Have anyone using adblock function? Whenever I upgrade to new version, the adblock becomes unusable. I need to remove and install it again. Often, I need to erase and reinstall OpenWRT to make the fucntion work. Have anyone got the same problem?

I am using simple ad block instead of adblock. It is working fine so far.

anon50098793 · July 24, 2021, 7:52am

thanks neil1...

this is the whole reason ENABLEDSERVICES exists with stuff default disabled...

without it... it's not possible (reasonably) to include conflicting or resource consuming packages within the build...

I know it creates doubts/confustion for many... and puts them off using the build... but embracing these options allow for seamless sysupgrades

by conservative calculations...

2 hours x 30 users x 3 reinstalls = 180hours

approx 7 days of human life

saved ... not bad at all...

(although not intially... I now semi make use of @vgaetera s opkg-script logic (thankyou) which has probably saved in excess of 3 months of human life cumulative!)

Thank you so much,

I just upgraded to latest build without any issues and I have added services to
SYSTEM > STARTUP > LOCALSTARTUP

 ENABLEDSERVICES="sqm simple-adblock https-dns-proxy"

it just upgraded without any issues and these services are working without making any changes or starting them manually after every update

anon50098793 · July 24, 2021, 9:07am

I think you've upgraded twice... since ROOTFSEXPAND was enabled...

did your disk get expanded?

df -h | grep root; dmesg | grep -i expand

( thanks to @oskari.rauta for adding parted to OpenWrt packages repo... made this task alot easier )

neil1 · July 24, 2021, 9:46am

yes, now it is 29GB

anon50098793 · July 24, 2021, 12:02pm

in brief steps;

set your wireless radio0 country (after you set it in raspbi(an|OS))
enable and restart wpad
fire up travelmate and see how you go

other than that... you'll have to poke around or ask on the general forum...

SyntaxTerror · July 24, 2021, 7:09pm

collectd-mod-dns has been in my packagesremove.txt for the last few months as I found it would put collectd into a crash loop every few days.

I’d vote it to be removed unless there are active users

anon50098793 · July 24, 2021, 7:15pm

o cool... i didn't think it would startup if you just remove the package edit: spoke too soon ( it does )... so I wont have to push a script to [ conditionally ] remove the config lines...

Sun Jul 25 05:11:25 2021 daemon.err collectd[6902]: There is configuration for the `dns' plugin, but the plugin isn't loaded. Please check your configuration.

my guess is it's got something to do with some patches that made busybox more ipv6 aware a few weeks ago... as i'm pretty sure it was working for 3-5months...

I also vote to remove it... it as added when dnsmasq was getting all those fixes to keep an eye on it...

it's easy enough for someone to add to /etc/packagesinstall.txt if they want it as it's not really required for firstboot... ( I have not had issues with it though... so my suspicion is that it's failing for those that don't have ipv6 )

thanks for the info

when masq is chugging along ok... you do get a teency amount of query distribution info from it... but once you've seen it... for the resources it uses... it's not really worth running 24/7 anyways imho...

DNS plugin segfaults - OpenWRT / kernel 4.14

opened 05:53PM - 26 Dec 20 UTC

Strykar

* Version of collectd: `5.12` * Operating system / distribution: `OpenWrt 1…9.07.4 r11208-ce6496d796` * Kernel version (if applicable): `4.14.195 #0 SMP x86/64 Linux` ## Actual behavior Given enough time running, the DNS plugin will segfault and crash, shutting down collectd. ``` Sat Dec 26 14:14:48 2020 daemon.err collectd[17396]: dns plugin: pcap_loop exited with status -1. Sat Dec 26 14:15:13 2020 kern.info kernel: [103791.357292] reader#0[17408]: segfault at 7f4142f1a758 ip 00007f414313519a sp 00007f4142f1a760 error 6 in dns.so[7f4143135000+2000] Sat Dec 26 14:15:13 2020 daemon.info procd: Instance collectd::instance1 s in a crash loop 6 crashes, 271 seconds since last crash ``` I have opened https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/14339, but the maintainer suggested this should be reported upstream. This behavior has been going on for a long time even in previous versions on OpenWRT. The OpenWRT package maintainer tried to help debug it in the past but that did not appear to go anywhere and the issue was closed. See https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues/1227 the issue seems to be related to the DNS plugin using libpcap. Issue is not platform specific (I have know of this issue for years on x64) and the maintainer was troubleshooting this on ar71xx / mips32r2 architectures. The current workaround suggested for OpenWRT is to [disable the plugin](https://forum.openwrt.org/t/collectd-dns-plugin-crashes/20386/2) as its crashing causes collectd to exit. ## Steps to reproduce * Install and enable collectd on OpenWRT. * Wait 10 - 90 mins * View syslog to confirm collectd has crashed While I could provide debug logs, I am not half as competent as @hnyman and his attempts in https://github.com/collectd/collectd/issues/1227 Perhaps OpenWRT could be added to Collectd's test suite as this issue is easily reproducible?

