Asus RT-N13U B1 - DD-wrt thread

am facing an issue in transmission. night, i put anything for download. in the morning when i check, i see that the downloads have paused with the error - 'no data found! set location blah blah blah....'
the location for downloads is clearly defined. any suggestions?
 
will do, when i see the error the next time.
am using ext3.

perhaps its something to do with what i had attempted a few days back. i had removed my currently operating flash-drive (with the present optware transmission on it, set-up for me by a forum-member), and then attached a 'test' flash-drive in place of it, to learn about installing optware packages and transmission practically on it. after i was done, i had re-attached the original flash-drive back and re-applied the start-up script in the router (an atheros one). seeing this issue since then.
 
I see optware download link on 1st post is down, anyone have working alternate link?
+1.[DOUBLEPOST=1409630604][/DOUBLEPOST]I tried to install optware. I got stuck at wget hxxp://www.3iii.dk/linux/optware/optware-install-ddwrt.sh -O /tmp/optware-install.sh
The file was not downloaded. Anyways I pulled the script manually and created the file using vi. However when I went ahead to run the script, I got error "No default Gateway set"

My N13u is set as repeater-bridge. It extends my primary wifi connection (N10E). Can i still set it up?

Working finally.

In repeater bridge setup, the route was pointing to quad-zero. So there was no internet connectivity. Under Advance Routing, I added permanent route for quad-zero to gateway. And it worked.

Code:
$ netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface

Link in OP is not working. I used this tutorial to set up. (Someone shared this link 2 pages back..:) )

@RajeshJ Check the link in my post.

something seems fishy towards the end (the 'e2fsck is recommended' lines). any suggestions?

P.S. - sdb1 is the drive where the downloads are stored. am guessing that mtnl resets the connection by morning, and it is when this happens.

Guys have you tried setting the channel width to 40mhz .Please report cause I have been trying to get this to work but the router reboots randomly (no optware only dd-wrt).
 
received the same error today again in the morning. got the dmesg output. here it is:

Have you done that already? Have you run e2fsck on the USB-Stick on a Linux Machine. Would suggest you do that. I can see you are using EXT3 so there should not be any corruption issues due to disconnection. But it wouldn't hurt to just let it run on the stick once.
 
thanks for the response! yes; i made an entry for sdb1 in fstab, but the only change it has made is, the downloads now i see in the morning are paused, instead of showing up the data-location error, as it used to happen earlier. i have been contemplating either re-installing rtorrent (had been unsuccessful in running that properly earlier), or re-install optware & xmission. then a few minutes back, it struck me why not try e2fsck, and then suddenly i saw your post!

yes, i had refrained from running e2fsck earlier, as i deemed it to be a bit risky. but will run it today & see.

so i ran 'fsck' in ubuntu, for the drive containing optware. this is the output i got (finished in no time):

for the storage flash-drive, i had run fsck, but forgot to record its output. it had found one (bad?) superblock, IIRC. i took a back-up of the contents and reformatted it. will check the downloads-status tomorrow morning and see. if i encounter the error again, will then re-schedule fsck-check and alter the mount-counts and then see. even if that fails (though i doubt), will then re-install transmission in another flash-drive (have kept a fresh flash-drive with optware installed prepared).
 
glad to tell you all that the issue seems to have been resolved! no more download pauses or errors seen in xmission in the morning. i ran fsck on the optware as well as the storage flash-drives, and indeed that seems to have cured the malady. now remains rescheduling the checks and altering the mount-counts.

(for anyone who might be wanting to run fsck but not knowing where to start from, this is what i did:

- connected each flash-drive to my Ubuntu-VM
- check the mount-points by issuing the cmd
Code:
mount
- note the partition/mount-point of your flash-drive
- issue the unmount cmd
Code:
umount /dev/sdb1
[where, supposing, /dev/sdb1 is the partition of the flash-drive to be unmounted]
- then, typed the code
Code:
fsck.ext3 -y -v -f -C 0 /dev/sdb1
[my flash-drive has ext3 filesystem; use 'fsck.ext2' in the cmd, or simply, 'fsck', if your flash-drive has ext2 FS or anything else]
- one could also use the code
Code:
fsck.ext3 -v -C 0 /dev/sdb1
[this will just check the filesystem for any errors, and if none encountered, will cease the operation; to anyway continue even if the filesystem is clean, include the '-f' parameter too in the cmd, and to answer 'yes' to go ahead with each step for which fsck will ask you permission for, also include the '-y' parameter in the cmd]
- remount, and check if everything's well
Code:
mount -a
)[DOUBLEPOST=1410420321][/DOUBLEPOST]but one thing which i have not been able to rectify still. my first download that i did with transmission, it keeps adding back to the daemon even if deleted and trashed alongwith the data, everytime (done manually too, using WinSCP). this started after i upgraded xmission from v2.82 to v2.84. to do that, i had first uninstalled (not purged; just removed using the 'opkg remove >pkg>' cmd on optware) the earlier version, then installed the latest version. any suggestions on how to rectify that?

Don't use it crashes a lot, use youtube-dl instead its command line fast downloader supports every resolution.

On other hand you guys should start using qbittorrent instead of transmission now.
 
alright. thanks! i downloaded a few ebooks using pyload, but not anything from any file-sharing site. had also read a bit about youtube-dl, but didn't know we could use it on a headless server too. will need to read how to install and get it working on my atheros router.
and am using rtorrent+ntorrent+avalanche-rt now on my router, instead of transmission. combo working well.
 
rutorrent failed to run, despite numerous tweaks in settings, and the support in the rutorrent forums is next-to-none.
will check qbittorrent too, but as this is also not in the repo, am doubtful that it would run. will try though.
