sorry for the missing err msg. i'll post it in the evening when i'm at home :-)

it was something like wget: missing URL
wget Ussage: bla bla

I also tried wget -d -P http://nslu2..../Packages.gz, but the same err. msg.

Here is the error msg:
---
[root@server /]$ ipkg update
Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/op...le/Packages.gz
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.
An error ocurred, return value: 1.

and here with wget:
---
[root@server /]$ wget http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/Packages.gz--16:02:35-- http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/oleg/cross/stable/Packages.gz

Packages.gz: Permission denied

Cannot write to `Packages.gz' (No such file or directory).

I've tried to post my error msg yesterday. but it didn't work *?*

The error is, that I (root) did not have write permission! "ipkg update" can not write. "ls -la" or "mount" shows me that I have wirte permission. "touch test.txt" did not work - no permission !?!

When I open a file (for ex. etc/hosts) and edit it. That works. I can edit and save it back.

What is that, that the root user does not have write permission.:confused:

Probably this:
without copying /opt to /shares/MYVOLUME1/opt you will be left with a read-only, not-writable directory /opt.

Ok, thank you. I'll try it.
Another question: In the original ASUS firmware only the generated user can access the ftp. but in kc's also the admin can log in.
where can I configure that, that only those users which I have "made" can log in to the ftp?

OK, thank you. worked great - but:
now, after i could update and upgrade all the pakages. i can not login via ssh. only telnet. how can i fix this? thanks a lot!

I did what you did. That is, first I logged in with ssh. No problem.
Then I did ipkg update. No problem.
The I did ipkg upgrade. Problem....
I had my Asus left alone quite a while, so apparently also dropbear (that does the ssh shuffle) was upgraded. When ipkg tried to configure it, I got:

Code:

Configuring dropbear mkdir: cannot create directory '/root': Operation not permitted

and I was thrown out!
And like you I could not get in anymore with ssh. After login in with telnet I could not do sudo.
To fix this:
Login with telnet as root
do ipkg upgrade once more. You'll notice that ipkg does it all over. But now it can finish gracefully.

Here ends my lesson. Ugh, that is wrong. Should we have to conclude that upgrading is only safe with telnet?

Code:

Configuring dropbear mkdir: cannot create directory '/root': Operation not permitted

That's the same msg i get.

But when i try again with telnet, ipkg sad that there is no upgrade needed.
The only way that helps me is to remove the opt directory from shares/MY...
reboot and copy the opt again.
if i directly upgrade ipkg from telnet it shows the same err msg again.

when i upgrade ipkg without upgrading dropbear and sudo (keep current version) than its ok. but also it shows the err msg!

I had the same experience when I run ipkg upgrade. I have tried to re-set administrator password via web interface and my SSH is back now. Also one has to keep in mind that it takes pretty a while when the router boots up and dropbear is started (something like 3-4min).

i know that ;)
but in my case it is not a password problem. the ssh port 22 is rejected.
i'm not a pro in linux - only a greenhorn :o
so i do not know a lot about that what ipkg does or what i can do to reconfigure dropbear.

i only want to keep my packages up to date and install and configure syslog-ng. i found a thread for installing and configure syslog-ng. but that didnt work for me.

so i'll keep try'in :D

and thanks a lot for your help!

Do you mean this thread?

I have syslog-ng installed and configured it with this info. (Although I never bothered to get it running, because i don't use the Asus as my primary router)

You're right.
For what ist?
2. edit the postinstall-script - take no effect
3. finish the ipkg installation - take no effect

EDIT: Now it works...
