OPKG and LUCI dont work after upgrade

Ok.. here is short description of my problem:
I had some issues in logs related to openssl in my router AW1000 so I decided to upgrade to newest version all packages. After that my issues disappeared but.... I had now two new issues. Opkg doesnt seem to work anymore:

I have checked opkg config file everything seems to be ok. Internet connections works fine, I can even ping archive.openwrt.org

And second problem... i cant logging to luci graphical interface via http, landing page works, but it tells me wrong password for root... it weird because I didnt changed root password and for ssh it works fine.

could you provide any help and info what can I do?
If u need any additional info I will attach it.

I think you need to erase all setting and start again
it's a good idea to backup your settings before changing lots just in case
and it's more to go through and compare then upload back in
you may have upgraded a few to many versions at once
is it really V21.02 you updated to ? Maybe the V21.02 was the old version that didn't update
which is why opkg is not working

that's not openwrt, but a vendor firmware.

if you want support here, please install proper openwrt.

It appears you are using firmware that is not from the official OpenWrt project.

When using forks/offshoots/vendor-specific builds that are "based on OpenWrt", there may be many differences compared to the official versions (hosted by OpenWrt.org). Some of these customizations may fundamentally change the way that OpenWrt works. You might need help from people with specific/specialized knowledge about the firmware you are using, so it is possible that advice you get here may not be useful.

You may find that the best options are:

  1. Install an official version of OpenWrt, if your device is supported (see https://firmware-selector.openwrt.org).
  2. Ask for help from the maintainer(s) or user community of the specific firmware that you are using.
  3. Provide the source code for the firmware so that users on this forum can understand how your firmware works (OpenWrt forum users are volunteers, so somebody might look at the code if they have time and are interested in your issue).

If you believe that this specific issue is common to generic/official OpenWrt and/or the maintainers of your build have indicated as such, please feel free to clarify.

Maybe it didnt upgrade correctly. Because upgrade process was interrupted due to these 255 problem and i just seen info about opkg config conflict. New config file just didnt have these lines:

arch all 1
arch noarch 1
arch aarch64_cortex-a53 100

so i added them but it doesnt work...

Btw I have the same router in another home so is it possible to just replace luci and opkg files to make it work again?

It is really not openwrt?

I think @frollic is most likely correct if the version you had was not official OpenWrt
then a sysupgrade most likely not work to a real OpenWrt
and it's not real OpenWrt then we can't help anything could be wrong

but either way, my recommendation is to factory default the router erase all setting
and start reconfiguring from a blank defaulted device

V21 is way to old for a router V23 is current

Ok so sorry for my misunderstanding the topic. I am quite new in openwrt. You are probably right then, my router is marked as "telstra" so probably this is company who sells Arcadyan routers with their own openwrt mod.
So that image what you have send should work for my router even if my router is marked as "Telstra" vendor?

Ok, I can try to do factory settings and even reinstall system. It is weird but my router doesnt have any reset button, probably only way to reset is reinstall software :confused:

you're still unfamiliar with it, since you're not really using it :wink:

did you check the links provided ?

try running the firstboot command.

Yes, going to have to lookup debricking the device BTW in Vic, Au myself
never have any luck with Telstra stuff

https://openwrt.org/toh/arcadyan/astoria/aw1000

this device look's good lot's of ram,flash and speed
Wonder if it will do 1Gbit

Thank you for the link. I think one day I will do just clear installation of openWRT

This one 2.5Gbit/s is WAN on default . you can have that speed on 5GHz wifi as far as I know. Thats the only reasonable usage of that port I think.
"Wonder if it will do 1Gbit"
All ports works on 1Gbit without problems. I using 5G modem and my download speeds is 150Mb - 700 Mb, depends on day . Files on local area networks are transmited with 1Gbit withous issues

I will reinstall it one day to clear openWRT. Any advices from you to avoid this kind of problems during upgrading next time? :smiley:

Blockquote try running the firstboot command.

It seems to work but I am little bit scared to proceed further cos it tells it remove all packages... now I have working router without opkg and luci ... but at least internet works :smiley:

Read fork release notes, learn their "factory reset" procedure and save it for offline use.
