HI el_ninoz,

before "cd /jffs/etc" execute :

mkdir /jffs/etc

Okay, I assume you missed one step in the guide, did you really reboot the rooter 2 times after you setup JFFS2?

The first boot after enabling JFFS2 is to setup the jffs file structure, the second boot will then create the appropriate dirs like /jffs/usr/lib/ipkg

Strange error, it says it cannot retrieve the file, can you show me the output of:

ls -la /jffs/usr/lib/ipkg/lists/

and output of:

mount

does it work if you download the file to the temp dir:

cd /tmp
wget http://www.desipro.de/packages/Packages

now there should be a file called Packages in /tmp

If download to tmp does not work you have a network problem. First thing to try would be lowering the MTU value:

Setup->Basic Setup->Optional Settings

Instead of default 1492 set it to 1412

If downloading to tmp works, then you can just move the file to the dest dir by hand:

mv /tmp/Packages /jffs/usr/lib/ipkg/lists/desipro

After that you can try installing packages.

root@Kuhn:/jffs# ipkg -d root -force-depends install aiccu_20070115-4_atheros.ipk
ERROR: File not found: //usr/local/lib/ipkg/lists/whiterussian

/bin/ipkg: line 1184: sort: not found

I am trying to install aiccu and get it working...

Even if I remove the -d root, I still get a host of error messages.

Thanks for the reply :-)

How do I get ipkg to update with this error:

mkdir: cannot create directory '//usr/local/lib/': Read-only file system

How do I set it to use /jffs and can I do that?

I greatly appreciate the assistance :-)

root@Kuhn:~# echo $IPKG_CONF_DIR

That one is empty


root@Kuhn:~# cat /etc/ipkg.conf
src whiterussian http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages
src non-free http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/non-free
src backports http://downloads.openwrt.org/backports/rc5
dest root /jffs
dest smbfs /tmp/smbshare
dest ram /tmp

and


root@Kuhn:~# fgrep IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT /bin/ipkg
s/^/`echo $IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT | ipkg_protect_slashes`/
if [ -z "$IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT" ]; then
IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT="`ipkg_option offline_root`"
# Export IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT for use by update-alternatives
export IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT
if [ -d "$IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT$DEST_NAME" ]; then
IPKG_ROOT="$IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT$DEST_NAME";
IPKG_LISTS_DIR=$IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT/$IPKG_DIR_PREFIX/lists
IPKG_PENDING_DIR=$IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT/$IPKG_DIR_PREFIX/pending
if [ -n "$IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT" ]; then
local sed_safe_offline_root="`echo ${IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT} | ipkg_protect_slashes`"
[ -n "$IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT" ] && return 0
IPKG_OFFLINE_ROOT="$2"

Downloading http://downloads.openwrt.org/whiterussian/packages/Packages ...
wget: unrecognized option `--passive-ftp'

Doesn't do anything due to this....

I will report the issue with the DD-WRT package for my router.

How do I go about fixing this issue?

awesome thanks!

So every ipkg command I want to execute I will have to use the /jffs/ipkg and what I want to do, correct?
