doesn't want to compile

Edit: haha the same patch is in ./target/linux/generic/494... which is causing the error
still nothing

I have running OpenWrt Chaos Calmer r44627 / LuCI (git-15.063.86061-b9e3aae) which is a trunk build from March 9th.
I needed to install kmod-fs-ext4, kmod-fs-vfat, and Luci-samba. Block-mount is not needed.
From there I added a mount point for the USB drive (128gb) by going to System->Mount Points
/dev/sda1 (117872 MB) /home ext4 defaults no no
Then Apply & save
On Services -> Network Shares I entered
share as the name /home as the mount point and allow guests
In the startup area System->Startup I entered mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /home
I then rebooted the router - when it came up everything was mounted and was available via samba
Under mount points shows up this way
/dev/sda1 /home 72.19 GB / 113.18 GB 33% (35.22 GB)
Don't know if this will help you but it does work on this build.
I've tried this and no love. Still new to Linux/OpenWRT not sure how to troubleshoot but I am unable to mount my drive by either LuCI or command line. If I mount from command line I get "failed: Invalid Arguement"
root@AwkoTacoBeast:/home# mount -t ext4 /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/sda1 failed: Invalid argument
Is your drive formatted ext4 and there is a directory creates named sda1 located in /mnt?

yes on both. I get that error even if I leave off the -t ext4

How do I sync time with truunk? ntp won't work
I could never get my clients to sync with sysntpd.
My fix: install ntpd (available as a package), edit ntp.conf as required, stop and disable sysntpd, then restart ntpd (and set enabled).
I want the Linksys WRT1900AC set too

It also syncs the router's clock.

Anyone knows why there is only jffs version of McWrt, and no squashfs?

Or maybe another way... If id like to build squashfs, then do I need just to enable it in config, or does McWrt miss some support for squashfs on wrt1900ac?

Is that a plain trunk image? There still isn't any official support for 4.0 in target/linux/mvebu, so I have been keeping a local branch for that. You can 'git apply' this patch:
http://staticky.com/wrt1900ac-testing/w … 4847.patch
That includes the patches necessary to build the dtb and most else of what was in patches-3.19 (fan control, etc.). It worked fine in the past, but I can't do anything but compile-test right now.
@leitec,
Thanks for maintaining the 4.0 patch. I managed to compile the latest trunk with 4.0-rc4 which just released yesterday. Just an FYI you will have to remove 019-mtd-nand-pxa3xx-Fix-PIO-FIFO-draining.patch from target/linux/mvebu/patches-4.0/ as this has been incorporated into 4.0-rc4 ( https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kerne … 2=v4.0-rc3 )
Also, I had to edit this recent patch from trunk which was copied over to support 4.0: https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/t … ?rev=44800
line 846 is missing a parameter: ubi_msg("EOF marker found, PEBs from %d will be erased",
this should read as: ubi_msg(ubi, "EOF marker found, PEBs from %d will be erased",
I've been running 4.0 for the past week now without any hangs. With 3.18 the longest I could go was 18hrs.

The patch I linked to fixes that ubi patch, but I did it the way that the other patches in that series were done upstream. I used pr_notice() instead of adding the extra parameter to ubi_msg(). I don't think it matters all that much as long as it ends up with the right message type.

@lifehacksback try this:

http://staticky.com/wrt1900ac-testing/w … Brc4.patch

apply against a clean OpenWrt tree. That's my earlier patch plus 4.0-rc4 plus @wrtpat's mwlwifi patch.

Would someone please address questions I've asked multiple times with no responses? Mainly:

1. Does anyone know why every time a kernel mod package update occurs, kmod-usb-storage-extras for the previous version disappears from the package page while every other kmod has both the old and the new version still available?

2. Why does ssl no longer work properly within Kaloz's firmware from 2/14 (wget, openssl, openvpn, easy-rsa, etc)?

At the risk of not being very helpful I checked out my present version r44873 (which has seems to have no luci even though installed) and found that opkg was able to install kmod-usb-storage-extras with the --force-depends option.

It could be that many of the best answerers are using more recent versions than you and are unable to run tests with older versions.

Good point, I never considered that and I should have [users being on a more recent firmware version].

How do I update to a newer firmware without building an image from scratch?

Just use the daily trunk/snapshot build. It is often linked to in this thread. I have two ways of choosing when to upgrade. The first is when I have to use opkg --force-depends to add software. The second is when I just feel like it. I used to get a recent positive review but don't bother with that any more.

I believe I found the right page (https://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots … u/generic/), however how do I find out which update img I need from the list?

I came across an openwrt wiki about adding user accounts, and I was wondering if it's recommended to set up an additional user and only use the root account or sudo when it's necessary. I normally do so when I've used FreeNAS/FreeBSD on my servers, but I've never done so with a router (mainly because the root password is impossible to crack at 28 hexadecimal and symbol characters and I use a 4096 encryption on SSH).

Edit: Also, is it recommended to reboot the router after installing a package, or what about installing several packages in a row?

But it's not a option

option zonename 'America/Edmonton'
option timezone 'MST7MDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0'

Doesen't work

What about it doesn't work? It works fine from the shell:

leitec@e3000:~$ TZ='MST7MDT,M3.2.0,M11.1.0' date
Wed Mar 18 14:50:16 MDT 2015
leitec@e3000:~$

(that's not a wrt1900ac, but it's OpenWrt)

On my Mac that zone string gives the same result as America/Edmonton.

Uhm, ok, but why? So does that mean if I want a strong router for mostly OpenVPN, the dual core doesnt give me any advantage? I was looking for a replacement router for my WNDR3800, because in the future I may get a 50mbit or even 100mbit VDSL line, and I route mostly all of my traffic through a VPN via OpenVPN.

Does anyone know what would cause the router web login to display a black background and auto download the luci script contained within

/www/cgi-bin/luci

I was configuring openvpn via uci, rebooted the router because I couldn't get openvpn to start, and upon trying to login via the web interface, I'm presented with a completely blank, black screen and the luci script is immediately downloaded (screenshot: http://1drv.ms/1AH90dk)

Even more baffling... stopping uhttpd does nothing and the black page still loads, downloading the luci script, and uninstalling luci does nothing either [problem persists]

Did you try /etc/init.d/system restart (or restarting the router)? That reloads the timezone config. Maybe luci doesn't do that itself (just guessing here!).

I pasted into my /etc/config/system the two lines you pasted earlier:

root@e3000:~# date
Wed Mar 18 19:36:40 EDT 2015
root@e3000:~# /etc/init.d/system restart
