Request Support for TG-1 (VANT-5) iiNet/Internode

[fru1tl00p]

Would be great if this old modem could run tech-nginx-gui too!

Will test if I can get a basic setup working in the meantime.

Just started investigating this modem and can't get many opkg packages to run, I think it's a libc incompatibility. It has openwrt AA, brcm63xx MIPS.

See this thread for more details: https://github.com/kevdagoat/hack-technicolor/issues/2

Did you manage to unbrick?

Nope, but pretty sure I can TFTP it tomorrow.

[kevdagoat]

Keep in mind that tftp doesn’t fix a broken libc install in the rootfs data partition, it only replaces the base firmware image

Ah ok... well could be hosed then... I thought you couldn't make permanent changes to the base filesystem?

[kevdagoat]

Exactly. But you have made changes to the files that get overlaid over the firmware

How the hell could you manage to make changes to the files that get overlaid over the firmware?

[FrancYescO]

have you tried to just install the GUI? install log? errors? if the latest version is still based on 15.53.8141 i think the backport will be just too hard..

[brucbr]

I have the VANT-5 router, will be rooting it again soon (I am struggling to get the boot plan working to keep root).

I'll let you know if the gui works. I'll upload installer debug log and the debug zip (after 2 hours of running)

[brucbr]

Unable to connect to port 80! Is nginx not working? Yes.

Okay, That log was useless. The errors for whatever reason are not present. However when I try to start nginx manually nginx: [emerg] unknown directive "init_worker_by_lua" in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf:35

Also, this successfully setup the bootplan for me so yay.

[FrancYescO]

is this a dual bank device? if yes next build of this GUI will use bank_1 firmware space as overlay

btw, post your stock /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file the error you posted should came from here, when instaling used the debug flag when calling rootdevice

[brucbr]

Yes the device is dual bank. Removed nginx conf posted.

[brucbr]

I just realised you said stock. I took a look at the original nginx conf, it doesn't contain the directive. Everything in it is in the init_by_lua instead. Removing SSL aswell due to the fact that the nginx build doesn't support it.

The build of nginx for the router seems quite lacking in some aspects.

Removed error_log, init_by_lua_worker, all ssl related entries and most assistance related entries. The speed of serving the pages is quite slow however.

[brucbr]

No cards are present(Just the site background, no boxes or anything. Except for log in top corner and buttons in other top corner, none of which work) I'll post the install log here

[FrancYescO]

can be a good starting point.. logread | grep err after opening the GUI how much free space do you have after install? df -h does /etc/init.d/transformer restart give errors?

[brucbr]

Free Space:

Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
rootfs                   31.5M      9.3M     22.2M  30% /

Hi, just wanted to check if there was any progress into finding out the issue? I assume it has to do with the /dev/root usage being 100%. But I don't know anything, so yeah...

If I didn't provide something that you needed, please let me know.

[brucbr]

Hello @FrancYescO,

Just wanted to know if it was possible to get the GUI working on this device. If not could you please let me know.

Thanks

[FrancYescO]

You already found the fix needed, so yes is possible, this just needed to be included somehow in the main code
