Topic: Which Luci packages are necessary ?

The content of this topic has been archived on 18 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hi,

I want to install munin on my WRT54Gv2 running 8.09, but it says that he doesn´t have enough blocks. Topic
It seems that there is not enough free space.

As a solution I thought about removing all Luci packages with

opkg remove -recursive luci-*

Will my router work afterwards as before (firewall, port forwarding, DynDNS, pppoe, WLAN with PSK2)?

Any hints are welcome.

Thanks
Hans

Hi.

None of the luci components is required, you can remove them all. Unfortunately the stuff resides in rom, so you can "remove" it so that it appears to be gone but that won't free any space.

You have three options:
- Compile your custom image with the web interface left out and install munin afterwards
- Compile your custom image with munin directly included within the image which will take less space compared to an install using opkg
- Grab a snapshot build from downloads.openwrt.org, these images don't have a webinterface and will therefore occupy less space on the flash

Hi,

thanks for the reply.

Probably will try option 3, getting a snapshot. But then two questions come to my mind:

- How stable are these snapshots?
- When I flash from the command line via wget and mtd, will my configurations be lost or should flash from the web-interface to save the configurations and reinstall needed packages for psk2 and ddns?

Best Regards
hans

You can try sysupgrade.

How does this work? Is it a command? I can´t find anything in the wiki or froum. Is there a HowTo?

I tried to flash a snapshot, but then I can´t install any packages. When doing an

opkg update

I get a segmentation error, RC 139.

What can I don there?

The discussion might have continued from here.
