After reading the Optware Wiki Page I wrote the attached optware.sh script that works with FFP 0.5 that will install and configure optware. I'd appreciate any feedback to make it better. If it proves to be useful to others, and more importantly works for others:-), then it could be added to the Wiki.

To use it:

1. Install ffp 0.5 (see FFP Wiki Page)
2. Copy the optware.sh script to /ffp/start/ and make it executable
3. Reboot the DNS-323
4. Check the ffp.log on Volume_1 to see that it installed successfully

I have used it on my DNS-321 and it seems to install successfully, but I have been unable to use ipkg, I think because of library issues (see Topic)

the "/mnt/HD_a2/ffp/etc/profile.d/optware.sh" are missing logic for symbolic link

if [ -L /opt ]; then

mastervol · 2009-01-15 21:58:03

did you set the path to optware in /ffp/etc/profile??

Marijom · 2009-01-15 23:23:10

I added this in /mnt/HD_a2/ffp/etc/profile.d/optware.sh

if [ -L /opt ]; then
PATH=/opt/bin:$PATH
if [ $(/ffp/bin/id -u) -eq 0 ]; then
PATH=/opt/sbin:$PATH
fi
export PATH
fi

as the /opt is a symbolic linked

The PATH gets set in the file that optware.sh creates and puts in /ffp/etc/profile.d . With ffp 0.5 /ffp/etc/profile "sources" the files in /ffp/etc/profile.d so there is no need to actually change /ffp/etc/profile . After optware.sh has created /ffp/etc/profile.d/optware.sh , any future login shells created will "source" it and so the PATH will be set.

I don't think that a separate test is require in /ffp/etc/profile.d/optware.sh for checking if it is a symbolic link. If the link links to a directory then -d will still report that it is a directory. For me I have a link and it seems to work:

Code:

root@HTTB_1_NAS:~# ls -l /opt
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Jan 16 05:11 /opt -> /mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt
root@HTTB_1_NAS:~# if [ -d "/opt" ] ; then
> echo "Dir"
> else
> echo "Not Dir"
> fi
Dir
root@HTTB_1_NAS:~#

Could you try optware.sh without those lines and confirm it does set the PATH. For me when I telnet in after optware.sh has installed the PATH *is* set:

Code:

root@HTTB_1_NAS:~# echo $PATH
/opt/sbin:/opt/bin:/ffp/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/ffp/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
root@HTTB_1_NAS:~#

Hello,

I am a linux beginner, so I just follow indicated advice to configure my DNS-323 (fw 1.06). I have so installed ffp 0.5 without a glitch.

I just tried to install the optware.sh script, but I get the following error message during the installation:

* Retrieving optware packages currently available:
/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg update
/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg: can't load library 'libipkg.so.0'
* Optware packages available for installation:
/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg list
/mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt/bin/ipkg: can't load library 'libipkg.so.0'

Then the use of ipkg does not work as it should as it is not "found": what is wrong ?

Thank you in advance for your support.

bzhou · 2009-03-08 06:14:01

Optware ipkg only looks for libipkg.so.0 at /opt/lib, so you should either symlink or bind mount /mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt to /opt.

pkdick · 2009-03-08 13:01:31

Hello,

As written in the Optware wiki, I put the following commands within the optware.sh script (by changing the OPTWARE_USE_SYMBOLIC_LINK key to "0" and adding the export command:

mkdir -p /opt
mount --bind /mnt/HD_a2/ipkg/opt /opt
export PATH=/opt/bin:/opt/sbin:$PATH

Then I could type "ipkg list" and "ipkg update" with success!
I tried to install sabnzbdplus with "ipkg install sabnzbdplus": all files were downloaded but after a reboot of my DNS-323 but none of them were found running with a TOP command...

Again I have very limited LINUX knowledge and it seems that there is something wrong with the optware.sh script: it seems that there plenty of extensions ready to be used for the DNS-323, but that they are only available for "EXPERTS" and not for "BEGINNERS" like me...

TonyT · 2009-03-08 17:15:59

I wrote a script to do the install. If it works for others I can add it to the Wiki. Let me know:

Hello,

That is the problem: I installed your script straight and it did not work (as I tried to explain in my previous posts)... I have no idea why.

pkdick · 2009-03-13 10:00:16

Hello again,

Reading different threads, I found that using SSH rather than Telnet, the Optware script would work: I tried that (getting the same error messages that I indicated in my previous posts), but now it seems to work ! NSLU2 Software can install, but now I need some advice on how to configure them.

For example LightHttp installs nicely, but I do not know what to set-up then (as it is explained in the DNS-323 wiki or using other configuration parameters ?): I would be grateful if someone could help me !

Thank you in advance

What are you trying to do ? PHP + MySQL + LightTPD ?
