TomatoUSB

Hello everyone…

I've recently gotten Optware working on my Shibby 109 on my Asus RT-N66U. I have a 32GB flash card installed in the router, broken up the following way:

root@tomato:/tmp/home/root# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/sda1 /opt ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda2 /tmp/var/log ext2 defaults 1 1

When I use optware to install the bash shell, then logout and log back in, very few commands work. Please note, I didn't CHANGE root's shell to bash. I simply installed the bash optware package, log out, then ssh back into the router.

I don't think this is expected behavior, but I don't know how to take apart an Opware package (yet) in order to figure out what's being borked by the installation of that package.

Is anyone else seeing this behavior, or did someone slip my router a little meth when I wasn't looking? (Bad router, bad!)

The problem is because installing optware bash sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH which it should not. And that screws things up. Find where in the bash profile scripts that LD_LIBRARY_PATH gets set and delete or comment out that line.

Thank you for the heads up! It's been a while since i've tried my hand at a linux distro, I didn't even think to check the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable…

Is this something that I should bring up with the package maintainer so it can be repaired?

Are you really still using the often out of data "optware"? If so first step would be to ditch it and try Entware!
