Uci: Parse error executing luci statistics

kgoerbig · November 8, 2022, 3:22pm

Greetings,

I have 22.03.2 build running on a Orange PI R1 Plus built by another user:
OPR1_Plus 22.03.2

I am trying to run luci_statistics. When I try to run the following commands:

/etc/init.d/luci_statistics restart
/etc/init.d/luci_statistics reload

I receive this error:
env: can't execute 'ucode': No such file or directory

Googled a little, and found this command to find corrupted config files:
for x in /etc/config/*; do uci show "${x##*/}" >/dev/null || echo "$x is broken"; done

I have deleted any possible corrupt file until running the above command returns no more results. I am running out of ideas of what may be the cause.

Here is my luci_statistics config:

Looks like some configuration requires the "ucode" utility, and it is not present in your device (perhaps a dependency issue); try installing the "ucode" package.

kgoerbig · November 9, 2022, 3:14pm

opkg install ucode

Now I'm getting:

You need ucode-mod-fs as well.

Installed both modules:

Tried to restart luci_statistics and get this error:

ucode-mod-uci as well

jow · November 10, 2022, 2:20pm

As a final remark - only master/snapshot versions of luci-app-statistics require ucode. You mentioned "22.03.2 build" in the opening message, so you should use 22.03 packages of LuCI too, not snapshot ones.

AcidSlide · December 4, 2022, 4:17am

Hello.. i'm having the same issue.. luci_statistics won't start and I'm using the latest snapshot build

no error when doing restart or reload for luci_statistics but I'm getting the following errors too:

I've already checked the mentioned ucode packages but they are included in the snapshot build and are already installed.

AcidSlide · December 5, 2022, 3:31am

Just in case somebody comes across this.. the issue is with the latest snapshot version of collectd. I've manually re-installed the collectd package from the release versions for 22.03 and everything worked again.

lleachii · December 5, 2022, 8:44am

To be clear, do you mean that you upgraded packages and it caused an issue?

hnyman · December 5, 2022, 8:54am

The packages are intended to use with the same branch that they are compiled for.
master packages should be used with master snapshot firmwares, while a release 22.03 branch firmware would need 22.03 packages.

What is your exact firmware?
and what is you Luci_statistics config?
(which statistics you are measuring? you mention ucode, so something regarding firewall / oiptables ?)

Does the error go away, if you disable just that one problematic stats module? (firewall, iptables, ucode, whatever)

As there has not been a general flood about complaint about luci statistics, it is likely something related to your build, installed stats packages and specific config.

AcidSlide · December 5, 2022, 1:56pm

I've updated my router using the latest master/snapshot (custom build) and that's when the issue started with collectd. Last time I did this was almost a year ago.

I thought the issue was with luci_statistics when I came across this thread. Only after doing a manual install using this for my router, that's when everything worked again.

AcidSlide · December 5, 2022, 2:04pm

I'm using the master/snapshot for a custom build for my current main router Newifi D2 and all the packages in my build also uses the master/snapshot. Last time I updated my router was almost a year ago, the issue started after installing the updated build.

I only mentioned them because I read in one of the post here in the thread, it's needed for the snapshot builds of luci_statistics.

I'm only using a couple of stats, Processor, System Load, Memory, Interface, Wireless and Ping.

Again, I would like to re-iterate, everything started working again without changing any of the configs only after manually installing (via opkg --force-reinstall) the pre-built release version of collected in version 22.03.

My firmware is based on mipsel_24kc
