[HowTo] Install and configure Oleg's firmware

[wengi]

Hi,

"Unable to find recent transfer stats in syslog" is normal if you didnt dl torrents before.

It seems that transmission can not write to the WORK directory.
Check permissions of the WORK directory and have a look at your syslog for errors.

Hi,

Thanks for a tools you proposed me.

First thing I haven't known before - OK than.
Work is configured through chmod, I did it by collective command: chmod -R ugoa+w /tmp/harddisk/torrent

In syslog (/opt/var/log/syslog.log) I have there errors:

Jun 6 10:25:34 xinetd[201]: Error parsing attribute user - DISABLING SERVICE [file=/opt/etc/xinetd.d/swat] [line=7]

[Kubicz]

But than I have no problem. At the end I've been posting log from last reboot after initializing DHCP server.

I found an article on http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Transmission and problem might be cause because my root account is not "admin/root", but "kubicz". I was trying to find to change something in "transmission.cgi" but without result!

Hi,

The download speed is very low on my wl 500gp V2 with 1.9.2.7-10 firmware. I followed wengi's guide for setting up my sistem (asus + HDD).

the same torrent: on pc I get 137 - 152kb/s and 34 peers dl from 11 (using uTorrent) and on asus I get 9 - 15kb/s and 5 peers dl from 2.
another torrent: on PC 1,3 - 2Mb/s 1194 peers dl from 36, and on asus .... 11 peers dl from 1 at 6.6 kb/s


What am I missing?

I have transmission setup without using admin for the username. Make sure to check the transmission_watchdog entry in the crontab file and change admin to your username. I also have transmission in a non-standard folder from the server so it doesn't appear to have anything hardcoded. It also worked fine downloading at 50KB/sec (I set that limit). The major thing I was concerned about is how the router would handle it. In the past I had issue with too many things running and torrents now so I didn't know how it would handle but it appears to have done fine last night.

Configuration:

IPv6 enabled (radvd is running)
Lighttpd server w/ php FCGI (eaccelerator enabled, 8080 external, 8081 internal)
2 SSH servers w/ SFTP (one internal -- one external)
Cron jobs
Transmission torrent client using Lighttpd for interface

A crap load of additional stuff including a, hopefully working, build environment. Memory is pretty much full but the system has been going over to swap as I had hoped.

The attached file is how I got cgi working in lighttpd (I know some had questions about it). Note that it only defines the .cgi extension. I assume that if you want to do .pl files as well you would install perl and add it to my file since it already enables mod_cgi. If you need additional information then you can always check the lighttpd docs @ http://trac.lighttpd.net/trac/wiki/Docs

This was probably not a reply to my post, because I can't use anything you written down there.

My crontab contains raw:

*/30 * * * * kubicz nice transmission_watchdog, but by "ps" command I see no transmission process running.

Will not change my admin account from "kubicz" to "admin", because I had to change settings in many apps I have on my ASUS.

I am using default busybox_httpd instead of an additional lighthttpd.

[shinji257]

Your right. I must of been out of it that night. Anyways your crontab looks fine. It is working ok using a username other than admin for me as well. I actually run it in low priority too ( I won't go into detail). Here is the contents of the section of code that controls the log list.

# Show transfer log from log file
# Replace "transmissiond" with "transmission" if all logs are preferred
_log ()
{

if [ ! -r ${SYSLOG} ]; then
  echo "<p>${SYSLOG} not readable. Properly configure syslogd at "
  echo "system startup.</p>"
  return

echo "</pre>"

if [ ! -x ${GNUPLOT} ]; then
  echo "<p>gnuplot: ${GNUPLOT} not found. Properly configure paths "
  echo "in transmission.conf for transfer graphing!</p>"
  return
fi

echo "<p>Creating graph...</p>"

quit 
__EOF__

${GNUPLOT} ${GNUPLOT_COMMAND}

echo "<img src=\"${HTTP_IMG_LOCATION}\">"

}

Note the lines in bold.

The first one calls sed and parses the system log. Looks like GNUPLOT_DATA may not be set. Also the same goes for the second one but instead referring to GNUPLOT_COMMAND. Give me a sec and I'll rig up the function with some debug lines to see what those settings are being recorded as. Maybe even show us the command lines that are being attempted.

EDIT: I've rigged up the _log() function with echo lines that will output the current value of the variables used in this function as well as the command lines as they are being executed. I did not bother to echo back the contents of the file that was being created yet. I can always add that. I did check and the file works fine even with these lines added.

Anyways backup your current copy of transmission.cgi and use the one that is attached instead. Try checking the Log area then copy and paste in the bolded lines in the file. These are the ones that I need to see what might be wrong.

P.S. - I could probably do this all over the place if I really wanted to. I kinda got used to the way the script is coded and can get around pretty easily now. Oleg did a good job organizing it.

[shinji257]

Ok guys. I am going to setup a secure openssh configuration similar to the dropbear one and I'll post the details here. Right off the bat you would want the following packages installed (plus dependencies).

openssh
openssh-sftp-server
scponly

I'll also cover doing a chroot configuration for scponly using scponlyc. I think I have the chroot environment already however it doesn't appear to work with dropbear. It drops the connection when it tries to chroot.

