuecomment-2513423414 and see if that fixes it, but it'll need to be a specific URL and vermagic for your device compared to the URL in the linked comment.

Otherwise if you don't feel comfortable doing that there'll be an upcoming 24.10-rc2 some time this week I guess (it'll get tagged today according to https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17146#issuecomment-2514324745) if you just want to wait for that one.

Working normally on Netgear WNDR4300v1 I did notice that unlike 23.05.5 right after startup on 23.05.5 the free ram is 60MB and on 24.10.0-rc1 the free ram is 56MB

Congratulations for this major release. It's a major goal considering the kernel bump and all it involves.

Some Linksys ipq40xx devices (such as MR8300) require a tweak to install 24.10. It's the same that is previouly described in 23.05 release notes. Please copy/paste theses infos otherwise users trying to install directly 24.10 may brick their device.

Thank you.

@hauke the Xiaomi AX3200/Redmi AX6S also had UBI layout changed as part of this commit.

This way a sysupgrade from 23.05.x to 24.10.0-rc1 is not possible. This device's wiki already has instructions about how to manually update. Perhaps this should be added to the release notes as well.

Also a bricking risk? I always feel bricking risks should be flagged!

I believe so, but users will need to "force" sysupgrade to get a brick, and the warning is very clear that the image is not compatible, so it will need a deliberate action to get a brick.

How's the throughput over WAN? I notice mine is lowered to 300mbps top in 23. Perhaps 24 is even lower.

Hehe - that’s the spirit! Reminds me about how my old boss - ever the optimist - used to like to tell me about the notion of progress, and I would respond by asking him about the destination on the basis that absent a clear destination, we can’t be sure that any progress is even being made - is it simply a dog chasing its own tail?

As my ISP's connection is only 100mbps I don't think I'll be able to test the higher speeds.

Two issues I had with x86/64 for this release:

  1. Missing kmods (known issue as described by https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17146#issuecomment-2513423414)
  2. My LAN interface only negotiated 100Mb/s, despite supporting (and auto negotiating) 1000Mb/s on 23.05.5. Reported at https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/issues/17154.

Is this compatible with BT HomeHub 5 Type A?

OpenWrt 24.10.0-rc2 is currently building. It contains a fix to allow installing kernel packages again.

For Netgear R7800 (ipq806x), this release switches to DSA, so a sysupgrade is not possible. I suggest the release notes should mention all the platforms that were on swconfig in 23.05 and now are on DSA.

Hello :slight_smile:
Is the version 24.10 not going to solve the problems of the BT HomeHub 5A router like the previous version 23.05? Because the problem was supposed to be solved in version 23.05, but unfortunately, after 5 versions, it has not been solved until now.
