Unable to install kmd-fs-ext4

Hello,

For 4.3 build Spitz/Mudi, it fails to download packages for “opkg update”, so kmod-fs-ext4 cannot be installed.

Trying to sideload kmod-fs-ext4 into /tmp folder then execute, it gives the following error message:

root@GL-X750:/tmp# opkg install kmod-fs-ext4_5.10.176-1_mips_24kc.ipk
Unknown package ‘kmod-fs-ext4’.
Collected errors:

  • pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency kernel (= 5.10.176-1-85703b998fa54b6f2c1131f83b0a7d11) for kmod-fs-ext4
  • pkg_hash_check_unresolved: cannot find dependency kmod-lib-crc16 for kmod-fs-ext4
  • pkg_hash_fetch_best_installation_candidate: Packages for kmod-fs-ext4 found, but incompatible with the architectures configured
  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-fs-ext4.

anyone had any idea on how to overcome this issue and force kmod-fs-ext4? currently unable to recognize USB storage, and thus no extroot and /overlay possiblity.

Your manual attempt at installation has unmet dependencies (eg: kmod-lib-crc16). “[…] but incompatible with the architectures configured” is also a bit worrisome. It’s better to do this while online.

opkg update is required to refresh the feed/repo listing prior to opkg install $package. What happens when you run opkg install kmod-fs-ext4 after doing so?

opkg update && opkg install kmod-fs-ext4

Hi,
It fails to download packages @ “upkg update” command:

Subsequently, “opkg install kmod-fs-ext4” command gives the following error:

  • opkg_install_cmd: Cannot install package kmod-fs-ext4.

any ideas?

Oh WTF! Unless you’re having some sort of really weird Internet connectivity issues, I’d guess those packages or their indexes aren’t in GL’s 22.03’s feeds yet. A new 4.3.2 snapshot went up yesterday.

I’m going to have to bow out here. Try pinging GL: @yuxin.zou or @alzhao .

Packages with beta firmware may not be uploaded in the first place for updates because the firmware is compiled too often.
The developers are already working on it, and these packages will be uploaded at a later date.