This is a directory listing of my chroot environment. In includes the vital items including their current working location. It was generated from my current tar archive that I will use to recreate it every time the router reboots. Currently it has dropbear instead of openssh in it. This will change once I have openssh working. The nice thing with openssh is that I should be able to re-create my current setup (2 ports -- 2 different configurations) with one sshd server and one sshd_config file. Hopefully.

There are alot of links there because of dropbear and busybox.

Hi,

transmission is not started directly after restart. It normaly depends on the cron entry. E.g. if the watchdog is started hourly, transmission will be started the next full hour after thr reboot.

If you want to start it directly after the reboot: Add transmission_watchdog to your post-boot.

Hi,
I have transmission_watchdog in post-boot, but it doesn't start after reboot

And some questions:
- If i have a power loss, when the power comes back againt, transmission won't start automaticaly, it is normal?
- Has Samba 2 (ipkg) has issues with VISTA?
- It is possible to have instead of "listening_port" somethink like "port_range", in transmission? I hope that in this way the download speed could increase, by accesing not only one defined port.
- What is the best way, and first the safest, for accesing files, stored on my hdd, attached on wl 500 gp, from wan?

Thank you

Hi Everybody,


I was tried to install Oleg custom firmware v1.9.2.7-10 on my WL-700gE, but I could not, always appears this error message:

"An error was detecting during the upgrade.
The firmware has NOT been succesfully changed."

What can cause this error?

Hi,

@metamorphose:
Never had this before. Make sure you have the right firmware and try the asus recovery tool.

@bogd_A:
- if watchdog is in post-boot and transmission is not paused: It should be started on reboot.
- As far as i know the newest samba2 works with vista. But i don't have vista.. But you could use the samba integrated with olegs -10 and up. He fixed the vista issues in the orig firm. see changelog.
- transmission uses only one port. As far as i know this is by design. oleo is your man for further questions.
- the most secure way is ssh/scp. Also sftp is secure. I use ssh and winscp from wan.

I have watchdog in post-boot, it is not paused but won't start on reboot, I'll recheck when i'll get back home -
It will not start at reboot

As for samba, I like in samba 2 the feature of password protected folders, and this is what it is not working with VISTA, if i don't password protect folders it works, but on XP I can't acces shared folders, not with integrated samba or samba 2 - i get a logon window, with user: name_of_ASUS\guest - not editable and password: and nothing works.
It is a way of pasword protect folders using samba integrated in oleg's firmware, and do you have a solution for the XP acces?

About transmission, it is normal to do:
Jun 16 20:49:27 transmission_watchdog: Transmission daemon restarted!
Jun 16 20:00:10 transmission_watchdog: Transmission daemon restarted!
Jun 16 18:00:10 transmission_watchdog: Transmission daemon restarted!
Jun 16 14:00:10 transmission_watchdog: Transmission daemon restarted!
Jun 16 10:30:15 transmission_watchdog: Transmission daemon restarted!
but the roter wasn't restarted, and it wasn't the case of a power loss, after restart of transmission_watcdog i get Checking files ... and it takes a long time to do this.

And finaly about the speed in transmission, at upload I have speeds of 120 - 400kb/s (after setting UPLOAD_SPEED=41 I get 41kb/s - max for upload), but on download ... best was 40 - 50 kb/s (total) from 2 downloading torrents ... I don't know what to check any ideea?

in transmission.conf I have:
DOWNLOAD_SPEED=-1
UPLOAD_SPEED=41
ENCRIPTION=-e

my /usr/local/sbin/post-firewall looks like:
#!/bin/sh
## FIREWALL
## set default policy
iptables -P INPUT DROP
## deny ftp access from WAN
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp -i "$1" --syn --dport 21 -j DROP
## Allow access to various router services from WAN
for P in 65534; do
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --syn -i "$1" --dport $P -j ACCEPT
done

And on ASUS web page, under NAT Setting - Virtual Server, I have at Virtual server list:
Port Range: 65534
Local IP: IP of ASUS
Local Port: 65534
Protocol: BOTH

Is anything wrong with this set-up, and what else should I do?


What the numbers of "20:30:26 up 21:28, load average: 3.56, 3.04, 2.55" means, what is cpu, mem ... load?

Can you help me with a how to, step by step config of ssh and winscp, if you have the time



Thank you

Hi wengi,


to tell the truth I must tell that kfurge custom firmware was on my router (I love it, however I am curious, that's why I would like to try Oleg's version). I had downgraded kfurge 1.0.4.6 to official 1.0.4.6, then I restarted router and tried to install Oleg's firmware. I am sure I downloaded it from right place: http://oleg.wl500g.info/1.9.2.7-10/W...1.9.2.7-10.zip

On the other hand, I do not understand where is the relationship between firmware upgrade and post boot file, because error message appears almost directly after upgrade process starts (about 2-3 seconds).

@bogd_A:
Your transmission is fine. Checking files takes hours if you have big torrent files on the hdd. My transmission speed is always about 40k. never had it faster except "official" downloads.

I will not write a step-by-step howto. This is linux basics. You have to read and learn....

@all
ALWAYS REMEMBER: Your Asus is a Router and NOT a Pentium Core II Duo with 3GHz. THIS MACHINES ARE SLOW!!!

@metamorphose
Did you extract the zip?
