Hi,
Upgraded erlite using cli sysupgrade because the GUI gave me warnings: 'operation failed; no right to upload'
cli sysupgrade started but killed the ssh link
Nevertheless, the device booted and I had soon access via ssh again. No GUI though. How to recover?
I build my image like so:
wget https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0-rc2/targets/octeon/generic/openwrt-imagebuilder-24.10.0-rc2-octeon-generic.Linux-x86_64.tar.zst
tar --zstd -xvf openwrt-imagebuilder-24.10.0-rc2-octeon-generic.Linux-x86_64.tar.zst
cd openwrt-imagebuilder-24.10.0-rc2-octeon-generic.Linux-x86_64/
md files
cd files/
untgz /tmp/backup-OpenWrt-*.tar.gz
cd ..
make image PROFILE="ubnt_edgerouter-lite" PACKAGES="mc" FILES="files"
cp -v bin/targets/octeon/generic/*.tar /tmp/
make clean
cd ..
And this was the resulting image I build:
$ ll mkwrt/*24*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 18339840 5 déc 11:49 openwrt-24.10.0-rc2-octeon-generic-ubnt_edgerouter-lite-squashfs-sysupgrade.tar
Has the upgrade finished? Or do you think it failed?
And...
Does the DHCP server work (i.e. can your computer get an IP from the ER)?
If so, are you able to ping the device?
Where did the "files" come from (specifically, what version of OpenWrt)? What was in them? It looks like you took a backup and then built those files into the image... they might not have been compatible, so it would be good to see what you baked in.
Can you connect via ssh?
Hi,
I would think it has finished. The router rebooter and I have internet access again.
And...
Does the DHCP server work (i.e. can your computer get an IP from the ER)?I use static IPs but yes,
If so, are you able to ping the device?Yes, no problem
Where did the "files" come from (specifically, what version of OpenWrt)? What was in them? It looks like you took a backup and then built those files into the image... they might not have been compatible, so it would be good to see what you baked in.Config files from 23.0.5, custom IPs, new firewall rules, ...
Can you connect via ssh?Sure can
I do have internet access as usual.
I had to install uhttpd, it was not present after upgrade. Likely other packages could be missing.
opkg update
opkg install uhttpd
/etc/init.d/uhttpd restart
Still no GUI. I see that instead:
Index of /
../

directory - 3.41 kbyte
I would recommend using scp to copy a standard/default image to your device, then use ssh to flash it, not preserving settings. Then re-create the configuration -- some things you may be able to copy/paste directly into place, but you should be selective and intentional about it as it is possible some of the syntax has changed.
Thanks,
That would be one of my last options. I have heavy customisation and if my config and network setup isn't preserved, chances are all the IPs will change on reboot and I can't access nothing anymore.
From the installed package list, is there something obviously missing?

I don't see any LuCI stuff installed.
This should be part of the consideration when doing major upgrades... you need to make sure that the file syntax is correct, and it's best to start fresh and then restore the related files.
I also don't recommend baking the files into the image because it could result in a brick if things aren't quite right... instead, just preserve settings on the upgrade, if you believe everything to be safe.

My point precisely. What are the required packages?
Typically, this question comes up for snapshots... it should be the same answer for your situation:
Read the link for instructions how to install Luci, which is not installed by default in snapshots.

This should be fixed!
