OPKG update failed - MT2500

jhedfors · 2023-07-26T15:58:22.564Z

jhedfors:

It’s been over 4 months - I wonder why this hasn’t been fixed…

@lizh Any update that you can provide?

bring.fringe18 · 2023-07-26T20:23:18.356Z

Hey, you haven’t had any troubles pulling packages when installing, right? Can you post the output of your Brume 2’s opkg feeds & help @jhedfors out?

cat /etc/opkg.conf
cat /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf
cat /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

@jhedfors

You can compare them against your own via LuCI → System → Software → Software → Actions → Configure opkg…

jhedfors:

[…] how did you install the plugins if you can not update the software list? Did you upload the package from somewhere?

You can install single packages thru that same page (‘Download and install package:’) but it’s not always advisable as sometimes other packages are required to be pulled down as dependencies.

bring.fringe18:

cat /etc/opkg.conf

cat /etc/opkg/customfeeds.conf

cat /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

Yes, I am able to pull packages when installing.

It appears that you have the same default sources that I do. When I refresh in GL GUI, I get:
“Failed to update repository list, please check your network and try again.”

When I attempt to Update lists… in Luci I get:

The opkg update command failed with code 3.

What am I missing? I was expecting you may have added custom sources, but it does not seem so.

I just ran Luci-update lists:

ssh into your Brune and run a ping out to the internet. Just to check connectivity.

jhedfors · 2023-07-27T17:25:21.498Z

So I SSH into router and at the root@GL-MT2500 prompt I type “ping Google com” and I get "ping: bad address ‘google.com’

What should I check now?

bbwolfe · 2023-07-27T17:29:10.779Z

I do not think your issue is with your Brune, but instead how your set up with your WAN.

How are you physically connected? Are you using your Brune as your main router connected to your service providers modem?

jhedfors · 2023-07-27T17:35:06.854Z

Yes Brume is my main router (router mode) connected from my modem/router (bridge mode}. I have then connected my Google Nest Wifi (in bridge mode) connected to the LAN port.

bbwolfe · 2023-07-27T17:38:18.135Z

Apologies ahead of time, if I misunderstand something you type.

If you go into Luci and look at Network>Network mode, is it set to Router?

jhedfors · 2023-07-27T17:42:09.081Z

I don’t see that path in Luci, but in GL GUI it shows Router mode

bbwolfe · 2023-07-27T17:44:41.762Z

My mistake, yes, GL GUI.
How about Network>Multi-WAN. Does Ethernet show with a blue/green dot (as active)?

jhedfors · 2023-07-27T17:45:48.418Z

Yes it is active, and everything is working ok otherwise.

bbwolfe · 2023-07-27T17:47:22.263Z

And your main Internet page shows your pathway as active and the bottom of the screen shows: Using as WAN, Change to LAN?

jhedfors · 2023-07-27T17:48:18.391Z

Just disabled Adguard for fun, and ping started working…

… And software updates as well.

Thanks for your help! First time working with Adguard. Should it work with it still on?

bbwolfe · 2023-07-27T17:50:37.440Z

Update lists working now?

jhedfors · 2023-07-27T17:51:40.584Z

Yes, it is working now. Should it work with Adguard on?

bbwolfe · 2023-07-27T17:53:19.058Z

I have Adguard enabled (top button) but not the second option on that page, “AdGuard Home Handle Client Requests”, and mine is working.

Good job on finding what was blocking your connectivity!

jhedfors · 2023-07-27T17:55:08.180Z

Thanks again for your help - I really appreciate it!

bbwolfe · 2023-07-27T17:56:17.478Z

I fully understand hitting a wall like that. Just need someone to walk through the issue with is all.
