Adblock extra 'unable to complete setup' #181

Closed sumeetkpatel closed 7 months ago

sumeetkpatel commented 9 months ago

On the Gen3 modem I am getting this: Firmware Version: 20.4.0428-MR1-RA

root@CobraXh:/tmp/run/mountd/sda1/telstra/unhide# sh tch-gui-unhide-xtra.adblock setup
>> Determining installed and current versions of required packages...
>> Latest adblock version is 1.0.0-2
4.1.5-8 but only version 4.1 is supported - unable to complete setup

Any way to progress?

A new package called adblock-fast has been added to the repository, and it confused the version detection, which was just looking for package names starting with adblock.

I have committed a fix. Please download again and retry.

BTW: You really should consider upgrading your firmware to 21.4.0439. It is significantly more stable.

I started over.

Currently: Firmware Version: 21.4.0439-MR2.1-RA I tried adblock before unhide and it sent it into a boot loop. I've reflashed from scratch and back to a working 21.4.0439-MR2.1-RA unhide but without adblock. Should I try to run adblock again post unhide or just wait until this is better supported?

Here is the log right before it went into boot loop

A boot loop isn't usually a boot loop. It is usually caused by an executable doing a core dump, and these devices are configured to automatically reboot on a core dump. There will be a core dump file in /root which will indicate which program caused the issue (unless you have since done a reset).

Anyway, I have installed adblock multiple times on 21.4 without issue, so I am not sure what caused it.

Yes, you should re-run the adblock setup. If you are concerned about it happening again, you can run the following command (in the same directory that extracted tch-gui-unhide):

sh reboot-on-coredump -off

After adblock is setup, you will need to re-run the tch-gui-unhide install to pick up the additional adblock card.

I have been able to reproduce the core dump/boot loop issue. I am working on a fix.

seud0nym commented 9 months ago

I have found the problem. The adblock package has a dependency on the full coreutils sort (instead of the cut-down sort provided by BusyBox on these devices). I have been trying to build a 64-bit version, and I thought it was working, but it wasn't. It was sort that was core dumping and causing the issue. I have reverted to a 32-bit version (which does run on the Gen 3) and it seems to be fixed now.
