Iām also using the GL-AX1800 / Flint with Firmware 4.7.0, and Iām personally having trouble due to the absence of many previously available packages. For example:
iptables-mod-ipopt
map
cryptsetup
kmod-crypto-ecb
kmod-crypto-xts
kmod-crypto-seqiv
kmod-crypto-misc
kmod-crypto-user
btrfs-progs
kmod-fs-btrfs
dumpe2fs
hd-idle
luci-app-hd-idle
luci-i18n-hd-idle-ja
kmod-usb-printer
p910nd
luci-app-p910nd
smartmontools
smartd
lsblk
fdisk
shadow-useradd
shadow-su
shadow-chsh
shadow-usermod
drill
luci-i18n-base-ja
luci-i18n-samba4-ja
As you can see, my setup uses MAP-E (map) and connects a btrfs-on-LUKS HDD and a USB printer via a USB hub.
Among these, "MAP-E / map" may be unfamiliar to some, but it is one of the protocols that provides IPv4-over-IPv6 connectivity, similar to DS-Lite. Itās especially common among internet providers in Japan. [OpenWrt Wiki] MAP IPv4-over-IPv6 encapsulation
Just to be clear, all of these packages and configurations worked perfectly as intended on Firmware 4.6.8.
I sincerely hope that the missing packagesāespecially essential ones like the aboveāwill be recompiled and made available soon.
Being able to freely use OpenWRT packages is one of the main reasons I choose GL.iNet devices in the first placeāat least for me.
In my case, after updating Flint AX-1800 to 4.7.0, I found that bind-host, and ClamAV are no longer available. Whilst ClamAV isn't a big deal, bind-host means that the router cannot update my IP address to my DDNS provider. After install, three apps are mentioned to provide the update, but none of them are available. Also, I can no longer disable DDNS in LuCi, the button remains on STOP DDNS, even after pressing it!!!!
@manderss99 I assume that is what they are doing, compiling all previous packages that were in 4.6.x, one package at a time, probably with some sort of prioritization based on input from this thread.
@PanWise even made such a comment, basically saying they are adding it all back, with prioritization based on user input.
Maybe someone from GL can give us clear guidance regarding when ALL of the packages will be available?
Same here, I was surprised that I can no longer find freeradius package
Thanks for the problem, I had to rollback to previous version and do all the setup from 0 again due to not backing up (that's my fault for not backing up before upgrading )
Iām in the same boat - still waiting on those packages we depend on. Just checked the repo stats, and it seems that after the initial flurry of activity to add the missing packages, there hasnāt been much progress in the last week (just a handful packages added but very few of those that were mentioned here). Now also considering not moving 4.7 into production, and to be honest, Iām leaning towards switching vendors for new deployments.
@PanWise: can we get some update on this from GL please?
While the luci-app-sqm package appears to be back it's cake qdisc option is missing as you can see from the screen shot below. The only qdisc option availavle is fq_codel. Please add this package with all its options back as a priority package to update. The cake qdisc was available in previous firmware.
@PanWise I would like place my vote for squid and associated pkgs. Was hoping to get a caching proxy setup for doing portable online testing for small groups via cellular tethering.
4.7.0 broke multiple capabilities that are needed for the lab, and I've had several people who use my Blog for their own labs reach out to me when they updated and their labs also broke. I've been instructing folks to down grade to v4.6.11 for now.
Packages I need -
ip-full
procps-ng-ps
bind-server
bind-tools
bash
sfdisk
rsync
resize2fs
wget
block-mount
wipefs
coreutils-nohup
etherwake
nginx-all-module
I'd like to request FRP and Cloudflared tunnel.
FRP was previously working.
Cloudflared was not previously in repo before but can be downloaded from openwrt repo as openwrt-cloudflared_2023.8.2-46_arm_cortex-a7.ipk.
Now that the architecture has changed to aarch64 a8 and my knowledge is not enough to compile ipks, please include it in the gl.inet repos or at least where and which architecture could be used. I tried many ipk files like a7, a72, a53, a8vfpv4 etc and none of them could be installed as incompatible architecture.
TIA
EDIT: I just found FRP package. Thank you.
EDIT2: I just installed Luci-app cloudflared via SSH and opkg downloaded the cloudflared ipk from GL.iNet repos and auto install it.
So both my issues were solved. I think GL.iNet support has uploaded them after I posted here because I searched twice before posting here and nothing showed up in Admin WebUI. Maybe it is still not available in the webui now, but I am not going to prove it by uninstalling my working version. I just wanna share so that other people who are searching for the same cloudflared can follow what I shared.
Thank you GL.iNet ppl and good luck to users.
Is there a v2raya or v2raya micro ipk available anywhere that is compatible with AXT1800 on 4.7.0 as aarch64_cortex-a53_neon-vfpv4.
I can't find any v2raya ipk which is compiled for that particular a53_neon-vfpv4. The previous firmware was a7L and there seems to be very little support for that too.
Currently only v2ray-core is available (for AXT1800) but I need v2raya that is compatible with the current firmware and architecture to penetrate the DPI tool the Junta has imposed.
Many thanks in advance.
If it is not available in GL.iNet repos, someone please direct me to the right place or show me where to read and follow a tutorial on how to get the v2ray-core working.
Edit: iptables-mod-filter is also not available in the repos.
