SOLVED - gl.inet Image Builder - repo confusion

Technical Support for Routers

I used the gl.inet supplies image builder for a MT300N and built new firmware. My problem is after building using the gl.inet image builder, I am seeing errors when trying to use packages.

I was still able to install a package but seeing those errors above. However, note that the following is the contents of the repo file which is all gl.inet locations which is what was used when building. Sp, why is this happening?

the image builder uses openwrt default repo. You need to change this in your “files” folder.

Just check /etc/opkg* and find out which file your firmware is using, and make a default config file and compile it in your firmware.

it may be /etc/opkg.conf or /etc/opkg/*

In the image builder I downloaded form the gl.inet site, the default locations in the repo file are all set to gl.inet.
On the device itself, after the build, the files are set to openwrt.

cat /etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf

However, when I try to update, I get errors.

Does the gl.inet image builder come with the wrong keys or something along those lines perhaps?

no. You need to change the file /etc/opkg/dist.conf and put in your files

with the following content.

src/gz chaos_calmer_base http://www.gl-inet.com/openwrt/ramips/2.20/packages/base
src/gz chaos_calmer_luci http://www.gl-inet.com/openwrt/ramips/2.20/packages/luci

You still used openwrt repo above.

The gl.inet image builder package does come with a repo file called repositories.conf which contains gl.inet repos. However, once you build, the repo generated in /etc/opkg are all openwrt.

So, now I think you are telling me I need to edit /etc/opkg/dist.conf but this file does not exist so I assume you mean distfeeds.conf.
I’m assuming you simply made a typo so I’ve now added a files/etc/opkg/distfeeds.conf in my build using the gl.inet repo.
In testing, this allowed the opkg update command to run so, I am now going to create a new build and see how things go.

yes, you are right.

Ok, then it’s fine now. I’ve updated my build to reflect our conversation. Thank you for your input on this.
