Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hello. I am running OpenWrt 19.07.6 on a TP-Link Archer C7 AC1750 v4 router. I tried installing a package, but it resulted in a failure (unfortunately i did not save a log). I tried then to update a list of packages using "Update lists..." button and it appears to have been executed correctly. here's the log:

Upon re-loading the page, on the "Available" tab a message "Loading package information…" appears to be stuck. The web browser console also has the following error message:

TypeError: pkg is null

If i switch to "Installed" and "Updates" tabs there is a "No information available" text here. Please tell me how to fix this problem, thank you.

There is currently a major buildbot problem with the 19.07.x packages.

Read the other threads about it, e.g.
Packages missing in 19.07.7? - #10 by tjkolev

Wait.
Or build by yourself.

Thanks for clarification!

Might still be the same issue there though.

It is actually two problems, on top of each other...

  • buildbot failed to build packages, and the download directories and/or package lists were emptied.
  • LuCI improperly hangs when the package list is empty.

The first problem revealed the second.
The second problem (with hanging LuCI) is hopefully fixed a few minutes ago with

Buildbot is generating the fixed SDKs for package builds, which can succeed once there are fixed SDKs.

It will take some time before everything has been rebuilt.
