Hello,

Since the GL repo updates, some plugins probably have been removed, we will re-compile these plugins for the AXT1800 v4.7.0.

Thanks.
Please await.

Hi, same problem here with other packages, e.g. luci-app-statistics and all collectd related.

6

update, my packages are installed except for iperf3 which remain missing.

however my sd card (sandisk 8db) is no longer mounted or visible after upgrading, worked fine with previous firmware.

pls look into this.

7

iperf3 added
May I ask what file format your sd card is in?

8

@manderss99:
Hi, I just tried iperf3 and it installed OK, same for a few others from your list that overlap with our requirement.

@bruce:
The packages that we need are still not available (I mentioned some of these earlier).
Do we need to provide a full list of packages that are required? This wasn't an issue prior to v4.7.0 as pretty much all was available in the repo so it would be good to know what are your plans with making it available moving forward.
Thanks

9

We are adding plugins that worked fine before. The list you provided will be prioritized to try to add it, and not all plugins may be able to be added back fast enough.

Thanks for the help, that clears things up.

iperf3 is ok now, missing git for now.

on android aida64 app it say sdfat, I assume this is another name for exfat but its several years since i formatted it so not completely sure.
I also have an usb drive that is ntfs which is a hit and miss, sometimes it gets mounted on reboot and sometimes not, below is after a reboot when the drive was not mounted:

rebooted again, this time it was mounted ok, still no sd card though:

Hello,

Package ddns-scripts ; luci-app-ddns are missing too :confused:

Can you compile it ?

Thx

14

Please add all these for Flint. They worked fine before:

  • cJSON
  • coreutils-stat
  • ddns-scripts-services
  • ddns-scripts
  • etherwake
  • iputils-ping
  • kmod-crypto-md5
  • libmosquitto-ssl
  • libwebsockets-openssl
  • luci-app-ddns
  • luci-app-mosquitto
  • luci-app-tinyproxy
  • luci-app-watchcat
  • luci-app-wol
  • luci-lib-ipkg
  • mosquitto-client-ssl
  • mosquitto-ssl
  • nping
  • sshpass
  • tinyproxy
  • watchcat

It is nonsense to provide single packages though, just recompile ALL packages which were there before.

The following collectd modules are still missing:

collectd-mod-df
collectd-mod-entropy
collectd-mod-exec
collectd-mod-ipstatistics
collectd-mod-iptables
collectd-mod-ping
collectd-mod-thermal
collectd-mod-uptime
rng-tools

Also, no python3-light (plus modules).

It seems they just removed literally like 95% of packages instead "of a few". Unbelievable.

Struggling with basic firmware while in another thread they ask for input regarding design of “enterprise” class devices :rofl:

We call that irony.

Dear GL: you have a serious firmware problem. It is not only affecting Slate AX, the problem is is systemic.

I really hope someone is paying attention and grasping the depth of the problem - and cares enough to start implementing solutions.

To be fair, they did mention that they are addressing the issue, prioritizing the items we listed here (see @PanWise earlier). However, it's true that many people select these otherwise great devices specifically for the ability to customize them (OpenWRT). This means we depend on additional packages, and a firmware upgrade should not strip us of these packages...

I noticed that yesterday there were over 100 new packages added, which is great to see. I hope the remaining packages will be added into the repository soon.

However, could you please prioritise the following:
nmap
syslog-ng
logrotate
python3-* modules (currently, we only have the base python-light package)

Great to see the packages are being repopulated. It should never have happened, but it is nice to see the resolution is progressing quickly.

Thanks!
