Thanks but i already have that link. It doesnt like the page is being maintained. On this thread i see people are already using images with kernel 3.19.. Whereas on that wiki page it still shows 3.18 images.

Only nitroshift has rolled one so far, and he said he was "running my own image based on it but still in tests" - so nothing public yet.

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be something publically available soon smile

Automatic fan control

Tested with CHAOS CALMER (Bleeding Edge, r43974) 3.18.2


Create 2 files "fan_control" and "fan_monitor"

<snip>

Thanks gufus!

PS - people will need to:

chmod ugo+rx /etc/init.d/fan_control
chmod ugo+rx /usr/sbin/fan_monitor

after creating said files with said content.

Yes smile

Bizarrely I just checked my router and it had very low temps - around 30 degrees for all three monitors.

Checked fan and it was on full.

Waited, expecting it to turn off after the next poll, but it just kept going.

Manually set the fan to off and stopped the startup script.

No idea what was wrong - the script logic looked sound from my skim of it.

It was when I checked (before I then killed it), and the pid matched the one in /tmp/fan_monitor_pid

Have manually turned it off for now as the router is in a bedroom and I don't want it screaming on in the night.

Will maybe try restarting the scripts again in the morning.

just an fyi to compile kernel 3.19 do: nano target/linux/mvebu/Makefile

then change kernel_version: 3.19-rcN (change N to the current rc version until it is officially released)

Is there support for NTFS files? I have a external usb drive that I have attached to my router. I was using  Kaloz's evolving snapshots but there wasnt support for NTFS. When I tried installing it, it said I had the wrong kernel. Still think the one in the repo is for 3.14. Any updates on this?

I was using a HFS+ drive and had the same issue.

Using a terminal I force installed it, and it worked fine.  The only reason I changed is that there was no hfstools package and I was too lazy to learn how to set up gcc to compile my own.  I ended up copying everything over to an ext4 partition.

The command you would need to enter would be

opkg --force-depends install kmod-fs-ntfs

I know that for a production machine this is a big no no - you shouldn't use kernel modules from different versions, but if it works?

...so I just tried to install kmod-fs-ntfs, turns out I'm on an older build ???

Firmware Version:  OpenWrt Chaos Calmer r43823 / LuCI Master (git-14.359.33351-5e6c33e)

Collected errors:

I used the force command, originally I tried with sa command... didn't like that, but I tried again with out. Still no drive listmor available ???

Why does make kernel_menuconfig not work under 3.19-rc5?

@lifehacksback

There is no need for "-rcN" in Makefile as in /trunk/include/kernel-version.mk is declared the 3.19 subversion to be used.

nitroshift

@nitroshift

really? I'll try again because my download failed when i didn't specify.

I know this isn't the thread for this but could someone help me debug this? I've been searching for hours where to input this " -rpath or -rpath-link" and I just cant seem to find it. Plus This thread is so lively and filled with great developers!

Thanks!

@lifehacksback

Download runs fine here...

nitroshift

I've added .19 support for testing purposes. It's unlikely to ever become the default, CC seems to receive 3.18, and DD will likely be 3.2x.

Thanks @Kaloz! smile

How can i install and enable snmp on the openwrt build for the wrt1900 ?

@gufus
I have this error message:

'bin/sh: can't open '/etc/rc.common

Can you help me?

@Kaloz

For some strange reason I can't compile an image anymore with 3.19 kernel. It ALWAYS errors out at "/stamp/.package compile" stage. Any advice?

Hey Guys , Loving this thread so far!
I am running the following :

Model    Linksys WRT1900AC (Mamba)
Firmware Version    OpenWrt Chaos Calmer r43823 / LuCI Master (git-14.359.33351-5e6c33e)
Kernel Version    3.18.1

Tried to Install the Tee Model for Iptables (  i want to mirror all traffic to a snort Sensor)
While installing - i got the error that kernel needed should be 3.14+ (and im running 3.18) I managed to install it by forcing the installation And it looks as if it is installed - (Did with opkg - ignore dependencies flag)



Remove    ip6tables    1.4.21-1
Remove    iptables    1.4.21-1
Remove    iptables-mod-tee    1.4.21-1

However - when trying to use it i see it is actually not installed , could you help me troubleshoot or suggest another way to mirror porting all the traffic ?

Thanks!

Does anyone here use team viewer? I have a strange issue.
My home computer is behind the wrt1900ac router now, running Chadsters AA release.
From work when i use teamviewer to connect to my computer, the session is closed after exactly 6 seconds. I've been using this for years and its always worked. The only thing different on the network was the router.

EDIT. issue turned out to be on the remote computer side. Not related to openwrt.

I use it but don't connect to the house that way. I RDP to my WHS and then go from there. I dont' have any issues with that to my house either..

try with --force-depends

You'll still get the error message, but it should (hopefully!) have still installed.