SyntaxTerror · July 24, 2021, 7:18pm

Iirc this was the reason why when we dug into it. My isp doesn’t hand out IPV6 addresses yet.

malikshi · July 24, 2021, 7:27pm

Almost all isp in my country not using ipv6. Maybe jn the future.

ToasterDEV · July 25, 2021, 7:04pm

Hello there, been using your build and enjoying it a lot!

Just wanted to say thanks for all the effort in getting it to work, and also a few questions.

Up until SNAPSHOT r17189-1ed9fc663e, I was able to use dockerd from Entware and host several containers from within the router, but after upgrading yesterday it seems that the kernel hash started mismatching between the installed version and the GitHub/OpenWRT opkg repositories,as trying to install the dependencies for dockerd now (I have no idea why them and several other packages uinstalled themselves) reports the following error log:

glad I was able to help..

anon50098793 · July 25, 2021, 9:38pm

on openwrt an upgrade is a "flash"... so it's likely nothing was uninstalled... just not re-installed automatically for you...

as for the other stuff... its possible there is some anomaly with the repo versioning or something... but as you mention entware... i'm wondering if I understand whats going on properly...

i've never had issue with opkg install before... so i'll test your install command and double check the repo consistency... after that we may look further into the use case and what else may be going on...

edit: works fine for me

Configuring kmod-nf-ipvs.

based on the above... i'd say you possibly have an entware related dependency issue... ( i.e. 'kernel dependant package on extroot syndrome' )... typically... entware should not be needed... and if I were doing the same... i'd just be using regular opkg for anything docker related...

just out of curiosity... how many times in total have you upgraded so far? what version did you upgrade from?

rpi4-installhistory.sh
rpi-support.sh | grep -A30 'restore-actions'
dmesg | grep -C2 -i expand

Hey, thanks for the quick reply!

To the current installation, I have upgraded just once coming from Snapshot-26567-3.2.61-70-r17073, the only unusual change I made to the image was before the ROOTFSEXPAND variable was supported was to manually expand the filesystem using the following commands:

mount -o remount,ro / #Remount root as ReadOnly
tune2fs -O^resize_inode /dev/mmcblk0p2 #Remove reserved GDT blocks
fsck.ext4 /dev/mmcblk0p2 #Fix part, answer yes to remove GDT blocks remnants
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
fdisk > p #list partitions
fdisk > d #delete the second partition, keeping track of sector start
fdisk > n 
fdisk > p
#create new primary partition from previous sector start and end at disk end
fdisk > w #write new partition table to disk
reboot
resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p2

Also, I added the variable to rc.local before the upgrade just to be sure, and took a backup for safekeeping.

The mSD card I'm using as a boot device is the following one:
SanDisk Extreme microSDXC UHS-I SDSQXA2-064G-GN6MA

Thanks for the help and Kudos!

they go in /root/wrt.ini

rc.local calls most custom build logic... alterations from the build default could render most build related stuff non-functional... (including the firstboot opkg feed file creation logic)

the stuff above should not be related to EXPAND...

suggest you;

cp /etc/rc.local.copy /etc/rc.local

and upgrade again... to ensure all build related stuff operates properly...

Alright, I see...

In cases like the IRQAFFINITY, ENABLEDSERVICES or PERFTWEAKS variables, should I move my changes as well to a different file?

Mostly out of concern for Cake_QoS SQM and packet affinity tweaks. At the moment the modifications I've done are the following:

POWERPROFILE="quickest"
#!20210330 new users get this (for now) #@!> needs bin/x.sh stop
#equivalent to FWCUSTOM aka comment out to disable all ( for now ) later will require the subactionVARS also
PERFTWEAKS=1
#PERFTWEAKS="default"
PFAFFINITY="32:1 33:2 26:f"
#PFRENICE=1
#PFSERVICECPU=1 #taskset some procs to cpu's

should already be set for you, commenting it out will likely mean you dont get any perftweaks at all... the affinity stuff was disabled (technically hardcoded) due to little or inadequate feedback as mentioned in the top post/s ( but no harm in leaving it )

only POWERPROFILE is currently honoured... and possibly PACKETSTEERING=1 i'd need to double check those...

Perfect, let me give it a go and I'll report back.

Thanks for the help!

Edit: Looks like it worked correctly! Thanks for the help. Now to continue struggling with NGINX
