[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[L3rd]

Nice tutorial, but now transmission is bringing the cpu to 100%.
Every time I operate on the web interface I have a new "transmission.cgi" and "busybox_httpd" between my tasks:

Any idea?

[wengi]

There is a prob with transmission.cgi hanging after loading some kb of the webinterface.
I didnt solve this until now because i have no idea where to start from.

If you use ctrl+c to exit lynx or close your browser the transmission.cgi is hanging and using 100% CPU.

killall transmission.cgi

will help...

PS: The download itself is working normaly...

[L3rd]

I know that the download is working fine, but without a web interface it is impossible to choose something to download and so on.
Are you using a different web interface for transmission?

[wengi]

No. i am using the command line atm.
But i am going to post a thread for this.

Hi,

there was a change in S05syslog:
Loglevel has to be 7 for transmission to log properly

please check:

OPTIONS="-m 0 -O $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE -S -l 7 -s 0"

Hi Wengi,

Please look at this piece from your startup script for syslog:

# Startup script for syslog
...
LOGFILE=messages.log
KERNLOGFILE=kern.log
LOG_OLD=/tmp
LOG_NEW=/opt/var/log
...
# Copy old syslog and create symlink to new
if [ ! -L /tmp/syslog.log ]; then
cat $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE >> $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE
mv $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE $LOG_NEW/$KERNLOGFILE
ln -s $LOG_NEW/$LOGFILE $LOG_OLD/$LOGFILE
fi
...

If you REALLY want the name messages for syslog you need to use:
LOGFILE_OLD=syslog.log
LOGFILE_NEW=messages.log
But IMHO LOGFILE=syslog.log is an better approach!

Otherwise, many thanks for your work in community service...

[wengi]

Hi,

you are right. And logrotate also had the wrong filename.
I changed both to syslog.log.

messages was for historical reasons and transmission....

wengi

[Serpent]

messages was for historical reasons...

Yes I know, I'm still searching for logs in /var/adm/messages...

[nunbaggi]

Hi..
I think transmission is very slow downloadind..
Is it only possible to download one torrent at the time??

[wengi]

No,

you can download multiple torrents at the same time.
check your conf file.

USB stick not found

I installed last ver of Oleg fw..i schoose the steps to install dropbear..everything was ok..
1.i insert the USB stik, after i connected the cord extension..and i was wondering why doesn't blinck the stick..the led isn't show me that is worrking..
2.i wanna make partitions via a test stick with 256 mb..but i can't do fdisk cause i can't see the disk.. df show me only 3008..or some..not usb stick

what should i do?
p.s...samba and ftp disabled..as it should ...!

[wengi]

Hi,

which hardware are you using?
please post results of

lsmod
ls -la /dev/discs

This will show if the usb modules are loaded and which discs are known.
Also check your syslog for usb-specific entries.

hello wengi, I used your tutorial already a few months back ago.
because I saw you changed some stuff, I tried to set up the way you did it.
I noticed after a reboot that nothing was mounted for some reason and that's why I made a mix of your new how-to and old one.
it's working fine now, exept for 1 thing:

1096 root 32 R cat /tmp/syslog.log

this thing is coming up every time I start a reboot, or just randomly.
it uses almoast 100% of the cpu and writes full my whole /opt
I have 4gb of /opt space, but it just keeps writing till it has more than 3.5gb!

[wengi]

check your /opt/etc/init.d/S05syslogd and use the new version.

I do NOT recommend a mix of old and new files/configurations!!!

wengi

So where do I get this new syslog from? till I used your old boot version I had no problems, the only thing I touched the couple of days is the boot section.

also /usr/local/sbin/post-mount is NOT executed at boot, while it's executable.
therefor I use post-boot with the old startupscript.
also your newer boot files don't contain the drobear start neither does it contain the scsi mod to start usb drives

EDIT:
never mind about the syslog, I found it
